(1) Securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are restricted securities. Money market funds are valued at net asset value and are considered level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy.
(a) Represents an investment that is not a “qualifying asset” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act”). As of February 28, 2025, non-qualifying assets represent 4.0% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value.

(b) Percentages are based on net assets of $392,665,468 as of February 28, 2025.
(c) Because there is no “readily available market quotations” (as defined in the 1940 Act) for these investments, the fair values of these investments were determined using significant unobservable inputs and approved in good faith by our board of directors. These investments have been included as Level 3 in the Fair Value Hierarchy (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
(d) These securities are either fully or partially pledged as collateral under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
August 31, 2025
(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 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
the 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. 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”).
The Company has established wholly owned subsidiaries,
SIA-AAP, Inc., SIA-ARC, Inc., SIA-Avionte, Inc., SIA-AX, Inc., SIA-G4, Inc., SIA-GH, Inc., SIA-MDP, Inc., SIA-PP Inc., SIA-SIQ, Inc.,
SIA-SZ, Inc., SIA-TG, Inc., SIA-TT, Inc. and SIA-Vector, Inc., which are structured as Delaware entities that are treated as corporations
for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to facilitate its compliance with the requirements to be treated as a RIC under
the Code by holding equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies, or LLCs (or other
forms of pass through entities). These entities are consolidated for accounting purposes but are not consolidated for U.S. federal income
tax purposes and may incur U.S. federal income tax expenses as a result of their ownership of portfolio companies.
Our wholly owned subsidiaries, Saratoga Investment
Corp. SBIC II LP (“SBIC II LP”) and Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC III LP (“SBIC III LP”, and together with SBIC
II LP, the “SBIC Subsidiaries”), received licenses to operate as small business investment companies from the SBA on August
14, 2019 and September 29, 2022, respectively. Each of the SBIC Subsidiaries provides up to $ 175.0 million in long-term capital in the
form of debentures guaranteed by the SBA. Our wholly owned subsidiary Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC LP (“SBIC LP”) repaid
its outstanding debentures and subsequently surrendered its license to the SBA on January 3, 2024, providing the Company access to all
undistributed capital of SBIC LP, and SBIC LP subsequently merged with and into the Company. Under current SBIC regulations, for two
or more SBICs under common control, the maximum amount of outstanding SBA debentures cannot exceed $ 350.0 million with at least $ 175.0
million in combined regulatory capital.
The Company has formed wholly owned special purpose
entities organized as Delaware limited liability companies, Saratoga Investment Funding II LLC (“SIF II”) and Saratoga Investment
Funding III LLC (“SIF III”) for the purpose of the Encina Credit Facility and the Live Oak Credit Facility (each as defined
below), respectively. The senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Encina Credit Facility) with Encina Lender Finance, LLC
(“Encina”) is supported by loans held by SIF II and pledged to Encina, and the senior secured revolving credit facility (the
“Live Oak Credit Facility”) with Live Oak Banking Company (“Live Oak”) is supported by loans held by SIF III
and pledged to Live Oak.
On October 26, 2021, the Company and TJHA JV
I LLC (“TJHA”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement to co-manage Saratoga Senior Loan Fund I JV LLC (“SLF
JV”). SLF JV is under joint control and is not consolidated. SLF JV is invested in Saratoga Investment Corp Senior Loan Fund 2022-1
Ltd. (“SLF 2022”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SLF JV. SLF 2022 was formed for the purpose of making investments
in a diversified portfolio of broadly syndicated first lien and second lien term loans or bonds in the primary and secondary markets.
On October 28, 2022, SLF 2022 issued $ 402.1 million of debt (the “2022 JV CLO Notes”) through a collateralized loan obligation
trust (the “JV CLO trust”). The 2022 JV CLO Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated October 28, 2022 (the “JV
Indenture”), with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) (the
“Trustee”) serving as the trustee.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”),
are stated in U.S. Dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned special purpose financing subsidiaries, SIF II,
SIF III, SBIC II LP, SBIC III LP, SIA-AAP, Inc., SIA-ARC, Inc., SIA-Avionte, Inc., SIA-AX, Inc., SIA-G4, Inc., SIA-GH, Inc., SIA-MDP,
Inc., SIA-PP, Inc., SIA-SIQ, Inc., SIA-SZ, Inc., SIA-TG, Inc., SIA-TT Inc., and SIA-Vector, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the “Company,” “we,” and “us” herein
include Saratoga Investment Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise.
The Company, SIF II, SIF III, SBIC II LP, and
SBIC III LP are all considered to be investment companies for financial reporting purposes and have applied the guidance in the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment
Companies (“ASC 946”). There have been no changes to the Company, SIF II, SIF III, SBIC II LP, or SBIC III LP’s
status as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 during the three months ended August 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
Under the investment company rules and regulations
pursuant to ASC 946, the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or controlled operating
company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. As a result, the consolidated financial statements of the
Company include only the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has determined that SLF JV is an
investment company under ASC 946; however, in accordance with such guidance the Company will generally not consolidate its investment
in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary. SLF JV is not a wholly owned investment company subsidiary as the
Company and TJHA each have an equal 50 % voting interest in SLF JV and thus neither party has a controlling financial interest. Furthermore,
FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), concludes that in a joint venture where both members have equal decision-making
authority, it is not appropriate for one member to consolidate the joint venture since neither has control. Accordingly, the Company
does not consolidate its investment in SLF JV.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income, gains
(losses) and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Operating Segment
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment
Reporting , the Company operates through two separate operating segments, with one primary core business segment and one non-core
segment, assessed as immaterial by management, resulting in only one reportable segment. The Company’s primary core segment invests
in various industries and separately evaluates the performance of each of its investment relationships. However, because each of these
investment relationships have similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single reportable segment.
The Company’s management and independent Board of Directors are the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”). The Company
and the CODM evaluate and monitor performance of the business on an aggregated basis. Further, each investment is evaluated and managed
using similar processes and shared operations support functions such as deal origination, underwriting, loan and compliance administration
in addition to administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. As the Company’s operations
comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The CODM uses our consolidated net investment income and net
increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to assess the
Company’s performance and when allocating resources. Net investment income is comprised of total investment income (“segment
revenues”), and total expenses (“total segment expenses”) and operating expenses (“segment operating
expenses”), which are considered the key segment measures of profit or loss received by the CODM. The expense categories included
in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations are fully reflective of the significant expense categories and amounts that
are regularly provided to the CODM. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, operating expenses as defined by the CODM excluding
interest expense, totaled $ 9.2 million and $ 11.7 million, respectively, and for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled
$ 18.9 million and $ 23.1 million, respectively.
28
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term,
liquid investments in a money market fund. The Company places its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances may be
in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. 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 investment company, such as a money
market fund, if such investment would cause the Company to:
● own more than 3.0 % of the investment company’s total outstanding voting stock;
● hold securities in the investment company having an aggregate value in excess of 5.0 % of the value of the Company’s total assets; or
● hold securities in investment companies having an aggregate value in excess of 10.0 % of the value of the Company’s total assets.
As of August 31, 2025, 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, and, at times,
such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits, representing payments received on secured
investments or other reserved amounts associated with the Encina Credit Facility or the Live Oak Credit Facility held by the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiaries, SIF II and SIF III, respectively. 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 Encina Credit Facility and the Live Oak Credit Facility.
In addition, cash and cash equivalents, reserve
accounts also include amounts held in designated bank accounts, in the form of cash and short-term liquid investments in money market
funds, within the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, SBIC II LP and SBIC III LP.
The statements of cash flows explain the change
during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents
when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts.
The following table provides a reconciliation
of cash and cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents, reserve accounts reported within the consolidated statements of assets and
liabilities that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments in accordance
with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “control investments” are defined as investments in companies
in which the Company owns more than 25.0 % of the voting securities or maintains 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 the Company owns
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.
29
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 the Company’s board of directors to approve a fair value determination to reflect significant events affecting
the value of these investments. The Company values investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as
approved, in good faith, by the Company’s board of directors based on input from the Manager, the audit committee of the 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 the Company’s 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. The Company uses a third-party independent valuation firm to value
its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga Investment Corp. CLO 2013-1, Ltd. (“Saratoga CLO”), the Class F-2-R-3
Notes of the Saratoga CLO, and the Class E Notes of the SLF 2022 every quarter.
In addition, all investments are subject to the
following valuation process:
●
the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors reviews and approves each preliminary valuation and the Manager
and independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the
audit committee; and
●
the Company’s board of directors discusses the valuations and approves the fair value of each investment, in good faith,
based on the input of the Manager, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the board of
directors.
The Company uses 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 the Company’s investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral,
the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis and volatility in future interest rates, call and
put features, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows
and other relevant factors.
The Company’s investments in the subordinated
notes of Saratoga CLO, Class F-2-R-3 Notes of the Saratoga CLO and the Class E Notes of SLF 2022 are 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, when available, as determined by the Manager and recommended to the Company’s board of
directors. Specifically, the Company uses Intex cash flows, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of its
investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO, Class F-2-R-3 Notes of the Saratoga CLO and the Class E Notes of SLF 2022. 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.
30
The Company’s equity investment in SLF
JV is measured using the proportionate share of the net asset value (“NAV”), or equivalent, of SLF JV as a practical expedient
for fair value, provided by ASC 820. The Company’s unsecured loan investment in SLF JV is based on a discounted cash flow valuation
technique.
The Company’s investments in CLO BB and
CLO BBB debt have been valued using recent actual market trades or an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the independent
pricing service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes from dealers
with two sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued. As the independent pricing
service contemplates real-time market data and no unobservable inputs or significant judgment has been used by the Manager in the valuation
of the Company’s investments in CLO BB and CLO BBB debt, such positions are considered level II assets.
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 NAV could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of its investments
were materially higher or lower than the values that the Company ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments.
Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”)
establishes a regulatory framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits boards of
directors, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate the investment adviser to perform fair value determinations.
Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for
determining whether a fund must determine the fair value of a security. Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 31a-4”) provides
for certain recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. While the Company’s board of directors has not
elected to designate Saratoga Investment Advisors as the valuation designee, the Company has established policies and procedures in compliance
with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.
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 management may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral
value and is in the process of collection. At August 31, 2025 our investment in one portfolio company was on non-accrual status
with a fair value of approximately $ 1.8 million, or 0.2 % of the fair value of our portfolio. At February 28, 2025, our investments
in two portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with a fair value of approximately $ 2.6 million, or 0.3 % of the fair value of our
portfolio.
Interest income on our investment in the subordinated
note of Saratoga CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 325-40, Investments—Other,
Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets , 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.
31
Payment-in-Kind Interest
The Company may hold 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 an 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. The Company restores to accrual status when past due principal and interest
is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although management may make exceptions to this general rule
if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations when earned.
Structuring and Advisory Fee Income
Structuring and advisory fee income represents
various fee income earned and received for performing certain investment structuring and advisory activities during the closing of new
investments.
Other Income
Other income includes prepayment income fees,
and monitoring, administration, redemption and amendment fees and is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations when earned.
Deferred Debt Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with our
credit facility and notes are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective facility and debt
securities. Financing costs incurred in connection with the SBA debentures of SBIC II LP and SBIC III LP are deferred and amortized using
the straight-line method over the life of the debentures. Any discount or premium on the issuance of any debt is accreted and amortized
using the effective interest method over the life of the respective debt security.
The Company presents deferred debt financing
costs on the balance sheet as a contra-liability, which is 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.
32
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 generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax 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 Corporate Blockers (as defined below) and
long-term capital gains, when applicable.
In order to qualify as a RIC, among other requirements,
the Company generally 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 U.S. federal income tax imposed at corporate rates on
its investment company taxable income and net capital gains that it does not timely distribute to shareholders. The Company will be subject
to a non-deductible 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 U.S. federal income tax, and possibly the 4 % 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. For the years ended February 28, 2025, February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, the excise tax accrual
on estimated excess taxable income was $ 2.4 million, $ 1.8 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively.
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 % 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 % 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.
The Company may utilize wholly owned holding
companies that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes when making equity investments in portfolio companies
taxed as pass-through entities to meet its source-of-income requirements as a RIC (“Corporate Blockers”). Corporate Blockers
are consolidated in the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial statements and may result in current and deferred U.S. 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 Corporate 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 Corporate 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 Corporate 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, 2025, February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 the Company did not
incur any interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. The 2022, 2023,
2024 and 2025 federal tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the IRS. At August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, 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.
33
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 to the Manager, as recorded 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, as 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 reflect those realized capital
gains net of realized and unrealized losses for the period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements
to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires additional disaggregated information on income taxes paid.
This amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, however the Company
has not elected to early adopt this provision as of the date of the financial statements contained in this report. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of
Income Statement Expenses , which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response
to requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disaggregation of certain
expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The new guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within the annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027. Early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures and does not believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements
or its disclosures.
Risk Management
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company
manages a variety of risks, including market 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.
34
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. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ). Consistent with our valuation policy, the Company evaluates
the source of inputs, including any markets in which its 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, third party bid or net asset value in deriving a value, a significant increase (decrease) in the market quote, bid or net asset
value in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

For loans and debt securities for which market
quotations are not readily available, the Company determines 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, the Company determines 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 the Company’s judgment, the market comparables technique is not sufficient
or appropriate, the Company may use additional techniques such as an asset liquidation or expected recovery model.
For equity securities of portfolio companies and partnership interests,
the Company determines the fair value using an enterprise value waterfall valuation technique. Under the enterprise value waterfall valuation
technique, the Company determines the enterprise fair value of the portfolio company and then waterfalls 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, the Company weighs 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, black-scholes modeling, 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, the Company may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio
company’s assets and liabilities. The Company also takes into account historical and anticipated financial results.
For CLO BB and CLO BBB debt, the Company determines
the fair value by using recent actual market trades or an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the independent pricing
service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes from dealers with two
sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued.
The Company’s investments in Saratoga CLO
and SLF 2022 are 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 and SLF 2022, when available,
as determined by the Manager and recommended to the Company’s board of directors. Specifically, the Company uses Intex cash flows,
or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of the investment in Saratoga CLO and SLF 2022. 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 ran Intex models based on inputs about the refinanced Saratoga CLO’s structure and the SLF 2022 structure, including
capital structure, cost of liabilities and reinvestment period. 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 a valuation for our investments in
Saratoga CLO and SLF 2022 at August 31, 2025. The inputs at August 31, 2025 for the valuation model include:
● Default rate: 2.0%
●
Recovery rate: 70%
●
Discount rate: 8.0%–70.0%
●
Prepayment rate: 20.0%
●
Reinvestment rate / price: S+365bps / $99.00
The Company’s equity investment in SLF
JV is measured using the proportionate share of the NAV of SLF JV, or equivalent, as practical expedient.

Note 4. Investment in 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 and November 2016 with its reinvestment period extended to October 2016 and October 2018, respectively.
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, which,
among other things, extended its reinvestment period to January 2021, and extended its legal maturity date to January 2030 , and added
a non-call period of January 2020. 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.
On February 11, 2020, the Company entered into
an unsecured loan agreement (“CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Loan”) with Saratoga Investment Corp. CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2, Ltd. (“CLO
2013-1 Warehouse 2”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Saratoga CLO, which was fully repaid. During the fourth quarter ended February
28, 2021, the CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Ltd. was repaid in full.
On February 26, 2021, the Company completed the
fourth refinancing of the Saratoga CLO, which, among other things, extended the Saratoga CLO reinvestment period to April 2024, extended
its legal maturity to April 2033, and added a non-call period of February 2022. In addition, and as part of the refinancing, the Saratoga
CLO was 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 with the fourth refinancing of the Saratoga CLO, 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.
On August 9, 2021, the Company exchanged its
existing $ 17.9 million Class F-R-3 Note 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.
On June 10, 2024, the Company completed its fifth
refinancing of the Saratoga CLO, which adjusted the interest rate of two of the existing Notes. Saratoga CLO issued $ 422.5 million notes
(the “2013-1 2024 Reset CLO Notes”), consisting of Class A-1-R-4 and Class A-2-R-4. The 2013-1 2024 Reset CLO Notes were
issued pursuant to the indenture with the same trustee. Proceeds of the issuance of the 2013-1 2024 Reset CLO Notes were used along with
existing assets of the Saratoga CLO to redeem the existing Class A-1-R-3 and Class A-2-R-3 Notes. No other Notes were refinanced as part
of this refinancing. The Saratoga CLO paid $ 0.5 million of transaction costs related to the refinancing.
The Saratoga CLO remains effectively 100 % owned
and managed by the Company. The Company receives 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, the Company is 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 %.
40
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company accrued management fee income of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, and interest income of $ 0.0
million and $ 0.0 million, respectively, from the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company accrued management fee income of $ 1.4 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively, and interest income of $ 0.0
million and $ 0.0 million, respectively, from the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO.
As of August 31, 2025, 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 $ 0.1 million and $ 1.3 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 August 31, 2025, Saratoga CLO had investments with a principal balance
of $ 462.9 million and a weighted average spread over SOFR of 3.6 % and had debt with a principal balance of $ 474.9
million with a weighted average spread over SOFR of 2.4 %. 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 August 31, 2025, the present value of the projected future cash
flows of the subordinated notes was approximately $ 0.1 million, using a 70 % discount rate. The Company’s
total investment in the subordinate notes of Saratoga CLO is $ 57.8 million, which consists of additional 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 received distributions of $ 92.2
million, management fees of $39.6 million and incentive fees of $ 1.2 million.
As of February 28, 2025, the Company determined
that the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO was $ 0.2 million. As of February 28, 2025, the fair value
of its investment in the Class F-R-3 Notes of Saratoga CLO was $ 2.3 million. As of February 28, 2025, Saratoga CLO had investments with
a principal balance of $ 527.1 million and a weighted average spread over SOFR of 3.7 % and had debt with a principal balance of $ 524.2
million with a weighted average spread over SOFR of 2.3 %. As of February 28, 2025, the present value of the projected future cash flows
of the subordinated notes, was approximately $ 0.2 million, using a 40 % discount rate. The Company’s total investment in the subordinate
notes of Saratoga CLO is $ 57.8 which consists of additional 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 $ 91.7 million, management fees of $ 38.3 million
and incentive fees of $ 1.2 million.

The Company and TJHA have equal voting interest
on all material decisions with respect to SLF JV, including those involving its investment portfolio, and equal control of corporate
governance. No management fee is charged to SLF JV as control and management of SLF JV is shared equally.
The Company and TJHA have committed to provide up to a combined $ 50.0
million of financing to SLF JV through cash contributions, with the Company providing $ 43.75 million and TJHA providing $ 6.25 million,
resulting in an 87.5 % and 12.5 % ownership between the two parties. The financing is issued in the form of an unsecured loan and equity.
The unsecured loan pays a fixed-rate of 10 % per annum and is due and payable in full on October 20, 2033. As of August 31, 2025, the Company
and TJHA’s investment in SLF JV consisted of an unsecured loan of $ 17.6 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively; and membership interest
of $ 17.6 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2025, the Company and TJHA’s investment in SLF JV consisted
of an unsecured loan of $ 17.6 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively; and membership interest of $ 17.6 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively.
As of August 31, 2025, and February 28, 2025, the Company’s investment in the unsecured note of SLF JV had a fair value of $ 16.8
million and $ 16.5 million, respectively, and the Company’s investment in the membership interests of SLF JV had a fair value of
$ 2.9 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively.
The Company has determined that SLF JV is an
investment company under ASC 946; however, in accordance with such guidance the Company will generally not consolidate its investment
in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary. SLF JV is not a wholly owned investment company subsidiary as the
Company and TJHA each have an equal 50 % voting interest in SLF JV and thus neither party has a controlling financial interest. Furthermore,
ASC 810 concludes that in a joint venture where both members have equal decision-making authority, it is not appropriate for one member
to consolidate the joint venture since neither has control. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate SLF JV.
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company earned $ 0.4 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, of interest income related to SLF JV, which is included
in interest income. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company earned $ 0.9 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively,
of interest income related to SLF JV, which is included in interest income. As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, $ 0.2 million
and $ 0.2 million, respectively, of interest income related to SLF JV was included in interest receivable on the Statements of Assets
and Liabilities.
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company earned $ 0.9 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively, of dividend related to SLF JV, which is included in
dividend income on control investments. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company earned $ 1.3 million
and $ 2.2 million, respectively, of dividend related to SLF JV, which is included in dividend income on control investments. As of August
31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, $ 0.0 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively, of dividend income related to SLF JV was included in dividend
receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
SLF JV’s initial investment in SLF 2022
was in the form of an unsecured loan. The unsecured loan paid a floating rate of LIBOR plus 7.00 % per annum and was paid in full on June
9, 2023. The unsecured loan was repaid in full on October 28, 2022, as part of the CLO closing.

Note 6. Income Taxes
SIA-AAP, Inc., SIA-ARC, Inc., SIA-Avionte, Inc.,
SIA-AX, Inc., SIA-G4, Inc., SIA-GH, Inc.,, SIA-MDP, Inc., SIA-PP Inc., SIA-SIQ, Inc., SIA-SZ, Inc., SIA-TG, Inc., SIA-TT Inc., and SIA-Vector,
Inc. each 100 % owned by the Company, are each filing standalone C Corporation tax returns for U.S. federal and state tax purposes. As
separately regarded entities for tax purposes, these entities are subject to U.S. federal income tax at 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 Corporate 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 August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025 were as follows:

As of August 31, 2025, the valuation allowance
on deferred tax assets was $ 1.8 million, which represents the federal and state tax effect of net operating losses and unrealized losses
that the Company does not believe will be realized 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 August 31, 2025 includes
($ 0.4 ) million deferred tax expense (benefit) on net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, $ 0.0 million income
tax provision/benefit from realized gain/(loss) 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 three months ended August 31, 2024 includes $ 0.2 million deferred
tax expense (benefit) on net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, and $ 0.0 million income tax provision/benefit
from realized gain/(loss) on investments and $ 0.12 million net change in total operating expense, in the consolidated statement of operations,
respectively.
Net income tax expense for the six months ended August 31, 2025 includes
($ 0.4 ) million deferred tax expense (benefit) on net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, and $ 0.0 million
income tax provision/benefit from realized gain/(loss) on investments and $ 0.04 million net change in total operating expense in the consolidated
statement of operations, respectively. Net income tax expense for the six months ended August 31, 2024 includes $ 0.6 million deferred
tax expense (benefit) on net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, and $ 0.0 million income tax provision/benefit

Note 7. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory and Management Agreement
On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into the
Management Agreement with the 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 the Company’s board of directors and/or the Company’s stockholders. Most
recently, on July 7, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional
one-year term. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager implements the Company’s business strategy on a day-to-day basis
and performs certain services for the Company, subject to oversight by the board of directors. The 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, the Company pays the 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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
The incentive management fee consists of the
following two parts:
The first, payable quarterly in arrears, equals
20 % of the Company’s 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, the Manager receives no incentive fee unless
our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.875%. The Manager will receive 100% 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% 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 the Company’s
“incentive fee capital gains,” which equals the Company’s 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 the 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.
85
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 4.4 million and $ 4.8 million in base management fees, respectively. For the three months ended
August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 2.3 million and $ 4.6 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee
net investment income, respectively. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company accrued an expense (benefit)
of ($0.8) million and ($ 0.0 ) million in incentive fees related to capital gains.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 8.7 million and $ 9.7 million in base management fees, respectively. For the six months ended August
31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 4.8 million and $ 8.1 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment
income, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company accrued an expense (benefit) of ($ 0.3 )
million and ($ 0.0 ) million in incentive fees related to capital gains.
The accrual is calculated using both realized
and unrealized capital gains for the period. The actual incentive fee related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears
at the end of the fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains for the period. As of August 31, 2025, the base management
fees accrual was $ 4.4 million and the incentive fees accrual was $ 2.3 million and is included in base management and incentive fees payable
in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of February 28, 2025, the base management fees accrual was
$ 4.2 million and the incentive fees accrual was $ 2.0 million and are 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 the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager, as the
Company’s administrator, has agreed to furnish the Company with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct
day-to-day operations and provide managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those portfolio companies to which the Company
is 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 the Company’s board of directors and/or the Company’s stockholders
Since its inception the amount of expenses payable or reimbursable by the Company under the Administration Agreement has been subject
to a cap that is reviewed annually in connection with the renewal of the Administration Agreement. Most recently, on July 7, 2025, the
Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term, and subsequently
also determined to increase the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company from $ 5.0 million to $ 5.4 million, effective
August 1, 2025. The Company’s board of directors will continue to assess the cap on payment or reimbursement of expenses on an
annual basis.
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company recognized $ 1.3 million and $ 1.1 million in administrator expenses, respectively, pertaining to bookkeeping,
recordkeeping and other administrative services provided to the Company in addition to the Company’s allocable portion of rent
and other overhead related expenses.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company recognized $ 2.5 million and $ 2.2 million in administrator expenses, respectively, pertaining to bookkeeping,
recordkeeping and other administrative services provided to the Company in addition to the Company’s allocable portion of rent
and other overhead related expenses.
As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025,
$ 0.6 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively, of administrator expenses were accrued and included in due to the Manager in the accompanying
consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Company recognized management fee income of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, related to the Saratoga CLO.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company
recognized management fee income of $ 1.4 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively, related to the Saratoga CLO.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, the Company neither bought nor sold any investments from the Saratoga CLO.
86
SLF JV
See Note 5. Investment in SLF JV for more

Note 8. Borrowings
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 board of directors, including a majority of our directors who are not “interested persons”
(as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act”) of the Company (“independent directors”), approved a minimum asset
coverage ratio of 150 %, which 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 166.6 %
as of August 31, 2025 and 162.9 % as of February 28, 2025.
Encina Credit Facility
On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into
the Credit and Security Agreement (the “Encina Credit Agreement”) relating to a $ 50.0 million senior secured revolving credit
facility with Encina, supported by loans held by SIF II and pledged to the Encina Credit Facility. The terms of the Encina Credit Facility
required a minimum drawn amount of $ 12.5 million at all times during the first six months following the closing date, which increased
to the greater of $ 25.0 million or 50 % of the commitment amount in effect at any time thereafter. Advances under the Encina Credit Facility
originally bore 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 Encina and the Company of a replacement benchmark rate.
On January 27, 2023, we entered into the first
amendment to the Encina Credit Agreement to, among other things:
● increased the borrowings available under the Encina Credit Facility from up to $50.0 million to up to $65.0 million;
●
changed the underlying benchmark used to compute interest under the Encina Credit Agreement from LIBOR to Term SOFR for a one-month
tenor plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment;
●
increased the applicable effective margin rate on borrowings from 4.00% to 4.25%;
●
extended the revolving period from October 4, 2024 to January 27, 2026;
●
extended the period during which the borrower may request one or more increases in the borrowings available under the Encina Credit
Facility (each such increase, a “Facility Increase”) from October 4, 2023 to January 27, 2025, and increased the maximum
borrowings available pursuant to the Encina Facility Increase from $75.0 million to $150.0 million;
●
revised the eligibility criteria for eligible collateral loans to exclude certain industries in which an obligor or related guarantor
may be involved; and
●
amended the provisions permitting the borrower to request an extension in the Commitment Termination Date (as defined in the
Encina Credit Agreement) to allow requests to extend any applicable Commitment Termination Date, rather than a one-time request to
extend the original Commitment Termination Date, subject to a notice requirement.
87
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 August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025,
there were $ 32.5 million and $ 32.5 million outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit Facility. During the applicable periods, the
Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and requirements under the Encina Credit Agreement. Financing costs of $ 2.0 million
related to the Encina Credit Facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the facility, with all existing
financing costs amortized through January 27, 2026 from the date of the amendment and extension.
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 0.8 million and $ 0.8 million of interest expense related to the Encina Credit Facility, respectively, which
includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 0.1 million
and $ 0.1 million of deferred financing costs related to the Encina 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 August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Encina
Credit Facility was 8.9 % and 9.9 %, respectively, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit Facility
was $ 32.5 million and $ 32.5 million, respectively.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 1.6 million and $ 1.7 million of interest expense related to the Encina Credit Facility, respectively, which
includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 0.2 million
and $ 0.2 million of deferred financing costs related to the Encina 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
six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Encina
Credit Facility was 8.9 % and 9.9 %, respectively, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit Facility
was $ 32.5 million and $ 33.6 million, respectively
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. 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 SOFR rate, plus an applicable effective margin of 4.25%. 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 $ 78.4 million
subject to the Encina Credit Facility cap of $ 65.0 million at August 31, 2025. 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 August 31, 2025 borrowing base relies upon the valuations set forth in the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 2025. 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.
Live Oak Credit Facility
On March 27, 2024, the Company and its wholly
owned special purpose subsidiary, SIF III, entered into a credit and security agreement (the “Live Oak Credit Agreement”),
by and among SIF III, as borrower, the Company, as collateral manager and equity holder, the lenders from time to time parties thereto,
Live Oak, as administrative agent and collateral agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as custodian, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National
Association, as collateral administrator, relating to Live Oak Credit Facility.
The Live Oak Credit Facility originally provided
for borrowings in U.S. dollars in an aggregate amount of up to $ 50.0 million. During the first two years following the closing date,
SIF III may request one or more increases in the commitment amount from $ 50.0 million to an amount not to exceed $ 150.0 million,
subject to certain terms and conditions and a customary fee. The terms of the Live Oak Credit Agreement required a minimum drawn amount
of $ 12.5 million at all times during the period ended March 27, 2025 and, thereafter, the greater of: (i) $ 25.0 million and
(ii) 50 % of the facility amount in effect at such time. The Live Oak Credit Facility matures on March 27, 2027. Advances are available
during the term of the Live Oak Credit Facility and must be repaid in full at maturity. SIF III may request an extension of the maturity
date by an additional one year, subject to the agreement of the lenders and an extension fee.
88
On June 14, 2024, the Company entered into the
first amendment to the Live Oak Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things:
● increased the borrowings available under the Live Oak Credit Facility from up to $ 50.0 million to up to $ 75.0 million, subject to a borrowing base requirement;
●
replaced administrative agent approval with “Required Lender” (as defined in the Live Oak Credit Agreement) approval
with respect to certain matters;
● replaced Required Lender approval with 100 % lender approval with respect to certain matters; and
●
added new lenders (as identified in the Amendment) to the Live Oak Credit Agreement;
●
changed the definition of Required Lender to require the approval of at least two unaffiliated lenders.
Advances under the Live Oak Credit Facility are
subject to a borrowing base calculation, and the Live Oak Credit Facility has various eligibility criteria for loans to be included in
the borrowing base. Advances under the Live Oak Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR
plus an applicable margin between 3.50 % and 4.25 % based on the Live Oak Credit Facility’s utilization. The Live Oak Credit
Agreement also provides for an unused fee of 0.50 % on the unused commitments. SIF III’s obligations to the lenders under the
Live Oak Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of SIF III’s assets. In addition,
SIF III’s obligations to the lenders under the Live Oak Credit Facility are secured by a pledge by the Company of its equity interests
in SIF III, which is evidenced by the equity pledge agreement, dated as of March 27, 2024, by and between the Company, as pledgor, and
Live Oak, as collateral agent for the benefit of the secured parties.
In connection with the Live Oak Credit Agreement,
the Company entered into a loan sale and contribution agreement with SIF III, dated as of March 27, 2024, by and between the Company,
as seller, and SIF III, as purchaser, pursuant to which the Company will sell or contribute certain loans held by the Company to SIF
III to be used to support the borrowing base under the Live Oak Credit Facility. The Live Oak Credit Facility permits loan proceeds and
excess cash in SIF III’s collection accounts to be distributed to us at any time based on three business days advance notice, subject
to compliance with various conditions, including the absence of a default or event of default, the absence of an over-advance against
the borrowing base and the absence of a violation of the financial covenant.
As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025,
there were $ 37.5 million and $ 20.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit Facility. During the applicable period,
the Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and requirements under the Live Oak Credit Agreement.
For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we
recorded $ 0.9 million and $ 0.5 million of interest expense related to the Live Oak Credit Facility, respectively, which includes commitment
and administrative agent fees. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million
of deferred financing costs related to the Live Oak Credit Facility. 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 August 31,
2025 and August 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit Facility was 8.5 %
and 9.6 % respectively, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit Facility was $ 37.5 million and
$ 19.0 million, respectively.
For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and
August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 1.6 million and $ 0.8 million of interest expense related to the Live Oak Credit Facility, respectively,
which includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we recorded $ 0.2
million and $ 0.1 million of deferred financing costs related to the Live Oak Credit Facility. Interest expense and amortization of deferred
financing costs are reported as interest and debt financing expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the six months
ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit
Facility was 8.5 % and 9.5 % respectively, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit Facility was
$ 37.5 million and $ 16.0 million, respectively.
Our borrowing base under the Live Oak Credit Facility was $ 77.3 million

SBA Debentures
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries,
SBIC II LP and SBIC III LP, received SBIC licenses from the SBA on August 14, 2019 and September 29, 2022, respectively. Each of the
SBIC Subsidiaries provide up to $ 175.0 million in long-term capital in the form of debentures guaranteed by the SBA. The Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary, SBIC LP, repaid its outstanding debentures and subsequently surrendered its license to the SBA on January 3,
2024, providing the Company access to all undistributed capital of SBIC LP, and SBIC LP subsequently merged with and into the Company.
Under current SBIC regulations, for two or more SBICs under common control, the maximum amount of outstanding SBA debentures cannot exceed
$ 350.0 million.
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 $ 24.0 million and have average annual fully taxed net income not exceeding $ 8.0 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 net worth not exceeding $ 6.0 million and has an 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.
The SBIC Subsidiaries are able to borrow funds
from the SBA against each SBIC’s regulatory capital (which generally approximates equity capital in the respective SBIC). The SBIC
Subsidiaries are subject to customary regulatory requirements including but not limited to, a periodic examination by the SBA and requirements
to maintain certain minimum financial ratios and other covenants. Receipt of an SBIC license does not assure that the SBIC Subsidiaries
will receive SBA-guaranteed debenture funding, which is dependent upon the SBIC Subsidiaries complying with SBA regulations and policies.
The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to each SBIC Subsidiary’s assets over the Company’s stockholders and debtholders
in the event that the Company liquidates such SBIC Subsidiary or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued
by the SBIC Subsidiary upon an event of default.
The Company received exemptive relief from the
SEC to permit it to exclude the debentures guaranteed by the SBA of the SBIC Subsidiaries from the definition of senior securities in
the asset coverage test under the 1940 Act. This allows the Company increased flexibility under the asset coverage requirement by permitting
it to borrow up to $ 350.0 million more than it would otherwise be able to absent the receipt of this exemptive relief.
As of August 31, 2025, we have funded SBIC II
LP and SBIC III LP with an aggregate total of equity capital of $ 87.5 million and $ 87.5 million, respectively, and have $ 170.0 million
in SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding, of which $ 131.0 million was held by SBIC II LP and $ 39.0 million held in SBIC III LP.
As noted above, as of August 31, 2025, there was $ 170.0 million of
SBA debentures outstanding and as of February 28, 2025, there was $ 170.0 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 $ 6.0 million, and $ 0.4 million
related to the SBA debentures issued by SBIC II LP and SBIC III LP, respectively, have been capitalized and are being amortized over the
term of the commitment and drawdown.

August 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 1.3 million and $ 1.8 million of interest expense related to the SBA debentures, respectively.

Note 10. Directors Fees
The independent directors of the Company’s board of directors
each receive an annual fee of $ 90,000 . They also receive $ 3,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with attending each board meeting and receive $ 2,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
attending each committee meeting. In addition, the chairman of the audit committee receives an annual fee of $ 15,000 and the chairman
of each other committee receives an annual fee of $ 8,000 for their additional services in these capacities. In addition, we have purchased
directors and officers liability insurance on behalf of our directors and officers. Independent directors have the option to receive
their directors fees in the form of our common stock issued at a price per share equal to the greater of NAV or the market price at the
time of payment. No compensation is paid to directors who are “interested persons” of the Company (as defined in Section 2(a)(19)
of the 1940 Act). For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million for
directors fees and expenses, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 0.3 million
and $ 0.2 million for directors fees and expenses, respectively. As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, $ 0.0 million and $ 0.0
million in directors fees and expenses were accrued and unpaid, respectively. As of August 31, 2025, the Company had not issued any common
stock to our directors as compensation for their services.
Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchases
On September 24, 2014, the Company announced
the approval of an open market share repurchase plan that originally allowed it to repurchase up to 200,000 shares of its common stock
at prices below its NAV as reported in its then most recently published consolidated financial statements (the “Share Repurchase
Plan”). Since September 24, 2014, the Share Repurchase Plan has been extended annually, and the Company has periodically increased
the amount of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the Share Repurchase Plan, most recently to 1.7 million shares of common
stock. On January 7, 2025, the Company’s board of directors extended the Share Repurchase Plan for another year to January 15,
2026. As of August 31, 2025, the Company had purchased 1,035,203 shares of common stock, at an average price of $ 22.05 for approximately
$ 22.8 million pursuant to the Share Repurchase Plan. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, the Company did not purchase
any shares of common stock pursuant to the Share Repurchase Plan.
Public Equity Offering
On July 13, 2018, the Company issued 1,150,000
shares of its common stock priced at $ 25.00 per share (par value $ 0.001 per share) at an aggregate total of $ 28.75 million. The net proceeds,
after deducting underwriting commissions of $ 1.15 million and offering costs of approximately $ 0.2 million, amounted to approximately
$ 27.4 million. The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 172,500 shares of its common
stock, which was not exercised.
Equity ATM Program
On March 16, 2017, the Company entered into an
equity distribution agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”), through which the Company offered for
sale, from time to time, up to $ 30.0 million of the Company’s common stock through an ATM offering. Subsequent to this, BB&T
Capital Markets and B. Riley FBR, Inc. were also added to the agreement. On July 11, 2019, the amount of the common stock to be offered
was increased to $ 70.0 million, and on October 8, 2019, the amount of the common stock to be offered was increased to $ 130.0 million.
This agreement was terminated as of July 29, 2021, and as of that date, the Company had sold 3,922,018 shares for gross proceeds of $ 97.1
million at an average price of $ 24.77 for aggregate net proceeds of $ 95.9 million (net of transaction costs).
On July 30, 2021, the Company entered into an
equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Ladenburg and Compass Point Research and Trading,
LLC (“Compass Point”), through which the Company may offer for sale, from time to time, up to $ 150.0 million of the Company’s
common stock through the Agents (as defined below), or to them, as principal for their account (the “ATM Program”).
On July 6, 2023, the Company amended the Equity
Distribution Agreement to increase the maximum amount of shares of our common stock to be sold through the ATM Program to $ 300.0 million
from $ 150.0 million. On July 19, 2023, the Company amended the Equity Distribution Agreement to add an additional distribution agent,
Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”). On May 15, 2024, the Company amended the Equity Distribution Agreement
to add an additional distribution agent, Lucid Capital Markets, LLC (“Lucid” and together with Ladenburg, Compass Point,
and Raymond James, the “Agents”). The sales price per share of the Company’s common stock offered under the ATM Program,
less the Agents’ commission, will not be less than the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of such sale.
Consistent with the terms of the ATM Program, the Manager may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, contribute proceeds necessary
to ensure that no sales are made at a price below the then-current NAV per share.
As of August 31, 2025, the Company sold 8,532,953
shares for gross proceeds of $ 225.7 million at an average price of $ 26.37 for aggregate net proceeds of $ 224.0 million (net of transaction
costs). During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company sold 443,406 shares for gross proceeds of $ 11.4 million at an average
price of $ 25.61 for aggregate net proceeds of $ 11.4 million (net of transaction costs). During the six months ended August 31, 2025,
the Company sold 688,237 shares for gross proceeds of $ 17.8 million at an average price of $ 25.86 for aggregate net proceeds of $ 17.8
million (net of transaction costs).

Note 12. Earnings Per Share
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC
Topic 260, Earnings per Share , 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 (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per share for the three and
six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts):

* Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
(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 decrease in NAV 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 less than NAV 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 NAV 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 NAV of the Company due to the repurchase of common shares. See Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity.
107
(4) Represents the dilutive effect of issuing common stock below NAV 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 13. Dividend.
(5) Ratios are not annualized.
(6) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares at the current market value on the first day and a sale at the current market value on the last day of the periods reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the DRIP. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions.
(7) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares at the current NAV 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 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, except for income taxes
(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 Facilities, SBA Debentures, 8.75% Notes Payable 2025, 7.00% Notes Payable 2025, 7.75% Notes Payable 2025, 4.375% Notes Payable 2026, 4.35% Notes Payable 2027 and 6.25% Notes Payable 2027 are not registered for public trading.
(13) On July 14, 2022, the Company redeemed $43.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the $43.1 million in aggregate principal amount of issued and outstanding 7.25% 2025 Notes and are no longer listed on the NYSE.
(14) The Manager agreed to reimburse the Company to the extent the per share price of the shares to the public, less underwriting fees, was less than net asset value per share.
Note 15. Subsequent Events
On September 24, 2025, the Company completed the
first refinancing of the Saratoga Investment Corp. Senior Loan Fund 2022-1, Ltd. This refinancing, among other things, extended the Saratoga
CLO investment period to October 2028. As part of this refinancing, the Company purchased $ 10.0 million of the SLF 2022-1 Class E Notes
tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing $ 12.25 million of the SLF 2022-1 Class E Notes were repaid. The Company also paid $ 1.6 million
of additional equity investment related to the refinancing to Saratoga Senior Loan Fund I JV LLC.
On September 11, 2025, the Company declared the
following dividends for the quarter ended November 30, 2025. Shareholders have the option to receive payment of the dividend in cash,
or receive shares of common stock, pursuant to the DRIP.

OVERVIEW
We are a Maryland corporation that has elected
to be regulated 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 our net assets. We have elected and qualified to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
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.
Our wholly owned subsidiaries, Saratoga Investment
Corp. SBIC II LP (“SBIC II LP”) and Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC III LP (“SBIC III LP”, and together with SBIC
II LP, the “SBIC Subsidiaries”), received SBIC licenses from the SBA on August 14, 2019 and September 29, 2022, respectively.
Each of the SBIC Subsidiaries provides up to $175.0 million in long-term capital in the form of debentures guaranteed by the SBA. With
all debentures repaid to the SBA, SBIC LP’s (“SBIC LP”) license was surrendered on January 3, 2024, providing the Company
access to all undistributed capital of SBIC LP, and SBIC LP subsequently merged with and into the Company. Under current SBIC regulations,
for two or more SBICs under common control, the maximum amount of outstanding SBA debentures cannot exceed $350.0 million with at least
$175.0 million in combined regulatory capital.
On June 10, 2024, we completed the fifth refinancing
of the Saratoga CLO. This refinancing, among other things, did not extend the Saratoga CLO reinvestment period nor extend its legal maturity,
while adjusting the interest rate of two of the existing Notes. The Issuer issued $422.5 million of notes (the “2013-1 2024 Reset
CLO Notes”), consisting of Class A-1-R-4 and Class A-2-R-4. The 2013-1 2024 Reset CLO Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture
with the same Trustee. Proceeds of the issuance of the 2013-1 2024 Reset CLO Notes were used along with existing assets of the Saratoga
CLO to redeem the existing Class A-1-R-3 and Class A-2-R-3 Notes. No other Notes were refinanced as part of this refinancing. The Saratoga
CLO paid $0.5 million of transaction costs related to the refinancing.
We have 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 senior secured revolving credit facility with Encina Lender Finance, LLC (“Encina”), supported by loans held by SIF
II and pledged to Encina 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 our and Encina’s selection of a replacement benchmark rate. Concurrently with the closing of the Encina Credit Facility, all
remaining amounts outstanding on our existing revolving credit facility with Madison Capital Funding, LLC were repaid and the facility
was terminated. On January 27, 2023, among other things, the borrowings available under the Encina Credit Facility was increased from
up to $50.0 million to up to $65.0 million, the underlying benchmark rate used to compute interest changed from LIBOR to Term SOFR for
one-month tenor plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment; the applicable effective margin rate on borrowings increased from 4.00% to 4.25%
and the maturity date was extended from October 4, 2024 to January 27, 2026.

We have formed a wholly owned special purpose
entity, Saratoga Investment Funding III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SIF III”), for the purpose of entering
into a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Live Oak Banking Company (“Live Oak”), supported by loans
held by SIF III and pledged to Live Oak under the credit facility (the “Live Oak Credit Facility). The Live Oak Credit Facility
closed on March 27, 2024. During the first two years following the closing date, SIF III may request an increase in the commitment amount
under the Live Oak Credit Facility to up to $150.0 million. The terms of the Live Oak Credit Facility required a minimum drawn amount
of $12.5 million at all times during the period ended March 27, 2025, which increased to the greater of $25.0 million or 50% of the facility
amount in effect at any time thereafter. The term of the Live Oak Credit Facility is three years. Advances under the Live Oak Credit
Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin between 3.50% and 4.25% based
on the Live Oak Credit Facility’s utilization. On June 14, 2024, the Live Oak Credit Facility was amended to, among other
things: (i) increase the borrowings available under the Live Oak Credit Facility from up to $50.0 million to up to $75.0 million, subject
to a borrowing base requirement; (ii) add new lenders to the Live Oak Credit Agreement; (iii) replace administrative agent approval with
“Required Lender” (as defined in the Live Oak Credit Agreement) approval with respect to certain matters; (iv) replace Required
Lender approval with 100% lender approval with respect to certain matters; and (v) change the definition of Required Lender to require
the approval of at least two unaffiliated lenders.
On October 26, 2021, we entered into a Limited
Liability Company Agreement with TJHA JV I LLC (“TJHA”) to co-manage Saratoga Senior Loan Fund I JV LLC (“SLF JV”).
SLF JV is invested in Saratoga Investment Corp Senior Loan Fund 2021-1 Ltd (“SLF 2021”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary
of SLF JV. SLF 2021 was formed for the purpose of making investments in a diversified portfolio of broadly syndicated first lien and
second lien term loans or bonds in the primary and secondary markets.
On September 30, 2022, SLF 2021 was renamed to
Saratoga Investment Corp Senior Loan Fund 2022-1, Ltd. (“SLF 2022”).
We and TJHA have equal voting interest on all
material decisions with respect to SLF JV, including those involving its investment portfolio, and equal control of corporate governance.
No management fee is charged to SLF JV as control and management of SLF JV is shared equally.
We and TJHA have committed to provide up to a
combined $50.0 million of financing to SLF JV through cash contributions, where we provided $43.75 million and TJHA provided $6.25 million,
resulting in an 87.5% and 12.5% ownership between the two parties. The financing is issued in the form of an unsecured note and equity.
The unsecured note will pay a fixed-rate of 10.0% per annum and is due and payable in full on October 20, 2033. As of August 31, 2025,
our and TJHA’s investment in SLF JV consisted of an unsecured note of $17.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively; and membership
interest of $17.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2025, our and TJHA’s investment in SLF JV consisted
of an unsecured note of $17.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively; and membership interest of $17.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, our investment in the unsecured note of SLF JV had a fair value of $16.8 million and $16.5
million, respectively, and our investment in the membership interests of SLF JV had a fair value of $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
SLF JV’s initial investment in SLF 2022
was in the form of an unsecured loan. The unsecured loan paid a floating rate of LIBOR plus 7.00% per annum and was paid in full on June
9, 2023. The unsecured loan was repaid in full on October 28, 2022, as part of the CLO closing.
We have determined that SLF JV is an investment
company under (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment
Companies (“ASC 946”); however, in accordance with such guidance we will generally not consolidate our investment in
a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary. SLF JV is not a wholly owned investment company subsidiary as we and
TJHA each have an equal 50% voting interest in SLF JV and thus neither party has a controlling financial interest. Furthermore, FASB
ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), concludes that in a joint venture where both members have equal decision-making
authority, it is not appropriate for one member to consolidate the joint venture since neither has control. Accordingly, we do not consolidate
SLF JV.
On October 28, 2022, SLF 2022 issued $402.1 million
of debt through the JV CLO trust. The 2022 JV CLO Notes were issued pursuant to the JV Indenture, with the Trustee. As part of the transaction,
we purchased 87.50% of the Class E Notes from SLF 2022 with a par value of $12.25 million. As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025,
the fair value of these Class E Notes were $12.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 our 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 and estimates follows.
Investment Valuation
We account for 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. Under ASC 820 we are required 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 “Manager” or “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 we determine 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
