SARATOGA INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2021
(unaudited)
Note 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, and intends to qualify annually,
to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 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-AX, Inc., SIA-GH, Inc., SIA-MAC, Inc., SIA-PEP, 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.
The Company has formed a wholly owned special
purpose entity, Saratoga Investment Funding II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SIF II”), for the purpose of entering
into a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Encina Lender Finance, LLC (the “Lender”), supported by
loans held by SIF II and pledged to the Lender under the credit facility (the “Encina Credit Facility”). The Encina Credit
Facility closed on October 4, 2021. During the first two years following the closing date, SIF II may request an increase in the commitment
amount under the Encina Credit Facility to up to $75.0 million. The terms of the Encina Credit Facility require a minimum drawn amount
of $12.5 million at all times during the first six months following the closing date, which increases to the greater of $25.0 million
or 50% of the commitment amount in effect at any time thereafter. The term of the Encina Credit Facility is three years. Advances under
the Encina Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 4.0%, with LIBOR having a floor of 0.75%, with
customary provisions related to the selection by the Lender and the Company of a replacement benchmark rate. Concurrently with the closing
of the Encina Credit Facility, all remaining amounts outstanding on the Company’s existing revolving credit facility with Madison
Capital Funding, LLC were repaid and the revolving credit facility terminated.
On October 26, 2021, the Company and TJHA
JV I LLC entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) to co-manage Saratoga Senior Loan
Fund I JV LLC (“Saratoga JV”). Saratoga JV is a joint venture that is expected to invest in the debt or equity interests
of collateralized loan obligations, loans, notes and other debt instruments.

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.
Pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, the Company may not invest in another registered investment company (including
Section 3(c)(1) and Section 3(c)(7) funds for this purpose), such as a money market fund (except as permitted under Rule 12d1-1
under the 1940 Act which is designed to permit "cash sweep" arrangements rather than investments directly in short-term
instruments), if such investment would cause the Company to exceed any of the following limitations:
● we were to own more than 3.0% of the investment company’s
total outstanding voting stock;
● we were to hold securities in the investment company having
an aggregate value in excess of 5.0% of the value of our total assets; or
● we were to hold securities in investment companies having an
aggregate value in excess of 10.0% of the value of our total assets.
As of November 30, 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 revolving credit facilities. 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 revolving credit facilities.
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.

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.
17
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 November 30, 2021, there were no investments on non-accrual status. 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.
Dividend Income
Dividends income is recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations when earned.
18
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 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 the
Encina 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 the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued to SBIC LP and SBIC II LP 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.
Realized Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Upon the repayment of debt obligations that are
deemed to be extinguishments, the difference between the principal amount due at maturity adjusted for any unamortized debt issuance
costs is recognized as a loss (i.e., the unamortized debt issuance costs are recognized as a loss upon extinguishment of the underlying
debt obligation).
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 reasonably believes 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, and intends to qualify
annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. By meeting these requirements,
the Company will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on ordinary income or capital gains timely distributed to stockholders.
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% 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% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least (1) 98% 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 investment company
taxable income earned in a tax year and the amount of net capital gains recognized in such tax year, the Company may choose to carry
forward investment company taxable income and net capital gains 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 investment company 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 U.S. Treasury regulations
and published guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), a publicly offered RIC may treat a distribution of
its own stock as counting toward its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder may elect to receive his, her, or its entire distribution
in either cash or stock of the RIC. This published guidance indicates that the rule will apply where the aggregate amount of cash to
be distributed to all stockholders is not at least 20.0% of the aggregate declared distribution. Under the published guidance, if
too many stockholders elect to receive cash, the cash available for distribution must be allocated among the stockholders electing
to receive 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.
19
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 November 30, 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 some or all of our net 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 by the Company to the Manager on the consolidated
statements of assets and liabilities when the net realized and unrealized gain on its investments exceed all net realized and unrealized
capital losses on its investments because 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 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 Company has
agreements that have LIBOR as a reference rate with certain portfolio companies and under the Encina Credit Facility. Many of these agreements
(including the credit agreements relating to the Encina Credit Facility) include an alternative successor rate or language for choosing
an alternative successor rate when LIBOR reference is no longer considered to be appropriate. With respect to other agreements, the Company
intends to work with its portfolio companies to modify agreements to choose an alternative successor rate. Contract modifications are
required to be evaluated in determining whether the modifications result in the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of
existing contracts. 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.
20
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 that 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.
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 November 30, 2021. The inputs at November
30, 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 / $99.25
Investment Concentration
Set forth is a brief description of each portfolio
company in which the fair value of our investment represents greater than 5% of our total assets as of November 30, 2021.
Hematerra Holdings Company, LLC
HemaTerra Holding Company, LLC (“HemaTerra”)
provides SaaS-based software solutions addressing complex supply chain issues across a variety of medical environments, including blood,
plasma, tissue, implants and DNA sample management, to customers in blood centers, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and law enforcement settings.
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-2-R-3 Notes of the Saratoga CLO.
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 its aggregate principal amount from
approximately $300.0 million 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. At August 31, 2021, the outstanding
receivable of $2.6 million was repaid in full.
25
On August 9, 2021, the Company exchanged its existing
$17.9 million Class F-R-3 Notes for $8.5 million Class F-1-R-3 Notes and $9.4 million Class F-2-R-3 Notes at par. On August 11, 2021,
the Company sold its Class F-1-R-3 Notes to third parties, resulting in a realized loss of $0.1 million.
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 November 30, 2021 and
November 30, 2020, we accrued management fee income of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and interest income of $1.1 million
and $1.1 million, respectively, from the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and
November 30, 2020, we accrued management fee income of $2.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and interest income of $3.5 million
and $2.4 million, respectively, from the subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO.
As of November 30, 2021, the aggregate principal
amounts of the Company’s investments in the subordinated notes and Class F-2-R-3 Notes of the Saratoga CLO was $111.0 million and $9.4
million, respectively, which had a corresponding fair value of $31.3 million and $9.4 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 November 30, 2021, Saratoga CLO had investments with a principal balance
of $683.2 million and a weighted average spread over LIBOR of 3.7% 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 November 30, 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. The Company’s total investment in the subordinate notes of
Saratoga CLO is $57.8 million, 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 $70.8 million, management fees of $27.8 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.
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.

Note 5. Income Taxes
SIA-Avionte, Inc., SIA-AX., SIA-GH Inc., SIA-MAC,
Inc., SIA-PEP 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 income tax 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 November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021 were as follows:

As of November 30, 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 income tax expense for the three
months ended November 30, 2021 includes $2.5 million deferred tax benefit on net change in unrealized appreciation on investments, $2.4
million income tax provision from realized gain on investments and $(0.04) million net change in total operating expense, in the consolidated
statement of operations, respectively. Net deferred tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended November 30, 2020 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 income tax expense for the nine months
ended November 30, 2021 includes $0.9 million deferred tax benefit on net change in unrealized appreciation on investments, $2.9 million
income tax provision from realized gain on investments and $0.02 million net change in total operating expense, in the consolidated statement
of operations, respectively. Net deferred tax (benefit) expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 includes $0.1 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.
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 from its effective date, with one-year renewals thereafter subject to certain approvals by our board of directors and/or the Company’s
stockholders. Most recently, 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 November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company incurred $2.9 million and $2.3 million in base management
fees, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company incurred $1.5 million and $1.2 million
in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and
November 30, 2020, the Company accrued an expense of $0.9 million and an expense of $1.1 million in incentive fees related to capital
gains.
For
the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company incurred $8.7 million and $6.7 million in base management
fees, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company incurred $4.8 million and $4.0 million
in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November
30, 2020, the Company accrued an expense of $4.9 million and an (benefit) of $(2.0) million in incentive fees related to capital gains.
52
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 November 30, 2021, the base management fees accrual was $3.0 million and the incentive fees accrual was $9.2 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 from its effective date, with one-year renewals
thereafter 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 November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recognized $0.8 million and $0.7 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. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recognized
$2.2 million and $1.9 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 November 30, 2021, $0.2
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, bore 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.
53
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. At August 31, 2021, the outstanding receivable
of 2.6 million was repaid in full.
On
August 9, 2021, the Company exchanged its existing $17.9 million Class F-R-3 Notes for $8.5 million Class F-1-R-3 Notes and $9.4 million
Class F-2-R-3 Notes at par. On August 11, 2021, the Company sold its Class F-1-R-3 Notes to third parties, resulting in a realized loss
of $0.1 million.
For
the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recognized management fee income of $0.8 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, related to the Saratoga CLO.
For
the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recognized management fee income of $2.4 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, related to the Saratoga CLO.
For
the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 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%
after giving effect to such leverage, or, 150% if certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met. 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
a minimum asset coverage ratio of 150%. The 150% asset coverage ratio became effective on April 16, 2019. 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 236.7% as of November 30, 2021 and 347.1% as of February 28, 2021.
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 “Madison 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 and SBIC II LP, was pledged under the Madison Credit Facility to secure our obligations thereunder.
54
On
February 24, 2012, we amended the Madison Credit Facility to, among other things:
● expand
the borrowing capacity under the Madison Credit Facility from $40.0 million to $45.0 million;

On
October 4, 2021, all outstanding amounts on the Madison Credit Facility were repaid and the Madison Credit Facility was terminated. The
repayment and termination of the Madison Credit Facility resulted in a realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million.
In
addition to any fees or other amounts payable under the terms of the Madison Credit Facility, an administrative agent fee per annum equal
to $0.1 million is payable in equal monthly installments in arrears.
On
October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Encina Lender Finance, LLC (the
“Lender”), supported by loans held by SIF II and pledged to the Lender under the credit facility. During the first two years
following the closing date, SIF II may request an increase in the commitment amount to up to $75.0 million. The terms of the Encina Credit
Facility require a minimum drawn amount of $12.5 million at all times during the first six months following the closing date, which increases
to the greater of $25.0 million or 50% of the commitment amount in effect at any time thereafter. The term of the Encina Credit Facility
is three years. Advances under the Encina Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 4.0%, with LIBOR
having a floor of 0.75%, with customary provisions related to the selection by the Lender and the Company of a replacement benchmark
rate. The commitment termination date is October 4, 2024.
In
addition to any fees or other amounts payable under the terms of the Encina Credit Facility, an administrative agent fee per annum equal
to $0.1 million is payable in equal monthly installments in arrears.
As
of November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021, there were $12.5 million and $0.0 million outstanding under the Encina Credit Facility. As
of November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Madison Credit Facility. During the applicable
periods, the Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of both facilities. Financing costs of $1.4 million
related to the Encina Credit Facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the facility.
For
the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million of interest expense related
to the Encina Credit Facility and the Madison Credit Facility, respectively, which includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For
the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $0.08 million and $0.03 million of amortization of
deferred financing costs related to the Encina Credit Facility and the Madison 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 November 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit
Facility and the Madison Credit Facility was 4.94%, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit Facility
and the Madison Credit Facility was $9.2 million.
For
the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $0.6 million and $0.3 million of interest expense related
to the Encina Credit Facility and the Madison Credit Facility, respectively, which includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For
the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.08 million of amortization of deferred
financing costs related to the Encina Credit Facility and the Madison 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 nine months ended November 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit
Facility and the Madison Credit Facility was 5.47%, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit
Facility and the Madison Credit Facility was $7.4 million.
The
Encina 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 Encina 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 Encina Credit Facility has a three-year
term. Availability on the Encina 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 0.75%,
plus an applicable margin of 4.00%. In addition, the Company will pay the lender 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 Encina Credit Facility.
Our
borrowing base under the Encina Credit Facility was $51.2 million subject to the Encina Credit Facility cap of $50.0 million at November
30, 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 November 30, 2021 borrowing base relies upon the valuations set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August
31, 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 generally approximates equity
capital in respective SBIC) and is subject to customary regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to, a periodic 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, subject to SBA approval. With this license approval, Saratoga can grow its
SBA relationship from $150.0 million to $325.0 million of committed capital.
As
of November 30, 2021, we have funded SBIC LP and SBIC II LP with an aggregate total of equity capital of $75.0 million and $87.5 million,
respectively, and have $207.0 million in SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding, of which $108.0 million is held in SBIC LP and $99.0
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.
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
enterprises’’ as defined by the SBA. A smaller enterprise 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 senior securities issued by SBIC subsidiaries from the definition
of senior securities in the asset coverage requirement applicable to the Company under the 1940 Act. This allows the Company increased
flexibility under the asset coverage requirement 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 1940 Act. The 150.0% asset coverage
ratio became effective on April 16, 2019.
As
noted above, as of November 30, 2021, there was $207.0 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 $3.7 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 November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $1.1 million and $1.3 million of interest expense related
to the SBA debentures, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 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 November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020 on the outstanding borrowings of the SBA
debentures was 2.44% and 2.97%, respectively. During the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the average dollar
amount of SBA debentures outstanding was $176.6 million and $170.3 million, respectively.
For
the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $3.4 million and $3.8 million of interest expense related
to the SBA debentures, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recorded $0.5 million and
$0.5 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 nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020 on the outstanding borrowings of the SBA debentures
was 2.66% and 4.57%, respectively. During the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the average dollar amount of
SBA debentures outstanding was $172.0 million and $165.9 million, respectively.
57
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.

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

persons” of the Company (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act). For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30,
2020, we incurred $0.07 million and $0.06 million for directors’ fees and expenses, respectively. For the nine months ended November

Trading, LLC (collectively the “Agents”), through which we may offer for sale, from time to time, up to $150.0 million of
our common stock through the Agents, or to them, as principal for their account. As of November 30, 2021, the Company sold 4,447,535
shares for gross proceeds of $112.5 million at an average price of $25.29 for aggregate net proceeds of $111.0 million (net of transaction
costs). During the three months ended November 30, 2021, the Company sold 520,076 shares for gross proceeds of $15.2 million at an average
price of $29.16 for aggregate net proceeds of $15.0 million (net of transaction cost). During the nine months ended November 30, 2021,
the Company sold 525,517 shares for gross proceeds of $15.3 million at an average price of $29.15 for aggregate net proceeds of $15.2
million (net of transaction cost).
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 reconciliation

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 and nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands except share and 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.
(5)
Ratios are not annualized.
68
(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 August 31, 2021, the Company redeemed $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 6.25% 2025 Notes and, as a result of the full redemption, the 6.25% 2025 Notes 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 November 30, 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 and nine months ended November 30, 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.
On January 4, 2022, our board of directors extended
the Shares Repurchase Plan for another year to January 15, 2023, leaving the number of shares unchanged at 1.3 million shares of common
stock.

in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.
The forward-looking statements are based on our
beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. These
beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or are
within our control. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from
those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
● our future operating results and the continued impact of
coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic thereon;
● the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business
initiatives and strategies;
● changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the
interest rate environment or financial and capital markets, which could result in changes in the value of our assets;
● pandemics or other serious public health events, such as
the outbreak of COVID-19;
● the relative and absolute investment performance and operations
of our Manager;
● the impact of increased competition;
● our ability to turn potential investment opportunities into
transactions and thereafter into completed and successful investments;
● the unfavorable resolution of any future legal proceedings;
● our business prospects and the operational and financial
performance of our portfolio companies, including our and their ability to achieve our respective objectives as a result of the current
COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to continue to effectively manage
our business;
● the impact of investments that we expect to make and future
acquisitions and divestitures;
● our contractual arrangements and relationships with third

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 intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes
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,
cancellations of events and restrictions on travel. In addition, while economic activity remains healthy and well improved from the beginning
of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to observe supply chain interruptions, labor difficulties, commodity inflation and elements of economic
and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. 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.
We have evaluated subsequent events from December
1, 2021 through January 5, 2022. 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 November 30, 2021, the analysis contained
herein may not fully account for impacts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that regard, for example, as of November 30, 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 November 30, 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 Madison 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 Madison 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.

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.

Agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. through which we may offer for sale, from time to time, up to $20.0 million in aggregate principal

stock, which was not exercised.

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

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.

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-2-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.
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.
76
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 its aggregate principal amount from approximately $300.0 million 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.
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. At August 31, 2021, the outstanding receivable of $2.6 million was
repaid in full.
On August 9, 2021, the Company exchanged its existing
$17.9 million Class F-R-3 Notes for $8.5 million Class F-1-R-3 Notes and $9.4 million Class F-2-R-3 Notes at par. On August 11, 2021,
the Company sold its Class F-1-R-3 Notes to third parties, resulting in a realized loss of $0.1 million.
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 ca
