NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Waterside Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”). The Company previously made equity investments in, and provided loans to, small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development. Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the Company’s investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996.

On May 28, 2014, with the Company’s consent, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, having jurisdiction over an action filed by the SBA (the “Court”), entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting Money Judgment (the “Order”). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

The Company effectively stopped conducting an active business upon the appointment of the SBA as the receiver and the commencement of the court-ordered receivership (the “Receivership”). Over the course of the Receivership, the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for the expenses of the Receivership. On June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated with the entry of a Final Order by the Court. The Final Order specifically stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order”. Upon termination of the Receivership, Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA.

The Company has no operating assets of any value, and the Company no longer has the SBIC license from the SBA. The Company is no longer operating as a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will now seek to either (i) enter into a new business; or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business which would benefit from operating as a public entity, and has undertaken a search to identify the best possible candidate(s) in order to provide value to the shareholders of the Company.

The Company filed with the SEC an application pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an order declaring that the Company has ceased to be a registered investment company. On April 22, 2020, the SEC issued an order under Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, declaring that the Company has ceased to be an investment company. As a result, the Company is now a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The unaudited financial statements herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information have either read or have access to the audited financial statements for the latest year ended June 30, 2020. Accordingly, note disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained on June 30, 2020, audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited financial statements. The Company evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the date of filing this report.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2021. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 25, 2020.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements of our Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company effectively ceased operations, has no significant liquid assets and continues to have net losses through the date of these financial statements. Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that our business is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no operating business or assets and no revenue, as well as limitations on our capital resources. We have incurred losses and negative operating cash flows since the Receivership, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. Roran, which is a related party to the Company, has agreed to advance our Company a limited amount of funding in order to partially meet our most critical cash requirements. The Company’s note payable to Roran, and related accrued interest, was due upon maturity on December 31, 2020 and no maturity extension has been granted to date. The Company does not presently possess sufficient resources to satisfy its obligations. For further discussion of the advances made by Roran, see Notes 3 and 4.

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was initially reported, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 has had a widespread and detrimental effect on the global economy as a result of the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries and actions by public health and governmental authorities, businesses, other organizations, and individuals to address the outbreak, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place, stay at home or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments may direct. Management believes the capital markets have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, which negatively impacts the Company’s ability to consummate a merger transaction.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s June 30, 2020 financial statements included in its 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Fiscal Year-End

The Company elected June 30th as its fiscal year-end date.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Beneficial conversion feature – The issuance of the convertible debt described in Note 3 generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with a non-separated embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital). The BCF is amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt.

Related Parties

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20 related parties include (a) affiliates (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of ASC 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and, (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows ASC 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

WATERSIDE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-13. ASC 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-13.

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are generally the prior three (3) years for federal purposes, and the prior four (4) years for state purposes; however, as a result of the Company’s operating losses, all tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes net income or loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Under the provisions of the Earnings per Share Topic ASC, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE

SBA Obligations

On March 30, 2010, the SBA notified the Company that its account had been transferred to liquidation status and that the then outstanding debentures of $16.1 million-plus accrued interest (the “Debentures”) were due and payable within fifteen days of the date of the letter. The Company did not possess adequate liquid assets to make this payment. The Company negotiated terms of a settlement agreement with the SBA effective September 1, 2010, which allowed the Company’s management to liquidate the portfolio so long as there are no events of default. The Debentures were repurchased by the SBA in September 2010, represented by a Note Agreement between the SBA and the Company. The Note Agreement had a maturity of March 31, 2013. In the event of a default, the SBA had the ability to seek receivership.

On May 24, 2012 the SBA delivered to the Company a notice of an event of default for failure to meet the principal repayment schedule under the Note Agreement (the “Notice”). Under the terms of the Notice and the Note Agreement, the SBA maintained a continuing right to terminate the Note Agreement and appoint a receiver to manage the Company’s assets.

On November 20, 2013, the SBA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia seeking, among other things, receivership for the Company and judgment in the amount outstanding under the Note Agreement plus continuing interest. The complaint alleged that as of October 31, 2013, there remained an outstanding balance of $11,762,634 under the Note Agreement, including interest, which continued to accrue at the rate of $2,021 per day. The SBA, in filing the complaint, requested that the court take exclusive jurisdiction of the Company and all of its assets wherever located and appoint the SBA as permanent receiver of the Company to liquidate all of the Company’s assets and satisfy the claims of its creditors in the order of priority as determined by the court.

The Company initially took steps to contest the legal action initiated by the SBA and to oppose the receivership action. On April 29, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company, as then constituted (the “Board”), met to reconsider the decision to contest the SBA’s legal action. In light of developments occurring since December of 2013, including projections of its portfolio companies and discussions with the SBA, the Board determined, after consultation with and advice of its counsel, that it was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to continue to contest the legal action. The SBA was informed of this determination. The Board also decided to consent to the receivership process.

On May 28, 2014, with the Company’s consent, the court having jurisdiction over the action filed by the SBA (the “Court”) entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting Money Judgment (the “Order”). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company to marshal and liquidate in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. Such amount represents $11,700,000 in principal and $70,722 in accrued interest. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

On June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated and a final order entered by the Court provided Roran with control of the Company. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s outstanding judgment payable totaled $0, as the judgment had been satisfied in full.

Roran purchased the Company’s outstanding judgment payable owed to the SBA from the SBA in July 2017. As such, all amounts due under the outstanding judgment payable were owed to Roran rather than the SBA. Upon purchase, the Company began to accrue interest that was due under the original terms of the judgment payable. On May 16, 2019, Roran forgave the entire principal amount and interest due thereon of $10,609,635.

Roran Obligations

On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with Roran (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Roran agreed to loan the Company an amount not to exceed a total of $150,000 in principal over 18 months. On June 17, 2019, the Company amended the Loan Agreement increasing the loan amount to $200,000 and extending the maturity date to September 19, 2019. Each advance under the Loan Agreement will be documented under a Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company in favor of Roran (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Roran has the right to convert all or any portion of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 60% of the share price. The Company recorded a BCF due to the conversion option of $116,800, which has been fully amortized as of September 30, 2019. The debt discount has been amortized as interest expense through September 30, 2019. On December 13, 2019, the Company amended its Loan Agreement Note with Roran as follows: (i) the total amount to be loaned was increased to $250,000, and (ii) the maturity date was extended to June 19, 2020. Roran has agreed to extend the loan and advance additional funds until further negotiations have been concluded. On June 8, 2020, Roran converted $124,500 principal amount of its promissory note with the Company and $25,500 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, totaling $150,000, into 4,166,666 shares of Company Common Stock at the stated conversion price per share of $0.036. The remaining balance due on the promissory note, as of the conversion date, was $104,838 in principal and $19,988 in interest. As a result of the advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company has incurred total obligations of $137,338 as of December 31, 2020 (net of debt discounts and exclusive of accrued interest).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report, include forward-looking statements. Information in this report contains “forward-looking statements” which may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “will”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “targets”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Our management has compiled the forward-looking statements specified in the following information based on assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. Statements in this report concerning the following, without limitation, are forward-looking statements:

future financial and operating results;
our ability to fund operations and business plans, and the timing of any funding or corporate development transactions we may pursue;
our ability to either (i) enter into a new business; or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business which would benefit from operating as a public entity;
current and future economic and political conditions;
overall industry and market trends;
management’s goals and plans for future operations; and
other assumptions described in this report underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.

The following discussion of the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively, should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of a number of factors. An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should carefully consider the risks set forth in the Risk Factors and Business sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on September 25, 2020. Our management has compiled the forward-looking statements specified in the following information based on assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company was formed in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the SBA as an SBIC. The Company previously made equity investments in and provided loans to, small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development. Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company’s investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996.

In May 2014, the Company effectively ceased operations. The Company consented to a court order appointing the SBA as receiver of the Company to marshal and liquidate in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets. That order also entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. The SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

14

Over the course of the Receivership, the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for the expenses of the Receivership. The SBIC license granted to the Company by the SBA was revoked by the SBA effective March 20, 2017. On June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated. The Final Order specifically stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order.

Upon termination of the Receivership, Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA. With no assets and no SBIC license from the SBA, no income, and liabilities, at that time, in excess of $10,000,000, it became clear to the Company that continuing to operate as a registered investment company was impossible. The Company and Roran entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement on September 19, 2017, as amended, to fund the Company’s expenses while it sought a new business to undertake or to merge with an existing business. The New Board has continued to work toward achieving that goal.

On April 22, 2020, the SEC issued an order under Section 8(t) of the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, declaring that the Company has ceased to be an investment company. As a result the Company is now a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard-setting bodies, relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. Unless otherwise discussed herein, the management of the Company has determined that these recent accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements which we have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material.

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our quarterly financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

15

Assumption as a Going Concern

Management prepares the Company’s financial statements on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, the realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, given our current financial position and lack of liquidity, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

The issuance of the convertible debt issued by the Company (described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements) generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

16

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arms-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

5


The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, a full valuation allowance offsets the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses and presently has no revenue-producing business, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 20022020, and 2019



During the three and six months periods ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not have any operations, and therefore, there were no revenues. Expenses were limited to maintaining the Company in good standing and staying current, respectively, in its filing obligations with the SEC.

(1)17

Administrative Expense

Professional fees totaled $23,162 and $19,655 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019. The increase was primarily due to more activity in the current period as the prior comparable period required less work to keep the Company current in its SEC filings.

Professional fees totaled $45,141 and $32,452 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019. The increase was primarily due to more activity in the current period as the prior comparable period required less work to keep the Company current in its SEC filings.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $15,523 and $7,239 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019. The increase in interest expense was due to the immediate expensing of interest resulting from the maturity of the Roran Note in June 2020.

Interest expense totaled $28,793 and $29,900 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019. The decrease in interest expense was due to the immediate expensing of interest resulting from the maturity of the Roran Note in June 2020, offset by a decrease in the amount due under the Note.

Net Loss

We reported a net loss of $38,685 and $26,895 during the three months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019. The increase in net loss was directly attributable to the increase in professional fees and interest expense.

We reported a net loss of $73,934 and $62,352 during the six months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019. The increase in net loss was directly attributable to the increase in professional fees offset somewhat by a slight decrease in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows through December 31, 2020, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. We have obtained funding through a convertible loan facility of up to $250,000 to meet our most critical cash requirements, and of this amount, approximately $112,662 remains available to be drawn as of December 31, 2020. The loan facility matured on June 19, 2020 and Roran has agreed to extend the loan and advance additional funds until negotiations have concluded. The Company does not presently possess resources to repay related borrowings and accrued interest.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our fiscal 2020 financial statements, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020, do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty. In response to our Company’s cash needs, we raised funding as described in Note 3 to our financial statements. Any additional amounts raised will be used for our future investing and operating cash flow needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional amounts of financing.

Management’s Plans

We plan to seek, investigate, and consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or other strategic transaction (i.e., a merger) with a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other operating business entity, or enter into a new business (collectively, a “Business Target”) desiring the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly reporting and publicly held corporation. We have no operating business and conduct minimal operations necessary to meet regulatory requirements. Our ability to commence any operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources.

18

We are not currently engaged in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money borrowed from Roran or other sources.

During the next 12 months, we anticipate incurring costs related to (i) filing of Exchange Act reports; and, (ii) identifying and consummating a transaction with a Business Target. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through the use of funds borrowed from Roran, or other amounts to be loaned to or invested in us by other investors.

We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and needs additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not require substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

Zindel Zelmanovitch is our president, secretary, and our chief financial officer. Mr. Zelmanovitch is only required to devote a small portion of his time to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. No compensation has been paid to Mr. Zelmanovitch for his services as an officer and director. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees as long as we are seeking and evaluating Business Targets.

At December 31, 2020, we had only $1,783 cash on hand. Since we have no revenue or plans to generate any revenue, we will be dependent upon loans to fund expenses incurred in excess of our cash. Also, related party obligations totaling $165,212, which includes convertible note outstanding and accrued interest payable, are outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was initially reported, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 has had a widespread and detrimental effect on the global economy as a result of the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries and actions by public health and governmental authorities, businesses, other organizations and individuals to address the outbreak, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place, stay at home or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments may direct. Management believes the capital markets have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, which negatively impacts the Company’s ability to consummate a merger transaction.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Company’s management, including our Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020 due to our Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and personnel resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome (including any for the actions described above), whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events.

20

We are not currently a party to any other material legal proceedings. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that in our view would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results. However, legal claims are inherently uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future by legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Not applicable for a small reporting company.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERD SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On September 19, 2017, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in an amount up to $150,000 in favor of Roran which was increased to $200,000 on June 17, 2019 and $250,000 on December 13, 2019 (the “Note”), and as of December 31, 2020, $137,338 has been drawn by the Company under the Note. The Note was issued pursuant to a Convertible Loan Agreement with Roran (the “Loan Agreement”). Amounts borrowed under the Note bear interest at 12% per annum and related accrued interest as of December 31, 2020 is $27,874. All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note is due and payable on the maturity date, which was March 19, 2019 and then extended to September 19, 2019 then June 19, 2020. Roran has agreed to extend the loan and advance additional funds until further negotiations have concluded. The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at any time at the discretion of Roran any time after the first 90-days under the Note at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of: (i) 60% multiplied by the lowest trading price for the Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of the Note; or, (ii) 60% multiplied by the lowest trading price for the Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of conversion. The Note may be repaid in whole at any time. The repayment amount is subject to a premium on the outstanding principal balance of if repaid after 90-days, ranging from 10% to 25%, depending upon when repayment is tendered. If the Company fails to meet its obligations under the terms of the Note or the Loan Agreement, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and subject to penalties provided for in the Note. The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Note.

On June 8, 2020, Roran converted $124,500 principal amount of its promissory note with the Company and $25,500 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, totaling $150,000, into 4,166,666 shares of Company Common Stock at the stated conversion price per share of $0.036. The remaining balance due on the promissory note, as of the conversion date, was $104,838 in principal and $19,988 in interest. Roran has agreed to extend the loan and advance additional funds until further negotiations have concluded.

The Note issued under the Loan Agreement was offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

Amended and Restated Bylaws of Business

the Registrant, incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2 to Financial Statements and Exhibits on Form N-5/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 1998.

10.1

The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and is a closed-end investment company licensed byRegistrant’s License From the Small Business Administration, (the SBA)incorporated by reference to Exhibit 8 to Financial Statements and Exhibits on Form N-5/A as a Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC).  The Company makes equity investments in, and provides loans to, small business concerns to finance their growth, expansion and development.  Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company is restricted to investing only in qualified small business concerns as contemplated by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.

(3)

Investments

Investments are carried at fair value, as determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Company, through its Board of Directors, has adopted the Model Valuation Policy, as published by the SBA, in Appendix III to Part 107 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (the Policy).  The Policy, among other things, presumes that loans and investments are acquired with the intent that they are to be held until maturity or disposed of in the ordinary course of business.  Except for interest-bearing securities which are convertible into common stock, interest-bearing securities are valued at an amount not greater than cost, with unrealized depreciation being recognized when value is impaired.  Equity securities of private companies are presumed to represent cost unless

the performance of the portfolio company, positive or negative, indicates otherwise in accordance with the Policy guidelines.  The fair value of equity securities of publicly traded companies is generally valued at their quoted market price discounted due to the investment size or market liquidity concerns and for the effect of restrictions on the sale of such securities.

Discounts can range from 0% to 40% for investment size and market liquidity concerns.  Actual liquidity discounts in the portfolio at December 31, 2002 ranged from 15% to 40%.  Discounts for restriction on the sale of the investments are 15% in accordance with the provisions of the Policy.  The Company maintains custody of its investments as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Investments consist primarily of preferred stock and debt securities obtained from portfolio companies in accordance with SBIC investment regulations.  The financial statements include securities valued at $27,646,823 and $28,959,882 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002 (78.8% and 82.5% of assets), respectively.  The valuation process completed by management includes estimates made by management and the Executive Committee in the absence of readily ascertainable market values.  These estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and those differences could be material.

Settlement of Investee Litigation

Litigation involving two former investees was settled during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. The Company was awarded $1,418,268 in connection with the settlements. Of this amount, $935,018 was considered to be a recovery of expenses related to this litigation and is reflected as a component of operating income net of the expenses incurred during the quarter. The remaining $483,250, subsequently collected during the three-month period ended December 31, 2002, was considered to be a recovery of the investment and is reflected as a component of the realized loss on investments.

Guarantee

In December 2002, the Company entered into a guarantee agreement related to its investment in Lakeview Technology Solutions, Inc. (Lakeview). Under the agreement, the Company guarantees up to $200,000 of payables to a vendor of Lakeview. The maximum amount of potential future payment under the agreement is $200,000.  The vendor is entitled to require the Company to make payments under the guarantee agreement when notified that the Lakeview payable is past due.  In exchange for the guarantee, the Company charged Lakeview a fee of $4,550, and reduced the availability under Lakeview’s line of credit agreement with the Company by $200,000.

Waterside Capital Corporation (“Waterside” or the “Company”) is a specialty finance company located in Norfolk, Virginia.  The Company invests in equity and debt securities to finance the growth, expansion and modernization of small private businesses, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic Region.  The Company was formed in 1993 as the Eastern Virginia Small Business Investment Corporation.  Through June 30, 1996, the Company operated as a development stage company focused primarily on preparation to commence operation.  The Company was licensed in 1996 by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.  In October 1996 the Company made its first portfolio investment.  In January 1998 the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) to raise additional equity to support its growth strategy.

The majority of the Company’s operating income is derived from dividend and interest income on portfolio investments and application and processing fees related to investment originations.  The remaining portion of the Company’s operating income comes from interest earned on cash equivalents.  The Company’s operating expenses primarily consist of interest expense on borrowings and payroll and other expenses incidental to operations.  Waterside currently has 6 full time employees.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001

For the three months December 31, 2002, total operating income was $928,000 compared to $853,000 reported during the same period of 2001, an increase of $75,000 or 8.8%.  The increase in operating income is due to fee income increasing from $72,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 to $206,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 as a result of new investment originations increasing from $2.4 million to $4.0 million during the two comparable periods.

The Company’s quarterly operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 consists of dividends of  $402,000, interest on debt securities of $308,000, interest on cash equivalents of $12,000 and fee and other income of $206,000.  For the comparable period of 2001 the quarterly operating income consisted of dividends of $520,000, interest on debt securities of $252,000, interest on cash equivalents of $9,000 and fee income of $72,000.

Total operating expenses were $874,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, compared with the $816,000 reported for the three months ended December 31, 2001.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in legal fees associated with investment originations, settlements and investee litigation.  Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2002 consisted of interest expense of $528,000, salaries and benefits of $182,000, legal and accounting expenses of $87,000 and other operating expenses of $77,000.  For the three months ended December 31, 2001 total operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $527,000, salaries and benefits of $176,000, legal and accounting expenses of $44,000 and other operating expenses of $68,000.

The Company’s net operating income was $54,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to a loss of $39,000 reported for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company ceased recognizing deferred tax benefits associated with the generation of net operating losses from operations and its realized losses because management could no longer conclude that it is more likely than not that those benefits could be realized.  Because the Company operates as a licensed SBIC, its dividend income is not taxable.  As a result, it is

12


unlikely that the Company will generate taxable income from operations in the foreseeable future.  Unless the Company is able to generate significant realized gains on sales of investments, the benefits of tax losses from operations and any realized losses from settlement of investments are not likely to be realized.  As a result, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset to reflect an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The realized gain on investments of $38,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared favorably to the realized loss of $223,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001.  The loss for the three months ended December 31, 2001 was primarily due to a tax adjustment of $670,000 due to the deferred tax issues discussed in the previous paragraph.

The change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $287,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was due primarily to a write down in the fair value of the Diversified Telecom investment of $194,000 and a write down in the estimated fair value of Wireless Systems Engineering, Inc. of $67,000.  The change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $2.0 million before tax benefit of $302,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 was due to the recognition of numerous gains and losses recognized during the quarter.  The most significant gains recorded during the quarter were a $1.0 million unrealized gain recognized from the Delta Education Systems, Inc. investment and a $750,000 unrealized gain on the ISR Solutions, Inc. investment, both due to new significant outside investments.  These gains were offset by write downs on two investments including $2.4 million on the JMS North America, Inc. investment and $1.4 million on the Digital Square investment due to the deteriorating financial conditions of these investees.

The net decrease in stockholders equity resulting from operations of $195,000 or $.13 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to a decrease of $1,968,000 or $1.24 per share for the comparable three months ended December 31, 2001 due to the items noted above.

Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001

For the six months ended December 31, 2002, total operating income was $1,789,000 compared to $2,035,000 reported during the same period of 2001, a decrease of $246,000 or 12.1%.  The decrease in operating income is due to a combination of the following:

Management’s decision to discontinue the accrual of dividend and interest income on an increased number of investments due to the uncertainty of collection of the income.

Redemption or repayment of a number of performing investments resulting in the reduction on rates earned on the investment of the Company’s assets of approximately 12% to the current rates earned on temporary cash investments of approximately 1%.

The operating income reported for the six months ended December 31, 2002 consisted of dividends of $900,000, interest on debt securities of $655,000, interest on cash equivalents of $24,000 and fee and other income of $209,000.  For the six months ended December 31, 2001, operating income consisted of dividends of $1,120,000, interest on debt securities of $658,000, interest of cash equivalents of $17,000 and fee and other income of $239,000.

Total operating expenses were $1,723,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared with $1,655,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to an increase in legal fees associated with investee litigation.  Total operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2002 consisted of interest expense of $1,057,000, salaries and benefits of $373,000, legal and accounting expenses of $143,000 and other operating expenses of $151,000.  For the six months ended December 31, 2001 total operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $1,050,000, salaries and benefits of $369,000, legal and accounting expenses of $88,000 and other operating expenses of $147,000.  At December 31, 2002, the Company is in compliance with the SBA guidelines for management expense.

13


During the six months ended December 31, 2002, litigation involving two former investees was settled for $1,418,000.  As a result, a recovery of $615,000 of legal and other expenses associated with the litigation, net of expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2003 was recorded in net operating income during the quarter.

The Company’s net operating income was $680,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to $379,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

During the six months ended December 31, 2002 the Company realized a loss on investments of $2.5 million due primarily to the realization of the previously recorded unrealized loss related to the Capital Markets Group investment of $1,480,000 and the National Assisted Living investment of $1,040,000.  During the six months ended December 31, 2001, the Company realized a loss on investments of $1.3 million due primarily to the realization of the previously recorded unrealized loss related to Tangent Solutions, Inc. (formerly named Electronic Business Systems, Inc. and Triangle Imaging Group, Inc.,).  The realization was due to a bankruptcy court ruling.

The change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $2,065,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 was due to a combination of the reversal of unrealized depreciation related to the previously mentioned realized loss of the Capital Markets Group, Inc. investment and the National Assisted Living investment.  The Company also recognized an unrealized loss of $678,000 due to the revaluation of stock warrants held in ISR Solutions, Inc. due to deteriorating financial condition.  The change in unrealized depreciation on investments, net of taxes of $375,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was due to numerous gains and losses recognized on the Company’s investment portfolio.  The change in unrealized depreciation consisted of gains of $1.0 million on the Delta Education Systems, Inc. investment due to a new significant outside investment, $750,000 on the ISR Solutions, Inc. investment due to a new significant outside investment, $537,000 on the Netplex Group, Inc. investment due to restructuring of the terms of the investment which resulted in the recovery of a previously recognized unrealized loss and a $1.9 million reclassification of unrealized depreciation related to Tangent Solutions, Inc. to a realized loss.  These gains were offset by unrealized losses recognized of $2.4 million on the JMS North America, Inc. investment and $1.4 million on the Digital Square investment due to the deteriorating financial condition of these investees.

The net increase in stockholders equity resulting from operations of $264,000 or $.17 per share for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to a decrease of $1,313,000 or $.83 per share for the comparable six months ended December 31, 2001 due to the items noted above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2002, the Company’s investment portfolio totaled $29.0 million compared with $27.6 million reported at June 30, 2002.  For the six months ended December 31, 2002 the Company originated $3,970,000 in new investments and received payments and proceeds from sales of investments of $186,000.  For the comparable six months ended December 31, 2001, the Company originated $2,661,000 in new investments and received proceeds of $4,839,000 from sales of investments and principal collected on debt securities.

Net asset value per common share increased to $5.70 per share at December 31, 2002 from the $5.52 per share reported at June 30, 2002.

During the six months ended December 31, 2002, the net cash provided by operating activities was $117,000 compared to the $498,000 provided during the six months ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to the refund of previously paid income taxes received in 2001.  The net cash used in investing activities was $1,550,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the $2,118,000 provided by investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2001.  This fluctuation is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of investments and principal collected on debt securities of $4,839,000, partially off set by new investments made of $2,661,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to proceeds from the sale of investments and principal collected on debt

14


securities of $186,000 and new cash investments made of $2,220,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2002.  The Company used $14,000 to repurchase stock during the six months ended December 31, 2002 and there were no cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company’s business activities contain elements of risk. The Company considers the principal types of market risk to be:  risk of lending and investing in small privately owned companies, valuation risk of portfolio, risk of illiquidity of portfolio investments and the competitive market for investment opportunities. The Company considers the management of risk essential to conducting its business and to maintaining profitability.  Accordingly, the Company’s risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Company’s risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.

The Company manages its market risk by maintaining a portfolio of equity interests that is diverse by industry, geographic area, size of individual investment and borrower.  The Company is exposed to a degree of risk of public market price fluctuations as three of the Company’s twenty-six investments are in thinly traded, small public companies, whose stock prices have been volatile.  The other twenty-three investments are in private business enterprises.  Since there is typically no public market for the equity interests of the small companies in which the Company invests, the valuation of the equity interests in the Company’s portfolio of private business enterprises is subject to the estimate of the Company’s Executive Committee.  In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of the Company’s portfolio of equity interests may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for the equity interests existed.  Any changes in estimated value are recorded in the Company’s statement of operations as “change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.”  Each hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in value of the Company’s portfolio of equity securities of $29.0 million at December 31, 2002 would have resulted in unrealized gains or losses and would have changed net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the quarter by $290,000.

The Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of assets and liabilities.  The Company utilizes various methods to assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect of interest income net of interest expense, the market value of net assets and the value at risk in an effort to ensure that the Company is insulated from any significant adverse effects from changes in interest rates.  Based on the model used for the sensitivity of interest income net of interest expense, if the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have affected net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations negligibly over a three-month  or six-month horizon.  Although management believes that this measure is indicative of the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect operating results.  Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by this estimate.

Forward Looking Statements

Included in this report and other written and oral information by management from time to time, including reports to shareholders, quarterly and semi-annual shareholder letters, filings with the Commission, news releases and investor presentations, are forward-looking statements about business objectives and strategies, market potential, the Company’s ability to expand the geographic scope of its investments, the quality of the Company’s due diligence efforts, its financing plans, its vendors, suppliers, and portfolio companies, future financial performance and other matters that reflect management’s expectations as of the date made.

15


Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations and assumptions contained in the foregoing are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  It is possible that the assumptions made by management – including, but not limited to, the average maturity of our investments, the potential to realize investment gains as these investments mature, investment opportunities, results, performance or expectations – may not materialize.  Actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-looking statements.  In addition to the above factors, other important factors that may affect the Company’s performance include:  the risks associated with the performance of the Company’s portfolio companies, dependencies on key employees, interest rates, the level of economic activity, and competition, as well as other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filingsfiled with the Securities and Exchange Commission press releases, and other communications.  The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
