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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2011

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 partner 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.
 
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.  Investment operations commenced and initial funding was received on July 31, 2006.

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.

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.

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.  If the Company or the Partnership has preferred equity interests outstanding, as each currently does, the holders of the preferred 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 the common shares and preferred interests voting together as a single class.

Company Structure

Total capitalization of the consolidated Company is approximately $678.8 million, consisting of approximately $419.0 million of initial contributed common equity, an approximately $9.8 million initial general partner interest (the “GP Interest”) in the Partnership held by SVOF/MM, $134 million of preferred limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Series A Preferred”), and $116 million under a senior secured revolving credit facility issued by the Partnership (the “Senior Facility”).  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 and the Company.  Most of the cash and investments of the Partnership are included in the collateral for the Senior Facility.

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 partner 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 Equity Facility

At September 30, 2011, the Partnership had 6,700 Series A preferred limited partner interests (the “Series A Preferred”) issued and outstanding with a liquidation preference of $20,000 per Preferred Limited Interest. The Series A Preferred are redeemable at the option of the Partnership, subject to certain conditions. 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 September 30, 2011, the Partnership was in full compliance with such requirements.

The Series A Preferred accrue dividends at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.85% or, in the case of any holders of Series A Preferred that are CP Conduits (as defined in the leveraging

documents), the higher of (i) LIBOR plus 0.85% or (ii) the CP Conduit’s cost of funds rate plus 0.85%, subject to certain limitations and adjustments.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company and the Partnership.

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, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

All of the Company’s investments 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 Preferred Limited Interest.  Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment would be sold 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 priced by a nationally recognized pricing service or by using quotations from broker-dealers.  Investments not priced by a pricing service or for which market quotations are either not readily available or are determined to be unreliable are valued by one or more independent valuation services or, for investments aggregating less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Partnership, by the Investment Manager.

Fair valuations of investments are determined under guidelines adopted by the Partnership’s Board of Directors, and are subject to their approval. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing

the Partnership’s investments, 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. The foregoing policies apply to all investments, including those in companies and groups of affiliated companies aggregating more than 5% of the Company’s assets.

Fair valuations of investments in each asset class are determined using one or more methodologies including the market approach, income approach, or, in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate.  The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets.  The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted).  The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that may be taken into account include, as relevant:  available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market and enterprise values, among other factors.

Investments of the Partnership may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in valuing such investments.  The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. Transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

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 investments 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.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Partnership’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral, 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.

Restricted Investments

The Partnership may invest without limitation in instruments that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These instruments generally may be resold to institutional investors in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and additional expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted investments is included at the end of the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Restricted investments, including any restricted investments in affiliates, are valued in accordance with the investment valuation policies discussed above.

Foreign Investments

The Partnership may invest in instruments traded in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies.  At September 30, 2011, the Partnership held foreign currency denominated investments comprising approximately 3.2% of the Partnership’s total investments. Such positions were converted at the closing rate in effect at September 30, 2011 and reported in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investments 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.

Investments in foreign companies and securities of 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 transactions clearance and settlement practices and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Derivatives

In order to mitigate certain currency exchange and interest rate risks, the Partnership has entered into several swap and option 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.  Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in interest rates and the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Gains and losses from derivative transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were included in net realized and unrealized loss on investments in the Statement of Operations as follows:

Instrument
 
Realized
   
Unrealized
 
Cross currency basis swaps
  $ -     $ (112,987 )
Forward currency contracts
    (572,621 )     -  
Currency options
    (430,004 )     266,647  

Valuations of swaps held at September 30, 2011 were determined using observable market inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and, accordingly, may be classified as Level 2 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs of approximately $3.5 million were incurred in connection with placing the Partnership’s Senior Facility. These costs were deferred and are being 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 material to the operations of the Company or the Partnership.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Purchase Discounts

The majority of the Partnership’s high yield and distressed debt investments 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 generally requires that discounts on the acquisition of corporate (investment grade) bonds, municipal bonds and treasury bonds be amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method. However, GAAP also requires the Partnership to consider the collectability of interest when making accruals. Accordingly, when accounting for purchase discounts, the Partnership recognizes discount accretion income when it is probable that such amounts will be collected and when such amounts can be estimated.

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 September 30, 2011, all tax years of the Company and the Partnership since January 1, 2007 remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities.  No such examinations are currently pending. Cost of the investments (including derivatives) and unrealized appreciation/depreciation for U.S. federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2011 were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation
  $ 47,110,228  
Unrealized depreciation
    (136,598,201 )
Net unrealized depreciation
    (89,487,973 )
         
Cost
  $ 483,182,407  

3.  Allocations and Distributions

Common distributions are generally based on the estimated taxable earnings of the Company, and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to the common shareholders of the Company are generally based on distributions received from the Partnership, less any Company-level expenses and dividends to Series Z preferred shareholders.

Net income and gains of the Partnership are distributed first to the Company until it has received an 8% annual weighted-average return on its undistributed contributed equity, and then to the

3.  Allocations and Distributions (continued)

General Partner until it has received 20% of all cumulative income and gain distributions.  80% of all remaining net income and gain distributions are allocated to the Company, with the remaining 20% allocated to the General Partner.  Net investment income or loss, realized gain or loss on investments, and appreciation or depreciation on investments for the period are allocated to the Company and the General Partner in a manner consistent with that used to determine distributions.

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 and amount to be paid by the Company as a distribution to its shareholders are determined by its Board of Directors, which has provided the Investment Manager with criteria for such distributions. Any net long-term capital gains are distributed at least annually.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had declared $184,497,000 in distributions to the common shareholders since inception.

The Company’s Series Z preferred share dividend rate is fixed at 8% per annum.

4.  Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses

The Investment Manager receives an annual management and advisory fee, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 1.0% 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 preference of preferred securities remains outstanding. In addition to the management fee, 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 performance allocation paid to the General Partner.

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 (the “Senior Facility”), pursuant to which amounts may be drawn up to $116 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 0.44% per annum, except in the case of loans from CP Conduits, which bear interest at the higher of LIBOR plus 0.44% or the CP Conduit’s cost of funds plus 0.44%, subject to certain limitations. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2011 was 0.70%. 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 $46.4 million in borrowings are outstanding. The Senior Facility may be terminated, and any outstanding amounts thereunder may become due and payable, should the Partnership fail to satisfy certain financial or other covenants.  As of September 30, 2011, the Partnership was in full compliance with such covenants.

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 investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various 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 that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations.  Management does not anticipate any material 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, and are engaged from time to time in various legal actions.  The maximum exposure of the Company and the Partnership under these arrangements and activities is unknown.  However, the Company and the Partnership expect the risk of material loss to be remote.

7.  Related Parties

The Company, the Partnership, the Investment Manager, the General Partner and their members and affiliates may be considered related parties.  From time to time, the Partnership advances payments to third parties on behalf of the Company which are reimbursable through deductions from distributions to the Company.  At September 30, 2011 the Company had a liability to the Partnership, and the Partnership had a receivable from the Company, in the amount of $60,512, as reflected in the Consolidating Statement of Assets and Liabilities. From time to time, the Investment Manager advances payments to third parties on behalf of the Company and the Partnership and receives reimbursement from the Company and the Partnership.  At September 30, 2011, such reimbursable amounts totaled $56,924, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

8.  Series Z Preferred Capital

The Company issued, at inception, 47 shares of Series Z preferred interests. The Series Z preferred shares had a liquidation preference of $500 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and paid dividends at an annual rate equal to 8% of the liquidation preference. On May 24, 2011, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Series Z preferred shares.

Net of dividends on the preferred equity facility of the Partnership, allocation to the 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 IRR 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.
