EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (this Amendment) to our Annual Report on Form 10K for
the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 (the Form 10K) previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 29, 2009 for the purpose of correcting the amount shown for
Capital in excess of par value as of February 28, 2009. In the Form 10K filed on May 29, 2009,
Capital in excess of par value was shown to be $110,943,738 instead of $116,943,738. This
Amendment shows the correct amount of $116,943,738. There are no other changes to the Form 10K.
As a result of this Amendment, we are also including as exhibits the certifications required under
Sections 302 and 906 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002. This Amendment does not reflect events
occurring after the date of the Form 10K nor does it modify or update the disclosure contained in
the Form 10K in any way other than as required to reflect the change discussed above. Accordingly,
this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our Form 10K and our other filings made with the
SEC subsequent to the filing of our Form 10K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of GSC Investment Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GSC Investment Corp. (the
Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments as of February 28, 2009 and February
29, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash
flows for the period from May 12, 2006 (date of inception) to February 28, 2007 and for each of the
two years ended February 28, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of GSC Investment Corp. at February 28, 2009 and
February 29, 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in their net assets
and their cash flows for the period from May 12, 2006 to February 28, 2007 and for each of the two
years ended February 28, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

GSC INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
GSC Investment Corp. (the Company, we and us) is a non-diversified closed end management
investment company incorporated in Maryland that has elected to be treated and is regulated as a
business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). We
commenced operations on March 23, 2007 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. 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 LLCs 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, 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 encompassing 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 principles 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 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.
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 Companys
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.
F-15
Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies equivalent to the
investments carrying amount.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash and cash
equivalents including those in 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 Companys assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet.
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
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 companys ability
to make payments, market yield trend analysis, the markets in which the portfolio company does
business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors.
We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, as described below:
|
|
|
Each investment is initially valued by the responsible investment professionals and
preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management;
and |
|
|
|
|
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. |
Our equity investment in GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd. (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 such valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies,
are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on
estimates. The determination of fair value by our board of directors may differ materially from the
values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed. Our net asset
value could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of our
investments were materially higher or lower than the values that we ultimately realize upon the
disposal of such investments.
F-16
We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (FAS
133) as amended. FAS 133 requires recognizing all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet 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.
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. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on
non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as principal
depending upon managements judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to
accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are
likely to remain current. 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 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-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 investment 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.
Organizational Expenses
Organizational expenses consist principally of professional fees incurred in connection with the
organization of the Company and have been expensed as incurred.
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.
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 taxable income in any calendar year and 98% of our capital gain net income for each
one-year period ending on October 31.
F-17
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. For the year ended February 28, 2009 provisions of $140,322 were recorded
for Federal excise taxes. As of February 28, 2009, the entire $140,322 was unpaid and included in
accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount was paid subsequent to
year end.
The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
FASB No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
In May 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position, FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1), which provides guidance on how an enterprise should
determine whether a tax position is
effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN
48-1 is effective with the initial adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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 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 Companys 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 February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(FAS 159), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and
liabilities at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for
financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently. FAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to
facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar
types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the companys choice to
use fair value on its earnings. FAS 159 also requires entities to display the fair value of the
selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. FAS 159 does not eliminate
disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including fair value measurement disclosures
in FAS 157. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect fair value measurement for assets or
liabilities other than portfolio investments, which are already measured at fair value, therefore,
the adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the Companys financial
position or its results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). The objective of FAS 161 is to
improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 improves transparency about the
location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entitys financial statements; how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133; and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. FAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative
instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about
an entitys liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk related.
Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to
locate important information about derivative instruments. FAS 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with
early application encouraged. The Company did not early adopt FAS 161. Management is currently
evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and the impact on our consolidated financial
statements of adopting FAS 161.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value
of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the
application of FAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. More specifically, FSP No. 157-3 states
that significant judgment should be applied to determine if observable data in a dislocated market
represents forced
F-18
liquidations or distressed sales and are not representative of fair value in an orderly
transaction. FSP No. 157-3 also provides further guidance that the use of a reporting entitys own
assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates is acceptable
when relevant observable inputs are not available. In addition, FSP No. 157-3 provides guidance on
the level of reliance of broker quotes or pricing services when measuring fair value in a non
active market stating that less reliance should be placed on a quote that does not reflect actual
market transactions and a quote that is not a binding offer. The guidance in FSP No. 157-3 is
effective upon issuance for all financial statements that have not been issued and any changes in
valuation techniques as a result of applying FSP No. 157-3 are accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance
for estimating fair value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements when there is an inactive market or the market is not orderly. This FSP is effective
for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), amends current
other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more
operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on
debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing
recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity
securities. The provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009.
Note 3. Investments
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(FAS 157) as of March 1, 2008, which among other matters, requires enhanced disclosures about
investments that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in FAS 157, 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. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchal
disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability 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 following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value
hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
Investments carried at fair value will be 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. |
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 FAS 157 (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 4. 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 CLOs
assets, to be paid quarterly to the extent of available proceeds. We are also entitled to an
incentive management fee equal to 20% of excess cash flow to the extent the GSCIC CLO subordinated
notes receive an internal rate of return equal to or greater than 12%. For the years ended February
28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we accrued $2.0 and $0.6 million in management fees and $4.4 and
$0.3 million in interest income, respectively. We did not accrue any amounts related to the
incentive management fee as the 12% hurdle rate has not yet been achieved.
Note 5. Income Taxes
The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code
and, as such, will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains
distributed to stockholders.
The Company owns 100% of GSC Investment Corp. CLO 2007, Ltd. (CLO), an Exempted Company
incorporated in the Cayman Islands. For financial reporting purposes, the CLO is not included as
part of the consolidated financial statements. For federal income tax purposes, the Company has
requested and received approval from the Internal Revenue Service to treat the CLO as a disregarded
entity. As such, for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of meeting the RIC qualification
and diversification tests, the results of operations of the CLO are included with those of the
Company.
To qualify as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests
in addition to distributing at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by
the Code. Because federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net
investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may
be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts
in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification may also
result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. During the year
ended February 28, 2009, the Company reclassified for book purposes amounts arising from permanent
book/tax differences primarily related to nondeductible excise tax
and meals & entertainment, market discount, interest income with
respect to the CLO which is consolidated for tax purposes, and the tax
character of distributions as follows (dollars in thousands):

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to shareholders are reported as ordinary income, return
of capital, long term capital gains or a combination thereof. The tax character of distributions
paid for the year ended February 28, 2009 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

(a) Ordinary income is reported on Form 1099-DIV as non-qualified.
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at February 28, 2009 was $526.3
million.
At February 28, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis as detailed below
differ from the amounts reflected per the Companys Statement of Assets and Liabilities by
temporary book/tax differences primarily arising from the consolidation of the CLO for tax
purposes, market discount and original issue discount income and amortization of organizational
expenditures (dollars in thousands).

The
Company has incurred capital losses of $3.2 million for the year
ended February 28, 2009. Such capital losses will be available to
offset future capital gains if any and if unused, will expire on
February 28, 2017.
Management
has analyzed the Companys tax positions taken on federal income
tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2008-2009), and has
concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the
Companys financial statements.

Note 6. Agreements
On March 21, 2007, the Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement (the
Management Agreement) with GSC Group. 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.
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.
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 investment advisory and management agreement.
For the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we incurred $2.7 and $2.9 million in
base management fees and $1.8 and $0.7 million in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net
investment income, respectively. For the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we
incurred no incentive management fees related to net realized capital gains. As of February 28,
2009, $0.6 million of base management fees and $2.3 million of incentive fees were unpaid and
included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
As of February 28, 2009, the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, 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 fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2008.
Accordingly, the payment of the incentive fee for the quarter ended February 28, 2009 will be
deferred. The total deferred incentive fee payable at February 28, 2009 is $2.3 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 years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we expensed $1.0 and $0.9 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. 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
Companys total assets exceeds $500 million. Additionally, the Companys requirement to reimburse
GSC Group is capped such that the amounts payable, together with the Companys other operating
expenses, will not exceed an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of the Companys net assets
attributable to the Companys common stock. Accordingly, for the years ended February 28, 2009 and
February 29, 2008, we have recorded $1.0 and $1.8 million in expense waiver and reimbursement,
respectively, under the Administration Agreement in the accompanying consolidated statement of
operations.
F-22
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 months period thereafter unless otherwise agreed by the Manager
and the Company. For the year ended February 28, 2009, we have recorded $49,715 in expense waiver
and reimbursement under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations. 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.
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 are borrowed from or through certain lenders at prevailing commercial paper rates
or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, at prevailing LIBOR rates, plus
0.70% payable monthly. As of February 28, 2009, there was $59.0 million outstanding under the
Revolving Facility and the Company continues to be in compliance with all of the limitations and
requirements of the Revolving Facility. As of February 29, 2008, there was $78.5 million
outstanding under the Revolving Facility. For the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29,
2008, we recorded $2.4 and $4.0 million of interest expense and $193,464 and $155,946 of
amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, respectively, and the
interest rates on the outstanding borrowings ranged from 1.51% to 4.99%.
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. For the year ended February 29, 2008, we recorded $0.6 million of interest
expense and $0.3 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Term Facility.
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 Companys aggregate indebtedness and cost of funding were unchanged
as a result of this consolidation.
In March 2009 we amended the Revolving Credit Facility to increases the portion of the
portfolio that can be invested in CCC rated investments in return for an increased interest rate
and expedited amortization. As a result of these transactions, we expect to have additional
cushion under our Borrowing Base (as defined below) that will allow us to better manage our capital
in times of declining asset prices and market dislocation. If we are 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 February 28, 2009, we had $59.0 million in borrowings under the Revolving Facility. At February
29, 2008, we had $78.5 million in borrowings under the Revolving Facility and $21.5 million of
undrawn commitments remaining. 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 $59.9 million at February 28, 2009 versus $83.6 million at
February 29, 2008. 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.
F-23
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 February 28, 2009 Borrowing
Base relies upon the valuations set forth in the quarterly report for the quarter ended November
30, 2008. The valuations presented in this annual report will not be incorporated into the
Borrowing Base until after this report is filed with the SEC.
A Borrowing Base violation will occur 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 repaying borrowings) or pledging additional collateral to
increase the Borrowing Base. If we fail to cure a Borrowing Base violation within the specified
time, a default under the Revolving Facility shall occur.
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
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 million to $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 FAS 133 and are presented at their fair
value on the consolidated balance sheet and 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 February 28, 2009 we did not receive any such payments as the LIBOR has not
exceeded 8%. At February 28, 2009, the total notional outstanding for the interest rate caps was
$66.4 million with an aggregate fair value of $0.04 million, which is recorded in outstanding
interest cap at fair value on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended
February, 28, 2009, the Company recorded $0.04 million of unrealized depreciation 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 year ended February 28,
2009 we accrued $0.3 million for directors fees expense and $18,017 for reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses. As of February 28, 2009, $5,250 in directors fees expense was unpaid and
included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet. As of February
28, 2009, 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

Note 14. Related Party Transaction
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. Additionally, GSC Group assigned its rights to act as
collateral manager for GSC Partners CDO Fund III, Limited (CDO III) to the Company. The Company
paid GSC Group $0.1 million to acquire the rights to act as collateral manager and expected to
receive collateral management fees of $0.2 million. For the year ended February 29, 2008 we
received $0.4 million of management fee income from CDO III and received distributions of $16.1
million from our partnership interests resulting in a realized gain of $0.5 million. As of February
28, 2009, the fair value of the general partnership interest and limited partnership interest is
$108,939.
On January 10, 2008, GSC Group notified our Dividend Reinvestment Plan Administrator that it was
electing to receive dividends and other distributions in cash (rather than in additional shares of
common stock) with respect to all shares of stock held by it and the investment funds under its
control. For the year ended February 29, 2008, GSC Group received 35,911 of additional shares under
the dividend reinvestment plan. As of February 28, 2009, GSC Group and its affiliates own
approximately 12% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.
On January 22, 2008, 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 CLOs assets, to be paid
quarterly to the extent of available proceeds. We are also entitled to an incentive management fee
equal to 20% of excess cash flow to the extent the GSCIC CLO subordinated notes receive an internal
rate of return equal to or greater than 12%. We do not expect to enter into additional collateral
management agreements in the near future.
In April 2009, our investment adviser withheld a scheduled principal amortization payment under its
credit facility, resulting in a default thereunder. Our investment adviser has initiated
discussions with its secured lenders regarding a consensual restructuring of its obligations under
such credit facility. While we are not directly affected by our investment advisers 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.
