GSC INVESTMENT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2009
May 31, 2010

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

GSC Investment Corp. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) is a non-diversified closed-endclosed 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 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”“code”). We expect to continue to qualify and to elect to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC. Our investment objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments by primarily investing in private middle market companies and select high yield bonds.

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, the LLC was merged with and into the Company in accordance with the procedure for such merger in the LLC’s limited liability company agreement and Maryland law. In connection with such merger, each outstanding common share of the LLC was converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company and the Company is the surviving entity.

We are externally managed and advised by our investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P. (individually and collectively with its affiliates, “GSC Group” or the “Manager”), pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement.

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 special purpose financing subsidiaries,subsidiary, GSC Investment Funding, LLC and GSC Investment Funding II, LLC. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the “Company,” “we,” and “us” in the financial statements encompassencompassing of these 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP 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)revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ 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.

13



12


Cash and cash equivalents, Securitization Accounts

Cash and cash equivalents, securitization 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 securitized investments or other reserved amounts associated with the Company’s securitization facilities. The Company is required to use a portion of these amounts to pay interest expense, reduce borrowings, or pay other amounts in accordance with the related securitization agreements. Cash held in such accounts may not be available for the general use of the Company.
Risk Management
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of potential adverse changes to the value of investments because of changes in market conditions such as interest rate movements and volatility in investment prices.
Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies equivalent to the investment’s carrying amount.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash and cash equivalents including those in securitization accounts at a major financial institution and credit risk related to the derivative counterparty.
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.
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 or Affiliated Investments.

Investment Valuation

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 825 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”), approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.statements of assets and liabilities.

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 make a fair value determination to reflect significant events or conditions affecting the value of these investments. We value investments for which market quotations are not readily available as stated above at fair value as determined, in good faith, by our board of directors based on input from our Manager, our audit committee and, if our board or audit committee so request, 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 a fair value pricing include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s 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 and preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management; and

14


An independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors reviews at least 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 investment adviser 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 discuss the valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in good faith based on the input of our investment adviser, independent valuation firm (if applicable) and audit committee.

The audit committee of our board of directors reviews each preliminary valuation and our investment adviser 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 discuss the valuations and determine the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of our investment adviser, independent valuation firm (if applicable) and audit committee.

(“GSCIC 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 similar CLO equity, when available, as determined by our investment advisor and recommended to our board of directors.

Because thesesuch 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 by our board of directors may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed and such differences could be material.
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 may ultimately realize upon the disposal of such investments.

We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 (previously, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”).815. ASC 815 requires recognizing all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheetsstatement 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 statement 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. If any cash is received after it is determined that interest is no longer collectible, we will treat the cash as payment on the principal balance until the entire principal balance has been repaid, before any interest income is recognized. 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. A reserve for accruedAccrued interest is generally madereserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. However, the Company may also establish a reserve against accrued interest on currently performing loans if there is doubt regarding future collectability. For the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company established a reserve against accrued interest of $1.9 million. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as a reduction in principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Interest income on our investment in GSCIC CLO is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provision of ASC 325, (previously, EITF 99-20), 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-

15


investments,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 includes in income certain amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as contractual paid-in-kind interest (“PIK”), which represents contractually deferred interest added to the principalinvestment balance that is generally due at maturity. We stop accruing PIK 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 each respective credit facility have been deferred and are being amortized using the straight line method over the life of each respective facility. For the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company amortized $0.6 million of deferred financing costs of which $0.5 million related to the write off of all remaining deferred credit facility financing costs due to the default of Company’s revolving credit facility.

Indemnifications

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.
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 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 we do not distribute at least 98% of our investment company taxableordinary income in any calendar year and 98% of our 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, we 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, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of
We adopted ASC Topic 740, including accounting for uncertain tax positions (previously, FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“ASC 740”). on February 28, 2008.  ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold that an uncertain tax position is required to meet before tax benefits associated with such uncertain tax position are recognized in an enterprise’sthe consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurementstatements.

We classify interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income taxes.
Dividends

Dividends to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for reinvestment.

The Company has 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”‘‘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 the Company’s common stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation, the plan administrator will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase common stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the account of each Participant.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, “Subsequent Events”), which addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events. ASC 855 requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued, depending on the Company’s expectation of whether it will widely distribute its financial statements to its shareholders and other financial statement users. Companies are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”,(“ (“SFAS No. 166”) which amends the derecognition guidance in SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”,eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” (“QSPE”) and requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions as well as a company’s continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 has not yet beenis now codified and in accordance with ASC 105, remains authoritative guidance until such time that it is integrated in the FASB ASC. SFAS No. 166 is860. The amended requirements are effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 and early adoption is prohibited.

In June 2009,January 2010, the FASB issued SFASASU No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46)”2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“SFAS No. 167”),ASU 2010-06” ), which amends the consolidation guidance applicableASC 820 and requires additional disclosure related to variable interest entities. The amendments will significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51, which is codified in FASB ASC 810, Consolidation” (“ASC 810”),recurring and change the way entities account for securitizations and special purpose entities as a result of the elimination of the QSPE concept in SFAS No. 166.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our interim consolidated financial statements of adopting SFAS No. 167.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, (previously SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”) ASC 105 establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP in the United States (the “GAAP hierarchy”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority and the GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods endingbeginning after SeptemberDecember 15, 2009.

Risk Management

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of potential adverse changes to the value of investments because of changes in market conditions such as interest rate movements and volatility in investment prices.

Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies equivalent to the investment’s carrying amount.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash and cash equivalents including those in securitization accounts at a major financial institution and credit risk related to the derivative counterparty.

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 Company’s significant accounting policies or its results of operations or financial position.issuer.

Note 3. Going Concern

As of November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010, the Company remained in default on its Revolving Facility (see Note 7) and as a result of the default, our lender has the right to accelerate repayment of the outstanding indebtedness and to foreclose and liquidate the collateral pledged thereunder. Acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness and/or liquidation of the collateral would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and operations. The deleveraging of the Company may significantly impair the Company’s ability to effectively operate. There is no assurance that we will have sufficient funds available to pay in full the total amount of obligations that

17


would become due as a result of such acceleration or that we will be able to obtain additional or alternative financing to pay or refinance any such accelerated obligations.
However, we continue to believe that we will have adequate liquidity to continue to fund our operations and the interest payments on our outstanding debt, including any default interest. We continue

On April 14, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors, LLC (“Saratoga”) and CLO Partners LLC (“CLO Partners”) and announced a $55 million recapitalization plan to have discussionscure the debt default. The recapitalization plan includes Saratoga and CLO Partners purchasing approximately 9.8 million shares of common stock of GSC Investment Corp. for $1.52 per share pursuant to a definitive stock purchase agreement and a commitment from Madison Capital Funding LLC to provide the Company with our lender regarding resolutionsa $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Upon the closing of the default.transaction, the Company will immediately borrow funds under the new credit facility that, when added to the $15 million equity investment, will be sufficient to repay the full amount of the Company's existing debt and to provide the Company with working capital thereafter. The Companyplan is also working with the investment banking firm Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, which it retainedsubject to evaluate strategic transaction opportunities and consider alternatives. We are focused on resolving the default and continuing to exist as a going concern.shareholder approval.

A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. This principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent. In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis unless we intend to liquidate or have no other alternative but to liquidate. Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of this uncertainty or our debt restructuring activities.

Note 4. Investments

The Company values all investments in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) (previously, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”). ASC 820 requires enhanced disclosures about investmentsassets 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 provides guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability, and identifying transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis and/or significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be required at the measurement date under current market conditions.

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 the fair valuefollowing information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable-market data is available, 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 Level III information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The inputs into 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 Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we continue to employ the valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.

Note 5. Investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd.

On January 22, 2008, we invested $30 million in all of the outstanding subordinated notes of GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd., (the “GSCIC CLO”), a $400 million CLO managed by us that invests primarily in senior secured loans. Additionally, we entered into a collateral management agreement with GSCIC CLO pursuant to which we will 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 GSCIC CLO’s 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 GSCIC CLO subordinated notes receive an internal rate of return equal to or greater than 12%. For the three and nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 we accrued $0.5 and $1.5$0.5 million in management feesfee income, respectively and $0.4$0.7 and $1.7$0.9 million in interest income, respectively. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, we accrued $0.5 and $1.5 million in management fees and $1.5 and $3.2 million in interest income, respectively.respectively, from GSCIC CLO. We did not earnaccrue any amounts related to the incentive management fee as the 12% hurdle rate has not yet been achieved.

Note 6. Agreements

On March 21, 2007, the Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with GSC Group.Group, our investment advisor. 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. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our investment adviser 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 investment adviser is responsible for, among other duties, determining investment criteria, sourcing, analyzing and executing investments transactions, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under the Management Agreement, we have agreed to pay our investment adviser 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 total 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 (not including excise taxes), expressed as a rate of return on the value of the 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. Under this provision, in any fiscal quarter, our investment adviser receives no incentive fee unless our pre-incentive fee net investment income, as defined above, exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.875%. Amounts received as a return of capital are not included in calculating this portion of the incentive fee. Since the hurdle rate is based on net assets, a return of less than the hurdle rate on total assets may still result in an incentive fee.

20



The second, payable at the end of each fiscal year equals 20% of our net realized capital gains, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation, in each case on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of such incentive fees paid to the investment adviser through such date.

19


We will defer cash payment of any incentive fee otherwise earned by our investment adviser if, during the most recent four full fiscal quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the sum of (a) our aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) our change in net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities) (before taking into account any incentive fees payable during that period) is less than 7.5% of our net assets at the beginning of such period. These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for the first three fiscal quarters of operation and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable period. Such incentive fee will become payable on the next date on which such test has been satisfied for the most recent four full fiscal quarters or upon certain terminations of the Management Agreement.investment advisory and management agreement.
For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2009 we incurred $0.5 and $1.5 million in base management fees, respectively.
For the three months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 we incurred no incentive$0.4 and $0.5 million in base management fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income.fees. For the ninethree months ended November 30,May 31, 2009 we incurred $0.3 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income.  For the three and nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, we incurred no incentive management fees related to net realized capital gains.  As of November 30, 2009, $0.5May 31, 2010 $0.9 million of base management fees and $2.6 million of incentive fees were unpaid and included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.statement of assets and liabilities.
For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, we incurred $0.7 and $2.1 million in base management fees and $0.5 and $1.3 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, we incurred no incentive management fees related to net realized capital gains.
As of November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010, the end of the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal year 2010,2011, the sum of our aggregate distributions to our stockholders and our change in net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities) (before taking into account any incentive fees payable during that period) was less than 7.5% of our net assets at the beginning of the thirdfirst fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2009.2010. Accordingly, the payment of the incentive fee for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 was deferred.May 31, 2010 has been deferred along with all previously deferred incentive fees. The total deferred incentive fee payable at November 30, 2009 isMay 31, 2010 was $2.6 million.

On March 21, 2007, the Company entered into a separate administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with GSC Group, pursuant to which GSC Group, 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. Our allocable portion is based on the proportion that our total assets bears to the total assets or a subset of total assets administered by our administrator.

For the three and nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 we incurredexpensed $0.2 and $0.5$0.2 million of administrator expenses, respectively, pertaining to bookkeeping, record keeping and other administrative services provided to the Company in addition to our allocable portion of rent and other overhead related expenses. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 we incurred $0.2 and $0.8 million of administrator expenses, respectively. GSC Group has agreed not to be reimbursed by the Company for any expenses incurred in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement until the Company’s total assets exceeds $500 million.  Additionally, the Company’s requirement to reimburse GSC Group is capped such that the amounts payable, together with the Company’s other operating expenses, will not exceed an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of the Company’s net assets attributable to the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, for the three and nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, we have recorded $0.2 and $0.5$0.2 million in expense waiver and reimbursement, respectively, under the Administration Agreement in the accompanying consolidated statementsstatement of operations. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 we have recorded $0.2 and $0.8 million in expense waiver and reimbursement, respectively.

On March 23, 2007, the Manager provided the Company with a Notification of Fee Reimbursement (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”). The Expense Reimbursement Agreement provides for the Manager to reimburse the Company for operating expenses to the extent that our total annual operating expenses (other than investment advisory and management fees, interest and credit facility expenses, and organizational expense) exceed an amount equal to 1.55% of our net assets attributable to common stock. The Manager is not entitled to recover any reimbursements under this agreement in future periods.  The term of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement is for a period of 12 months beginning March 23, 2007 and for each twelve monthmonths period thereafter unless otherwise

agreed by the Manager and the Company. On April 15, 2008, the Manager and the Company agreed not to extend the agreement for an additional twelve month period and terminated the Expense Reimbursement Agreement as of March 23, 2008. For the three months ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, we recorded $0.2 and $0.2 million in expense waiver and reimbursement, respectively under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Note 7. Borrowings

As a BDC, we are only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage. 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 formed GSC Investment Funding LLC (“GSC Funding”), a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, through which we entered into a revolving securitized credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with Deutsche Bank AG, as administrative agent, under which we may borrow up to $100 million. A significant percentage of our total assets have been pledged under the Revolving Facility to secure our obligations thereunder. Under the Revolving Facility, funds arewere borrowed from or through certain lenders and interest is payable monthly at prevailingthe greater of the commercial paper ratesrate and our lender’s prime rate plus 4.00% plus a default rate of 2.00% or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, atthe greater of the prevailing LIBOR rates and our lender’s prime rate plus 0.70% payable monthly. As6.00% plus a default rate of November 30, 2009, there was $43.8 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. As of February 28, 2009, there was $59.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2009, we recorded $1.1 and $2.6 million of interest expense, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2009, we recorded $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, and the interest rates during the quarter on the outstanding borrowings was 9.25%. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded $0.6 and $2.0 million of interest expense and $43,964 and $132,858 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, respectively, and the interest rates during the quarter on the outstanding borrowings ranged from 3.34% to 5.22%3.00%.
On May 1, 2007, we formed GSC Investment Funding II LLC (“GSC Funding II”), a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, through which we entered into a $25.7 million term securitized credit facility (the “Term Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”) with Deutsche Bank AG, as administrative agent, which was fully drawn at closing. A significant percentage of our total assets were pledged under the Term Facility to secure our obligations thereunder. The Term Facility bears interest at prevailing commercial paper rates or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, at prevailing LIBOR rates, plus 0.70%, payable quarterly.
Each of the Facilities contain limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used, such as restrictions on industry concentrations, asset size, payment frequency and status, average life, collateral interests and investment ratings. The Facilities also include certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, the violation of which could result in the early amortization of the Facilities, limit further advances (in the case of the Revolving Facility) and, in some cases, result in an event of default, allowing the lenders to accelerate repayment of amounts owed thereunder.
On December 12, 2007, the Company consolidated its Facilities by using the proceeds of a draw under the Revolving Facility to repay and terminate the Term Facility and transferring all assets in GSC Funding II to GSC Funding. The Company’s aggregate indebtedness and cost of funding were unchanged as a result of this consolidation.
In March 2009 we amended the Revolving Credit Facility to increase the portion of the portfolio that can be invested in “CCC”"CCC" rated investments in return for an increased interest rate and expedited amortization.  As a result of these transactions, it waswe expected that we wouldto have additional cushion under our Borrowing Base (as defined below) that would allow us to better manage our capital in times of declining asset prices and market dislocation. If we continue to be unableare not able to obtain new sources of financing, however, we expect our portfolio will gradually de-lever as principal payments are received, which may negatively impact our net investment income and ability to pay dividends.
At November 30, 2009 and February 28, 2009, we had $43.8 million and $59.0 million in borrowings under the Revolving Facility, respectively. The actual amount that may be outstanding at any given time (the “Borrowing Base”) is dependent upon the amount and quality of the collateral securing the Revolving Facility. Our Borrowing Base was $12.1 million at November 30, 2009 versus $59.9 million at February 28, 2009. The decline in our Borrowing Base during this period is mainly attributable to the decline in the value of the pledged collateral and the downgrade of certain public ratings or private credit estimates of the pledged collateral.
For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, most assets are assigned the values set forth in our most recent quarterly report filed with the SEC. Accordingly, the November 30, 2009 Borrowing Base relies upon the valuations set forth in the August 31, 2009

22


quarterly report. The valuations presented in this quarterly report will not be incorporated into the Borrowing Base until after this report is filed with the SEC.
On July 30, 2009 we exceeded the permissible borrowing limit for 30 consecutive days, resulting in an event of default under our Revolving Facility that is continuing. As a result of this event of default, our lender has the right to accelerate repayment of the outstanding indebtedness under and Revolving Facility and to foreclose and liquidate the collateral pledged thereunder. Acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness and/or liquidation of the collateral would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and operations. As a result of the continuing default, the Company may be forced to sell its investments to raise funds to repay outstanding amounts. Such forced sales may result in values that could be less than carrying values reported in these financial statements. The deleveraging of the Company may significantly impair the Company’s ability to effectively operate. Please see Part II,I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—An event of default under the Revolving Facility may lead to a forced liquidation of the pledged assets that may yield less than the fair value of the assets” in the quarterly reportour Annual Report on form 10-Q10-K for the quarterly periodyear ended May 31, 2009February 28, 2010 for more information. Our lender has elected not to accelerate the obligation to date, but has reserved the right to do so. We continue to discuss possible solutions

At May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010 we had $33.8 million and $37.0 million in borrowings under the Revolving Facility, respectively. The actual amount that may be outstanding at any given time (the “Borrowing Base”) is dependent upon the amount and quality of the collateral securing the Revolving Facility. Our Borrowing Base was $6.1 million at May 31, 2010 versus $1.7 million at February 28, 2010. The increase in our Borrowing Base during the quarter is mainly attributable to the eventchange in classification of defaultcertain defaulted assets that resulted in a higher collateral value per the Borrowing Base calculation.

21


For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, most assets are assigned the values set forth in our most recent quarterly report filed with our lender.the SEC. Accordingly, the May 31, 2010 Borrowing Base relies upon the valuations set forth in the annual report for the year ended February 28, 2010. The valuations presented in this quarterly report will not be incorporated into the Borrowing Base until after this report is filed with the SEC.

During the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate on the Revolving Facility is increased from the commercial paper rate plus 4.00% to the greater of the commercial paper rate and our lender’s prime rate plus 4.00% plus a default rate of 2.00% or, if the commercial paper market is unavailable, the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rates and our lender’s prime rate plus 6.00% plus a default rate of 3.00%. For the three months ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, we recorded $0.8 and $0.6 million of interest expense. For the three months ended May 31, 2009, we recorded $71,320 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility. For the three months ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, the interest rates on the outstanding borrowings were 9.25% and a range of 4.52% to 4.73%, respectively.

Note 8. Interest Rate Cap Agreements

In April and May 2007, pursuant to the requirements of the Facilities, GSC Funding and GSC Funding II entered into interest rate cap agreements with Deutsche Bank AG with notional amounts of $34.0$34 million and $60.9 million at costs of $75,000, and $44,000, respectively. In May 2007 GSC Funding increased the notional under its agreement from $34.0$34 million to $40.0$40 million for an additional cost of $12,000. The agreements expire in February 2014 and November 2013 respectively. These interest rate caps are treated as free-standing derivatives under ASC 815 and are presented at their fair value on the consolidated balance sheetstatement of assets and liabilities and the changes in their fair value are included on the consolidated statement of operations.

The agreements provide for a payment to the Company in the event LIBOR exceeds 8%, mitigating our exposure to increases in LIBOR. With respect to calculating the payments under these agreements, the notional amount is determined based on a pre-determined schedule set forth in the respective agreements which provides for a reduction in the notional at specified dates until the maturity of the agreements. As of November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010 we did not receive any such payments as the LIBOR has not exceeded 8%.  At November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010, the total notional outstanding for the interest rate caps was $66.4$63.2 million with an aggregate fair value of $0.07 million,$22,278, which is recorded in outstanding interest cap at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.statement of assets and liabilities. For the three and nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, the Company recorded $0.02 million$19,869 of unrealized depreciation and $0.03 million$35,687 of unrealized appreciation respectively, on derivatives in the consolidated statement of operations related to the change in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements.

Note 9. 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.” For the three and nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, we accrued $0.07$0.1 and $0.2$0.1 million for directorsdirectors’ fees expense.expense, respectively.  As of November 30,May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2009, $110,500 and $54,000 in directors’ fees expense were unpaid and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of May 31, 2010, we had not issued any common stock to our directors as compensation for their services.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

On May 16, 2006, GSC Group capitalized the LLC, by contributing $1,000 in exchange for 67 shares, constituting all of the issued and outstanding shares of the LLC.

On March 20, 2007, the Company issued 959,955 and 81,362 shares of common stock, priced at $15.00 per share, to GSC Group and certain individual employees of GSC Group, respectively, in exchange for the general partnership interest and a limited partnership interest in GSC Partners CDO III GP, LP, collectively valued at $15.6 million. At this time, the 67 shares owned by GSC Group in the LLC were exchanged for 67 shares of GSC Investment Corp.

On March 28, 2007, the Company completed its IPO of 7,250,000 shares of common stock, priced at $15.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Total proceeds received from the IPO, net of $7.1 million in underwriter’s discount and commissions, and $1.0 million in offering costs, were $100.7 million.

On November 13, 2009, we declared a dividend of $1.825 per share payable on December 31, 2009. 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 $2.1 million or $0.25 per share. Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of $2.1 million in cash and 8,648,725 of newly issued shares of common stock.

Note 11. 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.
On November 13, 2009, we declared a dividend of $1.825 per share payable on December 31, 2009. 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 $2.1 million or $0.25 per share.
Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of $2.1 million in cash and 8,648,725 shares of common stock, or 104% 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 13.7% 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 $1.5099 per share, which equaled the volume weighted average trading price per share of the common stock on December 24 and 28, 2009. The financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2009 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.

In April 2009, our investment adviser withheld a scheduled principal amortization payment under its credit facility, resulting in a default thereunder.  Since then, our investment adviser and its secured lenders have been in negotiations regarding a consensual restructuring of its obligations under such credit facility. While we are not directly affected by our investment adviser’s default, if it is unable to restructure its credit facility, or an acceleration of the outstanding principal balance by the lenders occurs, the ability of the investment adviser to retain key individuals and perform its investment advisory duties for us could be significantly impaired.
Note 15. Subsequent Events
For the third quarter of 2009, the Company evaluated subsequent events through January 14, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued.
On DecemberJune 7, 20092010, the Company repaid $0.5$0.1 million of the outstanding borrowings primarily from excess interest collections.related to the credit facility.

On December 31, 2009, we paid a dividend of $1.825 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2009. Shareholders had until December 17, 2009 to elect whether to receive the dividend in cash (up to an aggregate maximum cash amount of approximately $2.1 million or approximately 13.7% of the total dividend paid) or in shares of common stock.

Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of $2.1 million in cash and 8,648,725 shares of common stock, or 104% 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 13.7% 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 $1.5099 per share, which equaled the volume weighted average trading price per share of the common stock on December 24 and 28, 2009. As previously mentioned in Note 11 the financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2009 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the increase in common stock as a result of the dividend.
Shareholders who elected to receive the dividend solely in shares of common stock and shareholders who did not make an election will receive 1.209 shares of common stock for each share of common stock they owned on the record date. Holders of approximately 39% of the Company’s common stock elected to receive only stock or did not make an election.
Shareholders electing to receive the dividend in all cash, will receive cash in the amount of $0.411 per share or 22.5% of the $1.825 dividend and 0.936 shares of common stock or 77.5% of the total dividend for each share of common stock they owned on the record date.

Overview
Overview

GSC Investment Corp. is 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”). The Company is the successor by merger to GSC Investment, LLC (the “LLC”), a Maryland limited liability company that had elected to be regulated as a BDC, which was merged into the Company concurrently with the Company’s incorporation on March 21, 2007. As a result of the merger, each outstanding common share of the LLC was converted into an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and capital

appreciation through debt and equity investments by primarily investing in middle market companies and select high yield bonds. We have elected and qualified to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapterSubchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We commenced operations on March 23, 2007 and completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) on March 28, 2007. We are externally managed and advised by our investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P. (together with certain of its affiliates, “GSC Group”).

We used the net proceeds of our IPO to purchase approximately $100.7 million in aggregate principal amount of debt investments from GSC Partners CDO Fund III, Limited (“CDO Fund III”), a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) fund managed by our investment adviser. We used borrowings under our credit facilitiesFacilities (as defined below) to purchase approximately $115.1 million in aggregate principal amount of debt investments in April and May 2007 from CDO Fund III and GSC Partners CDO Fund Limited (“CDO Fund I”), a collateralized debt obligation fund managed by our investment adviser. As of November 30, 2009, our portfolio consisted of $103.3 million of investments at fair value, in 29 portfolio companies and one CLO.

Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in leveraged loans (comprised of both first and second lien leveraged loansterm loans) issued by middle market companies and high yield bonds. Our strategy has beenWe seek to create a diversified portfolio by investing up to 5% of our total assets in each investment, although the investment sizes may be more or less than the targeted range. These investments have beenare sourced in both the primary and secondary markets through a network of relationships with commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies and financial sponsors. Due to constraints imposed by our Revolving Facility, we have had limited investment activity in both the primary and secondary markets. The leveraged loans and high yield bonds that we purchase are generally used to finance buyouts, acquisitions, growth, recapitalizations and other types of transactions. Leveraged loans are generally senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt of the portfolio company. Leveraged loans also have the benefit of security interests on the assets of the portfolio company, which may rank ahead of, or be junior to, other security interests. High yield bonds are typically subordinated to leveraged loans and generally unsecured, though a substantial amount of the high yield bonds that we currently own are secured. Substantially all of the debt investments held in our portfolio hold a non-investment grade rating by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and/or Standard & Poor’s or, if not rated, would be rated below investment grade if rated. High yield bonds rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” As part of our long-term strategy, we also anticipate purchasing mezzanine debt and making equity investments in middle market companies. Mezzanine debt is typically unsecured and subordinated to senior debt of the portfolio company. For purposes of this quarterly report, we generally use the term “middle market” to refer to companies with annual EBITDA of between $5 million and $50 million. EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Investments in middle market companies are generally less liquid than equivalent investments in companies with larger capitalizations.

While our primary focus is to generate current income and capital appreciation through investments in debt and equity securities of middle market companies and high yield bonds, we intend to invest up to 30% of our total assets in opportunistic investments. Opportunistic investments may include investments in distressed debt, debt and equity securities of public companies, credit default swaps, emerging market debt, and structured finance vehicles, including CLOs. As part of this 30%, we may also invest in debt of middle market companies located outside the United States. Given our primary investment focus on first and second lien term loans issued by middle market companies and high yield bonds, we believe our opportunistic investments will allow us to supplement our core investments with other investments that are within our investment adviser’s expertise that we believe offer attractive yields and/or the potential for capital appreciation. As of November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010, our investment in the subordinated notes of GSC Investment Corp.GSCIC CLO, 2007, Ltd. (“GSCIC CLO”), a CLO we manage, constituted 18.7%20.2% of our total assets.investments. We do not expect to manage and purchase all of the equity in another CLO transaction in the near future. We may, however, invest in CLO securities issued by other investment managers.

As of May 31, 2010, our portfolio consisted of $89.9 million in investments. We seek to create a diversified portfolio that includes leveraged loans, mezzanine debt and high yield bonds by investing up to 5% of our total investments in each portfolio company, although the investment sizes may be more or less than the targeted range. As of May 31, 2010, we invested in excess of 5% of our total investments in 6 of the 27 portfolio companies and the GSCIC CLO, but in each case less than 20.2% of our total investments, and our five largest portfolio company exposures represented approximately 49.9% of our total investments.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of U.S. operating companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange (i.e., New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and The NASDAQ Global Market), U.S. operating companies with listed securities that have market capitalizations of less than $250 million, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities (excluding borrowings) to total borrowings, equals at least 200% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions.

Significant Developments in Our Business
Since the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 (November 30, 2008), due to constraints imposed by our Revolving Facility (as defined below), we have had limited investment activity in both the primary and secondary markets.  The Company is working with the investment banking firm of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, which it retained to evaluate strategic transaction opportunities and consider alternatives. There is no assurance that the exploration and evaluation of strategic opportunities and alternatives will result in any transaction.
On July 30, 2009, we exceeded permissible borrowing limits for 30 consecutive days, resulting in an event of default under our credit facility. During the continuancefacility that is continuing as of anMay 31, 2010.  As a result of this event of default, our lender has the interest rate on the Revolving Facility is increased from the

commercial paper rate plus 4.00%right to the greateraccelerate repayment of the commercial paper rateoutstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and our lender’s prime rate plus 4.00% plus a default rate of 2.00% or, ifto foreclose and liquidate the commercial paper market is unavailable, the greatercollateral pledged thereunder.  Acceleration of the prevailing LIBOR ratesoutstanding indebtedness and/or liquidation of the collateral would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and operations.  As of the date of this quarterly report, our lender’s prime rate plus 6.00% pluslender has not accelerated the debt, but has reserved the right to do so.  There is no assurance that we will have sufficient funds available to pay in full the total amount of obligations that would become due as a default rateresult of 3.00%. Under this formula, for the three months ended November 30, 2009, the interest rate on the Revolving Facility was 9.25%.such acceleration or that we will be able to obtain additional or alternative financing to pay or refinance any such accelerated obligations. 

Substantially all of our assets other than our investment in the subordinated notes of GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd. ("GSCIC CLOCLO") are held in a special purpose subsidiary and pledged under our Revolving Facility.  We commenced the two year amortization period under the Revolving Facility in January 2009, during which time all principal proceeds from the pledged assets are used to repay the Revolving Facility. In addition, during the continuance of an event of default, all interest proceeds from the pledged assets are also used to repay the Revolving Facility.  As a result, the Company is required to fund isits operating expenses and dividends solely from cash on hand, management fees earned from, and the proceeds of the subordinated notes of, GSCIC CLO.  Please see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Continuance of an Event of Default under our Revolving Facility and/or deferral of payments from GSCIC CLO may result in a shortage of working capital” in this quarterly report for more information.
     As of November 30, 2009, the Company remained in default on its Revolving Facility and as a result of the default, our lender has the right to accelerate repayment of the outstanding indebtedness and to foreclose and liquidate the collateral pledged thereunder. Acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness and/or liquidation of the collateral would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and operations. Please see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—An event of default under the Revolving Facility may lead to a forced liquidation of the pledged assets that may yield less than the fair value of the assets” in the quarterly report on form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2009 for more information. To date, our lender has not accelerated the debt, but has reserved the right to do so. The deleveraging of the Company may significantly impair the Company’s ability to effectively operate. There is no assurance

On April 14, 2010, the Company announced that we will have sufficient funds availableit entered into a definitive agreement with Saratoga Investment Advisors, LLC (“Saratoga”) to pay in full the total amount of obligationsexecute a $55 million recapitalization plan that would become duecure the existing bank default.  Please see “Proposed Saratoga Transaction” below for more information.

In a report dated May 27, 2010, our independent registered public accountants have determined that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of such acceleration or thatour remaining in default of our Revolving Facility.  Please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks related to our liquidity and financial condition” in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2010 for more information.

Proposed Saratoga Transaction
On April 14, 2010, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (“the Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Saratoga and CLO Partners LLC (together with Saratoga, the “Investors”) and an assignment, assumption and novation agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Saratoga, pursuant to which we assumed certain rights and obligations of Saratoga under the debt commitment letter (the “Madison Commitment Letter”) Saratoga received from Madison Capital Funding LLC (“Madison”), indicating Madison’s willingness to provide the Company with a $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Replacement Facility”), subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions.  We refer to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement collectively as the “Saratoga Transaction.”
If the conditions to closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement are satisfied, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we will issue and sell to the Investors 9,868,422 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15,000,000 at a price of $1.52 per share, in a private transaction that is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D thereunder.  Concurrently with the closing of the Saratoga Transaction and pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we will (i) enter into the Replacement Facility with Madison; (ii) enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investors; (iii) enter into a trademark license agreement with Saratoga or one of its affiliates; and (iv) replace GSCP (NJ), L.P. as the Company’s investment adviser with Saratoga Investment Advisors, LLC, by executing the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, subject to stockholder approval, and as the Company’s administrator with an affiliate of Saratoga by executing an Administration Agreement.  The Company and its current investment adviser, GSCP (NJ), L.P., have entered into a Termination and Release Agreement, to be ableeffective as of the closing, pursuant to obtain additional or alternative financingwhich GSCP (NJ), L.P., among other things, has agreed to waive any and all accrued and unpaid deferred incentive management fees up to and as of the closing of the Saratoga Transaction but will continue to receive the base management fees earned through the date of the closing.

28

In addition, as a condition to closing of the Saratoga Transaction and in each case to be effective as of the closing, the Company is required to procure 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 and to elect Christian L. Oberbeck and Richard A. Petrocelli, both of whom are affiliates of Saratoga, as members of the Board (the “Saratoga Directors”).  The Saratoga Directors will be elected by the Board to fill the vacancies created by the resignations described above and the Saratoga Directors will be appointed to the class of directors as determined by the Board in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents.  The Company’s stockholders will have the opportunity to vote for each of the Saratoga Directors when his class of directors is up for reelection.  In addition, all officers of the Company will resign at closing and the Board will appoint Mr. Oberbeck as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Petrocelli as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer.
Promptly after closing of the Saratoga Transaction, the Company will change its name from “GSC Investment Corp.” to “Saratoga Investment Corp.” and the Company intends to undertake a one-for-ten reverse stock split, pursuant to which each stockholder will receive one share of our common stock in exchange for every ten shares owned at that time.  After giving effect to the shares of common stock issued in connection with the Saratoga Transaction and the one-for-ten reverse stock split, the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding will be approximately 2.7 million.
The Company will use the net proceeds from the Saratoga Transaction and a portion of the funds available to it under the Replacement Facility to pay or refinance any such accelerated obligations.
     However, we continue to believe that we will have adequate liquidity to continue to fundthe full amount of principal and accrued interest, including default interest, outstanding under our operationsRevolving Facility due and the interest payments on our outstanding debt, including any default interest. We continue to have discussions with our lender regarding resolutionspayable as of the default. Thedate of closing.
Following completion of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Investors and certain individuals affiliated with Saratoga and Saratoga Partners, including Messrs. Oberbeck and Petrocelli, will hold approximately 36.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company will be deemed to be controlled by Mr. Oberbeck following consummation of the Saratoga Transaction.  Mr. Oberbeck is the Managing Partner of Saratoga Partners, an affiliate of Saratoga, and has been a member of its investment committee for 15 years.  Mr. Oberbeck is the primary investor in Saratoga, and CLO Partners LLC is an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Oberbeck.  Saratoga Partners has also workingprovided Saratoga with an equity commitment letter, pursuant to which Saratoga Partners has agreed to fulfill and satisfy solely the payment obligations of Saratoga and CLO Partners under the Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, including the closing conditions described herein.

For more information about Saratoga, see our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the investment banking firm Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, which it retained to evaluate strategic transaction opportunities and consider alternatives.

Revenues
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. OurWe expect our debt investments, whether in the form of first and second lien term loans, mezzanine debt or high yield bonds, generallyto have terms of up to ten years, and to bear interest at either a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt iswill 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.
     Pursuant to an agreement with our investment adviser entered into on October 17, 2006, prior to becoming a BDC, we acquired the right to act as investment adviser to CDO Fund III and collect the management fees related thereto from March 20, 2007 until the liquidation of the CDO Fund III assets. We paid our investment adviser a fair market price of $0.1 million for the right to act as investment advisor to CDO Fund III.
On January 22, 2008 we entered into a collateral management agreement with GSCIC CLO pursuant to which we will 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 GSCIC CLO’s 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 GSCIC 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 GSCIC 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.

A fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the 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. Under this provision, in any fiscal quarter, our investment adviser receives no incentive fee unless our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.875%. Amounts received as a return of capital are not included in calculating this portion of the incentive fee. Since the hurdle rate is based on net assets, a return of less than the hurdle rate on total assets may still result in an incentive fee.
A fee, payable at the end of each fiscal year, equal to 20% of our net realized capital gains, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation, in each case on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of capital gains incentive fees paid to the investment adviser through such date.
 
We will defer cash payment of any incentive fee otherwise earned by our investment adviser if, during the most recent four full fiscal quarterly periodsquarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the sum of (a) our aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) our change in net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities) (before taking into account any incentive fees payable during that period) is less than 7.5% of our net assets at the beginning of such period. These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for the first three fiscal quarters of operation and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable period. Such incentive fee will become payable on the next date on which such test has been satisfied for the most recent four full fiscal quarters or upon certain terminations of the investment advisory and management agreement. We commenced deferring cash payment of incentive fees during the quarterly period ended August 31, 2007, and have continued to defer such payments through the current quarterly period; we have recorded a payable in respectperiod.  As of such deferred fees in the amount ofMay 31, 2010, $2.6 million as of November 30, 2009.incentive fees have been deferred and remained unpaid and will be waived if the Saratoga Transaction is consummated.  GSCP will no longer provide services to us if the Saratoga Transaction is consummated.

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.

From the commencement of operations until March 23, 2008, GSC Group reimbursed us for operating expenses to the extent that our total annual operating expenses (other than investment advisory and management fees and interest and credit facility expenses) exceeded an amount equal to 1.55% of our net assets attributable to common stock. GSC Group has not reimbursed us since that date and we do not expect to be reimbursed in the future.

Our investment in the subordinated notes of GSCIC CLO represents a first loss position in a portfolio that, at November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, was composed of $395.3$406.0 and $387.1 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of predominantly senior secured first lien term loans. This investment is subject to unique risks. (SeePlease see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Risks related to our investments—Our investment in GSCIC CLO constitutes a leveraged investment in a portfolio of predominantly senior secured first lien term loans and is subject to additional risks and volatility”, of our Annual Report on Formform 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009).2010 for more information. We do not consolidate the GSCIC CLO portfolio in our financial statements. Accordingly, the metrics below do not include the underlying GSCIC CLO portfolio investments. However, at November 30, 2009, 97.7% of theMay 31, 2010, three GSCIC CLO portfolio investments were performingin default and over 92.5%91.8% of the GSCIC CLO portfolio investments had a CMR (as defined below) color rating of Greengreen or Yellow.yellow.

GSC Group normally grades all of our investments using an internally developed credit and monitoring rating system (“CMR”). Prior to November 30, 2009 theThe CMR rating consists of two components: (i) a numerical debt score and (ii) a corporate letter rating.
     The numerical debt score is based on the objective evaluation of six risk categories: (i) leverage; (ii) seniority in the capital structure; (iii) fixed charge coverage ratio; (iv) debt service coverage/liquidity; (v) operating performance; and (vi) business/industry risk. The numerical debt score ranges from 1.00 to 5.00, which can generally be characterized as follows:
1.00-2.00 represents investments that hold senior positions in the capital structure and, typically, have low financial leverage and/or strong historical operating performance;
2.00-3.00 represents investments that hold relatively senior positions in the capital structure, either senior secured, senior unsecured, or senior subordinate, and have moderate financial leverage and/or are performing at or above expectations;
3.00-4.00 represents investments that are junior in the capital structure, have moderate financial leverage and/or are performing at or below expectations; and
4.00-5.00 represents investments that are highly leveraged and/or have poor operating performance.

34


     The numerical debt score is designed to produce higher scores for debt positions that are more subordinate in the capital structure. Therefore, second lien term loans, high-yield bonds and mezzanine debt will generally be assigned scores of 2.25 or higher.
     The corporate letter rating is based on several subjective criteria, including perceived financial and operating strength and covenant compliance. The corporate letter ratings range from (A) through (F) and are characterized as follows: (A) equals strong credit; (B) equals satisfactory credit; (C) equals special attention credit; (D) equals payment default risk; (E) equals payment default; and (F) equals restructured equity security.
     Effective November 30, 2009, the CMR consisted 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..risk.  The color ratings range from (Green) through (Red) and 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, 2009May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010 was as follows:

Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of its IPO, advances from the Revolving Facility and the Term Facility, as well as cash flows from operations. On March 28, 2007, we completed our IPO and issued 7,250,000 common shares and received net proceeds of $100.7 million.

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 has negatively affectedaffect 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 will be used to repay outstanding borrowings. AtIn March 2009 we amended the endRevolving Credit Facility to decrease the minimum required collateralization and increase the portion of the two year amortization period, all advancesportfolio that can be invested in “CCC” rated investments in return for an increased interest rate and expedited amortization.

A Borrowing Base violation will be dueoccur if our outstanding borrowings exceed the Borrowing Base at any time. We can cure a Borrowing Base violation by reducing our borrowing below the Borrowing Base (by, e.g., selling collateral and payable. A significant percentage of our total investments has been pledgedrepaying borrowings) or pledging additional collateral to secure our obligations underincrease the Revolving Facility.

If we had $43.8 million in borrowingsfail to cure a Borrowing Base violation within the specified time, a default under the Revolving Facility versus $59.0 million in borrowings at February 28, 2009. The actual amount that we are permitted to borrow under the Revolving Facility at any given time (the “Borrowing Base”) is dependent upon the amount and quality of the collateral securing the Revolving Facility. Our Borrowing Base was $12.1 million at November 30, 2009 versus $59.9 million at February 28, 2009. The decline in our Borrowing Base during this period is mainly attributable to the decline in the value of the pledged collateral and the downgrade of certain public ratings or private credit estimates of the pledged collateral.
shall occur.  On July 30, 2009 an unremedied Borrowing Base violation became an event of default, which is currently continuing. As a result of this event of default, our lender has 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 would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and operations. As a result of the continuing default, the Company may be forced to sell its investments to raise funds to repay outstanding amounts. Such forced sales may result in values that could be less than carrying values reported in these financial statements. The deleveraging of the Company may significantly impair the Company’s ability to effectively operate. Please see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors- An event of default under the Revolving Facility may lead to a forced liquidation of the pledged assets that may yield less than the fair value of the assets” in the quarterly report on form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2009 for more information. To date, our lender has not accelerated the debt with respect to this event of default, but has reserved the right to do so.  We continuePlease see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks related to discuss possible solutions toour liquidity and financial condition” of our Annual Report on form 10-K for the event of default with our lender.year ended February 28, 2010 for more information.

During the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate on the Revolving Facility is increased from the commercial paper rate plus 4.00% to the greater of the commercial paper rate and our lender’s prime rate plus 4.00% plus a default rate of 2.00% or, if the commercial paper market is unavailable, the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rates and our lender’s prime rate plus 6.00% plus a default rate of 3.00%. Under this formula, the current interest rate during the three month period ended November 30, 2009at May 31, 2010 was 9.25%.
     For purposes
At May 31, 2010, we had $33.8 million in borrowings under the Revolving Facility versus $37.0 million in borrowings at February 28, 2010. The actual amount that we are permitted to borrow under the Revolving Facility at any given time (the “Borrowing Base”) is dependent upon the amount and quality of determiningthe collateral securing the Revolving Facility. Our Borrowing Base was $6.1 million at May 31, 2010 versus $1.7 million at February 28, 2010. The increase in our Borrowing Base during the quarter is mainly attributable to the repayment and reinstatement of certain defaulted assets that resulted in a higher collateral value per the Borrowing Base most assets are assigned the values set forth in our most recent quarterly report filed with the SEC. Accordingly, the November 30, 2009 Borrowing Base relies upon the valuations set forth in the quarterly report for the quarter ended August 31, 2009. The valuations presented in this quarterly report will not be incorporated into the Borrowing Base until after this report is filed with the SEC. If the November 30, 2009 valuations were used to calculate the Borrowing Base at November 30, 2009, the Borrowing Base would have been $11.9 million versus $12.1 million when using the August 31, 2009 valuations.calculation.

Substantially all of our assets other than our investment in the subordinated notes of GSCIC CLO are held in a special purpose subsidiary and pledged under our Revolving Facility. We commenced the two year amortization period under the Revolving Facility in January 2009, during which time all principal proceeds from the pledged assets are used to repay the Revolving Facility. In addition, during the continuance of an event of default, all interest proceeds from the pledged assets are also used to repay the Revolving Facility. As a result, the Company is required to fund itsis operating expenses and dividends solely from cash on hand, management fees earned from,  and the proceeds of the subordinated notes of, GSCIC CLO. Please see Part II,I, Item 1A.1A “Risk Factors—Continuance of an Event of Default underRisks related to our Revolving Facility and/or deferral of payments from GSCIC CLO may resultliquidity and financial condition” in a shortage of working capital” in this quarterly reportour Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2010 for more information.

In April 2009, our investment adviser withheld a scheduled principal amortization payment under its credit facility, resulting in a default thereunder. Since then, our investment adviser hasand its secured lenders have been in discussions with its secured lendersnegotiations regarding a consensual restructuring of its obligations under such credit facility. AWhile we are not directly affected by our investment adviser’s default, a material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or performance of our investment adviser could constitute a default under our Revolving Facility.

During the quarter ended May 31, 2010, the Company did not make any dividend of $1.825 per share payable on December 31, 2009, to common stockholders of record on November 25, 2009. 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 $2.1 million or $0.25 per share.declarations.
Based on shareholder elections, the dividend consisted of $2.1 million in cash and 8,648,725 shares of common stock, or 104% 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 13.7% 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 $1.5099 per share, which equaled the volume weighted average trading price per share of the common stock on December 24 and 28, 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At November 30, 2009May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2009,2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements 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 business activities contain elements of market risk. We consider our principal market risks to be fluctuations in interest rates and the inherent difficulty of determining the fair value of our investments that do not have a readily available market value. Managing these risks is essential to our business. Accordingly, we have systems and procedures designed to identify and analyze our risks, to establish appropriate policies and thresholds and to continually monitor these risks and thresholds by means of administrative and information technology systems and other policies and processes.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, including relative changes in different interest rates, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and

41


the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire leveraged loans, high yield bonds and other debt investments and the value of our investment portfolio.

 
39


Our investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR and the prime rate. A large portion of our portfolio is, and we expect will continue to be, comprised of floating rate investments that utilize LIBOR. Our interest expense is affected by fluctuations in the commercial paper rate and our lender’s prime rate or, if the commercial paper market is unavailable, LIBOR and our lender’s prime rate. At November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010, we had $43.8$33.8 million of borrowings outstanding at a floating rate tied to the greater of the prevailing commercial paper rate and our lender’s prime rate plus a margin of 4.00% plus a default rate of 2.00% (or, if the commercial paper market is unavailable, the greater of the prevailing LIBOR rates and our lender’s prime rate plus 6.00% plus a default rate of 3.00%).

In April and May 2007, pursuant to the Revolving Facility, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements with notional amounts of $34.0 million (increased to $40.0 million in May 2007) and $60.9 million. These agreements provide for a payment to the Company in the event LIBOR exceeds 8%, mitigating our exposure to increases in LIBOR. At November 30, 2009,May 31, 2010, the aggregate interest rate cap agreement notional amount was $66.4$63.2 million.

We have analyzed the potential impact of changes in interest rates on interest income from investments net of interest expense on the Revolving Facility.investments. Assuming that our investments at November 30, 2009as of May 31, 2010 were to remain constant for a full fiscal year and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate terms, a hypothetical change of 1% in interest rates would cause a corresponding change of approximately $0.3$0.2 million to our interest income net of interest expense.from investments.

Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the balance sheetstatement of assets and liabilities and other business developments that could magnify or diminish our sensitivity to interest rate changes, nor does it account for divergences in LIBOR and the commercial paper rate, which have historically moved in tandem but, in times of unusual credit dislocations, have experienced periods of divergence. Accordingly no assurances can be given that actual results would not materially differ from the potential outcome simulated by this estimate.

Portfolio Valuation

We carry our investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are fair valued at such market quotations. We value investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board under our valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. For investments that are thinly traded, we review the depth and quality of the available quotations to determine if market quotations are readily available. If the available quotations are indicative only, we may determine that market quotations are not readily available. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations that are assigned.

The types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing of our investments include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, third party valuations, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, market yield trend analysis, comparison to publicly-traded securities, recent sales of or offers to buy comparable companies, and other relevant factors. The fair value of our investment in the subordinated notes of GSCIC CLO is based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions which are adjusted to reflect changes in historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for similar CLO subordinated notes or equity, when available.available

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us or our subsidiaries.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business is subject to certain risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock. For a discussion of these risks, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended May 31, 2009 and August 31, 2009.2010.
Continuance of an Event of Default under our Revolving Facility and/or deferral of payments from GSCIC CLO may result in a shortage of working capital.
     During the continuance of an event of default, interest proceeds from the assets pledged under our Revolving Facility that would otherwise be available to pay dividends of the Company are diverted to repay amounts owing under the Revolving Facility. As a result, the Company has recourse only to cash on hand and management fees earned from, and the proceeds of the subordinated notes of, GSCIC CLO, to fund its operating expenses and dividends. Management fees and subordinated note distributions from GSCIC CLO are also subject to deferral depending on the performance of the GSCIC CLO portfolio. If the event of default under the Revolving Facility continues, and/or distributions from GSCIC CLO are deferred, the Company may find itself with insufficient working capital to fund its operating expenses and/or pay dividends sufficient to comply with its RIC requirements. If such an event were to occur, the ability of the Company to continue to operate and/or comply with its RIC requirements could be seriously impaired.
