MILL CITY VENTURES III, LTD.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2019



NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION



Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. is an investment
company incorporated in the State of Minnesota on January 10, 2006. In this report, we generally refer to Mill City Ventures III,
Ltd. in the first person “we.” On occasion, we refer to our company in the third person as “Mill City Ventures”
or the “company.” The company follows accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards (“ASC”)
946.



We are an internally managed closed-end
non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company, or “BDC,”
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). To date, we have not made an election to be treated as a
regulated investment company, or “RIC,” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).



We primarily focus on investing in or lending
to privately held and small-cap publicly traded U.S. companies, and making managerial assistance available to such companies. These
investments are typically structured as purchases of preferred or common stock, investment contracts, or loans evidenced by promissory
notes that may be convertible into stock by their terms or that may be accompanied by the issuance to us of warrants or similar
rights to purchase stock. Our investments may be made for purposes of financing acquisitions, recapitalizations, buyouts, organic
growth and working capital. Our future revenues will relate to the gain we realize from the sale of securities we purchase, and
to dividends and interest we derive from those securities. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital
appreciation that ultimately result in gains. We are in the process of exploring a new business pursuit for the Company and expect
to seek shareholder approval for us to withdraw our election to be treated as a BDC.



NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES



Basis of presentation: The accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements of Mill City Ventures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.



The condensed balance sheet as of December
31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.



Use of estimates: The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management and our independent board members to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of
the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. For more information, see the “Valuation of portfolio investments” caption below, and “Note
4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” below.



Cash deposits: We maintain our cash
balances in financial institutions and with regulated financial investment brokers. Cash on deposit in excess of FDIC and similar
coverage is subject to the usual banking risk of funds in excess of those limits.



Valuation of portfolio investments:
We carry our investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”),
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices
provided by independent pricing services, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources. In the absence of quoted market
prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources, investments are measured at fair value as determined by the
Valuation Committee of our Board of Directors based on, among other things, the input of our executive management, the Audit Committee
of our Board of Directors, and any independent third-party valuation experts that may be engaged by management to assist in the
valuation of our portfolio investments, but in all cases consistent with our written valuation policies and procedures.



Due to the inherent uncertainties of
valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready
market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. In addition, such investments are generally
less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or
liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

MILL CITY VENTURES III, LTD.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2019



For more information, see Note 4 “Fair
Value of Financial Instruments.”



Income taxes: We account for income
taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amounts expected to be realized. For more information, see Note 7 “Income Taxes.”



Revenue recognition: Realized gains
or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific investment method.



Interest income, adjusted for amortization
of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities
purchased are accreted or amortized, as applicable, into interest income over the life of the related security using the effective-yield
method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization
of premiums, if any. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days
or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is
generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized
as income or applied to 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.
We may make exceptions to the policy described above if a loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.



Dividend income on preferred equity securities
is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are
expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies
or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.



Certain investments may have contractual
payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interested or accumulated dividends that are
added to the loan principal or stated value of the investment on the respective interest- or dividend-payment dates rather than
being paid in cash, and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being repurchased by the issuer. PIK interest or dividends is
recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point we believe that PIK interest or dividends is not expected
be realized, the PIK-generating investment will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally
reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.



Recent accounting pronouncements:
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Leases (Topic 840). Under the new guidance, lessees are
required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating
leases. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical
expedients that entities may elect to apply. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted.



Effective January 1, 2019, the Company
adopted the new lease accounting standard using the optional transition method which allowed us to continue to apply the guidance
under the lease standard in effect at the time in the comparative periods presented. In addition, the Company elected the package
of practical expedients, which allowed us to not reassess whether any existing contracts contain a lease, to not reassess historical
lease classification as operating or finance leases, and to not reassess initial direct costs. The Company has not elected the
practical expedient to use hindsight to determine the lease term for its leases at transition. The Company has also elected the
practical expedient allowing us to not separate the lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. The Company
elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified. This means, for those leases that qualified,
the Company did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities, and this included not recognizing right-of-use assets or
lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.  Adoption of this standard resulted in the
recording of operating lease ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $57,523 each, as of January 1, 2019, with
no impact on accumulated deficit. Financial position for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, are presented
under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance.



Additional information and disclosures
required by this new standard are contained in Note 10, 'Operating Leases'.



Allocation of net gains and losses:
All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for any investment are allocated in a manner proportionate to the shares owned.

We do not “control,” and we are not an “affiliate”
of (as each of those terms is defined in the 1940 Act), any of our portfolio companies as of September 30, 2019. Under the 1940
Act, we would generally be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if we owned more than 25% of its voting securities,
and be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if we owned at least 5% and up to 25% of its voting securities.



NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



General information: Accounting
guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs
used in measuring investments at fair value. Observable inputs must be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market
participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs
are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based
upon the best information available. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are to be categorized into one of the three
hierarchy levels based on the relative observability of inputs used in the valuation. The three levels are defined as follows:



| | · | Level 1:Observable inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Level 2:Observable inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices
for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Level 3:Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about what inputs a market participant would
use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our valuation policy and procedures: Under our valuation
policies and procedures, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, and then
apply the resulting information in determining fair value. For our Level 1 investment assets, our valuation policy generally requires
us to use a market approach, considering the last quoted closing price of a security we own that is listed on a securities exchange,
and in a case where a security we own is listed on an over-the-counter market, to average the last quoted bid and ask price on
the most active market on which the security is quoted. In the case of traded debt securities the prices for which are not readily
available, we may value those securities using a present value approach, at their weighted-average yield to maturity.

The estimated fair value of our Level 3 investment assets is
determined on a quarterly basis by the Valuation Committee of our Board of Directors, pursuant to our written Valuation Policy
and Procedures. These policies and procedures generally require that we value our Level 3 equity investments at cost plus any accrued
interest, unless circumstances warrant a different approach. Our Valuation Policy and Procedures provide examples of these circumstances,
such as when a portfolio company has engaged in a subsequent financing of more than a de minimis size involving sophisticated
investors (in which case we may use the price involved in that financing as a determinative input absent other known factors),
or when a portfolio company is engaged in the process of a transaction that we determine is reasonably likely to occur (in which
case we may use the price involved in the pending transaction as a determinative input absent other known factors). Other situations
identified in our Valuation Policy and Procedures that may serve as input supporting a change in the valuation of our Level 3 equity
investments include (i) a third-party valuation conducted by an independent and qualified professional, (ii) changes in the performance
of long-term financial prospects of the portfolio company, (iii) a subsequent financing that changes the distribution rights associated
with the equity security we hold, or (iv) sale transactions involving comparable companies, but only if further supported by a
third-party valuation conducted by an independent and qualified professional.



When valuing preferred equity investments, we generally view
intrinsic value as a key input. Intrinsic value means the value of any conversion feature (if the preferred investment is convertible)
or the value of any liquidation or other preference. Discounts to intrinsic value may be applied in cases where the issuer’s
financial condition is impaired or, in cases where intrinsic value relating to a conversion is determined to be a key input, to
account for resale restrictions applicable to the securities issuable upon conversion.



When valuing warrants, our Valuation Policy and Procedures indicate
that value will generally be the difference between closing price of the underlying equity security and the exercise price, after
applying an appropriate discount for restriction, if applicable, in situations where the underlying security is marketable. If
the underlying security is not marketable, then intrinsic value will be considered consistent with the principles described above.
Generally, “out-of-the-money” warrants will be valued at cost or zero.



For non-traded (Level 3) debt securities with a residual maturity
less than or equal to 60 days, the value will generally be based on a present value approach, considering the straight-line amortized
face value of the debt unless justification for impairment exists.



On a quarterly basis, our management provides members of our
Valuation Committee with (i) valuation reports for each portfolio investment (which reports include our cost, the most recent prior
valuation and any current proposed valuation, and an indication of the valuation methodology used, together with any other supporting
materials); (ii) Mill City Ventures’ bank and other statements pertaining to our cash and cash equivalents; (iii) quarter-
or period-end statements from our custodial firms holding any of our portfolio investments; and (iv) recommendations to change
any existing valuations of our portfolio investments or hierarchy levels for purposes of determining the fair value of such investments
based upon the foregoing. The committee then discusses these materials and, consistent with the policies and approaches outlined
above, makes final determinations respecting the valuation and hierarchy levels of our portfolio investments.



We made no changes to our Valuation Policy and Procedures during
the reporting period.



Level 3 valuation information: Due
to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of the fair value of our investment portfolio as of September
30, 2019 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed.

measurements of our portfolio investments by major class, as of September 30, 2019, according to the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 9 – PER-SHARE INFORMATION



Basic net gain per common share is computed by dividing net
increase in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net gain (loss) per common share
is set forth below:

NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASES



On January 1, 2019 we adopted ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic
842), and its amendments and elected the effective date transition method.



The Company is subject to two non-cancelable operating leases
for office space expiring March 31, 2022. These leases do not have significant lease escalations, holidays, concessions, leasehold
improvements, or other build-out clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions. The leases do not include
options to renew.



Because our lease does not provide an implicit rate, we use
our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents
an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized
basis over the term of a lease. The weighted average discount rate as of September 30, 2019 was 4.5% and the weighted average remaining
lease term is 3 years.



Under ASC 840, rent expense for office facilities for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $22,689 and $45,364, respectively.



The components of our operating lease were as follows for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:



|                      |  | Three-Month        |        |  | Nine-Month         |

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



Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a
narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors
that may affect our future results. In addition, unless expressly stated otherwise, the comparisons presented in this MD&A
refer to the same period in the prior year. Our MD&A is presented in seven sections:

OVERVIEW



Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. is an investment
company incorporated in the State of Minnesota on January 10, 2006. In this report, we generally refer to Mill City Ventures III,
Ltd. in the first person “we.” On occasion, we refer to our company in the third person as “Mill City Ventures”
or the “company.”



We are an internally managed closed-end
non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company, or “BDC,”
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). To date, we have not made an election to be treated as a
regulated investment company, or “RIC,” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).



We primarily focus on investing in or lending
to privately held and small-cap publicly traded U.S. companies, and making managerial assistance available to such companies. These
investments are typically structured as purchases of preferred or common stock, investment contracts, or loans evidenced by promissory
notes that may be convertible into stock by their terms or that may be accompanied by the issuance to us of warrants or similar
rights to purchase stock. Our investments may be made for purposes of financing acquisitions, recapitalizations, buyouts, organic
growth and working capital. Our revenues relate to the gain we realize from the sale of securities we purchase, and to dividends
and interest we derive from those securities. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation
that ultimately result in gains.



Our principal sources of income are interest
and dividends we earn on our investments, and proceeds from the sale or redemption of our investments. Our statements of operations
also reflect gain from increases in the carrying value of our investments (i.e., unrealized appreciation). Our principal expenses
relate to operating expenses, the largest components of which are generally professional fees, payroll, occupancy, and insurance
expenses. Our statements of operations also reflect loss from decreases in the carrying value of our investments (i.e., unrealized
depreciation).



As a BDC, we are required to comply with
certain regulatory requirements. For example, we must invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,”
including securities of private or small-cap publicly traded U.S. companies and cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities
and high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We may from time to time invest up to 30% of our assets opportunistically
in other types of investments, including the securities of larger public companies and foreign securities. In addition, we will
be permitted, under certain conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock,
but only if our “asset coverage,” as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such
issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, we must not make any dividend distribution to our shareholders
or repurchase securities unless we meet the applicable asset-coverage ratios at the time of the dividend distribution or repurchase.
We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary or emergency purposes.



The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a general
plan to seek the approval of the Company’s shareholders for the Company’s de-registration as a BDC. Management presently
anticipates that, shortly after the filing of this report, the Company will file a preliminary proxy statement for a special meeting
at which such approval, together with approval of other items relating to the de-registration, will be sought.



Our MD&A should be read in conjunction
with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other
publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited. In addition, the following discussion of our results of operations
and financial condition should be read in the context of this overview.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

of interest income and capital gains, if any, on the debt securities we own. We may also generate revenue from dividends and capital
gains on equity investments we make, if any, or on warrants or other equity interests that we may acquire. In some cases, the interest
on our investments may accrue or be paid in the form of additional debt. The principal amount of the debt instruments, together
with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will generally become due at the maturity date of those debt instruments. We may
also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, or consulting fees. Any such fees will be
recognized as earned.



For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, our total investment income was $43,007 and $125,375, and was attributable to interest income from one eligible portfolio
company, DBR Enclave LLC, and our note receivable, and dividend payments received on account of investments in four eligible portfolio
companies - Educational Development Corp., Simulations Plus, Inc, Taitron Components, Inc., and TESSCO Technologies, Inc, and dividends
received on account of investments in two non-eligible portfolio companies. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,
our total investment income was $32,000 and $105,575, and was attributable to interest income from two eligible portfolio companies,
Bravo Financial, LLC and DBR Enclave LLC, and one non-eligible portfolio company, and dividend payments received on account of
investments in three eligible portfolio companies - OTC Markets Group Cl A, Simulations Plus, Inc., and Educational Development
Corp., and dividends received on account of investments in five non-eligible portfolio companies.

For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, our payroll expense was $56,768 and $283,359, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our
payroll expense was $51,814 and $169,139, respectively. The increase for the nine-month period is due to a bonus payment made during
2019 to management.



For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, our occupancy expense was $16,384 and $57,250, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,
our occupancy expense was $22,660 and $67,962, respectively. The decrease for the nine-month period is due to the new lease agreements
which became effective in 2019.



Net Realized Gain from Investments



For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, we had $3,495,125 and $6,875,547, respectively, of principal repayments, resulting in $1,374,287 and $4,476,49 , respectively,
of realized gains, due primarily to the acquisition of our holding in BiteSquad LLC by Waitr Holdings. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2018, we had $1,268,762 and $2,418,348, respectively, of principal repayments, resulting in $74,696 and ($578,741),
respectively, of realized gains (losses). The losses in the nine-month period of 2018 were primarily from our $100,000 settlement
of the Mix 1 litigation.



Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation
(Depreciation) on Investments



For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, our investments had $1,572,874 and $4,414,995, of unrealized depreciation, respectively. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2018, our investments had $567,436 and $2,240,223 of unrealized appreciation, respectively. The decrease during
the third quarter is primarily due to our holding in Waitr Holdings, which has experienced an 88% decline in value during 2019.



Changes in Net Assets from Operations



For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, we recorded a net decrease in net assets from operations of $345,286 and $482,116, respectively. Based on the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our per-share net decrease
in net assets from operations was $0.03 and $0.04, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded
a net increase in net assets from operations of $524,792 and $1,266,985, respectively. Based on the weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our per-share net increase in net assets
from operations was $0.05 and $0.11, respectively.



Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018



The level of cash flows used in or provided
by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions and repayments of portfolio investments, among other
factors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided in operating activities was $5,431,218. Cash flows provided
in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily related to redemptions and repayments of investments
of $6,875,547, offset mostly by purchases of investments totaling $875,160. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash
used in operating activities was $1,184,104. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018
were primarily related to purchases of investments of $3,335,456, offset mostly by redemptions and repayments of investments totaling
$2,418,348.



FINANCIAL CONDITION



As of September 30, 2019, we had cash of
$5,843,969, an increase of $4,877,848 from December 31, 2018. The primary use of our existing funds and any funds raised in the
future is expected to be for our investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to our shareholders or for other general
corporate purposes, including paying for operating expenses or debt service to the extent we borrow or issue senior securities.
Pending investment in portfolio companies, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or
high quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to collectively as “temporary
investments.”



To the extent our Board of Directors determines
in the future, based on our financial condition and capital market conditions, that additional capital would allow us to take advantage
of additional investment opportunities, we may seek to raise additional equity capital or to engage in borrowing, subject to the
limitations on borrowing applicable to BDCs.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS



See Note 5 to our Financial Statements for disclosure of our
related-party transactions and potential conflicts of interest.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES



Our financial statements are prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require
the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods.



In preparing the financial statements,
management will make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements,
management also will utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment,
among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results will almost
certainly differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability
of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As our expected operating results occur, we will describe
additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our financial statements. Our most critical accounting policies relate
to the valuation of our portfolio investments, and revenue recognition. For more information, see Note 2 “Significant Accounting
Policies.”



OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS



During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did not
engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as described in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Some of the statements made in this section
of our report are forward-looking statements based on our management’s current expectations for our company. These expectations
involve assumptions and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially

or our future financial performance, and can ordinarily be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,”
“targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,”
“potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Important assumptions
include our ability to identify and consummate new investments, achieve certain margins and levels of profitability, the availability
of any needed additional capital, and the ability to maintain compliance with regulations applicable to us. Some of the forward-looking
statements contained in this report relate to, and are based our current assumptions regarding, the following:



| | · | our future operating results;
| | - | -----------------------------

| | · | our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | our expected financings and investments;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| | · | our regulatory structure and tax treatment;
| | - | -------------------------------------------

| | · | the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------

| | · | the timing of, and ultimately our ability to, withdraw our election to be treated as a BDC; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The foregoing list is not
exhaustive. For a more complete summary of the risks and uncertainties facing our company and its business and relating to
our forward-looking statements, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on June 19, 2019 (related to our year
ended December 31, 2018) and in particular the section thereof entitled “Risk Factors.” Because of the
significant uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements pertaining to our company, the inclusion of those statements
should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that our objectives, plans, expectations or
projections that are contained in this filing will be achieved in any specified time frame, if ever. We undertake no

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------



We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived

Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2019.



There were no significant changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or were reasonably
likely to materially affect such controls.
