(a) “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. Unless otherwise identified, all Senior Loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. The rates shown represent the weighted average rate at March 31, 2014. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.
(b) All or a portion of this position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date.
(c) Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.
(d) Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.
(e) Senior Loan assets have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of March 31, 2014, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements:

(f) Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At March 31, 2014, these securities amounted to $16,632,336, or 5.57% of net assets.

Security Valuation

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) values its investments primarily using the mean price provided by a nationally recognized third-party security pricing service or broker. Senior Loans, corporate notes and bonds, common stock, preferred stock and warrants are priced based on valuations provided by an approved independent third-party pricing service or broker, if available. If market or broker quotations are not available or a price is not available from an independent third-party pricing service or broker, or if the price provided by the independent third-party pricing service or broker is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”). In general, the fair value of a security is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the reporting date. Fair value procedures can, but are not obligated to, take into account any factors deemed relevant, which may include, among others, (i) the nature and pricing history of the security, (ii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the particular security, (iii) recent purchases or sales transactions for the particular security or similar securities, (iv) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available and considered reliable and (v) press releases and other information published about the issuer. In these cases, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined by the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Fund’s investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, but are valued based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date; and

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Fund has obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

At the end of each reporting period, management evaluates the Level 2 and Level 3 assets, if any, for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value at March 31, 2014 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. A summary of the Fund’s investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2014 is as follows:

(1) The Fund values certain of its Level 3 investments using its fair valuation procedures. These investments are generally privately held securities. There may not be a secondary market for these securities, the issuer may be newly formed and/or there may be a limited number of investors seeking to purchase or sell these securities. Certain Level 3 securities may be valued at cost. The value of securities held at cost is reviewed periodically utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that may affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and / or the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Fund.
