* Period from inception (July 31, 2006) through December 31, 2006
** Year to date

Past performance of Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC (the "Company") is not a guarantee of future performance. Company returns are net of dividends to preferred shareholders, performance allocations and Company expenses, including financing costs and management fees.

(1)
Return on equity (net of dividends to preferred shareholders, performance allocations and Company expenses, including financing costs and management fees) calculated on a monthly geometrically liked, time-weighted basis. Returns are reduced in earlier periods because organizational costs and other expenses are high relative to assets.

(2)
Internal rate of return ("IRR") is the imputed annual return over an investment period and, mathematically, is the rate of return at which the discounted cash flows equal the initial outlays. The IRR presented assumes a liquidation of the Company at net asset value as of the period end date.

Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2008

1.
Organization and Nature of Operations

Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company, is registered as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Company was established for the purpose of enabling qualified investors to participate indirectly in the investment objectives of Special Value Continuation Partners, LP, a Delaware Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), of which the Company owns 100% of the common limited partnership interests. The Partnership is also registered as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the 1940 Act. The Partnership was formed to acquire a portfolio of investments consisting primarily of bank loans, distressed debt, stressed high yield debt, mezzanine investments and public equities. The stated objective of the Company is to achieve high total returns while minimizing losses.
 
On July 31, 2006, Special Value Bond Fund II, LLC and Special Value Absolute Return Fund, LLC (the “Predecessor Funds” or “SVBFII” and “SVAR”, respectively) contributed 76.5% and 92.7%, respectively, of their assets totaling $428,718,759 to the Partnership in exchange for 100% of the common limited partnership interests and general partnership interests in a non-taxable transaction. SVBFII contributed assets consisting of investment securities of $176,190,903 (including unrealized appreciation of $12,780,545), cash of $32,633,751 and liabilities over other assets of $115,220,209. SVAR contributed assets consisting of investment securities of $481,763,854 (including unrealized appreciation of $54,591,406), cash of $27,718,761 and liabilities over other assets of $174,368,301. SVBFII and SVAR then contributed their common limited partnership interests in the Partnership to the Company in exchange for 100% of the Company’s common shares, which SVBFII and SVAR then distributed to their respective members who chose to participate in the Company.

The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, the Company will not be taxed on its income to the extent that it distributes such income each year and satisfies other applicable income tax requirements. The Partnership has elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Certificate of Formation of the Company and the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership were both filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 17, 2006. Investment operations commenced and initial funding was received on July 31, 2006, prior to the time the Company and the Partnership were required to register as investment companies. Subsequently, the Company received additional investments from additional investors that caused both of them to be required to register as investment companies.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Partnership. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Organization and Nature of Operations (continued)

The General Partner of the Partnership is SVOF/MM, LLC (“SVOF/MM”). The managing member of SVOF/MM is Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”), which serves as the Investment Manager of both the Company and the Partnership. Babson Capital Management LLC serves as Co-Manager of both the Company and the Partnership. Substantially all of the equity interests in the General Partner are owned directly or indirectly by TCP, Babson Capital Management LLC and employees of TCP. The Company, the Partnership, TCP, SVOF/MM and their members and affiliates may be considered related parties.

Company management consists of the Investment Manager and the Board of Directors. Partnership management consists of the General Partner and the Board of Directors. The Investment Manager and the General Partner direct and execute the day-to-day operations of the Company and the Partnership, respectively, subject to oversight from the respective Board of Directors, which sets the broad policies of the Company and performs certain functions required by the 1940 Act in the case of the Partnership. The Board of Directors of the Partnership has delegated investment management of the Partnership’s assets to the Investment Manager and the Co-Manager. Each Board of Directors consists of three persons, two of whom are independent. The holders of the preferred limited interests voting separately as a class will be entitled to elect two of the Directors. The remaining directors will be subject to election by holders of common shares and preferred limited interests voting together as a single class.

Company Structure

Total initial capitalization of the consolidated Company is approximately $828.8 million, consisting of approximately $419.0 million of contributed common equity, an approximately $9.8 million initial general partnership interest (the “GP Interest”) in the Partnership held by SVOF/MM, $134 million of preferred limited partnership interests in the Partnership (the “Series A Preferred”), $266 million under a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Facility”) held by the Partnership and $23,500 in Series Z preferred shares of the Company. The GP Interest in the Partnership is shown as a minority interest in these consolidated financial statements. The contributed common equity, GP Interest, preferred limited interests and the amount drawn under the Senior Facility are used to purchase Partnership investments and to pay certain fees and expenses of the Partnership. Most of these investments are included in the collateral for the Senior Facility.

Organization and Nature of Operations (continued)

The Company will liquidate and distribute its assets and will be dissolved on June 30, 2016, subject to up to two one-year extensions if requested by the Investment Manager and approved by the outstanding common shares. The Partnership will liquidate and distribute its assets and will be dissolved on June 30, 2016, subject to up to two one-year extensions if requested by the General Partner and approved by SVCF as the holder of the common limited partnership interests in the Partnership. However, the Operating Agreement and Partnership Agreement will prohibit liquidation of the Company and the Partnership, respectively, prior to June 30, 2016 if the Series A Preferred are not redeemed in full prior to such liquidation.

Preferred Limited Partnership Interests

At June 30, 2008, the Partnership had 6,700 Series A preferred limited partnership interests (the “Series A Preferred”) issued and outstanding with a liquidation preference of $20,000 per interest. The Series A Preferred are redeemable at the option of the Partnership, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, under certain conditions, the Partnership may be required to either redeem certain of the Series A Preferred or repay indebtedness, at the Partnership’s option. Such conditions would include a failure by the Partnership to maintain adequate collateral as required by its credit facility agreement or by the Statement of Preferences of the Series A Preferred, or a failure by the Partnership to maintain sufficient asset coverage as required by the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2008, the Partnership was in full compliance with such requirements.

The Series A Preferred accrue dividends at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75%, or in the case of any holders of Series A Preferred that are CP Conduits, the higher of (i) LIBOR plus 0.75% or (ii) the CP Conduit’s cost of funds rate plus 0.75%, subject to certain limitations and adjustments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Investment Valuation

All of the investments of the Company are generally held by the Partnership. Management values investments held by the Partnership at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the Partnership’s Board of Directors and in conformity with procedures set forth in the Senior Facility and Statement of Preferences for the Series A Preferred. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Investments listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system, whether U.S. or foreign, are valued for financial reporting purposes as of the last business day of the reporting period using the closing price on the date of valuation. Liquid investments not listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system are valued by an approved nationally recognized pricing service or by using bid prices on the date of valuation as supplied by approved broker-dealers.

Semi-liquid investments, illiquid investments, and investments for which market quotations are determined to be unreliable are valued using valuations obtained from independent third party pricing or valuation services, or are valued internally by the Investment Manager under guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors and subject to their approval.

Investments valued internally by the Investment Manager are limited to 5% of the Total Capitalization of the Partnership, as defined in the Senior Facility. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing the Partnership’s assets, the Investment Manager will utilize external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, whenever possible. The Investment Manager’s valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, immediate liquidation value, nor incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to investments that are valued by the Investment Manager are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as these amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are actually liquidated.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The level category in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. At June 30, 2008, the investments of the Partnership were categorized as follows:

Investment Transactions

The Partnership records investment transactions on the trade date, except for private transactions that have conditions to closing, which are recorded on the closing date. The cost of investments purchased is based upon the purchase price plus those professional fees which are specifically identifiable to the investment transaction. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the specific identification method, which typically allocates the highest cost inventory to the basis of securities sold.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash consists of amounts held in accounts with brokerage firms and the custodian bank. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash consists of the cash held with brokerage firms and the custodian bank, and cash equivalents maturing within 90 days.
 
Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Partnership’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which is required to exceed the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Partnership may be delayed or limited.

Investments in Restricted Securities

The Partnership may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold to institutional investors in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and additional expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities, including any restricted investments in affiliates, are valued in accordance with the investment valuation policies discussed above.

Investments in Foreign Securities

The Partnership may invest in securities traded in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies. At June 30, 2008, the Partnership held foreign currency denominated investments with an aggregate market value of approximately 9% of Partnership’s total cash and investments.  Such positions were converted at the closing rate in effect at June 30, 2008 and reported in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, when they occur, are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.  The portion of gains and losses on foreign investments resulting from fluctuations in foreign currencies is included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Securities of foreign companies and foreign governments may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include, among other things, revaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transactions clearance and settlement practices and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of some foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Derivatives

In order to mitigate certain currency exchange and interest rate risks, the Partnership has entered into several futures contracts, swaps, and forward currency transactions. All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the statement of assets and liabilities. The transactions entered into are accounted for using the mark-to-market method with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings for the current period.

Valuations of futures contracts, swaps, and forward currency transactions at June 30, 2008 were determined as follows:

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs of approximately $3.5 million were incurred in connection with placing the Partnership’s Senior Facility. These costs are being deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years, the estimated life of the Senior Facility. The impact of utilizing the straight-line amortization method versus the effective-interest method is not expected to be material to the operations of the Company or the Partnership.

Organization Costs

Organization costs of $0.3 million were incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the Partnership, and expensed to operations at inception.

Purchase Discounts

The majority of the Partnership’s high yield and distressed debt securities are purchased at a considerable discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer, as well as general market factors that influence the financial markets, as a whole. GAAP requires that discounts on corporate (investment grade) bonds municipal bonds and treasury bonds be amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method. The process of accreting the purchase discount of a debt security to par over the holding period results in accounting entries that increase the cost basis of the investment and record a noncash income accrual to the statement of operations. The Partnership considers it prudent to follow GAAP guidance that requires the Investment Manager to consider the collectibility of interest when making accruals. AICPA Statement of Position 93-1 discusses financial accounting and reporting for high yield debt securities and notes for which, because of the credit risks associated with high yield and distressed debt securities, income recognition must be carefully considered and constantly evaluated for collectibility.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accordingly, when accounting for purchase discounts, management recognizes discount accretion income when it is probable that such amounts will be collected and when such amounts can be estimated. A reclassification entry is recorded to reflect purchase discounts on all realized investments. For income tax purposes, the economic gain resulting from the sale of debt securities purchased at a discount is allocated between interest income and realized gains.

Distributions to Common Limited Interestholders and Common Shareholders

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid by the Partnership to the Company as a dividend is determined by the Partnership’s General Partner, which has provided the Investment Manager with criteria for such distributions, and is generally based upon the estimated taxable earnings of the Company. The amount to be paid by the Company as a distribution to its common shareholders is determined by its Board of Directors, which has provided the Investment Manager with criteria for such distributions and is generally based upon amounts received from the Partnership, less any Company-level expenses and distributions to Series Z Preferred Shareholders. Net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. The Company has distributed $104,800,000 to its shareholders since inception.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the consolidated financial statements. The Partnership’s income or loss is reported in the Partners’ income tax returns. As of June 30, 2008, all tax years of the Company and the Partnership since inception remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. No such examinations are currently pending.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted at year-end for permanent book and tax differences. These adjustments are primarily due to returns of capital, non-deductible expenses and differing treatments for short-term realized gains and certain foreign currency transactions, and have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are primarily attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains and losses on certain investment transactions and the timing of the deductibility of certain expenses, and will reverse in subsequent periods.

Cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the investments of the Partnership at June 30, 2008 were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

93,555,612

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable and accurate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2008, the Company and the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company or the Partnership.

Allocations and Distributions
 
Distributions made to the common shareholders of the Company are based on distributions received from the Partnership, less any Company-level expenses and dividends to Series Z preferred shareholders. As set forth in the Partnership Agreement, distributions made to the Company and the Partnership’s General Partner with respect to any accounting period out of total cumulative investment return are determined as follows:

a)
First, 100% to the Company until the amount distributed to the Company, together with amounts previously distributed to the Company, equals an 8% annual weighted-average return on undistributed capital attributable to the Company;

b)
Second, 100% to the General Partner until the cumulative amount of such distributions equals 25% of all amounts previously distributed to the Company pursuant to clause (a) above; and

c)
All remaining amounts: (i) 80% to the Company and (ii) 20% to the General Partner.

The timing of distributions to the Company is determined by the General Partner, which has provided the Investment Manager with certain criteria for such distributions. The timing of distributions to the common shareholders of the Company is determined by its Board of Directors, which has provided the Investment Manager with certain criteria for such distributions.

Net investment income or loss, realized gain or loss on investments, and appreciation or depreciation on investments for the period is allocated to the Company and the General Partner in a manner consistent with that used to determine distributions.

The Series Z share dividend rate is fixed at 8% per annum.

4.
Management Fees and Other Expenses

Pursuant to the advisory agreements, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive an annual management and advisory fee, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 1.00% of the sum of the maximum amount of the Series A Preferred, the maximum amount available under the Senior Facility, the initial value of the contributed general partnership equity and the initial value of the contributed common equity, subject to reduction by the amount of the Senior Facility commitment when the Senior Facility is no longer outstanding, and by the amount of the Series A Preferred when less than $1 million in liquidation value of preferred securities is outstanding. For purposes of computing the management fee, total capital is approximately $828.8 million, consisting of contributed common equity of approximately $419.0 million, contributed general partnership equity of approximately $9.8 million, $134 million of Series A Preferred and $266 million of debt. In addition, the General Partner is entitled to a performance allocation as discussed in Note 3, above. As compensation for its services, the Co-Manager receives a portion of the management fees paid to the Investment Manager. The Co-Manager also receives a portion of any allocation paid to the General Partner.

Management Fees and Other Expenses (continued)

The Company and the Partnership pay all respective expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Company and the Partnership, including fees and expenses of outside contracted services, such as custodian, administrative, legal, audit and tax preparation fees, costs of valuing investments, insurance costs, brokers’ and finders’ fees relating to investments and any other transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments of the Partnership.

5.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
 
The Partnership has entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders, which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (“Senior Facility”). The Senior Facility is a revolving extendible credit facility pursuant to which amounts may be drawn up to $266 million. The Senior Facility matures July 31, 2014, subject to extension by the lenders at the request of the Partnership for one 12-month period.

Advances under the Senior Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.375% per annum, except in the case of loans from CP Conduits, which bear interest at the higher of LIBOR plus 0.375% or the CP Conduit’s cost of funds plus 0.375%, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, short-term advances under the swingline facility bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 0.375% per annum. In addition to amounts due on outstanding debt, the Senior Facility accrues commitment fees of 0.20% per annum on the unused portion of the Senior Facility, or 0.25% per annum when less than $106,400,000 in borrowings are outstanding.

6.
Commitments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Partnership conducts business with brokers and dealers that are primarily headquartered in New York and Los Angeles and are members of the major securities exchanges. Banking activities are conducted with a firm headquartered in the New York area.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership’s securities activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various securities transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Partnership’s custodian. These activities may expose the Company and the Partnership to risk in the event such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business.

Consistent with standard business practice, the Company and the Partnership enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The maximum exposure of the Company and the Partnership under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company and the Partnership expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Statement of Investments may include certain unfunded or partially funded loan commitments. These commitments are reflected at fair value and may be drawn up to the principal amount shown.

(1)
Not annualized for periods of less than one year.

(2)
Return on invested assets is a time-weighted, geometrically linked rate of return and excludes cash and cash equivalents.

(3)
Returns (net of dividends to preferred limited partners of the Partnership, allocations to General Partner, fund expenses, including financing costs and management fees) are calculated on a monthly geometrically linked, time-weighted basis.

(4)
Annualized for periods of less than one year.

(5)
Net of income and expense allocation to the minority interestholder.

(6)
These ratios include interest expense but do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to preferred limited partners of the Partnership.

(7)
Excludes securities acquired from Special Value Bond Fund II, LLC and Special Value Absolute Return Fund, LLC at the inception of the Company and the Partnership.

(8)
Net of dividends to preferred limited partners of the Partnership, allocation to General Partner and fund expenses, including financing costs and management fees. Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the imputed annual return over an investment period and, mathematically, is the rate of return at which the discounted cash flows equal the initial cash outlays. The internal rate of return presented assumes liquidation of the fund at net asset value as of the balance sheet date, and is reduced by the organizational costs that were expensed at the inception of the Company.

Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)

Approval of Investment Management Agreements
(Unaudited)
 
On April 29, 2008, the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Partnership, including the “non-interested” Directors (the “Independent Directors”), voted to approve the respective Investment Management Agreement and Co-Management Agreement of the Company and the Partnership (each a “Management Agreement” and collectively, the “Management Agreements”) for an additional one-year term.

In considering whether to recommend re-approval of the Management Agreements, the Independent Directors reviewed materials provided by the Investment Manager, the Co-Manager, fund counsel and independent counsel. The Directors also met with senior personnel of the Investment Manager and discussed a number of topics affecting their determination, including the following.

(i) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and Co-Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the services that the Investment Manager and Co-Manager provide to the Company and the Partnership. The Independent Directors noted the comprehensive range of such services and that the Investment Manager had developed reporting, valuation and other procedures that were customized to the specialized natures of the Company and the Partnership, and that the Investment Manager had expertise in administering such procedures. In addition, the Independent Directors considered the size, education, background and experience of the Investment Manager’s and Co-Manager’s staff. They also took into consideration the Investment Manager’s and Co-Manager’s quality of service and noted their longevity in the industry. Lastly, the Independent Directors reviewed the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain quality and experienced personnel. The Independent Directors concluded that the scope of services expected to be provided by the Investment Manager and Co-Manager to the Company and the Partnership and the experience and expertise of the personnel performing such services was consistent with the nature, extent and quality expected of an Investment Manager of investment vehicles such as the Company and the Partnership.

(ii) Investment performance of the Company, the Partnership and the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the past investment performance of the Company and the Partnership and other funds for which the Investment Manager provides investment advisory services, both on an absolute basis and as compared to other funds that had invested in similar investments, as well as general market indices, and the Independent Directors noted that the Company and the Partnership had performed satisfactorily.

(iii) Cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Company and the Partnership. The Independent Directors considered the cost of the services provided by the Investment Manager. As part of their analysis, the Independent Directors gave substantial consideration to the compensation payable to the Investment Manager, the terms of which are summarized in the footnotes to the financial statements included in this report. The Independent Directors also noted the types of expenses for which the Company and the Partnership on the one hand, or the Investment Manager and Co-Manager on the other, are responsible. In reviewing the management compensation, the Independent Directors considered the management fees and operating expense ratios of other registered and non-registered funds managed by the Investment Manager and by other managers that had somewhat comparable investment programs. The Independent Directors also noted that the compensation provisions had been subject to extensive discussion with several of the large institutional investors in the Company and the Partnership.

The Independent Directors also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Company and the Partnership and information on the financial condition of the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors noted that the Investment Manager and Co-Manager and their affiliates did not receive revenues from any other source, such as brokerage commissions or origination fees, in relation to the Company and the Partnership. The Independent Directors found that the profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Company and the Partnership were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Manager’s fiduciary duties. The Independent Directors noted that the Co-Manager was unable to provide the Directors with the information requested on profitability to the Co-Manager of its relationship with the Company and the Partnership. The Independent Directors also found that the Investment Manager and Co-Manager each had the financial resources necessary to continue to carry out their respective functions.

The Independent Directors concluded that the management and performance fees for the Investment Manager and Co-Manager were reasonable.

(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Company and the Partnership grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. In light of the Company’s and the Partnership’s predetermined sizes and policies of distributing all realized income, the Independent Directors determined that the possibility of economies of scale was not relevant with respect to the current structures of the Company and the Partnership and accordingly did not consider whether fee levels would reflect any economies of scale.

In considering the Management Agreements, no single factor was determinative to the decision of the Directors. Rather, after weighing all of the reasons discussed above, the Independent Directors unanimously recommended re-approval of each of the Management Agreements.
