NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019
(unaudited)

NOTE 1. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Interim consolidated financial statements of Oxford Square Capital Corp. (“OXSQ” and, together with its subsidiary, the “Company”), are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal accruals, considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period included herein. The current period’s consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the year. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTE 2. ORGANIZATION

OXSQ was incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland on July 21, 2003, and is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for 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 maximize its total return, by investing primarily in corporate debt securities and collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) structured finance investments that own corporate debt securities.

The Company’s investment activities are managed by Oxford Square Management, LLC (“Oxford Square Management”). Oxford Square Management is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Oxford Square Management is owned by Oxford Funds, LLC (“Oxford Funds”), its managing member and a related party, Charles M. Royce, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) who holds a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management. Under the investment advisory agreement with Oxford Square Management (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Company has agreed to pay Oxford Square Management an annual base management fee based on its gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on its performance. For further details please refer to “Note 7. Related Party Transactions.”

The Company’s consolidated operations include the activities of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oxford Square Funding 2018, LLC (“OXSQ Funding”) for the periods during which it was held. OXSQ Funding, a special purpose vehicle, was formed for the purpose of entering into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A. Refer to “Note 6. Borrowings” for additional information on the Company’s borrowings.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, OXSQ Funding. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. Certain prior period figures have been reclassified from those originally published in quarterly and annual reports to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes.

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based upon experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material.

CONSOLIDATION

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946-810, Consolidation, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company consolidates OXSQ Funding in its financial statements in accordance with ASC 946-810.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are included on the Company’s consolidated schedule of investments. Cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Restricted cash represents the cash held by the trustee of OXSQ Funding. The amount is held by the trustee for payment of interest expense and operating expenses of the entity, principal repayments on borrowings, or new investments, based upon the terms of the respective indenture, and are not available for general corporate purposes. There was approximately $2.3 million and $3.2 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

The Company measures its investment portfolio at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Estimates made in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. The Company believes that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments the Company makes.

ASC 820-10 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company considers the attributes of current market conditions on an on-going basis and has determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, all of OXSQ’s investments are based upon “Level 3” inputs as of June 30, 2019.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Board determines the value of its investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of Oxford Square Management’s portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. The Company may engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although the Board ultimately determines the appropriate valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments.

Syndicated Loans

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company’s valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the marketplace from which the Company obtains indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of its syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC 820-10. During such periods of illiquidity, when the Company believes that the non-binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated loan investments that we own may not be determinative of their fair value, or when no market indicative quote is available, the Company may engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments that OXSQ owns. In addition, Oxford Square Management analyzes each syndicated loan by reviewing the portfolio company’s financial statements, covenant compliance and recent trading activity in the security, if known, and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non-binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Valuation Committee to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available, in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis provided by third-party valuation firms, if any. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — Debt and Equity

The Company holds a number of debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and CLO warehouse investments. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, the Company considers the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. The Company also considers those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on or before the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. In addition, the Company considers the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. Oxford Square Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third-party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Bilateral Investments (Including Equity)

Bilateral investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third-party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of OXSQ’s bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, (i) have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter, and (ii) have a value as of the current quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the current quarter, after taking into account any repayment of principal during the current quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third-party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted in (i) and (ii) above, the frequency of those third-party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade 1, at least annually; Grade 2, at least semi-annually; Grades 3, 4, and 5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters in (i) and (ii) above are not required to have a third-party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by Oxford Square Management. Oxford Square Management also retains the authority to seek, on the Company’s behalf, additional third-party valuations with respect to the Company’s bilateral portfolio securities, syndicated loan investments, and CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of market discounts and/or original issue discount (“OID”) and amortization of market premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s judgment, is likely to remain current. As of June 30, 2019 and as of December 31, 2018, the Company had no debt investments that were on non-accrual status.

Interest income also includes a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision on certain investments in the Company’s portfolio. Refer to the section below, “Payment-In-Kind,” for a description of the PIK provision and its impact on interest income.

Payment-In-Kind

The Company has debt and preferred equity investments in its portfolio which contain a contractual PIK provision. Certain PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or additional securities. PIK interest and preferred equity dividends are computed at the contractual rate and are accrued into income and recorded as interest and dividend income, respectively. The PIK amounts are added to the principal balance on the capitalization date. Upon capitalization, the PIK component is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. At the point the Company believes PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status once it becomes probable that PIK will be realized.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Income from Securitization Vehicles and Investments

Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, based upon an effective yield to the expected redemption utilizing estimated cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Company monitors the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the consolidated statement of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Company during the period.

Other Income

Other income includes prepayment, amendment, and other fees earned by the Company’s loan investments, distributions from fee letters and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral manager’s fees, and are recorded as other income when earned. The Company may also earn success fees associated with its investments in certain securitization vehicles or CLO warehouse facilities, which are contingent upon a repayment of the warehouse by a permanent CLO securitization structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the repayment is completed.

DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Deferred debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the straight line method over the terms of the respective credit facilities and debt securities. The amortized expenses are included in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The unamortized deferred debt issuance costs are included on the Company’s statement of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Upon early termination or partial principal pay down of debt, or a credit facility, the unamortized costs related to such debt are accelerated into realized losses on extinguishment of debt on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

EQUITY OFFERING COSTS

Equity offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and public offer and sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged as a reduction to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration is no longer active.

SHARE REPURCHASES

From time to time, the Board may authorize a share repurchase program under which shares are purchased in open market transactions. Since the Company is incorporated in the State of Maryland, state law requires share repurchases to be accounted for as a share retirement. The cost of repurchased shares is charged against capital on the settlement date.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of specific identification. Distributions received on CLO equity investments which were optionally redeemed are first applied to the remaining cost basis until it is reduced to zero, after which distributions are

23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

recorded as realized gains. An optional redemption feature of a CLO allows a majority of the holders of the equity securities issued by the CLO issuer, after the end of a specified non-call period, to cause the redemption of the secured notes issued by the CLO with proceeds of either the liquidation of the CLO’s assets or through a refinancing with new debt. The optional redemption is effectively a voluntary prepayment of the secured debt issued by the CLO prior to the stated maturity of such debt.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income annually, meet diversification requirements quarterly and file Form 1120-RIC, as defined by the Code.

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Through June 30, 2019, management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Company’s 2019 tax returns. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S Federal and Connecticut State; however, the Company is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. For tax purposes, the cost basis of the portfolio investments at June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was approximately $533.1 million and $502.7 million, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”) which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has assessed these changes and does not believe they will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The following tables provide quantitative information about the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company’s valuation policy, as described above, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as the methodologies and inputs that the Company uses in determining fair value. If the Valuation Committee or Oxford Square Management determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken. The tables, therefore, are not all-inclusive, but provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs that are pertinent to the Company’s fair value measurements. The weighted average calculations in the table below are based on principal balances for all debt related calculations and CLO equity.

(1)      Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.

(2)      The impact on the fair value measurement of an increase in each unobservable input is in isolation. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows in a discounted cash flow calculation. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. Market/EBITDA multiples refer to the input (often derived from the value of a comparable company) that is multiplied by the historic and/or expected EBITDA of a company in order to estimate the company’s value. An increase in the Market/EBITDA multiple, in isolation, net of adjustments, would result in an increase in a fair value measurement.

(3)      The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service, or broker or agent bank non-binding indicative bid prices (“NBIB”), on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for syndicated notes, and CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of valuation date. These bid prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each bid price is evaluated by the Valuation Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by Oxford Square Management, including financial performance, recent business developments, and, in the case of CLO debt and equity investments, performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee.

(4)      Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee.

(5)      The calculation of weighted average for a range of values, for a single investment within a given asset category, is not considered to provide a meaningful representation (“ncm”).

(6)      The Company will calculate the fair value of certain CLO equity investments based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle.

(7)      Discount rate represents the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to calculate a present value, reflecting market assumptions for risk.

(8)      The fair value of those CLO equity positions which have been optionally redeemed are generally valued using a liquidation net asset value basis which represents the estimated expected residual value of the CLO as of the end of the period.

(9)      For the corporate debt investments and equity investments, third-party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that the Company provides to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of the Company’s securities.

(1)      Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.

(2)      The impact on the fair value measurement of an increase in each unobservable input is in isolation. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows in a discounted cash flow calculation. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. Market/EBITDA multiples refer to the input (often derived from the value of a comparable company) that is multiplied by the historic and/or expected EBITDA of a company in order to estimate the company’s value. An increase in the Market/EBITDA multiple, in isolation, net of adjustments, would result in an increase in a fair value measurement.

NOTE 6. BORROWINGS

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150%, immediately after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 283.7% and 308.5%, respectively.

On March 23, 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was signed into law, which included various changes to regulations under the federal securities laws that impact BDCs. The SBCAA included changes to the 1940 Act to allow BDCs to decrease their asset coverage requirement to 150% from 200% under certain circumstances. On April 6, 2018, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the SBCAA. As a result, the Company’s asset coverage requirements for senior securities was changed from 200% to 150%, effective as of April 6, 2019.

The following are the Company’s outstanding principal amounts, carrying values and fair values of the Company’s borrowings as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The fair value of the 6.50% Unsecured Notes and 6.25% Unsecured Notes are based upon the closing price on the last day of the period and are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (trading symbol OXSQL and OXSQZ, respectively). The Credit Facility fair value represents the par amount of the debt obligation as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company pays Oxford Square Management a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components — a base management fee (the “Base Fee”) based on its gross assets, as described below, and an incentive fee based on its performance. The cost of both the Base Fee and any incentive fees earned by Oxford Square Management are ultimately borne by the Company’s common stockholders.

Base Management Fee

Through March 31, 2016, the Base Fee was calculated at an annual rate of 2.00%. Effective April 1, 2016, the Base Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50%. The Base Fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any equity or debt capital raises, repurchases or redemptions during the current calendar quarter (however, no Base Fee will be payable on the cash proceeds received by the Company in connection

with any share or debt issuances until such proceeds have been invested in accordance with the Company’s investment objective). Accordingly, the Base Fee will be payable regardless of whether the value of the Company’s gross assets has decreased during the quarter. The Base Fee for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated.

The following table represents the Base Fee for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively:

The Base Fee payable to Oxford Square Management as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was approximately $1.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee has two parts: the “Net Investment Income Incentive Fee” and the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”. The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the amount by which (x) the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds (y) the “Preferred Return Amount” for the current calendar quarter. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any accrued income that we have not yet received in cash and any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses accrued during the calendar quarter (including the Base Fee, expenses payable under a separate agreement with Oxford Funds (the “Administration Agreement”), and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee).

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Oxford Square Management is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued income that it never received as a result of a default by an entity on the obligation that resulted in the accrual of such income. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized gains, realized losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Given that this portion of the incentive fee is payable without regard to any gain, loss or unrealized depreciation that may occur during the quarter, this portion of Oxford Square Management’s incentive fee may also be payable notwithstanding a decline in net asset value that quarter.

Effective April 1, 2016, a Preferred Return Amount is calculated on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.75% by the Company’s net asset value at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is then calculated as follows: (a) no Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is payable to Oxford Square Management in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Preferred Return Amount; (b) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return Amount but is less than or equal to a “Catch-Up Amount” determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 2.1875% by the Company’s net asset value at the end of such calendar quarter; and (c) for any quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds the Catch-Up Amount, the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee will be 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for such quarter. There is no accumulation of amounts from quarter to quarter for the Preferred Return Amount, and accordingly there is no claw back of amounts previously paid to Oxford Square Management if the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for subsequent quarters is below the quarterly Preferred Return Amount, and there is no delay of payment of incentive fees to Oxford Square Management if the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for prior quarters is below the quarterly Preferred Return Amount for the quarter for which the calculation is being made.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

In addition, effective April 1, 2016, the calculation of the Company’s Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is subject to a “Total Return Requirement”, which provides that a net investment income incentive fee will not be payable to Oxford Square Management, except to the extent 20% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations (which is the amount, if positive, of the sum of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments) during the calendar quarter for which such fees are being calculated and the eleven (11) preceding quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters since April 1, 2016) exceeds the cumulative Net Investment Income Incentive Fees accrued and/or paid for such eleven (11) preceding quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters since April 1, 2016). Under the revised fee structure, under no circumstances will the aggregate fees earned from April 1, 2016 by Oxford Square Management in any quarterly period be higher than the aggregate fees that would have been earned prior to the adoption of these changes.

From January 1, 2005 through March 31, 2016, the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, which was expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, was compared to one-fourth of an annual hurdle rate that was determined as of the immediately preceding December 31st by adding 5.00% to the interest rate then payable on the most recently issued five-year U.S. Treasury Notes, up to a maximum annual hurdle rate of 10.00%. The annual hurdle used to calculate the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were 7.51% and 7.20%, respectively.

The following table represents the Net Investment Income Incentive Fees for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee payable to Oxford Square Management as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was approximately $2.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The Capital Gains Incentive Fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20% of the Company’s “Incentive Fee Capital Gains,” which consists of its realized gains on investments for each calendar year, computed net of all realized losses on investments and unrealized capital depreciation on investments for that calendar year. However, for accounting purposes only, in order to reflect the theoretical Capital Gains Incentive Fee that would be payable for a given period as if all unrealized gains on investments were realized, the Company will accrue a Capital Gains Incentive Fee based upon net realized gains/losses on investments and unrealized depreciation on investments for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement), plus unrealized appreciation on investments held at the end of the period. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued for accounting purposes would not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of Capital Gains Incentive Fees in subsequent periods. Amounts paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The amount of Capital Gains Incentive Fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses on investments) would only become payable to Oxford Square Management in the event of a complete liquidation of the Company’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, the Capital Gains Incentive Fee expense fluctuates with the Company’s overall investment results.

There were no Capital Gains Incentive Fees incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. There were no accrued Capital Gains Incentive Fees payable to Oxford Square Management as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

Administration Agreement

The Company has also entered into the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds under which Oxford Funds provides administrative services to the Company. The Company pays Oxford Funds an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Oxford Funds in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including a portion of the rent and the compensation of the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Controller, accounting staff and other administrative support personnel, which creates potential conflicts of interest that the Board must monitor. The Company also reimburses Oxford Funds for the costs associated with the functions performed by the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer that Oxford Funds pays on the Company’s behalf pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the Company and Alaric Compliance Services, LLC.

Oxford Square Management is controlled by Oxford Funds, its managing member. Charles M. Royce, a member of the Board, holds a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management. Oxford Funds manages the business and internal affairs of Oxford Square Management. Jonathan H. Cohen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as well as a Director, is the managing member of Oxford Funds. Saul B. Rosenthal, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, is also the President of Oxford Square Management and a member of Oxford Funds.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred approximately $195,000 and $216,000 respectively, in compensation expenses for the services of employees allocated to the administrative activities of the Company, pursuant to the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 the Company incurred approximately $428,000 and $476,000, respectively in compensation expenses. Further, the Company incurred approximately $16,000 and $21,000 for facility costs allocated under the Administration Agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred approximately $32,000 and $26,000 for facility costs allocated under the Administration Agreement, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $10,000 payable under the Administration Agreement. As of December 31, 2018, there were no amounts payable under the Administration Agreement.

Co-Investment Exemptive Relief

On June 14, 2017, the SEC issued an order permitting the Company and certain of its affiliates to complete negotiated co-investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions (the “Order”). Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to the Order, the Company and certain of its affiliates are now permitted, together with any future BDCs, registered closed-end funds and certain private funds, each of whose investment adviser is the Company’s investment adviser or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company’s investment adviser, to co-invest in negotiated investment opportunities where doing so would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, providing the Company’s stockholders with access to a broader array of investment opportunities.

Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest in such investment opportunities with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s then-current investment objective and strategies.

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS

The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, the Company would not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. The amount to be paid out as a distribution each quarter is determined by the Board and is based upon the annual taxable income estimated by the management of the Company. Income calculated in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations differs substantially from GAAP income. To the extent that the Company’s cumulative undistributed taxable earnings fall below the amount of distributions declared, however, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to RICs to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on such income. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income, if any, as required.

The Company has adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan for its common stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the distribution reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock to stockholders in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as part of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan for its common stockholders, the Company’s dividend reinvestment administrator purchased 21,785 shares and 23,610 shares, respectively, of common stock for approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in the open market to satisfy the reinvestment portion of the Company’s dividends. On each of April 30, May 31 and June 30, 2019, the Company paid a distribution of approximately $3.2 million, or $0.067 per share.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of RICs. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Company will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS (cont.)

losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax character of distributions for the three months ended June 30, 2019, represented, on an estimated basis, $0.171 per share from ordinary income and $0.030 per share as a tax return of capital. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates (based on an average of the reported tax character historically) and are not being provided for U.S. tax reporting purposes. Because the Company believes the historical tax characteristics of distributions is the most useful information which is readily available, the Company has used the average of all years from inception of the Company in providing the estimates herein. However, the timing and character of distributions for federal income tax purposes (which are determined in accordance with the U.S. federal tax rules which may differ from GAAP) may be materially different than the historical information the Company used in providing the estimates herein. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2019 will be made after year-end and the amounts represented may be materially different from the amounts disclosed in the final Form 1099-DIV notice. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Company’s investment performance and may be subject to change based on tax regulations.

NOTE 10. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The Company’s net asset value per share as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $6.31 and $6.60, respectively. In determining the Company’s net asset value per share, the Board determined in good faith the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available.

NOTE 11. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On February 5, 2018, the Board authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $25.0 million worth of the Company’s common stock. Under that repurchase program, the Company was authorized, but not obligated, to repurchase outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time through December 31, 2018, provided that repurchases comply with the prohibitions under the Company’s Insider Trading Policies and Procedures and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. Further, any repurchases were to be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not have an active share repurchase program.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share repurchases under its stock repurchase program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018:

The 1940 Act requires that a BDC offer significant managerial assistance to its portfolio companies. The Company may receive fee income for managerial assistance it renders to portfolio companies in connection with its investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company received no fee income for managerial assistance.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of warranties and indemnifications that may expose the Company to some risk of loss. The risk of future loss arising from such undertakings, while not quantifiable, is expected to be remote. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any commitments to purchase additional debt investments.

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings, if any, cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 15. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The U.S. capital markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility and disruption. Disruptions in the capital markets tend to increase the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. The Company believes these conditions may reoccur in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse economic conditions could also increase the Company’s funding costs, limit the Company’s access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Company. These events could limit the Company’s investment originations, limit the Company’s ability to grow and negatively impact the Company’s operating results.

Many of the companies in which the Company has made or will make investments may be susceptible to adverse economic conditions, which may affect the ability of such companies to repay the Company’s loans or engage in a liquidity event such as a sale, recapitalization, or initial public offering. Therefore, the Company’s nonperforming assets may increase, and the value of the Company’s portfolio may decrease during this period.

Adverse economic conditions also may decrease the value of any collateral securing some of the Company’s loans and the value of its equity investments. Adverse economic conditions could lead to financial losses in the Company’s portfolio and a decrease in its revenues, net income, and the value of the Company’s assets.

A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Company or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of the portfolio company’s loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt securities that the Company holds. The Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, if a portfolio company goes bankrupt, even though the Company may have structured its investment as senior debt or secured debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the Company actually provided significant managerial assistance, if any, to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize the Company’s debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of the Company’s claim to that of other creditors. These events could harm the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

As a BDC, the Company is required to carry its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of its Board. Decreases in fair values of the Company’s investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. Depending on market conditions, the Company could incur substantial losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company places its cash in an overnight money market account and, at times, cash and cash equivalents may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. In addition, the Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies, which will subject the Company to a risk of significant loss if any of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt securities that the Company holds or if those sectors experience a market downturn.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Oxford Square Capital Corp., our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

•        our future operating results;

•        our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

•        the impact of investments that we expect to make;

•        our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

•        the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

•        the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

•        our expected financings and investments;

•        the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and

•        the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

•        an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;

•        a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;

•        interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly because we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

•        currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars; and

•        the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in Item 1A. — Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in our other filings with the SEC.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in Item 1A. — Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except where the context requires otherwise, the terms “OXSQ,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Oxford Square Capital Corp. together with its subsidiary Oxford Square Funding 2018, LLC (“OXSQ Funding”); “Oxford Square Management” refers to Oxford Square Management, LLC; and “Oxford Funds” refers to Oxford Funds, LLC.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return. Our primary focus is to seek an attractive risk-adjusted total return by investing primarily in corporate debt securities and in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) structured finance investments that own corporate debt securities. CLO investments may also include warehouse facilities, which are early-stage CLO vehicles intended to aggregate loans that may be used to form the basis of a traditional CLO vehicle. We operate as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company and have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with our 2003 taxable year.

Our investment activities are managed by Oxford Square Management, LLC (“Oxford Square Management”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Oxford Square Management is owned by Oxford Funds, LLC (“Oxford Funds”), its managing member and a related party, Charles M. Royce, a member of Oxford Square Capital Corp.’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) who holds a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management. Jonathan H. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, and Saul B. Rosenthal, our President, are the controlling members of Oxford Funds. Under an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Oxford Square Management an annual base fee calculated on gross assets, and an incentive fee based upon our performance. Under an amended and restated administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), we have agreed to pay or reimburse Oxford Funds, as administrator, for certain expenses incurred in operating the Company. Our executive officers and directors, and the executive officers of Oxford Square Management and Oxford Funds, serve or may serve as officers and directors of entities that operate in a line of business similar to our own. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders.

We generally expect to invest between $5 million and $50 million in each of our portfolio companies, although this investment size may vary proportionately as the size of our capital base changes and market conditions warrant. We expect that our investment portfolio will be diversified among a large number of investments with few investments, if any, exceeding 5.0% of the total portfolio. As of June 30, 2019, our debt investments had stated interest rates of between 5.95% and 13.10% and maturity dates of between 23 and 145 months. In addition, our total portfolio had a weighted average annualized yield on debt investments of approximately 10.0%.

The weighted average annualized yield of our debt investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our fees and expenses. The weighted average annualized yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of June 30, 2019, including accretion of original issue discount (“OID”). There can be no assurance that the weighted average annualized yield will remain at its current level.

We have historically borrowed funds to make investments and may continue to borrow funds to make investments. As a result, we are exposed to the risks of leverage, which may be considered a speculative investment technique. Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain and loss on amounts invested and therefore increase the risks associated with investing in our securities. In addition, the costs associated with our borrowings, including any increase in the management fee payable to Oxford Square Management, will be borne by our common stockholders.

In addition, as a BDC under the 1940 Act, we are required to make available significant managerial assistance, for which we may receive fees, to our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. These

44

fees would be generally non-recurring, however in some instances they may have a recurring component. We have received no fee income for managerial assistance to date.

Prior to making an investment, we may enter into a non-binding term sheet with the potential portfolio company. These term sheets are generally subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigations of the company’s business and legal documentation for the loan.

To the extent possible, we will generally seek to invest in loans that are collateralized by a security interest in the borrower’s assets or guaranteed by a principal to the transaction. Interest payments, if not deferred, are normally payable quarterly with most debt investments having scheduled principal payments on a monthly or quarterly basis. When we receive a warrant to purchase stock in a portfolio company, the warrant will typically have a nominal strike price, and will entitle us to purchase a modest percentage of the borrower’s stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified investment valuation and investment income as critical accounting policies.

Investment Valuation

We measure our investment portfolio at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. Estimates made in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. We believe that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make.

ASC 820-10 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. We consider the attributes of current market conditions on an ongoing basis and have determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for our investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, all of our investments are based upon “Level 3” inputs as of June 30, 2019.

Our Board determines the value of our investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of Oxford Square Management’s portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. We may engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although our Board ultimately determines the appropriate valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation.

Syndicated Loans

In accordance with ASC 820-10, our valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the marketplace from

45

which we obtain indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of its syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC-820-10. During such periods of illiquidity, when we believe that the non-binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated investments that it owns may not be determinative of their fair value or when no market indicative quote is available, we may engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments that we own. In addition, Oxford Square Management prepares an analysis of each syndicated loan, financial summary, covenant compliance review, recent trading activity in the security, if known, and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non-binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Valuation Committee to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available, in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis provided by third-party valuation firms, if any. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — Debt and Equity

We have acquired a number of debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and CLO warehouse investments. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, we consider the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. We also consider those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. In addition, we consider the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. Oxford Square Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third-party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to our Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

Bilateral Investments (Including Equity)

Bilateral investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by our Board, upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third-party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of our bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, (i) have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter, and (ii) have a value as of the current quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the current quarter, after taking into account any repayment of principal during the current quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third-party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted in (i) and (ii) above, the frequency of those third-party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade 1, at least annually; Grade 2, at least semi-annually; Grades 3, 4, and 5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters in (i) and (ii) above are not required to have a third-party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by Oxford Square Management. Oxford Square Management also retains the authority to seek, on our behalf, additional third party valuations with respect to our bilateral portfolio securities, our syndicated loan investments, and CLO investment vehicles. Our Board retains ultimate authority as to the third-party review cycle as well as the appropriate valuation of each investment.

46

Investment Income

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of market discounts and/or original issue discount (“OID”) and amortization of market premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. We generally restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our judgment, is likely to remain current. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no investments on non-accrual status.

Interest income also includes a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision on certain investments in our portfolio. Refer to the section below, “Payment-In-Kind,” for a description of the PIK provision and its impact on interest income.

Payment-In-Kind

We have investments in our portfolio which contain a contractual PIK provision. Certain PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or additional securities. PIK interest and preferred equity dividends are computed at the contractual rate and are accrued into income and recorded as interest and divided income, respectively. The PIK amounts are and added to the principal balance on the capitalization date. Upon capitalization, the PIK component is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. At the point we believe the PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status once it becomes probable that PIK will be realized.

Income from Securitization Vehicles and Investments

Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, based upon an effective yield to the expected redemption utilizing estimated cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. We monitor the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the consolidated statement of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by us during the period.

Other Income

Other income includes prepayment, amendment, and other fees earned by our loan investments, distributions from fee letters and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral manager’s fees, and are recorded as other income when earned. We may also earn success fees associated with our investments in certain securitization vehicles or “CLO warehouse facilities,” which are contingent upon a repayment of the warehouse by a permanent CLO securitization structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the repayment is completed.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

The total fair value of our investment portfolio was approximately $447.8 million and $445.0 million as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in the value of investments during the six month period ended June 30, 2019, was due primarily to purchases of investments of approximately $50.8 million and partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on our investment portfolio of approximately $14.6 million (which incorporates reductions to CLO equity cost value of $4.0 million) debt repayments and sales of securities totaling approximately $34.9 million and realized losses of $1.3 million. A reconciliation of the investment portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 follows:

(1)      For the six months ended June 30, 2019, reduction to cost value on our CLO equity investments represents the difference between distributions received, or entitled to be received for the six months ended June 30, 2019, of approximately $17.5 million and the effective yield interest income of approximately $13.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2018, reduction to cost value on our CLO equity investments represents the difference between distributions received, or entitled to be received, for the year ended December 31, 2018, of approximately $46.6 million and the effective yield interest income of approximately $27.8 million.

(2)      Includes rounding adjustment to reconcile ending investment portfolio as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 we purchased approximately $46.4 million in portfolio investments, none of which represented an additional investment in an existing portfolio company. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we purchased approximately $244.6 million in portfolio investments, including additional investments of approximately $90.3 million in existing portfolio companies and approximately $154.3 million in new portfolio companies.

In certain instances, we receive investment proceeds based on the scheduled amortization of the outstanding loan balances and from the sales of portfolio investments. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized proceeds from the sales of securities of approximately $7.4 million and $25.9 million, respectively. Also, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, we had debt repayments of approximately $23.5 million and $131.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, we had investments in debt securities of, or loans to, 23 portfolio companies, with a fair value of approximately $273.3 million, and equity investments of approximately $174.5 million. Our debt and preferred equity investments included approximately $6.5 million in capitalized PIK interest, which, as described in “— Overview” section above, is added to the carrying value of our investments, reduced by repayments of principal.

As of December 31, 2018, we had investments in debt securities of, or loans to, 22 portfolio companies, with a fair value of approximately $283.7 million, and equity investments of approximately $161.3 million. Our debt investments included approximately $0.3 million in capitalized PIK interest.

We expect that a portion of our investments will be in the grades 3, 4 or 5 categories from time to time, and, as such, we will be required to work with troubled portfolio companies to improve their business and protect our investment. The number and amount of investments included in grades 3, 4 or 5 may fluctuate from period to period.

The increase in total investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the recognition of approximately $6.3 million of cumulative preferred equity dividend income PIK in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and increases in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Effective June 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with UniTek Global Services, Inc. (“Unitek”), to receive 2,371,211 shares of Series B Super Senior Preferred Stock, 4,352,199 shares of Series B Senior Preferred Stock and 10,323,434 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all Series A shares of each respective Preferred Stock tranche currently held by OXSQ. This exchange resulted in the capitalization of approximately $6.3 million of cumulative PIK dividends which are added to the cost basis of each respective Preferred Stock tranche. This amount is recognized as dividend income – PIK in the consolidated statement of operations.

The total principal value of income producing debt investments as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was approximately $294.5 million and $295.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, our debt investments had a range of stated interest rates of 5.95% and 13.10% and maturity dates of between 23 and 145 months compared to a range of stated interest rates of 6.08% to 15.00% and maturity dates between 6 and 157 months as of June 30, 2018. In addition, our total debt portfolio had a weighted average yield on debt investments of approximately 10.0% as of June 30, 2019, compared to approximately 9.7% as of June 30, 2018. The increase in the weighted average yield on our debt portfolio over the past twelve months is primarily due to our ongoing strategy of rotating the corporate loan portfolio into higher-yielding, less liquid loans.

Income from securitization vehicles for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, was approximately $6.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Income from securitization vehicles for the six months

51

ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, was approximately $13.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The total principal outstanding on our investments in CLOs as of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, was approximately $282.8 million and $268.9 million, respectively. The weighted average yield on CLO equity investments as of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, was approximately 13.1% and 14.5%, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were approximately $8.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were approximately $14.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. These amounts consisted of base management fees, interest expense, professional fees, compensation expense, general and administrative expenses, and incentive fees.

Expenses before incentive fees for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $5.8 million, which increased by approximately $1.8 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Expenses before incentive fees for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were approximately $10.5 million, which increased by approximately $2.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in expenses before incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is largely due to an increase in interest expense as a result of entering into the 6.25% Unsecured Notes.

The base management fee for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $1.9 million compared with $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The base management fee for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $3.5 million compared with $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was due largely to an increase in the weighted average gross assets.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $2.8 million, which relates to our 6.50% unsecured notes due 2024 (the “6.50% Unsecured Notes”), 6.25% unsecured notes due 2026 (the “6.25 Unsecured Notes”), and Credit Facility with Citibank, N.A., compared to interest expense of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $5.0 million, compared to interest expense of approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was a result of entering into the 6.25% Unsecured Notes, partially offset by a paydown of the Credit Facility.

Professional fees, consisting of legal, consulting, valuation, audit and tax fees, were approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Professional fees were approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to higher legal fees.

Compensation expense was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which is approximately equal to the amount for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Compensation expense reflects the allocation of compensation expenses for the services of our Chief Financial Officer, accounting personnel, and other administrative support staff.

General and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of directors’ fees, insurance, listing fees, transfer agent and custodian fees, office supplies, facilities costs and other expenses, were approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Office supplies, facilities costs and other expenses are allocated to us under the terms of the Administration Agreement.

Incentive Fees

The net investment income incentive fee recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $2.4 million, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The net investment income incentive fee recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $3.5 million, compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The net investment income incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the amount by which (x) the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds (y) the “Preferred Return Amount” for calendar quarter (see “Note 7. Related Party Transactions” in the notes to

52

our consolidated financial statements). For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee).

The capital gains incentive fee expense, as reported under GAAP, is calculated on the basis of net realized and unrealized gains and losses at the end of each period. The expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to our investment adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of our portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, no accrual was required as a result of the impact of accumulated net unrealized depreciation and net realized losses on our portfolio.

The amount of the capital gains incentive fee which will actually be payable is determined in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and is calculated as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). The terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement state that the capital gains incentive fee calculation is based on net realized gains, if any, offset by gross unrealized depreciation for the calendar year. No effect is given to gross unrealized appreciation in this calculation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, such an accrual was not required under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Realized and Unrealized Gains/Losses on Investments

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 we recognized net realized gains on investments of approximately $1,000, which reflects the gain from the sale of a senior secured note investment partially offset by losses from the sale of several CLO equity investments during the period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, our net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation was approximately $20.3 million, composed of $1.8 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $22.2 million in gross unrealized depreciation and approximately $0.2 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation as investment gains and losses were realized. This includes net unrealized appreciation of approximately $2.6 million as a result of reductions to the cost value of our CLO equity investments under the effective yield accounting methodology, whereby the cost value of the respective investments are reduced by the excess of actual cash received and record date distributions to be received over the calculated income using the effective yield.

Net Increase/Decrease in Net Assets Resulting from Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was approximately $12.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $21.1 million, compared to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in total investment income was partially offset by an increase in total expenses over the periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income per common share was $0.27 and $0.44 (basic and diluted), respectively, compared to the net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income per share of $0.15 and $0.32 (basic and diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The per share increase is due to higher net investment income and lower weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Increase/(Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $7.5 million compared with a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $5.2 million compared to approximately $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was largely due to unrealized depreciation on investments partially offset by higher net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations per common share was $0.16 (basic and diluted), compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share of $0.14 (basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations per common share was $0.11 (basic and diluted), compared to $0.36 (basic and diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2019, cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately $12.6 million as compared to approximately $17.1 million as of December 31, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities for the period, consisting primarily of the items described in “— Results of Operations,” was approximately $4.3 million, largely reflecting proceeds from principal repayments and sales of investments of approximately $35.0 million, reductions to CLO equity cost value of $4.0 million and net realized losses on investments of approximately $1.3 million partially offset by purchases of investments of $50.8 million, net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of $14.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $8.8 million, reflecting the distribution of dividends, the partial repayment of the Credit Facility which was partially offset by the issuance of the 6.25% Unsecured Notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any commitments to purchase additional investments. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.

Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, as of June 30, 2019, we were only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, was at least 150%, immediately after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 283.7% and 308.5%, respectively.

On March 23, 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was signed into law, which included various changes to regulations under the federal securities laws that impact BDCs. The SBCAA included changes to the 1940 Act to allow BDCs to decrease their asset coverage requirement to 150% from 200% under certain circumstances. On April 6, 2018, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the SBCAA. As a result, the Company’s asset coverage requirements for senior securities was changed from 200% to 150%, effective as of April 6, 2019.

The weighted average stated interest rate and weighted average maturity on all of the Company’s debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019, were 5.87% and 4.1 years, respectively, and as of December 31, 2018, were 5.64% and 3.1 years, respectively.

On April 12, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of approximately $64.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.50% Unsecured Notes. The 6.50% Unsecured Notes will mature on March 30, 2024, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option on or after March 30, 2020. The 6.50% Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per year payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30 of each year, commencing June 30, 2017.

On June 21, 2018, OXSQ Funding, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of OXSQ, entered into the Credit Facility with Citibank, N.A. Subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Credit Facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate for an interest period equal to three months plus a spread of 2.25% per annum payable quarterly on March 21, June 21, September 21 and December 21. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement governing the Credit Facility, OXSQ Funding has borrowed approximately $95.2 million. The Credit Facility has a mandatory amortization schedule such that 15.0% of the principal amount outstanding as of June 21, 2018 will be due and payable on June 21, 2019. On each payment date occurring thereafter, an additional 6.25% of the remaining principal amount outstanding will be due and payable. On June 21, 2020, all remaining principal and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable.

Refer to “Note 6. Borrowings” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Distributions

In order to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, and to avoid corporate level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and short-term capital gains to our stockholders on an annual basis.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, management estimated that a tax return of capital occurred of approximately $0.03 per share. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of favorable regulated investment company tax treatment. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our taxable ordinary income or capital gains. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is taxable ordinary income or capital gains. The final determination of the nature of our distributions can only be made upon the filing of our tax return. We have until October 15, 2019, to file our federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The following table reflects the cash distributions, including distributions reinvested, if any, per share that our Board has declared on our common stock since the beginning of 2017:

Related Parties

We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with Oxford Square Management. Oxford Square Management is controlled by Oxford Funds, its managing member. Oxford Funds, as the managing member of Oxford Square Management, manages the business and internal affairs of Oxford Square Management. In addition, Oxford Funds provides us with office facilities and administrative services pursuant to the Administration Agreement. Jonathan H. Cohen is the managing member of and controls Oxford Funds. Saul B. Rosenthal is also the President of Oxford Square Management and a member of Oxford Funds. Charles M. Royce has a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management.

Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal also currently serve as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, at Oxford Bridge Management, LLC, the investment adviser to Oxford Bridge, LLC and Oxford Bridge II, LLC (collectively, the “Oxford Bridge Funds”), and at Oxford Gate Management, LLC, the investment adviser to Oxford Gate Master Fund, LLC, Oxford Gate, LLC and Oxford Gate (Bermuda), LLC (collectively, the “Oxford Gate Funds”). Oxford Funds is the managing member of both Oxford Bridge Management, LLC and Oxford Gate Management, LLC. In addition, Bruce L. Rubin serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and Gerald Cummins serves as the Chief Compliance Officer, respectively, of both Oxford Bridge Management, LLC and Oxford Gate Management, LLC.

Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal currently serve as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of Oxford Lane Capital Corp., a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that invests primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of CLO vehicles, and its investment adviser, Oxford Lane Management, LLC. Oxford Funds provides Oxford Lane Capital Corp. with office facilities and administrative services pursuant to an administration agreement and also serves as the managing member of Oxford Lane Management, LLC. In addition, Bruce L. Rubin serves as the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Oxford Lane Management, LLC, and Mr. Cummins serves as the Chief Compliance Officer of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. and Oxford Lane Management, LLC.

As a result, certain conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the management of our portfolio by Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal on the one hand, and the obligations of Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal to manage Oxford Lane Capital Corp., the Oxford Bridge Funds and the Oxford Gate Funds, respectively, on the other hand.

Oxford Square Management, Oxford Lane Management, LLC, Oxford Bridge Management, LLC and Oxford Gate Management, LLC are subject to a written policy with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among the Company, Oxford Lane Capital Corp., the Oxford Bridge Funds and the Oxford Gate Funds. Where investments are suitable for more than one entity, the allocation policy generally provides that, depending on size and subject to current and anticipated cash availability, the absolute size of the investment as well as its relative size compared to the total assets of each entity, current and anticipated weighted average costs of capital, among other factors, an investment amount will be determined by the adviser to each entity. If the investment opportunity is sufficient for each entity to receive its investment amount, then each entity receives the investment amount; otherwise, the investment amount is reduced pro rata. On June 14, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order permitting the Company and certain of its affiliates to complete negotiated co-investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions (the “Order”). Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to the Order, the Company and certain of its affiliates are now permitted, together with any future BDCs, registered closed-end funds and certain private funds, each of whose investment adviser is the Company’s investment adviser or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company’s investment adviser, to co-invest in negotiated investment opportunities where doing so would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, providing the Company’s stockholders with access to a broader array of investment opportunities. Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest in such investment opportunities with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our then-current investment objective and strategies.

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions

57

with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us and our employees and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that doing so will not raise concerns under the 1940 Act or, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval or exemptive relief for such transaction. Our Board reviews these procedures on an annual basis.

We have also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. As required by the NASDAQ Global Select Market corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our Board is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Information concerning related party transactions is included in the consolidated financial statements and related notes, appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2019, all of our debt investments in our portfolio were at variable rates. As of June 30, 2019, all of our variable rate investments were income producing. The variable rates are based upon the five-year Treasury note, the Prime rate or LIBOR, and, in the case of our bilateral investments, are generally reset annually, whereas our non-bilateral investments generally reset quarterly. We expect that future debt investments will generally be made at variable rates. Many of the variable rate investments contain floors.

Based on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019, the following table shows the annualized impact on investment income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates for our settled investments (considering interest rate floors for floating rate instruments), excluding CLO equity investments. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of June 30, 2019. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of June 30, 2019, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity, it does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our portfolio, and other business developments, including a change in the level of our borrowings, that could affect the net increase (or decrease) in net assets

58

resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2019 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings, if any, cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results, including the Risk Factor titled “Beginning on April 6, 2019, we will be permitted to borrow more money, which will further magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may further increase the risk of investing in us.” The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes during the three months ended June 30, 2019, to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of our portfolio of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities.

Concerns have been publicized that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Bankers’ Association, or “BBA,” in connection with the calculation of LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have been under-reporting or otherwise manipulating the inter-bank lending rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivatives positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may have resulted from reporting inter-bank lending rates higher than those they actually submitted. A number of BBA member banks have entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations by regulators and governmental authorities in various jurisdictions are ongoing.

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large US financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Recently, the corporate loans and CLOs we have invested in have included, or have been amended to include, language permitting the administrative agent or CLO investment manager, respectively, to implement a market replacement rate (like those proposed by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) upon the occurrence of certain material disruption events. However, we cannot ensure that all corporate loans or CLOs in which we are invested will have such provisions, nor can we ensure the administrative agents or CLO investment managers will undertake the suggested amendments when able. We believe that because corporate loan and CLO managers and other CLO and corporate loan market participants have been preparing for an eventual transition away from LIBOR, we do not anticipate such a transition to have a material impact on the liquidity or value of any of our LIBOR-referenced corporate loan or CLO investments. However, because the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain, the specific effects of a transition away from LIBOR cannot be determined as of the date of this prospectus.
