(2) LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million. Our operating cash flow and cash on hand is not sufficient to meet operating requirements or to finance routine capital expenditures through the next twelve months. We are therefore seeking liquidity from the sale of our portfolio interests, as well as seeking external debt and equity financing from third parties. In addition, we are actively seeking to fulfill the conditions of redemption relating to certain shares of preferred stock received in connection with our recent sale of Equus Energy as described in Note II Subsequent Events. Should any or all of the foregoing events not occur as contemplated, the Fund will not have the necessary funds to maintain normal operations and, therefore, substantial doubt would exist about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the first three quarters of 2024 and all of 2023, we borrowed sufficient funds to maintain the Fund’s RIC status by utilizing a margin account with a securities brokerage firm. If we seek to requalify as a RIC, there is no assurance that such arrangement will be available in the future. If we are unable to borrow funds to make qualifying investments, we may not requalify as a RIC. We would then continue to be subject to corporate income tax on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains, and distributions to stockholders would continue to be subject to income tax as ordinary dividends. If we continue to be a BDC and generate significant income and gains, but do not requalify as a RIC, we will be subject to corporate level tax and the non-deductibility of dividends, any of which could be material to us and our stockholders.
