Table of Contents~~MILL CITY VENTURES III, LTD.~~
~~NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)~~
~~March 31, 2021~~

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

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 were incorporated in Minnesota in January 2006. Until December 13, 2012, we were a development-stage company that focused on promoting and placing a proprietary poker game online and into casinos and entertainment facilities nationwide. In 2013, we elected to become a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). We operated as a BDC until we withdrew our BDC election on December 27, 2019. As of the time of this filing, we remain a public reporting company that files periodic reports with the SEC. We offer short-term specialty finance solutions primarily to private businesses, small-cap public companies and high-net-worth individuals. To avoid regulation under the 1940 Act, we generally seek to structure our investments so they do not constitute “investment securities” for purposes of federal securities law, and we monitor our investments as a whole to ensure that no more than 40% of our total assets may consist of investment securities.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated 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, 2020.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management and our Board of Directors 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, and the differences could be material. For more information, see the “Valuation of portfolio investments” caption below, and “Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” below. The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in ASC 946.

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 our Board of Directors, or 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.

~~MILL CITY VENTURES III, LTD.~~
~~NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)~~
~~March 31, 2021~~

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~~an investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

Table of Contents

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 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,~~fair market value, unless circumstances warrant a different approach. Our Valuation Policy and Procedures provide examples of these circumstances, such as when a ~~portfolio~~ company in which we have invested 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~~investments 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. The fair value for short-term non-banking loans is determined as the present value of future contractual cash flows discounted at an interest rate that reflects the risks inherent to those cash flows. The discount ranges from 14% to ~~44%~~47% and approximate rates currently observed in publicly traded debt markets for debt of similar terms to companies with comparable credit risk.

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)~~
~~March 31, 2021~~

On a quarterly basis, our management provides members of our Board of Directors 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 board or 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 other than to have our entire Board of Directors involved in implementing and discharging those policies and procedures.

Income taxes:

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2017 through 2020, which are the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

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 or other instruments 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. Loan origination fees are recognized when loans are issued. 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~~a company in which we have invested 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 interest 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 in placed on non-accrual status.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which is fiscal 2021 for us, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the ASU effective January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 5 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We maintain a Code of Ethics and certain other policies relating to conflicts of interest and related-party transactions, as well as policies and procedures relating to what regulations applicable. Nevertheless, from time to time we may hold investments in portfolio companies in which certain members of our management, our Board of Directors, or significant shareholders of ours, are also directly or indirectly invested. Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy to require our disclosure of these instances in our periodic filings with the SEC. Our only related-party transaction requiring disclosure under this policy relates to an August 10, 2018 loan transaction we entered into with Elizabeth Zbikowski. Ms. Zbikowski, along with her husband Scott Zbikowski, owns approximately 1,765,000 shares of our common stock. In the transaction, we obtained a two-year promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000. The promissory note was subsequently amended such that it matures in August 2021. The note bears interest payable monthly at the rate of 10% per annum and is secured by the debtors’ pledge to us of 625,000 shares of our common stock. The pledged shares are held in physical custody for us by our custodial agent Millennium Trust Company.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

Presently, we are a C-Corporation for tax purposes and have booked an income tax provision for the periods described below.

As of June 30, 2021 and December ~~27, 2019,~~31, 2020, we ~~are~~have a ~~C-corporation~~deferred tax liability of $363,000 and $258,000, respectively. Our determination of the realizable deferred tax assets and liabilities requires the exercise of significant judgment, based in part on business plans and expectations about future outcomes. In the event the actual results differ from these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust the valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. We will continue to assess the need for ~~income tax purposes. Income taxes as of March 31, 2021 are described below.~~

a valuation allowance in future periods.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 we had accrued income taxes of ~~$593,000~~$920,000 and ~~$13,000~~$13,722 respectively. ~~The change in accrued~~We recorded income taxes ~~results from large realized gains on investment sold off~~of approximately $349,000 (28.9 percent effective tax rate) and $0 (0 percent effective tax rate) during ~~quarter one~~the three months ended June 20, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. We recorded income taxes of ~~2021.~~approximately $1,011,000 (28.8 percent effective tax rate) and $0 (0 percent effective tax rate) during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Due to the full valuation allowances in periods prior to December 31, 2020, our effective tax rate was expected to be near zero percent, therefore income tax accruals and expense were not material for those prior periods presented. ~~The income tax expense associated with the tax accruals are for the periods March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 is $663,000 and $0, respectively.~~

As of December 31, 2020, we had a federal ~~net operating loss carryforward (NOL)~~NOL of approximately $371,000. The federal NOL is expected to be completely used and offset taxable income by ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The federal NOL may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, subject to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. ~~Certain federal NOLs will expire in years 2036 and 2037 if not used.~~ Due to tax reform enacted in 2017, NOLs created after 2017 carry forward indefinitely. The estimated federal NOL that does not expire included in the total above is $356,000. States may vary in their treatment of post-2017 NOLs. ~~Certain~~We lost some state NOL carryforwards ~~were lost in~~when we filed final 2019 ~~when several state~~ tax returns ~~were filed final as a result of changes to state nexus.~~in several states. The remaining state NOLs are expected to be completely used and offset taxable income by ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The remaining state NOL carryforwards may expire in ~~2021~~2036 and ~~2023~~2037 if not used.

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had ~~10,786,913~~10,790,413 shares of common stock issued and ~~outstanding.~~

outstanding.

On December 8, 2020 we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share. The dividend was paid on January 4, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 21, 2020.

NOTE 9 – OPERATING LEASES

We are subject to ~~two~~2 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~~weighted-average discount rate as of December 31, 2020 was 4.5% and the ~~weighted average~~weighted-average remaining lease term is one year.

Under ASC 840, rent expense for office facilities for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 was ~~$16,689~~$16,337 and ~~$16,562,~~$16,569, respectively.

NOTE 11 – General Uncertainty

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. As a result, economic uncertainties and market volatility have arisen which are likely to negatively impact our investment valuations and net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impact is ~~unknown~~difficult to determine at this time.

~~MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~

~~Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis~~Table 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~~

~~Portfolio and Investment Activity~~

~~Results of Operations~~

~~Financial Condition~~

~~Critical Accounting Estimates~~

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

~~Forward Looking Statements~~

~~OVERVIEW~~

Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. was 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 provide non-bank lending and specialty finance to companies and individuals on both a secured and unsecured basis. The loans we provide typically have maturities that range from 9 to 12 months and may involve a pledge of collateral or, in the case of loans made to companies, personal guarantees by the principals of the borrower. Our loans may be made for real estate acquisitions, renovation and sale; other real estate projects; title loans; cash inventory needs; inventory financing, or for other purposes. We intend to remain opportunistic, however, and may engage in transactions that involve other rights (such as stock, warrants or other equity-linked investments) or that are structured differently or uniquely. Our business objective is to generate revenues from the interest and fees we charge, and capital appreciation from any related investments we make.

Our principal sources of income are interest, dividends and other fees associated with lending such as origination fees, closing fees or exit fees. We may also receive reimbursement of legal costs associated with loan documentation. Our statement of operations also reflect increases and decreases in the carrying value of our asset and investments (i.e. unrealized appreciation and depreciation). Our principal expenses relate to operating expenses, the largest components of which are generally professional fees, payroll, occupancy, and insurance expenses.

~~RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~

~~Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were as follows:~~

For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
2021 2020
Investment Income: $ 546,842 $ 184,979
Operating Expenses: (533,858 ) (105,392 )
Net Investment Gain (Loss) $ 12,984 $ 79,587

~~Investment Income~~

We generate revenue primarily in the form 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our total investment income was $546,842 and $184,979, respectively. The increase is due to the change in our business structure which now focuses on short-term non-bank lending. Our loan portfolio generates interest income, with an average rate on the loans of 25%.

~~Professional Fees~~

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $142,808 and ($16,232) of professional fees expense, respectively. The increase in 2021 is due to legal costs incurred to close on several new short-term banking loans. In 2020, we received a refund during the first quarter of $59,957 relating to certain audit expenses incurred during 2018 and 2019.

~~Net Realized Gain from Investments~~

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had $5,036,657 of proceeds from sale of investments, resulting in $2,907,999 of realized gains, due primarily to sales of our Ammo, Inc. holding. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had $221,780 of proceeds from sale of investments, resulting in $24,502 of realized gains.

~~Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments~~

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our investments included $513,250 of unrealized depreciation. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our investments included $386,007 of unrealized depreciation.

~~Changes in Net Assets from Operations~~

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a net increase in net assets from operations of $1,745,042. Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021, our per-share net increase in net assets from operations was $0.16. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a net decrease in net assets from operations of $281,918. Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2020, our per-share net decrease in net assets from operations was $0.03.

~~Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020~~

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 three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $4,402,126. Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily related to purchases of investments totaling $9,430,664, offset by repayments of investments of $5,036,657. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $3,038,963. Cash flows provided in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily related to purchases of investments totaling $3,328,296, offset by repayments of investments totaling $221,780.

~~FINANCIAL CONDITION~~

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $499,157, a decrease of $4,941,422 from December 31, 2020. 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.” As of the date of this filing, we expect that substantially all of our temporary investments will be redeployed into portfolio company investments by December 31, 2021.

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 engage in borrowing.

~~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, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

~~OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS~~

~~During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as described in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.~~

~~FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS~~
