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 5.75pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 0 0; 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. If we remain a BDC, we will 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 5.75pt 0 0; 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, and we expect that this authorization will be extended until later in 2021 or beyond (see Note 6
&ldquo;<I>Conversion to an Operating Company &ndash; Authorization to Withdraw BDC Election</I>&rdquo; below). 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>

of 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. 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>

highly contagious nature of the coronavirus and its various strains has caused numerous private and public organizations to
substantially alter the way in which they operate. In some cases, these workplace and operational alterations have become
permanent. 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 allowing 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 have not, therefore, been materially affected
by the coronavirus pandemic. However, government directives on social distancing and shelter-in-place mandates have severely
impaired our ability 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>

of 1934, as amended (&ldquo;Exchange Act&rdquo;), we do not consolidate portfolio company investments, including those in which
we have a controlling interest. Our interim unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (&ldquo;GAAP&rdquo;), for interim financial information and in accordance with
the requirements of reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they are unaudited
and exclude some disclosures required for annual financial statements. We believe that we have made all adjustments, consisting
solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of these interim financial statements.</P>

valuation techniques in a consistent manner; however, we are cognizant of current market conditions that might affect future valuations
of portfolio securities. In view of the foregoing, we believe that our operating cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient
to meet operating requirements from the date of this filing through the next twelve months.</P>

Ratio</B>&mdash;Under the 1940 Act, BDCs are required to have an asset coverage ratio of 200%, meaning that the maximum debt that

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 permits Equus to borrow up to twice the value of the Fund&rsquo;s net assets.

interest rates and fees, and more restrictive terms than debt facilities available in the past. In addition, during these years
and continuing into the first quarter of 2021, 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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3.7pt 5.75pt 10pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Investments
are valued utilizing various methodologies and approaches, including 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>

estimating the fair value of our interest in Equus Energy, we have given more emphasis to a market approach that examines
developed and undeveloped reserves and mineral acreage values, as well as a market approach that examines comparable industry
transactions involving oil and gas assets in proximity to the leasehold interests held by Equus Energy. Our management

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

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 1</B>&mdash;Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><B>Level 2</B>&mdash;Inputs
other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and fair
value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 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: 0.55pt 0 0">&nbsp;</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>

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>

levels of the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the subsequent measurement date

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

Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation</B>&mdash;Realized gains or losses are measured by the
difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of an investment or a financial instrument and the cost basis of
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
instruments and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation on exited investments and financial
instruments to realized gains or losses.</P>

interest income. To maintain our status as a RIC, we must pay out to stockholders this non-cash source of income in the form of
dividends even if we have not yet collected any cash in respect of such investments. To the extent we remain BDC and a RIC, we

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 became effective on January 1, 2021, but voluntary compliance
was 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>

the restatement of our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000
to 100,000,000, and the number of our authorized shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. The increase is intended

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt"><B>Share-Based
Incentive Compensation&mdash;</B>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 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 March 31,
2020, all awards granted under the Incentive Plan were fully vested. 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
for the three months ended March 31, 2020, 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 10 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 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">The 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.</P>

of COVID-19 and Other Events</B>&mdash;2020 witnessed unprecedented systemic events that had a material effect on oil prices globally
and continued through the first three quarters of the year. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2020, crude and natural gas prices
began to rise and, as of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q, have largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels or, in the case of
natural gas, now exceed spot prices that were available before the onset of the pandemic.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.7pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Notwithstanding
present pricing conditions and forecasts for the remainder of 2021, operators of the leasehold interests held by Equus Energy have
not yet undertaken significant capital expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect upon the operations and long-term
financial condition 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>

Recognition&mdash;</B>The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (&quot;ASC&quot;) 606,
<I>Revenue from Contracts with Customers.</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">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: 0 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 5.7pt 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 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 6pt 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>

limited liability company is not subject to the payment of federal income taxes as components of its income and expenses flow through

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

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>

are a number of important risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated

statements contained in this Quarterly Report, please see the discussion in Part II, &ldquo;<I>Item 1A. Risk Factors</I>&rdquo;,
and in Part I, &ldquo;<I>Item 1A. Risk Factors</I>&rdquo; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December

in this Quarterly Report concerning our efforts to transform Equus into an operating company, as well as the coronavirus pandemic
and the economic impact of the coronavirus on the Fund and our portfolio companies and oil and gas markets. You should not place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report relate only to

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>

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 assure you that we will be able to do so within any particular time period or at all, and,
although we expect our shareholders will extend our current authorization, we do not expect to cause the Fund to withdraw
it&rsquo;s election to be classified as a BDC by August 31, 2021. Moreover, we cannot assure you that the terms of any such
transformative transaction would be acceptable to us.</P>

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 were fully vested. 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 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. 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>

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 first two quarters of 2021. In addition, beginning in late 2020, a number of new and more highly
contagious strains of the virus began to appear, most notably of which was the Delta variant, which was first encountered in the
United States in March 2021. The resurgence in infections and the introduction of these new strains resulted in the return of enhanced
proscriptions on social gatherings, many of which continued through the end of the second quarter of 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">As of August
1, 2021, the number of U.S. deaths attributable to the coronavirus stood at over 618,000. Beginning in late 2020, however, a number
of global pharmaceutical companies introduced one and two-dose COVID-19 vaccines to the market. On July 28, 2021, the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control (&ldquo;CDC&rdquo;) reported that 58.0% of the U.S. population, inclusive of children and infants, had received
at least one dose of these vaccines. With lowering infection and death rates, a number of states had begun again to relax restrictions
on social and commercial activity, and most of these states had also relaxed requirements regarding the wearing of a protective
face mask. However, the CDC has reported that persons infected with the Delta variant can carry up to 1,000 times more virus in
their nasal passages than compared to the original coronavirus strain, making it one of the most highly contagious respiratory
diseases encountered in many years. The virulence of this and other strains has led some states and foreign countries to delay
or even reverse an easing of social activity proscriptions.</P>

of the Coronavirus on Our Operations</I>. The highly contagious nature of the coronavirus and its various strains has caused
numerous private and public organizations to substantially alter the way in which they operate. In some cases, these
workplace and operational alterations have become permanent. 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 allowing 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 severely impaired our ability 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>2020 witnessed unprecedented systemic events that had a
material effect on oil prices globally and continued through the first three quarters of the year. Commencing in the fourth quarter
of 2020, crude and natural gas prices began to experience a sustained increase and, as of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q,
have largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels or, in the case of natural gas, are now significantly in excess of pre-pandemic levels.
Notwithstanding present pricing conditions and forecasts for the remainder of 2021, operators of the leasehold interests held by
Equus Energy have not yet undertaken significant capital expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect upon the operations
and long-term financial condition 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 fund the operating expenses of Equus Energy over the next twelve-months.</P>

U.S. Economy</I>. Largely resulting from the economic disruption caused by the coronavirus, the U.S. economy was highly
volatile during 2020, but finishing the year on a strong upward trend. With the decrease in infection rates and deaths,
together with increased vaccination rates and a substantial fiscal stimulus, the U.S. economy began to stabilize, posting
annualized increases of 6.4% and 6.5%, respectively, in GDP growth during the first and second quarters of 2021. The
Conference Board Economic Forecast expects U.S. GDP to increase overall by 6.6% for all of 2021, 3.8% for 2022, and 2.5% for
2023. The sector that contributed most significantly to the GDP increase during both the first and second quarters of 2021
was consumer spending, principally driven by additional stimulus checks being delivered in the first quarter. (Sources: <I>U.S.

and Housing</I>. Prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. unemployment rate stood at 3.5%, a historic low. The
rate peaked at 14.7% in April 2020 and finished the year at 6.7%. The first quarter of 2021 saw this number further reduced to
6.0% and again to 5.9% as of June 30, 2021. However, this rate still remains significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. Commensurate
with expected strong GDP growth in 2021, Goldman Sachs predicts the unemployment rate to be 4.1% by the end of 2021. In keeping
with this trend, with the exception of a few months during the height of the pandemic, the U.S. housing market saw robust growth
throughout 2020 and into the first two quarters of 2021. At the end of the second quarter of 2021, home prices averaged 24.8% higher
than a year earlier. Given the escalation in property values, a number of industry analysts have begun to consider if a significant
price correction will occur later in 2021. (Sources: <I>U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Labor Statistics, CNBC; Reuters</I>).</P>

Acquisition, and Private Equity Activity</I>. Merger and acquisition 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. The momentum of the second half of 2020 carried into the first
quarter of 2021 with a record $1.3 trillion in transactions during the period, a 94% increase from the same period in 2020. This
momentum continued into the second quarter, with a record $1.5 trillion in transactions during the period. A combination of low
interest rates and high equity values contributed to this trend, which is expected to continue into the remainder of 2021. (<I>Sources:

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Private
equity firms, 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 hit an all-time high of 298 SPAC transactions
during the first quarter of 2021. This number then slowed to 58 transactions during the second quarter of 2021, principally
due to enhanced SEC scrutiny, but is expected to gain momentum in the second half of the year. 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. The first half of 2021 witnessed a
record $580 billion in private equity transactions, with some industry analysts predicting the year 2021 to surpass $1.0
trillion in total private equity deals. Despite this increasing activity, low interest rates and large amounts of undeployed
capital from previous have continued to put upward pressure on asset prices and have constrained expected investment yields.

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,

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">We are subject
to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates with respect to investments in debt securities and outstanding debt
payable, as well as changes in marketable equity security prices. In the future, we may invest in companies outside the United
States, including in Europe and Asia, which would give rise to exposure to foreign currency value fluctuations. We do not use derivative
financial instruments to mitigate any of these risks. The return on investments is generally not affected by foreign currency fluctuations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">Our investments
in portfolio securities consist of some fixed-rate debt securities. Since the debt securities are generally priced at a fixed rate,
changes in interest rates do not directly affect interest income. In addition, changes in market interest rates are not typically
a significant factor in the determination of fair value of these debt securities, since the securities are generally held to maturity.
We determine their fair values based on the terms of the relevant debt security and the financial condition of the issuer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 5.75pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt">A major portion
of our investment portfolio consists of debt and equity investments in private companies. Modest changes in public market equity
prices generally do not significantly impact the estimated fair value of these investments. However, significant changes in market
equity prices can have a longer-term effect on valuations of private companies, which could affect the carrying value and the amount
and timing of gains or losses realized on these investments. A small portion of the investment portfolio could also consist of
common stock in publicly traded companies. These investments are directly exposed to equity price risk, in that a hypothetical
ten percent change in these equity prices would result in a similar percentage change in the fair value of these securities.</P>
