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. 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 26.05pt 0 13.05pt; text-align: justify; 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 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 bonds, subordinated 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 a 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>

management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (&ldquo;BDC&rdquo;) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (&ldquo;1940 Act&rdquo;). In order to remain a BDC, we must meet certain specified requirements under the 1940
Act, including investing at least 70% of our assets in eligible portfolio companies and limiting the amount of leverage we incur.
Equus is also a regulated investment company (&ldquo;RIC&rdquo;) under Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
As such, we are not required to pay corporate-level income tax on the Fund&rsquo;s investment income. So long as we remain a BDC,
we intend to maintain our RIC status, which requires that we qualify annually as a RIC by meeting certain specified requirements.
For a discussion of these requirements necessary to maintain our status as a BDC and as a RIC, please see &ldquo;<I>Business Development

Generally. </I>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. Beginning in September 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.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 26.05pt 0 13.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Largely as a consequence
of this type of increased social interaction, the U.S. experienced a resurgence in COVID-19 infections and concomitant deaths that
continued through the end of 2020. In addition, in late 2020, new and more highly contagious strains of the virus appeared in the
United Kingdom and South Africa, both of which were transmitted across the globe within a matter of weeks. The resurgence in infections
and the introduction of these new strains resulted in the return of enhanced proscriptions on social gatherings, many of which
have continued through the remainder of 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021. As of March 8, 2021, the number of U.S. deaths
attributable to the coronavirus stood at over 530,000.</P>

in late 2020, a number of global pharmaceutical companies introduced one and two-dose COVID-19 vaccines to the market. As of March
9, 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported that 18.1% of all adults in the U.S. had received at least one of these
vaccines. On March 11, 2021, the President of the United States announced that all adults in the U.S. would be eligible to receive
one of the vaccines by May 1, 2021. With lowering infection and death rates, certain states have begun again to relax restrictions
on social and commercial activity, most notably in Texas, where that state&rsquo;s governor recently announced the full reopening
of all businesses without requiring employees or patrons to wear a protective mask.</FONT></P>

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 has 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

of 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. During 2020, as oil and gas prices slowly recovered, a number of smaller oil and gas firms that incurred leverage
experienced severe economic challenges, including insolvency and bankruptcy. The recent recovery in oil and gas prices that continued
through the end of 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021 has improved the outlook and prospects for remaining small oil and
gas firms such as Equus Energy that hold development rights in low-cost production reservoirs such as those underlying the Permian
Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale regions.</FONT></P>

classified as a BDC, effective as of a date designated by the Board and our Chief Executive Officer, but no later than August
31, 2021. This authorization and others which preceded it are a consequence of our expressed intent to transform Equus into an
operating company or a permanent capital vehicle. 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 transformative transaction.
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. While we are presently evaluating various opportunities that could enable us to accomplish this transformation, we cannot

maximize the total 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 small and middle market capitalization companies that are generally not publicly traded at
the time of our investment. As a result of our endeavors in the energy sector, we may also seek to purchase or develop working
interests, mineral interests, and revenue leasehold interests in oil and gas properties, although we remain open to exploring investment
opportunities in a variety of other sectors. Should we continue to grow and develop Equus as a closed-end fund or permanent capital
vehicle instead of an operating company, we intend to include investments in progressively larger enterprises.</P>

to strike a balance between the potential for gain and the risk of loss. With respect to capital appreciation, Equus is a &ldquo;growth-at-reasonable-price&rdquo;
investor that seeks to identify and acquire securities that meet our criteria for selling at reasonable prices. We give priority
to cash producing investments wherein we invest principally in debt or preferred equity financing with the objective of generating
regular interest and dividend income back to the Fund. 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 a financing. Given market conditions
over the past several years and the performance of our portfolio, our Management and Board believe it prudent to continue to review
alternatives to refine and further clarify the current strategies.</P>

seek to provide guidance and management assistance with respect to such matters as capital structure, acquisitions, budgets, profit
goals, corporate strategy, portfolio management and potential sale of the company or other exit strategies. In connection with
their service as directors of portfolio companies, officers and directors of the Fund may receive and retain directors&rsquo; fees
or reimbursement for expenses incurred, and may participate in incentive stock option plans for non-employee directors, if any.
When necessary and as requested by any portfolio company, Management, on behalf of the Fund, may also assign staff professionals
with financial or management expertise to assist portfolio company management.&nbsp;</P>

follow-on investments may be made to exercise warrants or other preferential rights granted to the Fund or otherwise to increase
our position in a portfolio company. We may make follow-on investments in portfolio companies from cash on hand or borrow all or
a portion of the funds required. If we are unable to make follow-on investments due to lack of available capital, the portfolio
company in need of the investment may be negatively impacted, we may be required to subordinate our debt interest in the portfolio
company to a new lender, and our equity interest in the portfolio company may be diluted if outside equity capital is required.</P>

disposition of our investments in portfolio companies are critical to our ability to realize capital gains and minimize capital
losses. We may dispose of our portfolio securities through a variety of transactions, including recapitalizations, refinancings,
management buyouts, repayments from cash flow, acquisitions of portfolio companies by a third party and outright sales of the Fund&rsquo;s
securities in a portfolio company. In addition, under certain circumstances we may distribute our portfolio securities in-kind
to our stockholders. In structuring our investments, we endeavor to reach an understanding with the management of the prospective
portfolio company as to the appropriate method and timing of the disposition of the investment. In some cases, we seek registration
rights for our portfolio securities at the time of investment which typically provide that the portfolio company will bear the
cost of registration. To the extent not paid by the portfolio company, the Fund typically bears the costs of disposing of our portfolio
investments.</P>

subject to federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income and capital gains we distribute to our stockholders. Taxable
income generally differs from net income as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States due to temporary

our inability to incur additional indebtedness unless the Fund maintains an asset coverage of at least 150%, which may affect

in late 2019 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 present and prospective portfolio companies. In
addition, in late 2020, new and more highly contagious strains of the virus appeared in the United Kingdom and South Africa, both
of which were transmitted across the globe within a matter of weeks. The resurgence in infections in the fourth quarter of 2020
and the introduction of these new strains resulted in the return of enhanced proscriptions on social gatherings in certain areas
of the world, many of which have continued through the remainder of 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021. As of March 8, 2021,
the number of U.S. deaths attributable to the coronavirus stood at over 530,000. Notwithstanding the large-scale introduction of
vaccines into the market, if new and less inoculatable strains of the coronavirus continue to spread, or if the economic disruption

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.
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. Should these
disruptions and restrictions on travel continue as a result of the coronavirus, we cannot, therefore, assure you that our operations

uncertainty of the valuation of portfolio securities that do not have readily ascertainable market values, our fair value determination
may differ materially from the value that would have been used had a ready market existed for the securities. We determine the
fair value of investments for which no market quotations are available based upon a methodology that we believe reaches a reasonable
estimation of fair value. However, we do not necessarily apply multiple valuation metrics in reaching this determination and, in
some cases, we do not obtain any third-party valuations before reaching this determination. Our determinations of the fair value
of our investments have a material impact on our net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation
of investments as well as our assessment of interest income recognition. Our net asset value could be affected materially if our
determinations of the fair value of our investments differ significantly from values based on a ready market for these securities.</P>

in the equity securities of our portfolio companies. Also, when we make a loan, we sometimes receive warrants to acquire stock
issued by the borrower. Ultimately, our goal is to sell these equity interests and realize gains. These equity interests may not
appreciate and, in fact, may depreciate in value. At December 31, 2020, Equus Energy, LLC (&ldquo;Equus Energy&rdquo;) our sole
remaining portfolio company, had an estimated fair value that was, based upon our valuation methodologies, significantly below
the initial cost of such investment. For Equus Energy and other investments we may make in the future, the market value of our
equity investments may fall below our estimate of the fair value of such investments before we sell them. Given these factors,
there is a risk that we will not realize gains upon the sale of those or other investment interests that we hold.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 26.05pt 0 13.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">The oil and gas business is
fundamentally a commodity-based enterprise. This means that the operations and earnings of Equus Energy may be significantly affected
by changes in prices of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. The prices of these products are also dependent upon local, regional
and global events or conditions that affect supply and demand for the relevant commodity. In addition, the pricing of these commodities
is highly dependent upon technological improvements in energy production and development, energy efficiency, and seasonal weather
patterns. Moreover, as a worldwide commodity, the price of oil and natural gas is also influenced by global demand, changes in
currency exchange rates, interest rates, and inflation. Equus Energy does not employ any hedging strategies in respect of its oil
and gas holdings and is therefore subject to price fluctuations resulting from these and other factors. The operational results
and financial condition of Equus Energy, as well as the economic attractiveness of future capital expenditures for new drilling
and recompletions, may be materially adversely affected as a result of lower oil and gas prices.</P>

that any new investments may exceed this percentage for the immediate future. Moreover, follow-on investments, disproportionate

consist principally of securities that are subject to restrictions on sale because they are not listed or publicly traded securities.
If any of these securities were to become publicly traded, our ability to sell them may still be restricted because we acquired
them from the issuer in &ldquo;private placement&rdquo; transactions or because we may be deemed to be an affiliate of the issuer.
We will not be able to sell these securities publicly without the expense and time required to register the securities under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. In addition,
contractual or practical limitations may restrict our ability to liquidate our securities in portfolio companies because those
securities are privately held and we may own a relatively large percentage of the issuer&rsquo;s outstanding securities. Sales
also may be limited by market conditions, which may be unfavorable for sales of securities of particular issuers or generally.
The illiquidity of our investments may preclude or delay any disposition of such securities, which may make it difficult for us

to portfolio companies that are secured by a junior priority security interest in the same collateral pledged to secure debt owed
to lenders with liens senior to ours. Often, the senior lender has procured covenants from the portfolio company prohibiting the
incurrence of additional secured debt without the senior lender's consent. As a condition of permitting the portfolio company to
incur junior secured indebtedness, the senior lender will require that we, as junior lender, enter into an intercreditor agreement
that, among other things, will establish the senior lender's right to control the disposition of any collateral in the event of
an insolvency proceeding or other default situation. In addition, intercreditor agreements generally will expressly subordinate
junior liens to senior liens as well as the repayment of junior debt to senior debt.</P>

may cede to senior lenders under intercreditor agreements, we may be unable to control the manner or timing of collateral disposition.
In addition, the value of collateral securing our debt investment will ultimately depend on market and economic conditions at the
time of disposal, the availability of buyers and other factors. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the proceeds, if any, from
the sale or sales of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligations secured by our liens. There is also
a risk that such collateral securing our investments will be difficult to sell in a timely manner or to appraise. If the proceeds

are unwilling to lend against a portfolio of illiquid, private securities. The make-up of our portfolio has made it more difficult
for us to borrow at the level and on the terms that we desire. Our borrowings have historically consisted of a revolving line of
credit which has since expired, and a margin account used quarterly to enable us to achieve adequate diversification to maintain
our pass- through tax status as a RIC. Although we believe the Fund&rsquo;s liquidity is sufficient for our operating expenses
for the next twelve months, we could be wrong. If we are wrong, we would have to obtain capital from other sources to pay Fund
expenses, which could involve selling our portfolio holdings at an inopportune time and at a price that may be less than would
be received if such holding were sold in a more competitive and orderly manner.</P>

may exceed the income from the portfolio securities we purchase with the borrowed money. We will suffer a decline in net asset
value if the investment performance of the additional securities purchased with borrowed money fails to cover their cost to the
Fund (including any interest paid on the money borrowed). A decline in net asset value could affect our ability to make distributions
on our common stock. Our failure to distribute a sufficient portion of our net investment income and net realized capital gains
could result in a loss of pass-through tax status or subject us to a 4% excise tax. If the asset coverage for debt securities issued
by the Fund declines to less than 150% (as a result of market fluctuations or otherwise), we may be required to sell a portion
of our investments when it is disadvantageous to do so. See <I>Management&rsquo;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

been pursued, in part, with the objective of increasing the number of attractive investment opportunities to us and revising our
investment strategy to include more recurrent cash income producing investments, all of which could ultimately result in the resumption
of our managed distribution policy at some time in the future. The implementation of these revisions to our investment strategy
and the recurrent generation of cash income from our investments, however, cannot be guaranteed and will not occur if we complete

some may be subject to different and frequently less stringent regulation. As our portfolio size increases, we expect that some
of our investments will be larger. We believe that we will face increased competition to participate in these larger transactions.
These competitors may have a lower cost of funds and many have access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition,
some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider
variety of investments and establish more relationships and build their market shares. As a result of this competition, we may

to drive operational achievement and value creation. When conducting due diligence, we evaluate a number of important business,
financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues in determining whether or not to proceed with an investment. Our due
diligence review with respect to a potential portfolio company typically includes, but is not limited to, a review of historical
and prospective financial information including audits and budgets, on-site visits and interviews with management, employees,
customers and vendors, a review of business plans and an analysis of the consistency of operations with those plans, and other
research relating to the company, management, industry, markets, products and services, and competitors. Outside consultants,
legal advisers, accountants and investment banks are expected to be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending
on the type of investment. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence and making an assessment regarding an investment, we are
required to rely on resources available to us, including information provided by the portfolio company and, in some circumstances,
third party investigations. The due diligence process may at times be subjective, including with respect to newly organized companies

leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any
increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it

had we not borrowed. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.</P>

after giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets. A principal category of qualifying

take the form of a sale of Equus, a restructuring, a recapitalization, merger, or other business combination, or the conversion
of Equus into a permanent capital vehicle. We cannot provide any assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will
result in the identification or consummation of a transformative transaction of Equus into an operating company or permanent capital
vehicle. Similarly, any strategic decision will involve risks and uncertainties, and we cannot provide any assurance that any strategic
alternative, if identified, evaluated and consummated, will provide the anticipated benefits or otherwise enhance stockholder value.
The process is ongoing and, although we believe we will consummate a transaction that would result in the transformation of Equus
into an operating company during 2021, we may be wrong. Our Board of Directors has not set a timetable for completion of the evaluation
of a potential transaction.</P>

financing solutions for privately held middle market and small capitalization companies. We began operations in 1983 and have been
a publicly traded closed-end fund since 1991. Our investment objective is to seek the highest total return, consisting of capital
appreciation and current income. Consistent with our announced intention to transform Equus into an operating company or a permanent
capital vehicle, on January 20, 2021, our shareholders authorized our Board to withdraw our BDC election at any time before August
31, 2021. Nevertheless, we will not withdraw this election unless and until we have entered into a definitive agreement to convert
Equus into an operating company or a permanent capital vehicle. Further, 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.

total market capitalization not in excess of $250 million, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and short-term high-quality
debt investments. Equus is a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify as a RIC, we must meet certain source of income and
asset diversification requirements. If we comply with the provisions of Subchapter M, the Fund generally does not have to pay corporate-level
income taxes on any income that is distributed to our stockholders.</P>

We generate investment income from interest payable on the debt securities that the Fund holds, dividends received on equity interests
in our portfolio companies and capital gains, if any, realized upon sales of equity and, to a lesser extent, debt securities in
the investment portfolio. Our equity investments may include shares of common and preferred stock, membership interests in limited
liability companies and warrants to purchase additional equity interests. These equity securities may or may not pay dividends,
and the exercise prices of warrants that we acquire in connection with debt investments, if any, vary by investment. Our debt investments
in portfolio companies may be in the form of senior or subordinated loans and may be unsecured or have a first or second lien on
some or all of the assets of the borrower. Our loans typically have a term of three to seven years and bear interest at fixed or
floating rates. Interest on these debt securities is generally payable either quarterly or semiannually. Some promissory notes
held by the Fund provide that a portfolio company may elect to pay interest in cash or provide that discount interest may accrete
in the form of original issue discount or payment-in-kind (PIK) over the life of the notes by adding unpaid interest amounts to
the principal balance. Amortization of principal on our debt investments is generally deferred for several years from the date
of initial investment. The principal amount of these debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally will become
due at maturity. We also earn interest income at market rates on investments in short-term marketable securities. From time to
time, we generate income in the form of commitment, origination, structuring, and extension fees in connection with our investments.
We recognize all such fees when earned.</P>

time to time, we use leverage to finance a portion of our investments. We then repay such debt from the sale of portfolio securities.
Under the 1940 Act, we have the ability to borrow funds and issue debt securities or preferred stock that are referred to as senior
securities, subject to certain restrictions, including an overall limitation on the amount of outstanding debt, or leverage, relative
to equity of 2:1. Because of the nature and size of our portfolio investments, we periodically borrow funds to make qualifying
investments in order to maintain our qualification as a RIC. During 2020 and 2019, we borrowed such funds by accessing a margin
account with a securities brokerage firm. We invest the proceeds of these margin loans in high-quality securities such as U.S.
Treasury securities until they are repaid. We refer to these high-quality investments as &ldquo;restricted assets&rdquo; because
they are not generally available for investment in portfolio companies under the terms of borrowing. If, in the future, we cannot
borrow funds to make such qualifying investments at the end of any future quarter, we may not qualify as a RIC and would become
subject to corporate-level income tax on our net investment income and realized capital gains, if any. In addition, our distributions
to stockholders would be taxable as ordinary dividends to the extent paid from earnings and profits. See &ldquo;<I>Federal Income

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 27.05pt 0 13.05pt; 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 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. In connection with these awards, we recorded compensation expense of $0.08
million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.</P>

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.</P>

capitalization rates for similar enterprises 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>

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>

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>

rate of 4.1% in the fourth quarter of 2020, following a record 33.4% annualized increase during the third quarter of 2020. However,
largely as a result of the economic dislocation caused by COVID-19 and substantial contractions in the U.S. economy during the
first half of 2020, the U.S. economy shrank overall by 3.5% during the year, the most since 1946. With the rollout of additional
federal stimulus programs and the introduction of a variety of vaccines to combat the virus, most economists predict continued
growth for 2021, with the Conference Board projecting an annualized increase of 2.0% during the first quarter of 2021 and an overall
projected increase of 4.4% for the entire year. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that GDP will return to pre-pandemic levels
by mid-2021. (Sources: <I>The Conference Board, The Wall Street Journal; Bureau of Economic Analysis</I>).</P>

unemployment rate stood at 6.2%, well above levels experienced prior to the onset of COVID-19, but substantially below the high
of 14.5% in April 2020. Most of the recent employment gains were due to gains in the leisure and hospitality industry, with smaller
gains in temporary help services, health care and social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. Employment declined in state
and local government, education, and mining. Construction employment, which had increased sharply overall in 2020, also declined
in the first two months of 2021. (Source: <I>Bureau of Labor Statistics</I>).</P>

activity in 2020 totaled $3.6 trillion, a decrease of 7.7% from 2019. After slowing substantially in the first half of 2020, largely
as a result of economic uncertainty stemming from COVID-19, companies experienced record M&amp;A activity in the second half of
the year, amounting to $2.3 trillion in business combinations as compared to $1.3 trillion in the first six months of 2020, the
lowest half-year performance in almost ten years. The character of M&amp;A transactions changed during the year as well, as a number
of business combinations were pursued for reasons of survival in the first half of the year, but were consummated for more strategic
purposes in the second half of the year, with digital and technology firms comprising the bulk of these latter transactions. A
combination of low interest rates and high equity values contributed to this trend, which is expected to continue into 2021. (Sources:

special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and operating companies accumulated more than $7.6 trillion in cash during 2020 in
anticipation of economic fallout from COVID-19. Due to such accumulation, companies were more likely to use their own securities
rather than cash as currency in M&amp;A transactions than in prior years. Of particular note is the increased use of SPACs as acquisition
vehicles during 2020, which activity has intensified in 2021. Private equity firms invested more in underperforming companies than
during the 2008-09 market downturn, principally as a result of low capital costs and the anticipated short-term effect of the negative
economic fallout from the coronavirus. Private debt and equity funds continued to increase in size, with U.S. debt funds now averaging
more than $1.0 billion. Private equity firms deployed $708.4 billion across 5,309 transactions in 2020, down 7.3% and 3.4%, respectively,
from 2019, the first time since 2009 that the amount deployed and number of transactions decreased in the same year. Even though
private equity funds only raised an additional $203 billion in 2020 (a 36.6% decrease from 2019), that amount, when combined with
undeployed capital of previous years, has continued to put upward pressure on asset prices and constrained expected investment
yields. (Sources: <I>Pitchbook</I>, <I>Forbes</I>).</P>

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,
if we remain a BDC, we expect to achieve efficiencies in our cost structure if we are able to grow the Fund.</P>

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 presently represented by 141 producing and non-producing oil and gas wells, including associated development
rights of approximately 21,520 acres situated on 11 separate properties in Texas and Oklahoma. The working interests range from
a de minimus amount to 50% of the leasehold production of these wells. The wells are operated by a number of experienced operators
such as Apache, Chesapeake, and Chevron, which has operating responsibility for leasehold interests in the Conger Field, representing
approximately one-third of the producing well interests. The assets were purchased from Warren American Oil Company, LLC, a Tulsa-based
oil and gas firm. Following sharp price decreases of oil and gas in the first and second quarters of 2020, short and long-term
prices of oil began to recover in the second half of the year. As a result, the fair value of this holding decreased to $7.0 million
at December 31, 2020 from $8.0 million at December 31, 2019. See also <I>Significant Developments &ndash; Impact of the Coronavirus

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>

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>

portfolio consists of 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 may also consist of common stocks 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>

described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Fund's investment at fair value was $7.0 million at December 31, 2020.
The investment was valued in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board&rsquo;s Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 820, <I>Fair Value Measurement</I> (&ldquo;ASC 820&rdquo;).&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund&rsquo;s investment
portfolio is comprised of a privately-held equity instrument, which has been determined to be a Level 3 investment. In
accordance with ASC 820, Level 3 investments utilize inputs that are unobservable and significant to the entire fair value
measurement.&nbsp;Management may engage independent, third-party valuation firms to conduct independent appraisals and
review&nbsp;management&rsquo;s preliminary valuations of each privately-held investment in order to make their own
independent assessment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

valuation or&nbsp;the&nbsp;income approach, including third-party projected oil &amp; gas reserves, and (iii)&nbsp;the use of significant
unobservable inputs and assumptions in the valuation models&nbsp;which include&nbsp;projected&nbsp;reserves, discount rates, acreage
values, and market yields.&nbsp;Auditing&nbsp;these complex models&nbsp;and management&rsquo;s assumptions involved&nbsp;especially

Company&mdash;</B>Equus Total Return, Inc. (&ldquo;we,&rdquo; &ldquo;us,&rdquo; &ldquo;our,&rdquo; &ldquo;Equus&rdquo; the &ldquo;Company&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 NYSE 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 27.05pt 0 13.05pt; text-align: justify; 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 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 subordinated 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 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 27.05pt 0 13.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">We elected to
be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, although our shareholders have authorized us to withdraw this election on or before August
31, 2021 (see &ldquo;Significant Developments &ndash; Authorization to Withdraw BDC Election&rdquo; above). 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>

COVID-19&mdash;</B>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. Beginning in September 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.</P>

consequence of this type of increased social interaction, the U.S. experienced a resurgence in COVID-19 infections and concomitant
deaths that continued through the end of 2020. In addition, in late 2020, new and more highly contagious strains of the virus appeared
in the United Kingdom and South Africa, both of which were transmitted across the globe within a matter of weeks. The resurgence
in infections and the introduction of these new strains resulted in the return of enhanced proscriptions on social gatherings,
many of which have continued through the remainder of 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021.</P>

8, 2021, the number of U.S. deaths attributable to the coronavirus stood at over 530,000. Beginning in late 2020, a number of global
pharmaceutical companies introduced one and two-dose COVID-19 vaccines to the market. As of March 9, 2021, the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control reported that 18.1% of all adults in the U.S. had received at least one of these vaccines. On March 11, 2021, the
President of the United States announced that all adults in the U.S. would be eligible to receive one of the vaccines by May 1,
2021. With lowering infection and death rates, certain states have begun again to relax restrictions on social and commercial activity,
most notably in Texas, where that state&rsquo;s governor recently announced the full reopening of all businesses without requiring
employees or patrons to wear a protective mask.</P>

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 has 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>

Company and our portfolio investments 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 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 as 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>

investments, we may no longer qualify as a RIC. We would then be subject to corporate income tax on the Fund&rsquo;s net investment

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 27.05pt 0 13.05pt; 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 expectations about
those future amounts.</P>

financial ratios of peer companies; the principal market; and enterprise values, among other factors. Also, any failure by a portfolio

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>

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>

prices are not observable are generally private investments in the debt and equity securities of operating companies. One of the
primary valuation methods 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>

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>

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>

Under the 1940 Act, &ldquo;Affiliate Investments&rdquo; are defined as those non-control investments in companies in which we own
between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, &ldquo;Non-affiliate Investments&rdquo; are defined as investments

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. Dividend income is recorded as dividends are declared by the
portfolio company or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution.</P>

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. As of December 31, 2020, all shares were vested. We account for share-based compensation using the
fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, <I>Compensation&mdash;Stock Compensation</I>. 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 years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, we recorded compensation expense of $0.1 million, $0.3 million, $0.4
million, respectively, in connection with these awards.</P>

Energy&rdquo;) 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 presently consisting of 141 producing and non- producing
oil and gas wells. On September 30, 2020, the Fund provided an additional $0.6 million in capital to Equus Energy for the purpose
of additional working capital. 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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 27.05pt 0 13.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">The wells are operated by
a number of operators, including Chevron USA, Inc., which has operating responsibility for all of Equus Energy&rsquo;s 22 producing
well interests located in the Conger Field, a productive oil and gas field on the edge of the Permian Basin that has experienced
successful gas and hydrocarbon extraction in multiple formations. Equus Energy, which holds a 50% working interest in each of these
Conger 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 (appx. 8,500 feet) 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.</P>

Recently Adopted</B>&mdash;In May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that will impact the requirement of investment
companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial statements of certain of their portfolio companies or acquired funds
(the &ldquo;Final 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.
The Company elected to comply with the Final Rules effective June 30, 2020 which  reduced the requirement for the Company
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>

Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 - &ldquo;Disclosure Update and Simplification.&rdquo; This rule amends various SEC disclosure requirements
that have been determined to be redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded. The changes are generally expected
to reduce or eliminate certain disclosures; however, the amendments did expand interim period disclosure requirements related to
changes in stockholders' equity. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018. The Company has adopted these amendments as
currently required and these are reflected in its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Certain prior year
information has been adjusted to conform with these amendments.</P>

relevant disclosure requirements. The amendments take effect for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. There was no impact on the financial position or financial statement disclosures.</P>

June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, <I>Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326) &mdash;Measurement of Credit Losses
on Financial Instruments</I>, which amends the financial instruments impairment guidance so that an entity is required to measure
expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
forecasts. As such, an entity will use forward-looking information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also amends the guidance
in FASB ASC Subtopic 325-40, <I>Investments Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets</I>, related to the subsequent
measurement of accretable yield recognized as interest income over the life of a beneficial interest in securitized financial
assets under the effective yield method. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have an impact on our financial statements as we
do not have any financial instruments that are subject to this standard.</P>

about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor&rsquo;s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not
absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence
the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.</P>

oil &amp; gas properties. In December 2011, the Fund made an initial contribution of $250,000 to Equus Energy. On December
27, 2012, the Fund invested an additional $6,800,000 in Equus Energy for the purpose of additional working capital and to
fund the purchase of various working interests, presently consisting of 144 producing and non- producing oil and gas wells.
The interests were acquired by EQS Energy Holdings, Inc., a taxable wholly-owned subsidiary of Equus Energy (Equus Energy and
EQS Energy Holdings, Inc. are collectively referred to herein as the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;). On September 30, 2020, we

members of OPEC failed to agree on oil production levels, which is expected to result in an increased supply of oil and has led
to a substantial decline in oil prices and an increasingly volatile market. However, if the depressed pricing environment continues
for an extended period, it may lead to i) a reduction in the borrowing base needed in order to obtain a credit facility or additional
funding, which could negatively impact our liquidity and ii) a reduction in reserves. Consumer demand for our products may also
be negatively impacted.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 6.8pt 0 6.9pt; text-align: justify">The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide
a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.55pt 6.8pt 0 6.9pt; text-align: justify">Significant estimates include
volumes of oil and natural gas reserves used in calculating depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties, future net revenues,
abandonment obligations, impairment of undeveloped properties, the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable, contingencies,
and the results of current and future litigation. Oil and natural gas reserve estimates, which are the basis for unit-of-production
depreciation and depletion, and impairment have numerous inherent uncertainties. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function
of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Subsequent drilling results, testing,
and production may justify revision of such estimates. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of
oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. In addition, reserve estimates are sensitive to changes in wellhead prices of
crude oil and natural gas. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future.</P>

based on current assumptions that may be materially affected by changes to future economic conditions such as the market prices
received for sales of volumes of oil and natural gas. Future changes in these assumptions may affect these significant estimates

consists of accrued revenues from oil and gas sales. The Company routinely assesses the recoverability of all material receivables
to determine their collectability. The Company recognizes a reserve on a receivable when, based on the judgment of management,
it is likely that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated. No allowance for
doubtful accounts was considered necessary as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 6.75pt 0 6.9pt; text-align: justify">The Company follows the full
cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs incurred for both successful and
unsuccessful exploration and development activities, including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly identified
with these activities, and oil and gas property acquisitions are capitalized. All costs related to production, general corporate
overhead or similar activities are expensed as incurred. Proved properties are amortized using the units of production method (&ldquo;UOP&rdquo;).
The UOP calculation, in its simplest terms, multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced by the cost of those
reserves. The amortization base in the UOP calculation includes the sum of proved property, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion
and amortization (&ldquo;DD&amp;A&rdquo;), estimated future development costs (future costs to access and develop reserves) and
asset retirement costs that are not already included in oil and gas property, less related salvage value. In arriving at rates
under the UOP method, the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves are established based on estimates made by the
third-party geologists and engineers using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect
on the first day of each of the previous twelve months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined
by contractual arrangements. Prices are adjusted for &ldquo;basis&rdquo; or location differentials which require significant judgment,
as does the projection of future production volumes and levels of future costs, including future development costs. In addition,
considerable judgment is necessary in determining when unproved properties become impaired and in determining the existence of
proved reserves once a well has been drilled. All of these judgments may have significant impact on the calculation of depletion

accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties may not exceed a calculated &ldquo;ceiling.&rdquo; The ceiling limitation
is the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at ten percent per annum. Estimated future
cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling accrued asset retirement obligations. The estimated future net
cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first
day of each of the previous twelve months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual
arrangements. Prices are adjusted for &ldquo;basis&rdquo; or location differentials. Any excess of the net book value of proved
oil and gas properties over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional impairment in the accompanying statements
of operations. Based on calculated reserves at December 31, 2020, the unamortized costs of the Company&rsquo;s oil and natural
gas properties exceeded the ceiling test limit; therefore, Equus Energy recorded an impairment of $253,058 during the year ended
December 31, 2020. Equus Energy did not record any impairment during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.</P>

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>

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>

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>

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

commodity, there are various means by which upstream entities can transfer control (i.e., at the wellhead, inlet, tailgate of the

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>

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

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>
