* 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:
