NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

In this report, we generally refer to Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. in the first person “we.” On occasion, we refer to our company in the third person as “Mill City Ventures” or the “Company.” The Company follows accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards (“ASC”) 946.

 

We were incorporated in Minnesota in January 2006. Until December 13, 2012, we were a development-stage company that focused on promoting and placing a proprietary poker game online and into casinos and entertainment facilities nationwide. In 2013, we elected to become a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). We operated as a BDC until we withdrew our BDC election at the end of December 2019. Since that time, we have remained a public reporting company filing periodic reports with the SEC. We engage in the business of providing short-term specialty finance solutions, typically in the form of loans, primarily to small businesses, both private and public, and high-net-worth individuals. To avoid regulation under the 1940 Act, we generally seek to structure our investments so they do not constitute “securities” for purposes of federal securities laws, and we monitor our investments as a whole to ensure that no more than  i 40% of our total assets consist of “investment securities” as defined under the 1940 Act.

 / 

 

 i 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 i 

Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Mill City Ventures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

 i 

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management and our Board of Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material. For more information, see the “Valuation of portfolio investments” caption below, and “Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” below. For purposes of its financial statement presentation, the Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in ASC 946.

 

 i 

Cash deposits: We maintain our cash balances in financial institutions and with regulated financial investment brokers. Cash on deposit in excess of FDIC and similar coverage is subject to the usual banking risk of funds in excess of those limits.

 

 i 

Valuation of portfolio investments: We carry our investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources. In the absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources, investments are measured at fair value as determined by our Board of Directors, based on, among other things, the input of our executive management, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and any independent third-party valuation experts that may be engaged by management to assist in the valuation of our portfolio investments, but in all cases consistent with our written valuation policies and procedures.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. In addition, such investments are generally 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.

 /

Table of Contents

 

Accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Observable inputs must be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are to be categorized into one of the three hierarchy levels based on the relative observability of inputs used in the valuation. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

 

·

Level 1: Observable inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2: Observable inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about what inputs a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

Under our valuation policies and procedures, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, and then apply the resulting information in determining fair value. For our Level 1 investment assets, our valuation policy generally requires us to use a market approach, considering the last quoted closing price of a security we own that is listed on a securities exchange, and in a case where a security we own is listed on an over-the-counter market, to average the last quoted bid and ask price on the most active market on which the security is quoted. In the case of traded debt securities the prices for which are not readily available, we may value those securities using a present value approach, at their weighted-average yield to maturity.

 

The estimated fair value of our Level 3 investment assets is determined on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors, pursuant to our written valuation policy and procedures. These policies and procedures generally require that we value our Level 3 equity investments at cost plus any accrued interest, unless circumstances warrant a different approach. An example of such circumstances may include a situation in which a portfolio company has engaged in a subsequent financing of more than a de minimis size involving sophisticated investors (in which case we may use the price involved in that financing as a determinative input absent other known factors), or when a portfolio company is engaged in the process of a transaction that we determine is reasonably likely to occur (in which case we may use the price involved in the pending transaction as a determinative input absent other known factors). Other situations identified in our valuation policy and procedures that may serve as input supporting a change in the valuation of our Level 3 equity investments include (i) a third-party valuation conducted by an independent and qualified professional, (ii) changes in the performance of long-term financial prospects of the portfolio company, (iii) a subsequent financing that changes the distribution rights associated with the equity security we hold, or (iv) sale transactions involving comparable companies, but only if further supported by a third-party valuation conducted by an independent and qualified professional.

 

When valuing preferred equity investments, we generally view intrinsic value as a key input. Intrinsic value means the value of any conversion feature (if the preferred investment is convertible) or the value of any liquidation or other preference. Discounts to intrinsic value may be applied in cases where the issuer’s financial condition is impaired or, in cases where intrinsic value relating to a conversion is determined to be a key input, to account for resale restrictions applicable to the securities issuable upon conversion.

 

When valuing warrants, our valuation policy and procedures indicate that value will generally be the difference between closing price of the underlying equity security and the exercise price, after applying an appropriate discount for restriction, if applicable, in situations where the underlying security is marketable. If the underlying security is not marketable, then intrinsic value will be considered consistent with the principles described above. Generally, “out-of-the-money” warrants will be valued at cost or zero.

 

For non-traded (Level 3) debt securities with a residual maturity less than or equal to 60 days, the value will generally be based on a present value approach, considering the straight-line amortized face value of the debt unless justification for impairment exists. The fair value for short-term non-banking loans is determined as the present value of future contractual cash flows discounted at an interest rate that reflects the risks inherent to those cash flows. The applied discount ranges from  i 12% to  i 53% and approximate rates currently observed in publicly traded debt markets for debt of similar terms issued by companies with comparable credit risk.

 

On a quarterly basis, our management provides members of our Board of Directors with (i) valuation updates for each investment and loan we hold; (ii) Mill City Ventures’ bank and other statements pertaining to our cash and cash equivalents; (iii) quarter- or period-end statements from custodial firms holding any of our investments; and (iv) recommendations to change any existing valuations of our investments or loans, or hierarchy levels, for purposes of determining the fair value of such investments or loans based upon the foregoing. The board then discusses these materials and, consistent with the policies and approaches outlined above, makes final determinations respecting the valuation and hierarchy levels of our portfolio investments.

 

Income taxes: 

 

 i 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Table of Contents

 

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.  We do not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.  Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2021, which were the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2022

 

 i 

Revenue recognition:  Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific investment method.

 

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted or amortized, as applicable, into interest income over the life of the related security using the effective-yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Loan origination fees are recognized when loans are issued. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past-due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to the policy described above if a loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

 

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal or stated value of the investment on the respective interest- or dividend-payment dates rather than being paid in cash, and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being repurchased by the issuer. PIK interest or dividends is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point we believe that PIK interest or dividends is not expected be realized, the PIK-generating investment will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment in placed on non-accrual status.

 

 i 

Allocation of net gains and losses:  All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for any investment are allocated in a manner proportionate to the shares owned.

 

 i 

Management and service fees: We do not incur expenses related to management and service fees. Our executive management team manages our investments as part of their employment responsibilities.

NOTE 5 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

We maintain a conflicts of interest and related-party transactions policy. Nevertheless, from time to time we may hold investments in portfolio companies in which certain members of our management, our Board of Directors, or significant shareholders of ours, are also directly or indirectly invested.  In this regard, we entered into the following related-party transactions:

 

 

·

On August 10, 2018, we entered into a loan transaction with Elizabeth Zbikowski who, along with her husband Scott Zbikowski, owned and continues to own approximately  i 534,445 shares of our common stock. In the transaction, we obtained a  i two-year promissory note in the principal amount of $ i 250,000, which was subsequently amended such that the note presently matures in December 2022. The promissory note bears interest payable monthly at the rate of  i 10% per annum. The note is secured by the debtors’ pledge to us of  i 277,778 shares of our common stock. The pledged shares are held in physical custody for us by Millennium Trust Company, as our custodial agent.

 

 

 

 

·

On January 3, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Eastman Investment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Lyle A. Berman, as trustee of the Lyle A. Berman Revocable Trust (collectively, the “Lenders”). Mr. Berman is a director of our Company. Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders made available to us a $ i 5 million revolving line of credit for us to use in the ordinary course of our short-term specialty finance business. See note 7 for further details.
 / 

 

 i 

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

Presently, we are a C-corporation for tax purposes and have booked an income tax provision for the periods described below.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have a deferred tax asset of $ i 4,000 and a deferred tax liability of $ i 45,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, our net deferred tax asset consists of foreign tax credit carryforwards, unrealized gain/loss, and other book to tax timing differences. Our determination of the realizable deferred tax assets and liabilities requires the exercise of significant judgment, based in part on business plans and expectations about future outcomes.

 /

Table of Contents

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 we had accrued income taxes of $ i 128,800 and $ i 1,269,000, respectively. The change in accrued income taxes was largely driven by $ i 1,536,000 of federal and state tax payments made during 2022. We recorded a benefit from  income taxes of $ i 28,442 ( i 27% effective tax rate) and a benefit from income taxes of $ i 300 ( i 27% effective tax rate) during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. We recorded income taxes of approximately $ i 346,000 ( i 27% effective tax rate) and $ i 1,010,978 ( i 30.4% effective tax rate) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 7 – LINE OF CREDIT

 

On January 3, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Eastman Investment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Lyle A. Berman, as trustee of the Lyle A. Berman Revocable Trust (collectively, the “Lenders”). Mr. Berman is a director of our Company.  Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders made available to us a $ i 5 million revolving line of credit for us to use in the ordinary course of our short-term specialty finance business. Amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement accrue interest at the per annum rate of  i 8%, and all our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a grant of a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets.

 

As a Lender, Mr. Berman is obligated to furnish only one-half of the aggregate $ i 5 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement has a five-year term ending on January 3, 2027, at which time all amounts owing under the Loan Agreement will become due and payable; subject, however, to each Lender’s right, including Mr. Berman, to terminate the Loan Agreement, solely with respect to such Lender’s obligation to provide further credit, at any time after January 3, 2023. In the event that a Lender, including Mr. Berman, terminates its lending obligations, the Loan Agreement requires that we repay such Lender, prior to the five-year maturity date, with the proceeds derived from specified investments.

 

During the period January 3 to June 30, 2022, the Loan Agreement provided for us to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent of the amount of credit available but unused under the Loan Agreement, and requires us to pay such fee in the form of shares of our common stock based on our net asset value per share on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter. The Loan Agreement grants the Lenders piggyback registration rights subject to customary terms, conditions and exceptions. Beginning July 1, 2022, we became obligated under the Loan Agreement to pay the quarterly unused commitment fee in cash.

 

At September 30, 2022, the balance outstanding on the line was $ i 2,313,000 with a maturity date of  i January 3, 2027.

NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

At September 30, 2022, we had  i 6,185,255 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

On August 9, 2022, the Company effected a stock combination (reverse stock split) of its  i common shares on a 1-for-2.25 basis such that every 2.25 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on that date were combined into one share of common stock.  Any fractional share resulting from the reverse stock split was rounded up to the nearest whole share.  The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s board of directors in accordance with Minnesota law and resulted in a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of capital stock available for issuance under the Company’s articles of incorporation.  This reduction was affected pursuant to the filing of articles of amendment with the Minnesota Secretary of State indicating that the Company, on a post-reverse-split basis, is authorized to issue up to  i 111,111,111 shares of capital stock.

 

On August 11, 2022, the Company completed its public offer and sale of  i 1,250,000 common shares pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC and declared effective on August 9, 2022.  Shares were sold by the Company at $ i 4.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $ i 5,000,000.  As part of the registered public offering, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to  i 187,500 additional common shares at the offering price, less underwriting discounts.  In connection with the offering, the Company issued the underwriter a five-year warrant to purchase up to  i 75,000 common shares at the per-share price of $ i 5.00.  Net proceeds to the Company after the payment of underwriting discounts, underwriting expenses, and the Company’s own offering-related expenses were approximately $ i 4,041,000.

NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASES

 

We are subject to two non-cancelable operating leases for office space expiring April 2, 2023. These leases do not have significant lease escalations, holidays, concessions, leasehold improvements, or other build-out clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions. The leases do not include options to renew.

 

Because our lease does not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The weighted-average discount rate as of December 31, 2021 was  i 4.5% and the weighted-average remaining lease term is one year.

 

Under ASC 840, rent expense for office facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $ i 18,589 and $ i 16,689, respectively.

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

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. In addition, unless expressly stated otherwise, the comparisons presented in this MD&A refer to the same period in the prior year. Our MD&A is presented in seven sections:

OVERVIEW

 

Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. was incorporated in the State of Minnesota on January 10, 2006. In this report, we generally refer to Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. in the first person “we.” On occasion, we refer to our company in the third person as “Mill City Ventures” or the “company.”

 

We are engaged in the business of providing short-term non-bank lending and specialty finance solutions to companies and individuals, generally on a secured basis. The loans we provide typically have maturities that are nine months or shorter, highly illiquid, and ordinarily involve a pledge of collateral or, in the case of loans made to companies, personal guarantees by the principals of the borrower. Our loans may be made for real estate acquisitions, renovation and sale, or other projects relating to real estate, title loans, inventory needs, inventory financing, solve for short-term liquidity needs, or for other similar purposes. We intend to remain opportunistic, however, and may occasionally engage in transactions that involve our acquisition of other rights (such as stock, warrants or other equity-linked investments) or that are structured differently or uniquely. Our business objective is to generate revenues from the interest and fees we charge, and capital appreciation from any related investments we make.

 

Our principal sources of income are interest and fees associated with our loans such as origination fees, closing fees or exit fees. In connection with the short-term non-bank specialty finance loans we provide, we may receive reimbursement of legal costs associated with loan documentation. We occasionally derive income from dividends paid on equity securities we hold from time to time, or from the sale of our equity securities. Our statement of operations also reflect increases and decreases in the carrying value of our assets and investments (i.e., unrealized appreciation and depreciation). Our principal expenses relate to operating expenses, the largest components of which are generally professional fees, payroll, occupancy, and insurance expenses.

 

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited. In addition, the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in the context of this overview.

 

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we made $13,924,333 of investments and loans and had $10,076,483 of redemptions and repayments, resulting in net investments at amortized cost of $17,913,927 at the end of the period.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made $18,133,352 of investments and loans and had $16,363,964 of redemptions and repayments, resulting in net investments at amortized cost of $10,562,451 at the end of that period.

        Investment Income

 

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income derived from the short-term non-banking loans we provide, together with fees we charge in connection with those loans, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, or consulting fees.  Any such fees will be recognized as earned.  In some cases, the interest payable to us on the short-erm loans we provide may accrue or be paid in the form of additional debt. The principal amount of the debt instruments, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will generally become due at the maturity date of those debt instruments.  On occasion, we may also generate revenue from dividends and capital gains on equity investments we make, if any, or on warrants or other equity interests that we may acquire.  

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest earned on our loan portfolio was $1,053,714 and $2,840,425, respectively, and our fees charged in connection with the loans was $61,510 and $511,510, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest earned on our loan portfolio was $663,101 and $1,756,492, respectively, and our fees charged in connection with the loans was $92,500 and $221,500, respectively.  The increase in the most recent period is primarily due to a combination of strong demand for our short-term loans and our enhanced ability to satisfy that demand with the additional cash resources we have derived from prior loans that have been repaid to us.  Our loan portfolio generates interest income, with a weighted-average interest rate on the loans of 26%.

 

        Professional Fees

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had $916,359 and $1,309,348 professional fees expense, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had $79,950 and $300,297 professional fees expense, respectively. The increase for the nine months in 2022 is due to legal costs incurred to close on several new short-term banking loans, to obtain our listing on the Nasdaq exchange,and our efforts to seek additional financing through a public offering of our common stock to grow our business.

 

        Net Realized Gain from Investments

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had $2,098,585 and $10,076,483, respectively, of sales of investments, resulting in $0 and $133,020 of realized gains, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had $6,474,137 and $16,363,964, respectively, of sales of investments, resulting in $289,138 and $3,818,737, respectively, of realized gains.  

 

        Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our investments had $0 of unrealized appreciation and $16,297 of unrealized depreciation, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our investments had $774,169 and $1,204,319 of unrealized depreciation, respectively.

        Changes in Net Assets from Operations

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a net decrease in net assets from operations of $36,126 and a net increase in net assets from operations of $893,993, respectively.  Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our per-share net decrease in net assets from operations was $0.01 and our per share net increase from operations was $0.18, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a net increase in net assets from operations of $31,288 and $2,557,836, respectively.  Based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our per-share net increase in net assets from operations was $0.01 and $0.53, respectively.

 

        Cash Flows for the Nine months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

 

The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected primarily by our provision of short-term loans, purchases of other investments, redemptions and repayments of our loans or investments, and other related factors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $6,429,293.  Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily related to the funding of our short-term loans and purchases of investments aggregating $13,924,333, offset mostly by redemptions and repayments of short-term loans and investments totaling $10,076,483. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $1,306,775.  Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily related to the funding of our short-term loans and purchases of investments aggregating $18,133,352, offset mostly by redemptions and repayments of short-term loans and investments totaling $16,363,964.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided in financing activities was $6,354,795. Cash flows provided in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily related to our public offering and our draw on the available line of credit, offset by payments against the line of credit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $539,296. Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were related to the payment of our stock dividend to investors.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $1,861,650, a decrease of $74,498 from December 31, 2021.  We expect that our existing funds, together with any funds raised in the future, will be used primarily to fund our provision of short-term non-bank loans and specialty finance solutions or for other general corporate purposes, including paying our operating expenses and servicing our existing debt.  Pending use of our cash as described, we may invest some portion of our cash in U.S. government securities or other high quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

 

On August 9, 2022, we effected a stock combination (reverse stock split) of our common shares on a 1-for-2.25 basis such that every 2.25 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on that date were combined into one share of common stock.  Any fractional share resulting from the reverse stock split was rounded up to the nearest whole share.  The reverse stock split was approved by our Board of Directors in accordance with Minnesota law, and resulted in a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of capital stock available for issuance under our articles of incorporation.  On a post-reverse-split basis, we are authorized to issue up to 111,111,111 shares of capital stock.

 

On August 11, 2022, we completed a public offer and sale of 1,250,000 common shares pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC and declared effective on August 9, 2022.  We sold these shares at $4.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,000,000.  As part of the registered public offering, we granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 187,500 additional common shares at the offering price, less underwriting discounts, which option was not exercised.  In connection with the offering, we issued the underwriter a five-year warrant to purchase up to 75,000 common shares at the per-share price of $5.00.  Our net proceeds after the payment of underwriting discounts, underwriting expenses, and offering-related expenses we incurred were otherwise obligated to pay, were approximately $4,041,000.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management will make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management also will utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results will almost certainly differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As our expected operating results occur, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our financial statements. Our most critical accounting policies relate to the valuation of our portfolio investments, and revenue recognition.  For more information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
