Total Return, Inc. (<I>&ldquo;we,&rdquo; &ldquo;us,&rdquo; &ldquo;our,&rdquo; &ldquo;Equus&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Fund</I>&rdquo;),
a Delaware corporation, was formed by Equus Investments II, L.P. (the &ldquo;Partnership&rdquo;) on August 16, 1991. On July 1,
1992, the Partnership was reorganized and all of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership were transferred to the Fund in
exchange for shares of common stock of the Fund. Our shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol EQS. On August
11, 2006, our shareholders approved the change of the Fund&rsquo;s investment strategy to a total return investment objective.
This strategy seeks to provide the highest total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. In connection with
this strategic investment change, the shareholders also approved the change of name from Equus II Incorporated to Equus Total Return,
Inc.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">So long as we remain an investment company
and not an operating company as contemplated in our <I>Plan of Reorganization</I> described in Note 6 below, we will attempt to
maximize the return to stockholders in the form of current investment income and long-term capital gains by investing in the debt
and equity securities of companies with a total enterprise value of between $5.0 million and $75.0 million, although we may engage
in transactions with smaller or larger investee companies from time to time. We seek to invest primarily in companies pursuing
growth either through acquisition or organically, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts and recapitalizations of existing businesses
or special situations. Our income-producing investments consist principally of debt securities including subordinate debt, debt
convertible into common or preferred stock, or debt combined with warrants and common and preferred stock. Debt and preferred equity
financing may also be used to create long-term capital appreciation through the exercise and sale of warrants received in connection
with the financing. We seek to achieve capital appreciation by making investments in equity and equity-oriented securities issued
by privately-owned companies (or smaller public companies) in transactions negotiated directly with such companies. Given market
conditions over the past several years and the performance of our portfolio, our Management and Board of Directors believe it prudent
to continue to review alternatives to refine and further clarify the current strategies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We elected to be treated as a BDC under
the 1940 Act. We currently qualify as a regulated investment company (&ldquo;RIC&rdquo;) for federal income tax purposes and, therefore,
are not required to pay corporate income taxes on any income or gains that we distribute to our stockholders. We have certain wholly
owned taxable subsidiaries (&ldquo;Taxable Subsidiaries&rdquo;) each of which holds one or more portfolio investments listed on
our Schedules of Investments. The purpose of these Taxable Subsidiaries is to permit us to hold certain income-producing investments
or portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies, or LLCs, (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy
the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of our gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of investment income. Absent
the Taxable Subsidiaries, a portion of the gross income of these income-producing investments or of any LLC (or other pass-through
entity) portfolio investment, as the case may be, would flow through directly to us for the 90% test. To the extent that such income
did not consist of investment income, it could jeopardize our ability to qualify as a RIC and, therefore, cause us to incur significant
federal income taxes. The income of the LLCs (or other pass-through entities) owned by Taxable Subsidiaries is taxed to the Taxable
Subsidiaries and does not flow through to us, thereby helping us preserve our RIC status and resultant tax advantages. We do not
consolidate the Taxable Subsidiaries for income tax purposes and they may generate income tax expense because of the Taxable Subsidiaries&rsquo;
ownership of the portfolio companies. We reflect any such income tax expense on our Statements of Operations.</P>

on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they are unaudited and exclude some disclosures
required for annual financial statements. We believe that we have made all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals,

the impact of current market conditions on our portfolio company valuations and their ability to provide current income. We have
followed valuation techniques in a consistent manner; however, we are cognizant of current market conditions that might affect
future valuations of portfolio securities. We believe that our operating cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet
operating requirements and, to the extent we remain a BDC, to finance routine follow-on investments, if any, through the next twelve

of June 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.1 million. We had $28.9 million of our net assets of $42.1 million invested
in portfolio securities. We also had $35.3 million of restricted cash and temporary cash investments, including primarily the proceeds
of a quarter-end margin loan that we incurred to maintain the diversification requirements applicable to a RIC to maintain our
pass-through tax treatment. Of this amount, $35.0 million was invested in U.S. Treasury bills and $0.3 million represented a required
1% brokerage margin deposit. These securities were held by a securities brokerage firm and pledged along with other assets to secure
repayment of the margin loan. The U.S. Treasury bills were sold on July 3, 2017 and we subsequently repaid this margin loan, plus

If we are unable to borrow funds to make qualifying investments, we may no longer qualify as a RIC. We would then be subject to

debt financing for small and medium-sized companies such as Equus and its portfolio companies. Such debt financing generally has
shorter maturities, higher interest rates and fees, and more restrictive terms than debt facilities available in the past. In addition,
during these years and continuing into the first six months of 2017, the price of our common stock remained well below our net
asset value, thereby making it undesirable to issue additional shares of our common stock below net asset value. Because of these
challenges, our near-term strategies shifted from originating debt and equity investments to preserving liquidity necessary to

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Investments are valued utilizing a yield
analysis, enterprise value (&ldquo;EV&rdquo;) analysis, net asset value analysis, liquidation analysis, discounted cash flow analysis,
or a combination of methods, as appropriate. The yield analysis uses loan spreads and other relevant information implied by market
data involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Under the EV analysis, the EV of a portfolio company is first determined
and allocated over the portfolio company&rsquo;s securities in order of their preference relative to one another (i.e., &ldquo;waterfall&rdquo;
allocation). To determine the EV, we typically use a market multiples approach that considers relevant and applicable market trading
data of guideline public companies, transaction metrics from precedent M&amp;A transactions and/or a discounted cash flow analysis.
The net asset value analysis is used to derive a value of an underlying investment (such as real estate property) by dividing a
relevant earnings stream by an appropriate capitalization rate. For this purpose, we consider capitalization rates for similar
properties as may be obtained from guideline public companies and/or relevant transactions. The liquidation analysis is intended
to approximate the net recovery value of an investment based on, among other things, assumptions regarding liquidation proceeds
based on a hypothetical liquidation of a portfolio company&rsquo;s assets. The discounted cash flow analysis uses valuation techniques
to convert future cash flows or earnings to a range of fair values from which a single estimate may be derived utilizing an appropriate
discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">In applying these methodologies, additional
factors that we consider in fair value pricing our investments may include, as we deem relevant: security covenants, call protection

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Our general intent is to hold our loans
to maturity when appraising our privately held debt investments. As such, we believe that the fair value will not exceed the cost
of the investment. However, in addition to the previously described analysis involving allocation of value to the debt instrument,
we perform a yield analysis assuming a hypothetical current sale of the security to determine if a debt security has been impaired.&nbsp;The
yield analysis considers changes in interest rates and changes in leverage levels of the portfolio company as compared to the market
interest rates and leverage levels. Assuming the credit quality of the portfolio company remains stable, the Fund will use the
value determined by the yield analysis as the fair value for that security if less than the cost of the investment.</P>

value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels
of the fair value hierarchy are described below:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10.5pt/normal Trebuchet MS, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Level 1&mdash;Unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Level 2&mdash;Inputs other than quoted
prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and fair value is determined
through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10.5pt/normal Trebuchet MS, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Level 3&mdash;Inputs are unobservable
for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The
inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information under the circumstances and may require significant
management judgment or estimation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">In certain cases, the inputs used to
measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment&rsquo;s level within
the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors
specific to the investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Investments for which prices are not
observable are generally private investments in the debt and equity securities of operating companies. The primary valuation method
used to estimate the fair value of these Level 3 investments is the discounted cash flow method (although a liquidation analysis,
option theoretical, or other methodology may be used when more appropriate). The discounted cash flow approach to determine fair
value (or a range of fair values) involves applying an appropriate discount rate(s) to the estimated future cash flows using various
relevant factors depending on investment type, including comparing the latest arm&rsquo;s length or market transactions involving
the subject security to the selected benchmark credit spread, assumed growth rate (in cash flows), and capitalization rates/multiples
(for determining terminal values of underlying portfolio companies). The valuation based on the inputs determined to be the most
reasonable and probable is used as the fair value of the investment. The determination of fair value using these methodologies
may take into consideration a range of factors including, but not limited to, the price at which the investment was acquired, the
nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected
operating performance, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and anticipated financing transactions
after the valuation date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">To assess the reasonableness of the
discounted cash flow approach, the fair value of equity securities, including warrants, in portfolio companies may also consider
the market approach&mdash;that is, through analyzing and applying to the underlying portfolio companies, market valuation multiples
of publicly-traded firms engaged in businesses similar to those of the portfolio companies. The market approach to determining
the fair value of a portfolio company&rsquo;s equity security (or securities) will typically involve: (1) applying to the portfolio
company&rsquo;s trailing twelve months (or current year projected) EBITDA a low to high range of enterprise value to EBITDA multiples
that are derived from an analysis of publicly-traded comparable companies, in order to arrive at a range of enterprise values for
the portfolio company; (2) subtracting from the range of calculated enterprise values the outstanding balances of any debt or equity
securities that would be senior in right of payment to the equity securities we hold; and (3) multiplying the range of equity values
derived therefrom by our ownership share of such equity tranche in order to arrive at a range of fair values for our equity security
(or securities). Application of these valuation methodologies involves a significant degree of judgment by Management.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining
the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially
from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other
restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment
in a forced or liquidation sale, we might realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been
recorded. With respect to Level 3 investments, where sufficient market quotations are not readily available or for which no or
an insufficient number of indicative prices from pricing services or brokers or dealers have been received, we undertake, on a
quarterly basis, our valuation process as described above.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We assess the levels of the investments
at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the subsequent measurement date closest in time to the
actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 for
the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.</P>

2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC 605,&nbsp;<I>Revenue Recognition</I>, and most industry-specific
guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following
five steps: (1)&nbsp;identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2)&nbsp;identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3)&nbsp;determine
the transaction price; (4)&nbsp;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5)&nbsp;recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of
revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires
improved disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In March 2016, the FASB issued
ASU 2016-08,&nbsp;<I>Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On June 13, 2016, our shareholders approved
the adoption of our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (&ldquo;Incentive Plan&rdquo;). On January 10, 2017, the SEC issued an order approving
the Incentive Plan and certain awards intended to be made thereunder. The Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of
the Fund by encouraging officers, employees, and directors of the Fund and its affiliates to acquire or increase their equity interest
in the Fund and to provide a means whereby they may develop a proprietary interest in the development and financial success of
the Fund, to encourage them to remain with and devote their best efforts to the business of the Fund, thereby advancing the interests
of the Fund and its stockholders. The Incentive Plan is also intended to enhance the ability of the Fund and its affiliates to
attract and retain the services of individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the Fund. The Incentive Plan
permits the award of restricted stock as well as common stock purchase options. The maximum number of shares of common stock that
are subject to awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 2,434,728 shares. The term of the Incentive Plan will expire on June
13, 2026. On March 17, 2017, we granted awards of restricted stock under the Plan to certain of our directors and executive officers
in the aggregate amount of 844,500 shares. The awards are each subject to a vesting requirement over a 3-year period unless the
recipient thereof is terminated or removed from their position as a director or executive officer without &ldquo;cause&rdquo;,
or as a result of constructive termination, as such terms are defined in the respective award agreements entered into by each of
the recipients and the Fund. We account for share-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation&mdash;Stock
Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, we measure the grant date fair value based upon the market price of our
common stock on the date of the grant and amortize the fair value of the awards as share-based compensation expense over the requisite
service period, which is generally the vesting term. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded compensation expense of
$1.0 million in connection with these awards.</P>

Field wells, is working with Chevron in a recompletion program of existing Conger Field wells to the Wolfcamp formation, a zone
containing oil as well as gas and natural gas liquids. Part of Equus Energy&rsquo;s acreage rights described above also includes
a 50% working interest in possible new drilling to the base of the Canyon formation (approximately 8,500 feet) on 2,400 acres in

business in Texas. The margin tax is based on our Texas sourced taxable margin. The tax is calculated by applying a tax rate to
a base that considers both revenue and expenses and therefore has the characteristics of an income tax. Taxable Subsidiaries may
generate income tax expense because of the Taxable Subsidiaries&rsquo; ownership of the portfolio companies. We reflect any such
income tax expense on our Statements of Operations.&nbsp; As of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company had no federal income
tax expense.&nbsp;</P>

fair value of asset retirement obligations are recorded in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair
value can be made, and the corresponding cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.&nbsp;
The fair value of the asset retirement obligation is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company&rsquo;s
credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.&nbsp; Fair value, to the extent possible, should include a market risk premium for unforeseeable
circumstances.&nbsp; No market risk premium was included in the Company&rsquo;s asset retirement obligation fair value estimate
since a reasonable estimate could not be made. &nbsp;The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized
cost is depleted or amortized over the estimated recoverable reserves using the units-of-production method.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We attempt to maximize the return to
stockholders in the form of current investment income and long-term capital gains by investing in the debt and equity securities
of companies with a total enterprise value of between $5.0 million and $75.0 million, although we may engage in transactions with
smaller or larger investee companies from time to time. We seek to invest primarily in companies pursuing growth either through
acquisition or organically, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts and recapitalizations of existing businesses or special situations.
Our income-producing investments consist principally of debt securities including subordinate debt, debt convertible into common
or preferred stock, or debt combined with warrants and common and preferred stock. Debt and preferred equity financing may also
be used to create long-term capital appreciation through the exercise and sale of warrants received in connection with the financing.
We seek to achieve capital appreciation by making investments in equity and equity-oriented securities issued by privately-owned
companies (and smaller public companies) in transactions negotiated directly with such companies. Given market conditions over
the past several years and the performance of our portfolio, our management and Board of Directors believe it is prudent to continue
to review alternatives to refine and further clarify the current strategies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We elected to be treated
as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We currently qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, are not required to
pay corporate income taxes on any income or gains that we distribute to our stockholders. We have certain wholly owned Taxable
Subsidiaries each of which holds one or more portfolio investments listed on our Schedules of Investments. The purpose of these
Taxable Subsidiaries is to permit us to hold certain income-producing investments or portfolio companies organized as limited liability
companies, or LLCs, (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of our
gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiaries, a portion of the gross
income of these income-producing investments or of any LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment, as the case may
be, would flow through directly to us for the 90% test. To the extent that such income did not consist of investment income, it
could jeopardize our ability to qualify as a RIC and, therefore, cause us to incur significant federal income taxes. The income
of the LLCs (or other pass-through entities) owned by Taxable Subsidiaries is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiaries and does not flow
through to us, thereby helping us preserve our RIC status and resultant tax advantages. We do not consolidate the Taxable Subsidiaries
for income tax purposes and they may generate income tax expense because of the Taxable Subsidiaries&rsquo; ownership of the portfolio
investments. We reflect any such income tax expense on our Statements of Operations.</P>

order approving the Incentive Plan and certain awards intended to be made thereunder. The Incentive Plan is intended to promote
the interests of the Fund by encouraging officers, employees, and directors of the Fund and its affiliates to acquire or increase
their equity interest in the Fund and to provide a means whereby they may develop a proprietary interest in the development and
financial success of the Fund, to encourage them to remain with and devote their best efforts to the business of the Fund, thereby
advancing the interests of the Fund and its stockholders. The Incentive Plan is also intended to enhance the ability of the Fund
and its affiliates to attract and retain the services of individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the
Fund. The Incentive Plan permits the award of restricted stock as well as common stock purchase options. The maximum number of
shares of common stock that are subject to awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 2,434,728 shares. The term of the Incentive
Plan will expire on June 13, 2026. On March 17, 2017, we granted awards of restricted stock under the Plan to certain of our directors
and executive officers in the aggregate amount of 844,500 shares. The awards are each subject to a vesting requirement over a 3-year
period unless the recipient thereof is terminated or removed from their position as a director or executive officer without &ldquo;cause&rdquo;,
or as a result of constructive termination, as such terms are defined in the respective award agreements entered into by each of
the recipients and the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded compensation expense of $1.1 million in connection
with these awards.</P>

2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC 605,&nbsp;<I>Revenue Recognition</I>, and most industry-specific
guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following
five steps: (1)&nbsp;identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2)&nbsp;identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3)&nbsp;determine
the transaction price; (4)&nbsp;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5)&nbsp;recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of
revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires
improved disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In March 2016, the FASB issued
ASU 2016-08,&nbsp;<I>Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue
Gross versus Net),</I>&nbsp;which clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016,
the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,&nbsp;<I>Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and
Licensing,</I>&nbsp;which clarified the implementation guidance regarding performance obligations and licensing arrangements. In
May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2016-12,&nbsp;<I>Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)&mdash;Narrow-Scope Improvements
and Practical Expedients</I>, which clarified guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales tax, measuring noncash consideration,
and certain transition matters. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2016-20,&nbsp;<I>Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606)&mdash;Technical Corrections and Improvements</I>, which provided disclosure relief, and clarified the scope and application
of the new revenue standard and related cost guidance. The new guidance will be effective for the annual reporting period beginning
after December&nbsp;15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption would be permitted for annual
reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2016.&nbsp;We expect to identify similar performance obligations under ASC
606 as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified. As a result, we expect timing of its revenue
recognition to remain the same.&nbsp;</I></B></P>

rate of 2.8% during the second quarter of 2017, following an annualized increase of 1.4% during the first quarter of 2017. The
increase in growth during the second quarter was attributed to increases in consumer and government spending, and a labor market
at near full employment. Notwithstanding the second quarter increase, the IMF lowered its growth forecast for the remainder of
2017 from 2.3% to 2.1%, and lowered its growth forecast for 2018 from 2.5% to 2.1%, citing concerns about U.S. executive and congressional
fiscal policies. Housing starts slowed during April and May of 2017, only to increase sharply in June. Sales of existing homes,
however, declined in spite of low inventories of both new and existing homes. Business investment appears on track to increase
between 3%-4% for 2017, principally due to rising oil and gas drilling activity due to modest price recoveries in WTI and Brent
crude benchmarks. (Sources: <I>Bloomberg, Kiplinger, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Conference Board Leading Economic Index, International

during the first six months of 2017 as compared to 2016, but the aggregate volume of transactions increased, a sign of larger,
albeit fewer, transactions. Market conditions for business transactions during 2017 have continued to steadily improve during the
first half of 2017, continuing a multi-year trend, as corporations have been deleveraging and are holding significant amounts of
cash and many have focused on acquisitions as part of future growth plans. Private equity funds increased their assets under management
during 2016 to a projected $862 billion, a 14% increase from 2015 and a level not seen since 2008, as private equity firms as a
group enjoyed more success during the year in attracting investment capital. Data for the first six months of 2017 is unavailable,
but the increasing amount of cash on hand by private equity firms, large corporations, and other institutions has resulted in higher
asset prices and, consequently, lower returns. (Sources: <I>FactSet Research Systems, Financial News,</I> and <I>Beneshlaw Private

opportunities, and sold certain of our legacy and underperforming investment holdings. We believe these actions continue to be
necessary to protect capital and liquidity in order to preserve and enhance shareholder value. Because our Management is internalized,

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We are subject to financial market risks,
including changes in interest rates with respect to investments in debt securities and outstanding debt payable, as well as changes
in marketable equity security prices. In the future, we may invest in companies outside the United States, including in Europe
and Asia, which would give rise to exposure to foreign currency value fluctuations. We do not use derivative financial instruments
to mitigate any of these risks. The return on investments is generally not affected by foreign currency fluctuations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Our investments in portfolio securities
consist of some fixed-rate debt securities. Since the debt securities are generally priced at a fixed rate, changes in interest
rates do not directly affect interest income. In addition, changes in market interest rates are not typically a significant factor
in the determination of fair value of these debt securities, since the securities are generally held to maturity. We determine
their fair values based on the terms of the relevant debt security and the financial condition of the issuer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">A major portion of our investment portfolio
consists of debt and equity investments in private companies. Modest changes in public market equity prices generally do not significantly
impact the estimated fair value of these investments. However, significant changes in market equity prices can have a longer-term
effect on valuations of private companies, which could affect the carrying value and the amount and timing of gains or losses realized
on these investments. A small portion of the investment portfolio could also consist of common stock in publicly traded companies.
These investments are directly exposed to equity price risk, in that a hypothetical ten percent change in these equity prices would
result in a similar percentage change in the fair value of these securities.</P>

level. There has been no change in the Fund&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30,

Complaint</B>&mdash;On November 16, 2016, Samuel Zalmanoff filed a lawsuit against the Fund and members of the Board
of Directors in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. The lawsuit was filed in connection with the Fund&rsquo;s
2016 Equity Incentive Plan (&ldquo;Incentive Plan&rdquo;) which was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 15, 2016,
approved by the Equus shareholders on June 13, 2016, and approved, with certain standard exceptions, by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 10, 2017. Mr. Zalmanoff&rsquo;s complaint, which purports to be on behalf of all non-affiliate
Equus shareholders entitled to vote for the Incentive Plan, alleges a breach by the Board of Directors of its fiduciary
duties of disclosure in connection with the Incentive Plan, and seeks an order from the court: (i) enjoining implementation
of the Incentive Plan, (ii) requiring the Fund to revise its disclosures relating to the Incentive Plan, and (iii) for an
award of costs, attorneys&rsquo; fees, and expenses. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously
dispute the claims made therein. On January 9, 2017, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint, which was granted in part
and denied in part, on August 2, 2017. We believe that this lawsuit, and the claims included therein, is without merit and
intend to continue a vigorous defense of the same. No schedule has yet been agreed regarding the timing of any future motions
or hearings. As such, we have concluded that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is neither probable or remote.</P>
