Equus Energy.</B> During the first quarter of 2022, the fair value of Equus Energy, LLC, increased from $13.0 million to $15.0 million.
Among the various leasehold rights held by Equus Energy is a 50% working interest in 2,400 acres in the Permian Basin known as the Conger
Field. A number of transactions that completed in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 were concentrated in the Permian Basin, at imputed
acreage values considerably in excess of values ascribed to such acreage in the past several years. In addition, West Texas Intermediate
crude prices increased from $75.33 per barrel at December 31, 2021 to $100.28 per barrel at March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately
33.1%, while natural gas prices increased from $3.82 per MMBTU at the end of 2021 to $5.46 per MMBTU at the end of the first quarter of
2022, which was an increase of approximately 42.9%. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

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 &lsquo;Eagle Ford Shale&rsquo; play. The Company received advice and assistance from a third-party valuation firm to support
its determination of the fair value of this investment.</P>
