RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 5 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS We maintain a conflicts of interest and related-party transactions policy. Nevertheless, from time to time we may hold investments in portfolio companies in which certain members of our management, our Board of Directors, or significant shareholders of ours, are also directly or indirectly invested. In this regard, during the period covered by this report we entered into the following related-party transactions:
| ● | On August 10, 2018, we entered into a loan transaction with Elizabeth Zbikowski who, along with her husband Scott Zbikowski, owned and continues to own approximately 1,765,000 shares of our common stock. In the transaction, we obtained a two-year promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000, which was subsequently amended such that the note presently matures in August 2022. The promissory note bears interest payable monthly at the rate of 10% per annum. The note is secured by the debtors’ pledge to us of 625,000 shares of our common stock. The pledged shares are held in physical custody for us by Millennium Trust Company, as our custodial agent.
| ● | On January 3, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Eastman Investment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Lyle A. Berman, as trustee of the Lyle A. Berman Revocable Trust (collectively, the “Lenders”). Mr. Berman is a director of our Company. Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders made available to us a $5 million revolving line of credit for us to use in the ordinary course of our short-term specialty finance business. See note 7 for further details.
| NOTE 8 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS We maintain a conflicts of interest and related-party transactions policy. Nevertheless, from time to time we may hold investments in portfolio companies in which certain members of our management, our Board of Directors, or significant shareholders of ours, are also directly or indirectly invested. In this regard, during the period covered by this report we entered into the following related-party transactions:

| ● | On January 3, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Eastman Investment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Lyle A. Berman, as trustee of the Lyle A. Berman Revocable Trust (collectively, the "Lenders"). Mr. Berman is a director of our company. Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders made available to us a $5 million revolving line of credit for us to use in the ordinary course of our short-term specialty finance business. Amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement accrue interest at the per annum rate of 8%, and all our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a grant of a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets.
As a Lender, Mr. Berman is obligated to furnish only one-half of the aggregate $5 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement has a five-year term ending on January 3, 2027, at which time all amounts owing under the Loan Agreement will become due and payable; subject, however, to each Lender's right, including Mr. Berman, to terminate the Loan Agreement, solely with respect to such Lender's obligation to provide further credit, at any time after January 3, 2023. In the event that a Lender, including Mr. Berman, terminates its lending obligations, the Loan Agreement requires that we repay such Lender, prior to the five-year maturity date, with the proceeds derived from specified investments. The Loan Agreement provides for us to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent of the amount of credit available but unused under the Loan Agreement, and requires us to pay such fee in the form of shares of our common stock based on our net asset value per share on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter. The Loan Agreement grants the Lenders piggyback registration rights subject to customary terms, conditions and exceptions.
