The short version

James C. Watson is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Aug 2011 and Aug 2014: CT California Fund VII, LLC (Aliso Viejo, CA — commercial — 2011; $13M reported sold to 70 investors), CT California Fund VIII LLC (Aliso Viejo, CA — commercial — 2014; $9.35M reported sold to 50 investors), CTR Co-Investment Fund, LLC (Aliso Viejo, CA — commercial — 2014; $4.5M reported sold to 19 investors) and CTF7-Costa Mesa Fund II, LLC (Aliso Viejo, CA — commercial — 2012; $1.23M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $28.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside CT Fund Manager VII, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity), Larry Mathena (2 shared filings), CT California Fund VII, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Marc S. Belluomini (1 shared filing) and Robert M. Campbell (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around James. Each name links to their own page.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Group linked by Larry Mathena (3 issuers, $17M reported sold, 2011–2012).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Larry Mathena has 3 companies on file and $17M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 4 public filings for James C. Watson and found 11 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 331 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

Note · Jan 12, 2012 – Aug 11, 2014

James C. Watson appears on 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

CT California Fund VIII LLC (last filing Aug 11, 2014; $9,350,000 sold of $25,000,000); CTF7-Costa Mesa Fund II, LLC (last filing Jan 12, 2012; $1,225,000 sold of $2,625,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

Worth asking · Sep 20, 2010 – Aug 17, 2011

Form D filed 331 days after the first sale — CT California Fund VII, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 20, 2010. The Form D was filed Aug 17, 2011 — 331 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 316 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CT California Fund VIII LLC (latest filing Aug 11, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 11, 2014 (first sale Jul 20, 2014). It reports $9,350,000 sold of $25,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Deals 4

Every issuer that named James C. Watson on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Same business address

19 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 4 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to James C. Watson by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 4 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
