Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2012

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

TCP Capital Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on April 2, 2012 as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s investment objective is to achieve high total returns while minimizing losses. The Company invests primarily in the debt of middle-market companies, including senior secured loans, junior loans, mezzanine debt and bonds. Such investments may include an equity component, and, to a lesser extent, the Company may make equity investments directly. Investment operations are conducted in 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 has also elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. 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 Company was formed through the conversion of the Company’s predecessor, Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC (“SVCF”), from a limited liability company to a corporation, leaving the Company as the surviving entity (the “Conversion”). At the time of the Conversion, all limited liability company interests were exchanged for 15,725,635 shares of common stock in the Company. As a result of the Conversion, the books and records of SVCF have become the books and records of the surviving entity. For periods prior to April 2, 2012, the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes reflect the performance of SVCF.

On April 3, 2012, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “Offering”), selling 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $14.75 per share.

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 General Partner of the Partnership is SVOF/MM, LLC (“SVOF/MM”), which also serves as the administrator of the Company and the Partnership. The managing member of SVOF/MM is Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”), which serves as the Investment Manager to both the Company and the Partnership. Most of the equity interests in the General Partner are owned directly or indirectly by TCP and its employees.

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. Each Board of Directors consists of three persons, two of whom are independent. The Company will appoint an additional independent director prior to April 3, 2013. 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 are 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.

Preferred Equity

At June 30, 2012, the Partnership had 6,700 Series A preferred limited partner interests (the “Preferred Interests”) issued and outstanding with a liquidation preference of $20,000 per preferred limited interest. The Preferred Interests 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 Preferred Interests 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 Preferred Interests or a failure by the Partnership to maintain sufficient asset coverage as required by the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2012, the Partnership was in full compliance with such requirements.

The Preferred Interests accrue dividends at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.85% or, in the case of any holders of Preferred Interests 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment Valuation

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, as defined in Note 4, below, and Statement of Preferences for the Preferred Interests. 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.

All investments are valued at least quarterly based on affirmative pricing or quotations from independent third-party sources, with the exception of investments priced directly by the Investment Manager which together comprise, in total, less than 5% of the capitalization of the Partnership. 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 using prices provided 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 using affirmative valuations performed by independent valuation services or, for investments aggregating less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Partnership, directly 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.

TCP Capital Corp.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2012

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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, 2. cash flows or earnings) to a single present value 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.

The ranges of unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2012 were as follows:

EBITDA Multiples	3.8x to 10.0x
Market Yields	5.2% to 16.6%

Significant increases or decreases in any of the above inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

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.

At June 30, 2012, the investments of the Partnership were categorized as follows:

Level		Basis for Determining Fair Value	Bank Debt		Other Corporate Debt		Equity Securities
	1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets	$	-	$	3,540,765	$	1,616,692
	2	Other observable market inputs*		33,223,044		77,906,720		-

	Total		$	284,860,944	$	96,285,168	$	71,172,225

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 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.

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 June 30, 2012, the Partnership held foreign currency denominated investments comprising approximately 2.3% of the Partnership’s total investments. Such positions were converted at the closing rate in effect at June 30, 2012 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

Derivatives

In order to mitigate certain currency exchange and interest rate risks, the Partnership has entered into several swap, forward currency 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 were included in net realized and unrealized loss on investments in the Statement of Operations as follows:

Instrument		Realized				Unrealized
Cross currency basis swaps		$	-			$	265,488

Valuations of swaps held at June 30, 2012 were determined using observable market inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs of approximately $3.5 million were incurred during 2006 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.

Revenue Recognition

Interest and dividend income, including income paid in kind, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees earned with respect to capital commitments are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income received upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are included in interest income.

Certain of the Partnership’s 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 bonds, municipal bonds and treasury bonds be amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method. 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.

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, 2012, 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid $502,978 in excise taxes related to income earned in 2011.

Cost of the investments (including derivatives) of the Partnership, unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation for U.S. federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2012 were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation	$	38,370,081
Unrealized depreciation		(137,933,302	)
Net unrealized depreciation		(99,563,221	)

Cost	$	552,319,470

New Accounting Guidance

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 was issued to converge guidance from the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The changes include a consistent definition of the term “fair value” and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, such as additional quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the unobservable inputs. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 were effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 resulted in increased disclosures around fair value but did not impact the measurement of fair value of the Company’s investments.

3. Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses

Following the Conversion, the Company’s management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) on a consolidated basis and is payable to the Investment Manager quarterly in arrears.

The Company will not incur any incentive compensation until after January 1, 2013. Thereafter, the incentive compensation will equal 20% of net investment income (reduced by preferred dividends) and realized gains (net of any realized and unrealized losses). However, incentive compensation will only be paid to the extent the total performance of the Company exceeds a cumulative 8% annual return since January 1, 2013. The incentive compensation will be payable to the General Partner quarterly in arrears and will be calculated as the difference between cumulative incentive compensation earned since January 1, 2013 and cumulative incentive compensation paid since January 1, 2013.

3. Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses (continued)

Prior to the Conversion, the Investment Manager received an annual management and advisory fee, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 1.0% of the sum of the maximum amount of the Preferred Interests, 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 Preferred Interests when less than $1 million in liquidation preference of preferred securities remains outstanding. In addition to the management fee, the General Partner was entitled to a performance allocation equal to 20% of all cumulative income and gain distributions, subject to an 8% hurdle on undistributed contributed equity with a catch up for 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.

4. 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 June 30, 2012 was 0.69%. 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 June 30, 2012, the Partnership was in full compliance with such covenants.

5. 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.

The Consolidated Statement of Investments includes certain revolving loan facilities held by the Partnership with aggregate unfunded balances of $720,556 at June 30, 2012.

6. 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 June 30, 2012, the Company had a payable to the Partnership, and the Partnership had a receivable from the Company, in the amount of $1,292, 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 June 30, 2012, amounts reimbursable to the Investment Manager totaled $2,031,096, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Overview

TCP Capital Corp. (“TCPC” and together with its subsidiary, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on April 2, 2012 and is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. TCPC has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s investment objective is to achieve high total returns while minimizing losses. The Company invests primarily in the debt of middle-market companies, including senior secured loans, junior loans, mezzanine debt and bonds. Such investments may include an equity component, and, to a lesser extent, the Company may make equity investments directly. Investment operations are conducted in 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 has also elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The General Partner of the Partnership is SVOF/MM, LLC (“SVOF/MM”), which also serves as the administrator (“Administrator”) of the Company and the Partnership. The managing member of SVOF/MM is Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP” or the “Advisor”), which serves as the investment manager to both the Company and the Partnership. Most of the equity interests in the General Partner are owned directly or indirectly by TCP and its employees.

TCPC has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, TCPC 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.

On April 2, 2012, Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC (“SVCF”) converted from a limited liability company to a corporation, leaving TCPC as the surviving entity (the “Conversion”). At the time of the Conversion, all limited liability company interests were exchanged for 15,725,635 shares of common stock in TCPC. As a result of the Conversion, the books and records of SVCF have become the books and records of the surviving entity and the Partnership became a wholly owned subsidiary of TCPC.

On April 3, 2012, TCPC priced its initial public offering (the “Offering”), selling 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $14.75 per share.

To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for each year. Pursuant to this election, we generally will not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders provided that we satisfy those requirements.

Investments

Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies, public U.S. operating companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, public domestic operating companies having a market capitalization of less than $250 million, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We are also permitted to make certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but that no longer meet the definition.

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest on the debt we hold. We also generate revenue from dividends on our equity interests and capital gains on the sale of warrants and other debt or equity interests that we acquire. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of three to five years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity. Interest on our debt investments is generally payable quarterly or semi-annually. Payments of principal of our debt investments may be amortized over the stated term of the investment, deferred for several years or due entirely at maturity. In some cases, our debt investments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of cash interest or dividends or PIK. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of prepayment fees, commitment, origination, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance, consulting fees and other investment related income.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee and, depending on our operating results, incentive compensation, expenses reimbursable under the management agreement, administration fees and the allocable portion of overhead under the administration agreement. The base management fee and incentive compensation remunerates the Advisor for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our administration agreement with SVOF/MM, LLC (the “Administrator”) provides that the Administrator may be reimbursed for costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to us under the administration agreement, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator or its affiliates relating to any non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by the Administrator or its affiliates to us. We also bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions (and TCPC’s common stockholders indirectly bear all of the costs and expenses of TCPC and the Partnership), which may include those relating to:

our organization;

calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firms);

interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;

costs of future offerings of our common stock and other securities, if any;
