(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.
(2) Current yield as of May 31, 2026, was approximately 3.53% on the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund.
(3) Current yield as of May 31, 2026, was approximately 3.10% on the Valley National Bank Business Money Market Fund.
(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 May 31, 2026, non-qualifying assets represent 8.8% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value. As a BDC, the Company generally has to invest at least 70% of its total assets in qualifying assets.
(b) Percentages are based on net assets of $378,454,958 as of May 31, 2026.
(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).
(e) This investment does not have a stated interest rate that is payable thereon. As a result, the 0.00% interest rate in the table above represents the effective interest rate currently earned on the investment cost and is based on the current cash interest and other income generated by the investment.
(f) As defined in the 1940 Act, this portfolio company is an “affiliate”
as we own between 5.0% and 25.0% of the outstanding voting securities. Transactions during the three months ended May 31, 2026 in which
the issuer was an affiliate are as follows:

(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.
(2) Current yield as of February 28, 2026, was approximately 3.59% on the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund.
(3) Current yield as of February 28, 2026, was approximately 3.19% on the Valley National Bank Business Money Market Fund.
(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 2026, non-qualifying assets represent 7.0% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value. As a BDC, the Company generally has to invest at least 70% of its total assets in qualifying assets.
(b) Percentages are based on net assets of $396,155,754 as of February 28, 2026.
(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).
(e) This investment does not have a stated interest rate that is payable thereon. As a result, the 0.00% interest rate in the table above represents the effective interest rate currently earned on the investment cost and is based on the current cash interest and other income generated by the investment.
(f) As defined in the 1940 Act, this portfolio company is an “affiliate”
as we own between 5.0% and 25.0% of the outstanding voting securities. Transactions during the year ended February 28, 2026 in which the
issuer was an affiliate are as follows:

SARATOGA INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2026
(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-SAIS, 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. In May 2026, legislation amending the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958 increased (a) the individual leverage limit from $ 175.0 million to $ 250.0 million, subject to SBA approvals,
and (b) the maximum leverage available for two or more SBICs under common control from $ 350.0 million to $ 475.0 million.
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 Company’s credit facilities as described in Note 8, Borrowings .
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.
25
On September 24, 2025, the Company completed
the first refinancing of SLF 2022. This refinancing, among other things, extended SLF 2022’s investment period to October 2028.
As part of this refinancing, the Company purchased $ 8.8 million of the SLF 2022-1 Class E-R Notes tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing
$ 12.3 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 of SLF JV.
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-SAIS, 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 May 31, 2026.
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.
26
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 a single reporting
segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements 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 May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, operating expenses, which exclude interest
and debt financing expenses, base management fees and incentive management fees expense (benefit), totaled $ 2.7 million and $ 2.9 million,
respectively.
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 May 31, 2026, 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 credit facilities 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 credit facilities, after which these amounts are available for general corporate purposes.
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.
27
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.
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.
28
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-R 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, the Black-Scholes model, 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-R 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-R 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.
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.
29
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 Saratoga Investment Advisors
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 May 31, 2026 our investment in one portfolio company and the
Class F-2-R-3 Notes of the Saratoga CLO were on non-accrual status with a fair value of approximately $ 0.0 million, or
0.0 % of the fair value of our portfolio. At February 28, 2026, our investment in one portfolio company and the Class F-2-R-3 Notes of
the Saratoga CLO were on non-accrual status with a fair value of approximately $ 2.0 million, or 0.2 % 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.
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 such investments 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.
30
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 facilities 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.
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 31 and (3) certain undistributed
amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.
31
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, 2026, February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, the excise tax accrual
on estimated excess taxable income was $ 1.7 million, $ 2.4 million and $ 1.8 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, subject to a limitation that the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders must
be at least 20 % of the aggregate 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 taxable income until distributed by the Corporate Blocker, which may result in timing and character differences
between the Company’s income for U.S. GAAP purposes and the Company’s income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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, 2026, February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024 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, 2025 and 2026 federal tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the IRS. At May 31, 2026, and February 28, 2026,
there were no uncertain tax positions. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.
Dividends
Dividends to common stockholders are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors. Net realized capital gains,
if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain some or all of our net capital gains for reinvestment.
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan
(“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of our dividend distributions on behalf of our stockholders unless a stockholder
elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who
have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested into
additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividends. We have the option to satisfy the share requirements
of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator.
32
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 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 annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2027. Early adoption is 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.
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 hierarchical disclosure
framework that 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.
33
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 include 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. 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 selection of the valuation
techniques and the inputs and assumptions used within those techniques often requires subjective judgments and estimates. These techniques
include market comparables, the Black-Scholes model, 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.
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.
38
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 May 31, 2026. The inputs at May 31, 2026 for the valuation model include:
● Default rate: 2.0%
●
Recovery rate: 70%
●
Discount rate: 9.00%–70.0%
●
Prepayment rate: 20.0%
●
Reinvestment rate / price:
S+365bps / $99.00

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 . 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. 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.
40
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 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.
The Saratoga CLO remains effectively 100.0 % 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 %.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May
31, 2025, the Company accrued management fee income of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, and interest income of $ 0.0 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 May 31,
2026, 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 $ 19.2 million and $ 2.7 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2026, 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 $ 19.2 million and
$ 2.7 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the Company’s investment in the unsecured note of SLF JV had
a fair value of $ 15.6 million and $ 16.1 million, respectively, and the Company’s investment in the membership interests of SLF JV
had a fair value of $ 5.0 million and $ 1.5 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.

31, 2025, the Company earned $ 0.8 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, of dividend income related to SLF JV, which is included in
dividend income on control investments. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $ 0.0 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively, of dividend
income related to SLF JV was included in dividend receivable on the consolidated 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.
On October 28, 2022, SLF 2022 issued $ 402.1 million
of the 2022 JV CLO Notes 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, the Company purchased 87.5 % of the Class E Notes from SLF 2022 with a par value of $ 12.3 million.
On September 24, 2025, the Company completed
the first refinancing of SLF 2022. This refinancing, among other things, extended the SLF 2022’s investment period to October 2028.
As part of this refinancing, the Company purchased $ 8.8 million of the SLF 2022-1 Class E-R Notes tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing
$ 12.3 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 SLF JV.
As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the
fair value of the Class E-R Notes was $ 8.3 million and $ 8.4 million, respectively.
Note 6. Income Taxes
SIA-AAP, Inc., SIA-SAIS, 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 of which is 100 % owned by the Company, and each files a standalone C corporation tax return
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 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 depreciation 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 offset by entity, as permitted. 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 allowances, as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, were as follows:

that we do not believe we will realize through future taxable income. Any adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance will
depend on estimates of future taxable income and will be made in the period such determination is made.
Net income tax benefit for the three months ended

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 6, 2026, 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.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May
31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 5.0 million and $ 4.3 million in base management fees, respectively. For the three months ended May 31,
2026 and May 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 1.9 million and $ 2.5 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment
income, respectively. For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the Company accrued an expense (benefit) of $ 0.0 million
and ($ 0.4 ) million in incentive fees related to capital gains.
The accrual is calculated using both realized
and unrealized capital gains for the period. The actual incentive fee related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears
at the end of the fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains for the period. As of May 31, 2026, the base management fees
accrual was $ 5.0 million and the incentive fees accrual was $ 1.9 million and are included in base management and incentive fees payable
in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of February 28, 2026, the base management fees accrual was
$ 4.6 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.
69
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 6, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration
Agreement for an additional one-year term, and determined to keep the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company
unchanged at $ 5.4 million, while continuing to assess whether to increase this within the foreseeable future, with any increase to be effective August 1, 2026.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May
31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 1.4 million and $ 1.3 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 May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $ 0.6 million and $ 0.6 million respectively, of administrator expenses were
accrued and included in due to Manager in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Saratoga CLO
See Note 4. Investment in Saratoga CLO for
more information regarding Saratoga CLO.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May
31, 2025, the Company recognized management fee income of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, related to the Saratoga CLO.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the Company
neither bought nor sold any investments from the Saratoga CLO.
SLF JV
See Note 5 for more information about SLF JV.
As of May 31, 2026, the Company’s investment in the SLF JV had
a fair value of $ 20.6 million, consisting of an unsecured loan of $ 15.6 million and membership interest of $ 5.0 million. For the three
months ended May 31, 2026, the Company had $ 0.6 million of interest income related to SLF JV, of which $ 0.4 million was included in interest
receivable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2026. For the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company
had $ 0.4 million of interest income related to SLF JV, of which $ 0.2 million was included in interest receivable on the consolidated statements
of assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2025.
As part of the JV CLO trust transaction, the
Company purchased 87.50 % of the Class E Notes from SLF 2022 with a principal value of $ 12.3 million and fair value of $ 12.3 million,
respectively. This was repaid as part of the refinancing of the SLF 2022 on September 24, 2025, and the Company purchased 87.5 % of the
Class E-R Notes from SLF 2022 with a principal value of $ 8.8 million and fair value of $ 8.8 million, respectively.
As of May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the fair value of the Class E-R
Notes were $ 8.3 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the fair value of the Class E
Notes were $ 0.0 million and $ 12.3 million, respectively.
70
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 162.6 %
as of May 31, 2026 and 168.4 % as of February 28, 2026.
During the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, average
total borrowings outstanding was $ 796.7 million and $ 792.8 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate was 6.13 % and
5.58 %, respectively.
Encina Credit Facility
On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into
the Credit and Security Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Encina Credit Agreement”) relating to a senior secured
revolving credit facility (the “Encina Credit Facility”) with Encina Lender Finance, LLC (“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 period through April 4, 2022, which increased to the greater of $ 25.0 million or 50 % of the commitment
amount in effect at any time thereafter. On January 27, 2023, we entered into the first amendment to the Encina Credit Agreement
which, among other things: (i) increased the borrowings available under the Encina Credit Facility from up to $50.0 million to up to
$65.0 million; (ii) 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; (iii) increased the applicable effective margin rate on borrowings from
4.00% to 4.25%; (iv) extended the revolving period from October 4, 2024 to January 27, 2026; (v) 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; (vi) revised the eligibility criteria for eligible collateral loans
to exclude certain industries in which an obligor or related guarantor may be involved; and (vii) 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.
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 was payable in equal
monthly installments in arrears. The Company paid the lender a commitment fee of 0.75 % per year (or 0.50% if the ratio of advances outstanding
to aggregate commitments was greater than or equal to 50%) on the unused amount of the Encina Credit Facility. Availability on the Encina
Credit Facility was subject to a borrowing base calculation, based on, among other things, applicable advance rates (which varied 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 could be borrowed at the greater of the prevailing one-month SOFR rate, plus an applicable
effective margin of 4.25%.
On November 6, 2025, the Company terminated in
full (i) the Encina Credit Agreement, and (ii) the Equity Pledge Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2021 (the “Encina Equity Pledge
Agreement”), by and between the Company and Encina, as collateral agent, and repaid all outstanding amounts. The Encina Credit
Agreement and the Encina Equity Pledge Agreement terminated upon the satisfaction of all obligations and liabilities of SIF II and the
Company to secured parties thereunder, including, without limitation, payments of principal and interest, other fees, breakage costs
and other amounts owing to the secured parties.
As of May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, there were
$ 0.0 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. The repayment and termination of the Encina
Credit Facility resulted in a realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $ 0.1 million.
71
For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May
31, 2025, we recorded $ 0.0 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 May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, we recorded $ 0.0 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 May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit Facility
was 0.0 % and 8.9 %, respectively, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Encina Credit Facility was $ 0.0 million
and $ 32.5 million, respectively.
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 the 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, require 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.
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.
72
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 May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, there
was $ 37.5 million and $ 37.5 million in outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit Facility, respectively. 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 May 31, 2026 and May
31, 2025, we recorded $ 0.8 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 three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, we recorded $ 0.1 million
and $ 0.1 million of deferred financing costs related to the Live Oak Credit Facility, respectively. Interest expense and amortization
of deferred financing costs are reported as interest and debt financing expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During
the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Live
Oak Credit Facility was 7.8 % and 8.5 %, respectively, and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Live Oak Credit
Facility was $ 37.5 million and $ 32.4 million, respectively.
Our borrowing base under the Live Oak Credit Facility was $ 97.7 million
subject to the Live Oak Credit Facility cap of $ 75.0 million at May 31, 2026. 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 SEC. Accordingly,
the May 31, 2026 borrowing base relies upon the valuations set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended February 28,
2026. 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.
Valley Credit Facility
On November 6, 2025, the Company entered into
a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Valley Credit Agreement”) establishing an $ 85.0 million senior secured revolving credit
facility with Valley, as administrative agent and as a lender, and certain other lenders, supported by loans held by SIF II and pledged
as collateral to secure the obligations under the Valley Credit Facility. The terms of the Valley Credit Facility require a minimum drawn
amount at all times equal to the greater of $ 25.0 million or 38 % of the facility amount in effect at such time. The Valley Credit Facility
matures on November 6, 2028. The Valley Credit Facility has numerous eligibility criteria for loans to be included in the borrowing base.
The Valley Credit Agreement also requires SIF II to pay an unused fee on the amount by which the commitment amount exceeds outstanding
principal amounts on each day at a rate per annum equal to 0.75 % if the unused amount is greater than 62 % of the commitment amount, or
otherwise 0.50 %.
In addition to any fees or other amounts payable
under the terms of the Valley Credit Facility, an administrative agent fee per annum equal to $ 35,000 is payable annually in advance.
As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, there
were $ 32.5 million and $ 32.5 million outstanding borrowings under the Valley Credit Facility, respectively. During the applicable periods,
the Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and requirements under the Valley Credit Agreement. Financing costs of $ 1.4
million related to the Valley Credit Facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the facility, with all existing
financing costs amortized through November 6, 2028.
73
For the three months ended May 31, 2026, we recorded
$ 0.6 million of interest expense related to the Valley Credit Facility, which includes commitment and administrative agent fees. For
the three months ended May 31, 2026, we recorded $ 0.1 million of deferred financing costs related to the Valley Credit Facility, including
arranger fees. Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs are reported as interest and debt financing expense on the
consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding
borrowings under the Valley Credit Facility was 6.7 % and the average dollar amount of outstanding borrowings under the Valley Credit
Facility was $ 32.5 million.
The Valley 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 Valley 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 if not cured in the prescribed
period, allowing the lenders to accelerate repayment of amounts owed thereunder. Availability on the Valley Credit Facility is subject
to a borrowing base calculation, with advance rates on eligible loans ranging from 25% to 75%. Advances under the Valley Credit Facility
bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.85 %, with a SOFR Floor of 1.00 %.
Our borrowing base under the Valley Credit Facility was $ 70.6 million
subject to the Valley Credit Facility cap of $ 85.0 million at May 31, 2026. 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 SEC. Accordingly,
the May 31, 2026 borrowing base relies upon the valuations set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February
28, 2026. The valuations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will not be incorporated into the borrowing base until after
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
SBA Debentures
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.
In May 2026, legislation amending the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 increased (a) the individual leverage limit from $ 175.0 million
to $ 250.0 million, subject to SBA approvals, and (b) the maximum leverage available for two or more SBICs under common control from $ 350.0
million to $ 475.0 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.
74
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 more than it would otherwise be able to absent the receipt of this exemptive relief.
As of May 31, 2026, 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
$ 213.0 million in SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding, of which $ 84.0 million was held by SBIC II LP and $ 129.0 million held in SBIC
III LP.
As noted above, as of May 31,
2026, there was $ 213.0 million of SBA debentures outstanding and as of February 28, 2026, there was $ 160.0 million of SBA debentures
outstanding. The carrying amount of SBA debentures outstanding approximates fair value, which is based on a waterfall analysis showing
adequate collateral coverage and would be classified as a Level 3 liability within the fair value hierarchy. Financing costs of $ 5.0
million, $ 6.0 million and $ 1.4 million related to the SBA debentures issued by SBIC LP, SBIC II LP and SBIC III LP, respectively, have
been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the commitment and drawdown. During the year ended February 28, 2026, the Company
repaid $ 10.0 million of SBA debentures in SBIC II LP, resulting in a realized loss on extinguishment of $ 0.7 million related to the acceleration
of deferred debt financing costs.
For the three months ended
May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 1.8 million and $ 1.3 million of interest expense related to the SBA debentures,
respectively. For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million of amortization
of deferred financing costs related to the SBA debentures, respectively. Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs
are reported as interest and debt financing expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average interest rate
during the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025 on the outstanding borrowings of the SBA debentures was 3.60 % and 3.04 %,

$ 203.2 million and $ 170.0 million, 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 May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, we incurred $ 0.1
million and $ 0.1 million for directors’ fees and expenses, respectively. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $ 0.0 million
and $ 0.0 million in directors’ fees and expenses were accrued and unpaid, respectively. As of May 31, 2026, 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 6, 2026, the Company’s board of directors extended the Share Repurchase Plan for another year to January 15,
2027. As of May 31, 2026, the Company purchased 1,037,698 shares of common stock, at the average price of $ 22.05 for approximately $ 22.9
million pursuant to the Share Repurchase Plan. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, 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.
During the three months ended May 31, 2026, the
Company did not sell any shares of common stock pursuant to the Equity ATM Program. As of May 31, 2026 the Company sold 8,591,915 shares
for gross proceeds of $ 227.2 million at an average price of $ 26.42 for aggregate net proceeds of $ 225.4 million (net of transaction costs).
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 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 in net assets resulting from operations per share for the three months ended May
31, 2026 and May 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts):

(1) Per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
(2) The continuous issuance of common stock may cause an incremental 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.
(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, 6.25% Notes Payable 2027, 7.25% Notes Payable 2029 and 7.25% Notes Payable 2030 are not registered for public trading.
(13) On August 31, 2021, the Company redeemed $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 6.25% 2025 Notes and, as a result of the full redemption, the 6.25% 2025 Notes are no longer listed on the NYSE.
(14) On July 14, 2022, the Company redeemed $43.1 million in aggregate principal
amount of the issued and outstanding 7.25% 2025 Notes and are no longer listed on the NYSE.
(15) On March 31, 2025, we repaid $ 20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 8.75% 2025 Notes.
(16) On July 9, 2025, we repaid $ 5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 7.75% 2025 Notes.

(18) On February 28, 2026, we repaid $ 175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 4.375% 2026 Notes.
(19) 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.

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, we may invest in private equity funds in the future. Private equity funds are not limited in how they invest their assets,
and the underlying investments held by private equity funds may impact our strategies, risks, and costs. Shareholders may have limited
information about the underlying investments of the private equity funds in which we invest, including with respect to such funds’
holdings, liquidity, and valuation We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes
as a RIC under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
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. Our
wholly owned subsidiary, SBIC LP’s (“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. In May 2026, legislation amending the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 increased (a) the individual
leverage limit from $175.0 million to $250.0 million, subject to SBA approvals, and (b) the maximum leverage available for two or more
SBICs under common control from $350.0 million to $475.0 million.
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 wholly owned special purpose entities
as Delaware limited liability companies, Saratoga Investment Funding II LLC (“SIF II”) and Saratoga Investment Funding III
LLC (“SIF III”), for the purpose of entering into senior secured revolving credit facilities, as described in “Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
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.
95
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 May 31, 2026, 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 $19.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2026, 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 $19.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, our investment in the unsecured note of SLF JV had a fair value of $15.7 million and $16.1
million, respectively, and our investment in the membership interests of SLF JV had a fair value of $5.0 million and $1.5 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 $12.3 million.
On September 24, 2025, we completed the first
refinancing of SLF 2022. This refinancing, among other things, extended SLF 2022’s investment period to October 2028. As part of
this refinancing, we purchased $8.8 million of the SLF 2022-1 Class E-R Notes tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing $12.3 million
of the SLF 2022-1 Class E Notes were repaid. We also paid $1.6 million of additional equity investment related to the refinancing of
SLF JV. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the fair value of these Class E-R Notes was $8.3 million and $8.4 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.
96
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 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, the Class F-2-R-3
Notes tranche of the Saratoga CLO, and the Class E-R Notes of SLF 2022 every quarter.
In addition, all our investments are subject to the following
valuation process:
●
the audit committee of our board of directors reviews
and approves each preliminary valuation and Saratoga Investment Advisors and an independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement
the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee; and
●
our board of directors discusses the valuations and
approves the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of Saratoga Investment Advisors, independent valuation
firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Our investment in Saratoga CLO is carried at
fair value, which is based on discounted cash flows that utilize prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical experience
and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and market comparables for equity interests
in collateralized loan obligation funds similar to Saratoga CLO, when available, as determined by Saratoga Investment Advisors and recommended
to our board of directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash flows, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of
our investment in Saratoga CLO. The cash flows use a set of inputs including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment 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. We use the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to perform
a discounted cash flow analysis on expected future cash flows to determine a valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO.

Our 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 Saratoga Investment Advisors
in the valuation of the Company’s investments in CLO BB and CLO BBB debt, such positions are considered level II assets.
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, 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 the recordkeeping
requirements associated with fair value determinations. While our board of directors has not elected to designate Saratoga Investment
Advisors as the valuation designee, we have adopted certain revisions to our valuation policies and procedures in order comply with the
applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.
Revenue Recognition
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. We stop accruing interest on our investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted/amortized
over the life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original
cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on investments.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status
when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reserved when a loan is placed
on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as a reduction in principal depending upon management’s
judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and,
in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient
collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Payment-in-Kind Interest
We hold debt and preferred equity investments
in our 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. We stop accruing PIK interest if we do not expect the issuer to be able to pay all
principal and interest when due.
Revenues
We generate revenue in the form of interest income
and capital gains on the debt investments that we hold and capital gains, if any, on equity interests that we may acquire. We expect
our debt investments, whether in the form of leveraged loans or mezzanine debt, to have terms of up to ten years, and to bear interest
at either a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt will be payable generally either quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, our
debt or preferred equity investments may provide for a portion or all of the interest to be PIK. To the extent interest is PIK, it will
be payable through the increase of the principal amount of the obligation by the amount of interest due on the then-outstanding aggregate
principal amount of such obligation. The principal amount of the debt and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at
the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring, amendment, redemption or
diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance or investment management services and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees
will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned. We may also invest in preferred equity or common equity
securities that pay dividends on a current basis.

On January 22, 2008, we entered into a collateral
management agreement with Saratoga CLO, pursuant to which we act as its collateral manager. The Saratoga CLO was initially refinanced
in October 2013 with its reinvestment period extended to October 2016. On November 15, 2016, we completed a second refinancing of the
Saratoga CLO with its reinvestment period extended to October 2018.
On December 14, 2018, we completed a third refinancing
and upsize of the Saratoga CLO. The third Saratoga CLO refinancing, among other things, extended its reinvestment period to January 2021,
and extended its legal maturity date to January 2030, and added a non-call period of January 2020. Following this refinancing, the Saratoga
CLO portfolio increased from approximately $300.0 million in aggregate principal to approximately $500.0 million of predominantly senior
secured first lien term loans. In addition to refinancing its liabilities, we invested an additional $13.8 million in all of the newly
issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO and also purchased $2.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-2 and $7.5
million aggregate principal amount of the Class G-R-2 notes tranches at par, with a coupon of 3M USD LIBOR plus 8.75% and 3M USD LIBOR
plus 10.00%, respectively. As part of this refinancing, we also redeemed our existing $4.5 million aggregate amount of the Class F notes
tranche at par and the $20.0 million CLO 2013-1 Warehouse Loan was repaid.
On February 11, 2020, we 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, pursuant to which CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 may borrow from time
to time up to $20.0 million from the Company in order to provide capital necessary to support warehouse activities. On October 23,
2020, the availability under the CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Loan was increased to $25.0 million, which was immediately fully drawn and, which
expires on August 20, 2021. The interest rate was also amended to be based on a pricing grid, starting at an annual rate of 3M USD LIBOR
+ 4.46%. During the fourth quarter ended February 28, 2021, the CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Ltd was repaid in full.
On February 26, 2021, we completed the fourth
refinancing of the Saratoga CLO. This refinancing, 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, we invested
an additional $14.0 million in all of the newly issued subordinated notes of the Saratoga CLO, and purchased $17.9 million
in aggregate principal amount of the Class F-R-3 Notes tranche at par. Concurrently, the existing $2.5 million of
Class F-R-2 Notes, $7.5 million of Class G-R-2 Notes and $25.0 million of the CLO 2013-1 Warehouse 2 Loan were repaid.
We 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, we exchanged our existing
$17.9 million Class F-R-3 Notes for $8.5 million Class F-1-R-3 Notes and $9.4 million Class F-2-R-3 Notes at par. On August 11, 2021,
we sold our Class F-1-R-3 Notes to third parties, resulting in a realized loss of $0.1 million.
On June 10, 2024, we completed our 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.
99
The Saratoga CLO remains effectively 100% owned
and managed by Saratoga Investment Corp. We receive a base management fee of 0.10% per annum and a subordinated management fee of 0.40%
per annum of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga CLO’s assets, paid quarterly to the extent of available proceeds. Prior
to the second refinancing and the issuance of the 2013-1 Amended CLO Notes, we received a base management fee of 0.25% per annum and
a subordinated management fee of 0.25% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga CLO’s assets, paid quarterly to
the extent of available proceeds.
Following the third refinancing and the issuance
of the 2013-1 Reset CLO Notes on December 14, 2018, we are no longer entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 20.0% of excess
cash flow to the extent the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes receive an internal rate of return paid in cash equal to or greater than
12.0%.
Interest income on our investment in Saratoga
CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of FASB 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.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment
of investment advisory and management fees, professional fees, directors’ and officers’ insurance, fees paid to directors
who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Company (“independent directors”)
and administrator expenses, including our allocable portion of our administrator’s overhead. Our investment advisory and management
fees compensate our Manager for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all
other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:
●
organization;
●
calculating our net asset value (“NAV”)
(including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
●
expenses incurred by our Manager payable to third parties,
including agents, consultants or other advisers, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs and in monitoring our investments
and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
●
expenses incurred by our Manager payable for travel
and due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
●
interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance
our investments;
●
offerings of our common stock and other securities;
●
investment advisory and management fees;
●
fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants
or other advisers, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;
●
transfer agent and custodial fees;
●
federal and state registration fees;
●
all costs of registration and listing our common stock
on any securities exchange;
100
●
U.S. federal, state and
local taxes;
●
independent directors’
fees and expenses;
●
costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents
required by governmental bodies (including the SEC and the SBA);
●
costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices
to common stockholders including printing costs;
●
our fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’
errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
●
direct costs and expenses of administration, including
printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs; and
●
administration fees and all other expenses incurred
by us or, if applicable, the administrator in connection with administering our business (including payments under the Administration
Agreement based upon our allocable portion of the administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under an Administration
Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective staffs (including travel expenses)).
The terms of the investment advisory and management
agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors, our current investment adviser, are substantially similar to the terms of the investment
advisory and management agreement we had entered into with GSCP (NJ), L.P., our former investment adviser, except for the following material
distinctions in the fee terms:
●
The capital gains portion of the incentive fee was
reset with respect to gains and losses from May 31, 2010, and therefore losses and gains incurred prior to such time will not be
taken into account when calculating the capital gains fee payable to Saratoga Investment Advisors and, as a result, Saratoga Investment
Advisors will be entitled to 20.0% of net gains that arise after May 31, 2010. In addition, the cost basis for computing realized
gains and losses on investments held by us as of May 31, 2010 equal the fair value of such investment as of such date. Under the
investment advisory and management agreement with our former investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P., the capital gains fee was calculated
from March 21, 2007, and the gains were substantially outweighed by losses.
●
Under the “catch up” provision, 100.0%
of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income that
exceeds 1.875% but is less than or equal to 2.344% in any fiscal quarter is payable to Saratoga Investment Advisors. This will enable
Saratoga Investment Advisors to receive 20.0% of all net investment income as such amount approaches 2.344% in any quarter, and Saratoga
Investment Advisors will receive 20.0% of any additional net investment income. Under the investment advisory and management agreement
with our former investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P. only received 20.0% of the excess net investment income over 1.875%.
●
We will no longer have deferral rights regarding incentive
fees in the event that the distributions to stockholders and change in net assets is less than 7.5% for the preceding four fiscal
quarters.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee
We record an expense accrual relating to the
capital gains incentive fee payable by us to the Manager when the unrealized gains on its investments exceed all realized capital losses
on its investments given the fact that a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the Manager if we were to liquidate our 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 will include only realized capital gains for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures and do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or our
disclosures.
