*

The Fund’s past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns are calculated using the net asset value or “NAV” on June 30, 2024.

 

(a)

The Fund commenced operations on May 12, 2022. The performance is based on average annual returns.

 

(b)

The Nasdaq Composite Index is a market cap-weighted index, simply representing the value of all its listed stocks. The set of eligible securities includes common stocks, ordinary shares, and common equivalents such as ADRs. However, convertible debentures, warrants, Nasdaq-listed closed-end funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), preferred stocks, and other derivative securities are excluded.

 

The graph shown above represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund since inception. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All returns reflect reinvested dividends, but do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 (as restated, see Note 10) (Unaudited)

 

(1)    Organization

 

Destiny Tech100 Inc. (the “Fund”) was formed on November 18, 2020, as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on January 25, 2021. On May 13, 2022, the Fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on March 26, 2024 under the ticker symbol “DXYZ”.

 

Destiny Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for the overall management and affairs of the Fund and has full discretion to invest the assets of the Fund in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize the portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on equity and equity-related investments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity and equity-linked securities of companies either directly or through SPVs, of companies principally engaged in the technology sector. Equity-linked securities mean any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities of the issuer, or that provide the Fund with economic exposure to the equity securities of such issuer. The Fund will invest principally in the equity and equity-linked securities of what it believes to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies, located primarily in the United States. The Fund may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select U.S. publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet its investment criteria. The Fund concentrates its investments in companies operating in one or more industries within the technology group of industries. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved or that its investment program will be successful. We intend to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a Regulated Investment Company ("RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2023. No assurance can be provided that we will qualify as a RIC for any taxable year.

 

The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Destiny XYZ Inc. (the “Organizer”). The Organizer manages and controls the Adviser.

 

The Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”) has overall responsibility for monitoring and overseeing the Fund’s operations and investment program. A majority of the directors of the Board are not “interested persons” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Adviser.

 

(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. All accounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

(a)    Investments

 

Investments in securities may include private investments vehicles formed to invest in a particular portfolio company that rely on an exemption from the Investment Company Act pursuant to section 3(c)(1) or section 3(c)(7) (“special purpose vehicles” or “SPVs”). These investments are recorded on the trade date, the date on which the Fund agrees to purchase or sell the securities.

 

The Fund may invest in SPVs that hold forward contracts. Forward contracts involve the future delivery of shares of a portfolio company upon such securities becoming freely transferable or the removal of restrictions on transfer. The counterparties are shareholders of the portfolio company. The Fund does not have information as to the identities of the shareholders; however, counterparty risk is mitigated by the fact that there is not a single counterparty on the opposite side of the forward contracts.

 

The Fund may invest in “forward contracts” that involve shareholders (each a “counterparty”) of a potential portfolio company whereby such counterparties promise future delivery of such securities upon transferability or other removal of restrictions. This may involve counterparty promises of future performance, including among other things transferring shares to us in the future, paying costs and fees associated with maintaining and transferring the shares, not transferring or encumbering their

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

shares, and participating in further acts required of shareholders by the counterparty and their agreement with us. Should counterparties breach their agreement inadvertently, by operation of law, intentionally, or fraudulently, it could affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s ability and right to enforce transfer and payment obligations, and other obligations, against counterparties could be limited by acts of fraud or breach on the part of counterparties, operation of law, or actions of third parties. Measures the Fund takes to mitigate these risks, including powers of attorney, specific performance and damages provisions, any insurance policy, and legal enforcement steps, may prove ineffective, unenforceable, or economically impractical to enact. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have insurance policies related to its investments in forward contracts.

 

The organizer of each SPV holding forward contracts may carry an insurance policy at their own expense to protect the SPV against certain insured risks with respect to the forward purchase contracts. Insured risks include (i) an intentional attempt by a shareholder to deceive the organizer or the SPV or a failure to honor an obligation under, or refusal to settle, an obligation to the SPV; (ii) certain events of bankruptcy; and (iii) in the case of death of a shareholder, the refusal of the shareholder’s heirs, beneficiary, or estate to honor the obligation.

 

In cases where the Fund purchases a forward contract through a secondary marketplace or SPV, it may have no direct relationship with, or right to contact, enforce rights against, or obtain personal information or contact information concerning the counterparty. In such cases, the Fund will not be a direct beneficiary of the portfolio company’s securities or related instruments. Instead, it would rely on a third party to collect, settle, and enforce its rights with respect to the portfolio company’s securities. There is no guarantee that said party will be successful or effective in doing so.

 

Through its ownership of DXYZ OAI I LLC, the Fund holds economic exposure to Profit Participation Units (“PPUs”) in Open AI Global LLC, which are financial instruments that entitle the Fund to a contractual right to participate in the portfolio company’s future profits. The ownership of PPUs does not represent an equity ownership in the portfolio company. In addition, PPUs do not grant any voting rights or influence over portfolio company management.

 

Realized gains or losses on dispositions of investments represent the difference between the original cost of the investment, based on the specific identification method, and the proceeds received from the sale. The Fund applies a fair value accounting policy to its investments with changes in unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations as a component of net unrealized gain (loss).

 

(b)    SPV Presentation

 

The Fund has restated the presentation and disclosure of SPV investments in this semi annual shareholder report. In historical financial statements the Fund presented the underlying issuer and economic exposure of each SPV investment, with a tickmark explaining the SPV ownership structure on the schedule of investments. The presentation and disclosure of the SPVs in the current year financial statements has been revised to align with Regulation S-X 12-12. The Schedule of Investments in these financial statements reflects the name of the SPV in which each investment was made, along with the underlying issuer and economic exposure in parentheses. Accordingly, all corresponding notes and supporting disclosure have been updated to conform with the current presentation. The Fund believes these revisions enhance transparency for financial statement users.

 

(c)    Income Taxes

 

The Fund intends to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to each year to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes all of its net taxable income and realized gains each year. The Fund intends to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended December 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

 

The Fund has selected a tax year end of December 31.

 

There were no distributions for the period ended June 30, 2024.

Destiny Tech100 Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2024 (as restated, see Note 10) (Unaudited)

 

The Fund records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions as of and through June 30, 2024.

 

The Fund did not elect to be taxed as a RIC for the year ended, December 31, 2022, since the Fund operated privately for the first four months and, therefore, was ineligible to make the RIC election for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Fund elected to be treated as a RIC for the first time in its tax returns filed for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Fund has since identified a potential non-compliance issue with the 25% diversification test, as certain SPVs that have economic exposure to the securities of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) comprised approximately 25.9% of total assets as of March 31, 2023.

 

Management, in consultation with its tax and legal advisors, has identified and will implement remediation measures to ensure compliance with the 25% diversification test under Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code. These measures include considerations of raising additional capital and/or potential dispositions of certain investments to bring the Fund within the diversification threshold. Given these corrective actions, management believes that the Fund will be in compliance with the diversification requirements necessary to maintain its RIC status. Additionally, in the event of any ambiguity regarding qualification under the de minimis exception, the Fund may seek relief under the reasonable cause exception provided by the IRS.

 

If the Fund does not qualify for the de minimis exception within the applicable period (i.e. September 30, 2025), and cannot obtain relief under the reasonable cause exception, it would be taxed as a corporation. The financial impact of this classification cannot currently be estimated, as it would depend on available net operating loss carryovers and unrealized gains or losses at that date.

 

(d)    Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollar deposits at bank accounts at amounts which may exceed insured limits. The Fund is subject to risk to the extent that the institutions may be unable to fulfill their obligations.

 

(e)    Income and Expenses

 

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex- dividend date. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred.

 

The Fund incurred costs in connection with listing on NYSE and shelf registration statement. These costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will be charged to capital when shares are issued from the shelf registration. There were $147,600 of deferred offering costs accrued during the period, recognized as a Deferred Offering Cost on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK represents accrued interest that is added to the principal of the investment on the respective interest payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest income. As of June 30, 2024, none of the Fund’s investments provide for contractual PIK interest.

 

(f)    Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Fund’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Because of the uncertainties associated with estimation, actual results could differ from those estimates used in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2024 (as restated, see Note 10) (Unaudited)

 

(g)    Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Fund to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Fund maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions at levels that have historically exceeded federally- insured limits.

 

(h)    Risks and Uncertainties

 

All investments are subject to certain risks. Changes in overall market movements, interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry, can affect the ultimate value of the Fund’s investments. Investments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk that values will fluctuate as a result of changing expectations for the economy and individual investors.

 

Liquidity and Valuation Risk - Liquidity risk is the risk that securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time the Adviser would like or at the price it believes the security is currently worth. Liquidity risk may be increased for certain Fund investments, including those investments in funds with gating provisions or other limitations on investor withdrawals and restricted or illiquid securities. Some SPVs in which the Fund invests may impose restrictions on when an investor may withdraw its investment or limit the amounts an investor may withdraw. To the extent that the Adviser seeks to reduce or sell out of its investment at a time or in an amount that is prohibited, the Fund may not have the liquidity necessary to participate in other investment opportunities or may need to sell other investments that it may not have otherwise sold.

 

A substantial portion of the Fund's investments are illiquid, as determined by using the SEC standard applicable to registered investment companies (i.e., securities that cannot be disposed of by the Fund within seven calendar days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the securities). Illiquid and restricted securities may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Fund believes it is desirable to do so. The market price of illiquid and restricted securities generally is more volatile than that of more liquid securities, which may adversely affect the price that the Fund pays for or recovers upon the sale of such securities. Investment of the Fund’s assets in illiquid and restricted securities may also restrict the Fund’s ability to take advantage of market opportunities.

 

Valuation risk is the risk that one or more of the securities in which the Fund invests are priced differently than the value realized upon such security’s sale. In times of market instability, valuation may be more difficult, in which case the Adviser’s judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process.

 

Concentration Risk - Many of the Fund’s investments will be in U.S. private companies in the technology sector, and therefore will be particularly exposed to the risks attendant to investments in that sector. Investors generally have no assurance as to the degree of diversification of the Fund’s investments, either by geographic region, asset type or sector. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Fund’s investments may be made in relatively few geographic regions, asset types, security types or industry sectors. For example, as of June 30, 2024, approximately 53.4% of our investment portfolio is invested in private technology companies in the aerospace/aviation industry. Any such concentration of risk may increase losses suffered by the Fund, which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s overall financial condition.

 

General SPV Risks - Our investments in SPVs will typically require us to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles’ expenses, including operating and offering related costs, which could result in higher expenses than if we invested in the single underlying portfolio company directly. Because SPVs are organized by managers unaffiliated with us and we will typically be one of many investors in the SPV, in purchasing an SPV interest, we entrust all aspects of the management of the SPV to its manager. SPVs are generally organized as limited liability companies, and to the extent an SPV is organized as a Delaware Series LLC, we would be subject to the risks inherent in investing in a Delaware Series LLC. Some SPVs in which we invest may impose restrictions on when investors may withdraw their investment or limit the amounts investors may withdraw. To the extent we seek to reduce or sell out our investment at a time or in an amount that is prohibited, we may not have the liquidity necessary to participate in other investment opportunities or may need to sell other investments that we may not have otherwise sold. Additionally, SPVs are not publicly traded and therefore may not be as liquid as other types of investments. Further, the fair value of investments in SPVs may differ from the value of the underlying securities were we to hold such securities directly. Finally, as investors in an SPV, we own interests in the SPV and have no ownership rights to the underlying securities. These characteristics present additional risks for stockholders. Individual SPVs that we invest in may have different terms and structures, which may present unique risks and result in different fee levels.

June 30, 2024 (as restated, see Note 10) (Unaudited)

 

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics, and systemic market dislocations can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund Investments.

 

(i)    Restricted securities

 

Restricted securities are securities of privately-held companies that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Adviser. The restricted securities may be valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Adviser. As of June 30, 2024, there is no expected date for such restrictions to be removed for the Fund’s restricted securities.

(3)    Fair Value Measurements

 

The Fund’s Fair Valuation Procedures incorporate the principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act in conjunction with Topic 820 (“ASC 820”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Rule 2a-5 was created to address valuation practices with respect to the investments of a registered investment company and the oversight role performed by the Board in the valuation process. The Board has appointed the Adviser to serve as the Valuation Designee to perform fair value determinations.

 

ASC 820 was created to establish a framework for measuring fair value through the use of certain methods and inputs and shall be used by the Adviser in combination with the directives of Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price of an asset that one would observe in an orderly purchase and sale transaction between market participants at a specific point in time. Data inputs used to perform a valuation are categorized as follows:

 

Readily Available (Level I) – Investments that trade frequently, for which pricing quotations in active markets are easily accessible.

 

Limited Availability (Level II) – Investments lacking easily recognizable market data, but where certain other observable data points exist such as market quotes for similar investments, and other observable market conditions such as interest rates, yield curves, default rates, etc.

 

Unavailable (Level III) – Investments where there is virtually no market data available, with no observable market data points or inputs. Fair value may be derived from professional judgments and assumptions in the form of an analysis that considers relevant factors and criteria determined in good faith, using a methodology such as liquidation basis, present value of cash flows, income approach, etc. or an independent third-party appraisal, should the committee feel the need to engage one.

 

Investments in publicly traded securities are generally carried at the closing price on the last trading day of the reporting period, while private investments are carried at fair value, estimated using applicable methodologies or are valued at their NAV as a practical expedient. In instances where a public or private real estate market transaction is not sufficiently similar to the investment being valued, alternative valuation methodologies shall be utilized. The determined fair value may be discounted even further on account of factors including but not limited to capital and risk structure, restrictions on resale, and ownership structure.

 

The Fund is registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s investments will be fair valued on a quarterly basis and the Fund will calculate its NAV as of the close of each business quarter. Fluctuations in an investment’s fair value may be caused by volatility in economic conditions, among other factors. Such fluctuations in the fair value are classified as unrealized gains or losses in the Fund’s statement of operations. Upon the disposition of an investment, the corresponding gain or loss is classified as realized and will also be noted in the statement of operations.

 

Certain private fund investments are reported on the Fund’s schedule of investments as being measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) without further adjustment, as a practical expedient of fair value, and therefore these investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in a private investment funds represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from the investment if the Fund’s investment is liquidated at the measurement date based on NAV.

 

Investments in private financial instruments or securities for which no readily available pricing is available may be valued by an independent reputable third-party service provider on a quarterly basis or as needed. This includes securities for which the use of NAV as a practical expedient is permitted under U.S. GAAP because their value is not based on unadjusted quoted prices. In conjunction with input from the independent third-party valuation agent, the Adviser, as the Valuation Designee, shall value each Level III Investment on a quarterly basis.

 

The methods commonly used to develop indications of value for an asset are the Income, Market, and Cost Approaches. Each valuation technique is detailed in ASC 820.

 

The Income Approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Those valuation techniques include present value techniques; option-pricing models, such as the Black-Scholes- Merton formula (a closed-form model) and a binomial model (a lattice model), which incorporate present value techniques.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2024 (as restated, see Note 10) (Unaudited)

 

The Market Approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative).

 

The Cost Approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost). From the perspective of a market participant (seller), the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a market participant (buyer) to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence. Obsolescence encompasses physical deterioration, functional (technological) obsolescence, and economic (external) obsolescence and is broader than depreciation for financial reporting purposes (an allocation of historical cost) or tax purposes (based on specified service lives).

 

At various times, the Fund invests in SPVs and similar structures to gain exposure to securities of a single private issuer. The SPVs may hold forward contracts that represent the right to acquire common shares, common stock, preferred stock, profit participation units, an underlying SPV, or other investments. A third-party valuation agent will be engaged to determine fair market value of the SPVs taking the following into account: SPV financial statements, observed market indications, carry, fees, parity of SPV shares to underlying investment shares, forward contract credit risk, value of underlying investment(s) held by SPVs, and other relevant factors. The SPVs may incur a tax liability associated with distributions made by underlying portfolio investments. If an SPV charges management fees, those fees will be taken into consideration on the impact of the fair value of the SPV.

 

SPV Investments are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The investments in an SPV that have yet to purchase the underlying securities are held at cost and are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Fund follows the guidance in GAAP that allows, as a practical expedient, the Fund to value such investments at their reported NAV per share (or if not unitized, at an equivalent percentage of the capital of the investee entity). Such SPVs may provide an updated NAV or its equivalent on a quarterly basis. The Fund's Fair Valuation Committee meets frequently to discuss the fair valuation methodology and will adjust the value of a security if there is a public update to such valuation.

(4)    Capital Transactions

 

On January 25, 2021, the Organizer purchased 2,500,000 shares of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.00001, for $25,000.

 

In January 2021, the Fund commenced a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) pursuant to Rule 506(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to a limited number of qualified purchasers, as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the 1940 Act. A SAFE is an investment instrument similar to a convertible promissory note. The SAFE document is not a debt instrument, but rather appears on the Fund’s capitalization table like other convertible securities such as options. Unlike a convertible note, the SAFE does not have a maturity date and contains provisions for conversion into shares of the Fund’s common stock or redemption upon the occurrences set forth therein. Additionally, a SAFE does not accrue interest.

 

The purchasers of SAFEs are referred to as “SAFE Investors.” As additional consideration of a SAFE Investor’s purchase of the SAFE, each SAFE Investor was granted a warrant to purchase the number of shares of the Fund’s common stock equal to the purchase amount of the SAFE divided by $10.00 per share (or such amount per share established pursuant to any amendment to the terms of the SAFE) multiplied by either 40% for Tranche 1 or 30% for Tranche 2 and Tranche 3, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the “Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $11.50 per Warrant Share, subject to such adjustments as set forth in the terms of the SAFE (the “Warrant”).

 

Immediately prior to the SAFE Conversion (defined below), and in accordance with the terms of the SAFE agreement, the Fund performed a reverse stock split of shares of the common stock to ensure that a sufficient amount of shares of the common stock not owned by the Organizer would be outstanding after the SAFE Conversion.

 

On April 27, 2022, the Fund obtained approval from a majority of the SAFE holders to amend the SAFE Agreement to provide for a mandatory conversion of the SAFEs to shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “SAFE Conversion”). On May 11, 2022, each SAFE holder received from the Fund a number of shares of common stock equal to the total amount invested by such investor in the private offering divided by $10.00. Following the SAFE Conversion and the reverse stock split, the Fund has 10,879,905 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

The SAFE Investors who acquired shares of the common stock in connection with the SAFE Conversion (the “Lock-Up Shares”) are subject to limitations on their ability to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Lock-Up Shares during the “Lock-Up Period”. Immediately following the date the shares are listed for trading on the NYSE, 25% of the Lock-Up Shares will be freely transferable and not subject to the lock-up provisions as defined in the Fund’s Registration Statement. The Lock-Up Period for the remaining Lock-Up Shares is:

 

 

with respect to the first 33.33% of the remaining Lock-Up Shares, 60 days after the date our shares are listed for trading on the NYSE,

 

 

with respect to an additional 33.33% of the remaining Lock-Up Shares, 120 days after the date our shares are listed for trading on the NYSE, and

 

 

with respect to the last 33.33% of the remaining Lock-Up Shares, 180 days after the date our shares are listed for trading on the NYSE.

 

Warrants

 

As additional consideration in connection with the Private Offering, the Fund issued to investors warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase additional shares of the Fund’s common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per Warrant, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the SAFE Agreement entered into between the Fund and purchasers of SAFEs. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants had an expiration date of January 1, 2026.

 

21

 

 

Destiny Tech100 Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2024 (as restated, see Note 10) (Unaudited)

 

The Fund evaluated the Warrants pursuant to ASC 480 to determine whether they represent an obligation requiring the Fund to classify the instruments as a liability. Management determined the Warrants did not meet the criteria to be classified as liabilities under ASC 480 and next evaluated them under ASC 815.

 

Management then determined the Warrants did not meet the definition of a derivative. It was thus determined to next evaluate them under the guidance in ASC 815-40-15-5 through 15-8 to determine whether they meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Fund’s own stock. Management determined the Warrants did not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Fund’s own stock and were treated as a liability classified pursuant to ASC 815-40-15-7D.

 

It was determined that the Warrants expired 120 days following the Fund’s registration as an investment company on May 13, 2022, pursuant to Section 18 of the 1940 Act.

 

(5)    Related Party Transactions

 

(a)    Management Fee

 

On April 29, 2022, the Fund and the Adviser entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), whereby the Adviser receives a base management fee in the amount of 2.00% per annum (the “Base Management Fee”) on the first business day of each month prior to a public listing of the Fund’s shares of common stock. The Base Management Fee was calculated based on the average value of the Fund’s invested capital. The term "invested capital" refers to the amount of capital contributed by investors in the private offering of SAFEs. Under the Advisory Agreement, upon the listing of the Fund’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, the Adviser will receive a Base Management Fee, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.625% per quarter (2.50% annualized) of the average value of the Fund’s gross assets, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, the term “gross assets” includes assets purchased with borrowed amounts. The Fund’s shares began trading on the NYSE on March 26, 2024; the Base Management Fee was calculated with this methodology from that day forward.

 

Prior to the execution of the Advisory Agreement, the Fund and the Adviser operated under a separate investment advisory agreement whereby the Adviser received management fees in the amount of 2.00 percent per annum on a monthly basis. Management fees under the prior investment advisory agreement were calculated based on (x) the aggregate amount of the SAFEs purchased by SAFE investors multiplied by (y) the management fee divided by (z) twelve.

 

The Fund invests in SPVs that charge management fees in connection with the Fund’s investment.

The Organizer has made payments of the Fund’s expenses, and the Fund intends to reimburse the Organizer for these expenses. As of June 30, 2024, the reimbursable balance due to the Organizer is $0 as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the parent of the Adviser, an Affiliate of the Fund, owned 14.75% of the Fund’s shares.

 

(6)    Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

The Fund may be required to provide financial support in the form of investment commitments to certain investees as part of the conditions for entering into such investments. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any unfunded commitments and did not provide any financial support.

 

The Fund is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, and to the Fund’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Fund. From time to time, the Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of the Fund’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, to the extent the Fund becomes party to such proceedings, the Fund would assess whether any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

 

(7)    Investment Transactions

 

The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $0 and $0 respectively.

 

(8)    Tax

 

The Fund has selected a tax year end of December 31. The Fund has elected to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although the Fund has identified a potential non-compliance issue with the 25% diversification test that is in the process of being remediated (see Note 2). As such, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes all of its net taxable income and gains each year. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund continues to qualify as a regulated investment company.

 

To avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

 

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the tax years ended in 2023 and 2022, as noted below, was as follows:

 

 

 

2023

   

2022

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $3,588,375. This net operating loss may be carried forward indefinitely but would not be useable to offset income in taxable years in which the Company qualifies as a RIC. This net operating loss may also be subject to Section 382 limitations.

 

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. For the tax year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had capital loss carryforwards of $0 and $0, respectively, available for use in later tax years. While our ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, some of the Company’s capital loss carryforwards may become permanently unavailable due to limitations by the Code. The Fund has $0 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $0 of long term capital loss carryforwards, both of which have unlimited expiration.

 

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since inception of the Fund. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Tax years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in the United States. Due to the nature of the Fund’s investments, the Fund may be required to file income tax returns in several states. If the Fund does not qualify for the de minimis exception within the applicable period (i.e. September 30, 2025), and cannot obtain relief under the reasonable cause exception, it would be taxed as a corporation. The financial impact of this classification cannot currently be estimated, as it would depend on available net operating loss carryovers and unrealized gains or losses at that date.

 

(9)    Recent Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Fund as of the specified effective date.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” This change prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied prospectively. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes that the adoption of the ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

(10) Restatement

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund determined that it was appropriate to restate the presentation of the investments held by the Fund through SPVs in the schedule of investments included in the financial statements. As a result, the financial statements have been restated to revise certain line items and disclosure to align with Regulation S-X 12-12. The revisions to such line items reflect the name of the applicable SPV in which the investment was made, along with the number of units and underlying issuer or economic exposure in parentheses, previously presented as the underlying issuer along with the relevant shares or principal amount. Adjustments related to deferred offering costs, prepaid expenses, and valuation adjustments for Boom Technology, Inc., MWAM VC SpaceX-II, LLC, and Rhenium Bolt 2021, LLC were also made in the re-stated June 30, 2024 semi annual report. Accordingly, all corresponding statements, notes and supporting disclosures have been updated. The Fund believes these revisions enhance comparability and transparency for financial statement users.
