See Notes to Condensed Financial Statements   VENTURE LENDING & LEASING IV, INC.  NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)  1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE FUND Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc., (the Fund), was incorporated in Maryland on October 31, 2003 as a nondiversified closed-end management investment company electing status as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is managed by Westech Investment Advisors, Inc. (Manager or Management).  One hundred percent of the stock of the Fund is held by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (the Company).  Prior to commencing its operations on May 28, 2004, the Fund had no operations other than the sale to the Company of 100,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value for $25,000 in November 2003.  This issuance of stock was a requirement in order to apply for a finance lender's license from the California Commissioner of Corporations.  In the Manager's opinion, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for interim periods.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted; however, the Fund believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of what the results would be for a full year.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Funds Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interest Income Interest income on loans is recognized using the effective interest method including amounts from the amortization of discounts resulting from the allocation of amounts ascribed to equity securities received as part of the loan transaction.  Additionally, fees received as part of the transaction are added to the loan discount and amortized over the life of the loan.  Valuation Procedures  The Fund accounts for loans at fair value in accordance with the Valuation Methods below.  All valuations are determined under the direction of the Manager, in accordance with this Policy.  The Funds loans are valued in connection with the issuance of its periodic financial statements, the issuance or repurchase of the Funds shares at a price equivalent to the current net asset value per share, and at such other times as required by law.  On a quarterly basis, Management will submit to the Board of Directors (Board) a Valuation Report, which details the rationale for the valuation of investments.  Valuation Methods At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the financial statements include nonmarketable investments ($176,903,410 and $225,801,890 or approximately 81% and 80% of total assets, respectively), with fair values determined by the Manager in the absence of readily determinable market values.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of these valuations, estimated fair values of such investments 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.   Below is the information used by the Manager in making these estimates. Venture loans are generally held to maturity as there is no secondary market for the loans and are recorded at estimated fair value.  Management determines whether to adjust the estimated fair value of a loan based on a credit analysis of the borrower, which generally includes consideration of several factors, including but not limited to the borrowers payment history, available cash and burn rate, revenues, net income or loss, the likelihood that the borrower will be able to secure additional financing in the future, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment.  The amount of any valuation adjustment is determined based upon an analysis of the expected recovery from the borrower, including consideration of factors such as the nature and quality of the Funds security interests in collateral, the estimated value of the Funds collateral, the size of the loan, and the estimated time that will elapse before the Fund achieves a recovery. Money market funds and debt instruments held as Cash and Cash Equivalents are valued at their most recently posted net asset value, if available, or at amortized cost, provided such amount is not materially different from quoted price. Debt securities held as Short-term Investments are valued based on current bid quotations of recognized dealers or, when market quotations are not readily available, based on appraisals received from a pricing service using a computerized matrix system, or based upon appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in the securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, debt securities with remaining maturities of ninety (90) days or fewer generally are valued by amortizing the difference between their last available fair value and their par value provided such amount is not materially different from quoted price.  As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Fund held no short-term investments. Warrants and Stock Warrants and stock that are received in connection with loan transactions generally will be assigned a fair value at the time of acquisition.  These securities are then distributed by the Fund to the Company at the assigned value.  Warrants are valued based on a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account underlying stock value, expected term, volatility, risk-free interest rate, among other factors.  Warrants are typically distributed immediately upon receipt to the Company. Nonaccrual Loans The Funds policy is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when the loan stops performing and management deems that it is unlikely that the loan will return to performing status.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed for the quarter in which the loan was placed on nonaccrual status.  Any uncollected interest related to quarters prior to when the loan was placed on nonaccrual status is added to the principal balance, and the aggregate balance of the principal and interest is evaluated in accordance with the policy for valuation of loans. Interest received by the Fund on nonaccrual loans will be recorded on a cash basis. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, loans with a cost basis of $29.0 million and $19.7 million and a fair value of $12.5 million and $8.6 million, respectively, have been classified as nonaccrual. Commitment Fees Unearned income and commitment fees on loans are recognized using the effective interest method over the term of the loan.  Commitment fees are carried as liabilities when received for commitments upon which no draws have been made.  When the first draw is made, the fee is treated as unearned income and is recognized as described above.  If a draw is never made, the commitment fee less any applicable legal costs becomes recognized as other income after the commitment expires.





Interest Rate Swap Agreement The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended by SFAS No. 138, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.  For investment companies such as the Fund, SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivatives fair value be recognized currently in earnings. The Fund entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its interest rate on its borrowings under its debt facility. Unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities have been separately reported from unrealized gains and losses from investment activities and are included in realized and unrealized gain (loss) from hedging activities in these financial statements.  Also included in realized and unrealized gain (loss) from hedging activities is the net interest received or paid on the interest rate swap transactions beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (amounts were previously included in interest expense and were not considered material). The fair value of the interest rate swap is recorded in other liabilities.  The valuation of the swap agreement is based on future expected interest rates on the notional principal balance remaining which is comparable to what a prospective acquirer would pay on the measurement date. Deferred Bank Fees Through March 2009, the deferred bank fees and costs associated with the debt facility had been allocated over the estimated life of the facility, which was determined to be June 2009 (See Note 6). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133(SFAS 161). SFAS No. 161 requires entities with derivative instruments to provide enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit risk related contingent features in derivative agreements.  The required information is intended to provide financial statement users an enhanced understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133) and how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  This statement is effective for the Fund in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Funds financial statements. In April 2009, FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (SFAS 157-4).This FASB Staff Position (FSP) provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of FSP SFAS No. 157-4 will have on the Funds financial statements.





Tax Status The Fund plans on qualifying as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) and elected RIC treatment when it filed its 2007 tax return.  As long as the Fund qualifies as a RIC, it will not pay any federal or state corporate income tax on income that is distributed to its shareholder (pass-through status).  Should the Fund not qualify as a RIC or lose its qualification as a RIC, it could be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for that year (even if that income is distributed to its shareholder), and all distributions out of its earnings and profits will be taxable to its shareholder as ordinary income.  As of March 31, 2009, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions. The Fund's tax years open to examination by major jurisdictions are 2004 and forward.  3. SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS Loans generally are made to borrowers pursuant to commitments whereby the Fund agrees to finance assets and provide working capital up to a specified amount for the term of the commitments, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified by such commitment.  As of March 31, 2009, the Fund's investments in loans are primarily to companies based within the United States and are diversified among borrowers in the industries shown below.  The percentage of net assets that each industry group represents is shown with the industry totals below.  (The sum of the percentages does not equal 100 percent because the percentages are based on net assets as opposed to total loans).  Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted SFAS 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability was exchanged in an orderly transaction; it was not a forced liquidation or distressed sale.  Loan balances are summarized by borrower.  Typically a borrower's balance will be composed of several loans drawn under a commitment made by the Fund with the interest rate on each loan fixed at the time each loan is funded.  Each loan drawn under a commitment has a different maturity date and amount.  For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on performing loans was 14.82% and 14.62%, respectively.  Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including volatility, early payoffs, and recovery of interest from non-performing assets.

These loans have been accelerated from original maturity and are due in their entirety. During the period for which these loans have been on non-accrual status, no interest income has been recognized.  The Fund provides asset-based financing primarily to start-up and emerging growth venture-capital-backed companies.  These loans are generally secured by assets of the borrowers.  As a result, the Fund is subject to general





credit risk associated with such companies.  At March 31, 2009, the Fund had unexpired unfunded commitments to borrowers of $6.5 million.   Valuation Hierarchy  Under SFAS 157, the Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Funds valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:  Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.Level 2Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.Level 3Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.   The Fund uses estimated exit values when determining the value of its investments.  Because these transactions are individually negotiated and unique, and there is no market in which these assets trade, the inputs for these assets, which are discussed in the Valuation Methods listed above, are classified as Level 3.  The Funds derivative was valued using pricing models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry with inputs that can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data.  These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and market observable inputs such as yield and option volatility. As a result, these measurements are classified as Level 2.  The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:  As of March 31, 2009Level 1Level 2Level 3TotalASSETS:Loans to borrowers$              -$              -$  176,903,410$   176,903,410Cash equivalents39,788,503--39,788,503Total assets$ 39,788,503$              -$  176,903,410$   216,691,913LIABILITIES:Interest rate swap agreement$              -$      491,289$                -$         491,289Total liabilities$              -$      491,289$                -$         491,289As of December 31, 2008Level 1Level 2Level 3TotalASSETS:Loans to borrowers$              -$              -$  225,801,890$   225,801,890Cash equivalents53,634,366--53,634,366Total assets$ 53,634,366$              -$  225,801,890$   279,436,256

EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of potential common shares (e.g., stock options).  The Fund has no instruments that would be potential common shares; thus, reported basic and diluted earnings per share are the same. 5. CAPITAL STOCK As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, and 100,000 shares issued and outstanding.  Total committed capital of the Company is $250.0 million.  Total contributed capital to the Company as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $245.0 million. The chart below shows the distributions of the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

During the quarter, the Fund made distributions as noted in the table above.  Final classification of the distributions as either a return of capital or a distribution of income is an annual determination made at the end of each year dependent upon the Funds current year and cumulative earnings and profits. 6. DEBT FACILITY During the quarter, the Fund reduced the size of its debt facility to finance the acquisition of asset-based loans from $69.0 million to $33.0 million.  As of March 31, 2009, the Fund had $33.0 million of outstanding loans under this facility.  The interest rate on this facility is Prime plus 4.00 percent, which on March 31, 2009, was 7.25 percent per year.  Effective January 2009, no further draws can be made on this facility. The facility was renewed on October 14, 2008.  As part of this renewal, the Fund paid a renewal fee of $0.3 million to Société Générale, who assumed the entire facility.  Also, in light of the downgrade of Ambac Assurance Corporation from an Aaa to an "Aa3" rating, Société Générale has reduced the required credit rating for the facility's insurer from Aa2 to Aa3.  Additionally, as part of this renewal, the program termination date has been modified from May 2009 to January 2009 and the maturity date has been modified to November 2009.  The Manager believes the change of the termination date, maturity date, and the increased pricing are not expected to have a material impact on the operations of the Fund. On November 5, 2008, Moodys lowered Ambacs financial strength rating to Baa1 from Aa3.  This rating downgrade constitutes a specified event of default under the loan agreement.  The Program Agent has increased the interest rate on the loans to Prime plus 400 basis points, but other than the increase in interest rate has not taken any action in response to the downgrade. If it takes other action, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to renegotiate the facility with the Program Agent on acceptable terms, or be able to secure acceptable alternative financing arrangements.  The Program Agent could, as a result of the rating downgrade, require the Fund to repay its loan more quickly than if the rating downgrade to Ambac had not taken place.  As a result of this amendment, management changed its estimated life of the facility to June 2009, and started reamortizing the costs associated with the facility over the revised useful life, commencing October 2008. Over the next three months, expected cash flows from the repayment of loans is expected to be more than sufficient to repay the facility in full.  Now that the program termination date has been reached, the loan amortizes until fully repaid. It is anticipated that the Fund will pay the facility off completely by June 2009. The first draw against this direct financial obligation of the Fund took place in October 2004.  Both the bank fees and legal costs associated with this facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the expected life of the facility. 7. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of financial highlights of the Fund for the periods presented, the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  The total rate of return is defined as the return based on the change in value during the period of a theoretical investment made at the beginning of the period.  The total rate of return assumes a constant rate of return for the Fund during the period reported and weights each cash flow by the amount of time held in the Fund.  This required methodology differs from an internal rate of return. The ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, calculated below, are annualized and are computed based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented.  Net investment income is inclusive of all investment income net of expenses, and excludes realized or unrealized gains and losses.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws.  These forward-looking statements reflect the current view of Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc. (the Fund) with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Funds control.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this report, regarding strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of the Fund are forward-looking statements.  When used in this report, the words will, believe, anticipate, intend, estimate, expect, project and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report.  The Fund does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  General  The Fund is 100% owned by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (the Company).  The Fund's shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value were sold to its shareholder under a stock purchase agreement.  The Fund has issued 100,000 of the Funds 10,000,000 authorized shares.  The Fund's shareholder may make additional capital contributions to the Fund.  In addition to the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain





forward-looking statements.  The reader of this Quarterly Report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome.  The Fund's actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments and competition.  This entire Quarterly Report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context and to gain a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the Fund's business.   Overview  The Fund is a financial services company primarily providing financing and advisory services to a variety of carefully selected venture-backed companies primarily located throughout the United States with a focus on growth oriented companies.  The Funds portfolio is well diversified and consists of companies in the communications, information services, media, and technology, including software and technology-enabled business services, bio-technology, and medical devices industry sectors, among others.  The Funds capital is generally used by our portfolio companies to finance acquisitions of fixed assets and/or for working capital.  On May 28, 2004, the Fund completed its first closing of capital, made its first investments, and became a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Fund elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of its federal corporate income tax return for 2004.  Pursuant to this election, the Fund generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income it distributes to the stockholder as dividends, allowing the Funds shareholder to substantially reduce or eliminate its corporate-level tax liability.  The Fund will seek to meet the ongoing requirements, including the diversification requirements, to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) under the Internal Revenue Code.  If the Fund fails to meet these requirements, it will be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for that year (even if that income is distributed to the Company) and all distributions out of its earnings and profits will be taxable to the Members of the Company as ordinary income; thus, such income will be subject to a double layer of tax.  There is no assurance that the Fund will meet the ongoing requirements to qualify as a RIC for tax purposes.  The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high total return.  The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by providing debt financing to portfolio companies.  Since inception, the Fund's investing activities have focused primarily on private debt securities.  The Fund generally receives warrants to acquire equity securities in connection with its portfolio investments.  The Fund generally distributes these warrants to its shareholder upon receipt.  The Fund also has guidelines for the percentages of total assets which will be invested in different types of assets.  The portfolio investments of the Fund consist of debt financing to early and late stage venture capital backed technology companies.  The borrowers ability to repay its loans may be adversely impacted by a number of factors, and as a result, the loan may not fully be repaid.  Furthermore, the Funds security interest in any collateral over the borrowers assets may be insufficient to make up any shortfall in payments.  Critical Accounting Policies We identified the most critical accounting principles upon which our financial statements depend and determined the critical accounting principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.  The two critical accounting policies  relate to the valuation of loans and treatment of non-accrual loans.  Performing loans are held at estimated fair value as determined by management, in accordance with the valuation methods described in the valuation of loans section of footnote 2 of the Funds Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).  Critical factors in determining the fair value of a loan include payment history, collateral position, financial strength of the borrower, prospects for the





borrower's raising future equity rounds, likelihood of sale or acquisition of the borrower, and length of expected holding period of the loan, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment.  The actual value of the loans may differ from management's estimates which would affect net income as well as assets. Results of Operations For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008  Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $7.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively, of which $7.1 million and $12.8 million, respectively, consisted of interest on venture loans outstanding during the period.  The remaining income consisted of interest and dividends on the temporary investment of cash, the forfeiture of deposits from prospective borrowers, late fees from borrowers, other income from commitment fees, warrants received for loans that will never be funded, and incentive fees received on a certain loan.   The decrease in investment income is caused mainly by the decline in performing loans from $368.2 million as of December 31, 2007, to $326.0 million as of March 31, 2008, to $217.2 million as of December 31, 2008 and to $164.4 million as of March 31, 2009.  This was partially offset by increasing interest rates, as average interest rates increased from 14.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 14.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including volatility, early payoffs, and recovery of interest from non-performing assets. Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Management fees are based on assets under management, and decreased due to the decrease in assets under management relative to the previous year.  Total interest expense was $1.2 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense decreased for the period because average borrowings outstanding under the debt facility decreased from $68.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $33.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease was partially offset by increased pricing on the facility.  Interest expense decreased for the period because average borrowings outstanding under the debt facility decreased from $147.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease was partially offset by increasing weighted average interest rates from 5.34% to 9.35% for the same period. The majority of the increase in interest rate relates to the increased pricing resulting from the renewal of the debt facility.  Total banking and professional fees were $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease for the period was primarily related to a decrease in credit insurance fees and was offset to a lesser extent by an increase in professional fees.  The decrease in the credit insurance fees was the results of the decreasing facility size which was resulted from principal reductions under the banking facility.  The total other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were less than $0.1 million respectively.  Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $4.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively.  Total net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions was $(0.2) million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The realized losses consist of write offs and recoveries of previously written off uncollectible loans.  The net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from hedging activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were less than $0.1 million and $(1.5) million, respectively.  The realized and unrealized gain (loss) consist of the unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities and the net interest received or paid on the interest rate swap transaction beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008.





Total net change in unrealized loss from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $(5.3) million and $(2.5) million, respectively. The unrealized losses consist of fair market value adjustment taken against loans.  Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $(1.1) million and $4.3 million, respectively.  On a per share basis, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $(10.68) and $42.72 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Liquidity and Capital Resources  March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008  Total capital contributed to the Fund was $245.0 million, prior to the distribution of capital, as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Committed capital to the Company at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $250.0 million, all of which had been called.  The Fund had in place a $33.0 million and $69.0 million securitization debt facility as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Borrowings by the Fund are collateralized by receivables from loans advanced by the Fund in its ordinary course of business.  The interest rate on this facility is Prime plus 4.00 percent, which on March 31, 2009, was 7.25 percent per year.  The revolving period of the facility has terminated in January 2009. Now that the program termination date has been reached, the loan amortizes until fully repaid. It is anticipated that the facility will pay off completely by June 2009. The first draw against this direct financial obligation of the Fund took place in October 2004.  Both the bank fees and legal costs associated with this facility have been capitalized and are being amortized over the expected life of the facility.  The Fund typically will enter into hedge transactions to limit its interest rate risk, and thus the net interest expense will be based in a large part on the fixed rate negotiated on these transactions.  At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the Fund had interest rate swap transactions outstanding with a total notional principal amount of $31.8 million and $62.0 million, respectively. The Fund pays a fixed rate of 4.865% on an amortizing notional schedule and receives from the counterparty a floating LIBOR rate. Payments are made monthly and terminate in December 2009. The effect of these swap transactions is to convert the floating rate bank debt into a fixed rate on the contract notional value.  The amortization schedule for each borrowing under the facility is expected to correspond to the amortization of the loans supporting each borrowing. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 18% and 19%, respectively, of the Fund's assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents. The Fund elected to retain a larger amount of cash during the quarter to ensure that it had sufficient capital to fund its commitments in light of the uncertainties in the credit market. The Fund continued to invest its assets in venture loans during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Amounts disbursed under the Fund's loan commitments totaled approximately $1.6 million during the period from December 31, 2008 through March 31, 2009.  Net loan amounts outstanding after amortization and reserves decreased by approximately $48.9 million for the same period.  Unexpired, unfunded commitments totaled approximately $6.5 million as of March 31, 2009.   As ofCumulative Amount DisbursedPrincipal Reductions and ReservesBalance Outstanding  Fair ValueUnexpired Unfunded CommitmentsMarch 31, 2009$931.9 million$755.0 million$176.9 million$6.5 millionDecember 31, 2008$930.3 million$704.6 million$225.8 million$11.8 million   Because venture loans are privately negotiated transactions, investments in these assets are relatively illiquid.  It is the Funds experience that not all unfunded commitments will be used by borrowers.





The Fund seeks to meet the requirements to qualify for the special pass-through status available to RICs under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus to be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and realized capital gains that it distributes to its shareholder.  To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must distribute to its shareholder for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income and net short-term capital gain) (Distribution Requirement).  To the extent that the terms of the Funds venture loans provide for the receipt by the Fund of additional interest at the end of the loan term or provide for the receipt by the Fund of a purchase price for the asset at the end of the loan term (residual income), the Fund would be required to accrue such residual income over the life of the loan, and to include such accrued income in its gross income for each taxable year even if it receives no portion of such residual income in that year.  Thus, in order to meet the Distribution Requirement and avoid payment of income taxes or an excise tax on undistributed income, the Fund may be required in a particular year to distribute as a dividend an amount in excess of the total amount of income it actually receives.  Those distributions will be made from the Fund's cash assets, from amounts received through amortization of loans or from borrowed funds.   Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk  The Fund's business activities contain elements of risk.  The Fund considers the principal types of market risk to be interest rate risk and credit risk.  The Fund considers the management of risk essential to conducting its business and to maintaining profitability.  Accordingly, the Fund's risk management procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Fund's risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.  The Fund anticipates managing its credit risk by maintaining a portfolio that is diverse by industry, size of investment, stage of development, and borrower.  The Fund has limited exposure to public market price fluctuations as the Fund primarily invests in private business enterprises and the Fund generally distributes all equity securities upon receipt to the Company.  The Fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to hedge its interest rate on its borrowings under its debt facility. Unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities are separately reported from unrealized gains and losses from investment activities and are included in realized and unrealized gain (loss) from hedging activities in these financial statements.  Also included in realized and unrealized gain (loss) from hedging activities is the net interest received or paid on the interest rate swap transactions beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (amounts were previously included in interest expense and were not considered material). The fair value of the interest rate swap is recorded in other assets or other liabilities and the change in the fair value is recorded as a change in unrealized gain (loss) from investment and hedging activities.  The Fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of assets and liabilities.  The Fund utilizes various methods to assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect on interest income net of interest expense, the value of net assets and the value at risk in an effort to ensure that the Fund is insulated from any significant adverse effects from changes in interest rates.  Based on the model used for the sensitivity of interest income net of interest expense, if the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have affected net income by $0.1 million.  This translates to approximately 1.1% of income for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Although management believes that this measure is indicative of the Fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes, it makes estimates to adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect net income.  Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.  Item 4.  Controls and Procedures





See response to Item 4T.   Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon this evaluation, the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them of any material information relating to the Fund that is required to be disclosed by the Fund in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Changes in Internal Controls:  There were no changes in the Fund's internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.    PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION  Item 1.  Legal Proceedings  The Fund may become party to certain lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business.  While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Fund does not expect these proceedings will have a material effect upon the Fund's financial condition or results of operation.  Management is not aware of any pending legal proceedings involving the Fund.  Item 1A. Risk Factors  See item 1A  Risk Factors in the Funds 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of the risks attendant to the Fund and its business.  Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds  Prior to the Funds commencement of operations on May 28, 2004, the Fund sold 100,000 shares to the Funds sole shareholder, Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC for $25,000 in November 2003.  No other shares of the Fund have been sold; however the Fund received an additional $245.0 million of paid in capital during the period from May 28, 2004 through March 31, 2009 which is expected to be used to acquire venture loans and fund operations.
