SARATOGA INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2012
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Saratoga Investment Corp. (the Company, we, our and us) is a non-diversified closed end management investment company incorporated in Maryland that has elected to be treated and is regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). We commenced operations on March 23, 2007 as GSC Investment Corp. and completed our initial public offering (IPO) on March 28, 2007. We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). We expect to continue to qualify and to elect to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC. Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation from our investments.
GSC Investment, LLC (the LLC) was organized in May 2006 as a Maryland limited liability company. As of February 28, 2007, the LLC had not yet commenced its operations and investment activities.
On March 21, 2007, the Company was incorporated and concurrently therewith the LLC was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity, in accordance with the procedure for such merger in the LLCs limited liability company agreement and Maryland law. In connection with such merger, each outstanding limited liability company interest of the LLC was converted into a share of common stock of the Company.
On July 30, 2010, the Company changed its name from GSC Investment Corp. to Saratoga Investment Corp. in conjunction with the transaction described in Note 12. Recapitalization Transaction below.
We are externally managed and advised by our investment adviser, Saratoga Investment Advisors, LLC (the Manager), pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Prior to July 30, 2010, we were managed and advised by GSCP (NJ), L.P.
On March 28, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC, LP (SBIC LP), received a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) license from the Small Business Administration (SBA).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Saratoga Investment Funding, LLC (previously known as GSC Investment Funding LLC) and SBIC LP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the Company, we, and us herein include Saratoga Investment Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income, gains/(losses) and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in a money market fund. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Pursuant to section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, the Company may not invest in another registered investment company such as a money market fund if such investment would cause the Company to exceed any of the following limitations:
· we were to own more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of the money market fund;
· we were to hold securities in the money market fund having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value of our total assets; or
· we were to hold securities in money market funds and other registered investment companies and BDCs having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of our total assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Reserve Accounts
Cash and cash equivalents, reserve accounts include amounts held in designated bank accounts in the form of cash and short-term liquid investments in money market funds representing payments received on secured investments or other reserved amounts associated with our $45 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Madison Capital Funding LLC. The Company is required to use these amounts to pay interest expense, reduce borrowings, or pay other amounts in accordance with the terms of the senior secured revolving credit facility.
Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, Control Investments are defined as investments in companies in which we own more than 25% of the voting securities or maintain greater than 50% of the board representation. Under the 1940 Act, Affiliated Investments are defined as those non-control investments in companies in which we own between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, Non-affiliated Investments are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.
Investment Valuation
The Company accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that its investments are to be sold at the statement of assets and liabilities date in the principal market to independent market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are fair valued at such market quotations obtained from independent third party pricing services and market makers subject to any decision by our board of directors to approve a fair value determination to reflect significant events affecting the value of these investments. We value investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as approved, in good faith, by our board of directors based on input from our Manager, the audit committee of our board of directors and a third party independent valuation firm. Determinations of fair value may involve subjective judgments and estimates. The types of factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors.
We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:
· Each investment is initially valued by the responsible investment professionals of our Manager and preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with the senior management of our Manager; and
· An independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors reviews approximately one quarter of these preliminary valuations each quarter so that the valuation of each investment for which market quotes are not readily available is reviewed by the independent valuation firm at least annually.
In addition, all our investments are subject to the following valuation process:
· The audit committee of our board of directors reviews each preliminary valuation and our Manager and independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee; and
· Our board of directors discusses the valuations and approves the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of our Manager, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Our investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd. (Saratoga CLO) is carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for equity interests in collateralized loan obligation funds similar to Saratoga CLO, when available, as determined by our Manager and recommended to our board of directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash flow models, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of our investment in Saratoga CLO. The models use a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rate and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated valuations. The assumptions are based on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates. We use the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to perform a discounted cash flows analysis on expected future cash flows to determine a valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO.
Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed. Our net asset value could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher or lower than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such investments.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). ASC 815 requires recognizing all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company values derivative contracts at the closing fair value provided by the counterparty. Changes in the values of derivative contracts are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Purchases and sales of investments and the related realized gains or losses are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on its investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premium on investments.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as a reduction in principal depending upon managements judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Interest income on our investment in Saratoga CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based on the anticipated yield and the estimated cash flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are revised when there are changes in actual or estimated cash flows due to changes in prepayments and/or re-investments, credit losses or asset pricing. Changes in estimated yield are recognized as an adjustment to the estimated yield over the remaining life of the investment from the date the estimated yield was changed.
Paid-in-Kind Interest
The Company holds debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (PIK) interest provision. The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at
maturity, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing PIK interest if we do not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due.
Deferred Credit Facility Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with our credit facility are deferred and amortized using the straight line method over the life of the facility.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Company. Based on its history and experience, management feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may directly or indirectly be a defendant or plaintiff in legal actions with respect to bankruptcy, insolvency or other types of proceedings. Such lawsuits may involve claims that could adversely affect the value of certain financial instruments owned by the Company.
Income Taxes
The Company has filed an election to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, among other things, intends to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders which will relieve the Company from federal income taxes. Therefore, no provision has been recorded for the obligation to pay federal income taxes.
In order to qualify as a RIC, among other requirements, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each fiscal tax year. The Company will be subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for excise tax purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.
In accordance with certain applicable Treasury regulations and private letter rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder may elect to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or stock of the RIC subject to a limitation on the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders, which limitation must be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution. If too many stockholders elect to receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash will receive a pro rata amount of cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). In no event will any stockholder, electing to receive cash, receive less than 20% of his or her entire distribution in cash. If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in stock will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock.
ASC 740, Income Taxes provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Companys tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. As of November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012, there were no uncertain tax positions.
Dividends
Dividends to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is approved by the board of directors. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for reinvestment.
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our dividend distributions on behalf of our stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividends. If our common stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation, the plan administrator may receive the dividend or distribution in cash and purchase common stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the account of each participant in our dividend reinvestment plan.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee
The Company records an expense accrual relating to the capital gains incentive fee payable by the Company to its investment adviser when the unrealized gains on its investments exceed all realized capital losses on its investments given the fact that a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the investment adviser if the Company were to liquidate its investment portfolio at such time. The actual incentive fee payable to the Companys investment adviser related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains for the period.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued (ASU) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Risk Management
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of potential adverse changes to the value of investments because of changes in market conditions such as interest rate movements and volatility in investment prices.
Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies, equivalent to the investments carrying amount.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash and cash equivalents, including those in reserve accounts, at a major financial institution and credit risk related to any of its derivative counterparties.
The Company has investments in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield bonds and bank loans. Investments in high yield investments are accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for holders of high yield securities, because such investments are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
Note 3. Investments
As noted above, the Company values all investments in accordance with ASC 820. ASC 820 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability
of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
· Level 1Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
· Level 2Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable.
· Level 3Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as a Level 3 asset, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 and the 1940 Act (see Note 2). Consistent with our Companys valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.

For investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the EBITDA valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

For loans and debt securities for which market quotations are not available, we determine their fair value based on third party indicative broker quotes, where available, or the assumptions that a hypothetical market participant would use to value the security in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield valuation methodology. In applying the market yield valuation methodology, we determine the fair value based on such factors as market participant assumptions including synthetic credit ratings, estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. If, in our judgment, the market yield methodology is not sufficient or appropriate, we may use additional methodologies such as an asset liquidation or expected recovery model.
For equity securities of portfolio companies and partnership interests, we determine the fair value of the portfolio company based on the market approach with value then attributed to equity or equity like securities using the enterprise value waterfall valuation methodology. Under the enterprise value waterfall valuation methodology, we determine the enterprise fair value of the portfolio company and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio companys securities in order of their preference relative to one another. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing investments may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio companys assets and liabilities. We also take into account historical and anticipated financial results.
Our investment in Saratoga CLO is carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for equity interests in collateralized loan obligation funds similar to Saratoga CLO, when available, as determined by our Manager and recommended to our board of
directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash flow models, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of our investment in Saratoga CLO. The models use a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rate and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated valuations. The assumptions are based on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates. We used the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to perform a discounted cash flows analysis on expected future cash flows to determine a valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO at November 30, 2012. The significant inputs for the valuation model included:
· Default rates: 3.0%
· Recovery rates: 70% loans; 35% bonds
· Reinvestment rates: LIBOR plus 350 basis points
· Prepayment rate: 20%
Note 4. Investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd. (Saratoga CLO)
On January 22, 2008, we invested $30 million in all of the outstanding subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO (which are referred in the unaudited balance sheet of Saratoga CLO below as Preference shares), a collateralized loan obligation fund managed by us that invests primarily in senior secured loans. Additionally, we entered into a collateral management agreement with Saratoga CLO pursuant to which we act as collateral manager to it. In return for our collateral management services, we are entitled to a senior collateral management fee of 0.10% and a subordinate collateral management fee of 0.40% of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga CLOs assets, to be paid quarterly to the extent of available proceeds. We are also entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 20% of excess cash flow to the extent the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes receive an internal rate of return equal to or greater than 12%. For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $0.5 million and $0.5 million in collateral management fee income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO and $1.0 million and $1.2 million in interest income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $1.5 million and $1.5 million in collateral management fee income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO and $3.2 million and $3.1 million in interest income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO. We did not accrue any amounts related to the incentive management fee as the 12% hurdle rate has not yet been achieved.
At November 30, 2012, the Company determined that the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO was $24.6 million, whereas the net asset value of Saratoga CLO on such date was $28.8 million. The Company does not believe that the net asset value of Saratoga CLO, which is the difference between Saratoga CLOs assets and liabilities at a given point in time, necessarily equates to the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO. Specifically, the Company determines the fair value of its investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO based on the present value of the projected future cash flows of the subordinated notes over the life of Saratoga CLO. At November 30, 2012, Saratoga CLO had investments with a principal balance of $393.4 million and a weighted average spread over LIBOR of 4.2%, and had debt with a principal balance of $366.0 million with a weighted average spread over LIBOR of 1.4%. As a result, Saratoga CLO earns a spread between the interest income it receives on its investments and the interest expense it pays on its debt and other operating expenses, which is distributed quarterly to the Company as the holder of its subordinated notes. At November 30, 2012, the total spread, or projected future cash flows of the subordinated notes, over the life of Saratoga CLO was $37.2 million, which had a present value of approximately $25.1 million, using a 13% discount rate. At November 30, 2012, the fair value of the subordinated notes, which we based upon the present value of the projected cash flows, was $24.6 million, which was less than the net asset value of Saratoga CLO on such date by approximately $4.2 million.
Below is certain summary financial information from the separate unaudited financial statements of Saratoga CLO as of November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.

Note 5. Agreements
On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement (the Management Agreement) with our Manager. The initial term of the Management Agreement is two years, with automatic, one-year renewals at the end of each year subject to certain approvals by our board of directors and/or our stockholders. On July 9, 2012, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager implements our business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for us, subject to oversight by our board of directors. Our Manager is responsible for, among other duties, determining investment criteria, sourcing, analyzing and executing investment transactions, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under the Management Agreement, we have agreed to pay our Manager a management fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee.
The base management fee of 1.75% is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets (other than cash or cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed fiscal quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable fiscal quarter.
The incentive fee consists of the following two parts:
The first, payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, that exceeds a 1.875% quarterly (7.5% annualized) hurdle rate measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, subject to a catch-up provision. Under this provision, in any fiscal quarter, our Manager receives no incentive fee unless our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.875%. Our Manager will receive 100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.344% in any fiscal quarter (9.376% annualized); and 20% of the amount of the our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.344% in any fiscal quarter (9.376% annualized).
The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Management Agreement) and equals 20% of our incentive fee capital gains, which equals our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from August 31, 2010 through the end of the year, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis from August 31, 2010, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee. Importantly, the capital gains portion of the incentive fee is based on realized gains and realized and unrealized losses from August 31, 2010. Therefore, realized and unrealized losses incurred prior to such time will not be taken into account when calculating the capital gains portion of the incentive fee, and our Manager will be entitled to 20% of incentive fee capital gains that arise after August 31, 2010. In addition, for the purpose of the incentive fee capital gains calculations, the cost basis for computing realized gains and losses on investments held by us as of August 31, 2010 will equal the fair value of such investments as of such date.
For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $0.5 million and $0.4 million in base management fees, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we reduced the incentive fees related to capital gains by $0.5 million. For the three months ended November 30, 2011, we accrued $0.9 million in incentive fees related to capital gains. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $1.5 million and $1.2 million in base management fees, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.3 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $0.5 million and $0.5 million in incentive fees related to capital gains, respectively. The accruals related to the capital gains incentive fees were calculated using both realized and unrealized capital gains for the period. The actual incentive fee related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of the fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains for the period. As of November 30, 2012, $0.5 million of base management fees and $2.8 million of incentive fees were accrued and included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into a separate administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) with our Manager, pursuant to which our Manager, as our administrator, has agreed to furnish us with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations and provide managerial assistance on our behalf to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. The initial term of the Administration Agreement is two years, with automatic, one-year renewals at the end of each year subject to certain approvals by our board of directors and/or our stockholders. The amount of expenses payable or reimbursable thereunder by the Company is capped at $1 million for the initial two year term of the Administration Agreement. On July 9, 2012, our board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term and determined to maintain the cap on the payment or reimbursement of expenses by the Company thereunder to $1 million for the additional one-year term.
For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.3 million in administrator expenses for the periods, pertaining to bookkeeping, record keeping and other administrative services provided to us in addition to our allocable portion of rent and other overhead related expenses. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $0.8 million and $0.7 million in administrator expenses for the periods, pertaining to bookkeeping, record keeping and other administrative services provided to us in addition to our allocable portion of rent and other overhead related expenses. As of November 30, 2012, $0.1 million of administrator expenses were accrued and included in due to manager in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
Note 6. Borrowings
Credit Facility
As a BDC, we are only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage. The amount of leverage that we employ at any time depends on our assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.
On April 11, 2007, we entered into a $100.0 million revolving securitized credit facility (the Revolving Facility). On May 1, 2007, we entered into a $25.7 million term securitized credit facility (the Term Facility and, together with the Revolving Facility, the Facilities), which was fully drawn at closing. In December 2007, we consolidated the Facilities by using a draw under the Revolving Facility to repay the Term Facility. In response to the market wide decline in financial asset prices, which negatively affected the value of our portfolio, we terminated the revolving period of the Revolving Facility effective January 14, 2009 and commenced a two-year amortization period during which all principal proceeds from the collateral was used to repay outstanding borrowings. A significant percentage of our total assets had been pledged under the Revolving Facility to secure our obligations thereunder. Under the Revolving Facility, funds were borrowed from or through certain lenders and interest was payable monthly at the greater of the commercial paper rate and our lenders prime rate plus 4.00% plus a default rate of 2.00% or, if the commercial paper market was unavailable, the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rates and our lenders prime rate plus 6.00% plus a default rate of 3.00%.
In March 2009, we amended the Revolving Facility to increase the portion of the portfolio that could be invested in CCC rated investments in return for an increased interest rate and expedited amortization. As a result of these transactions, we expected to have additional cushion under our borrowing base under the Revolving Facility that would allow us to better manage our capital in times of declining asset prices and market dislocation.
On July 30, 2009, we exceeded the permissible borrowing limit under the Revolving Facility for 30 consecutive days, resulting in an event of default under the Revolving Facility. As a result of this event of default, our lender had the right to accelerate repayment of the outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility and to foreclose and liquidate the collateral pledged thereunder. Acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness and/or liquidation of the collateral could have had a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and operations.
On July 30, 2010, we used the net proceeds from (i) the stock purchase transaction and (ii) a portion of the funds available to us under a $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the Replacement Facility) with Madison Capital Funding LLC, in each case, described in Note 12. Recapitalization Transaction below, to pay the full amount of principal and accrued interest, including default interest, outstanding under the Revolving Facility. As a result, the Revolving Facility was terminated in connection therewith. Substantially all of our total assets have been pledged under the Replacement Facility to secure our obligations thereunder.
On February 24, 2012, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility with Madison Capital Funding LLC to, among other things:
· expand the borrowing capacity under the credit facility from $40 million to $45 million;
· extend the period during which we may make and repay borrowings under the credit facility from July 30, 2013 to February 24, 2015 (the Revolving Period). The Revolving Period may end upon the occurrence of an event of default, by action of the lenders or automatically. All borrowings and other amounts payable under the credit facility are due and payable five years after the end of the Revolving Period; and
· remove the condition that we may not acquire additional loan assets without the prior written consent of Madison Capital Funding LLC.
As of November 30, 2012, there was $14.9 million outstanding under the Replacement Facility and the Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the Replacement Facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the Replacement Facility approximates its fair value. $2.8 million of financing costs related to the Replacement Facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the facility. For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $0.4 million and $0.1 million of interest expense related to the Replacement Facility, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Replacement Facility, respectively. The interest rates during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 on the outstanding borrowings of the Replacement Facility were 7.50% and
7.50%, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $1.5 million and $0.5 million of interest expense related to the Replacement Facility, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $0.3 million and $0.5 million of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Replacement Facility, respectively.
The Replacement Facility contains limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used, such as restrictions on industry concentrations, asset size, weighted average life, currency denomination and collateral interests. The Replacement Facility also includes certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, the violation of which could result in the limit of further advances and, in some cases, result in an event of default, allowing the lenders to accelerate repayment of amounts owed thereunder. The Replacement Facility has an eight year term, consisting of a three year period (the Revolving Period), under which the Company may make and repay borrowings, and a final maturity five years from the end of the Revolving Period. Availability on the Replacement Facility will be subject to a borrowing base calculation, based on, among other things, applicable advance rates (which vary from 50% to 75% of par or fair value depending on the type of loan asset) and the value of certain eligible loan assets included as part of the Borrowing Base. Funds may be borrowed at the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rate and 2.00%, plus an applicable margin of 5.50%. At the Companys option, funds may be borrowed based on an alternative base rate, which in no event will be less than 3.00%, and the applicable margin over such alternative base rate is 4.50%. In addition, the Company will pay the lenders a commitment fee of 0.75% per year on the unused amount of the Replacement Facility for the duration of the Revolving Period.
Our borrowing base under the Replacement Facility was $27.7 million at November 30, 2012. For purposes of determining the borrowing base, most assets are assigned the values set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. Accordingly, the November 30, 2012 borrowing base relies upon the valuations set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2012. The valuations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will not be incorporated into the borrowing base until after this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
SBA Debentures
SBIC LP is able to borrow funds from the SBA against regulatory capital (which approximates equity capital) that is paid in and is subject to customary regulatory requirements including but not limited to an examination by the SBA. As of November 30, 2012, we have funded SBIC LP with $25.0 million of equity capital, and have $4.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding. SBA debentures are non-recourse to us, have a 10-year maturity, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA debentures is fixed at the time of issuance, often referred to as pooling, at a market-driven spread over 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes. SBA current regulations limit the amount that SBIC LP may borrow to a maximum of $150.0 million, which is up to twice its potential regulatory capital.
SBICs are designed to stimulate the flow of private equity capital to eligible small businesses. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses. Under present SBA regulations, eligible small businesses include businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $18 million and have average annual fully taxed net income not exceeding $6 million for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, an SBIC must devote 25% of its investment activity to smaller concerns as defined by the SBA. A smaller concern is one that has a tangible net worth not exceeding $6 million and has average annual fully taxed net income not exceeding $2 million for the two most recent fiscal years. SBA regulations also provide alternative size standard criteria to determine eligibility, which depend on the industry in which the business is engaged and are based on such factors as the number of employees and gross sales. According to SBA regulations, SBICs may make long-term loans to small businesses, invest in the equity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting and advisory services.
SBIC LP is subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to maintaining certain minimum financial ratios and other covenants. Receipt of an SBIC license does not assure that SBIC LP will receive SBA guaranteed debenture funding, which is dependent upon SBIC LP continuing to be in compliance with SBA regulations and policies. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to SBIC LPs assets over our stockholders in the event we liquidate SBIC LP or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by SBIC LP upon an event of default.
The Company received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission to permit it to exclude the debt of SBIC LP guaranteed by the SBA from the definition of senior securities in the 200% asset coverage test under the 1940 Act. This allows the Company increased flexibility under the 200% asset coverage test by permitting it to borrow up to $150 million more than it would otherwise be able to absent the receipt of this exemptive relief.
As of November 30, 2012, there was $4.0 million outstanding of SBA debentures. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding of SBA debentures approximates its fair value. $0.6 million of financing costs related to the SBA debentures have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the commitment and drawdown. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we recorded $0.001 million of interest expense related to the SBA debentures. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we recorded $0.03 million of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the SBA debentures. The interest rates during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 on the outstanding borrowings of the SBA debentures was 1.47%. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, we recorded $0.001 million of interest expense related to the SBA debentures. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, we recorded $0.04 million of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the SBA debentures. There were no outstanding SBA debentures at November 30, 2011.
Note 7. Directors Fees
The independent directors receive an annual fee of $40,000. They also receive $2,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each board meeting and receive $1,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each committee meeting. In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual fee of $5,000 and the chairman of each other committee receives an annual fee of $2,000 for their additional services in these capacities. In addition, we have purchased directors and officers liability insurance on behalf of our directors and officers. Independent directors have the option to receive their directors fees in the form of our common stock issued at a price per share equal to the greater of net asset value or the market price at the time of payment. No compensation is paid to directors who are interested persons of the Company (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act). For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $0.05 million and $0.05 million for directors fees expense, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we accrued $0.2 million and $0.2 million for directors fees expense, respectively. As of November 30, 2012, $0.05 million in directors fees expense were unpaid and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of November 30, 2012, we had not issued any common stock to our directors as compensation for their services.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share (ASC 260), basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis.
The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share from operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts):

Note 10. Dividend
On November 9, 2012, the Company declared a dividend of $4.25 per share payable on December 31, 2012. Shareholders had the option to receive payment of the dividend in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, provided that the aggregate cash payable to all shareholders was limited to approximately $3.3 million or $0.85 per share.
Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of approximately $3.3 million in cash and 853,455 shares of common stock, or 22% of our outstanding common stock prior to the dividend payment. The amount of cash elected to be received was greater than the cash limit of 20.0% of the aggregate dividend amount, thus resulting in the payment of a combination of cash and stock to shareholders who elected to receive cash. The number of shares of common stock comprising the stock portion was calculated based on a price of $15.444 per share, which equaled the volume weighted average trading price per share of the common stock on December 14, 17, 19, 2012. The consolidated financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2012 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the increase in common stock as a result of the dividend in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-20-S50 regarding disclosure of a capital structure change after the interim balance sheet but before the release of the financial statements.
On November 15, 2011, the Company declared a dividend of $3.00 per share payable on December 30, 2011. Shareholders had the option to receive payment of the dividend in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, provided that the aggregate cash payable to all shareholders was limited to approximately $2.0 million or $0.60 per share.
Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of approximately $2.0 million in cash and 599,584 shares of common stock, or 18% of our outstanding common stock prior to the dividend payment. The amount of cash elected to be
received was greater than the cash limit of 20.0% of the aggregate dividend amount, thus resulting in the payment of a combination of cash and stock to shareholders who elected to receive cash. The number of shares of common stock comprising the stock portion was calculated based on a price of $13.117 per share, which equaled the volume weighted average trading price per share of the common stock on December 20, 21 and 22, 2011. The consolidated financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2011 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the increase in common stock as a result of the dividend in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-20-S50 regarding disclosure of a capital structure change after the interim balance sheet but before the release of the financial statements.

(6) Ratios are annualized.
Note 12. Recapitalization Transaction
In July 2010, we consummated a recapitalization transaction that was necessitated by the fact that we had exceeded permissible borrowing limits under the Revolving Facility in July 2009, which resulted in an event of default under the Revolving Facility. As a result of the event of default under the Revolving Facility, the lender had the right to accelerate repayment of the outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility and to foreclose and liquidate the collateral pledged thereunder. We engaged the investment banking firm of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company to evaluate strategic transaction opportunities and consider alternatives for us in December 2008. On April 14, 2010, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with our Manager and certain of its affiliates and an assignment, assumption and novation agreement with our Manager, pursuant to which we assumed certain rights and obligations of our Manager under a debt commitment letter our Manager received from Madison Capital Funding LLC, indicating Madison Capital Fundings willingness to provide us with the Replacement Facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. In addition, we and GSCP (NJ), L.P., our then external investment adviser, entered into a termination and release agreement, to be effective as of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which GSCP (NJ), L.P., among other things, agreed to waive any and all accrued and unpaid deferred incentive management fees up to and as of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the stock purchase agreement but continued to be entitled to receive the base management fees earned through the date of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the stock purchase agreement.
On July 30, 2010, the transactions contemplated by the stock purchase agreement with our Manager and certain of its affiliates was completed, and included the following actions:
· the private sale of shares of our common stock for $15 million in aggregate purchase price to our Manager and certain of its affiliates;
· the closing of the $40 million Replacement Facility with Madison Capital Funding;
· the execution of a registration rights agreement with the investors in the private sale transaction, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the shares of our common stock sold in the private sale transaction;
· the execution of a trademark license agreement with our Manager pursuant to which our Manager granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Saratoga name, for so long as our Manager or one of its affiliates remains our investment adviser;
· replacing GSCP (NJ), L.P. as our investment adviser and administrator with our Manager by executing an investment advisory and management agreement, which was approved by our stockholders, and an administration agreement with our Manager;
· the resignations of Robert F. Cummings, Jr. and Richard M. Hayden, both of whom are affiliates of GSCP (NJ) L.P., as members of the board of directors and the election of Christian L. Oberbeck and Richard A. Petrocelli, both of whom are affiliates of our Manager, as members of the board of directors;
· the resignation of all of our then existing executive officers and the appointment by our board of directors of Mr. Oberbeck as our chief executive officer and president and Mr. Petrocelli as our chief financial officer, secretary and chief compliance officer; and
· our name change from GSC Investment Corp. to Saratoga Investment Corp.
We used the net proceeds from the private sale transaction and a portion of the funds available to us under the Replacement Facility to pay the full amount of principal and accrued interest, including default interest, outstanding under Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility with Deutsche Bank was terminated in connection with our payment of all amounts outstanding thereunder on July 30, 2010.

OVERVIEW
We are a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation from our investments. We invest primarily in leveraged loans and mezzanine debt issued by private U.S. middle market companies, both through direct lending and through participation in loan syndicates. We may also invest up to 30% of the portfolio in opportunistic investments in order to seek to enhance returns to stockholders. Such investments may include investments in distressed debt, which may include securities of companies in bankruptcy, foreign debt, private equity, securities of public companies that are not thinly traded and structured finance vehicles such as collateralized loan obligation funds. We have elected and qualified to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
We commenced operations, at the time as GSC Investment Corp., on March 23, 2007, and completed our initial public offering on March 28, 2007. Prior to July 30, 2010, we were externally managed and advised by GSCP (NJ), L.P., an entity affiliated with GSC Group, Inc. In connection with the consummation of the recapitalization transaction described in Note 12. Recapitalization Transaction on July 30, 2010, we engaged Saratoga Investment Advisors, LLC (SIA) to replace GSCP (NJ), L.P. as our investment adviser and changed our name to Saratoga Investment Corp.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements. We have identified investment valuation, revenue recognition and the recognition of capital gains incentive fee expense as our most critical accounting estimates. We continuously evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.
Investment Valuation
The Company accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that its investments are to be sold at the statement of assets and liabilities date in the principal market to independent market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are fair valued at such market quotations obtained from independent third party pricing services and market makers subject to any decision by our board of directors to approve a fair value determination to reflect significant events affecting the value of these investments. We value investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as approved, in good faith, by our board of directors based on input from SIA, the audit committee of our board of directors and a third party independent valuation firm. Determinations of fair value may involve subjective judgments and estimates. The types of factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors.
We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:
· Each investment is initially valued by the responsible investment professionals of SIA and preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management of SIA; and
· An independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors reviews approximately one quarter of these preliminary valuations each quarter so that the valuation of each investment for which market quotes are not readily available is reviewed by the independent valuation firm at least annually.
In addition, all our investments are subject to the following valuation process:
· The audit committee of our board of directors reviews each preliminary valuation and SIA and independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee; and
· Our board of directors discusses the valuations and approves the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of SIA, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Our investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd. (Saratoga CLO) is carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for equity interests in collateralized loan obligation funds similar to Saratoga CLO, when available, as determined by our Manager and recommended to our board of directors. Specifically, we use Intex cash flow models, or an appropriate substitute, to form the basis for the valuation of our investment in Saratoga CLO. The models use a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rate and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated valuations. The assumptions are based on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates. We use the output from the Intex models (i.e., the estimated cash flows) to perform a discounted cash flows analysis on expected future cash flows to determine a valuation for our investment in Saratoga CLO.
Revenue Recognition
Income Recognition
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on its investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premium on investments.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as a reduction in principal depending upon managements judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Interest income on our investment in Saratoga CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based on the anticipated yield and the estimated cash flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are revised when there are changes in actual or estimated cash flows due to changes in prepayments and/or re-investments, credit losses or asset pricing. Changes in estimated yield are recognized as an adjustment to the estimated yield over the remaining life of the investment from the date the estimated yield was changed.
Paid-in-Kind Interest
The Company holds debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (PIK) interest provision. The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing PIK interest if we do not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee
The Company records an expense accrual relating to the capital gains incentive fee payable by the Company to its investment adviser when the unrealized gains on its investments exceed all realized capital losses on its investments given the fact that a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the investment adviser if the Company were to liquidate its investment portfolio at such time. The actual incentive fee payable to the Companys investment adviser related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains for the period.
Revenues
We generate revenue in the form of interest income and capital gains on the debt investments that we hold and capital gains, if any, on equity interests that we may acquire. We expect our debt investments, whether in the form of first and second lien term loans or mezzanine debt, to have terms of up to ten years, and to bear interest at either a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt will be payable generally either quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases our debt investments may provide for a portion of the interest to be paid-in-kind (PIK). To the extent interest is paid-in-kind, it will be payable through the increase of the principal amount of the obligation by the amount of interest due on the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of such obligation. The principal amount of the debt and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance or investment management services and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned. We may also invest in preferred equity securities that pay dividends on a current basis.
On January 22, 2008, we entered into a collateral management agreement with Saratoga CLO pursuant to which we act as its collateral manager and receive a senior collateral management fee of 0.10% and a subordinate collateral management fee of 0.40% of the outstanding principal amount of Saratoga CLOs assets, paid quarterly to the extent of available proceeds. We are also entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 20% of excess cash flow to the extent the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes receive an internal rate of return equal to or greater than 12%.
We recognize interest income on our investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO using the effective interest method, based on the anticipated yield and the estimated cash flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are revised when there are changes in actual or estimated cash flows due to changes in prepayments and/or re-investments, credit losses or asset pricing. Changes in estimated yield are recognized as an adjustment to the estimated yield over the remaining life of the investment from the date the estimated yield was changed.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of investment advisory and management fees, professional fees, directors and officers insurance, fees paid to independent directors and administrator expenses, including our allocable portion of our administrators overhead. Our investment advisory and management fees compensate our investment adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:
· organization;
· calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
· expenses incurred by our investment adviser payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
· interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;
· offerings of our common stock and other securities;
· investment advisory and management fees;
· fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;
· transfer agent and custodial fees;
· federal and state registration fees;
· all costs of registration and listing our common stock on any securities exchange;
· federal, state and local taxes;
· independent directors fees and expenses;
· costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by governmental bodies (including the SEC and the SBA);
· costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to common stockholders including printing costs;
· our fidelity bond, directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
· direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs; and
· administration fees and all other expenses incurred by us or, if applicable, the administrator in connection with administering our business (including payments under the administration agreement based upon our allocable portion of the administrators overhead in performing its obligations under an administration agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective staffs (including travel expenses)).
To the extent that any of our leveraged loans are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, we may enter into currency hedging contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We may also enter into interest rate hedging agreements. Such hedging activities, which will be subject to compliance with applicable legal requirements, may include the use of interest rate caps, futures, options and forward contracts. Costs incurred in entering into or settling such contracts will be borne by us.

Our investment in the subordinated notes of Saratoga CLO represents a first loss position in a portfolio that, at November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012, was composed of $393.4 million and $380.2 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of predominantly senior secured first lien term loans. This investment is subject to unique risks. Please see Part II, Item 1A Risk FactorsOur investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007 LTD, constitutes a leveraged investment in a portfolio of predominantly senior secured first lien term loans and is subject to additional risks and volatility in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2012 and Note 4. Investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007 Ltd. in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about Saratoga CLO. We do not consolidate the Saratoga CLO portfolio in our financial statements. Accordingly, the metrics below do not include the underlying Saratoga CLO portfolio investments. However, at November 30, 2012, 98.5% of the Saratoga CLO portfolio investments had a CMR (as defined below) color rating of green or yellow and one Saratoga CLO portfolio investment was in default. At February 29, 2012, 99.3% of the Saratoga CLO portfolio investments had a CMR color rating of green or yellow and one Saratoga CLO portfolio investments was in default.
SIA normally grades all of our investments using a credit and monitoring rating system (CMR). The CMR consists of a single component: a color rating. The color rating is based on several criteria, including financial and operating strength, probability of default, and restructuring risk. The color ratings are characterized as follows: (Green) - strong credit; (Yellow) - satisfactory credit; (Red) - payment default risk, in payment default and/or significant restructuring activity.
The CMR distribution of our investments at November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012 was as follows:

For the three months ended November 30, 2012, total investment income increased $0.4 million, or 11.2%, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in total investment income for the three months ended November 30, 2012 versus the three months ended November 30, 2011 was the result of higher interest income recognized on our non-control investments during the three months ended November 30, 2012.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, total investment income increased $1.8 million, or 17.4%, compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in total investment income for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 versus the nine months ended November 30, 2011 was the result of higher interest income recognized on our non- control investments during the nine months ended November 30, 2012.
For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, total PIK income was $0.3 million and $0.8 million respectively. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2011, total PIK income was $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, we accrued $0.5 million and $1.5 million in collateral management fee income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO and $1.0 million and $3.2 million in interest income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2011, we accrued $0.5 million and $1.5 million in collateral management fee income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO and $1.2 million and $3.1 million in interest income, respectively, due from Saratoga CLO. The reinvestment period for the Saratoga CLO is scheduled to end in January 2013. Following the reinvestment period, proceeds from principal payments in the loan portfolio of Saratoga CLO will be used to pay down its outstanding notes, starting with Class A notes. As a result, the collateral management fee income and the interest income that we receive from the Saratoga CLO will start to decline in 2013.

For the three months ended November 30, 2012, total expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 44.9%, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease is primarily related to a reversal of incentive management fees related to the decrease in unrealized appreciation on our investment in the Saratoga CLO, partially offset by an increase in interest and credit facility expense and base management fees due to the growth in our portfolio and amount of our outstanding debt.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, total expenses increased $0.8 million, or 13.4%, compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2011. These increases were primarily attributable to increases in interest and credit facility expense and base management fees due to the growth in our portfolio and amount of our outstanding debt.
As discussed above, the increase in interest and credit facility expense for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of outstanding debt as compared to the prior periods. In this regard, there were outstanding balances under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Madison Capital of $20.0 million at February 29, 2012 and $14.9 million at November 30, 2012. In the prior period, we had outstanding balances under our revolving securitized credit facility with Madison Capital of $4.5 million at February 29, 2011 and no outstanding balance at November 30, 2011. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, the
weighted average interest rate on our outstanding indebtedness was 7.5%. For the three months ended November 30, 2011, there was no outstanding indebtedness. For the nine months ended November 30, 2011, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding indebtedness was 7.5%.
Net Realized Gains/Losses from Investments
For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we had $1.5 million of sales, repayments, exits and restructurings, resulting in $0.1 million of net realized gains.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, we had $16.0 million of sales, repayments, exits and restructurings resulting in $0.5 million of net realized gains.
For the three months ended November 30, 2011, we had $18.4 million of sales, repayments, exits and restructurings, resulting in $5.8 million of net realized losses.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2011, we had $31.9 million of sales, repayments, exits and restructurings resulting in $5.8 million of net realized losses.
Net Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments
For the three months ended November 30, 2012, our investments had a decrease in net unrealized appreciation of $1.8 million versus an increase in net unrealized appreciation of $11.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, our investments had an increase in net unrealized appreciation of $3.2 million versus an increase in net unrealized appreciation of $11.9 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2011.The most significant cumulative changes in unrealized appreciation for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 were the following:

The $1.1 million of unrealized appreciation on our investment in Targus Holdings, Inc. resulted from its improved operating performance and improved trading multiples of comparable publicly traded companies. In addition, the $0.5 million of unrealized appreciation on our investment in Penton Media resulted from its improved operating performance.
The $2.0 million of unrealized appreciation in our investment in the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes was due to higher relative cash flow projections (based on an improvement in the overall portfolio, a decrease in the assumed portfolio default rate) and a reduction in the CLOs cost basis due to distributions during the year offset by a higher discount rate used to present value the cash flows based on current market conditions.
The most significant cumulative changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the nine months ended November 30, 2011 were the following:

The increase in unrealized depreciation in our investments in Pracs Institute, LTD. and Penton Media were due to declining prospects for the companies. The $5.6 million net unrealized appreciation in our investment in the Saratoga CLO subordinated notes was due to higher cash flow projections (based on an improvement in the overall portfolio, a decrease in the assumed portfolio default rate and an improvement in reinvestment assumptions based on current market conditions and projections) and a lower discount rate used to present value the cash flows based on current market conditions.
Changes in Net Assets from Operations
For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.7 million versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $6.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The difference is attributable to increase in net investment income, a decrease in net unrealized appreciation offset by an increase in net investment income for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Based on 3,970,447 and 3,310,021 weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.19 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 versus a per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $1.88 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $8.8 million versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $10.2 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2011. The difference is attributable to an increase in net investment income, a decrease in net unrealized appreciation offset by an increase in net investment income for the nine months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Based on 3,907,696 and 3,287,979 weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $2.25 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 versus a per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $3.10 for the nine months ended November 30, 2011.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Below is a summary of the terms of the senior secured revolving credit facility we entered into with Madison Capital Funding (the Replacement Facility) on June 30, 2010.
Availability. The Company can draw up to the lesser of (i) $40 million (the Facility Amount) and (ii) the product of the applicable advance rate (which varies from 50% to 75% depending on the type of loan asset) and the value, determined in accordance with the Replacement Facility (the Adjusted Borrowing Value), of certain eligible loan assets pledged as security for the loan (the Borrowing Base), in each case less (a) the amount of any undrawn funding commitments the Company has under any loan asset and which are not covered by amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account referred to below (the Unfunded Exposure Amount) and (b) outstanding borrowings. Each loan asset held by the Company as of the date on which the Replacement Facility was closed was valued as of that date and each loan asset that the Company acquires after such date will be valued at the lowest of its fair value, its face value (excluding accrued interest) and the purchase price paid for such loan asset. Adjustments to the value of a loan asset will be made to reflect, among other things, changes in its fair value, a default by the obligor on the loan asset, insolvency of the obligor, acceleration of the loan asset, and certain modifications to the terms of the loan asset.
The Replacement Facility contains limitations on the type of loan assets that are eligible to be included in the Borrowing Base and as to the concentration level of certain categories of loan assets in the Borrowing Base such as restrictions on geographic and industry concentrations, asset size and quality, payment frequency, status and terms, average life, and collateral interests. In addition, if an asset is to remain an eligible loan asset, the Company may not make changes to the payment, amortization, collateral and certain other terms of the loan assets without the consent of the administrative agent that will either result in subordination of the loan asset or be materially adverse to the lenders.
Collateral. The Replacement Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and includes the subordinated notes (CLO Notes) issued by Saratoga CLO and the Companys rights under the CLO Management Agreement (as defined below).
Interest Rate and Fees. Under the Replacement Facility, funds are borrowed from or through certain lenders at the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rate and 2.00%, plus an applicable margin of 5.50%. At the Companys option, funds may be borrowed based on an alternative base rate, which in no event will be less than 3.00%, and the applicable margin over such alternative base rate is 4.50%. In addition, the Company pays the lenders a commitment fee of 0.75% per year on the unused amount of the Replacement Facility for the duration of the Revolving Period (defined below). Accrued interest and commitment fees are payable monthly. The Company is also obligated to pay certain other fees to the lenders in connection with the closing of the Replacement Facility.
Revolving Period and Maturity Date. The Company may make and repay borrowings under the Replacement Facility for a period of three years following the closing of the Replacement Facility (the Revolving Period). The Revolving Period may be terminated at an earlier time by the Company or, upon the occurrence of an event of default, by action of the lenders or automatically. All borrowings and other amounts payable under the Replacement Facility are due and payable in full five years after the end of the Revolving Period.
Collateral Tests. It is a condition precedent to any borrowing under the Replacement Facility that the principal amount outstanding under the Replacement Facility, after giving effect to the proposed borrowings, not exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Facility Amount (the Borrowing Base Test). In addition to satisfying the Borrowing Base Test, the following tests must also be satisfied (together with Borrowing Base Test, the Collateral Tests):
· Interest Coverage Ratio. The ratio (expressed as a percentage) of interest collections with respect to pledged loan assets, less certain fees and expenses relating to the Replacement Facility, to accrued interest and commitment fees and any breakage costs payable to the lenders under the Replacement Facility for the last 6 payment periods must equal at least 175%.
· Overcollateralization Ratio. The ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of eligible pledged loan assets plus the fair value of certain ineligible pledged loan assets and the CLO Notes (in each case, subject to certain adjustments) to outstanding borrowings under the Replacement Facility plus the Unfunded Exposure Amount must equal at least 200%.
· Weighted Average FMV Test. The aggregate adjusted or weighted value of eligible pledged loan assets as a percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of eligible pledged loan assets must be equal to or greater than 72% and 80% during the one-year periods prior to the first and second anniversary of the closing date, respectively, and 85% at all times thereafter.
The Replacement Facility also requires payment of outstanding borrowings or replacement of pledged loan assets upon the Companys breach of its representation and warranty that pledged loan assets included in the Borrowing Base are eligible loan assets. Such payments or replacements must equal the lower of the amount by which the Borrowing Base is overstated as a result of such breach or any deficiency under the Collateral Tests at the time of repayment or replacement. Compliance with the Collateral Tests is also a condition to the discretionary sale of pledged loan assets by the Company.
Priority of Payments. During the Revolving Period, the priority of payments provisions of the Replacement Facility require, after payment of specified fees and expenses and any necessary funding of the Unfunded Exposure Account, that collections of principal from the loan assets and, to the extent that these are insufficient, collections of interest from the loan assets, be applied on each payment date to payment of outstanding borrowings if the Borrowing Base Test, the Overcollateralization Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio would not otherwise be met. Similarly, following termination of the Revolving Period, collections of interest are required to be applied, after payment of certain fees and expenses, to cure any deficiencies in the Borrowing Base Test, the Interest Coverage Ratio and the Overcollateralization Ratio as of the relevant payment date.
Reserve Account. The Replacement Facility requires the Company to set aside an amount equal to the sum of accrued interest, commitment fees and administrative agent fees due and payable on the next succeeding three payment dates (or corresponding to three payment periods). If for any monthly period during which fees and other payments accrue, the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of eligible pledged loan assets which do not pay cash interest at least quarterly exceeds 15% of the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of eligible pledged loan assets, the Company is required to set aside such interest and fees due and payable on the next succeeding six payment dates. Amounts in the reserve account can be applied solely to the payment of administrative agent fees, commitment fees, accrued and unpaid interest and any breakage costs payable to the lenders.
Unfunded Exposure Account. With respect to revolver or delayed draw loan assets, the Company is required to set aside in a designated account (the Unfunded Exposure Account) 100% of its outstanding and undrawn funding commitments with respect to such loan assets. The Unfunded Exposure Account is funded at the time the Company acquires a revolver or delayed draw loan asset and requests a related borrowing under the Replacement Facility. The Unfunded Exposure Account is funded through a combination of proceeds of the requested borrowing and other Company funds, and if for any reason such amounts are insufficient, through application of the priority of payment provisions described above.
Operating Expenses. The priority of payments provision of the Replacement Facility provides for the payment of certain operating expenses of the Company out of collections on principal and interest during the Revolving Period and out of collections on interest following the termination of the Revolving Period in accordance with the priority established in such provision. The operating expenses payable pursuant to the priority of payment provisions is limited to $350,000 for each monthly payment date or $2.5 million for the immediately preceding period of twelve consecutive monthly payment dates. This ceiling can be increased by the lesser of 5% or the percentage increase in the fair market value of all the Companys assets only on the first monthly payment date to occur after each one-year anniversary following the closing of the Replacement Facility. Upon the occurrence of a Manager Event (described below), the consent of the administrative agent is required in order to pay operating expenses through the priority of payments provision.
Events of Default. The Replacement Facility contains certain negative covenants, customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants and events of default. The Replacement Facility does not contain grace periods for breach by the Company of certain covenants, including, without limitation, preservation of existence, negative pledge, change of name or jurisdiction and separate legal entity status of the Company covenants and certain other customary covenants. Other events of default under the Replacement Facility include, among other things, the following:
· an Interest Coverage Ratio of less than 150%;
· an Overcollateralization Ratio of less than 175%;
· the filing of certain ERISA or tax liens;
· the occurrence of certain Manager Events such as:
· failure by SIA and its affiliates to maintain collectively, directly or indirectly, a cash equity investment in the Company in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 at any time prior to the third anniversary of the closing date;
· failure of the management agreement between SIA and the Company to be in full force and effect;
· indictment or conviction of SIA or any key person for a felony offense, or any fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of funds by SIA or any key person and, in the case of key persons, without a reputable, experienced individual reasonably satisfactory to Madison Capital Funding appointed to replace such key person within 30 days;
· resignation, termination, disability or death of a key person or failure of any key person to provide active participation in SIA daily activities, all without a reputable, experienced individual reasonably satisfactory to Madison Capital Funding appointed within 30 days; or
· occurrence of any event constituting cause under the Collateral Management Agreement between the Company and Saratoga CLO (the CLO Management Agreement), delivery of a notice under Section 12(c) of the CLO Management Agreement with respect to the removal of the Company as collateral manager or the Company ceases to act as collateral manager under the CLO Management Agreement.
Conditions to Acquisitions and Pledges of Loan Assets. The Replacement Facility imposes certain additional conditions to the acquisition and pledge of additional loan assets. Among other things, the Company may not acquire additional loan assets without the prior written consent of the administrative agent until such time that the administrative agent indicates in writing its satisfaction with SIAs policies, personnel and processes relating to the loan assets.
Fees and Expenses. The Company paid certain fees and reimbursed Madison Capital Funding for the aggregate amount of all documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, incurred
by Madison Capital Funding in connection with the Replacement Facility and the carrying out of any and all acts contemplated thereunder up to and as of the date of closing of the stock purchase transaction with SIA and certain of its affiliates. These amounts totaled $2.0 million.
On February 24, 2012, we amended the Replacement facility with Madison Capital Funding to, among other things:
· expand the borrowing capacity under the credit facility from $40 million to $45 million;
· extend the Revolving Period from July 30, 2013 to February 24, 2015; and
· remove the condition that we may not acquire additional loan assets without the prior written consent of the administrative agent.
As of November 30, 2012, we had $14.9 million outstanding under the Replacement Facility and $4.0 million SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding (which are discussed below). Our borrowing base under the Replacement Facility was $27.7 million at November 30, 2012.
Our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, was 792.88% as of November 30, 2012 and 587% as of February 29, 2012.
We intend to continue to generate cash primarily from cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less, future borrowings and future offerings of securities.
Although we expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through the net proceeds from future equity offerings, including our dividend reinvestment plan, and issuances of senior securities or future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, we cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital will be successful. In this regard, because our common stock has historically traded at a price below our current net asset value per share and we are limited in our ability to sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, we have been and may continue to be limited in our ability to raise equity capital. Our stockholders approved a proposal at our annual meeting of stockholders held on September 28, 2012 that authorizes us to sell shares of our common stock at an offering price per share to investors that is not less than 85% of our then current net asset value per share in one or more offerings for a period ending on the earlier of September 28, 2013 or the date of our next annual meeting of stockholders. We would need stockholder approval of a similar proposal to issue shares below net asset value per share at any time after the earlier of September 27, 2012 or our next annual meeting of stockholders.
In addition, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income in order to satisfy the distribution requirement applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. In satisfying this distribution requirement, we have in the past relied on IRS issued private letter rulings concluding that a RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder may elect to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or stock of the RIC subject to a limitation on the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders, which limitation must be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution. We may rely on these IRS private letter rulings in future periods to satisfy our RIC distribution requirement.
Also, as a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to total senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any outstanding preferred stock, of at least 200%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. To fund growth in our investment portfolio in the future, we anticipate needing to raise additional capital from various sources, including the equity markets and other debt-related markets, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Consequently, we may not have the funds or the ability to fund new investments, to make additional investments in our portfolio companies, to fund our unfunded commitments to portfolio companies or to repay borrowings. Also, the illiquidity of our portfolio investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments when desired and, if we are required to sell these investments, we may realize significantly less than their recorded value.
Finally, in light of the conditions in the financial markets and the U.S. economy overall, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, sought and obtained a license from the SBA to operate an SBIC. In this regard, on March 28, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC, LP, received a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC under Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. SBICs are designated to stimulate the flow of private
equity capital to eligible small businesses. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses.
The SBIC license allows our SBIC subsidiary to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA-guaranteed debentures are non-recourse, interest only debentures with interest payable semi-annually and have a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures is not required to be paid prior to maturity but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA-guaranteed debentures is fixed on a semi-annual basis at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with 10-year maturities.
SBA regulations currently limit the amount that our SBIC subsidiary may borrow to a maximum of $150 million when it has at least $75 million in regulatory capital, receives a capital commitment from the SBA and has been through an examination by the SBA subsequent to licensing. As of November 30, 2012, our SBIC subsidiary had $25 million in regulatory capital and $4.0 million SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding.
We received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission to permit us to exclude the debt of our SBIC subsidiary guaranteed by the SBA from the definition of senior securities in the 200% asset coverage test under the 1940 Act. This allows us increased flexibility under the 200% asset coverage test by permitting us to borrow up to $150 million more than we would otherwise be able to absent the receipt of this exemptive relief.
We cannot provide any assurance that these measures will provide sufficient sources of liquidity to support our operations and growth given the continued instability in the financial markets and the weak U.S. economy.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, including unfunded commitments to extend credit to third-parties, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risks have not changed materially from the risks reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2012.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in facilitating timely decisions regarding required disclosure of any material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(b) There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On August 31, 2012, a complaint was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York by GSC Acquisition Holdings, LLC against us to recover, among other things, approximately $2.6 million for the benefit of the estates and the general unsecured creditors of GSC Group, Inc. and its affiliates, including the Companys former investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P. The complaint alleges that the former investment adviser made a constructively fraudulent transfer of $2.6 million in deferred incentive fees by waiving them in connection with the termination of an investment advisory and management agreement with us, and that the termination of the investment advisory and management agreement was itself a fraudulent transfer. These transfers, the complaint alleges, were made without receipt of reasonably equivalent value and while the former investment adviser was insolvent. The complaint has not yet been served, and the plaintiffs motion for authority to prosecute the case on behalf of the estates was taken under advisement by the court on October 1, 2012. We opposed that motion. We believe that the claims in this lawsuit are without merit and, if the plaintiff is authorized to proceed, intend to vigorously defend against this action.
Except as discussed above, neither we nor our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Saratoga Investment Funding LLC and Saratoga Investment Corp. SBIC LP, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2012.
