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”). A goal of a BDC 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 2019 tax year and will
be taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code and doesn’t expect to meet the qualifications of a RIC until such
time as certain strategic alternatives are achieved. While we have sought to invest primarily in private small and lower middle-market
companies in various industries through first lien loans, second lien loans, unsecured loans, unitranche and mezzanine debt financing,
often times with a corresponding equity investment, we are now (with a strategic alternatives process underway and limited resources)
investing only in current investments and otherwise conserving cash. 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.
From June 9, 2016 through December 31,
2017, Princeton Advisory Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Princeton Advisory Group”) acted as the Company’s
investment advisor pursuant to the terms of an investment advisory agreement between the Company and Princeton Advisory Group (the
“PAG Investment Advisory Agreement”).
On December 27, 2017, the board of directors
of the Company (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.
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).

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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The reported amounts for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2020 may not be indicative of the results ultimately achieved for the year ended December 31, 2020 which will be
presented in the Company’s annual report on form 10-K.
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 September 30, 2020, 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,
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.
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.
|
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
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.
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.
PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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.
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

U.S. Treasury Bills
At the end of each fiscal quarter, BDCs
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. BDCs may accomplish this in several ways, including purchasing
U.S. Treasury Bills and closing out positions after quarter-end. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did
not purchase any U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company does not expect to meet the qualifications of a RIC nor anticipate buying U.S.
Treasury Bills until such time as certain strategic alternatives are achieved.
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 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.
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 was $6,064 and $6,328 for the three months ended
September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Income from such sources was $21,088 and $18,776 for the nine months ended September
30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Other income from non-investment sources
is generally comprised of interest income earned on cash in the Company’s bank account. Income from such sources was $1,565
and $402 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income from such sources was $1,872 and $3,009 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
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 three and nine months ended September
30, 2020, PIK interest was $0 and $21,804, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, PIK interest was
$45,090 and $119,975 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.
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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, were incurred in the normal operating course of business and are included
in legal fees on the Statement of Operations.

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 2019 taxable year.
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 2019 tax year and will be taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”). The failure to qualify as a RIC, however, should not impact the 2019 tax year as the Company had net operating
losses and no realized gains in the tax year. Further, the Company has net operating losses and capital losses from prior years
it can carry forward to offset taxable income.
The Company does not expect to meet the
qualifications of a RIC for the 2020 tax year and is likely to be taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. However,
in the event that the Company does meet the qualifications of a RIC for the 2020 tax year, it may not be in the best interests
of the Company’s stockholders to elect to be taxed as a RIC for the 2020 tax year 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, BDCs are 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 BDCs achieve 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 a BDC will represent obligations of the BDC’s investors
and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the BDC. While the Company doesn’t expect to meet the qualifications
of a RIC until such time as certain strategic alternatives are achieved, it can still declare a dividend even though it is not
required to do so.
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 three and nine months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 net
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) per share by the weighted average number of shares outstanding,
plus, any potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same, since there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

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.
NOTE 4 – NET INCREASE (DECREASE) IN NET ASSETS RESULTING
FROM OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE

During the nine months ended September
30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers between Level, 1, Level 2 or Level 3.
The following table presents additional
information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the 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.

The Company’s remaining Level 3 investment,
Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd., of approximately $1,200 has 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
this investment as of December 31, 2019.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31,
2019, 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
September 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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.

PRINCETON CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
Subject to supervision by the Company’s
Board, House Hanover oversees the Company’s day-to-day operations and provides 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

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 earned by House Hanover
for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were $58,382 and $96,055, respectively. Management fees earned
by House Hanover for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were $214,512 and $293,168, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31,
2019, management fees of $499,649 and $285,138, respectively, were payable to House Hanover. House Hanover is allowing management
fees to accrue and not be paid to allow the Company to build its cash balance and analyze the best use of its available funds.
Incentive Fee
The House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement
does not obligate the Company to pay House Hanover an incentive fee. Incentive fees are a typical component of investment advisory
agreements with business development companies.
Payment of Expenses
House Hanover bears all compensation expense
(including health insurance, pension benefits, payroll taxes and other compensation related matters) of its employees and bear
the costs of any salaries or directors’ fees of any officers or directors of the Company who are affiliated persons (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of House Hanover. However, House Hanover, subject to approval by the Board of the Company, is 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 House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement, House Hanover
will also bear 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 House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement.

Duration and Termination
Unless terminated earlier as described
below, the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement will continue in effect for a period of one (1) year from its effective
date. It will 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 Company’s directors who are neither parties to the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement nor “interested
persons” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of any such party. The House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement may 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 House Hanover. The House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement automatically terminates
in the event of its “assignment,” as defined in the 1940 Act.

costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering
of House Hanover’s services under the House Hanover Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise as the Company’s investment

Total return based on net asset value is based upon the change in net asset value per share between the opening and ending net asset values per share in the period. The total returns are not annualized.
|
(3)
|
Financial Highlights for periods of less than one year are annualized and the ratios of operating expenses to average net assets and net investment loss to average net assets are adjusted accordingly. Non-recurring expenses are not annualized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not exclude any non-recurring expenses. Because the ratios are calculated for the Company’s common stock taken as a whole, an individual investor’s ratios may vary from these ratios.

|
Net Operating expenses includes a management fee waiver in the amount of $216,559 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
|
(5)
|
Other income from non-investment sources only includes the reduction of previously accrued expenses totaling $968,256 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 8 – 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 September 30, 2020. 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 September
30, 2020, the guaranteed amount was reduced to $4,878.
Legal Proceedings
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. Other than as described below, as of September 30, 2020, the
Company nor any of its officers or directors is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge,
is any material legal proceeding threatened against them.
Great Value Storage Litigation
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.
Risks and Uncertainties
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., (“Rockfish”) has been greatly impacted as governmental agencies have limited the occupancy of dining room facilities
and reduced their ability to generate revenue for an unknown period of time. Rockfish has applied for and received funding from
the Paycheck Protection Program by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“PPP”) to assist the company in covering
payroll and other non-payroll costs, such as rent and utilities. Other portfolio companies that have received funding from the
PPP include Advantis Occupational Health, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Advantis Certified Staffing Solutions, Inc., Dominion
Medical Management, Inc. and Performance Alloys, LLC.

NOTE 9 – 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 an annual report 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 an annual report 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, respectively.
Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information for interim financial statements, if either the investment
or income significant test exceeds 20% of the Company’s total investments at fair value or total income, respectively.
The Company has determined that Rockfish
Seafood Grill, Inc., one of the Company’s four majority owned or control portfolio companies, was considered a significant
subsidiary at the 20% level at September 30, 2020 as prescribed under Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|
●
|
The Company did not receive the interest payments due on October 1, 2020 and November 1, 2020 from
Performance Alloys, LLC who was not allowed to make them due to a minimum availability threshold on its revolving line of credit
that it must maintain in the underlying agreements with its first lien holder.
|
|
●
|
On October 20, 2020, the Company filed a motion on behalf of
Lone Star Brewery Development, Inc. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas in order to distribute
the remaining funds held in Lone Star Brewery Development, Inc.’s estate to the Company as its only remaining secured creditor.
On November 9, 2020, the court approved the distribution. As of the date of filing, the Company has not yet received the distribution
in the estimated amount of $718,614. The Company is reflecting on its options for further recovery and will file a Form 8-K after
it has completed the disposition of its investment in Lone Star and the final sales proceeds are known.
