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 and six months ended June 30, 2008 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, 2007.  Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net increase in net assets resulting from operation or net assets.  2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interest Income Interest income on loans is recognized using the effective interest method including amounts resulting 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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the financial statements include nonmarketable investments ($320,100,618 and $369,857,127 or approximately 96% and 95% 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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 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. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, loans with a cost basis of $11.6 million and $4.1 million and a fair value of $4.6 million and $1.7 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 Agreements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, 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 No. 133 requires that changes in the derivatives fair value be recognized currently in earnings. The Fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to hedge its interest rate on its borrowings under its debt facility. The net interest received or paid on the transactions are included in interest expense. 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 investments and hedging activities. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2008.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.  The Fund has adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, and has provided additional disclosure in footnote 3 related to this standard.  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.  Entities choosing the fair value option would be required to recognize subsequent changes in the fair value of those instruments and other items directly in earnings.  This standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS 159 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The Fund has adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008.  However, the Fund has not elected the fair value option for any eligible items. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(SFAS 161), an amendment of SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on 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 becomes effective for the Fund in the first quarter of 2009.  The Fund does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial statements. Tax Status As long as the Fund qualifies as a Regulated Investment Company (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 June 30, 2008, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions.





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 June 30, 2008, 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).  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 period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on performing loans was 14.07% and 13.79%, respectively.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on performing loans was 14.30% and 14.01%, 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.  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 June 30, 2008, the Fund had unexpired unfunded commitments to borrowers of $62.5 million.  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 is exchanged in an orderly transaction; it is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale.  Valuation Hierarchy UnderSFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (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 is 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 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:  Level 2Level 3TotalASSETS:Loans to Borrowers$-$320,100,618$320,100,618Total assets$-$320,100,618$320,100,618LIABILITIES:Interest rate swap agreement$1,450,844$-$1,450,844Total liabilities$1,450,844$-$1,450,844  No assets or liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified as Level 1. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was ($1,450,844) and ($1,185,838), respectively and is included in other accrued liabilities.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase 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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 through June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $250.0 million, of which $245.0 million and $242.5 million, respectively, was contributed to the Fund. The chart below shows the distributions of the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

These distributions have been presented as distributions of income.  However, the 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 As of June 30, 2008, the Fund had in place a securitization debt facility of $230.0 million to finance the acquisition of asset-based loans.  As of June 30, 2008, the Fund had $115.0 million of outstanding loans under this facility.  The interest rate on this facility is usually the Commercial Paper Rate plus 0.65 percent, which on June 30, 2008, was 3.27 percent per year. The loan agreement governing this debt facility requires that the Funds obligations be insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation (Ambac).  The agreement specifies that it is an event of default if the financial strength rating of Ambac falls below AA by S&P or Aa2 by Moodys, in which event Societe Generale (Program Agent) may cease making new loans and accelerate the payments due under the loan agreement. On June 19, 2008, Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) lowered Ambacs financial strength rating to Aa3 from AAA, and placed the ratings on negative outlook. Although this rating downgrade constitutes a specified event of default under the loan agreement, the Program Agent has not taken any action (other than to implement an increase in the interest rate from the commercial paper rate to the equivalent of the prime rate plus 2% (7% as of June 30, 2008), as provided for in the loan agreement), and has indicated to the Funds management that the lenders intend to waive this non-monetary default and amend the loan agreement to lower the facility borrowing limit, to shorten the term of the facility, and to cause the lending





group to be repaid sooner than had Ambacs downgrade not occurred.  The Manager believes that the terms of the amendment will not impair the Funds ability to continue its operations consistent with past practice; however, if the Fund is unable to obtain the waiver with acceptable terms, it would seek to negotiate with the lending group a reasonable repayment plan consistent with the cash flow requirements of the Fund or seek alternative financing arrangements.  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 and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  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. Beginning and ending net asset values per share are based on the beginning and ending number of shares outstanding.  Other per share information is calculated based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented.

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 the Groups 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 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 only critical accounting policy we identified was related to the valuation of loans.  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 Note 2 of the Funds Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (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 net assets. Results of Operations For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007  Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $11.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, of which $11.2 million and $14.4 million consisted of interest on venture loans outstanding during the period.  Total investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $24.4 million and $30.9 million, respectively, of which $24.0 million and $29.4 million consisted of interest on venture loans outstanding during the period. The remaining income related to interest income from short-term investment of cash as well as other income from commitment fees, warrants received for loans that will never fund, and incentive fees received on a certain loan.  The decrease in investment income is caused mainly by the declining performing loans from $428.6 million as of March 31, 2007 to $408.6 million as of June 30, 2007, to $368.2 millionas of December 31, 2007, to $326.0 million as of March 31, 2008, and to $317.5 million as of June 30, 2008.  This was partially offset by increasing interest rates, as average interest rates increased from 13.79% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to1 14.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 14.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 14.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $4.4 million and $5.6 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 $1.9 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest expense decreased for the period because average borrowings outstanding under the debt facility decreased from $205.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $120.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease was partially offset by increasing weighted average interest rates from 5.78% to 6.37%  for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  Total interest expense was $3.9 million and $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest expense decreased for the period because average borrowings outstanding under the debt facility decreased from $206.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $133.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease was partially offset by increasing weighted average interest rates from 5.73% to 5.82% for the same period.  Total banking and professional fees were $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Total banking and professional fees were $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The increase for the period was primarily related to increased bank fees and to a lesser extent an increase in professional fees.  The banking fee increase was the result of paying down debt under the banking facility; which caused increased fees on the unused portion of the facility.  Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $6.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.  Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $14.9 million and $18.4 million, respectively.  Total net realized loss from investment transactions was $(0.3) million and $(1.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. Total net realized loss from investment transactions was $(0.3) million and $(2.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The realized losses consist of write offs and recoveries of previously written off uncollectible loans.  Total net change in unrealized loss from investment and hedging activities for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $(2.9) million and less than $(0.1) million respectively.  The net change in unrealized loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is the result of a net $4.2 million reserve taken against loans and a gain from the Funds hedging activities of $1.3 million. The unrealized loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was the result of a net $0.4 million reserve taken against loans and a gain from the Funds hedging activities of $0.4 million. Total net change in unrealized loss from investment and hedging activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $(6.9) million and $(0.7) million respectively.  The net change in unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is the result of a net $6.7 million reserve taken against loans and a loss from the Funds hedging activities of $0.3 million. The unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was the result of a net $0.7 million reserve taken against loans and a gain from the Funds hedging activities of $0.1 million.  Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively.  On a per share basis, net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $33.95 and $72.89 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $7.7 million and $14.9 million, respectively.  On a per share basis, net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $76.67 and $148.92 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.   Liquidity and Capital Resources  June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007





Total capital contributed to the Fund was $245.0 million and $242.5 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.  Committed capital to the Company at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $250.0 million, all of which had been called.  The Fund had in place a $230.0 million securitization debt facility as June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.  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 usually the Commercial Paper Rate plus 0.65 percent, which on June 30, 2008, was 3.27 percent per year. The loan agreement governing this debt facility requires that the Funds obligations be insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation (Ambac).  The agreement specifies that it is an event of default if the financial strength rating of Ambac falls below AA by S&P or Aa2 by Moodys, in which event Societe Generale (Program Agent) may cease making new loans and accelerate the payments due under the loan agreement.  On June 19, 2008, Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) lowered Ambacs financial strength rating to Aa3 from AAA, and placed the ratings on negative outlook.  Although this rating downgrade constitutes a specified event of default under the loan agreement, the Program Agent has not taken any action (other than to implement an increase in the interest rate from the commercial paper rate to the equivalent of the prime rate plus 2% (7% as of June30, 2008), as provided for in the loan agreement), and has indicated to the Funds management that the lenders intend to waive this non-monetary default and amend the loan agreement to lower the facility borrowing limit, to shorten the term of the facility, and to cause the lending group to be repaid sooner than had Ambacs downgrade not occurred.  The Manager believes that the terms of the amendment will not impair the Funds ability to continue its operations consistent with past practice; however, if the Fund is unable to obtain the waiver with acceptable terms, it would seek to negotiate with the lending group a reasonable repayment plan consistent with the cash flow requirements of the Fund or seek alternative financing arrangements.  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.  The facility terminates in May 2009, but can be accelerated under an event of default such as failure by the Fund to make timely interest or principal payments.  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.  At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Fund had interest rate swap transactions outstanding with a total notional principal amount of $120.0 million and $156.0 million. The Fund pays a fixed rate of 4.91% and receives from the counterparty a floating LIBOR rate. Payments are made monthly and terminate on April 10, 2010. 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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 3% and 4%, respectively, of the Fund's assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.  The Fund continued to invest its assets in venture loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.  Amounts disbursed under the Fund's loan commitments totaled approximately $73.7 million during the period from December 31, 2007 through June 30, 2008.  Net loan amounts outstanding after amortization and reserves decreased by approximately $49.8 million for the same period.  Unexpired, unfunded commitments totaled approximately $62.5 million as of June 30, 2008.  As ofAmount DisbursedPrincipal Reductions and ReservesBalance Outstanding  Fair ValueUnexpired Unfunded CommitmentsJune 30, 2008$900.7 million$576.6 million$320.1 million$62.5 millionDecember 31, 2007$827.0 million$457.1 million$369.9 million$61.0 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 bank loans.  The net interest received or paid on the transactions is included in interest expense.  The fair value of the 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 transactions.  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 less than $0.1 million.  This translates to less than 1% of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  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

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 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of the principal risks that attend 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 June 30, 2008 which is expected to be used to acquire venture loans and fund operations.
