NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Point Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of New York on July 13, 2010. On January 24, 2013, the Company changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.

  

On October 4, 2013, the Company filed a Form N-54A and elected to become a Business Development Company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, we elected to be treated for federal income tax purpose as a regulated investment company, or (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (the “Code”). Since March 31, 2017, the Company failed a RIC diversification test since one of the Company’s investments accounted for approximately 25% of the Company’s total assets. If the Company were to correct the failure, the Company should have disposed of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which it identified the failure to cure the failure and the Company would be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had not cured its failure to retain its status as a RIC and the Company does not intend to retain its RIC status. Accordingly, the Company is subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates.

 

The Company’s investment objective is to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Company intends to accomplish its objective by investing in the common stock, preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes of small and mid-cap companies. The Company’s investments are made principally through direct investments in prospective portfolio companies.  However, the Company may also purchase securities in private secondary transactions. The Company to a lesser extent also invested in private companies that meet its investment objectives. The Company meets the definition of an investment company in accordance with the guidance under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

 

Currently, the Company is considering various options, including liquidation, merger with another BDC or registered investment company, merger with an operating company and the withdrawal of its election to be regulated as a BDC.

 

On March 27, 2014, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hemp Funding, Inc., to invest in companies that are positioned for growth in the legal cannabis industry. The subsidiary has not made any investments to date and is inactive. During 2017, this subsidiary was dissolved.

 

The Company’s investment activities are managed by Eric Weisblum, the Company’s chief executive officer.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hemp Funding, Inc, through the date of dissolution. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 

 

All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accounting policies and procedures employed in the preparation of these financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which are contained in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2017. The consolidated balance sheet and consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2016, contained herein, were derived from those financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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 date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include the valuation of the Company’s investments.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $250,000. At September 30, 2017, the Company had cash balances exceeding the FDIC and SIPC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Securities Transactions

 

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale, and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively. The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Commissions and other costs associated with transactions involving securities, including legal costs, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales.

 

Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Portfolio Investments

 

Realized gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s cost basis and the net proceeds received from such disposition.  Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation/depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

Our investments consist of loans and securities issued by public and privately-held companies, including convertible debt, loans, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities.

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Valuation of Investments (continued)

 

  Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, and discounts for lack of marketability.

 

On a quarterly basis, The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, in good faith, determines the fair value of investments in the following manner:

 

Equity securities which are listed on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the closing trade price on the last trading day of the valuation period. For equity securities that carry a restriction inherent to the security, a restriction discount is applied, as appropriate. Investments in warrants are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Investments in securities which are convertible at a date in the future are valued assuming a full conversion into common shares and valued based on the methodology for equity securities described above, or at the respective investment’s face value, whichever is a better indicator of fair value. Investments in unlisted securities are valued using a market approach net of the appropriate discount for lack of marketability.

 

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). 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. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company’s investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors.

 

Because there is not a readily available market value for some of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values certain of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

 

Portfolio Company Investment Classification

 

The Company classifies its portfolio company investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act.  Under the 1940 Act, “Controlled Investments” are defined as investments in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or has rights to nominate greater than 50% of the board representation.  Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as investments in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.  Under the 1940 Act, “Non-Controlled/Non-Affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Controlled Investments nor Affiliated Investments. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any Controlled or Affiliated investments. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts.

Income Taxes

 

Through March 31, 2017, the Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

 

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, the Company must distribute annually at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. Additionally, if more than 25% of the Company’s total assets is invested in the securities of one entity, the Company would not meet the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.

 

Since March 31, 2017, the Company failed this diversification test since the Company’s investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDGS”) accounted for over 25% of the Company’s total assets (49.6% of total assets at September 30, 2017). The Company may be eligible for relief under certain RIC provisions. A fund which meets the requirements of the diversification test at the close of any quarter shall not lose its status as a RIC because of a discrepancy during a subsequent quarter between the value of its various investments and such requirements unless such discrepancy exists immediately after the acquisition of any security or other property and is wholly or partly the result of such acquisition. This discrepancy was not caused by the acquisition of any security. The failure was not a result of willful neglect. If the Company were to correct the failure, the Company should have disposed of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which it identified the failure to cure the failure unless the Company would otherwise be in compliance within the six month period and the Company would be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000. As of the September 30, 2017, the Company had not cured its failure to retain its status as a RIC and the Company does not intend to retain its RIC status. Accordingly, the Company will be subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of the Company’s status as a RIC is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital in excess of par or accumulated net realized loss, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax characterization of income or loss and any non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Company’s annual tax returns.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the impact of ASU No. 2016-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 - REDEEMABLE SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

In April 2013, pursuant to a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Stock Agreement”), the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series A, Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) for $400,000. Holders of Preferred Stock vote together with holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Each share is currently convertible into 500 shares of common stock at the option of the holder (subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation) based on a conversion formula (the Stated Value, currently $100, divided by the Conversion Rate, currently $0.20.) The Conversion Rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock dividends or stock splits or subsequent equity sales at a price lower than the current conversion rate. Each share has a $100 liquidation value. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis if paid on Common Stock. 

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of certain “triggering events.” In case of a triggering event, the holder has the right to redeem each share held for cash (currently $100/share) or impose a dividend rate on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock at 6% per annum thereafter. A triggering event occurs if the Company fails to deliver certificates representing conversion shares, fails to pay the amount due pursuant to a Buy-In, fails to have available a sufficient number of authorized shares, fails to observe any covenant in the Certificate of Designation unless cured within 30 calendar days, shall be party to a Change in Control Transaction, sustains a bankruptcy event, fails to list or quote its common stock for more than 20 trading days in a twelve-month period, sustains any monetary judgment, writ or similar final process filed against the Company for more than $100,000 and such judgment writ or similar final process shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar days, or fails to comply with the Asset Coverage requirement.

 

Because certain of these “triggering events” are outside the control of the Company, the Preferred Stock is classified within the temporary equity section of the statement of assets and liabilities.

NOTE 4 - REDEEMABLE SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (continued) 

 

Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement, the Company agreed that as long as the purchasers of its Series A Preferred Stock are holding said shares, the Company would comply in all respects with our reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company did not file its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2015 and its quarterly reports for the period ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, in a timely manner. The Company is currently not in breach of its agreement to remain current. The purchase agreement does not provide for any immediate consequence or default provision such as a reduction in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred, immediate redemption or the like.

 

The Preferred Stock has forced conversion rights where the Company may force the conversion of the Preferred Stock if certain conditions are met. The Company may elect to redeem some or all of the outstanding Preferred Stock for the Stated Value (currently $100/share) provided that proper notice is provided to the holders and that a number of conditions (the “Equity Conditions”) have been met.

 

If any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Company is a Business Development Company, the Company shall have asset coverage of at least 200% as of the close of business on the last business day of a calendar quarter. If the Company fails to comply with this requirement and it is not cured on a timely basis, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and Delaware law, proceed to redeem a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock (at $100/share plus any unpaid dividends and distributions) to meet is asset coverage requirement.

 

The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for the Preferred Stock of $400,000 approximates the fair market value of such Preferred Stock based on the short-term maturity of these instruments which also equals the redemption value reflected as on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the original Certificate of Designation in order to expressly ensure that holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock have the right to elect at least two directors at all times, have complete priority over any other class as to distribution of assets and payments of dividends, and have equal voting rights with every other outstanding voting stock. On May 11, 2017, the Company filed this amendment and restatement with the State of Delaware.

 

NOTE 5 – CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS

 

Financial instruments that subjected the Company to concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity investments and debt instruments (other than cash equivalents), which collectively represented approximately 74.6% and 48.9% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These investments consist of certain securities in companies with no readily determinable market values or in non-public companies, and as such are valued in accordance with the Company’s fair value policies and procedures. The Company’s investment strategy represents a high degree of business and financial risk due to the fact that certain of the Company’s portfolio investments (other than cash equivalents) are generally illiquid, in small and middle market companies, and include entities with little operating history or entities that possess operations in new or developing industries. Investments in non-public entities should they become publicly traded, would generally be (i) subject to restrictions on resale, if they were acquired from the issuer in private placement transactions; and (ii) susceptible to market risk.  Additionally, the Company is classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore may invest a significant portion of our assets in a relatively small number of portfolio companies, which gives rise to a risk of significant loss should the performance or financial condition of one or more portfolio companies deteriorate.

NOTE 7 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

As a business development company, the Company must continue to comply with numerous rules and regulations under the 1940 Act, including without limitation, maintaining at least 70% of its total assets as “qualifying assets”, having a majority of non-interested directors on its board, maintaining its securities under specific regulations, and the Company must meet certain diversification tests. If more than 25% of the Company’s total assets is invested in the securities of one entity, the Company would not meet the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. Currently, the Company is not in compliance. Since March 31, 2017, the Company failed a RIC diversification test since the Company’s investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDGS”) accounted for over 25% of the Company’s total assets (49.6% of total assets at September 30, 2017). If the Company were to correct the failure, the Company should have disposed of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which it identified the failure unless the Company would otherwise be in compliance within the six month period. Additionally, the Company would be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had not cured its failure to retain its status as a RIC and the Company does not intend to retain its RIC status. Accordingly, the Company is subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates.

 

If the Company loses its status or decides to revoke its status as a business a business development company, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to invest, on the Company’s operating results, financial condition and ability to pay dividends, and on the value of its common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q (the “Report”). This Report contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Overview

 

We are a closed-end, non-diversified investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  As a business development company, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.  For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Through March 31, 2017, we were treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or a RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  However, since March 31, 2017, we failed a RIC diversification test since our investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDGS”) accounted for over 25% of our total assets (49.6% of total assets at September 30, 2017). We were eligible for relief under certain RIC provisions. Unless we would otherwise be in compliance, in order to cure the failure, we must dispose of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which we identified the failure. Additionally, we may be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000. As of the September 30, 2017, we had not cured our failure to retain our status as a RIC and we do not intend to retain our RIC status. Accordingly, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of our status as a RIC is not expected to have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Investment Strategy

 

We seek to invest in companies that are asset rich and generating cash flow on a sustainable basis. Further, when identifying prospective portfolio companies, we seek the following attributes, which we believe will help us generate higher total returns with an acceptable level of risk. These attributes are:

 

  Strong management teams with meaningful equity ownership. We will seek experienced management teams with an established track record of success in place or available. We will typically require the portfolio companies to have proper incentives to align management’s goals with ours. Generally, we will seek companies in which the management teams have significant equity interests.

 

  Secure market positions that present attractive growth opportunities. We will seek companies that we believe possess advantages in scale, scope, customer loyalty, product pricing, or product quality versus their competitors, minimizing sales risk and generating margins that can be readily forecast.

 

  Industries with favorable trends.   We will seek industries with favorable industry trends and companies performing well within their industries and poised to benefit from a catalyst.

 

  Investing in private companies. We do not expect to invest in start-up companies or companies with speculative business plans.  We may also consider companies that are underperforming compared to their potential due to structural impediments with opportunities to restructure and refocus strategy and resources.  

 

 16 

 

  

  Diversification. We will seek to diversify our portfolio among companies engaged in a variety of industries, thereby potentially reducing the risk of a downturn in any one industry having a disproportionate impact on the value of our portfolio. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in this regard.

 

  Structure financing terms to limit down side risk.   Originating our own lending opportunities through our network will permit us to structure loans to enhance the element of capital preservation for our stockholders.
     
  Private equity sponsorship. Often we will seek to participate in transactions sponsored by what we believe to be high-quality private equity firms. Point Capital’s senior management team believes that a private equity sponsor’s willingness to invest significant sums of equity capital into a company provides an additional level of due diligence investigation and is an implicit endorsement of the quality of the investment. Further, by co-investing with quality private equity firms which commit significant sums of equity capital with junior priority to our future debt investments, we may benefit from having due diligence on our investments performed by both parties.

 

  Viable exit strategy. We intend to focus our investment activity primarily in companies whose business models and growth prospects offer attractive exit possibilities, including repayment of our investments, with the potential for capital gain on any equity interest we hold through an initial public offering of common stock, a merger, a sale or other recapitalization. See “Investment Objectives and Strategy.”

 

We plan to be the lead investor for transactions, as well as a co-investor with investment institutions for other transactions. Moreover, we may acquire investments in the secondary loan market, and, in analyzing such investments, we will employ the same analytical process that we use for our primary investments.

Investment Income:  For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we earned interest income of $6,504 and $11,256, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we earned interest income of $20,478 and $40,789, respectively, primarily resulting from interest earned on convertible debt and other debt.

The net unrealized loss on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $346,575 and $349,795, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had $301,690 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $579,209 as of December 31, 2016, a decrease of $277,519. We primarily used operating cash to pay professional fees and compensation expense. 

 

The Company believes that our existing available cash and liquid investments will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this report.

 

The Company has no agreements or arrangements to raise capital.

 

Since inception we have funded our operations and the purchase of our investments primarily through equity financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through the equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We intend to continue to fund our business by way of equity or debt financing until realized gains on our investments can support our operations. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

Although we believe that our existing available cash will enable us to meet our working capital requirements for at least 12 months, we may need to raise additional funds to continue investing in portfolio companies. If we are unable to raise capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our investment activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all of your investment.

 

We currently have no commitments with any person for any capital expenditures.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  We formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hemp Funding, Inc., to invest in companies that are positioned for growth in the legal cannabis industry. The subsidiary has not made investments to date. The Company consolidates the subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

Securities Transactions

 

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale, and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively. We record interest and dividend income on an accrual basis beginning on the trade settlement date (the date on which a financial transaction is settled and monies from the transaction have occurred) or the ex-dividend date, respectively, to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. Commissions and other costs associated with transactions involving securities, including legal costs, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales.

Realized gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s cost basis and the net proceeds received from such disposition. Net change in unrealized gains or losses is computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

Our investments consist of loans and securities issued by public and privately-held companies, including convertible debt, loans, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities.

 

We apply the accounting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).  This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, and discounts for lack of marketability.

        

 21 

 

 

On a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, in good faith, determines the fair value of investments in the following manner:

 

Equity securities which are listed on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the closing trade price on the last trading day of the valuation period. For equity securities that carry a restriction inherent to the security, a restriction discount is applied, as appropriate. Investments in warrants are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on inputs such as stock volatility, risk-free interest rates, holding period and dividend yield. Investments in securities which are convertible at a date in the future are valued assuming a full conversion into common shares and valued based on the methodology for equity securities described above, or at the respective investment’s face value, whichever is a better indicator of fair value. Investments in unlisted securities are valued using a market approach net of the appropriate discount for lack of marketability.

 

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). 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. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors.

 

Because there is not a readily available market value for some of the investments in its portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We record interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on debt or dividend of preferred shares for accounting purposes if there is reason to doubt the ability to collect such interest.

 

Income Taxes

 

Through March 31, 2017, we elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

 

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually at least 98% of our ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If we choose to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. We will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. Additionally, if more than 25% of our total assets is invested in the securities of one entity, we would not meet the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. 

 

Since March 31, 2017, we failed this diversification test since our investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDGS”) accounted for over 25% of our total assets (49.6% of total assets at September 30, 2017). We may be eligible for relief under certain RIC provisions. A fund which meets the requirements of the diversification test at the close of any quarter shall not lose its status as a RIC because of a discrepancy during a subsequent quarter between the value of its various investments and such requirements unless such discrepancy exists immediately after the acquisition of any security or other property and is wholly or partly the result of such acquisition. This discrepancy was not caused by the acquisition of any security. The failure was not a result of willful neglect. If we were to correct the failure, we should have disposed of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which we identified the failure to cure the failure unless we would otherwise be in compliance within the six month period and we would be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000. As of the September 30, 2017, we had not cured the failure to retain our status as a RIC and we do not intend to retain our RIC status. Accordingly, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of our status as a RIC is not expected to have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital in excess of par or accumulated net realized loss, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax characterization of income or loss and any non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of our annual tax returns.

 

We did not have any distributable income as of September 30, 2017 or 2016.  

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

During the normal course of its business, the Company trades various financial instruments and enters into various financial transactions where the risk of potential loss due to market risk, credit risk and other risks can equal or exceed the related amounts recorded. The success of any investment activity is influenced by general economic conditions that may affect the level and volatility of equity prices, interest rates and the extent and timing of investor participation in the markets for both equity and interest rate sensitive investments. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity in the markets in which the Company directly or indirectly holds positions could impair its ability to carry out its business and could cause losses to be incurred.

 

Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by increases or decreases in the fair value of investments resulting from market fluctuations.

 

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would occur if counterparties fail to perform pursuant to the terms of their obligations. In addition to its investments, the Company is subject to credit risk to the extent a custodian or broker with whom it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, who is also our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2017. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at such time to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer also concluded that our disclosure controls, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, was inappropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

  our failure to timely recognize that we issued shares to a consultant in 2014 and stock options to directors in 2015 in contravention of Section 23(a) of the Investment Act of 1940,
     
  the lack of Investment Act experienced internal staff,
     
  a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.
     
  a lack of control over custodian of certain instruments.
     
  a lack of control over valuation of certain investments. 

 

As of September 30, 2017, we concluded that such weaknesses continue to exist. Management determined that the deficiencies, evaluated in the aggregate, could potentially result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements in a future annual or interim period that would not be prevented or detected. Therefore the deficiencies constitute material weaknesses in internal control. Based on that evaluation, management determined that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2017. 

 

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings. 

There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of our company, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us. Our property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings. 

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

Other than discussed below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our most recent 10-K filing. 

We are subject to corporate-level income tax since we are unable to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.  

To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code, we were required to meet certain asset diversification requirements. The asset diversification requirement states that no more than 25% of the value of our assets can be invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Code rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses or of certain “qualified publicly traded partnerships.” Since March 31, 2017, we failed this diversification test since our investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDGS”) accounted for over 25% of our total assets (49.6% of total assets at September 30, 2017). As of the September 30, 2017, we had not cured the failure to retain our status as a RIC and we do not intend to retain our RIC status. Accordingly, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of our status as a RIC is not expected to have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. 

None 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. 

Pursuant to a Preferred Stock Agreement, we agreed that as long as the purchasers of its Series A Preferred Stock are holding said shares, we would comply in all respects with our reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act. We did not file our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2015 and our quarterly reports for the period ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, in a timely manner. We are currently not in breach of our agreement to remain current. The purchase agreement does not provide for any immediate consequence or default provision such as a reduction in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred, immediate redemption or the like. 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. 

Not applicable. 

Item 5. Other Information. 

On March 6, 2017, the Board unanimously approved the proposal to seek stockholder approval to authorize the withdrawal of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, referred to herein as the “Corporate Action.” The Board approved the proposal because it believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to make this change for various reasons including increased investment opportunities and greater access to capital through flexible financing activities. 

On April 11, 2017, the Majority Stockholders adopted resolutions by Written Consent authorizing the Board to undertake the Corporate Action. This Corporate Action will become effective immediately upon the Company’s filing of Form N-54C—“Notification of Withdrawal of Election to be Subject to Sections 55 Through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940” with the SEC (the ” Notice of Withdrawal”). This Notice of Withdrawal, when filed, will immediately terminate the Company’s status as a BDC under the 1940 Act. This approval does not, however, guarantee that the Company will file its Notice of Withdrawal. Rather, the Company intends to file its Notice of Withdrawal only if it identifies suitable business opportunities which would allow the Company to conduct its business as an operating company rather than as an investment company, as described in Section 3 of the 1940 Act.
