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.
