NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
References herein to “we”,
“us” or “our” refer to Princeton Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “Princeton Capital”),
unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
Princeton Capital Corporation, a Maryland
corporation, was incorporated under the general laws of the State of Maryland on July 25, 2013. We are a non-diversified, closed-end
investment company that has filed an election to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”), under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, our goal is to annually qualify and elect to
be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). The Company, however, did not meet the requirements to qualify as a RIC for the 2017 and 2018 tax years
and was taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code for those years. The Company did not meet the qualifications of
a RIC for the 2019 tax year and will be taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. It may not be in the best interests
of the Company’s stockholders to elect to be taxed as a RIC at the present time due to the net operating losses and capital
loss carryforwards the Company currently has. Management will make a determination that is in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.We invest primarily in private small and lower middle-market companies through first lien loans, second lien
loans, unsecured loans, unitranche and mezzanine debt financing, often times with a corresponding equity investment. Our investment
objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through debt
and related equity investments.
Prior to March 13, 2015, Princeton Capital’s
predecessor operated under the name Regal One Corporation (“Regal One”). Regal One had been located in Scottsdale,
Arizona, and was a Florida corporation initially incorporated in 1959 as Electro-Mechanical Services Inc. Since inception, Regal
One had been involved in several industries. In 1998, Electro-Mechanical Services Inc. changed its name to Regal One Corporation.
On March 7, 2005, Regal One’s board
of directors determined it was in the shareholders’ best interest to change the focus of its operations to providing financial
consulting services through its network of advisors and professionals, and to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. On September
16, 2005, Regal One filed a Form N54A (Notification of Election by Business Development Companies) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), which transformed Regal One into a BDC in accordance with sections 55 through 65 of the 1940 Act.
Regal One reported as an operating BDC from March 31, 2006 until March 13, 2015 and since March 13, 2015 (following the Reincorporation
described below) Princeton Capital has reported as an operating BDC.
On July 9, 2014, Regal One acquired Princeton
Capital as a wholly owned subsidiary. On July 14, 2014, Regal One, Princeton Capital, Capital Point Partners, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (“CPP”), and Capital Point Partners II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CPPII” and, together
with CPP, the “Partnerships”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, Regal One would acquire cash, equity and debt investments of the Partnerships in exchange for shares
of common stock of Regal One. In addition to the customary conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, Regal One was required to (i) to effect a reverse stock split of Regal One’s outstanding common stock at a ratio
of 1-for-2 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), (ii) reincorporate from Florida to Maryland by merging into Princeton Capital
(the “Reincorporation”) and (iii) become an externally managed BDC by entering into an external investment advisory
agreement with Princeton Investment Advisors, LLC, (“Princeton Investment Advisors”) a Delaware limited liability
company.
On March 13, 2015, following the Reverse
Stock Split and the Reincorporation, we completed our previously announced acquisition in the approximate amounts of $11.2 million
in cash, $43.5 million in equity & debt investments, and $1.9 million in restricted cash escrow deposits of the Partnerships
with an aggregate value of approximately $56.6 million and issued approximately 115.5 million shares of our common stock to the
Partnerships. The shares issued were based on a pre-valuation presumed fair value of $60.9 million. We also entered into an investment
advisory agreement with Princeton Investment Advisors, which subsequently was terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors
on January 18, 2016, effective as of June 9, 2016.

On January 18, 2016, the Board of Directors
of the Company conditionally approved the investment advisory agreement with Princeton Advisory Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(“Princeton Advisory Group”) (the “PAG Investment Advisory Agreement”), subject to the approval of the
Company’s stockholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June
9, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement, effective June 9, 2016. From June 9,
2016 through December 31, 2017, Princeton Advisory Group acted as the Company’s investment advisor pursuant to the terms
of the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement.
On December 27, 2017, the Board determined
that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to terminate the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement
and terminated Princeton Advisory Group as the Company’s investment advisor, effective as of December 31, 2017 at 11:59
p.m. Eastern Time. Also on December 27, 2017, the Board approved (specifically in accordance with Rule 15a-4(b)(1)(ii) of the
Investment Company Act) and authorized the Company to enter into an Interim Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company
and House Hanover, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“House Hanover”) (the “Interim Investment Advisory
Agreement”), in accordance with Rule 15a-4 of the Investment Company Act. The effective date of the Interim Investment Advisory
Agreement was January 1, 2018.
On April 5, 2018, the Board, including
a majority of the independent directors, conditionally approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and House
Hanover (the “House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement”) subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders
at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement replaced the Interim Investment Advisory
Agreement. On May 30, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement. The effective
date of the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement was May 31, 2018. The House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement was
last annually renewed by the Board and by a majority of the members of the Board who are not parties to the House Hanover Investment
Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, in accordance
with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement on May 9, 2019.
Since January 1, 2018, House Hanover has
acted as our investment advisor under the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement (from January 1, 2018 until May 31, 2018) and
the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement (since May 31, 2018).
On November 15, 2019, our Board announced
that the Company has initiated a strategic review process to identify, examine, and consider a range of strategic alternatives
available to the Company, including but not limited to, (i) selling the Company’s assets to a business development company
or other potential buyer, (ii) merging with another business development company, (iii) liquidating the Company’s assets
in accordance with a plan of liquidation, (iv) raising additional funds for the Company, or (v) otherwise entering into another
business combination, with the objective of maximizing stockholder value.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources
We intend to continue to generate cash from
future offerings of securities and cash flows from operations, including earnings on investments in our portfolio and future investments,
as well as interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments
that mature in one year or less. We may, if permitted by regulation, seek various forms of leverage and borrow funds to make investments.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $382,986 in
cash and restricted cash, and our net assets totaled $33,280,329. We believe that our anticipated cash flows from operations will
be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations for at least the next 12 months.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
In accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate
portfolio company investments. The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. As an investment company,
as defined by the 1940 Act, the Company follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 – Financial Services - Investment
Companies, which is U.S. GAAP.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect
previously reported amounts of net income.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management 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 income and expenses during the reporting period.
Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used
in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ. It is likely that changes in these estimates will occur in
the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ materially from
such estimates.
Portfolio Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments
in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are defined as investments
in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those non-control investments in companies in which the
Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined
as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had control
investments in Advantis Certified Staffing Solutions, Inc., PCC SBH Sub, Inc., Rockfish Holdings, LLC, Rockfish Seafood Grill,
Inc., Integrated Medical Partners, LLC and Dominion Medical Management, Inc. as defined under the 1940 Act. As of December 31,
2018, the Company had control investments in Advantis Certified Staffing Solutions, Inc., PCC SBH Sub, Inc., Rockfish Holdings,
LLC, Rockfish Seafood Grill, Inc., Integrated Medical Partners, LLC and Dominion Medical Management, Inc. as defined under the
1940 Act.
Investments are recognized when we assume
an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments
are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forgo the risks for gains and losses related
to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments in other non-security
financial instruments, such as limited partnerships or private companies, are recorded on the basis of subscription date or redemption
date, as applicable. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as receivables for investments
sold or payable for investments acquired, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Valuation of Investments
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value
is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”)
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, our board of
directors uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs
and is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
Observable inputs are those that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the board of
directors. Unobservable inputs reflect our board of director’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
With respect to investments for which
market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as
described below:
|
●
|
Our
quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially
valued by an independent valuation firm, except for those investments where market quotations
are readily available;
|
|
●
|
Preliminary
valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and
our investment advisor.
|
|
●
|
The
valuation committee of our board of directors then reviews these preliminary valuations
and approves them for recommendation to the board of directors;
|
|
●
|
The
board of directors then discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment
in our portfolio in good faith, based on the input of our investment advisor, the independent
valuation firm and the valuation committee.

PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for
measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based
on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that
are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of
judgment.
Level 2 — Valuations based
on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Valuations based
on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The availability of valuation techniques
and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security,
whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination
of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized
due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation,
those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the
securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the board of directors in determining fair value is greatest
for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels
of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair value is a market-based measure considered
from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are
not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date,
including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced
for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation Processes
The Company establishes valuation processes
and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
are fair, consistent, and verifiable. The Company’s board of directors designates a Valuation Committee (the “Committee”)
to oversee the entire valuation process of the Company’s Level 3 investments. The Committee is comprised of independent
directors and reports to the Company’s board of directors. The Committee is responsible for developing the Company’s
written valuation processes and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of the valuation policies, and evaluating the overall
fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies.
The Committee meets on a quarterly basis,
or more frequently as needed, to determine the valuations of the Company’s Level 3 investments. Valuations determined by
the Committee are required to be supported by market data, third-party pricing sources, industry accepted pricing models, counterparty
prices, or other methods that the Committee deems to be appropriate.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
The Company will periodically test its
valuations of Level 3 investments through performing back testing of the sales of such investments by comparing the amounts realized
against the most recent fair values reported, and if necessary, uses the findings to recalibrate its valuation procedures. On
a quarterly basis, the Company engages the services of a nationally recognized third-party valuation firm to perform an independent
valuation of the Company’s Level 3 investments. Beginning with the period ending June 30, 2019, the Company engaged a new
third-party valuation firm to perform its independent valuations of the Company’s Level 3 investments. This valuation
firm provides a range of values for selected investments, which is presented to the Valuation Committee to determine the value
for each of the selected investments.
Investment Valuation
We expect that most of our portfolio investments
will take the form of securities that are not publicly traded. The fair value of loans, securities and other investments that
are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable, and we will value these investments at fair value as determined in good
faith by our board of directors, including reflecting significant events affecting the value of our investments. Most, if not
all, of our investments (other than cash and cash equivalents) will be classified as Level 3 under Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, or ASC 820. This means that our
portfolio valuations will be based on unobservable inputs and our own assumptions about how market participants would price the
asset or liability in question. We expect that inputs into the determination of fair value of our portfolio investments will require
significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable market data are available, such information may be the result
of consensus pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price
in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimers materially reduces
the reliability of such information. We expect to retain the services of one or more independent service providers to review the
valuation of these loans and securities. The types of factors that the board of directors may take into account in determining
the fair value of our investments generally include, as appropriate, comparison to publicly traded securities including such factors
as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value
of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets
in which the portfolio company does business and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations
of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based
on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market
for these loans and securities existed. Our net asset value could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair
value of our investments were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such loans and
securities.
We will adjust the valuation of our portfolio
quarterly to reflect our board of directors’ determination of the fair value of each investment in our portfolio. Any changes
in fair value are recorded in our statement of operations as net change in unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Debt Securities
The Company’s portfolio consists
primarily of first lien loans, second lien loans, and unsecured loans. Investments for which market quotations are readily available
(“Level 2 Loans”) are generally valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing
service or broker-dealers. For other debt investments (“Level 3 Loans”), market quotations are not available and other
techniques are used to determine fair value. The Company considers its Level 3 Loans to be performing if the borrower is not in
default, the borrower is remitting payments in a timely manner, the loan is in covenant compliance or is otherwise not deemed
to be impaired. In determining the fair value of the performing Level 3 Loans, the Board considers fluctuations in current interest
rates, the trends in yields of debt instruments with similar credit ratings, financial condition of the borrower, economic conditions,
success and prepayment fees, and other relevant factors, both qualitative and quantitative. In the event that a Level 3 Loan instrument
is not performing, as defined above, the Board may evaluate the value of the collateral utilizing the same framework described
above for a performing loan to determine the value of the Level 3 Loan instrument.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Equity Investments
Our equity investments, including common
stock, membership interests, and warrants, are generally valued using a market approach and income approach. The income approach
utilizes primarily the discount rate to value the investment whereas the primary inputs for the market approach are the earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple and revenue multiples. The Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model, a valuation technique that follows the income approach, is used to allocate the value of the equity to the
investment. The pricing model takes into account the contract terms (including maturity) as well as multiple inputs, including
time value, implied volatility, equity prices, risk free rates, and interest rates.
Valuation of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s
other, non-investment, financial instruments, consisting of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate
fair value due to their short-term nature.
Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company deposits its cash and restricted
cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured
limit; however, management does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk.
The following table provides a reconciliation
of cash and restricted cash reporting within the statements of assets and liabilities that sum to the total of the same such amounts
shown in the statements of cash flows:

As of December 31, 2019 restricted cash
consisted of cash held for deposit with the law firm that represents the Company in its litigation with Great Value Storage, LLC.
As of December 31, 2018, there was no restricted cash.
U.S. Treasury Bills
At the end of each fiscal quarter, we
may take proactive steps to be in compliance with the RIC diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code, which are
dependent upon the composition of our total assets at quarter end. We may accomplish this in several ways, including purchasing
U.S. Treasury Bills and closing out positions after quarter-end. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did
not purchase any U. S Treasury Bills.
Revenue Recognition
Realized gains or losses on the sale of
investments are calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference
between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized
appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties.
Interest income, adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, closing and/or commitment
fees associated with senior and subordinated secured loans are accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the
applicable loans. Upon the prepayment of a senior or subordinated secured loan, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan
origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as interest income. Generally, when a payment default occurs on a loan
in the portfolio, or if the Company otherwise believes that the borrower will not be able to make contractual interest
payments, the Company may place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on the loan until all
principal and interest is current through payment, or until a restructuring occurs, and the interest income is deemed to be
collectible. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if a loan has sufficient collateral value, is in the process of
collection or is viewed to be able to pay all amounts due if the loan were to be collected on through an investment in or
sale of the business, the sale of the assets of the business, or some portion or combination thereof.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
Structuring fees, excess deal deposits,
prepayment fees and similar fees are recognized as income as earned, usually when paid.
Other fee income from investment sources,
includes annual fees and monitoring fees from our portfolio investments and are included in other income from non-control/non-affiliate
investments and other income from affiliate investments. Income from such sources for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018
and 2017 was $26,421, $44,872 and $47,259 respectively.
Other income from non-investment sources
is generally comprised of interest income earned on cash in the Company’s bank account. However, for the year ended December
31, 2018, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement effective November 27, 2018 with a former vendor/provider
of services in which the Company received $1,294,754 on December 4, 2018, which is included in Other Income from non-investment
sources. For the year ended December 31, 2017, $1,060,039 was booked as other income resulting from the reversal of previously
accrued legal invoices related to the Settlement Agreement with the law firms described in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting
Policies – Legal Fees” and is included in Other income from non-investment sources.
Payment-in-Kind Interest (“PIK”)
We have investments in our portfolio that
contain a PIK interest provision. Any PIK interest is added to the principal balance of such investments and is recorded as income,
if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018
and 2017 PIK interest was $211,102, $188,353 and $133,444, respectively. In order to qualify as a RIC, substantially all of this
income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even if we have not collected any cash. For the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and through the date of issuance of this report, no dividends have been paid out to stockholders.
Net Change in Unrealized Gain or Loss
Net change in unrealized gain or loss
will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded
unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
Legal Fees
Legal fees invoiced to the Company for
the year ended December 31, 2019, were incurred in the normal operating course of business and are included in legal fees on the
Statement of Operations.
The Company incurred legal fees related
to the lawsuit captioned Capital Link Fund I, LLC, et al. v. Capital Point Management, LP, et al. as disclosed in Note
9. Up until the agreements to settle in December 2017, it was undeterminable as to the ultimate responsibility for amounts invoiced
to the Company by two law firms that provided services, as these invoices were for all of such law firm’s fees even though
they represented multiple parties and the Company believed that some of these services rendered were provided solely or primarily
for the benefit of other represented parties. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company was not invoiced any
legal fees by these two law firms related to this lawsuit. As of December 31, 2017, the Company reached an agreement with the
two law firms and paid them $330,000 to settle all outstanding invoices. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, the Company reduced
accounts payable by $1,060,039 as a result of the settlements. Other legal fees incurred in the normal operating course of business
and legal fees incurred for claims against a former vendor/provider of services invoiced to the Company for the years ended December
31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, are included in professional fees on the Statements of Operations.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
The Company incurred legal fees related
to the lawsuit against Great Value Storage, LLC (“GVS”). The amounts invoiced to the Company for the years ended December
31, 2019 and 2018 were $106,727 and $18,471 respectively. These amounts are recoverable per the loan agreements and are invoiced
to GVS and included in the account Due from portfolio companies on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Federal and State Income Taxes
The Company was taxed as a regular corporation
(a “C corporation”) under subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for its 2018 and 2017 taxable
years. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
for tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected
to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company did not meet the qualifications
of a RIC for the 2018 and 2017 tax years and was taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. The failure to qualify
as a RIC, however, did not impact the 2018 tax year as the Company used net operating losses and capital losses from 2017 that
it carried forward to offset taxable income. The failure to qualify as a RIC also did not impact the 2017 tax year as the Company
incurred tax losses. As a result of the losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company intends to carry forward
the net operating losses to future periods in which the Company generates taxable income to reduce its tax liability.
The Company did not meet the qualifications
of a RIC for the 2019 tax year and will be taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. It may not be in the best interests
of the Company’s stockholders to elect to be taxed as a RIC at the present time due to the net operating losses and capital
loss carryforwards the Company currently has. Management will make a determination that is in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.
In order to qualify as a RIC, among other
things, the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders on a timely basis at least 90% of investment company taxable
income, as defined by the Code, for each year. So long as the Company achieves its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay
corporate-level U.S. federal and state income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually
to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company will represent obligations
of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company.
The Company evaluates tax positions taken
or expected to be taken while preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not”
of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where
the position has met the “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company classifies penalties and interest associated
with income taxes, if any, as income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted
at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations
thereof.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to common
stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a dividend is approved by our board of directors
each quarter and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our earnings for the quarter. For the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and through the date of issuance of this report, no dividends have been declared or distributed
to stockholders.
Per Share Information
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented.
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) per share by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus,
any potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same, since there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Capital Accounts
Certain capital accounts including undistributed
net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss, accumulated net unrealized gain or loss, and paid-in capital in
excess of par, are adjusted, at least annually, for permanent differences between book and tax. In addition, the character of
income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740); Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 118”. This ASU provides accounting and disclosure guidance relating to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act pursuant to the issuance
of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The guidance allows a company to report provisional amounts when reasonable estimates
are determinable for certain income tax effects relating to the Act. These provisional amounts may give rise to new current or
deferred taxes based on certain provisions within the Act, as well as adjustments to existing current or deferred taxes that existed
prior to the Act’s enactment date. Adoption of ASU 2018-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for
Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 on this update eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements
on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed
or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.
Management has evaluated the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business, the
Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual
obligations on its behalf. Management monitors the financial condition of such financial institutions and does not anticipate
any losses from these counterparties.

FROM OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE

and 2018, there were no transfers between Level, 1, Level 2 or Level 3.
The following table presents additional

fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses
for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes
in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Beginning with the period ending June
30, 2019, the Company engaged a new third-party valuation firm to perform its independent valuation for the Company’s Level
3 investments.
The Company’s remaining Level 3
investments aggregating approximately $1,200 have been valued using unadjusted third party transactions. As a result, there
were no unobservable inputs that have been internally developed by the Company in determining the fair values of these investments
as of December 31, 2019.

Total Level 3 Investments
|

|
38,582,735
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company’s remaining Level 3
investments aggregating approximately $1,200 have been valued using unadjusted third party transactions. As a result, there
were no unobservable inputs that have been internally developed by the Company in determining the fair values of these investments
as of December 31, 2018.
As of December 31, 2019 and December 31,
2018, the Company used both market and income approaches to value certain equity investments as the Company felt this approach
better reflected the fair value of these investments. By considering multiple valuation approaches (and consequently, multiple
valuation techniques), the valuation approaches and techniques are not likely to change from one period of measurement to the
next; however, the weighting of each in determining the final fair value of a Level 3 investment may change based on recent events
or transactions. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies” for more detail.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
The Company considers all relevant information
that can reasonably be obtained when determining the fair value of Level 3 investments. Due to any given portfolio company’s
information rights, changes in capital structure, recent events, transactions, or liquidity events, the type and availability
of unobservable inputs may change. Increases (decreases) in revenue multiples, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”)
multiples, time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values all else equal. Decreases
(increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates, would result in higher (lower) fair values all else equal. The
market approach utilizes market value (revenue and EBIT) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent
sales transactions of comparable companies. The Company carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies
whose multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization,
similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. In general,
precedent transactions include recent rounds of financing, recent purchases made by the Company, and tender offers. Refer to “Note
2—Significant Accounting Policies” for more detail.
The primary significant unobservable input
used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities (first lien loans, second lien loans and unsecured loans),
including income-producing investments in funds, is the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate
in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In determining the discount rate, for the
income (discounted cash flow) or yield approach, the Company considers current market yields and multiples, portfolio company
performance, leverage levels and credit quality, among other factors in its analysis. Changes in one or more of these factors
can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate discount rate to use in the income approach.
The primary significant unobservable inputs
used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments are the EBITDA multiple and revenue multiple, which
is used to determine the Enterprise Value. Significant increases (decreases) in the Enterprise Value in isolation would result
in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. To determine the Enterprise Value for the market approach, the Company
considers current market trading and/or transaction multiples, portfolio company performance (financial ratios) relative to public
and private peer companies and leverage levels, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar
directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate multiple to use in the market approach.
The primary unobservable inputs used in
the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments, when using an option pricing model to allocate the equity
value to the investment, are the discount rate for lack of marketability and volatility. Significant increases (decreases) in
the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases)
in the volatility in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes in one or more factors
can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate discount rate or volatility to use in the
valuation of equity using an option pricing model.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount of federal net
operating loss carryforwards was approximately $1,775,776 and $741,630, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards
in the amount of $741,630 will expire in 2037. The federal net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $1,034,146 will not
expire, but can only be used to offset 80% of taxable income. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount of federal capital
loss carryforwards was approximately $5,292,216 and $5,292,216, respectively. The federal capital loss carryforwards in the amount
of $5,287,431 and $4,785 will expire in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
The recognition of a valuation allowance
for deferred taxes requires management to make estimates and judgments about the Company’s future profitability which are
inherently uncertain. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes that the likelihood
of realizing the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2019, does not meet the “more likely than not
threshold” as defined in ASC 740 – Income Taxes and thus management has recorded a full valuation allowance.
For federal and state purposes, a portion
of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and basis differences may be subject to limitations on annual utilization
in case of a change in ownership, as defined by federal and state law. The amount of such limitations, if any, has not been determined.
Accordingly, the amount of such tax attributes available to offset future profits may be significantly less than the actual amounts
of the tax attributes.
The difference between the tax provision
(benefit) at the statutory federal income tax rate and the tax provision (benefit) was as follows:

The Company did not meet the qualifications
of a RIC for the 2019 tax year and will be taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. It may not be in the best interests
of the Company’s stockholders to elect to be taxed as a RIC at the present time due to the net operating losses and capital
loss carryforwards the Company currently has. Management will make a determination that is in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders. As a RIC, the Company generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary
income or capital gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders as dividends and claims dividends paid deductions to
compute taxable income. A RIC will not be eligible to utilize net operating losses. However, the net operating losses may become
available should the Company disqualify as a RIC and become a C corporation in the future. In the event that the Company qualifies
as a RIC, the Company itself will no longer be required to recognize deferred tax assets or liabilities.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
In addition to meeting other requirements,
the Company must generally distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income to qualify for the special treatment
accorded to a RIC and, if the Company qualifies, to maintain its RIC status. As part of maintaining RIC status, undistributed
taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given fiscal year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to
the end of that fiscal year, provided such dividends are declared prior to the later of (1) the fifteenth day of the ninth month
following the close of that fiscal year or (2) the extended due date for filing the federal income tax return for that fiscal
year.
The Company did not have any unrecognized
tax benefits as of the period presented herein. The Company identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and Massachusetts.
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, no income tax expenses or related liabilities for uncertain tax positions
were recognized for the Company’s open tax years from inception through the present. The Company is not aware of any tax
positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in
the next 12 months.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted
on December 22, 2017. A key provision of the act was the reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21% for tax years beginning January
1, 2018. The Company has re-measured its deferred tax assets and liabilities and this re-measurement will be offset by a change
in the valuation allowance during the corresponding period.
NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transition of Investment Advisory Agreements
Our board of directors, including a majority
of our independent directors, conditionally approved the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and Princeton Advisory
Group at its meeting held on January 18, 2016, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders at the 2016 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. On June 9, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement. The
effective date of the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement was June 9, 2016. At a Special Meeting of the Board held on June 27, 2017,
the Board, including a majority of the independent directors of the Board, voted to renew the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement
for another one year term, pursuant to the requirements of Section 9(c) of the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement and Section 15(c)
of the 1940 Act. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors and in accordance with the 1940 Act, Princeton Advisory
Group managed our day-to-day operations and provided investment advisory services to us until the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement
was terminated effective December 31, 2017.
As disclosed elsewhere in this 10-K (including
Note 1), House Hanover has served as the Company’s investment advisor since January 1, 2018 pursuant to the Interim Investment
Advisory Agreement and the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement.
Since the transition of investment advisors
occurred during the periods covered under the financial statements included in this Form 10-K, we have disclosed the material
terms of the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement and the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement, beginning with the PAG Investment
Advisory Agreement.
PAG Investment Advisory Agreement
Under the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement,
the administrative services of the Company were provided by Princeton Advisory Group. Inc. and subject to reimbursement of administrative
related expenses under the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement.
Advisory Services
Princeton Advisory Group is registered
as an investment adviser under the 1940 Act, and from June 9, 2016 until December 31, 2017, served as the Company’s investment
advisor pursuant to the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement in accordance with the 1940 Act. Princeton Advisory Group was owned
by and an affiliate of Mr. Munish Sood, the Company’s former President, former Chief Executive Officer, and a former director
of the Company.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Subject to supervision by the Company’s
Board of Directors, Princeton Advisory Group oversaw the Company’s day-to-day operations and provided the Company with investment
advisory services. Under the terms of the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement, Princeton Advisory Group, among other things: (i)
determined the composition and allocation of the portfolio of the Company, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the
manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identified, evaluated and negotiated the structure of the investments made by the Company;
(iii) executed, monitored and serviced the Company’s investments; (iv) determined the securities and other assets that the
Company shall purchase, retain, or sell; (v) performed due diligence on prospective portfolio companies;
(vi) provided the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to
time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds; and (vii) if directed by the Board, would assist in the execution and
closing of the sale of the Company’s assets or a sale of the equity of the Company in one or more transactions. Princeton
Advisory Group’s services under the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement were not exclusive and it was free to furnish similar
services to other entities so long as its services to the Company were not impaired.
Management Fee
Pursuant to the PAG Investment Advisory
Agreement, the Company paid Princeton Advisory Group a base management fee for investment advisory and management services. The
cost of the base management fee was ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders. The PAG Investment Advisory Agreement
did not include an incentive fee to Princeton Advisory Group, as would be typical of many external investment advisory agreements.
The base management fee was calculated
at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms
of leverage and excluding cash and cash equivalents net of all indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money and other liabilities
of the Company. The base management fee was payable quarterly in arrears, and determined as set forth in the preceding sentence
at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to the quarter for which such fees were being calculated.
The Board of Directors was permitted to retroactively adjust the valuation of the Company’s assets and the resulting calculation
of the base management fee in the event the Company or any of its assets are sold or transferred to an independent third party
or the Company or Princeton Advisory Group received an audit report or other independent third party valuation of the Company.
To the extent that any such adjustment increases or decreases the base management fee of any prior period, the Company would have
been obligated to pay the amount of increase to Princeton Advisory Group or Princeton Advisory Group would have been obligated
to refund the decreased amount, as applicable.
Management fees under the PAG Investment
Advisory Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $0 and $407,609, respectively. As of December
31, 2018, management fees of $19,282 were payable to Princeton Advisory Group.
Incentive Fee
The Company was not obligated to pay Princeton
Advisory Group an incentive fee.
Payment of Expenses
Princeton Advisory Group bore all compensation
expense (including health insurance, pension benefits, payroll taxes and other compensation related matters) of its employees
and bore the costs of any salaries or directors’ fees of any officers or directors of the Company who were affiliated persons
(as defined in the 1940 Act) of Princeton Advisory Group. However, Princeton Advisory Group, subject to approval by the Board
of Directors of the Company, was entitled to reimbursement for the portion of any compensation expense and the costs of any salaries
of any such employees to the extent attributable to services performed by such employees for the Company. During the term of the
PAG Investment Advisory Agreement, Princeton Advisory Group also bore all of its costs and expenses for office space rental, office
equipment, utilities and other non-compensation related overhead allocable to performance of its obligations under the PAG Investment
Advisory Agreement.
Except as provided in the preceding paragraph
the Company reimbursed Princeton Advisory Group all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by it during the term of the
PAG Investment Advisory Agreement for: (i) due diligence of potential investments of the Company, (ii) monitoring performance
of the Company’s investments, (iii) serving as officers of the Company, (iv) serving as directors and officers of portfolio
companies of the Company, (v) providing managerial assistance to portfolio companies of the Company, and (vi) enforcing the Company’s
rights in respect of its investments and disposing of its investments; provided, however, that, any third party expenses incurred
by Princeton Advisory Group in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate in any calendar quarter required advance approval by the Board
of Directors of the Company.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

was also responsible for the payment of all of the Company’s other expenses, including the payment of the following fees

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Duration and Termination
Unless terminated earlier as described
below, the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement was to continue in effect for a period of one (1) year from its effective date. It
was to remain in effect from year to year thereafter if approved annually by the Company’s Board or by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, and, in either case, if also approved by a
majority of the of Company’s directors who are neither parties to the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement nor “interested
persons” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of any such party. The PAG Investment Advisory Agreement was permitted to be terminated
at any time, without the payment of any penalty, (i) upon written notice, effective on the date set forth in such notice, by the
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or by the vote of the Company’s directors, or (ii)
upon 60 days’ written notice, by Princeton Advisory Group. The PAG Investment Advisory Agreement would have automatically
terminated in the event of its “assignment,” as defined in the 1940 Act. As disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-K
(including Note 1), the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement was terminated as of December 31, 2017. The Company did not pay any
early termination penalties as a result of the termination of the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement.
Indemnification
The PAG Investment Advisory Agreement
provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of their duties, or by reason of the material
breach or reckless disregard of their duties and obligations under the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement (and to the extent specified
in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally
determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services), Princeton Advisory Group and its
officers, managers, employees and members are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering
of Princeton Advisory Group’s services under the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise as the Company’s investment
advisor. The amounts payable for indemnification would be calculated net of payments recovered by the indemnified party under
any insurance policy with respect to such losses.
At all times during the term of the PAG
Investment Advisory Agreement and for one year thereafter, Princeton Advisory Group was obligated to maintain directors and officers/errors
and omission liability insurance in an amount and with a provider reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company.
Administration Services and Sub-Administration
Agreement
Princeton Advisory Group was entitled
to reimbursement of expenses under the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement for administrative services performed for the Company.
Princeton Advisory Group engaged Conifer
Asset Solutions LLC (the “Sub-Administrator”) to provide certain administrative services to us. As of December 15,
2016, Conifer Asset Solutions LLC’s parent company, Conifer Financial Services, LLC, was acquired by SS&C Technologies
Holdings, Inc. In exchange for provided services, the Administrator pays the Sub-Administrator an asset-based fee with an annual
minimum as adjusted for any reimbursement of expenses. The minimum annual fee rate is $125,000 through June 9, 2017 and increases
to a minimum annual fee rate of $150,000 from June 10, 2017 through December 31, 2017. This asset-based fee will vary depending
upon our gross assets, as adjusted, as follows:
Gross Assets

fees payable by the Company. Neither the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement nor the PAG Investment Advisory Agreement,
contain an incentive fee component, as would be typical of many external investment advisory agreements.
The terms and conditions of the House
Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement and the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement are substantially similar, except that (i)
the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement did not require approval in accordance with Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act and (ii) the
duration of the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement is one year from the effective date (May 31, 2018) and thereafter
shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually
by (a) the vote of the Board, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (b) the vote
of a majority of the members of the Board who are not parties to the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement or “interested
persons” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of any such party, in accordance with the requirements
of the 1940 Act, as opposed to a 150-day limitation on the term, as set forth in the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement.
Advisory Services
House Hanover is registered as an investment
adviser under the 1940 Act and serves as the Company’s investment advisor pursuant to the House Hanover Investment Advisory
Agreement in accordance with the 1940 Act. House Hanover is owned by and an affiliate of Mr. Mark DiSalvo, the Company’s
Interim President, Interim Chief Executive Officer, and a director of the Company.
Subject to supervision by the Company’s
Board, House Hanover oversees the Company’s day-to-day operations and provide the Company with investment advisory services.
Under the terms of the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement, House Hanover, among other things: (i) determines the composition
and allocation of the portfolio of the Company, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such
changes; (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments made by the Company; (iii) executes, closes,
services and monitors the Company’s investments; (iv) determines the securities and other assets that the Company shall
purchase, retain, or sell; (v) performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; (vi) provides the Company with such
other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment
of its funds; and (vii) if directed by the Board, assists in the execution and closing of the sale of the Company’s assets
or a sale of the equity of the Company in one or more transactions. House Hanover’s services under the House Hanover Investment
Advisory Agreement may not be exclusive and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to
the Company are not impaired. At the request of the Company, House Hanover, upon any transition of the Company’s investment
advisory relationship to another investment advisor or upon any internalization, shall provide reasonable transition assistance
to the Company and any successor investment advisor.
Management Fee
Pursuant to the House Hanover Investment
Advisory Agreement, the Company pays House Hanover a base management fee for investment advisory and management services. The
cost of the base management fee is ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders. The House Hanover Investment Advisory
Agreement does not contain an incentive fee component.
The base management fee is calculated
at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms
of leverage and excluding cash and cash equivalents net of all indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money and other liabilities
of the Company. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and determined as set forth in the preceding sentence
at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Board may retroactively adjust the valuation of the Company’s
assets and the resulting calculation of the base management fee in the event the Company or any of its assets are sold or transferred
to an independent third party or the Company or House Hanover receives an audit report or other independent third party valuation
of the Company. To the extent that any such adjustment increases or decreases the base management fee of any prior period, the
Company will be obligated to pay the amount of increase to House Hanover or House Hanover will be obligated to refund the decreased
amount, as applicable.
Management fees under the House Hanover
Investment Advisory Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $364,135 and $402,750. As of December 31, 2019
and December 31, 2018, management fees of $285,138 and $81,296, respectively were payable to House Hanover.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the
Company may enter into investment agreements under which it commits to make an investment in a portfolio company at some future
date or over a specified period of time. The Company maintains sufficient assets to provide adequate cover to allow it to satisfy
its unfunded commitment amount as of December 31, 2019. The unfunded commitment is accounted for under ASC 820. As of the date
of this report, all commitments have been funded.
On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into
a Lease Guaranty Agreement to guaranty a portion of a lease entered into by Rockfish Seafood Grill, Inc. The Company’s guaranty
is limited to the total tenant improvement allowance and the total amount of commissions that the landlord provided in connection
with the lease. The total guaranteed amount by the Company is approximately $292,701 and reduces proportionally after each of
the first sixty months of the lease, which commenced in November 2015, so long as no uncured event of default exists. As of December
31, 2019, the guaranteed amount was reduced to $63,419.

Legal Proceedings
On or around September 8, 2015, a lawsuit
was filed captioned Capital Link Fund I, LLC, et al. v. Capital Point Management, LP, et al., C.A. No. 11483-VCN in the
Delaware Court of Chancery.
The following description of the settlement
agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit
99.1 to the 8-K filed on January 22, 2016:
On January 19, 2016, the Company, Princeton
Advisory Group, Inc., Gregory J. Cannella, Munish Sood, Thomas Jones, Jr. and Trennis L. Jones (together the “Independent
Directors” and the Independent Directors together with the Company, Princeton Advisory Group, Inc., Cannella and Sood, the
“Settling Defendants”) on the one hand, entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with
Capital Link Fund I, LLC (“Capital Link”), CT Horizon Legacy Fund, LP (“CT Horizon”), CPP, and Sema4,
Inc. (“Semaphore” and together with Capital Link, CT Horizon and CPP I, the “Plaintiffs” or the “Capital
Point Parties”) on the other hand. CPP I is the Company’s largest stockholder.
Subject to the terms and conditions contained
therein, the Settlement Agreement settles between the Plaintiffs and the Settling Defendants the disputes described in the lawsuit.
No monies were paid or exchanged by any of the parties as a part of the settlement and none of the parties admitted any wrongdoing.
For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following is a party to the Settlement Agreement: Alfred Jackson (“Jackson”),
Martin Tuchman (“Tuchman”), Capital Point Management, LP (“CPM”), Capital Point Advisors, LP (“CPA”)
or Princeton Investment Advisors, LLC (“PIA,” and, together with Jackson, Tuchman, CPM and CPA, collectively the “Non-Settling
Defendants”). As part of the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Sood and Cannella waived any rights to indemnification they
may have had against the Company as it relates to the lawsuit. Subsequently, pursuant to a written agreement among the Company,
Jackson, CPM, CPA, and PIA, Jackson waived any rights to indemnification that he may have had against the Company.
On June 17, 2016, a Stipulation and Order
of Dismissal of Claims (the “Dismissal Order”) against the Settling Defendants (which includes the Company) and Tuchman
(collectively, the “Dismissed Defendants”) was entered in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Dismissal Order, which
was dated June 10, 2016, dismissed with prejudice the claims brought by the Plaintiffs against the Dismissed Defendants. The Dismissal
Order did not dismiss the claims against Jackson, CPM, CPA or PIA.
On February 24, 2017, a Stipulation and
Order of Dismissal of Claims (the “Dismissal Order II”) against Jackson, CPM, CPA and PIA was entered in the Delaware
Court of Chancery. The Dismissal Order II, which was dated February 24, 2017, dismissed with prejudice the claims brought by the
Plaintiffs against Jackson, CPM, CPA and PIA. Terms of any settlement were not disclosed and all claims with respect to the lawsuit
have now been dismissed, signifying that the status quo order that included the Company has now been lifted.
As a result of the allegations contained
in the complaints filed by the United States of America against Munish Sood, the former President, Chief Executive Officer, and
director of the Company, and others captioned U.S. v. Lamont Evans, et al. and U.S. v. James Gotto, et al., in the
Southern District of New York., on September 27, 2017 and as previously disclosed, the Board authorized and directed its Audit
Committee (which consists of the Board’s three independent board members) to conduct an independent investigation into whether
such events impacted the Company, and the extent to which any officer or employee of the Company may have been involved, and whether
any corporate funds may have been utilized in the conduct alleged.
Mr. Sood resigned from his positions as
a director, Chief Executive Officer, and President, effective September 27, 2017. The Company has been informed that Mr. Sood
plead guilty to charges of bribery and fraud in August of 2018.
From time to time, the Company may be
a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of
the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. The Company is not currently subject to any material
legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.

On March 14, 2019, we filed a complaint
against Great Value Storage, LLC (“GVS”), World Class Capital Group, LLC, and Natin Paul, which we refer to collectively
as the GVS Defendants, in the District Court for Harris County, Texas. GVS is one of the Company’s portfolio companies. The
complaint alleges that the GVS Defendants are in breach of certain contractual obligations under a Note Purchase Agreement entered
into between the parties on July 31, 2012, as amended (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), including failure to make payments
owed to the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company seeks (i) actual damages, (ii) special, statutory, or exemplary
damages, (iii) pre-judgment interest, (iv) post-judgment interest, (v) court costs, (vi) reasonable attorneys’ fees, and
(vii) all other relief to which the Company may be entitled to under law or equity. On April 15, 2019, the GVS Defendants filed
an Answer with Request for Disclosure. The action is pending in the Harris County District Court. The Company has not received
financial statements from GVS since August 2018.
NOTE 10 – UNCONSOLIDATED SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDIARIES
The Company’s investments are primarily
in private small and lower middle-market companies. In accordance with Rules 3.09 and 4.08(g) of Regulation S-X, the Company must
determine which of its unconsolidated controlled portfolio companies are considered “significant subsidiaries”, if
any. In evaluating these investments, there are three tests utilized to determine if any of the Company’s control investments
are considered significant subsidiaries; the investment, the asset, and the income significant tests. Rule 3.09 of Regulation
S-X, as interpreted by the SEC, requires the Company to include separate audited financial statements of any unconsolidated majority-owned
or controlled subsidiary in this filing if either the investment or income significant test exceeds 20% of the Company’s
total investments at fair value or total income, respectively. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information
of an unconsolidated subsidiary in this filing if it does not qualify under Rule 3.09 of Regulation S-X and any of the three significant
tests exceeds 10% of the Company’s total investments at fair value, total assets or total income.
The Company has determined that Rockfish Seafood
Grill, Inc., a majority owned or control investment was considered a significant subsidiary at the 20% level at December 31, 2019
as prescribed under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. Due to recent economic events surrounding COVID-19, its impact on the economy
and specifically the restaurant industry, Rockfish Seafood Grill, Inc. is unable to complete its audit for the fiscal year ended
December 25, 2019 without unreasonable effort and expense. Summarized financial information has been included below. We will amend
this Annual Report on Form 10-K to include the financial statements of Rockfish Seafood Grill, Inc. for the year ended December
25, 2019 when the audit has been completed. The audited financial statements of Rockfish Seafood Grill, Inc. for the years ended
December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 were previously disclosed in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2019.
The Company has determined that Integrated Medical Partners, LLC,
one of its majority owned or control investments, was considered significant subsidiaries at the 10% level at December 31, 2019
as prescribed under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X. The table below represents the summarized financial information of these unconsolidated
subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2019.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Portfolio Activity
|
●
|
On
January 6, 2020, Lone Star Brewery Development, Inc. (“Lone Star”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parkview Capital Credit (“Parkview”), filed for bankruptcy
protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Lone Star’s sole asset is a 32-acre
parcel of land located at the site of the former Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio, Texas.
Pursuant to the bankruptcy rules as they relate to single asset real estate bankruptcies,
Lone Star had 90 days from the date of its bankruptcy filing to file a restructuring
plan to exit bankruptcy or, if a plan is not filed, to begin making interest payments
to its lenders. On February 26, 2020, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving
Lone Star’s employment of a real estate broker to market and sell the property.
The procedures to sell the property were subsequently approved by the bankruptcy court
on March 10, 2020.

COVID-19
As the global spread of COVID-19 continues,
we have experienced increased market volatility and economic uncertainties which may materially impact the valuation of portfolio
investments and in turn, the net asset value of the Company. This may have other financial or operational effects, though the
extent of such impact is unpredictable at this time. One of our portfolio investments in the restaurant industry, Rockfish Seafood
Grill, Inc., has been greatly impacted as governmental agencies have mandated the closure of dining room facilities and greatly
reduced their ability to generate revenue for an unknown period of time.
