(1) For the assets that have more than one valuation technique, the Partnership may rely on the techniques individually or in aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each one ranging from 0-100%. When determining the weighting ascribed to each valuation methodology, the Partnership considers, among other factors, the availability of direct market comparables, the applicability of a discounted cash flows analysis and the expected hold period and manner of realization for the investment. These factors can result in different weightings amoung the investments and in certain instances, may result in up to a 100% weighting to a single methodology.

 

(2) The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement fo the Partnership’s assets and liabilities may include the last twelve months (“LTM”) EBITDA multiple, weighted average cost of capital, discount margin, probability of default, loss severity and constant prepayment rate. In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic, industry and market trends and developments; market valuations of comparable companies; and company specific developments including potential exit strategies and realization opportunities. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

 

(3) Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.

 

(4) Of the $977,766, $632,529 was valued solely using a market comparables technique.

 

(5) Of the $5,482,414, $4,176,193 was valued solely using a liquidation analysis technique.

 

(6) Of the $3,737,936, $3,737,936 was valued solely using a market comparables technique.
