<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s portfolio investments did not
experience a change in fair value during the quarter. The change in net assets was due, in part, to increased professional fees and expense
relating to due diligence and the examination of potential transactions that could, if consummated, be transformative for the Company.</P>
