QUESTION 102(D)
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As disclosed in Waterside Capital Corporation's (the "Company") Form 8-K
filed on November 29, 2013, the United States Small Business Administration (the
"SBA") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia on November 20, 2013 seeking, among other things,
receivership for the Company and a judgment in the amount outstanding under the
Company's Loan Agreement with the SBA plus continuing interest (the
"Complaint"). Thereafter, the Company took steps to contest the Complaint.
As disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on May 05, 2014, on April 29,
2014 the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") met to reconsider the
decision to contest the Complaint and also seek declaratory relief against the
SBA. In light of developments occurring since December of 2013, including
projections of its portfolio companies and also recent discussions with the SBA,
the Board determined, after consultation with and advice of its counsel, that it
was not currently in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to
continue to contest the Complaint and also seek declaratory relief. The SBA was
informed of this determination. The Board also decided to consent to the
receivership process.
As disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on June 03, 2014, on May 28,
2014, with the Company's consent, the court for the action filed by the SBA (the
"Court") entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim,
Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting Money
Judgment against the Company (the "Order"). The Order appointed the SBA receiver
of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly
manner all of the Company's assets and entered judgment in favor of the United
States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of
$11,770,722.31. Such amount represents $11,700,000 in principal and $70,722.31
in accrued interest. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA
was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

SEC's Collection of Information
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control
number. Filing of this Form is mandatory. Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and the rules thereunder, and Sections 13 and 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require investment companies to file annual
and periodic reports with the Commission. The Commission has specified Form
N-SAR for reports for investment companies. The Commission staff uses the
information in performing inspections of investment companies, selectively
reviewing registration documents filed under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act
of 1933 and conducting studies and other types of analyses necessary to keep the
Commission's regulatory program for investment companies current in relation to
changing industry conditions. The information collected on Form N-SAR is
publicly available. Any member of the public may direct to the Commission any
comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate of this Form and any
suggestions for reducing the burden of the Form. This collection of information
has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the
clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. (S)3507.
