EXCELSIOR PRIVATE EQUITY FUND II, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2007

Note
1  Significant Accounting Policies

Excelsior Private Equity Fund II, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 20, 1997, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company or BDC under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The duration of the Company is ten years (subject to two 2-year extensions) from the final subscription closing which occurred on November 19, 1997.

As a BDC, the Company must be primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and making available managerial assistance to companies that
generally do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. The Companys investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation primarily by investing in private later-stage venture capital companies and
private middle-market companies in which the equity is closely held by company founders, management and/or a limited number of institutional investors and, to a lesser extent, privately offered venture capital, buyout and private equity funds
managed by third parties which have attractive investment return prospects and offer compelling strategic benefits to the Company. The Company does not have the right to demand that any such investee securities be registered.

The following is a summary of the Companys significant accounting policies. Such policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States for investment companies and are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The
interim financial data as of January 31, 2007 and for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.



| | (a) | Portfolio valuation:
| | --- | --------------------

The Company
values portfolio securities quarterly and at such other times as, in the Companys Board of Directors (the Board or Board of Directors) view, circumstances warrant. Investments in securities for which market
quotations are readily available generally will be valued at the last sale price on the date of valuation or, if no sale occurred, at the mean of the latest bid and ask prices; provided that, as to such securities that may have legal, contractual or
practical restrictions on transfer, a discount of 10% to 40% from the public market price will be applied. Securities for which no public market exists and other assets will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Managing
Investment Adviser (as defined below) or a committee of the Board of Directors or both under the supervision of the Board of Directors pursuant to certain valuation procedures summarized below. Securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or
less from the date of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

The value for securities for which no public market exists is
difficult to determine. Generally, such investments will be valued on a going concern basis without giving effect to any disposition costs. There is a range of values that is reasonable for such investments at any particular time.
Initially, direct investments are valued based upon their original cost, until developments provide a sufficient basis for use of a valuation other than cost. Upon the occurrence of developments providing a sufficient basis for a change in
valuation, direct investments will be valued by the private market or appraisal methods of valuation. The private market method shall only be used with respect to reliable third party transactions by sophisticated,
independent investors. The appraisal method shall be based upon such factors affecting the investee such as earnings, net worth, reliable private sale prices of the investees securities, the market prices for similar securities of comparable
companies, an assessment of the investees future prospects or, if appropriate, liquidation value. The values for the investments referred to in this paragraph will be estimated regularly by the Managing Investment Adviser or a committee of the
Board of Directors under the supervision of the Board of Directors and, in any event, not less frequently than quarterly. However, there can be no assurance that such values will represent the return that might ultimately be realized by the Company
from the investments.

The valuation of the Companys Private Investment Funds is based upon its pro-rata share of the
value of the net assets of a Private Investment Fund as determined by such Private Investment Fund, in accordance with its partnership agreement, constitutional or other documents governing such valuation, on the valuation date. If such valuation
with respect to the Companys investments in Private Investment Funds is not available by reason of timing or other event on the valuation date, or are deemed to

be unreliable by the Managing Investment Adviser, the Managing Investment Adviser, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, shall determine such
value based on its judgment of fair value on the appropriate date, less applicable charges, if any. The valuation of the Companys Private Investment Funds also includes capital contributions to such Private Investment Funds made in advance of
remaining capital commitments being called by the Private Investment Funds respective general partners. At January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, these contributions paid in advance totaled $1,233,228 and $1,233,228, and are included
in investments on the statement of assets and liabilities. These contributions paid in advance are non-income producing.

At
January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, market quotations were not readily available for securities valued at $23,736,464 or 47.93% of net assets and $25,002,261 or 50.79% of net assets, respectively. Such securities were valued by the
Managing Investment Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Directors. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the
securities existed, and the differences could be material.



| | (b) | Security transactions and investment income:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------

Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
discounts on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.



| | (c) | Repurchase agreements:
| | --- | ----------------------

The Company
enters into agreements to purchase securities and to resell them at a future date. It is the Companys policy to take receipt of securities purchased and to ensure that the market value of the collateral including accrued interest is sufficient
to protect the Company from losses incurred in the event the counterparty does not repurchase the securities. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller
of the security, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited.



| | (d) | Federal income taxes:
| | --- | ---------------------

It is the
policy of the Company to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or
excise tax provision is required.

Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Any net
realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforwards, are distributed to shareholders at least annually subject to certain limitations imposed by complying with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code. Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations that may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent and
may be reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.

The Company has unused capital
loss carryforwards of approximately $57,037,828 available for income tax purposes, to be applied against future net realized gains, if any, after October 31, 2006. If not applied, $8,378,322 of the carryover will expire in 2009, $13,721,422
will expire in 2010, and $18,471,137 will expire in 2011, and $5,855,841 will expire in 2012 and $10,611,106 will expire in 2013.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on the statement of changes in net assets due to tax treatment of certain distributions. No distributions were made in the quarters ended
January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006.

The cost of the Private Investment Funds for federal tax purposes is based on
amounts reported to the Company on Schedule K-1 from the Private Investment Funds. As of January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, the Company had not received information to determine the tax cost of the Private Investment Funds as of
January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, and therefore to determine the Companys unrealized gain or loss on a tax basis. At January 31, 2007, the estimated cost of all other investments for federal tax purposes was $37,621,416,
and those investments had a tax basis net unrealized depreciation of $5,119,409, consisting of gross appreciation of $13 and gross depreciation of $5,119,422. At October 31, 2006, the estimated cost of all other investments for federal tax
purposes was $36,333,255 and those investments had a tax basis net unrealized depreciation of $5,119,409, consisting of gross appreciation of $13 and gross depreciation of $5,119,422.

Note 2  Investment Advisory Fee, Administration Fee and Related Party Transactions

UST Advisers, Inc. (USTA), which has its principal offices at 225 High Ridge Road,
Stamford, Connecticut 06905, is a Delaware corporation and registered investment adviser (the Managing Investment Adviser). The Managing Investment Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United States Trust Company, National Association
(USTC-NA). USTC-NA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Trust Corporation (U.S. Trust), a registered bank holding company, which has its principal offices at 114 West 47thStreet, New York, New York 10036-1532, and which is, in turn, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation (Schwab), which has its
principal offices at 120 Kearney Street, San Francisco, California 94108.

Prior to December 16, 2005, United States Trust Company of
New York, acting through its registered investment advisory division, New York Asset Management Division (NYAMD) and U.S. Trust Company, N.A. acting through its registered investment advisory division, U. S. Trust Asset Management
Division (USTAMD), served as co-investment advisers (together the former Managing Investment Adviser) to the Company under a management agreement with the Company (the Agreement). Effective December 16, 2005,
USTA assumed the duties of NYAMD and USTAMD under the Agreement pursuant to an assumption agreement. Prior to March 31, 2006, USTA was a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Trust Company, N.A. (UST-NA) and UST-NA and United States Trust
Company of New York were wholly-owned subsidiaries of U.S. Trust. Effective March 31, 2006, United States Trust Company of New York converted into a national bank named United States Trust Company, National Association (USTC-NA) and U.S. Trust
Company, N.A. merged into USTC-NA. USTC-NA is the surviving entity and remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Trust. See Note 9.

Under the Agreement, for the services provided, the Managing Investment Adviser is entitled to receive a management fee at the annual rate of 1.50% of the net assets of the Company, determined as of the end of each calendar quarter, that
are invested or committed to be invested in Private Companies or Private Investment Funds and equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of the net assets of the Company, determined as of the end of each calendar quarter, that are invested in short-term
investments and are not committed to Private Companies or Private Investment Funds. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, $121,983 and $133,148, respectively, was payable to the Managing Investment Adviser.

In addition to the management fee, the Company has agreed to pay the Managing Investment Adviser an incentive fee in an amount equal to 20% of the cumulative realized
capital gains (net of realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation) on investments other than Private Investment Funds, less the aggregate amount of incentive fee payments in prior years. If the amount of the incentive fee in any year
is a negative number, or cumulative net realized gains less unrealized capital depreciation at the end of any year is less than such amount calculated at the end of the previous year, the Managing Investment Adviser will be required to repay the
Company all or a portion of the incentive fee previously paid. During the quarters ended January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, respectively, no incentive fee was earned by the Managing Investment Adviser.

PFPC, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of the PNC Financial Services Group, (PFPC) provides administrative and accounting services to the
Company pursuant to an Administration and Accounting Services Agreement. PFPC Trust Company provides custodian services to the Company pursuant to a Custodian Services Agreement. Also, PFPC provides transfer agency services to the Company pursuant
to a Transfer Agency Agreement. For the services provided to the Company by PFPC and its affiliates, PFPC is entitled to an annual fee of 0.02% of average net assets plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses, and a base fee, payable monthly.

The Managing Investment Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive or reimburse other operating expenses of the Company, exclusive of
management fees, to the extent they exceed 0.25% of the Companys average net assets. This reimbursement amounted to $153,144 and $71,611, for the periods ended January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006, respectively.

Each member of the Board of Directors receives a $10,000 annual retainer and the Chairman of the Board receives an additional $1,000 annual retainer.
Also, each member of the Board of Directors will receive $2,000 per quarterly meeting attended. In addition each Board member will receive $500 per quarterly telephonic meeting and $500 for any other telephonic special meeting. For each audit
committee meeting attended, Board members will receive $1,500, while the Chairman of the Audit Committee will receive an additional $1,000 retainer. Each member of the Board is reimbursed for expenses incurred for attending meetings. No person who
is an officer, manager or employee of the U.S. Trust, or its subsidiaries, who serves as an officer, manager or employee of the Company receives any compensation from the Company.

On November 23, 2004, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche, LLP (D&T) as the Companys Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, replacing Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y), the Companys prior independent public accountants. E&Y was terminated by the Company on October 28, 2004 as a
result of concerns regarding their independence at the time of issuance of their report on the Companys October 31, 2003 financial statements. These concerns are the result of certain real estate consulting services performed by E&Y
on a contingent fee basis for Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Companys Managing Investment Adviser.

On January 29, 2007 the Board received a letter from D&T indicating that D&T will no longer
serve as the Companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. On January 29, 2007 the Company engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending
October 31. 2007, replacing the Companys prior Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. This action was taken pursuant to resolutions of the Board, including the directors who are not interested persons as defined in
Section 2(a) (19) of the 1940 Act, acting on the recommendation of its Audit Committee.

On December 16, 2004, Schwab
entered into an agreement with the Company and other funds managed by the former Managing Investment Adviser whereby Schwab has funded a reserve account to be held by the Managing Investment Adviser or its affiliate. This reserve account was
established so that the Company and other funds managed by the Managing Investment Adviser will be able to draw upon it to pay in full all costs incurred related to the termination of E&Y. This agreement was executed in order to ensure that
these costs related to the termination of E&Y are not borne by the Company, the other funds managed by the Managing Investment Adviser or their respective shareholders. Schwab is an affiliate of the Companys Managing Investment Adviser. In
consideration of the funding of the reserve account, the Company and the other funds managed by the Managing Investment Adviser subrogated all of their claims, causes of action and rights against E&Y for payment of these expenses to Schwab.

On November 20, 2006, Schwab announced an agreement to sell U.S. Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schwab, to the Bank of America
Corporation (the Sale). The Sale of U.S. Trust includes all of U.S. Trusts subsidiaries, including UST Advisers, Inc., the Companys Managing Investment Adviser. The Sale is subject to Federal Reserve Board and other
regulatory approvals.

UST Advisers, Inc. will continue to serve as the Managing Investment Adviser to the Company after the Sale. However,
due to the change in ownership of the UST Advisers, Inc., the Sale may have the effect of terminating the existing investment advisory agreement between the Company and UST Advisers, Inc. Accordingly, it is anticipated that UST Advisers, Inc. will
enter into a new investment advisory agreement with the Company upon consummation of the Sale (the New Advisory Agreement). The Board of Directors approved the New Advisory Agreement at its special meeting held on January 11, 2007.
The proposed New Advisory Agreement was submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval and a proxy statement providing further details with respect to the Sale and the proposed New Advisory Agreement was mailed to the shareholders of the
Company on or about February 8, 2007. At the annual shareholder meeting held on March 15, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved the New Advisory Agreement and reelected the current members of the Board of Directors.

Note 5  Pending Litigation

The former Managing Investment Adviser was contacted in September 2003 by the Office of the New York State Attorney General (the NYAG), and
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in connection with their investigations of practices in the mutual fund industry identified as market timing and late trading of mutual fund shares (the
Investigations). The former Managing Investment Adviser has provided full cooperation with respect to these Investigations and continues to review the facts and circumstances relevant to the Investigations. As disclosed previously, these
investigations focused on circumstances in which a small number of parties were permitted to engage in short-term trading of shares of certain mutual funds managed by the former Managing Investment Adviser. The short-term trading activities
permitted under these arrangements have been terminated and the former Managing Investment Adviser has strengthened its policies and procedures to deter frequent trading.

The former Managing Investment Adviser, certain of its affiliates and others have also been named in four class action lawsuits and two derivative actions which allege that the former Managing Investment Adviser,
certain of its affiliates and others allowed certain parties to engage in illegal and improper mutual fund trading practices, which allegedly caused financial injury to the shareholders of certain mutual funds managed by the former Managing
Investment Adviser. Each seeks unspecified monetary damages and related equitable relief.

The class and derivative actions described above
were transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated and consolidated pre-trial proceedings. In November 2005, the Maryland court dismissed many of the plaintiffs claims in both the fund shareholder
class action and derivative lawsuits. Several affiliates of the former Managing Investment Adviser and individual defendants have also been dismissed. Plaintiffs claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and under Section 36(b) and 48(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, however, have not been dismissed. Discovery has commenced with respect to plaintiffs remaining claims.

While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time, based on currently available information and
consultation with counsel, the Managing Investment Adviser believes that the pending Investigations and private lawsuits are not likely to materially affect the Managing Investment Advisers ability to provide investment management services to
the Company. Neither the Managing Investment Adviser nor the Company are a subject of the Investigations nor a party to the lawsuits described above.

Note 6  Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide general
indemnifications. The Companys maximum exposure under these agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Company, and therefore cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is
considered remote.

Note 7  New Accounting Pronouncement

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an
interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the adoption of FIN 48 on the financial statements.

FASB issued a Statement No. 157 in September 2006, Fair Value Measurements, which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. This statement provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It clarifies fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The
company is reviewing the statement and its impact on the financial statements.

Note 8  Liquidity and Potential Sale Transaction

In September 2006, the Company commenced and currently continues a process which may result in the sale of substantially all its
assets (a Potential Sale Transaction). There is no assurance that the Company will enter into a Potential Sale Transaction, or if such transaction does occur, what the proceeds will be or the timing of the consummation of a Potential
Sale Transaction. Any such transaction would be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company.

Note
9  Subsequent Event

On November 20, 2006, Schwab announced an agreement to sell U.S. Trust, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Schwab, to the Bank of America Corporation (the Sale). The Sale of U.S. Trust includes all of U.S. Trusts subsidiaries, including UST Advisers, Inc., the Companys Managing Investment Adviser. The Sale is subject
to Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory approvals.

UST Advisers, Inc. will continue to serve as the Managing Investment Adviser to
the Company after the Sale. However, due to the change in ownership of the UST Advisers, Inc., the Sale may have the effect of terminating the existing investment advisory agreement between the Company and UST Advisers, Inc. Accordingly, it is
anticipated that UST Advisers, Inc. will enter into a new investment advisory agreement with the Company upon consummation of the Sale (the New Advisory Agreement). The Board of Directors approved the New Advisory Agreement at its
special meeting held on January 11, 2007. The proposed New Advisory Agreement was submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval and a proxy statement providing further details with respect to the Sale and the proposed New Advisory
Agreement was mailed to the shareholders of the Company on or about February 8, 2007. At the annual shareholder meeting held on March 15, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved the New Advisory Agreement and reelected the current
members of the Board of Directors.

Three-month Period Ended January 31, 2007 as Compared to the Similar Period in 2006

Realized and Unrealized
Gains and Losses from Portfolio Investments

For the three-month periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a net
realized loss/gain on security transactions of $705,850 and ($1,744), respectively. For the three-month periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a net (increase)/decrease in unrealized (depreciation) on investments of ($608,889)
and ($189,366), respectively. The net realized loss for the period ended January 31, 2007 was primarily the result of distribution received from the Companys private investment funds. The net realized loss for the period ended
January 31, 2006 was primarily the result of the sale of stock received as a result of a distributions from one of the Companys private investment funds, Sevin Rosen VI, LP.

The net change in unrealized depreciation for the period ended January 31, 2007 was the result of a decrease in the valuation of the private
investment funds. The net change in unrealized depreciation for the period ended January 31, 2006 was the result of a decrease in the valuation of the private investment funds.

Investment Income and Expenses

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, the Company had investment income of $347,879 and net operating expenses, net of expenses reimbursed by the Managing Investment Adviser (as defined below), of
$152,843, resulting in a net investment income of $195,036. In comparison, the Company had investment income of $170,256 and net operating expenses, net of expenses reimbursed by the Managing Investment Adviser of $161,483, resulting in net
investment income of $8,773 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2006. There was an increase in investment income during the period ended January 31, 2007 in comparison to investment income earned during the period ended
January 31, 2006 due to an increase in interest income paid by short-term securities and the additional purchase of interest bearing affiliated investments held by the Company. Also, the reimbursement of expense increased as a result of higher
expense level.

USTA provides investment management and administrative services required for the operation of the Company. In consideration
of the services rendered by the Managing Investment Adviser, the Company pays a management fee based upon a percentage of the net assets of the Company invested or committed to be invested in certain types of investments and an incentive fee based
in part on a percentage of realized capital gains of the Company. Such management fee is determined and payable quarterly.

For the
three-month periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Managing Investment Adviser and the former Managing Investment Adviser earned $121,983 and $133,004 in management fees, respectively. In addition, for the three-month periods ended
January 31, 2007 and 2006, the change in allowance for the management incentive fee was $0 and $0, respectively. The Managing Investment Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive or reimburse other operating expenses of the Company, exclusive of
management fees, to the extent they exceed 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the Companys average net assets. For the three-month periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Managing Investment Adviser and the former Managing Investment
Adviser reimbursed other operating expenses of the Company in the amounts of $153,144 and $71,611, respectively, as a result of expenses incurred in excess of these limits.

Net Assets

At January 31, 2007, the Companys net assets were $49,521,601 or a net asset
value per common share of $253.01 This represents an increase of $291,997 from net assets of $49,229,604, or a net asset value per common share of $251.52, at October 31, 2006. The decrease in net assets during the period is principally due to
the i) the net change in unrealized depreciation of ($608,889) on investments as described above, ii) net realized gain on investments of $705,850 as described above and iii) net investment gain of $195,036 as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has
focused its investments in the private equity securities of expansion and later- stage venture capital companies and middle-market companies that the Company believes offer significant long-term capital appreciation. The Company may offer managerial
assistance to certain of these companies. The Company invests its available cash in short-term investments of marketable securities pending distributions to shareholders or to provide the liquidity necessary to make portfolio investments as
investment opportunities arise.

At January 31, 2007, the Company held $30,689 in cash and $25,081,982 in short-term investments as
compared to $3,843 in cash and $23,793,821 in short-term investments at October 31, 2006. The increase in cash and short-term investments during the period is the result of distributions received in the form of both cash and stock from its
private investment funds during the period ended January 31, 2007. Proceeds from the distributions totaled $1,378,373. In connection with the Companys commitments to private investment funds, a total of $58,250,000 has been contributed by
the Company through January 31, 2007. The Company has no additional capital commitment obligations, with the exception of recallable distributions to the private funds it has invested in. The Company contributed $15,615, which is a recallable
distribution from Friedman Fleisher and Lowe, L.P, during the three-month period ended January 31, 2007.

The Company believes that
its liquidity and capital resources are adequate to satisfy its operational needs.

In September 2006, the Company commenced and currently
continues a process which may result in the sale of substantially all its assets (a Potential Sale Transaction). There is no assurance that the Company will enter into a Potential Sale Transaction, or if such transaction does occur, what
the proceeds will be or the timing of the consummation of a Potential Sale Transaction. Any such transaction would be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Under the supervision of the Companys Valuation and Audit Committees, consisting of the independent directors of the Company, the Managing
Investment Adviser makes certain critical accounting estimates with respect to the valuation of private portfolio investments. These estimates could have a material impact on the presentation of the Companys financial condition because in
total, they currently represent 48.19% of the Companys net assets at January 31, 2007. For the private investments held at January 31, 2007, changes to these estimates, i.e. changes in the valuations of these private investments,
resulted in a $0.6 million decrease in net asset value.

The value for securities for which no public market exists is difficult to
determine. Generally speaking, such investments will be valued on a going concern basis without giving effect to any disposition costs. There is a range of values that is reasonable for such investments at any particular time. Because of
the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

Initially, direct private company investments are valued based upon their original cost until developments provide a sufficient basis for use of a
valuation other than cost. Upon the occurrence of developments providing a sufficient basis for a change in valuation, direct private company investments will be valued by the private market or appraisal methods of valuation.
The private market method shall only be used with respect to reliable third party transactions by sophisticated, independent investors. The appraisal method shall be based upon such factors affecting the company such as earnings, net worth, reliable
private sale prices of the companys securities, the market prices for similar securities of comparable companies, an assessment of the companys future prospects or, if appropriate, liquidation value. The values for the investments
referred to in this paragraph will be estimated regularly by the Managing Investment Adviser or a committee of the Board, both under the supervision of the Board, and, in any event, not less frequently than quarterly. However, there can be no
assurance that such value will represent the return that might ultimately be realized by the Company from the investments.

The valuation
of the Companys private funds is based upon its pro-rata share of the value of the assets of a private fund as determined by such private fund, in accordance with its partnership agreement, constitutional or other documents governing such
valuation, on the valuation date. If such valuation with respect to the Companys investments in private funds is not available by reason of timing or other event on the valuation date, or are deemed to be unreliable by the Managing Investment
Adviser, the Managing Investment Adviser, under supervision of the Board, shall determine such value based on its judgment of fair value on the appropriate date, less applicable charges, if any.

The Managing Investment Adviser also makes estimates regarding discounts on market prices of publicly traded securities where appropriate. For
securities which have legal, contractual or practical restrictions on transfer, a discount of 10% to 40% from the public market price will be applied.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Equity Price Risk

A majority of the Companys investment portfolio consists of equity securities in private companies
and private investment funds, representing 48.19% of the Companys net assets, which are not publicly traded. These investments are recorded at fair value as determined by the Managing Investment Adviser in accordance with valuation guidelines
adopted by the Board of Directors. This method of valuation does not result in increases or decreases in the fair value of these equity securities in response to changes in market prices. Thus, these equity securities are not subject to equity price
risk normally associated with public equity markets. At January 31, 2007 and at October 31, 2006, the Company was not subject to equity price risk normally associated with public equity markets, except to the extent that the private
investment funds that the Company has invested in has, from time to time, interests in securities which may be publicly traded.
