of Business</B>&mdash;Equus Total Return, Inc. (&ldquo;we,&rdquo; &ldquo;us,&rdquo; &ldquo;our,&rdquo; &ldquo;Equus&rdquo; and
the &ldquo;Fund&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
&lsquo;EQS&rsquo;. 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 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">So long as we
remain an investment company and not an operating company as contemplated in our Plan of Reorganization described in Note 6 below,
we will attempt to maximize the return to our 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 may include 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 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; 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 a wholly-owned taxable subsidiary (&ldquo;Taxable Subsidiary&rdquo;) which holds one of our portfolio
investments listed on our Schedules of Investments. The purpose of this Taxable Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary, 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 Subsidiary
is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiary and does not flow through to us, thereby helping us preserve our RIC status and resultant tax
advantages. We do not consolidate the Taxable Subsidiary for income tax purposes and <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: 0.05pt">the Taxable
Subsidiary may </FONT>generate income tax expense because of the Taxable Subsidiary&rsquo;s ownership of <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: 0.05pt">a</FONT>
portfolio company. We reflect any such income tax expense on our Statements of Operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><B>The Impact
of COVID-19</B>&mdash;In 2019, SARS-CoV-2, a highly contagious pathogen which causes COVID-19, coronavirus disease, or simply,
the &lsquo;coronavirus&rsquo;, arose in Wuhan Province, China. On January 21, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control reported the
first known coronavirus infection in the U.S., and by February 29, 2020, the first U.S. death was reported. By March 11, 2020,
the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a worldwide pandemic, and the President of the United States declared a
national emergency two days thereafter. By the second quarter of 2020, all U.S. States had imposed various restrictions on travel,
movement, and public assembly, and substantial portions of the U.S. economy, including those in which certain of our portfolio
companies operate, were materially and negatively affected as a result.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Beginning in
the third quarter of 2020, a number of U.S. states began to relax certain restrictions on commercial and social activity, including
permitting some primary, secondary, and university students to return to in-person classes.&nbsp; Largely as a consequence of
this type of increased social interaction, the U.S. has thus experienced a resurgence in COVID-19 infections and concomitant deaths
that has continued through to the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp; This, in turn, has resulted in the return of enhanced proscriptions
on social gatherings, many of which are expected to remain in place until the end of 2020 and possibly beyond.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">The highly
contagious nature of the coronavirus has caused numerous private and public organizations to substantially alter the way in which
they operate. Many such organizations have, to the extent possible, required employees to work remotely to reduce opportunities
for contagion. We have also taken steps to minimize the exposure of our employees and service providers by requiring all such persons
to work from a remote location. We utilize a cloud-based storage and retrieval system for our records and can communicate electronically
or by telephone with third parties such as our financial institutions, legal and accounting advisors, and our portfolio companies.
Our day-to-day operations and management of our existing portfolio investments have not, therefore, been materially affected by
the coronavirus pandemic. However, government directives on social distancing and shelter-in-place mandates have rendered us unable
to travel to attend board meetings, negotiations, and other functions which are endemic to the interpersonal nature of private
equity investing. As a consequence, our ability to source new investment prospects, facilitate dispositions of existing portfolio
holdings, or consummate a substantial transaction has been constrained by these limitations. Should these disruptions and restrictions
on travel continue as a result of the coronavirus, we cannot, therefore, assure you that our operations as a BDC or our efforts
to effect a transformative transaction involving Equus will not be materially adversely affected thereby.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Although our
company and our portfolio companies are generally affected by macroeconomic factors such as an overall downturn in the U.S. economy
and fluctuations in energy prices, we are presently unable to predict either the potential near-term or longer-term impact that
the coronavirus may have on our financial and operating results, or the financial and operating results of our portfolio companies
due to numerous uncertainties regarding the duration and severity of the crisis. Moreover, we are unable to predict the effect
that the economic dislocation caused by the coronavirus will have on our efforts to complete a transformative transaction pursuant
to our Plan of Reorganization described below. The ultimate impact of the coronavirus pandemic is highly uncertain and subject
to change, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been and will likely continue to be impacted by
future developments concerning the pandemic and the resulting economic disruption.</P>

We would then be subject to corporate income tax on the Fund&rsquo;s net investment income and realized capital gains, and distributions
to stockholders would be subject to income tax as ordinary dividends. If we remain a BDC and do not become an operating company

Ratio</B>&mdash;Under the 1940 Act, BDCs are required to have an asset coverage ratio of 200%, meaning that the maximum debt that
may be incurred by a BDC is the BDC&rsquo;s net asset value. Pursuant to amendments made to the 1940 Act in March 2018, BDCs may
now, with stockholder or board of directors approval, reduce this ratio to 150%, meaning that the maximum debt that may be incurred
by a BDC is two times the BDC&rsquo;s net asset value. In November 2019, we obtained approval of our shareholders to reduce our
asset coverage ratio to 150%. This authorization will permit Equus to borrow up to twice the value of the Fund&rsquo;s net assets.
Other than the margin loan obtained by the Fund to acquire U.S. Treasury bills to maintain our RIC status as described above, we
have not yet undertaken any other additional borrowings.</P>

Risks and Uncertainties</B>&mdash;Market and economic volatility which has become endemic in the past few years, together with
the economic dislocation caused by the onset of the coronavirus, has constrained the availability of 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 2020, 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.</P>

originating debt and equity investments to preserving liquidity necessary to meet our operational needs. Key initiatives that we
have previously undertaken to provide necessary liquidity include monetizations, the suspension of dividends and the internalization
of management. We are also evaluating potential opportunities that could enable us to effect a change to our business and become
an operating company as described in Note 6 &ndash; <I>Plan of Reorganization</I>. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet
our operating requirements for 12 months from the date of this filing.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; 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

these methodologies, additional factors that we consider in fair value pricing our investments may include, as we deem relevant:
security covenants, call protection provisions, and information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the
portfolio company&rsquo;s ability to make payments; the principal markets in which the portfolio company does business; publicly
available financial ratios of peer companies; the principal market; and enterprise values, among other factors. Also, any failure
by a portfolio company to achieve its business plan or obtain and maintain its financing arrangements could result in increased
volatility and result in a significant and rapid change in its value.</P>

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. 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>

Measurement</B>&mdash;Fair 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><B>Level 3</B>&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 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; 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 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 7.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Investments
for which prices are not observable are generally private investments in the debt and equity securities of operating companies.
A 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. In the case of our investment in Equus Energy,
we also examine acreage values in comparable transactions and assess the impact upon the working interests held by Equus Energy.
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 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 7.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; 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 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 7.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; 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>

and Dividend Income Recognition</B>&mdash;We record interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount,
on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We accrete or amortize discounts and premiums on securities
purchased over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents
the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and/or amortization of premium on debt securities. We stop accruing interest
on investments when we determine that interest is no longer collectible. We may also impair the accrued interest when we determine
that all or a portion of the current accrual is uncollectible. If we receive any cash after determining that interest is no longer
collectible, we treat such cash as payment on the principal balance until the entire principal balance has been repaid, before
we recognize any additional interest income. We will write off uncollectible interest upon the occurrence of a definitive event
such as a sale, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the relevant portfolio interest. <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.05pt">Dividend

the investment or financial instrument, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes
investments written-off during the period net of recoveries and realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions. Net change in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in the fair value of the portfolio company investments and financial

distributed to stockholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. We borrow
money from time to time to maintain our tax status under the Internal Revenue Code as a RIC. See Note 1 for discussion of Taxable
Subsidiaries and see Note 2 for further discussion of the Fund&rsquo;s RIC borrowings.</P>

Rules&rdquo;). The Final Rules adopted a new definition of &ldquo;significant subsidiary&rdquo; set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X require investment companies to include separate
financial statements or summary financial information, respectively, in such investment company&rsquo;s periodic reports for any
portfolio company that meets the definition of &ldquo;significant subsidiary.&rdquo; The Final Rules amend the definition of &ldquo;significant
subsidiary&rdquo; in a manner that is intended to more accurately capture those portfolio companies that are more likely to materially
impact the financial condition of an investment company. The Final Rules will be effective on January 1, 2021, but voluntary compliance
is permitted in advance of the effective date.&nbsp; We have elected to comply with the Final Rules effective for the annual reporting
period December 31, 2020. We are evaluating the impact on the requirement to provide separate audited financial statements and
summarized financial information for its controlled portfolio companies going forward.</P>

Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10618, Fast Act Modernization and Simplification
of Regulation S-K, amending certain disclosure requirements. The amendments are intended to simplify certain disclosure requirements
and to provide for a consistent set of rules to govern incorporating information by reference and hyperlinking, improve readability
and navigability of disclosure documents, and discourage repetition and disclosure of immaterial information. We adopted the final
rule under SEC Release No. 33-10618 as of December 31, 2019. We have evaluated the impact of the amendments and determined the
effect of the adoption of the simplification rules on financial statements will be limited to the modification and removal of certain
disclosures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><B>Plan of Reorganization&mdash;</B>On
May 14, 2014, we announced that the Fund intended to effect a reorganization pursuant to Section 2(a)(33) of the 1940 Act (hereinafter,
the &ldquo;Plan of Reorganization&rdquo;). We intend to finalize the Plan of Reorganization by pursuing a merger or consolidation
with an operating company, which operating company may be a subsidiary or portfolio company of MVC. Our current intention is for
Equus to (i) terminate its election to be classified as a BDC under the 1940 Act, and (ii) be restructured as a publicly-traded
operating company focused on the energy, natural resources, technology, and/or financial services sector. While we are presently
evaluating opportunities in various industry sectors, including technology, real estate, natural resources, and financial services,
that could enable us to complete our Plan of Reorganization, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so within any particular
time period or at all, particularly given the economic dislocation caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions on travel
and association that have been imposed throughout most of the world that inhibit our ability to consider and personally examine
potential transaction opportunities. Moreover, we cannot assure you that the terms of any such transaction that would embody <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.1pt">the
transformation of Equus into an operating company </FONT>would be acceptable to us.</P>

to Withdraw BDC Election</B>&mdash;On November 14, 2019, holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Fund approved
our cessation as a BDC under the 1940 Act and authorized our Board to cause the Fund&rsquo;s withdrawal of its election to be classified
as a BDC, effective as of a date designated by the Board and our Chief Executive Officer. Although this authorization, which was
given as a consequence of our Plan of Reorganization, expired on <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: 0.05pt">March 31</FONT>, 2020, we
expect to receive an additional authorization from our stockholders in the future. Notwithstanding any such authorization to withdraw
our BDC election, we will not submit any such withdrawal unless and until Equus has entered into a definitive agreement to effect
a &ldquo;Consolidation&rdquo;, as such term is defined in our Plan of Reorganization. Further, even if we are again authorized
to withdraw our election as a BDC, we will require a subsequent affirmative vote from holders of a majority of our outstanding
voting shares to enter into any such definitive agreement or change the nature of our business.</P>

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. </P>

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 Incentive 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. As of September
30, 2019, 280,000 shares of restricted stock which were granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan, remained unvested. We account for
share-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718. 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. We recorded
compensation expense of $0.08 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in
connection with these awards.</P>

was formed in November 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund to make investments in companies in the energy sector, with
particular emphasis on income-producing oil &amp; gas properties. In December 2011, we contributed $250,000 to the capital of Equus
Energy. On December 27, 2012, we invested an additional $6.8 million in Equus Energy for the purpose of additional working capital
and to fund the purchase of $6.6 million in working interests, which presently comprise 141 producing and non-producing oil and
gas wells. The working interests include associated development rights of approximately 21,520 acres situated on 11 separate properties
in Texas and Oklahoma. The working interests range from a <I>de minimus</I> amount to 50% of the leasehold that includes these
wells.</P>

wells are operated by a number of experienced operators, including Chevron USA, Inc., which has operating responsibility for all
of Equus Energy&rsquo;s 40 well interests located in the Conger Field, an oil and gas field on the edge of the Permian Basin that
has experienced gas and hydrocarbon extraction in multiple formations. Equus Energy, which holds a 50% working interest in each
of these Conger Field wells, was working with Chevron in a recompletion program, now presently on hold, 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 on 2,400
acres in the Conger Field. Also included in the interests acquired by Equus Energy are working interests of 7.5% and 2.5% in the
Burnell and North Pettus Units, respectively, which collectively comprise approximately 13,000 acres located in the area known
as the &ldquo;Eagle Ford Shale&rdquo; play.</FONT></P>

of COVID-19 and Other Events</B>&mdash;The first quarter of 2020 witnessed unprecedented systemic events that had a material effect
on oil prices globally and continued throughout the year. As described above, the economic impact of the coronavirus during the
first nine months of 2020 has been substantial and is continuing. By the end of the second quarter of 2020, all U.S. States had
imposed various restrictions on travel, movement, and public assembly, and substantial portions of the U.S. economy, particularly
the energy industry, were materially and negatively affected as a result. As of September 30, 2020, many of these restrictions
remained in place and are not expected to be materially relaxed before the end of 2020. In addition, in March 2020, a dispute between
Saudi Arabia and Russia regarding cuts in crude oil production resulted in a 26% drop in the worldwide spot price, which had already
declined approximately 30% since December 31, 2019. Although the parties, including other OPEC members, ultimately agreed to production
cuts of approximately 10 million BBL/day in April 2020, slumping demand has resulted in even lower spot prices. Overall, WTI prices
declined from $61.06 at December 31, 2019 to $20.48 at March 31, 2020 before recovering to $40.65 at June 30, 2020 and stabilizing
at $40.22 at September 30, 2020. The volatility in the price of natural gas was comparatively far milder during the first nine
months of 2020, decreasing from $2.22 per MMBTU at December 31, 2019 to $1.79 per MMBTU at March 31, 2020, decreasing slightly
to $1.76 per MMBTU at June 30, 2020 and then increasing sharply during the third quarter of 2020 to $2.53 at September 30, 2020.
While significant changes in spot prices during the first nine months of 2020 have had a similar effect on the price at which the
well operators have sold hydrocarbons from the various properties in which Equus Energy holds an interest, the long-term pricing
curves for these commodities has also been negatively affected. Although crude oil spot prices increased substantially during the
second quarter of 2020 and stabilized thereafter, changes in the long-term pricing curve since the end of 2019 have resulted in
a decrease in the fair value of these properties and of Equus Energy during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the
second quarter of 2020, for example, WTI prices were highly volatile, ranging from a high of $40.65 to a low of $11.21.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">As a result,
Equus Energy could see future capital expenditures postponed indefinitely, which could have a material adverse effect upon the
operations and long-term financial condition of Equus Energy. The substantial decrease in WTI spot prices has had a similar effect
upon Equus Energy&rsquo;s revenue. This decrease, as well as the shut-in of presently uneconomic wells due to low prices and excess
demand has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on the present and near-term cash flows of Equus
Energy. To conserve existing cash resources or create additional cash resources during the next year, Equus Energy intends to either:
(i) attempt to secure equity or debt financing from one or more institutional sources, which sources may include the Fund, a commercial
lender, or other investors, (ii) request that its operators shut-in additional wells, (iii) sell certain of its oil and gas holdings,
or (iv) undertake a combination of the foregoing. However, we cannot assure you that Equus Energy will be able to implement these
plans successfully, or that such plans will generate sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern. The factors discussed
above, therefore, raise substantial doubt about Equus Energy&rsquo;s ability to continue as a going concern.</P>

costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development activities are capitalized. Capitalized costs include
lease acquisitions, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, costs of drilling, completing and equipping successful and

Recognition&mdash;</B>The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when control of the promised goods is transferred to
customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Accounting Standards Codification (&quot;ASC&quot;) 606, &quot;Revenue from Contracts
with Customers&quot; (&quot;ASC 606&quot;), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, &quot;Revenue Recognition&quot;
(&quot;ASC 605&quot;), on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company did not record a change
to its opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 as there was no material change to the timing or pattern of revenue recognition
due to the adoption of ASC 606.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 6pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">The Company&rsquo;s
revenue is generated primarily from the sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids (&ldquo;NGL&rdquo;) produced from working interests
and to a lesser extent from royalty interests in oil and gas properties owned by the Company. As a working interest owner, the
Company is responsible for the incurred production expenses proportionate to the interest stipulated in the operating agreement.
As a non-operator, the Company does not manage the daily well operations, which are borne by the well operator. Sales of oil, gas
and NGLs are recognized at the time control of the product is transferred to the customer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Various
arrangements amongst the eleven different oil and gas properties all differ in some respects, although they do share the commonality
that, as a non-operating working interest holder, the Company does not engage in the selling process, but instead relies on the
operator, as their selling agent, for negotiating and determining pricing, volume, and delivery terms. Such pricing terms are often
a function of a specified discount from the daily/monthly NYMEX or Henry Hub average. The discount is usually based on differentials
such as distance of the field/wells from the distribution node or the buyer&rsquo;s storage facility, as well as the quality of
the product itself (i.e., in the case of oil, its gravity).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 5.75pt 12pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Revenue
is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of
third parties. The Company recognizes revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange
for transferring control of those goods to the customer. The contract consideration is typically allocated to specific performance
obligations in the contract according to the terms of the contract. Each unit of oil or gas is considered a separate performance
obligation under the contract. Wells are spot measured once a month to determine production and the composition of each of the
products (i.e. oil, gas, NGLs) from the well. Each month the consideration obtained by the operator is allocated to the related
performance obligations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><I>Performance
Obligations</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">A performance
obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in ASC
606. A contract&rsquo;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when,
or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance
with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services
rendered.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Depending
on the contract and commodity, there are various means by which upstream entities can transfer control (i.e., at the wellhead,
inlet, tailgate of the processing plant, or a location where the product is delivered to a third party). The Company has control
of the commodity before it is extracted, therefore consideration must be given to whether the transfer of control of the commodity
is to the operator or to the end customer at the point of sale.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Unless
special arrangements are entered into, the Company&rsquo;s performance obligations are generally considered performed when control
of the extracted commodity transfers when it is delivered to the end customer at the agreed-upon market or index price. At the
end of each month, when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated. Variances
between the Company&rsquo;s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><I>Principal
vs. Agent</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 6pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">While
the guidance on principal versus agent considerations is similar to legacy GAAP, the key difference is that ASC 606 focuses on
control of the specified goods and services as the overarching principle for entities to consider when determining whether they
are acting as a principal or an agent. This could result in entities reaching different conclusions than they did under legacy
GAAP.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">An
entity acting as a principal records revenue on a gross basis if it controls a promised good or service before transferring that
good or service to the customer. An entity is an agent if it does not control the promised good or service before transfer to
the customer. If the entity is an agent, it records as revenue the net amount it retains for its agency services. However, due
to the uncertainty of the variable pricing component and the separation of expenses billed to the Company from the consideration
processed and paid by the operator, the revenue is recorded at net.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Under
the Company&rsquo;s normal operating activity arrangements, the operator is responsible for negotiating, fulfilling and collecting
the agreed-upon amount from the sale with the end customer and is, therefore, determined to be acting as agent on behalf of the
Company. The principal versus agent consideration will continue to be assessed for new contracts, both within and outside the company&rsquo;s
normal operating activities.</P>

Depletion and Amortization</B>&mdash;The Company employs the &ldquo;Units of Production&rdquo; method in calculating depletion

obligations, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserves.</P>

limited liability company is not subject to the payment of federal income taxes as components of its income and expenses flow through
directly to the members. However, the Company is subject to certain state income taxes. Texas margin tax applies to legal entities
conducting 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. The Company had no federal income tax expense for the three and nine month
periods ending September 30, 2020 and 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 24.5pt"><B>Asset Retirement Obligations</B>&mdash;The
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. 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. Fair value, to the extent possible, should include a market risk premium for unforeseeable
circumstances. 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. 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>

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>

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 a wholly-owned Taxable Subsidiary
which holds one of our portfolio investments listed on our Schedules of Investments. The purpose of this Taxable Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary, 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 Subsidiary is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiary and does not flow through to us, thereby helping us preserve
our RIC status and resultant tax advantages. We do not consolidate the Taxable Subsidiary for income tax purposes and they may
generate income tax expense because of the Taxable Subsidiary&rsquo;s ownership of the portfolio investment. We reflect any such
income tax expense on our Statements of Operations.</P>

by pursuing a merger or consolidation with an operating company, which operating company may be a subsidiary or portfolio company
of MVC. Our current intention is for Equus to (i) terminate its election to be classified as a BDC under the 1940 Act, and (ii)
be restructured as a publicly-traded operating company focused on the energy, natural resources, technology, and/or financial services
sector. While we are presently evaluating various opportunities that could enable us to complete our Plan of Reorganization, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to do so within any particular time period or at all, particularly given the economic dislocation
caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions on travel and association that have been imposed throughout most of the
world that inhibit our ability to consider and personally examine potential transaction opportunities. Moreover, we cannot assure

expect to receive an additional authorization from our stockholders in the future. Notwithstanding any such authorization to withdraw
our BDC election, we will not submit any such withdrawal unless and until Equus has entered into a definitive agreement to effect
a &ldquo;Consolidation&rdquo;, as such term is defined in our Plan of Reorganization. Further, even if we are again authorized
to withdraw our election as a BDC, we will require a subsequent affirmative vote from holders of a majority of our outstanding
voting shares to enter into any such definitive agreement or change the nature of our business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">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 <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: 0.65pt">were</FONT> each
subject to a vesting requirement over a 3-year period unless the recipient thereof <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: 0.9pt">wa</FONT>s
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.
As of March 31, 2020, all awards granted under the Incentive Plan have become vested. We recorded compensation expense of $0.08
million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0.08 million and $0.24 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 in connection with these awards.</P>

the Coronavirus Generally</I>. The introduction of the coronavirus has had a substantial detrimental impact on markets and economic
forecasts for governments and businesses worldwide, and could have a materially adverse impact upon our operations and that of
our portfolio companies, although the extent of the impact cannot be determined at the present time. Beginning in the first quarter
of 2020, all U.S. states and many foreign countries implemented significant travel, movement, and assembly restrictions, as well
as restrictions on the movement of goods. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, many of these restrictions
are still in place and it remains uncertain as to how long they will continue, particularly given recent resurgence in infections
that arose in various part of the country in September 2020. Substantial portions of the U.S. economy, including those in which
certain of our portfolio companies operate, have been materially and negatively affected as a result of these restrictions and
by the general reduction in commercial and consumer activity.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 30.25pt"><I>Impact of
the Coronavirus on Our Operations</I>. The highly contagious nature of the coronavirus has caused numerous private and public organizations
to substantially alter the way in which they operate. Many such organizations have, to the extent possible, required employees
to work remotely to reduce opportunities for contagion. In the case of Equus, we have also taken steps to minimize the exposure
of our employees and service providers by requiring all such persons to work from a remote location. We utilize a cloud-based storage
and retrieval system for our records and can communicate electronically or by telephone with third parties such as our financial
institutions, legal and accounting advisors, and our portfolio companies. Our day-to-day operations and management of our existing
portfolio investments have not, therefore, been materially affected by the coronavirus pandemic. However, government directives
on social distancing and shelter-in-place mandates have rendered us unable to travel to attend board meetings, negotiations, and
other functions which are endemic to the interpersonal nature of private equity investing. As a consequence, our ability to source
new investment prospects, facilitate dispositions of existing portfolio holdings, or consummate a substantial transaction has been
constrained by these limitations. Should these disruptions and restrictions on travel continue as a result of the coronavirus,
we cannot, therefore, assure you that our operations as a BDC or our efforts to effect a transformative transaction involving Equus
will not be materially adversely affected thereby.</P>

Geopolitical Events and the Coronavirus on the Oil and Gas Sector.</I> The substantial recent downturn in world markets has been
prominent in the oil and gas sector, with crude prices falling to 18-year lows in mid-March 2020. The collapse in prices was the
result of a price war between the Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia and a massive drop in forecasted demand as a consequence
of the coronavirus. Although the price of crude recovered somewhat to $40.65 as of June 30, 2020 and stabilized at $40.22 as of
September 30, 2020, should prices not increase to more sustainable levels, a number of  oil and gas firms that have incurred
leverage could experience severe economic challenges, including insolvency and bankruptcy. Other firms, such as Equus Energy, could
see future capital expenditures to generate additional reserves from existing mineral interests postponed indefinitely, which could
have a material adverse effect upon the operations and financial condition of Equus Energy. The substantial decrease in WTI spot
prices during the first and second quarters has had a similar effect upon the price at which the operators of the various wells
in which Equus Energy holds an interest are able to sell hydrocarbons. This decrease, as well as the shut-in of presently uneconomic
wells due to low prices and excess capacity has had, and is expected to continue to have,  a material adverse effect on the present
and near-term cash flows of Equus Energy. Should present conditions continue, Equus Energy may request that its operators shut-in
additional uneconomic wells to conserve cash, may attempt to secure equity or debt financing from one or more institutional sources
to provide additional liquidity, may sell certain of its oil and gas holdings to produce additional cash, or may pursue a combination
of the foregoing. However, we cannot assure you that Equus Energy will be able to implement these plans successfully, or that such
plans will generate sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern. The factors discussed above, therefore, raise substantial
doubt about Equus Energy&rsquo;s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period following the date of issuance
of this report on Form 10-Q.</P>

Economy</I>. Largely resulting from the economic disruption caused by the coronavirus, the U.S. economy was highly volatile, shrinking
during the second quarter of 2020 at an annualized rate of 31.4%, by far the highest GDP decline ever recorded, before rebounding
at an annualized rate of 33.1%, the largest percentage increase since 1947. Notwithstanding the third quarter increase, The Conference
Board Economic Forecast expects U.S. GDP to shrink overall in 2020 by 3.5% compared to 2019. The overall downturn in the U.S. economy,
which began in March 2020, ended six straight years of positive quarterly growth. The sectors that contributed most significantly
to the GDP increase during the third quarter of 2020 were consumer spending, inventory reductions, and business investment. Given
that most of the fiscal stimulus had been appropriated during the second quarter of 2020, the third quarter saw a reduction in
federal, state, and local government spending. (Sources: <I>U.S. Dept. of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, Conference Board

April 2020, and finished the first nine months of 2020 at 7.9%, which was significantly lower than many estimates of 10.0% or higher
for the end of the third quarter of 2020. In keeping with this trend, housing starts decreased 22.3% from February 2020 to March
2020, and another 30.2% from March 2020 to April 2020, each the largest month-on-month declines since 1984. Beginning in May 2020,
however, the U.S. housing market began marking substantial gains that largely continued through to the end of the third quarter
of 2020, driven by historically low mortgage rates. The third quarter of 2020 witnessed an increase of 59.3% in residential fixed
investment, while housing starts increased 1.9% during September 2020, although new home construction and sales remained below
comparable 2019 figures. (Sources: <I>U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Labor Statistics, CNBC</I>).</P>

of potential and pending transactions on an indefinite pause or caused parties to abandon certain business combinations altogether.
Although nine-month figures are not available, most analysts expect worldwide merger and acquisition activity to continue to lag
substantially behind comparable 2019 figures. Private equity volume, which often mirrors mergers and acquisition activity, also
witnessed substantial decreases during the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">The continuation
of the coronavirus pandemic is expected to slow the recovery of transaction activity, as the restrictions on movement and meetings
has resulted in a lesser number of transactions being effected and a number of pending transactions being delayed or abandoned.
As social distancing restrictions become relaxed in 2021, a number of economists expect to see significantly increased merger and
acquisition activity resulting from consolidations within industry sectors negatively affected by the economic dislocation caused
by coronavirus. This largely contrasts with the more opportunistic character of most merger and acquisition activity that occurred
in the five years preceding the coronavirus pandemic. (Sources: <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.4pt"><I>Forbes</I></FONT><I>; Barrons;

30, 2020, our net asset value decreased from $3.40 per share to $2.77 per share, a decrease of 18.5%. As of September 30, 2020,
our common stock is trading at a 56.3% discount to our net asset value as compared to 46.5% as of December 31, 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Over the past
several years, we have executed certain initiatives to enhance liquidity, achieve a lower operational cost structure, provide more
assistance to portfolio companies and realize certain of our portfolio investments. Specifically, we changed the composition of
our Board of Directors and Management, terminated certain of our follow-on investments, internalized the management of the Fund,
suspended our managed distribution policy, modified our investment strategy to pursue shorter term liquidation opportunities, pursued
non-cash investment 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, certain of our expenses should not increase commensurate with an increase in the size of the Fund and, therefore,
to the extent we remain a BDC, we expect to achieve efficiencies in our cost structure if we are able to grow the Fund.</P>

cash primarily from maturities, sales of securities and borrowings, as well as capital gains realized upon the sale of portfolio

nature and size of the portfolio investments, we may periodically borrow funds to make qualifying investments to maintain our tax
status as a RIC. We often borrow such funds by utilizing a margin account with a securities brokerage firm. There is no assurance

to make qualifying investments, <FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: 0.05pt">Equus </FONT>may no longer qualify as a RIC. The Fund would
then be subject to corporate income tax on its net investment income and realized capital gains, and distributions to stockholders

the ability to borrow funds and issue forms of senior securities representing indebtedness or stock, such as preferred stock, subject

and expenses. Such retained amounts, if any, will be taxable to the Fund as long-term capital gains and stockholders will be able
to claim their proportionate share of the federal income taxes paid on such gains as a credit against their own federal income
tax liabilities. Stockholders will also be entitled to increase the adjusted tax basis of their Fund shares by the difference between
their undistributed capital gains and their tax credit.</P>

the impact of current market conditions on our portfolio company valuations and their ability to provide current income. Further,
we are also engaging in the process of selling all or a portion of one or more of our portfolio investments before the end of 2020.
We believe we have followed valuation techniques in a reasonably consistent manner; however, we are cognizant of current market
conditions that might affect future valuations of portfolio securities. In view of our present status as a BDC and our anticipated
transformation into an operating company, we believe that our operating cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet operating
requirements and to finance routine capital expenditures through the next twelve months.</P>

changes in interest rates do not directly affect interest income. In addition, changes in market interest rates are not typically

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>

coronavirus may have on our financial and operating results due to numerous uncertainties regarding the duration and severity of
the crisis. To the greatest extent possible, we intend to operate our business in the ordinary course, which will likely include
a disposition of a portion or all of one or more of our portfolio investments in the next six months. Nevertheless, the ultimate
impact of the coronavirus pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change, and our business, results of operations, and financial
condition have been and will likely continue to be impacted by future developments concerning the pandemic and the resulting economic
disruption. In addition to one or more portfolio dispositions, we may also seek debt or equity financing to increase our liquidity
and availability to make future investments or pursue a transformative transaction.</P>
