Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities, and members’ capital, including the schedule of investments, of Hatteras VC Co-Investment Fund II, LLC (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in members’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2018, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its members’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and private companies in which the Company is invested. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Emphasis of a Matter

 

In August 2017, the term of the Company was extended for an additional two years until August 31, 2019. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

ORGANIZATION

 

Hatteras VC Co-Investment Fund II, LLC (the “Fund”) was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 7, 2008 and commenced operations on September 1, 2009. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund is managed by Hatteras Funds, LP (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund had an initial closing on September 1, 2009 (“Initial Closing”) and a final closing August 31, 2010 (“Final Closing”), as determined by the Board of Managers (the “Board”) of the Fund. The Fund’s investment period (the “Investment Period”) was three years following the Initial Closing of the Fund. The Fund was to continue until the date that is six years from the date of the Initial Closing, unless terminated earlier pursuant to applicable terms of the Fund’s limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”). The term was extended for two successive one-year periods at the discretion of the Board at a meeting on August 27, 2015. At a meeting on August 21, 2017, the Board elected to extend the term of the Fund for two additional years, or until August 31, 2019. During this two-year extension, beginning September 1, 2017, the Adviser will waive the Fund’s management fee (See Note 4).

 

The Board has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund on behalf of the members of the Fund (“Members”), subject to the laws of the State of Delaware and the Fund’s LLC Agreement, including authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Fund’s business.

The Fund is an investment company and applies accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

c.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments (Continued)

 

Investments in Private Companies – Investments for which observable market prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Adviser. Fair value is based on the best information available and is determined by reference to information including, but not limited to, the following: projected sales, net earnings, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), balance sheets, public or private transactions, valuations for publicly traded comparable companies, recent rounds of financing in the company’s stock, and/or other measures, and consideration of any other pertinent information including the types of securities held and restrictions on disposition. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and/or lack of marketability). The methods used to estimate the fair value of private companies include: (1) the market approach (whereby fair value is derived by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies or assets – e.g., multiplying a key performance metric of the investee company or asset, such as projected revenue or EBITDA, by a relevant valuation multiple observed in the range of comparable companies or transactions – adjusted by the Adviser for differences between the investment and the referenced comparables and in some instances by reference to option pricing models or other similar methods), (2) the income approach (e.g., the discounted cash flow method), (3) cost for a period of time after an acquisition (where such amount is determined by the Adviser to be the best indicator of fair value), and (4) based upon a recent round of financing, which usually includes referencing recent or pending transactions in the same or similar securities of the issuer. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. Due to the absence of readily determinable fair values and the inherent uncertainty of valuations, the estimated fair values for private companies may differ significantly from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

 

The Fund classifies its assets into three levels based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three-tier hierarchy distinguishes between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments.

 

The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Valuation of Investments

 

 

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Investments in private companies are generally valued using most recent capitalization technique and market comparable companies techniques. The significant unobservable input used in the most recent capitalization technique is private financing. Two significant unobservable inputs used in the market comparable companies technique are the particular type of market multiple relied upon and a discount rate. Different types of multiples (e.g., forward revenue multiple) are relied upon across the Fund’s portfolio. A significant decrease in one of these multiples in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. A significant increase in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s preferred and common stock are generally the financial results of privately held entities. If the financial condition of these companies were to deteriorate, or if market comparables were to fall, the value of the preferred stock or common stock in these private companies held by the Fund would be lower.

 

d.

Investment Income

 

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis when earned. Interest income is not recognized when collection is doubtful, but instead, such amounts are tracked in a memorandum account. At June 30, 2018, all interest was deemed collectable. Disbursements received from investments in private companies are ordinarily accounted for as a reduction of cost, or allocated between cost and realized gains and losses dependent upon information received from the private company. Investments in private companies are recorded on a subscription effective date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identified cost basis.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

e.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund expenses that are specifically attributed to the Fund are charged to the Fund and recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Fund include, but are not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions, legal fees, accounting, auditing, and tax preparation fees, custodial fees, fees for data and software providers, costs of insurance, registration expenses, management fee, and expenses of meetings of the Board.

 

f.

Income Taxes

 

The Fund is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. For income tax purposes, the individual Members will be taxed upon their distributive share of each item of the Fund’s profit and loss.

 

The Fund has reviewed any potential tax positions as of June 30, 2018 and has determined that it does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal jurisdictions and various states, which remain open for examination by the tax authorities for a period of three years from when they are filed. The tax years subject to evaluation by tax authorities are 2014 to 2017 and there are no tax examinations in progress.

 

g.

Distributions

 

The Fund may make distributions to Members annually, or more frequently, at the Fund’s discretion, as permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations. Amounts distributed will be intended to represent the amounts of distributions received by the Fund from underlying investments during the period since the last distribution (or from commencement of operations in the case of the first distribution). Any distributions to Members will be made pro-rata.

 

h.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in Members’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

i.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented on the statement of assets, liabilities and members’ capital.

 

3.

ALLOCATION OF MEMBERS’ CAPITAL

 

Net profits or net losses of the Fund for each allocation period (“Allocation Period”) will be allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of the Members. Net profits or net losses will be measured as the net change in the value of the Members’ capital of the Fund, including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses during an Allocation Period, adjusted to exclude any items to be allocated among the capital accounts of the Members in accordance with the Members’ respective investment percentages. Allocation Periods generally begin on the first calendar day of each month and end at the close of business on the last day of each month.

MANAGEMENT FEE AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Adviser is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Fund, subject to the ultimate supervision of and subject to any policies established by the Board, pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement with the Fund (the “Investment Management Agreement”). Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for developing, implementing and supervising the Fund’s investment program.

 

In consideration for such services, the Fund pays the Adviser a quarterly investment “management fee” equal to 2.00% on an annualized basis of the net assets of the Fund as of each quarter-end. The Adviser has committed to waive permanently a portion of its contractual fee rate under the Investment Management Agreement as of the end of any quarter at which (or month-end during the period from the Initial Closing to the Final Closing) the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio companies plus cash & cash equivalents is less than the Fund’s NAV as of such quarter-end (or month-end during the period from the Initial Closing to the Final Closing). During the two-year extension effective September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2019, the Adviser will waive permanently the entire management fee, which will not be subject to recoupment. Prior to that the Adviser waived the portion of its management fee that is in excess of the annual rate equal to 2.00% of the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio companies plus cash & cash equivalents. The management fee for the year ended June 30, 2018 was $17,149. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the Adviser waived $3,283 of the management fee, which is not subject to recoupment.

 

Each member of the Board who is not an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (each an “Independent Manager”), received an annual retainer of $6,000 for services on the Board and for services as a member of the audit committee of the Fund. All Board members are reimbursed by the Fund for all reasonable out-of- pocket expenses incurred by them in performing their duties. For the year ended June 30, 2018, retainers to the Independent Managers totaled $24,000 and are included in the statement of operations under Board fees. The Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer received an annual retainer of $5,500 which is included in the statement of operations under Chief Compliance Officer fee.

 

5.

ACCOUNTING, ADMINISTRATION AND CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT

 

During the third quarter of the fiscal year, the Fund made a change in administrator from UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMB”) to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator” or “USBFS”). In consideration for accounting, administrative, and recordkeeping services, the Fund pays a monthly administration fee based on the month-end net asset value of the Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2018 the total accounting and administration fee paid to UMB and US Bank was $28,750, and is included in the statement of operations.

 

During the third quarter of the fiscal year, the Fund made a change in custodian of the Fund’s assets from UMB Bank, n.a to US Bank, N.A. (“USB”), an affiliate of the Administrator. The total Custodian fee of $12,938 was paid for custodian fees and is included in the statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2018.

 

UMB provides regulatory administrative services, transfer agency functions, and Member services for the Fund. The Fund pays UMB a quarterly fee based on total accounts. For the year ended June 30, 2018, transfer agency fee was $10,000, and is included in the statement of operations under accounting and administration fees.

 

6.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

Total purchases of investments for the year ended June 30, 2018 amounted to $32,536. Total proceeds from sales, redemption, or other dispositions of investments for the year ended June 30, 2018 amounted to $2,705 including amounts held in escrow which the Fund believes will ultimately be collected. The cost of investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Fund from the investments. The Fund relies upon actual and estimated tax information provided by investments to the amounts of taxable income allocated to the Fund as of June 30, 2018.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

 

The Fund has invested substantially all of its available capital in private companies. These investments will generally be restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods or are not traded in public markets at all, so that the Fund may not be able to resell some of its securities holdings for extended periods.

 

7.

INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

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

 

8.

COMMITMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Fund did not have any outstanding investment commitments to portfolio companies.

 

9.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Fund involves significant risks, including liquidity risk, non-diversification risk and economic conditions risk, that should be carefully considered prior to investing and should only be considered by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford a loss of a substantial part or all of such investment.

 

Liquidity risk: Transfer of the units of limited liability company interests (“Units”) of the Fund is subject to significant restrictions. Because of these restrictions and the absence of a public market for the Units, a Member may be unable to liquidate his, her or its investment even though his, her or its personal financial circumstances would make liquidation advisable or desirable. The Units will not be readily acceptable as collateral for loans and the Units are not permitted to be pledged as collateral for loans. Moreover, even if a Member were able to dispose of his, her or its Units, adverse tax consequences could result.

 

Non-diversification risk: If there is an industry in which the Fund concentrates its investments, the Fund may be subject to greater investment risk as companies engaged in similar businesses are more likely to be similarly affected by any adverse market conditions and other adverse industry-specific factors.

 

Economic conditions risk: The Fund’s investments expose Members to a range of potential economic risks that could have an adverse effect on the Fund. These may include, but are not limited to, declines in economic growth, inflation, deflation, taxation, governmental restrictions, and/or adverse regulation.

 

10.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The financial highlights are intended to help an investor understand the Fund’s financial performance for past periods. The total return in the table represents the rate that a typical Member would be expected to have earned or lost on an investment in the Fund.

 

The ratios, total return and internal rate of return since inception amount are calculated based on the Member group taken as a whole. An individual Member’s results may vary from those shown below due to the timing of capital transactions.

 

The ratios are calculated by dividing total dollars of net investment income/(loss) or expenses, as applicable, by the average of total quarterly Members’ capital. The total return amount is calculated by geometrically linking returns based on the change in the net asset value during each accounting period.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Messrs. Steve E. Moss, H. Alexander Holmes, Gregory S. Sellers, and Thomas Mann are each qualified as “audit committee financial experts” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

 

  FYE 06/30/18 FYE 06/30/17
Audit Fees $54,023 $53,063
Audit-Related Fees - -
Tax Fees - -
All Other Fees - -

 

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

 

The percentage of fees billed by BDO USA, LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

  FYE 06/30/18 FYE 06/30/17
Audit-Related Fees 0% 0%
Tax Fees 0% 0%
All Other Fees 0% 0%

 

 

 

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. (If more than 50 percent of the accountant’s hours were spent to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, state how many hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.)

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

The Fund has delegated proxy voting responsibilities with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities to the Adviser, subject to the Board’s general oversight and with the direction that proxies should be voted consistent with the Fund’s best economic interests. In general, the Adviser believes that voting proxies in accordance with the policies described below will be in the best interests of the Fund. If an analyst, trader or partner of the Adviser believes that voting in accordance with stated proxy-voting guidelines would not be in the best interests of a Fund, the proxy will be referred to the Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer for a determination of how such proxy should be voted.

 

The Adviser will generally vote to support management recommendations relating to routine matters such as the election of directors (where no corporate governance issues are implicated), the selection of independent auditors, an increase in or reclassification of common stock, the addition or amendment of indemnification provisions in the company’s charter or by-laws, changes in the board of directors and compensation of outside directors. The Adviser will generally vote in favor of management or shareholder proposals that the Adviser believes will maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management, increase shareholder value, maintain or increase shareholder influence over the company’s board of directors and management and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders.

 

 

 

On non-routine matters, the Adviser will generally vote in favor of management proposals for mergers or reorganizations, reincorporation plans, fair-price proposals and shareholder rights plans so long as such proposals are in the best economic interests of the Fund.

 

If a proxy includes a matter to which none of the specific policies described above or in the Adviser’s stated proxy-voting guidelines is applicable or a matter involving an actual or potential conflict of interest as described below, the proxy will be referred to the Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer for a determination of how such proxy should be voted.

 

In exercising its voting discretion, the Adviser and its employees will seek to avoid any direct or indirect conflict of interest presented by the voting decision. If any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the matter to be voted on presents an actual or potential conflict of interest involving the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser), any issuer of a security for which the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) acts as sponsor, Adviser, manager, custodian, distributor, underwriter, broker or other similar capacity or any person with whom the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) has an existing material contract or business relationship not entered into in the ordinary course of business (the Adviser and such other persons having an interest in the matter being called “Interested Persons”), the Adviser will make written disclosure of the conflict to the Independent Managers of the Fund indicating how the Adviser proposes to vote on the matter and its reasons for doing so. If the Adviser does not receive timely written instructions as to voting or non-voting on the matter from the Fund’s Independent Managers, the Adviser may take any of the following actions which it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund: (i) engage an independent third party to determine whether and how the proxy should be voted and vote or refrain from voting on the matter as determined by the third party; (ii) vote on the matter in the manner proposed to the Independent Managers if the vote is against the interests of all Interested Persons; or (iii) refrain from voting on the matter.

 

The Fund will be required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the twelve months ended June 30, no later than August 31 of each year. Once filed, the Fund’s Form N-PX filing will be available: (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at 800-504-9070 or (ii) by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
