MILL CITY VENTURES III, LTD.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, ~~2018~~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 June 30, ~~2018~~2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 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, ~~2017.~~

~~Reclassifications:~~~~Certain December 31, 2017 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period end presentation.~~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.

~~NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)~~

~~June 30, 2018~~

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 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 tobe 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 ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board~~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. ~~While we are currently evaluating~~

Effective January 1, 2019, the ~~impact of ASU No. 2016-02, we expect an increase~~Company adopted the new lease accounting standard using the optional transition method which allowed us to continue to apply the ~~balance sheets for~~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 ~~associated~~this included not recognizing right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for ~~our~~existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease ~~agreements previously accounted~~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 ~~as operating leases.~~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), of any of our portfolio companies as of June 30, ~~2018.~~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.

June 30, ~~2018~~2019

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 ade 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 June 30, ~~2018~~2019 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed.

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 to BDCs generally describe as “affiliate transactions.” 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 related-party transactions requiring disclosure under this policy are:

Mr. Joseph A. Geraci, II, our Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Douglas M. Polinsky, our Chief Executive Officer, hold direct and indirect interests in the common stock of Southern Plains Resources, Inc., a company in which we made investments in common stock in each of March and July 2013.

A former director of our company, Christopher Larson, had a direct interest in Mix 1 Life, Inc. and served as that company’s Chief Financial Officer at the time of a portfolio investment we made in secured convertible debt of Mix 1 Life (together with common stock purchase warrants) in February 2014. In June 2014, Mr. Larson became a director of Mix 1 Life. In August 2014, we exercised our common stock purchase warrant on a cashless basis for the purchase of Mix 1 Life common stock. In March 2015, we invested in additional secured debt of Mix 1 Life. Mr. Larson resigned from his position as a director of Mill City Ventures in November 2015.

Lantern Advisors, LLC is a limited liability company equally owned by Messrs. Geraci and Polinsky, and owns a cashless warrant to purchase up to 153,846 shares of Creative Realities, Inc. at a price of $0.70 per share through July 14, 2019. We made an initial investment in secured convertible debt of Creative Realities (together with common stock purchase warrants) in February 2015, and then a subsequent investment in secured convertible debt of Creative Realities (together with common stock purchase warrants) in December 2015. In December 2015, we also exchanged our common stock purchase warrant obtained in February 2015 for shares of Creative Realities common stock.

June 30, 2019

On August 10, 2018, we entered into a loan transaction with a shareholder and her husband who own approximately 1,500,000 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 bears interest payable monthly at the rate of 10% per annum. The note 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 ~~– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES~~— RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS

Our two employees, Messrs. Geraci and Polinsky, are eligible to participate in a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan whereby they may elect to have a specified portion of their salary contributed to the plan. We ~~have an agreement~~will make a safe harbor match equal to ~~lease approximately 1,917 square feet~~100% of ~~commercial space,~~their elective deferrals up to 5% of eligible earnings in addition to our option to make discretionary contributions to the plan. We made contributions totaling $1,875 and ~~two parking spots,~~$8,750 to the plans for ~~a period of 62 months. The 62-month lease term began October 1, 2013~~the three and ~~runs through November~~six months ended June 30, ~~2018. The total base rent expense~~2019, respectively, and $1,875 and $3,750 to the plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, ~~and 2017 was $11,345 and $22,689,~~ respectively. ~~The table below sets forth the required annual minimum lease payments:~~

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

We plan to be taxed as a regulated investment company, or “RIC,” and intend to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to RICs. Currently, however, we have not elected to be treated as a RIC. Upon our election to be taxed as a RIC, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, and we intend at that time to distribute to shareholders (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain. Based on the foregoing, we have made no provision for income taxes. The characterization of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had 11,067,402 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

On February 15, 2019 we announced that our board of directors had approved a special cash dividend of $0.05 per common share. The dividend was paid on March 15, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 8, 2019.

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 June 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 six months ended June 30, 2018 was $22,689 and $45,364, respectively.

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

	Three-Month		Six-Month
	Ended		Ended
	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2019

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

Portfolio and Investment Activity

Results of Operations

Financial Condition

Critical Accounting Estimates

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Forward Looking Statements

OVERVIEW

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, ~~2017,~~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.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2019, our total investment income was $42,949 and $82,368, 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 six months ended June 30, 2018, our total investment income was $39,050 and $73,575, and was attributable to interest income from two eligible portfolio companies, Bravo Financial, LLC and DBR Enclave LLC, 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 four non-eligible portfolio companies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our total investment income was $36,509 and $73,073, respectively, and was attributable to interest income from two eligible portfolio companies, Bravo Financial, LLC and DBR Enclave LLC, and dividend payments received on account of investments in five eligible portfolio companies - OTC Markets Group Cl A, Simulations Plus, Inc., Tessco Technologies, Inc., Escalade Inc., and National American University Holdings, Inc., and dividends received on account of investments in three non-eligible portfolio companies.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our professional fee expense was $59,814 and $126,550, respectively. The decrease for the second quarter is due to the payment of legal fees in 2017 in connection with our collection efforts on bad debt, specifically relating to the Mix 1 Life Notes.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our payroll expense was $56,272 and $117,325, respectively. The increase for the second quarter is due to a bonus payment made during the second quarter to management.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our occupancy expense was $22,547 and $45,302, respectively.

Net Realized ~~Gain(Loss)~~Gain from Investments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we had $573,844 and $3,380,422, respectively, of principal repayments, resulting in $31,364 and $3,102,210, respectively, of realized gains, due primarily to the acquisition of our holding in BiteSquad LLC by Waitr Holdings.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net decrease in net assets from operations of $1,301,499 and $136,830, respectively. Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our per-share net decrease in net assets from operations was $0.12 and $0.01, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net increase in net assets from operations of $202,603 and $742,193, respectively. Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our per-share net increase in net assets from operations was $0.02 and $0.07, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net increase in net assets from operations of $188,661 and $168,143, respectively. Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our per-share net increase in net assets from operations was $0.02 and $0.01, respectively.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~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 six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided in operating activities was $1,982,411. Cash flows provided in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to redemptions and repayments of investments of $3,380,422, offset mostly by purchases of investments totaling $875,160. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $1,031,089. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily related to purchases of investments of $2,024,644, offset mostly by redemptions and repayments of investments totaling $1,149,586. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided in operating activities was $1,141,756. Cash flows provided in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were related to redemptions and repayments of $2,483,635, offset mostly by purchases of investments totaling $1,128,365.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had cash of ~~$1,127,225, a decrease~~$2,395,162, an increase of ~~$1,031,089~~$1,429,041 from December 31, ~~2017.~~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.” ~~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, 2018.~~

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.

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 six months ended June 30, ~~2018,~~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 from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events 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 onour current assumptions regarding, the following:

our future operating results;

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

the outcome of compliance inspections conducted from time to time by the SEC’s Office of Compliance and Inspections;

the success of our investments;

our relationships with third parties;

the dependence of our success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

our expected financings and investments;

our regulatory structure and tax treatment;

~~our ability to operate as a BDC and to be taxed as a RIC;~~

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 ~~March 30, 2018~~June 19, 2019 (related to our year ended December 31, ~~2017)~~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 obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this filing. The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

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 and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.

As of June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, ~~2018.~~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.
