INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

As of November 30, 2007

Highland Floating Rate Limited Liability Company


 

 

(a)

Senior loans in which the Portfolio invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. (Unless otherwise identified by footnote (f), all senior loans carry a variable rate interest.) These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the certificate of deposit rate. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at November 30, 2007. Senior loans, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior secured floating rate 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 mat be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.

 

 

(b)

All or a portion of this position has not settled. Contract rates do not take effect until settlement date.

 

 

(c)

Represents fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

 

 

(d)

Senior Loan Notes have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of November 30, 2007, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments of $33,432,475 which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements:

Security Valuation:

The value of the Fund’s assets is based on the current market value of its investments. For securities with readily available market quotations, the Fund uses those quotations for pricing. Securities without a sale price or bid and ask quotations on the valuation day will be priced by an independent pricing service. When portfolio securities are traded on the relevant day of valuation, the valuation will be the last reported sale price on that day. If there are no such sales on that day, the security will be valued at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices from principal market makers. If securities do not have readily available market quotations or pricing service prices, including circumstances under which such are determined not to be accurate or current (including when events materially affect the value of securities occurring between the time when market price is determined and calculation of the Fund’s net asset value), such securities are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser, Highland Capital Management, L.P. (“Highland” or the “Investment Adviser”) in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. In these cases, the Fund’s net asset value will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ value as determined in the judgment of the Board of Trustees or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s
