assets.
(b) Percentages
are based on net assets of $304,185,770 as of February 28, 2021.

there is no readily available market value for these investments, the fair values of these
investments were determined using significant unobservable inputs and approved in good faith
by our board of directors. These investments have been included as Level 3 in
the Fair Value Hierarchy (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
(d) These
securities are either fully or partially pledged as collateral under a senior secured revolving
credit facility (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements).

generated by the investment.
(f) As
defined in the Investment Company Act, this portfolio company is an Affiliate as we own between

1. Organization
Saratoga
Investment Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is a non-diversified closed end
management investment company incorporated in Maryland that has elected to be treated and is regulated as a business development company
(“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company commenced operations
on March 23, 2007 as GSC Investment Corp. and completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on March 28, 2007. The Company
has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”). The Company expects to continue to qualify and to elect to be treated, for tax purposes, as a RIC.
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation from its investments.
GSC
Investment, LLC (the “LLC”) was organized in May 2006 as a Maryland limited liability company. As of February 28, 2007, the
LLC had not yet commenced its operations and investment activities.
On
March 21, 2007, the Company was incorporated and concurrently therewith the LLC was merged with and into the Company, with the Company
as the surviving entity, in accordance with the procedure for such merger in the LLC’s limited liability company agreement and
Maryland law. In connection with such merger, each outstanding limited liability company interest of the LLC was converted into a share
of common stock of the Company.
On
July 30, 2010, the Company changed its name from “GSC Investment Corp.” to “Saratoga Investment Corp.” in connection
with the consummation of a recapitalization transaction.
The
Company is externally managed and advised by the investment adviser, Saratoga Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or
“Saratoga Investment Advisors”), pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Management Agreement”).
Prior to July 30, 2010, the Company was managed and advised by GSCP (NJ), L.P.
The
Company has established wholly-owned subsidiaries, SIA-Avionte, Inc., SIA-GH, Inc., SIA-MAC, Inc., SIA-PP, Inc., SIA-TG, Inc.,
SIA-TT, Inc., SIA-Vector, Inc. and SIA-VR, Inc., which are structured as Delaware entities, or tax blockers (“Taxable Blockers”), to
hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies, or LLCs (or other forms of
pass through entities). Tax blockers are consolidated for accounting purposes but are not consolidated for income tax purposes and
may incur income tax expense as a result of their ownership of portfolio companies.
On
March 28, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC, LP (“SBIC LP”), received a Small Business Investment
Company (“SBIC”) license from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On August 14, 2019, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC II LP (“SBIC II LP”), also received an SBIC license from the SBA. The new license
will provide up to $175.0 million in additional long-term capital in the form of SBA debentures.
Note
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), are stated in U.S. Dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its
special purpose financing subsidiaries, Saratoga Investment Funding, LLC (previously known as GSC Investment Funding LLC), SBIC LP, SBIC
II LP, SIA-Avionte, Inc., SIA-GH, Inc., SIA-MAC, Inc., SIA-PP, Inc., SIA-TG, Inc., SIA-TT, Inc., SIA-Vector, Inc. and SIA-VR, Inc. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the “Company,” “we,”
and “us” herein include Saratoga Investment Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise.
17
The
Company, SBIC LP and SBIC II LP are all considered to be investment companies for financial reporting purposes and have applied the guidance
in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial
Services — Investment Companies” (“ASC 946”). There have been no changes to the Company, SBIC LP or SBIC II LP’s
status as investment companies during the three months ended May 31, 2021.
Use
of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and income, gains (losses) and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in a money market fund. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which
approximates fair value. Per section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, the Company may not invest in another registered investment company
such as a money market fund if such investment would cause the Company to exceed any of the following limitations:
● we
were to own more than 3.0% of the total outstanding voting stock of the money market fund;
● we
were to hold securities in the money market fund having an aggregate value in excess of 5.0%
of the value of our total assets, except as allowed pursuant to Rule 12d1-1 of Section 12(d)(1)
of the 1940 Act which is designed to permit “cash sweep” arrangements rather
than investments directly in short-term instruments; or
● we
were to hold securities in money market funds and other registered investment companies and
BDCs having an aggregate value in excess of 10.0% of the value of our total assets.
As
of May 31, 2021, the Company did not exceed any of these limitations.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents, Reserve Accounts
Cash
and cash equivalents, reserve accounts include amounts held in designated bank accounts in the form of cash and short-term liquid investments
in money market funds, representing payments received on secured investments or other reserved amounts associated with the Company’s
$45.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Madison Capital Funding LLC. The Company is required to use these amounts
to pay interest expense, reduce borrowings, or pay other amounts in accordance with the terms of the senior secured revolving credit
facility.
In
addition, cash and cash equivalents, reserve accounts also include amounts held in designated bank accounts, in the form of cash and
short-term liquid investments in money market funds, within our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SBIC LP and SBIC II LP.
The
statements of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described
as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents, reserve accounts reported within the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Investment
Classification
The
Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control Investments”
are defined as investments in companies in which we own more than 25.0% of the voting securities or maintain greater than 50.0% of the
board representation. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those non-control investments in companies
in which we own between 5.0% and 25.0% of the voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined
as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.
Investment
Valuation
The Company accounts for its investments at fair
value in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and
enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that its investments are to be sold
or its liabilities are to be transferred at the measurement date in the principal market to independent market participants, or in the
absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as
buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.
Investments for which market quotations are readily
available are fair valued at such market quotations obtained from independent third-party pricing services and market makers subject to
any decision by our board of directors to approve a fair value determination to reflect significant events affecting the value of these
investments. We value investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as approved, in good faith, by our
board of directors based on input from our Manager, the audit committee of our board of directors and a third-party independent valuation
firm.
The Company undertakes a multi-step valuation
process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:
·
Each investment is initially valued by the responsible investment professionals of the Manager and preliminary valuation conclusions are documented, reviewed and discussed with our senior management; and
·
An independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors independently reviews a selection of these preliminary valuations each quarter so that the valuation of each investment for which market quotes are not readily available is reviewed by the independent valuation firm at least once each fiscal year.
In addition, all our investments are subject to
the following valuation process:
·
The audit committee of our board of directors reviews and approves each preliminary valuation and our Manager and independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee; and
●
Our board of directors discusses the valuations and approves the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of our Manager, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.
We use multiple techniques for determining fair
value based on the nature of the investment and experience with those types of investments and specific portfolio companies. The selections
of the valuation techniques and the inputs and assumptions used within those techniques often require subjective judgements and estimates.
These techniques include market comparables, discounted cash flows and enterprise value waterfalls. Fair value is best expressed as a
range of values from which the Company determines a single best estimate. The types of inputs and assumptions that may be considered in
determining the range of values of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s
ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis and volatility in future interest rates, call and put features, the markets in which
the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows and other relevant factors.

The Company’s investment in Saratoga Investment
Corp. CLO 2013-1, Ltd. (“Saratoga CLO”) is carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow valuation technique
that utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss inputs based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the
characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for equity interests in collateralized loan obligation funds similar
to Saratoga CLO, when available, as determined by our Manager and recommended to our board of directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash
flows, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of our investment in Saratoga CLO. The cash flows use a set of
inputs including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rates and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated valuations.
The inputs are based on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates. The Company uses
the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to perform a discounted cash flow analysis on expected future cash flows
to determine the valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO.
Because such valuations, and particularly valuations
of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based
on estimates. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these
investments existed. The Company’s net asset value could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of
our investments were materially higher or lower than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such investments.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
ASC 815 requires recognizing all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated statements of assets and
liabilities at fair value. The Company values derivative contracts at the closing fair value provided by the counterparty. Changes in
the values of derivative contracts are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Investment
Transactions and Income Recognition
Purchases
and sales of investments and the related realized gains or losses are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization
of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The
Company stops accruing interest on its investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Discounts and premiums
on investments purchased are accreted/amortized using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original
cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts over the life of the investment and amortization of premiums on investments up to the earliest
call date.
Loans
are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest
is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized
as a reduction in principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual
status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may
make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. At May 31, 2021,
certain investments in two portfolio companies, including preferred equity interests, were on non-accrual status with a fair value of
approximately $2.2 million, or 0.3% of the fair value of our portfolio. At February 28, 2021, certain investments in two portfolio companies,
including preferred equity interests, were on non-accrual status with a fair value of approximately $2.1 million, or 0.4% of the fair
value of our portfolio.
Interest
income on our investment in Saratoga CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic
325, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, (“ASC 325”), based on the anticipated yield
and the estimated cash flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are revised when there are changes in actual or estimated
cash flows due to changes in prepayments and/or re-investments, credit losses or asset pricing. Changes in estimated yield are recognized
as an adjustment to the estimated yield over the remaining life of the investment from the date the estimated yield was changed.
Payment-in-Kind
Interest
The
Company holds debt and preferred equity investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision.
The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity,
is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing PIK interest
if it is expected that the issuer will not be able to pay all principal and interest when due.
20
Structuring
and Advisory Fee Income
Structuring
and advisory fee income represents various fee income earned and received performing certain investment structuring and advisory activities
during the closing of new investments.
Other
Income
Other
income includes dividends received, prepayment income fees, and origination, monitoring, administration and amendment fees and is recorded
in the consolidated statements of operations when earned.
Deferred
Debt Financing Costs
Financing
costs incurred in connection with our credit facility and notes are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the life
of the respective facility and debt securities. Financing costs incurred in connection with our SBA debentures are deferred and amortized
using the straight-line method over the life of the debentures.
The
Company presents deferred debt financing costs on the balance sheet as a contra-liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount
of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
Contingencies
In
the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future
events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Company. Based on its history and experience, management
feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote. Therefore, the Company has not accrued any liabilities in connection with such
indemnifications.
In
the ordinary course of business, the Company may directly or indirectly be a defendant or plaintiff in legal actions with respect to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other types of proceedings. Such lawsuits may involve claims that could adversely affect the value of certain
financial instruments owned by the Company.
Income
Taxes
The
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
to its stockholders which will relieve the Company from federal income taxes. Therefore, no provision has been recorded for federal income
taxes, except as related to the Taxable Blockers and long-term capital gains, when applicable.
In
order to qualify as a RIC, among other requirements, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90.0%
of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each fiscal tax year. The Company will be subject to a
nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4.0% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least (1) 98.0% of its net
ordinary income in any calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31and (3)
any net ordinary income and capital gain net income that it recognized for preceding years, but were not distributed during such
year, and on which the Company paid no U.S federal income tax.
Depending
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
dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay the 4.0% 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 dividend distributions
for U.S. federal excise tax purposes, the Company accrues the U.S. federal excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as
taxable income is earned.
In
accordance with certain applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and private letter rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”),
a RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder may elect to receive
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
to all stockholders, which limitation must be at least 20.0% of the aggregate declared distribution. If too many stockholders elect to
receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash will receive a pro rata amount of cash (with the balance of the distribution
paid in stock). In no event will any stockholder, electing to receive cash, receive less than 20.0% of his or her entire distribution
in cash. If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in stock
will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock.
21
The
Company may utilize wholly-owned holding companies taxed under Subchapter C of the Code or tax blockers, when making equity investments
in portfolio companies taxed as pass-through entities to meet its source-of-income requirements as a RIC. Taxable Blockers are consolidated
in the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial statements and may result in current and deferred federal and state income tax expense with
respect to income derived from those investments. Such income, net of applicable income taxes, is not included in the Company’s
tax-basis net investment income until distributed by the Taxable Blocker, which may result in timing and character differences between
the Company’s U.S. GAAP and tax-basis net investment income and realized gains and losses. Income tax expense or benefit from Taxable
Blockers related to net investment income are included in total operating expenses, while any expense or benefit related to federal or
state income tax originated for capital gains and losses are included together with the applicable net realized or unrealized gain or
loss line item. Deferred tax assets of the Taxable Blockers are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more-likely than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
FASB
ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured,
presented and disclosed in the financial statements. 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 a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would
be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the
Company did not incur any interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal.
The 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 federal tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the IRS. As of May 31, 2021 and February
28, 2021, there were no uncertain tax positions. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that
the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.
Dividends
Dividends
to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors.
Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains
for reinvestment.
We
have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of our dividend distributions on behalf
of our stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a
cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their cash
dividends automatically reinvested into additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividends. We have the
option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases
of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator.
Capital
Gains Incentive Fee
The
Company records an expense accrual on the consolidated statements of operations, relating to the capital gains incentive fee payable
on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, by the Company to the Manager when the net realized and unrealized gain on
its investments exceed all net realized and unrealized capital losses on its investments given the fact that a capital gains incentive
fee would be owed to the Manager if the Company were to liquidate its investment portfolio at such time.
The
actual incentive fee payable to the Company’s Manager related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the
end of each fiscal year and only reflected those realized capital gains net of realized and unrealized losses for the period.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional
expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform
if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management does not believe this
optional guidance has a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
22
Risk
Management
In
the ordinary course of its business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the
risk 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.
Credit
risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies, equivalent to the investment’s carrying amount. 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 derivative counterparties.
The
Company has investments in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield bonds and bank loans. Investments in high yield investments
are accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk. 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 and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
Note
3. Investments
As
noted above, the Company values all investments in accordance with ASC 820. 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 independent market participants at the
measurement date.
ASC
820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used
in measuring investments at 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.
Based
on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements
according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values.
Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
● Level
1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the Company has the ability to access.
● Level
2— Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either
directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. 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 substantially the full
character of the financial instrument, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated
by, observable market information. Investments which are generally included in this category
include illiquid debt securities and less liquid, privately held or restricted equity securities,
for which some level of recent trading activity has been observed.
● Level
3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where
there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs may be based on the
Company’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability
or may use Level 2 inputs, as adjusted, to reflect specific investment attributes relative
to a broader market assumption. Even if observable market data for comparable performance
or valuation 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, etc.) is used in
the valuation technique. We use multiple techniques for determining fair value based on the
nature of the investment and experience with those types of investments and specific portfolio
companies. The selections of the valuation techniques and the inputs and assumptions used
within those techniques often require subjective judgements and estimates. These techniques
include market comparables, discounted cash flows and enterprise value waterfalls. Fair value
is best expressed as a range of values from which the Company determines a single best estimate.
The types of inputs and assumptions that may be considered in determining the range of values
of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio
company’s ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis and volatility in future
interest rates, call and put features, the markets in which the portfolio company does business,
comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows and other relevant factors.
23
In
addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company 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). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source
of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.

For
investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation,
would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) or revenue valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly
higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease)
in the discount rate, and prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement while
a significant increase (decrease) in recovery rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
For investments utilizing a market quote in deriving a value, a significant increase (decrease) in the market quote, in isolation, would
result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

For
loans and debt securities for which market quotations are not available, we determine their fair value based on third party indicative
broker quotes, where available, or the inputs that a hypothetical market participant would use to value the security in a current hypothetical
sale using a market comparables valuation technique. In applying the market comparables valuation technique, we determine the fair value
based on such factors as market participant inputs including synthetic credit ratings, estimated remaining life, current market yield
and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. If, in our judgment, the market comparables technique is
not sufficient or appropriate, we may use additional techniques such as an asset liquidation or expected recovery model.
For
equity securities of portfolio companies and partnership interests, we determine the fair value using an enterprise value waterfall valuation
technique. Under the enterprise value waterfall valuation technique, we determine the enterprise fair value of the portfolio company
and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another.
To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the traditional market valuation techniques and factors
based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The techniques for performing
investments may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable
companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering
offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent
investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral
value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities. We also take into account historical and anticipated financial results.

Our
investment in Saratoga CLO is carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow valuation technique that utilizes prepayment,
re-investment and loss inputs based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the
underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for equity interests in collateralized loan obligation funds similar to Saratoga CLO, when
available, as determined by our Manager and recommended to our board of directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash flows, or an appropriate
substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of our investment in Saratoga CLO. The cash flows use a set of inputs including projected
default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rates and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated valuations. The inputs are based
on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates. In connection with the refinancing
of the Saratoga CLO liabilities, we ran Intex models based on inputs about the refinanced Saratoga CLO’s structure, including capital
structure, cost of liabilities and reinvestment period. We use the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to perform
a discounted cash flow analysis on expected future cash flows to determine a valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO at May 31,
2021. The inputs at May 31, 2021 for the valuation model include:
● Default
rate: 2%
● Recovery
rate: 35% -70%
● Discount
rate: 10% – 15%
● Prepayment
rate: 20%
● Reinvestment
rate / price: L+365bps / $99.00

Saratoga
Investment Corp. CLO 2013-1, Ltd.
The
Company has a collateral management agreement with Saratoga CLO, pursuant to which the Company acts as its collateral manager. The Saratoga
CLO invests primarily in senior secured first lien term loans. The Company also holds an investment in the subordinated note and Class
F-R-3.
28
Note
4. Investment in Saratoga Investment Corp. CLO 2013-1, Ltd. (“Saratoga CLO”)
On
January 22, 2008, the Company entered into a collateral management agreement with Saratoga CLO, pursuant to which the Company acts as
its collateral manager. The Saratoga CLO was initially refinanced in October 2013 with its reinvestment period extended to October 2016.
On November 15, 2016, the Company completed a second refinancing of the Saratoga CLO with its reinvestment period extended to October
2018.
On
December 14, 2018, the Company completed a third refinancing and upsize of the Saratoga CLO (the “2013-1 Reset CLO Notes”).
The third Saratoga CLO refinancing, among other things, extended its reinvestment period to January 2021, and extended its legal maturity
date to January 2030. A non-call period ending January 2020 was also added. Following this refinancing, the Saratoga CLO portfolio increased
from approximately $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount to approximately $500.0 million of predominantly senior secured first
lien term loans. In addition to refinancing its liabilities, the Company invested an additional $13.8 million in all of the newly issued
subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO and also purchased $2.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-2 and $7.5 million
aggregate principal amount of the Class G-R-2 notes tranches at par, with a coupon of 3M USD LIBOR plus 8.75% and 3M USD LIBOR plus 10.00%,
respectively. As part of this refinancing, the Company also redeemed our existing $4.5 million aggregate amount of the Class F notes
tranche at par.
On
February 11, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Saratoga Investment Corp. CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2, Ltd.,
(“CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2”) a wholly-owned subsidiary Saratoga CLO.
On
February 26, 2021, the Company completed the fourth refinancing of the Saratoga CLO. This refinancing, among other things, extended the
Saratoga CLO reinvestment period to April 2024, and extended its legal maturity to April 2033. A non-call period ending February
2022 was also added. In addition, and as part of the refinancing, the Saratoga CLO has also been upsized from $500 million in assets
to approximately $650 million. As part of this refinancing and upsizing, the Company invested an additional $14.0 million in
all of the newly issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO, and purchased $17.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-3 Notes
tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing $2.5 million of Class F-R-2 Notes, $7.5 million of Class G-R-2 Notes and $25.0 million
of the CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Loan were repaid. The Company also paid $2.6 million of transaction costs related to the
refinancing and upsizing on behalf of the Saratoga CLO, to be reimbursed from future equity distributions. As of May 31, 2021, there
remained an outstanding receivable of $2.6 million for such transaction costs which is presented as due from affiliate on the Company’s
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
The
Saratoga CLO remains 100.0% owned and managed by the Company. We receive a base management fee of 0.10% per annum and a subordinated
management fee of 0.40% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga CLO’s assets, paid quarterly to the extent of
available proceeds. Following the third refinancing and the issuance of the 2013-1 Reset CLO Notes on December 14, 2018, we are no longer
entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 20.0% of excess cash flow to the extent the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes receive
an internal rate of return paid in cash equal to or greater than 12.0%.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we accrued management fee income of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively,
and interest income of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, from the Saratoga CLO.
As
of May 31, 2021, the aggregate principal amounts of the Company’s investments in the subordinated notes and Class F-R-3 Notes of
the Saratoga CLO was $111.0 million and $17.9 million, respectively, which had a corresponding fair value of $35.5 million and
$17.9 million, respectively. The Company determines the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO based
on the present value of the projected future cash flows of the subordinated notes over the life of Saratoga CLO. As of May 31, 2021,
Saratoga CLO had investments with a principal balance of $685.6 million and a weighted average spread over LIBOR of 3.8% and had debt
with a principal balance of $611.0 million with a weighted average spread over LIBOR of 2.2%. As a result, Saratoga CLO earns a “spread”
between the interest income it receives on its investments and the interest expense it pays on its debt and other operating expenses,
which is distributed quarterly to the Company as the holder of its subordinated notes. As of May 31, 2021, the present value of the projected
future cash flows of the subordinated notes was approximately $36.2 million, using a 15.0% discount rate. The Company’s
total investment in the subordinate notes of Saratoga CLO is $57.8 which consists of investments of $30 million in January 2008, $13.8
million in December 2018 and $14.0 million in February 2021; to date the Company has since received distributions of $68.4 million, management
fees of $25.7 million and incentive fees of $1.2 million. In conjunction with the third refinancing of the 2013-1 Reset CLO Notes on
December 14, 2018, the Company is no longer entitled to receive an incentive management fee from Saratoga CLO.
29
As
of February 28, 2021, the Company determined that the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO was $31.4
million. The Company determines the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO based on the present value
of the projected future cash flows of the subordinated notes over the life of Saratoga CLO. As of February 28, 2021, the fair value of
its investment in the Class F-R-3 Notes was $18.3 million, As of February 28, 2021, Saratoga CLO had investments with a principal balance
of $603.7 million and a weighted average spread over LIBOR of 3.8% and had debt with a principal balance of $611.0 million with a weighted
average spread over LIBOR of 2.2%. As a result, Saratoga CLO earns a “spread” between the interest income it receives on
its investments and the interest expense it pays on its debt and other operating expenses, which is distributed quarterly to the Company
as the holder of its subordinated notes. As of February 28, 2021, the present value of the projected future cash flows of the subordinated
notes was approximately $31.7 million, using a 15.0% discount rate.

5. Income Taxes
SIA-Avionte,
Inc., SIA-GH Inc., SIA-MAC, Inc., SIA-PP Inc., SIA-TG, Inc., SIA-TT, Inc., SIA-Vector, Inc., and SIA-VR, Inc., each 100% owned by the
Company, are each filing standalone C Corporation tax returns for federal and state purposes. As separately regarded entities for tax
purposes, these entities are taxed at normal corporate rates. For tax purposes, any distributions by the entities to the parent company
would generally need to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders. Generally, such distributions of the entities’ income
to the Company’s shareholders will be considered as qualified dividends for tax purposes. The entities’ taxable net income
will differ from U.S. GAAP net income because of deferred tax temporary differences arising from net operating losses and unrealized
appreciation and deprecation of securities held. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted corporate federal and
state tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those net operating losses are utilized and the unrealized
gains and losses are realized. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are netted off by entity, as allowed. The recoverability
of deferred tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded to the extent that it is more likely than not that any portion
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized on the basis of a history of operating losses combined with insufficient projected taxable
income or other taxable events in the taxable blockers.
The
Company may distribute a portion of its realized net long term capital gains in excess of realized net short term capital losses to its
stockholders, but may also decide to retain a portion, or all, of its net capital gains and elect to pay the 21% U.S. federal tax on
the net capital gain, potentially in the form of a “deemed distribution” to its stockholders. Income tax (provision) relating
to an election to retain its net capital gains, including in the form of a deemed distribution, is included as a component of income
tax (provision) benefit from realized gains on investments, depending on the character of the underlying taxable income (ordinary or
capital gains), on the consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities, and related valuation allowance as of May 31, 2021 and February 28, 2021 were as follows:
May 31, 2021
February 28, 2021
Total deferred tax assets
$ 2,144,029

Total deferred tax liabilities

(2,107,492 )
(2,044,100 )
Net deferred tax liability
$ (2,180,727 )
$ (1,922,664 )
As
of May 31, 2021, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was $2.1 million, which represents the federal and state tax effect
of net operating losses and unrealized losses that we do not believe we will realize through future taxable income. Any adjustments to
the Company’s valuation allowance will depend on estimates of future taxable income and will be made in the period such determination
is made.
Net
deferred tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended May 31, 2021 includes $0.2 million net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on investments and $0.0 million net change in total operating expense, in the consolidated statement of operations,
respectively. Net deferred tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended May 31, 2020 includes $(0.3) million net change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments and $(0.01) million net change in total operating expense, in the consolidated statement
of operations, respectively.
Deferred
tax temporary differences may include differences for state taxes and joint venture interests.

6. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
Investment
Advisory and Management Agreement
On
July 30, 2010, the Company entered into the Management Agreement with our Manager. The initial term of the Management Agreement was two
years, with automatic, one-year renewals at the end of each year, subject to certain approvals by our board of directors and/or the Company’s
stockholders. On July 6, 2021, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager implements our business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services
for us, subject to oversight by our board of directors. Our Manager is responsible for, among other duties, determining investment criteria,
sourcing, analyzing and executing investments transactions, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under the
Management Agreement, we have agreed to pay our Manager a management fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of
a base management fee and an incentive management fee.
Base
Management Fee and Incentive Management Fee
The
base management fee of 1.75% per year is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets (other than cash or cash equivalents,
but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed fiscal quarters. The base management
fee is paid quarterly following the filing of the most recent 10-Q.
The
incentive management fee consists of the following two parts:
The
first, payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the
value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, that exceeds a 1.875% quarterly hurdle rate measured as of the
end of each fiscal quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision. Under this provision, in any fiscal quarter, our Manager receives
no incentive fee unless our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.875%. Our Manager will receive 100.0%
of pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.344% in any fiscal quarter;
and 20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.344% in any fiscal quarter. There is no
accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter, and accordingly there is no claw back of amounts previously paid
if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate, and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly
hurdle rate.
The
second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Management
Agreement) and equals 20.0% of our “incentive fee capital gains,” which equals our realized capital gains on a cumulative
basis from May 31, 2010 through the end of the fiscal year, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital
depreciation on a cumulative basis on each investment in the Company’s portfolio, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid
capital gain incentive fee. Importantly, the capital gains portion of the incentive fee is based on realized gains and realized and unrealized
losses from May 31, 2010. Therefore, realized and unrealized losses incurred prior to such time will not be taken into account when calculating
the capital gains portion of the incentive fee, and our Manager will be entitled to 20.0% of incentive fee capital gains that arise after
May 31, 2010. In addition, for the purpose of the “incentive fee capital gains” calculations, the cost basis for computing
realized gains and losses on investments held by us as of May 31, 2010 will equal the fair value of such investments as of such date.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, the Company incurred $2.8 million and $2.2 million in base management fees, respectively.
For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, the Company incurred $1.6 million and $1.4 million in incentive fees related
to pre-incentive fee net investment income, respectively. For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, the Company accrued
an expense of $3.7 million and an expense of $(3.3) million in incentive fees related to capital gains.
The
accrual is calculated using both realized and unrealized capital gains for the period. The actual incentive fee related to capital
gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of the fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains for the
period. As of May 31, 2021, the base management fees accrual was $2.8 million and the incentive fees accrual was $3.7 million and is
included in base management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of
February 28, 2021, the base management fees accrual was $2.4 million and the incentive fees accrual was $13.8 million and is
included in base management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and
liabilities.

Administration
Agreement
On
July 30, 2010, the Company entered into a separate administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with our Manager,
pursuant to which our Manager, as our administrator, has agreed to furnish us with the facilities and administrative services necessary
to conduct our day-to-day operations and provide managerial assistance on our behalf to those portfolio companies to which we are required
to provide such assistance. The initial term of the Administration Agreement was two years, with automatic, one-year renewals at the
end of each year subject to certain approvals by our board of directors and/or our stockholders. The amount of expenses payable or reimbursable
thereunder by the Company was capped at $1.0 million for the initial two-year term of the Administration Agreement and subsequent renewals.
On July 8, 2015, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term and determined
to increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company thereunder, which had not been increased since the inception
of the agreement, to $1.3 million. On July 7, 2016, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an
additional one-year term. On October 5, 2016, our board of directors determined to increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of
expenses by the Company under the Administration Agreement, from $1.3 million to $1.5 million, effective November 1, 2016. On July 11,
2017, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term and determined to increase
the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company from $1.5 million to $1.75 million, effective August 1, 2017. On July
9, 2018, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term and determined to
increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company from $1.75 million to $2.0 million, effective August 1, 2018.
On July 9, 2019, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term and determined
to increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company from $2.0 million to $2.225 million effective August 1,
2019. On July 7, 2020, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term and
determined to increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company from $2.225 million to $2.775 million effective
August 1, 2020. On July 6, 2021, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year
term and determined to increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company from $2.775 million to $3.0 million
effective August 1, 2021.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we recognized $0.7 million and $0.6 million in administrator expenses, respectively,
pertaining to bookkeeping, record keeping and other administrative services provided to us in addition to our allocable portion of rent
and other overhead related expenses. As of May 31, 2021, $0.7 million of administrator expenses were accrued and included in due to manager
in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of February 28, 2021, $0.3 million of administrator expenses
were accrued and included in due to manager in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Saratoga
CLO
On
August 7, 2018, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with CLO 2013-1 Warehouse, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saratoga
CLO, pursuant to which CLO 2013-1 Warehouse may borrow from time to time up to $25 million from the Company in order to provide capital
necessary to support warehouse activities. The CLO 2013-1 Warehouse Loan, which expired on February 7, 2020, bears interest at an annual
rate of 3M USD LIBOR + 7.5%.
On
December 14, 2018, the Company completed the third refinancing and issuance of the 2013-1 Reset CLO Notes. This refinancing, among other
things, extended the Saratoga CLO reinvestment period to January 2021, and extended its legal maturity to January 2030. A non-call period
ending January 2020 was also added. In addition, and as part of the refinancing, the Saratoga CLO has also been upsized from $300 million
in assets to approximately $500 million. As part of this refinancing and upsizing, the Company invested an additional $13.8 million in
all of the newly issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO, and purchased $2.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class
F-R-2 Notes tranche and $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class G-R-2 Notes tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing
$4.5 million of Class F notes and $20.0 million CLO 2013-1 Warehouse Loan were repaid. The Company also paid $2.0 million of transaction
costs related to the refinancing and upsizing on behalf of the Saratoga CLO, to be reimbursed from future equity distributions. During
the year ended February 29, 2020, the Company received full payment of $1.7 million from the Saratoga CLO for such transaction costs.
58
In
conjunction with the third refinancing and issuance of the 2013-1 Reset CLO Notes on December 14, 2018, the Company is no longer entitled
to receive an incentive management fee from Saratoga CLO. See Note 4 for additional information.
On
February 26, 2021, the Company completed the fourth refinancing of the Saratoga CLO. This refinancing, among other things, extended the
Saratoga CLO reinvestment period to April 2024, and extended its legal maturity to April 2033. A non-call period ending February
2022 was also added. In addition, and as part of the refinancing, the Saratoga CLO has also been upsized from $500 million in assets
to approximately $650 million. As part of this refinancing and upsizing, the Company invested an additional $14.0 million in
all of the newly issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO, and purchased $17.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-3 Notes
tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing $2.5 million of Class F-R-2 Notes, $7.5 million of Class G-R-2 Notes and $25.0 million
CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Loan were repaid. The Company also paid $2.6 million of transaction costs related to the refinancing
and upsizing on behalf of the Saratoga CLO, to be reimbursed from future equity distributions. As of May 31, 2021, there remained
an outstanding receivable of $2.6 million for such transaction costs which is presented as due from affiliate on the Company’s
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we recognized management fee income of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively,
related to the Saratoga CLO.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, the Company neither bought nor sold any investments from the Saratoga CLO.
Note
7. Borrowings
Credit
Facility
As
a BDC, we are only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200.0%
after giving effect to such leverage, or, if we obtain the required approvals from our independent directors and/or stockholders, 150.0%.
The amount of leverage that we employ at any time depends on our assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed
borrowing. Our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, was 251.0% as of May 31, 2021 and 347.1% as of February 28, 2021. On
April 16, 2018, as permitted by the Small Business Credit Availability Act, which was signed into law on March 23, 2018, our non-interested
board of directors approved of our becoming subject to a minimum asset coverage ratio of 150.0% under Sections 18(a)(1) and 18(a)(2)
of the Investment Company Act, as amended. The 150.0% asset coverage ratio became effective on April 16, 2019.
On
April 11, 2007, we entered into a $100.0 million revolving securitized credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). On
May 1, 2007, we entered into a $25.7 million term securitized credit facility (the “Term Facility” and, together with
the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”), which was fully drawn at closing. In December 2007, we consolidated the
Facilities by using a draw under the Revolving Facility to repay the Term Facility. In response to the market wide decline in
financial asset prices, which negatively affected the value of our portfolio, we terminated the revolving period of the Revolving
Facility effective January 14, 2009 and commenced a two-year amortization period during which all principal proceeds from the
collateral were used to repay outstanding borrowings. A significant percentage of our total assets had been pledged under the
Revolving Facility to secure our obligations thereunder. Under the Revolving Facility, funds were borrowed from or through certain
lenders and interest was payable monthly at the greater of the commercial paper rate and our lender’s prime rate plus 4.00%
plus a default rate of 2.00% or, if the commercial paper market was unavailable, the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rates and our
lender’s prime rate plus 6.00% plus a default rate of 3.00%.
On
July 30, 2010, we used the net proceeds from (i) the stock purchase transaction and (ii) a portion of the funds available to us under
the $45.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Madison Capital Funding LLC (the “Credit Facility”), in each
case, to pay the full amount of principal and accrued interest, including default interest, outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
As a result, the Revolving Facility was terminated in connection therewith. Substantially all of our total assets, other than those held
by SBIC LP, have been pledged under the Credit Facility to secure our obligations thereunder.
59
On
February 24, 2012, we amended the Credit Facility to, among other things:
● expand
the borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility from $40.0 million to $45.0 million;
● extend
the period during which we may make and repay borrowings under the Credit Facility from July 30, 2013 to February 24, 2015 (the “Revolving
Period”). The Revolving Period may, upon the occurrence of an event of default, by action of the lenders or automatically, be terminated.
All borrowings and other amounts payable under the Credit Facility are due and payable five years after the end of the Revolving Period;
and
● remove
the condition that we may not acquire additional loan assets without the prior written consent of Madison Capital Funding LLC.
On
September 17, 2014, we entered into a second amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things:
● extend
the commitment termination date from February 24, 2015 to September 17, 2017;
● extend
the maturity date of the Credit Facility from February 24, 2020 to September 17, 2022 (unless terminated sooner upon certain events);
● reduce
the applicable margin rate on base rate borrowings from 4.50% to 3.75%, and on LIBOR borrowings from 5.50% to 4.75%; and
● reduce
the floor on base rate borrowings from 3.00% to 2.25%, and on LIBOR borrowings from 2.00% to 1.25%.
On
May 18, 2017, we entered into a third amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things:
● extend
the commitment termination date from September 17, 2017 to September 17, 2020;
● extend
the final maturity date of the Credit Facility from September 17, 2022 to September 17, 2025 (unless terminated sooner upon certain events);
● reduce
the floor on base rate borrowings from 2.25% to 2.00%;
● reduce
the floor on LIBOR borrowings from 1.25% to 1.00%; and
● reduce
the commitment fee rate from 0.75% to 0.50% for any period during which the ratio of advances outstanding to aggregate commitments, expressed
as a percentage, is greater than or equal to 50%.
On
April 24, 2020, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things:
● permit
certain amendments related to the Paycheck Protection Program (“Permitted PPP Amendment”) to Loan Asset Documents;
● exclude
certain debt and interest amounts allowed by the Permitted PPP Amendments from certain calculations related to Net Leverage Ratio, Interest
Coverage Ratio and EBITDA; and
● exclude
such Permitted PPP Amendments from constituting a Material Modification.
On
September 14, 2020, we entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things:
● extend
the commitment termination date of the Credit Facility from September 17, 2020 to September 17, 2021, with no change to the maturity
date of September 17, 2025.
● provide
for the transition away from the LIBOR Rate in the market, and
● expand
the definition of “Eligible Loan Asset” to allow investments with certain recurring revenue features to qualify as Collateral
and be included in the borrowing base.
60
In
addition to any fees or other amounts payable under the terms of the Credit Facility, an administrative agent fee per annum equal to
$0.1 million is payable in equal monthly installments in arrears.
As
of May 31, 2021 and February 28, 2021, there were $39.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, borrowed under the Credit Facility.
During the applicable periods, the Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the Credit Facility.
Financing costs of $3.4 million related to the Credit Facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the
facility.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million of interest expense related to the Credit
Facility, respectively, which includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May
31, 2020, we recorded $0.04 million and $0.02 million of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility, respectively.
Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs are reported as interest and debt financing expense on the consolidated
statements of operations. During the three months ended May 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings
under the Credit Facility was 6.37%, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was $4.1 million.
The
Credit Facility contains limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used, such as restrictions on industry concentrations, asset size,
weighted average life, currency denomination and collateral interests. The Credit Facility also includes certain requirements relating
to portfolio performance, the violation of which could result in the limit of further advances and, in some cases, result in an event
of default, allowing the lenders to accelerate repayment of amounts owed thereunder. The Credit Facility has an eight-year term, consisting
of a three-year period (the “Revolving Period”), under which the Company may make and repay borrowings, and a final maturity
five years from the end of the Revolving Period. Availability on the Credit Facility will be subject to a borrowing base calculation,
based on, among other things, applicable advance rates (which vary from 50.0% to 75.0% of par or fair value depending on the type of
loan asset) and the value of certain “eligible” loan assets included as part of the Borrowing Base. Funds may be borrowed
at the greater of the prevailing one-month LIBOR rate and 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 4.75%. At the Company’s option, funds
may be borrowed based on an alternative base rate, which in no event will be less than 2.00%, and the applicable margin over such alternative
base rate is 3.75%. In addition, the Company will pay the lenders a commitment fee of 0.75% per year (or 0.50% if the ratio of advances
outstanding to aggregate commitments is greater than or equal to 50%) on the unused amount of the Credit Facility for the duration of
the Revolving Period.
Our
borrowing base under the Credit Facility was $51.1 million subject to the Credit Facility cap of $45.0 million at May 31, 2021. For purposes
of determining the borrowing base, most assets are assigned the values set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the May 31, 2021 borrowing
base relies upon the valuations set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended February 28, 2021. The valuations presented
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will not be incorporated into the borrowing base until after this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
is filed with the SEC.
SBA
Debentures
Our
wholly-owned SBIC subsidiaries are able to borrow funds from the SBA against regulatory capital (which approximates equity capital) that
is paid in and is subject to customary regulatory requirements including but not limited to an examination by the SBA.
On
August 14, 2019, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SBIC II LP, received an SBIC license from the SBA. The new license provides
up to $175.0 million in additional long-term capital in the form of SBA debentures. As a result of the 2016 omnibus spending
bill signed into law in December 2015, the maximum amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that affiliated SBIC funds can have outstanding
was increased from $225.0 million to $350.0 million. With this license approval, Saratoga can grow its SBA relationship from $150.0
million to $325.0 million of committed capital.
As
of May 31, 2021, we have funded SBIC LP and SBIC II LP with an aggregate total of equity capital of $75.0 million and $84.0 million,
respectively, and have $168.0 million in SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding, of which $124.0 million is held in SBIC LP and $44.0
million held in SBIC II LP. SBA debentures are non-recourse to us, have a 10-year maturity, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The interest rate of SBA debentures is fixed at the time of issuance, often referred to as pooling, at a market-driven spread over 10-year
U.S. Treasury Notes. SBA current regulations limit the amount that SBIC LP and SBIC II LP may borrow to a maximum of $150.0 million and
$175.0 million, respectively, which is up to twice its potential regulatory capital.
61
SBICs
are designed to stimulate the flow of private equity capital to eligible small businesses. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans
to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses. Under present SBA regulations, eligible small businesses
include businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $19.5 million and have average annual fully taxed net income not exceeding
$6.5 million for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, an SBIC must devote 25.0% of its investment activity to ‘‘smaller’’
concerns as defined by the SBA. A smaller concern is one that has a tangible net worth not exceeding $6.0 million and has average annual
fully taxed net income not exceeding $2.0 million for the two most recent fiscal years. SBA regulations also provide alternative size
standard criteria to determine eligibility, which depend on the industry in which the business is engaged and are based on such factors
as the number of employees and gross sales. According to SBA regulations, SBICs may make long-term loans to small businesses, invest
in the equity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting and advisory services.
SBIC
LP and SBIC II LP are subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to maintaining certain minimum
financial ratios and other covenants. Receipt of an SBIC license does not assure that SBIC II LP will receive SBA-guaranteed debenture
funding, which is dependent upon SBIC II LP continuing to be in compliance with SBA regulations and policies. The SBA, as a creditor,
will have a superior claim to SBIC LP and SBIC II LP assets over our stockholders and debtholders in the event we liquidate SBIC LP and
SBIC II LP or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by SBIC LP and SBIC II LP upon an event of default.
The
Company received exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to exclude the debt of SBIC subsidiaries guaranteed by the SBA from the definition
of senior securities in the asset coverage test under the 1940 Act. This allows the Company increased flexibility under the asset coverage
test by permitting it to borrow up to $325.0 million more than it would otherwise be able to absent the receipt of this exemptive relief.
On April 16, 2018, as permitted by the Small Business Credit Availability Act, which was signed into law on March 23, 2018, the non-interested
board of directors of the Company approved of the Company becoming subject to a minimum asset coverage ratio of 150.0% from 200% under
Sections 18(a)(1) and 18(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act, as amended. The 150.0% asset coverage ratio became effective on April 16,
2019.
As
noted above, as of May 31, 2021, there was $168.0 million of SBA debentures outstanding and as of February 28, 2021, there was $158.0
million of SBA debentures outstanding. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding of SBA debentures approximates its fair value, which
is based on a waterfall analysis showing adequate collateral coverage and would be classified as a Level 3 liability within the fair
value hierarchy. Financing costs of $5.0 million and $2.5 million related to the SBA debentures issued by SBIC LP and SBIC II LP,
respectively, have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the commitment and drawdown.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we recorded $1.2 million and $1.2 million of interest expense related to the SBA
debentures, respectively. For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.2 million of amortization
of deferred financing costs related to the SBA debentures, respectively. Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs
are reported as interest and debt financing expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average interest rate
during the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020 on the outstanding borrowings of the SBA debentures was 2.93% and 3.16%,
respectively. During the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, the average dollar amount of SBA debentures outstanding was
$158.4 million and $157.4 million, respectively.
In
December 2015, the 2016 omnibus spending bill approved by Congress and signed into law by the President increased the amount of SBA-guaranteed
debentures that affiliated SBIC funds can have outstanding from $225.0 million to $350.0 million, subject to SBA approval. SBA regulations
previously limited the amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that an SBIC may issue to $150.0 million when it has at least $75.0 million
in regulatory capital but this has increased to $175.0 million for new licenses when it has at least $87.5 million in regulatory capital.
Affiliated SBICs are permitted to issue up to a combined maximum amount of $350.0 million in SBA-guaranteed debentures when they have
at least $175.0 million in combined regulatory capital.
Notes
In
May 10, 2013, the Company issued $48.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% fixed-rate notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”).
The 2020 Notes were redeemed in full on January 13, 2017 and are no longer listed on the NYSE.
62
On
May 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Debt Distribution Agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. through which the Company may
offer for sale, from time to time, up to $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes through an At-the-Market (“ATM”)
offering. Prior to the 2020 Notes being redeemed in full, the Company had sold 539,725 bonds with a principal of $13.5 million at an
average price of $25.31 for aggregate net proceeds of $13.4 million (net of transaction costs).
On
December 21, 2016, the Company issued $74.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% fixed-rate notes due 2023 (the “2023
Notes”) for net proceeds of $71.7 million after deducting underwriting commissions of approximately $2.3 million and offering costs
of approximately $0.5 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under the 2020
Notes, which amounted to $61.8 million, and for general corporate purposes in accordance with our investment objective and strategies.
On
December 21, 2019 and February 7, 2020, the Company redeemed $50.0 million and $24.5 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount
of the $74.5 million in aggregate principal amount of issued and outstanding 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes were listed on the NYSE under
the trading symbol “SAB” with a par value of $25.00 per share, and have been delisted following the redemption.
On
August 28, 2018, the Company issued $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% fixed-rate notes due 2025 (the “6.25%
2025 Notes”) for net proceeds of $38.7 million after deducting underwriting commissions of approximately $1.3 million. Offering
costs incurred were approximately $0.3 million. The issuance included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase
an additional $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% 2025 Notes within 30 days. Interest on the 6.25% 2025 Notes is paid quarterly
in arrears on February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30, at a rate of 6.25% per year, beginning November 30, 2018. The 6.25% 2025
Notes mature on August 31, 2025 and commencing August 28, 2021, may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time
at our option. The net proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes in accordance with our investment objective
and strategies. Financing costs of $1.6 million related to the 6.25% 2025 Notes have been capitalized and are being amortized over the
term of the 6.25% 2025 Notes.
On
February 5, 2019, the Company completed a re-opening and up-sizing of its existing 6.25% 2025 Notes by issuing an additional $20.0 million
in aggregate principal amount for net proceeds of $19.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of approximately $0.6 million
and discount of $0.2 million. Offering costs incurred were approximately $0.2 million. The issuance included the full exercise of the
underwriters’ option to purchase an additional $2.5 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% 2025 Notes within 30 days. Interest
rate, interest payment dates and maturity remain unchanged from the existing 6.25% 2025 Notes issued in August 2018. The net proceeds
from this offering were used for general corporate purposes in accordance with our investment objective and strategies. The financing
costs and discount of $1.0 million related to the 6.25% 2025 Notes have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the
6.25% 2025 Notes.
As
of May 31, 2021, the total 6.25% 2025 Notes outstanding was $60.0 million. The 6.25% 2025 Notes are listed on the NYSE under the
trading symbol “SAF” with a par value of $25.00 per share.
As
of May 31, 2021, the carrying amount and fair value of the 6.25% 2025 Notes was $60.0 million and $60.9 million, respectively.
The fair value of the 6.25% 2025 Notes, which are publicly traded, is based upon closing market quotes as of the measurement date and
would be classified as a Level 1 liability within the fair value hierarchy. As of February 28, 2021, the carrying amount and fair value

The
independent directors each receive an annual fee of $70,000. They also receive $3,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with attending each board meeting and receive $1,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with attending each committee meeting. In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual fee

the greater of net asset value or the market price at the time of payment. No compensation is paid to directors who are “interested
persons” of the Company (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act). For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, we
incurred $0.09 million and $0.06 million for directors’ fees and expenses, respectively. As of May 31, 2021 and February 28,

July 30, 2010, our Manager and its affiliates purchased 986,842 shares of common stock at $15.20 per share. Total proceeds received from
this sale were $15.0 million.
On
August 12, 2010, we effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split,
every ten shares of our common stock were converted into one share of our common stock. Any fractional shares received as a result of
the reverse stock split were redeemed for cash. The total cash payment in lieu of shares was $230. Immediately after the reverse stock
split, we had 2,680,842 shares of our common stock outstanding.
On
September 24, 2014, the Company announced the approval of an open market share repurchase plan that allowed it to repurchase up to 200,000
shares of its common stock at prices below its NAV as reported in its then most recently published consolidated financial statements
(the “Share Repurchase Plan”). On October 7, 2015, our board of directors extended the Share Repurchase Plan for another
year and increased the number of shares the Company is permitted to repurchase at prices below its NAV, as reported in its then most
recently published consolidated financial statements, to 400,000 shares of its common stock. On October 5, 2016, our board of directors
extended the Share Repurchase Plan for another year to October 15, 2017 and increased the number of shares the Company is permitted to
repurchase at prices below its NAV, as reported in its then most recently published consolidated financial statements, to 600,000 shares
of its common stock. On October 10, 2017, January 8, 2019 and January 7, 2020, our board of directors extended the Share Repurchase Plan
for another year to October 15, 2018, January 15, 2020 and January 15, 2021, respectively, each time leaving the number of shares unchanged
at 600,000 shares of its common stock. On May 4, 2020, our board of directors increased the Share Repurchase Plan to 1.3 million shares
of common stock. On January 5, 2021, our board of directors extended the Shares Repurchase Plan for another year to January 15, 2022,
leaving the number of shares unchanged at 1.3 million shares of common stock. As of May 31, 2021, the Company purchased 448,812 shares
of common stock, at the average price of $18.49 for approximately $8.3 million pursuant to the Share Repurchase Plan. During the three

On
March 16, 2017, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., through which we may offer for
sale, from time to time, up to $30.0 million of our common stock through an ATM offering. Subsequent to this, BB&T Capital Markets
and B. Riley FBR, Inc. were also added to the agreement. On July 11, 2019, the amount of the common stock to be offered was increased
to $70.0 million, and on October 8, 2019, the amount of the common stock to be offered was increased to $130.0 million. As of May 31,
2021, the Company sold 3,992,018 shares for gross proceeds of $97.1 million at an average price of $24.77 for aggregate net proceeds
of $95.9 million (net of transaction costs). During the three months ended May 31, 2021, there was no activity related to the ATM offering.
On
July 13, 2018, the Company issued 1,150,000 shares of its common stock priced at $25.00 per share (par value $0.001 per share) at an
aggregate total of $28.75 million. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting commissions of $1.15 million and offering costs
of approximately $0.2 million, amounted to approximately $27.4 million. The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option
to purchase up to an additional 172,500 shares of its common stock, which was not exercised.
The
Company adopted Rule 3-04/Rule 8-03(a)(5) under Regulation S-X (Note 2). Pursuant to the regulation, the Company has presented a

11. Earnings Per Share
In
accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), basic earnings per share
is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a
diluted basis.
The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share for the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts):

12. Dividend
On
May 27, 2021, the Company declared a dividend of $0.44 per share payable on June 29, 2021, to common stockholders of record on June
15, 2021. Shareholders have the option to receive payment of the dividend in cash, or receive shares of common stock, pursuant to
the Company's DRIP. Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of approximately $4.1 million in cash and 33,099 newly
issued shares of common stock, or 0.3% of our outstanding common stock prior to the dividend payment. The number of shares of common
stock comprising the stock portion was calculated based on a price of $25.03 per share, which equaled 95% of the volume weighted
average trading price per share of the common stock on June 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28 and 29, 2021.
During
the three months ended May 31, 2020, there were no dividends declared.
The following table summarizes dividends declared for the three months ended May 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands except per share amounts):

(1) Per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average
shares outstanding during the period.
(2) The continuous issuance of common stock may cause an incremental
increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds
per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share data was derived by
computing (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares issued in connection with subscriptions and/or distribution reinvestment on each share
transaction date multiplied by (B) the differences between the net proceeds per share and the net asset value per share on each share
transaction date, divided by (ii) the total shares outstanding during the period.
(3) Represents the anti-dilutive impact on the net asset value per
share (“NAV”) of the Company due to the repurchase of common shares. See Note 10, Stockholders’ Equity.
(4) Represents the dilutive effect of issuing common stock below
net asset value per share during the period in connection with the satisfaction of the Company’s annual RIC distribution requirement
and may include the impact of the different share amounts used for different items (weighted average basic common shares outstanding
for the corresponding year and actual common shares outstanding at the end of the year) in the per common share data calculation and
rounding impacts. See Note 12, Dividend.
73
(5) Ratios are not annualized.
(6) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of
common shares at the current market value on the first day and a sale at the current market value on the last day of the periods reported.
Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Company’s
DRIP. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions.
(7) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of
common shares at the current net asset value on the first day and a sale at the current net asset value on the last day of the periods
reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under
the Company’s DRIP. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions.
(8) Ratios are annualized. Incentive management fees included within the ratio are not annualized.
(9) Ratios are annualized.
(10) Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date
sales or year-to-date purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value.
(11) Asset coverage ratio per unit is the ratio of the carrying value
of our total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount
of senior securities representing indebtedness. Asset coverage ratio per unit is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 of indebtedness.
Asset coverage ratio per unit does not include unfunded commitments. The inclusion of unfunded commitments in the calculation of the
asset coverage ratio per unit would not cause us to be below the required amount of regulatory coverage.
(12) The Revolving Credit Facility, SBA Debentures, 7.75% Notes Payable
2025, 4.375% Notes Payable and 6.25% Notes Payable are not registered for public trading.
(13) On December 21, 2019 and February 7, 2020, the Company redeemed
$50.0 million and $24.5 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the $74.5 million in aggregate principal amount of issued
and outstanding 2023 Notes and are no longer listed on the NYSE.
Note
14. Subsequent Events
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q and determined that there have been no events that have
occurred that would require adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements except for the following:
Subsequent
to May 31, 2021, the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has adversely affected some of the Company’s investments and continues
to have adverse consequences on the U.S. and global economies. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact
on economies, markets, industries and individual portfolio companies, remains uncertain. At the time of this filing, there is no indication
of a reportable subsequent event impacting the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended May 31, 2021. The Company
cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected at this time. The potential
impact to our results will depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration
and severity of COVID-19. The Company continues to observe and respond to the evolving COVID-19 environment and its potential impact
on areas across its business.

are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted
in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
● changes
in laws and regulations, changes in political, economic or industry conditions, and changes
in the interest rate environment, including with respect to the anticipated discontinuation
of LIBOR, or other conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including with
respect to changes resulting from or in response to, or potentially even the absence of changes
as a result of, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
● the
length and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States as well as worldwide, and
the magnitude of its impact and time required for economic recovery, including with respect
to the impact of travel restrictions and other isolation and quarantine measures on the ability
of the Manager’s investment professionals to conduct in-person diligence on, and otherwise
monitor, existing and future investments;
● an
economic downturn and the time period required for robust economic recovery therefrom, including
the current economic downturn as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may
have a material impact on our portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial
condition, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in certain portfolio
companies and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition ;
● a
contraction of available credit, an inability or unwillingness of our lenders to fund their
commitments to us and/or an inability to access capital markets or additional sources of
liquidity, including as a result of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and impair
our lending and investment activities;
● risks
associated with possible disruption in our portfolio companies’ operations due to wars
and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events
such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics; and
● the
risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A, in our quarterly reports on Form

OVERVIEW
We
are a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940
Act”). Our investment objective is to create attractive risk-adjusted returns by generating current income and long-term capital
appreciation from our investments. We invest primarily in senior and unitranche leveraged loans and mezzanine debt issued by private
U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies having earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
of between $2 million and $50 million, both through direct lending and through participation in loan syndicates. We may also invest up
to 30.0% of the portfolio in opportunistic investments in order to seek to enhance returns to stockholders. Such investments may include
investments in distressed debt, which may include securities of companies in bankruptcy, foreign debt, private equity, securities of
public companies that are not thinly traded and structured finance vehicles such as collateralized loan obligation funds. Although we
have no current intention to do so, to the extent we invest in private equity funds, we will limit our investments in entities that are
excluded from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, which includes
private equity funds, to no more than 15.0% of its net assets. We have elected and qualified to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
COVID-19
Update
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the United
States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted global economic activity
and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has led to, and for an
unknown period of time will continue to lead to, disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies affected thereby,
including the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused, and
are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, or the re-introduction of business shutdowns, cancellations of events and restrictions on
travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in business activity and financial transactions,
supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. In addition,
although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized vaccines for emergency use starting in December 2020, it is unclear when “herd
immunity” will be achieved and when the restrictions that were imposed to slow the spread of the virus will be lifted entirely.
The delay in distributing the vaccines could lead people to continue to self-isolate and not participate in the economy at pre-pandemic
levels for a prolonged period of time. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies
may continue to experience a recession. As a result, COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risks with respect to the underlying
value of the Company’s portfolio companies, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows,
such as the potential negative impact to financing arrangements, company decisions to delay, defer and/or modify the character of dividends
in order to preserve liquidity, increased costs of operations, changes in law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government
and regulatory policy.
77
We
have evaluated subsequent events from June 1, 2021 through July 7, 2021. However, as the discussion in this Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relates to the Company’s financial statements for the
quarter-ended May 31, 2021, the analysis contained herein may not fully account for impacts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that
regard, for example, as of May 31, 2021, the Company valued its portfolio investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP based on the facts
and circumstances known by the Company at that time, or reasonably expected to be known at that time. Due to the overall volatility that
the COVID-19 pandemic has caused during the months that followed our May 31, 2021 valuation, any valuations conducted now or in the future
in conformity with U.S. GAAP could result in a lower fair value of our portfolio. The potential impact to our results going forward will
depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID- 19
and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, all of which are beyond our control.
Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operations will be affected at this
time.
Corporate
History
We
commenced operations, at the time known as GSC Investment Corp., on March 23, 2007 and completed an initial public offering of shares
of common stock on March 28, 2007. Prior to July 30, 2010, we were externally managed and advised by GSCP (NJ), L.P., an entity affiliated
with GSC Group, Inc. In connection with the consummation of a recapitalization transaction on July 30, 2010, as described below we engaged
Saratoga Investment Advisors to replace GSCP (NJ), L.P. as our investment adviser and changed our name to Saratoga Investment Corp.
As
a result of the event of default under a revolving securitized credit facility with Deutsche Bank we previously had in place, in December
2008 we engaged the investment banking firm of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company to evaluate strategic transaction opportunities and consider
alternatives for us. On April 14, 2010, GSC Investment Corp. entered into a stock purchase agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors
and certain of its affiliates and an assignment, assumption and novation agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors, pursuant to which
GSC Investment Corp. assumed certain rights and obligations of Saratoga Investment Advisors under a debt commitment letter Saratoga Investment
Advisors received from Madison Capital Funding LLC, which indicated Madison Capital Funding’s willingness to provide GSC Investment
Corp. with a $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. In
addition, GSC Investment Corp. and GSCP (NJ), L.P. entered into a termination and release agreement, to be effective as of the closing
of the transaction contemplated by the stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which GSCP (NJ), L.P., among other things, agreed to waive
any and all accrued and unpaid deferred incentive management fees up to and as of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the
stock purchase agreement but continued to be entitled to receive the base management fees earned through the date of the closing of the
transaction contemplated by the stock purchase agreement.
On
July 30, 2010, the transactions contemplated by the stock purchase agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors and certain of its affiliates
were completed, the private sale of 986,842 shares of our common stock for $15.0 million in aggregate purchase price to Saratoga Investment
Advisors and certain of its affiliates closed, the Company entered into the Credit Facility, and the Company began doing business as
Saratoga Investment Corp.
We
used the net proceeds from the private sale transaction and a portion of the funds available to us under the Credit Facility to pay the
full amount of principal and accrued interest, including default interest, outstanding under our revolving securitized credit facility
with Deutsche Bank. The revolving securitized credit facility with Deutsche Bank was terminated in connection with our payment of all
amounts outstanding thereunder on July 30, 2010.
On
August 12, 2010, we effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse stock
split, every ten shares of our common stock were converted into one share of our common stock. Any fractional shares received as a
result of the reverse stock split were redeemed for cash. The total cash payment in lieu of shares was $230. Immediately after the
reverse stock split, we had 2,680,842 shares of our common stock outstanding.
78
In
January 2011, we registered for public resale of the 986,842 shares of our common stock issued to Saratoga Investment Advisors
and certain of its affiliates.

Notes mature on August 31, 2025 and commencing August 28, 2021, may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time

Critical
Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
We have identified investment valuation, revenue recognition and the recognition of capital gains incentive fee expense as our most critical
accounting estimates. We continuously evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates
are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion
of our critical accounting policies follows.
Investment
Valuation
The Company accounts for its investments at fair
value in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements
for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that its investments are to be sold or its liabilities are to be transferred
at the balance sheet date in the principal market to independent market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, in the
most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or
most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.
81
Investments for which market quotations are readily
available are fair valued at such market quotations obtained from independent third-party pricing services and market makers subject to
any decision by our board of directors to approve a fair value determination to reflect significant events affecting the value of these
investments. We value investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as approved, in good faith, by our
board of directors based on input from Saratoga Investment Advisors, the audit committee of our board of directors and a third party independent
valuation firm. We use multiple techniques for determining fair value based on the nature of the investment and experience with those
types of investments and specific portfolio companies. The selections of the valuation techniques and the inputs and assumptions used
within those techniques often require subjective judgements and estimates. These techniques include market comparables, discounted cash
flows and enterprise value waterfalls. Fair value is best expressed as a range of values from which the Company determines a single best
estimate. The types of inputs and assumptions that may be considered in determining the range of values of our investments include the
nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis and
volatility in future interest rates, call and put features, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly
traded companies, discounted cash flows and other relevant factors.
We undertake a multi-step valuation process each
quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:
●
Each investment is initially valued by the responsible investment professionals of Saratoga Investment Advisors and preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management; and
●
An independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors independently reviews a selection of these preliminary valuations each quarter so that the valuation of each investment for which market quotes are not readily available is reviewed by the independent valuation firm at least once each fiscal year. We use a third-party independent valuation firm to value our investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO and the Class F-R-3 Notes tranche of the Saratoga CLO every quarter.
In addition, all our investments are subject to
the following valuation process:
●
The audit committee of our board of directors reviews and approves each preliminary valuation and Saratoga Investment Advisors and an independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee; and
●
Our board of directors discusses the valuations and approves the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of Saratoga Investment Advisors, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Our investment in Saratoga CLO is carried at
fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flows that utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical
experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and market comparables for equity
interests in collateralized loan obligation funds similar to Saratoga CLO, when available, as determined by Saratoga Investment Advisors
and recommended to our board of directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash flows, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for
the valuation of our investment in Saratoga CLO. The cash flows use a set of inputs including projected default rates, recovery rates,
reinvestment rate and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated valuations. The inputs are based on available market data and projections
provided by third parties as well as management estimates. We use the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to
perform a discounted cash flow analysis on expected future cash flows to determine a valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO.
82
Revenue
Recognition
Income
Recognition
Interest
income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts
are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on its investments when it is determined that interest is no longer
collectible. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective investment using
the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and
amortization of premiums on investments.
Loans
are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest
is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized
as a reduction in principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual
status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may
make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Payment-in-Kind
Interest
The
Company holds debt and preferred equity investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision.
The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity,
is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing PIK interest if
we do not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due.
Revenues
We
generate revenue in the form of interest income and capital gains on the debt investments that we hold and capital gains, if any, on
equity interests that we may acquire. We expect our debt investments, whether in the form of leveraged loans or mezzanine debt, to have
terms of up to ten years, and to bear interest at either a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt will be payable generally either
quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, our debt or preferred equity investments may provide for a portion or all of the interest
to be PIK. To the extent interest is PIK, it will be payable through the increase of the principal amount of the obligation by the amount
of interest due on the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of such obligation. The principal amount of the debt and any accrued
but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination,
structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance or investment management services and possibly consulting fees.
Any such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned. We may also invest in preferred equity or
common equity securities that pay dividends on a current basis.
On
January 22, 2008, we entered into a collateral management agreement with Saratoga CLO, pursuant to which we act as its collateral manager.
The Saratoga CLO was initially refinanced in October 2013 with its reinvestment period extended to October 2016. On November 15, 2016,
we completed a second refinancing of the Saratoga CLO with its reinvestment period extended to October 2018.
On
December 14, 2018, we completed a third refinancing and upsize of the Saratoga CLO. The third Saratoga CLO refinancing, among other things,
extended its reinvestment period to January 2021, and extended its legal maturity date to January 2030. A non-call period of January
2020 was also added. Following this refinancing, the Saratoga CLO portfolio increased from approximately $300.0 million in aggregate
principal amount to approximately $500.0 million of predominantly senior secured first lien term loans. In addition to refinancing its
liabilities, we invested an additional $13.8 million in all of the newly issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO and also purchased
$2.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-2 and $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class G-R-2 notes
tranches at par, with a coupon of LIBOR plus 8.75% and LIBOR plus 10.00%, respectively. As part of this refinancing, we also redeemed
our existing $4.5 million aggregate amount of the Class F notes tranche at par.
83
On
February 26, 2021, the Company completed the fourth refinancing of the Saratoga CLO. This refinancing, among other things, extended the
Saratoga CLO reinvestment period to April 2024, and extended its legal maturity to April 2033. A non-call period ending February
2022 was also added. In addition, and as part of the refinancing, the Saratoga CLO has also been upsized from $500 million in assets
to approximately $650 million. As part of this refinancing and upsizing, the Company invested an additional $14.0 million in
all of the newly issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO, and purchased $17.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-3 Notes
tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing $2.5 million of Class F-R-2 Notes, $7.5 million of Class G-R-2 Notes and $25.0 million
CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Loan were repaid. The Company also paid $2.6 million of transaction costs related to the refinancing
and upsizing on behalf of the Saratoga CLO, to be reimbursed from future equity distributions. As of May 31, 2021, there remained
an outstanding receivable of $2.6 million for such transaction costs which is presented as due from affiliate on the Company’s
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
The
Saratoga CLO remains effectively 100% owned and managed by Saratoga Investment Corp. We receive a base management fee of 0.10% per annum
and a subordinated management fee of 0.40% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga CLO’s assets, paid quarterly
to the extent of available proceeds. Prior to the second refinancing and the issuance of the 2013-1 Amended CLO Notes, we received a
base management fee of 0.25% per annum and a subordinated management fee of 0.25% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga
CLO’s assets, paid quarterly to the extent of available proceeds.
Following
the third refinancing and the issuance of the 2013-1 Reset CLO Notes on December 14, 2018, we are no longer entitled to an incentive
management fee equal to 20.0% of excess cash flow to the extent the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes receive an internal rate of return
paid in cash equal to or greater than 12.0%.
Interest
income on our investment in Saratoga CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic
325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (“ASC 325-40”), based on the anticipated
yield and the estimated cash flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are revised when there are changes in actual or
estimated cash flows due to changes in prepayments and/or re-investments, credit losses or asset pricing. Changes in estimated yield
are recognized as an adjustment to the estimated yield over the remaining life of the investment from the date the estimated yield was
changed.
Expenses
Our
primary operating expenses include the payment of investment advisory and management fees, professional fees, directors and officers
insurance, fees paid to independent directors and administrator expenses, including our allocable portion of our administrator’s
overhead. Our investment advisory and management fees compensate our Manager for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing
and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:
● organization;
● calculating
our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
● expenses
incurred by our Manager payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, in monitoring our financial and legal
affairs and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
● expenses
incurred by our Manager payable for travel and due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
● interest
payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;
● offerings
of our common stock and other securities;
● investment
advisory and management fees;
● fees
payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;
84
● transfer
agent and custodial fees;
● federal
and state registration fees;
● all
costs of registration and listing our common stock on any securities exchange;
● federal,
state and local taxes;
● independent
directors’ fees and expenses;
● costs
of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by governmental bodies (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) and the SBA);
● costs
of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to common stockholders including printing costs;
● our
fidelity bond, directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
● direct
costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent
auditors and outside legal costs; and
● administration
fees and all other expenses incurred by us or, if applicable, the administrator in connection with administering our business (including
payments under the Administration Agreement based upon our allocable portion of the administrator’s overhead in performing its
obligations under an Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective
staffs (including travel expenses)).
Pursuant
to the investment advisory and management agreement that we had with GSCP (NJ), L.P., our former investment adviser and administrator,
we had agreed to pay GSCP (NJ), L.P. as investment adviser a quarterly base management fee of 1.75% of the average value of our total
assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed
fiscal quarters and an incentive fee.
The
incentive fee had two parts:
● A
fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 20.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the
value of the net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, that exceeded a 1.875% quarterly hurdle rate measured as of
the end of each fiscal quarter. Under this provision, in any fiscal quarter, our former investment adviser received no incentive fee
unless our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeded the hurdle rate of 1.875%. Amounts received as a return of capital were not
included in calculating this portion of the incentive fee. Since the hurdle rate was based on net assets, a return of less than the hurdle
rate on total assets could still have resulted in an incentive fee.
● A
fee, payable at the end of each fiscal year, equal to 20.0% of our net realized capital gains, if any, computed net of all realized capital
losses and unrealized capital depreciation, in each case on a cumulative basis on each investment in the Company’s portfolio, less
the aggregate amount of capital gains incentive fees paid to our former investment adviser through such date.
We
deferred cash payment of any incentive fee otherwise earned by our former investment adviser if, during the then most recent four full
fiscal quarters ending on or prior to the date such payment was to be made, the sum of (a) our aggregate distributions to our stockholders
and (b) our change in net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities) (before taking into account any incentive fees payable during
that period) was less than 7.5% of our net assets at the beginning of such period. These calculations were appropriately pro-rated for
the first three fiscal quarters of operation and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable period. Such incentive
fee would become payable on the next date on which such test had been satisfied for the most recent four full fiscal quarters or upon
certain terminations of the investment advisory and management agreement. We commenced deferring cash payment of incentive fees during
the quarterly period ended August 31, 2007 and continued to defer such payments through the quarterly period ended May 31, 2010. As of
July 30, 2010, the date on which GSCP (NJ), L.P. ceased to be our investment adviser and administrator, we owed GSCP (NJ), L.P. $2.9
million in fees for services previously provided to us; of which $0.3 million has been paid by us. GSCP (NJ), L.P. agreed to waive payment
by us of the remaining $2.6 million in connection with the consummation of the stock purchase transaction with Saratoga Investment Advisors
and certain of its affiliates described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
85
The
terms of the investment advisory and management agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors, our current investment adviser, are substantially
similar to the terms of the investment advisory and management agreement we had entered into with GSCP (NJ), L.P., our former investment
adviser, except for the following material distinctions in the fee terms:
● The
capital gains portion of the incentive fee was reset with respect to gains and losses from May 31, 2010, and therefore losses and gains
incurred prior to such time will not be taken into account when calculating the capital gains fee payable to Saratoga Investment Advisors
and, as a result, Saratoga Investment Advisors will be entitled to 20.0% of net gains that arise after May 31, 2010. In addition, the
cost basis for computing realized gains and losses on investments held by us as of May 31, 2010 equal the fair value of such investment
as of such date. Under the investment advisory and management agreement with our former investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P., the capital
gains fee was calculated from March 21, 2007, and the gains were substantially outweighed by losses.
● Under
the “catch up” provision, 100.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive
fee net investment income that exceeds 1.875% but is less than or equal to 2.344% in any fiscal quarter is payable to Saratoga Investment
Advisors. This will enable Saratoga Investment Advisors to receive 20.0% of all net investment income as such amount approaches 2.344%
in any quarter, and Saratoga Investment Advisors will receive 20.0% of any additional net investment income. Under the investment advisory
and management agreement with our former investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P. only received 20.0% of the excess net investment income
over 1.875%.
● We
will no longer have deferral rights regarding incentive fees in the event that the distributions to stockholders and change in net assets
is less than 7.5% for the preceding four fiscal quarters.
Capital
Gains Incentive Fee
The
Company records an expense accrual relating to the capital gains incentive fee payable by the Company to its Manager when the unrealized
gains on its investments exceed all realized capital losses on its investments given the fact that a capital gains incentive fee would
be owed to the Manager if the Company were to liquidate its investment portfolio at such time. The actual incentive fee payable to the
Company’s Manager related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year and will include
only realized capital gains for the period.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional
expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform
if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management does not believe this
optional guidance has a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

At
May 31, 2021, our investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO, a collateralized loan obligation fund, had a fair value of $35.5
million and constituted 5.2% of our portfolio. This investment constitutes a first loss position in a portfolio that, as of May 31, 2021
and February 28, 2021, was composed of $685.6 million and $603.7 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of primarily
senior secured first lien term loans. In addition, as of May 31, 2021, we also own $17.9 million in aggregate principal of the F-R-3
Notes in the Saratoga CLO, that only rank senior to the subordinated notes.
This
investment is subject to unique risks. (See “Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our investment in Saratoga CLO constitutes a leveraged
investment in a portfolio of predominantly senior secured first lien term loans and is subject to additional risks and volatility”
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021).
We
do not consolidate the Saratoga CLO portfolio in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the metrics below do not include
the underlying Saratoga CLO portfolio investments. However, at May 31, 2021, $667.0 million or 98.9% of the Saratoga CLO portfolio
investments in terms of market value had a CMR (as defined below) color rating of green or yellow and one Saratoga CLO portfolio investments
were in default with a fair value of $0.002 million. At February 28, 2021, $584.6 million or 98.7% of the Saratoga CLO portfolio
investments in terms of market value had a CMR (as defined below) color rating of green or yellow and four Saratoga CLO portfolio investments
were in default with a fair value of $0.8 million. For more information relating to the Saratoga CLO, see the audited financial statements
for Saratoga in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.
Saratoga
Investment Advisors normally grades all of our investments using a credit and monitoring rating system (“CMR”). The CMR consists
of a single component: a color rating. The color rating is based on several criteria, including financial and operating strength, probability
of default, and restructuring risk. The color ratings are characterized as follows: (Green)—performing credit; (Yellow)—underperforming
credit; (Red)—in principal payment default and/or expected loss of principal.

For
the three months ended May 31, 2021, total investment income increased $3.5 million, or 26.5% to $16.8 million from $13.3 million
for the three months ended May 31, 2020. Interest income from investments increased $1.5 million, or 12.6%, to $13.7 million for the
three months ended May 31, 2021 from $12.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2020. This reflects the impact of the increase
of $195.0 million, or 40.3% in total investments at May 31, 2021 from $482.9 million at May 31, 2020, offset by (i) the reduction in
LIBOR during this same period and (ii) the increase in equity positions that are not interest-bearing. At May 31, 2021, the weighted
average current yield on investments was 8.6%, down from 9.6% at May 31, 2020, which offset some of the impact resulting from the
increased investments.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, total PIK income was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Management
fee income reflects the fee income received for managing the Saratoga CLO. For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020,
total management fee income was $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, with the increase reflecting the upsizing of the CLO last
quarter and greater management fees being earned on the increased assets under management in the CLO.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, total structuring and advisory fee income was $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
