(1) Selected data for a unit of Membership Interest outstanding throughout each period.

(2) The net asset value for the period ended March 31, 2012, represents the initial contribution per unit of $1,000. The initial net asset value per unit of $1,000 was adjusted for the subsequent contributions made at a per unit value of $804.57, $847.01, $886.32, $913.32, $936.59 and $965.88.

(3) Total investment return, based on per unit net asset value, reflects the changes in net asset value based on the effects of organizational costs, the performance of the TE Fund during the period and assumes distributions, if any, were reinvested. The TE Fund’s units are not traded in any market; therefore, the market value total investment return is not calculated.

(4) Total investment return and the ratios to average Members’ Equity - Net Assets is calculated for the TE Fund taken as a whole. Total investment return is calculated using a commitment-weighted rate of return methodology based on the timing of closings during the year ended March 31, 2013 and the period from the commencement of operations (January 1, 2012) through March 31, 2012 as it more appropriately reflects the return of the TE Fund taken as a whole. As a result, an individual Member’s return may vary from these returns and ratios based on the timing of their capital transactions.

(5) Ratios include expenses allocated from the Company. Ratos for the six months ended September 30, 2014 have been annualized excluding the incentive carried interest.

(6) The Internal Rate of Return is computed based on the actual dates of the cash inflows (capital contributions), outflows (capital and stock distributions), and the ending net assets before and after incentive carried interest at the end of the period (residual value) as of each measurement date, excluding the cash flows and net assets of the Investment Adviser. For the period ended March 31, 2012, the internal rate of return is based on a very limited operating period and, as such, may not be meaningful.

Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (TE), LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (TE), LLC (the “TE Fund”) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The TE Fund was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on September 8, 2010. The TE Fund commenced operations on January 1, 2012. The duration of the TE Fund is ten years from the final subscription closing date (the “Final Closing”), which occurred on July 1, 2012, subject to two two-year extensions which may be approved by the Board of Managers of the TE Fund (the “Board” or the “Board of Managers”). Thereafter, the term of the TE Fund may be extended by majority interest of its Members as defined in the TE Fund’s limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”).

The TE Fund’s investment objective is to provide attractive long-term returns. The TE Fund pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (Master), LLC (the “Company”), through its consolidated subsidiary, Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (Offshore), LDC, a Cayman Islands limited duration company (the “Offshore Fund”). The Company seeks to achieve its objective primarily by investing in private equity funds and other collective investment vehicles or accounts (the “Portfolio Funds”). Neither the Company, the TE Fund, nor the Investment Adviser (as defined below) guarantees any level of return or risk on investments and there can be no assurance that the Company or the TE Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio Funds are not registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act.

The financial statements of the Company, including the Company’s Schedule of Investments, are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the TE Fund's consolidated financial statements. The percentage of the Company’s members’ contributed capital owned by the TE Fund at September 30, 2014 was approximately 59.82%.

Until December 31, 2013, Bank of America Capital Advisors LLC (“BACA”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”) and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), served as investment adviser of the Company and provided management services to the TE Fund. Its principal office was located at 100 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110. BACA was controlled by Bank of America, a financial holding company which has its principal executive office at 101 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28255. BACA was responsible for identifying, evaluating, structuring, monitoring and disposing of the Company’s investments.

Effective December 31, 2013, BACA reorganized into its affiliate, Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC (“MLAI” or the “Investment Adviser”) (the “Reorganization”). As the survivor of the Reorganization and the successor of BACA, MLAI assumed all responsibilities for serving as the Investment Adviser of the Company under the terms of the investment advisory agreement between BACA and the Company. The transfer of the Advisory Agreement from BACA to MLAI was approved by the Company’s Board of Managers on November 25, 2013. The personnel of MLAI who provide services to the Company are the same personnel who previously provided such services to the Company on behalf of BACA.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

The Board has overall responsibility to manage and supervise the operation of the TE Fund, including the exclusive authority to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct, and operation of the TE Fund. The Board exercises the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the TE Fund as are customarily exercised by directors of a typical investment company registered under the Investment Company Act organized as a corporation. The Board engaged the Investment Adviser to manage the day-to-day operations of the TE Fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A. Basis of Accounting and Consolidation

The TE Fund’s policy is to prepare its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Consequently, income and the related assets are recognized when earned, and expenses and the related liabilities are recognized when incurred. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the TE Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2014, the percentage of the Offshore Fund’s shareholders’ capital owned by the TE Fund was 100%.  The financial position and results of operations of the Offshore Fund have been consolidated in these consolidated financial statements.  All intercompany transactions (consisting of capital contributions and distributions) have been eliminated.

B. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies: Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). The amendments in ASU 2013-08 change the approach used to determine whether an entity is an investment company and provides comprehensive implementation guidance for that assessment. Under ASU 2013-08, entities regulated under the Investment Company Act will automatically qualify as investment companies while unregistered entities are required to have certain fundamental characteristics and consider other typical characteristics to qualify as an investment company for financial reporting purposes. ASU 2013-08 also includes certain disclosure requirements for investment companies. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. The Investment Adviser has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of ASU 2013-08 does not have a material impact on these financial statements.

C. Valuation of Investments

The TE Fund records its investment in the Company at fair value. The net asset value of the TE Fund is determined by the Investment Adviser as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter after the Company has received reports from the Portfolio Funds related to that quarter and at such other times as deemed appropriate by the valuation committee of the Board on the advice of the Investment Adviser, as valuation agent, in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below, or as may be determined from time to time, pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. Pursuant to the valuation procedures, the Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser the general responsibility for valuation of the investments in the Portfolio Funds subject to the oversight of the Board. The value of the TE Fund’s investment in the Company reflects the TE Fund’s proportionate interest in the total members’ contributed capital of the Company at September 30, 2014. Valuation of the investments held by the Company is discussed in Note 2 of the Company’s financial statements, attached to these consolidated financial statements.

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and short term investments which are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three months or less. At September 30, 2014 the TE Fund did not hold any cash equivalents. UMB Bank N.A. serves as the TE Fund’s custodian.

E. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

F. Investment Gains and Losses

The TE Fund records its share of the Company’s investment income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses in proportion to the TE Fund’s aggregate commitment to the Company. The Company's income and expense recognition policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Company's financial statements, attached to these consolidated financial statements.

G. Income Taxes

The TE Fund is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for tax reporting. Tax basis income and losses are passed through to Members and, accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes reflected in these consolidated financial statements. The TE Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

The Offshore Fund is a Cayman Islands limited duration company and is treated as a Delaware corporation for tax reporting.  The Offshore Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Differences arise in the computation of Members’ capital for financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and Members’ capital for federal and state income tax reporting. These differences are primarily due to the fact that unrealized gains and losses are allocated for financial reporting purposes and are not allocated for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

The cost of the TE Fund’s investment in the Company for federal income tax purposes is based on amounts reported to the TE Fund on Schedule K-1 from the Company. Based on the amounts reported to the TE Fund on Schedule K-1 as of December 31, 2013, and after adjustment for purchases and sales between December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the estimated cost of the TE Fund’s investment in the Company at September 30, 2014, for federal income tax purposes aggregated $35,238,886. The net and gross unrealized appreciation for federal income tax purposes on the TE Fund’s investment in the Company was estimated to be $11,610,728.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

The TE Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the TE Fund is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of December 31, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2011 forward (with limited exceptions). FASB ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes” requires the Investment Adviser to determine whether a tax position of the TE Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in these consolidated financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The Investment Adviser has reviewed the TE Fund’s tax positions for the open tax year and has concluded that no provision for taxes is required in the TE Fund’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2014. The TE Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the TE Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

H. Contribution Policy

Capital contributions shall be credited to Members’ capital accounts and units shall be issued when paid. Capital contributions will be determined based on a percentage of commitments. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the TE Fund issued 5,630.12 units.

I. Distribution Policy

Distributions shall be made of available cash (net of reserves that the Board deems reasonable) or other net investment proceeds to Members at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion and in accordance with Members’ respective percentage interests, as defined in the LLC Agreement. Distributions from the TE Fund are made in the following priority:

(a) First, to Members of the TE Fund (including the Investment Adviser) until they have received a 125% return of all drawn commitments; and

(b) Then, a 95% - 5% split between Members (including the Investment Adviser) and the Investment Adviser, respectively. The Investment Adviser will not collect any of the Incentive Carried Interest (as defined below) that it may have earned until after the fourth anniversary of the Final Closing.

J. Restrictions on Transfers

Interests of the TE Fund (“Interests”) are generally not transferable. No Member may assign, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its Interests without the prior written consent of the Board which may be granted or withheld in the Board’s sole discretion, and in compliance with applicable securities and tax laws.

K. Fund Expenses

The TE Fund bears its own expenses and, indirectly bears a pro rata portion of the Company’s expenses incurred in the course of business, not otherwise borne by the Investment Adviser, including, but not limited to, all Advisory Fees and incentive carried interest payable to the Investment Adviser; accounting, audit and tax preparation fees and expenses; administrative expenses and fees; legal fees and expenses; custody and escrow fees and expenses; the costs of any errors and omissions/directors and officers liability insurance policy and a fidelity bond; all costs and charges for equipment or services used in communicating information regarding the Company’s transactions among the Investment Adviser and any custodian or other agent engaged by the Company; expenses (including financing, due diligence, travel and other costs) related to the holding, monitoring, follow-on investments and disposition of the Portfolio Funds; interest expenses; any extraordinary expenses; and such other expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board. The TE Fund will also indirectly bear, through its investment in the Company, the management fees of the Portfolio Funds, as well as carried interest allocations in such Portfolio Funds; the expenses of the Portfolio Funds, including without limitation, investment-related expenses, non-investment related interest expense, administrative expenses and fees and disbursements of attorneys and accountants engaged on behalf of the Portfolio Funds and other ordinary and extraordinary expenses. These expenses, including incentive fees and allocations, allocated to the Company attributable to its investments in the Portfolio Funds are not broken out separately on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations of the TE Fund, and are not included in the expense ratios shown in the accompanying Financial Highlights of the TE Fund.  The income and expenses of the Portfolio Funds are, however, included in realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

L. Incentive Carried Interest

Incentive carried interest (the “Incentive Carried Interest”) is not earned by the Investment Adviser until 125% of all drawn capital commitments are returned to Members (including the Investment Adviser). After a 125% return of all drawn commitments has been made, all future distributions will be split 95% to Members (including the Investment Adviser) pro rata in accordance with their respective capital contributions and 5% to the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser is not eligible to collect any of the Incentive Carried Interest that it may have earned until after July 1, 2016, the fourth anniversary of the Final Closing (the anticipated timeframe in which all, or substantially all, of the commitments that the TE Fund intends to invest will have been drawn). Incentive Carried Interest is accrued based on the net asset value of the TE Fund at each quarter-end as an allocation of profits, to the extent there is an amount to be accrued. The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Members’ Equity – Net Assets discloses the amount payable and paid to the Investment Adviser in the period in which it occurs. At September 30, 2014, the accrued and unpaid Incentive Carried Interest was $0.

3. Advisory Fee, Management Fee, Administration Fee and Related Party Transactions

The Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company and incurs research, travel and other expenses related to the selection and monitoring of Portfolio Funds. Further, the Investment Adviser provides certain management and administrative services to the TE Fund, including providing office space and other support services, maintaining files and records, and preparing and filing various regulatory materials. In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Investment Adviser, the Company pays the Investment Adviser an investment advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) quarterly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.0% as follows: (i) during the period from the initial closing until the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing, based on the total capital commitments (the “Underlying Commitments”) entered into by the Company with respect to investments in the Portfolio Funds; and (ii) beginning on the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing and thereafter, based on the net asset value of the Company. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred Advisory Fees totaling $751,791, of which $449,723 was allocated to the TE Fund.

In consideration for the services provided under the Management Agreement, the TE Fund pays the Investment Adviser a management fee (the “Management Fee”) quarterly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.50% as follows: (i) during the period from the initial closing until the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing, based on the Underlying Commitments attributable to the TE Fund (based on the TE Fund’s commitments to the Company relative to those of the Feeder Funds invested in the Company) and (ii) beginning on the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing and thereafter, based on the net asset value of the Company. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the TE Fund incurred Management Fees totaling $224,863.

The Investment Adviser has voluntarily reduced its Advisory Fee and/or Management Fee to the extent necessary to ensure that the combined Advisory Fee and Management Fee paid does not exceed the amount that would have been paid using the annual rate of 1.5% of total commitments from Members, measured over the life of the TE Fund. Any such fee reduction will not, however, impact the Investment Adviser’s right to receive Incentive Carried Interest, if any.

Certain general and administrative expenses, such as occupancy and personnel costs, are borne by Bank of America or other affiliates and are not reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to an Administrative and Accounting Services Agreement, the TE Fund retains UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator”), formerly known as J.D. Clark & Company, a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation, to provide administration, accounting, tax preparation, and investor services to the TE Fund. In consideration for these services, the TE Fund pays the Administrator a fixed fee of $6,500 per calendar quarter. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the TE Fund incurred administration fees totaling $13,000.

The Board consists of five managers, each of whom is not an “interested person” of the TE Fund as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Managers”). The Independent Managers are each paid an annual retainer of $40,000. Compensation to the Board is paid and expensed by the Company on a quarterly basis. The Independent Managers are also reimbursed for out of pocket expenses in connection with providing their services. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $100,000 in Independent Managers’ fees, of which $59,820 was allocated to the TE Fund.

An “affiliated person” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of another person means (i) any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of such other person; (ii) any person 5 percent or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled, or held with power to vote, by such other person; (iii) any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such other person; (iv) any officer, director, partner, copartner, or employee of such other person; (v) if such other person is an investment company, any investment adviser thereof or any member of an advisory board thereof; and (vi) if such other person is an unincorporated investment company not having a board of directors, the depositor thereof. As of September 30, 2014, three Members had ownership of approximately 13.79%, 10.03%, and 5.02% of the TE Fund’s total commitments and are deemed “affiliated members” (the “Affiliated Members”). The affiliation between the Affiliated Members and the TE Fund is based solely on the commitments made and percentage ownership.

Affiliates of the Investment Adviser may have banking, underwriting, lending, brokerage, or other business relationships with the Portfolio Funds in which the Company invests and with companies in which the Portfolio Funds invest.

4. Capital Commitments from Members

At September 30, 2014, capital commitments from Members totaled $89,698,990. Capital contributions received by the TE Fund with regard to satisfying Member commitments totaled $44,849,494, which represents approximately 50% of committed capital at September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the TE Fund had distributed $8,969,899, of which $7,175,919 is recallable.

5. Allocations of Capital and Net Profits or Net Losses to Members

The net profits or net losses of the TE Fund are allocated to Members in a manner that takes into account the amount of cash that would be distributed based upon a hypothetical liquidation, such that it would follow the distributions outlined in Note 2.I.

6. Indemnifications

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

7. Concentrations of Market, Credit, Liquidity, Industry, Currency and Capital Call Risk

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the difference could be material. The Company’s investments are subject, directly or indirectly, to various risk factors including market, credit, industry, currency and capital call risk. Certain investments are made internationally, which may subject the investments to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions affecting such countries or regions. Market risk represents the potential loss in value of financial instruments caused by movements in market variables, such as interest and foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The Company may have a concentration of investments, as permitted by its registration statement, in a particular industry or sector. Investment performance of the sector may have a significant impact on the performance of the Company. The Company’s investments are also subject to the risk associated with investing in private equity securities. The investments in private equity securities are illiquid, can be subject to various restrictions on resale, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize the value of such investments in a timely manner, if at all.

The Company believes that its liquidity and capital resources are adequate to satisfy its operational needs as well as the continuation of its investment program.

This portfolio strategy presents a high degree of business and financial risk due to the nature of underlying companies in which the Portfolio Funds invest, which may include entities with little operating history, minimal capitalization, operations in new or developing industries, and concentration of investments in one industry or geographical area.

Further, a significant portion of the Portfolio Fund assets may become investments in public securities through initial public offerings and acquisitions by public companies. These securities may be subject to restrictions, which may prevent the immediate resale of these securities by the Portfolio Funds. These securities may be subject to substantial market volatility which could impact the Portfolio Funds’ valuations.

The Portfolio Funds may invest in certain financial instruments which may contain varying degrees of off balance sheet credit, interest and market risks. As a result, the TE Fund, through its investment in the Company, may be subject indirectly to such risks through the Company’s investment in the Portfolio Funds. However, due to the nature of the Company’s investments in Portfolio Funds, such risks are limited to the Company’s capital balance in each such Portfolio Fund.

If the Company defaults on its commitment or fails to satisfy capital calls, it will be subject to significant penalties, including the complete forfeiture of the Company’s investment in the Portfolio Fund. This may impair the ability of the Company to pursue its investment program, force the Company to borrow or otherwise impair the value of the Company’s investments (including the complete devaluation of the Company). In addition, defaults by Members on their commitments to the TE Fund, may cause the Company to, in turn, default on its commitment to a Portfolio Fund. In this case, the Company, and especially the non-defaulting Members, will bear the penalties of such default as outlined above. While the Investment Adviser has taken steps to mitigate this risk, there is no guarantee that such measures will be sufficient or successful.

(1) Selected data for a unit of Membership Interest outstanding throughout each period.

(2) The net asset value for the period ended March 31, 2012, represents the initial contribution per unit of $1,000. The initial net asset value per unit of $1,000 was adjusted for the subsequent contributions made at a per unit value of $824.01, $1,037.36, $1,217.95, $1,203.29, $1,286.66, $1,356.02, $1,405.36, $1,446.49 and $1,496.55.

(3) Total investment return, based on per unit net asset value, reflects the changes in net asset value based on the effects of organizational costs, the performance of the Company during the period and assumes distributions, if any, were reinvested. The Company’s units are not traded in any market; therefore, the market value total investment return is not calculated.

(4) Total investment return and the ratios to average Members’ Equity - Net Assets is calculated for the Company taken as a whole. Total investment return is calculated using a commitment-weighted rate of return methodology based on the timing of closings during the year ended March 31, 2013 and the period from the commencement of operations (August 10, 2011) through March 31, 2012 as it more appropriately reflects the return of the Company taken as a whole. As a result, an individual Member’s return may vary from these returns and ratios based on the timing of their capital transactions.

(5) Ratios do not reflect the Company’s proportional share of the net investment income (loss) and expenses, including any performance-based fees, of the Portfolio Funds. Ratios for the six months ended September 30, 2014 have been annualized.

(6) Proceeds received from investments are included in the portfolio turnover rate.

(7) The Internal Rate of Return is computed based on the actual dates of the cash inflows (capital contributions), outflows (capital and stock distributions), and the ending net assets at the end of the period (residual value) as of each measurement date, excluding the cash flows and net assets of the Investment Adviser. For the period ended March 31, 2012, the internal rate of return is based on a very limited operating period and, as such, may not be meaningful.

Notes to the Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (Master), LLC (the “Company”) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on September 8, 2010. The Company commenced operations on August 10, 2011. The duration of the Company is ten years from the final subscription closing date (the “Final Closing”), which occurred on July 1, 2012, subject to two two-year extensions which may be approved by the Board of Managers of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Managers”). Thereafter, the term of the Company may be extended by majority interest of its Members as defined in the Company’s limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”).

The Company’s investment objective is to provide attractive long-term returns. The Company seeks to achieve its objective primarily by investing in private equity funds and other collective investment vehicles or accounts pursuing investment strategies in buyout/growth, venture capital, and special situations (distressed debt, mezzanine, natural resources, opportunistic, real estate, royalties, and other private equity strategies perceived to be attractive by the Investment Adviser) (collectively the "Portfolio Funds"). Neither the Company nor the Investment Adviser (as defined below) guarantees any level of return or risk on investments and there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio Funds are not registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act.

Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (TI), LLC (the “TI Fund”) and Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (TE), LLC (the “TE Fund”), each a Delaware limited liability company that is registered under the Investment Company Act as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, and Excelsior Private Markets Fund II (Offshore), LDC, a Cayman Islands limited duration company (the “Offshore Fund,” and together with the TI Fund and the TE Fund, the “Feeder Funds”), pursue their investment objectives by investing substantially all of their assets in the Company.  The percentage of the Offshore Fund's shareholders’ capital owned by the TE Fund is 100%. The financial position and results of operations of the Offshore Fund have been consolidated within the TE Fund's consolidated financial statements. The Feeder Funds have the same investment objective and substantially the same investment policies as the Company (except that the Feeder Funds pursue their investment objectives by investing in the Company).

Until December 31, 2013, Bank of America Capital Advisors LLC (“BACA”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”) and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), served as investment adviser of the Company. Its principal office was located at 100 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110. BACA was controlled by Bank of America, a financial holding company which has its principal executive office at 101 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28255. BACA was responsible for identifying, evaluating, structuring, monitoring and disposing of the Company’s investments.

Effective December 31, 2013, BACA reorganized into its affiliate, Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC (“MLAI” or the “Investment Adviser”) (the “Reorganization”). As the survivor of the Reorganization and the successor of BACA, MLAI assumed all responsibilities for serving as the Investment Adviser of the Company under the terms of the investment advisory agreement between BACA and the Company. The transfer of the Advisory Agreement from BACA to MLAI was approved by the Company’s Board of Managers on November 25, 2013. The personnel of MLAI who provide services to the Company are the same personnel who previously provided such services to the Company on behalf of BACA. The Investment Adviser has made an investment in the Company in exchange for 0.35 units of the Company’s net assets.

The Board has overall responsibility to manage and supervise the operations of the Company. The Board exercises the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Company as are customarily exercised by directors of a typical investment company registered under the Investment Company Act organized as a corporation. The Board has engaged the Investment Adviser to provide investment advice regarding the selection of the Portfolio Funds and to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company.

The Company operates as a vehicle for the investment of substantially all of the assets of the Feeder Funds as members of the Company (“Members”).  As of September 30, 2014, the TI Fund’s and the TE Fund’s ownership of the Company’s Members’ contributed capital was 40.18% and 59.82%, respectively, with the Investment Adviser’s (who is also a Member of the Company) percentage ownership of the Company’s Members’ contributed capital being insignificant.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A. Basis of Accounting

The Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Consequently, income and the related assets are recognized when earned, and expenses and the related liabilities are recognized when incurred. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

B. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies: Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). The amendments in ASU 2013-08 change the approach used to determine whether an entity is an investment company and provides comprehensive implementation guidance for that assessment. Under ASU 2013-08, entities regulated under the Investment Company Act will automatically qualify as investment companies while unregistered entities are required to have certain fundamental characteristics and consider other typical characteristics to qualify as an investment company for financial reporting purposes. ASU 2013-08 also includes certain disclosure requirements for investment companies. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. The Investment Adviser has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of ASU 2013-08 does not have a material impact on these financial statements.

C. Valuation of Investments

The Company computes its net asset value as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter and at such other times as the Investment Adviser deems appropriate in accordance with valuation principles set forth below, or as may be determined from time to time, pursuant to the valuation procedures (the “Procedures”) established by the Board.

The Board has approved the Procedures pursuant to which the Company values its interests in the Portfolio Funds and other investments.  The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser general responsibility for determining the value of the assets held by the Company.  The value of the Company’s interests is based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and the Investment Adviser believes to be reliable.  Generally, the value of each Portfolio Fund will be based primarily upon the value reported to the Company by the Portfolio Fund as of each quarter-end, determined by the Portfolio Fund in accordance with its own valuation policies.

It is expected that most of the Portfolio Funds in which the Company invests will meet the criteria set forth under FASB Certification Topic ASC 820 (“ASC 820”) permitting the use of the practical expedient to determine the fair value of the Portfolio Fund investments. ASC 820 provides that, in valuing alternative investments that do not have quoted market prices but calculate net asset value per share or equivalent, an investor may determine fair value by using the net asset value reported to the investor by the underlying investment. To the extent ASC 820 is applicable to a Portfolio Fund, the Investment Adviser generally will value the Company’s investment in the Portfolio Fund on a quarterly basis using the practical expedient as of each quarter end, based on the valuation provided to the Investment Adviser by the Portfolio Fund (or the manager thereof on behalf of the Portfolio Fund) in accordance with the valuation policies of the Portfolio Fund or its manager, as applicable.

Although the Investment Adviser generally will value the Company’s investments in Portfolio Funds using the practical expedient as described above, there may be situations where the Investment Adviser is either unable to utilize the practical expedient, for example because a Portfolio Fund does not report a quarter end value on a timely basis, or where the Investment Adviser determines that the use of the practical expedient is not appropriate as it will not result in a price that represents the current value of the Portfolio Fund’s investment. In such circumstances, the Investment Adviser will initiate a process to determine the fair value of the Company’s interest in such Portfolio Fund independently of the valuation provided by the Portfolio Fund, subject to review by the Board.

In making and reviewing a valuation, the Investment Adviser and the Board, respectively, take into consideration all reasonably available information and other factors deemed pertinent.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations, however, estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

FASB ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). FASB ASC 820-10-35-39 to 55 provides three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data;

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Investment Adviser’s perceived risk of that investment.

All of the Company’s investments in the Portfolio Funds have been classified within Level 3, and the Company generally does not hold any investments that could be classified as Level 1 or Level 2, as observable prices are typically not available.

Most Portfolio Funds are structured as closed-end, commitment-based private investment funds to which the Company commits a specified amount of capital upon inception of the Portfolio Fund (i.e., committed capital) which is then drawn down over a specified period of the Portfolio Fund's life. Such Portfolio Funds generally do not provide redemption options for investors and, subsequent to final closing, do not permit subscriptions by new or existing investors. Accordingly, the Company generally holds interests in Portfolio Funds for which there is no active market, although, in some situations, a transaction may occur in the “secondary market.” These interests, in the absence of a recent and relevant secondary market transaction, are generally classified as Level 3.

Assumptions used by the Investment Adviser due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The following table presents the investments carried on the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Equity - Net Assets by level within the valuation hierarchy as of September 30, 2014.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Totals	$	-	$	-	$	77,088,947	$	77,088,947

Valuation Process for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The Company generally uses the valuation reported by a Portfolio Fund as its valuation of such Portfolio Fund; however, adjustments to the reported valuation may be made in certain circumstances where such use is not applicable or inappropriate. In making a valuation determination, the Investment Adviser considers various factors, including, but not limited to, the Portfolio Fund’s valuation policies and practices, the Portfolio Fund’s investment portfolio or other assets and liabilities, the pricing of new rounds of financing by the underlying investments in the Portfolio Fund, any relevant operational or non-investment issues that may affect the Portfolio Fund, and the valuation of the same investments held by other Portfolio Funds. The valuation process for investments categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is completed on a quarterly basis and is designed to subject the valuation of Level 3 investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight and review. The Investment Adviser has responsibility for the valuation process and the fair value of investments reported in the financial statements. The Investment Adviser performs initial and ongoing investment monitoring and valuation assessments. The Investment Adviser’s due diligence process includes evaluating the operations and valuation procedures of the managers of the Portfolio Funds and the transparency of those processes through background and reference checks, attendance at investor meetings and periodic site visits. In determining the fair value of investments, the Investment Adviser reviews periodic investor reports and interim and annual audited financial statements received from the Portfolio Funds, reviews material quarter over quarter changes in valuation and assesses the impact of macro market factors on the performance of the Portfolio Funds. The Board reviews investment transactions and monitors performance of the managers of the Portfolio Funds. The fair value recommendations of the Investment Adviser are reviewed and ratified by the Board on a quarterly basis.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had investments in Portfolio Funds valued at $77,088,947. The fair value of investments valued at $75,686,207 in the Company’s Schedule of Investments has been valued at the unadjusted net asset value reported by the managers of the Portfolio Funds. The fair value of the investment valued at $1,402,740 in the Company’s Schedule of Investments has been valued at the net asset value reported by the managers of the Portfolio Funds, adjusted as necessary to account for differences in the basis of accounting utilized by the Portfolio Funds and GAAP.

The following table includes a rollforward of the amounts as of September 30, 2014 for investments classified within Level 3. The classification of an investment within Level 3 is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.

	Buyout/Growth			Special Situations			Venture Capital			Total
Balance as of April 1, 2014	$	41,489,988		$	8,706,986		$	13,935,725		$	64,132,699
Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments		(262,774	)		1,459,701			1,735,580			2,932,507
Net realized gain on investments		1,842,065			319,460			226,925			2,388,450
Contributions		8,183,741			2,998,493			3,625,000			14,807,234
Distributions		(5,331,255	)		(1,016,322	)		(824,366	)		(7,171,943	)
Balance as of September 30, 2014	$	45,921,765		$	12,468,318		$	18,698,864		$	77,088,947

The net change in unrealized appreciation relating to Level 3 investments still held as of September 30, 2014 is $2,932,507.

The Company recognizes transfers into and out of the levels indicated above at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the six months ended September 30, 2014.

All net realized and unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected in the accompanying Statement of Operations under Net Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain on Investments.

Most investments in the Portfolio Funds are closed-end investment vehicles, which provide no liquidity or redemption option and are not readily marketable. Additional information on the investments can be found in the Schedule of Investments.

The estimated remaining life of the Company’s Portfolio Funds as of September 30, 2014 is one to nine years, with the possibility of extensions by each of the Portfolio Funds.

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and short term investments which are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three months or less. At September 30, 2014, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents. UMB Bank N.A. serves as the Company’s custodian.

E. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

F. Investment Gains and Losses

The Company records distributions of cash or in-kind securities from the Portfolio Funds based on the information from distribution notices when distributions are received. The Company recognizes within the Statement of Operations its share of realized gains or (losses), the Company’s change in net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the Company’s share of net investment loss based upon information received regarding distributions from managers of the Portfolio Funds. The Company may also recognize realized losses based upon information received from the Portfolio Fund managers for write-offs taken in the underlying portfolio. Unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments within the Statement of Operations includes the Company’s share of interest and dividends, realized (but undistributed) and unrealized gains and losses on security transactions, and expenses of each Portfolio Fund.

The Company entered into an agreement with a third party seller of underlying Portfolio Funds to purchase their interests in those Portfolio Funds.  Based on the agreement, the third party seller is due to receive a payment if those underlying Portfolio Funds outperform a specific hurdle rate, up to a maximum payment of $599,578.  As of September 30, 2014, the total deferred contingent fee payable was $599,578.

The Portfolio Funds may make in-kind distributions to the Company and, particularly in the event of a dissolution of a Portfolio Fund, such distributions may contain securities that are not marketable. While the general policy of the Company will be to liquidate such investment and distribute proceeds to Members, under certain circumstances when deemed appropriate by the Board, a Member may receive in-kind distributions from the Company.

G. Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for tax reporting. Tax basis income and losses are passed through to Members and, accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes reflected in these financial statements. The Company has a tax year end of December 31.

Differences arise in the computation of Members’ capital for financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and Members’ capital for federal and state income tax reporting. These differences are primarily due to the fact that unrealized gains and losses are allocated for financial reporting purposes and are not allocated for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

Notes to the Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

The cost of the Portfolio Funds for federal income tax purposes is based on amounts reported to the Company on Schedule K-1 from the Portfolio Funds. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had not received information to determine the tax cost of the Portfolio Funds. Based on the amounts reported to the Company on Schedule K-1 as of December 31, 2013, and after adjustment for purchases and sales between December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the estimated cost of the Portfolio Funds at September 30, 2014, for federal income tax purposes aggregated $56,339,499. The net unrealized appreciation for federal income tax purposes was estimated to be $20,749,448. The net unrealized appreciation consisted of gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of $22,085,645 and $1,336,197, respectively.

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of December 31, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2011 forward (with limited exceptions). FASB ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes” requires the Investment Adviser to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The Investment Adviser has reviewed the Company’s tax positions for the open tax period and has concluded that no provision for taxes is required in the Company’s financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.

H. Contribution Policy

Capital contributions shall be credited to Members’ capital accounts and units shall be issued when paid. Capital contributions will be determined based on a percentage of commitments. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 6,089.75 units.

I. Distribution Policy

Distributions shall be made of available cash (net of reserves that the Board deems reasonable) or other net investment proceeds to Members at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion and in accordance with Members’ respective percentage interests, as defined in the LLC Agreement.

J. Restrictions on Transfers

Interests of the Company (“Interests”) are generally not transferable. No Member may assign, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its Interests without the prior written consent of the Board which may be granted or withheld in the Board’s sole discretion, and in compliance with applicable securities and tax laws.

K. Fees of the Portfolio Funds

Each Portfolio Fund will charge its investors (including the Company) expenses, including asset-based management fees and performance-based fees, which are referred to as an allocation of profits. In addition to the Company level expenses shown on the Company’s Statement of Operations, Members of the Company will indirectly bear the fees and expenses charged by the Portfolio Funds. These fees are reflected in the valuations of the Portfolio Funds and are not reflected in the ratios to average net assets in the Company’s Financial Highlights.

L. Company Expenses

The Company bears certain expenses not otherwise borne by the Investment Adviser, including, but not limited to, all investment-related expenses (including, but not limited to, fees paid directly or indirectly to Portfolio Fund managers, all costs and expenses directly related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Company’s account such as direct and indirect expenses associated with the Company’s investments and prospective investments, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with its investments in Portfolio Funds, transfer taxes and premiums, taxes withheld on foreign dividends); any non-investment related interest expense; fees and disbursements of any attorneys and accountants engaged on behalf of the Company; audit and tax preparation fees and expenses; administrative expenses and fees; custody and escrow fees and expenses; the costs of an errors and omissions/directors and officers liability insurance policy and a fidelity bond; the Advisory Fee payable to the Investment Adviser; fees and travel-related expenses of the Board who are not employees of the Investment Adviser or any affiliate of the Investment Adviser; all costs and charges for equipment or services used in communicating information regarding the Company’s transactions among the Investment Adviser and any custodian or other agent engaged by the Company; any extraordinary expenses; and such other expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board. Expenses, including incentive fees and allocations, of the Portfolio Funds are not broken out separately on the accompanying Statement of Operations, and are not included in the expense ratios shown in the accompanying Financial Highlights of the Company.  The income and expenses of the Portfolio Funds are, however, included in realized and unrealized gains on investments on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

M. Foreign Currency Translation

The Company has foreign investments which require the Company to translate these investments into U.S. dollars. For foreign investments for which the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the fair values of the investments are translated into the U.S. dollar using period end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.

Contributed capital to and distributions received from these foreign Portfolio Funds are translated into the U.S. dollar using exchange rates on the date of the transaction.

Conversion gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the Statement of Operations. Although Members’ Equity - Net Assets of the Company is presented at the exchange rates and values prevailing at the end of the period, the Company does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates on investment transactions from the fluctuations arising from changes in the fair value of these investments.

3. Advisory Fee, Administration Fee and Related Party Transactions

The Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company and incurs research, travel and other expenses related to the selection and monitoring of Portfolio Funds.  Further, the Investment Adviser provides certain management and administrative services to the TI Fund and the TE Fund, including providing office space and other support services, maintaining files and records, and preparing and filing various regulatory materials. In consideration for such services, the Company pays the Investment Adviser an investment advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) quarterly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.0% as follows: (i) during the period from the initial closing until the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing, based on the total capital commitments (the “Underlying Commitments”) entered into by the Company with respect to investments in the Portfolio Funds; and (ii) beginning on the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing and thereafter, based on the net asset value of the Company. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred Advisory Fees totaling $751,791.

The Investment Adviser has voluntarily reduced its Advisory Fee and/or Management Fee to the extent necessary to ensure that the combined Advisory Fee and Management Fee paid does not exceed the amount that would have been paid using the annual rate of 1.5% of total commitments from Members, measured over the life of the Company. Any such fee reduction will not, however, impact the Investment Adviser’s right to receive incentive carried interest, if any.

Certain general and administrative expenses, such as occupancy and personnel costs, are borne by Bank of America or other affiliates and are not reflected in these financial statements.

Pursuant to an Administrative and Accounting Services Agreement, the Company retains UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator”), formerly known as J.D. Clark & Company, a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation, to provide administration, accounting, tax preparation and investor services to the Company. In consideration for these services, the Company pays the Administrator a variable fee between 0.01% and 0.02%, based on average quarterly net assets subject to a minimum quarterly fee. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred administration fees totaling $35,191.

The Board consists of five managers, each of whom is not an “interested person” of the Company as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Managers”). The Independent Managers are each paid an annual retainer of $40,000. Compensation to the Board is paid and expensed by the Company on a quarterly basis. The Independent Managers are also reimbursed for out of pocket expenses in connection with providing their services to the Company. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $100,000 in Independent Managers’ fees.

4. Capital Commitments from Members

At September 30, 2014, capital commitments from Members totaled $149,947,465. Capital contributions received by the Company with regard to satisfying Member commitments totaled $57,879,722, which represents 38.6% of committed capital at September 30, 2014.

5. Allocations of Capital and Net Profits or Net Losses to Members

The net profits or net losses of the Company are allocated to Members in a manner that takes into account the amount of cash that would be distributed based upon a hypothetical liquidation, such that allocations are based on Members’ percentage interests, as defined in the LLC Agreement.

6. Capital Commitments of the Company to Portfolio Funds

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had total capital commitments of $150,936,119 to the Portfolio Funds with remaining unfunded commitments to the Portfolio Funds totaling $78,686,856 as listed below:

Portfolio Funds:	Unfunded Commitment
Buyout/Growth	$	49,328,535
Special Situations		13,350,176
Venture Capital		16,008,145
Total	$	78,686,856

7. Description of the Portfolio Funds

Due to the nature of the Portfolio Funds, the Company cannot liquidate its positions in the Portfolio Funds except through distributions from the Portfolio Funds, which are made at the discretion of the Portfolio Funds. The Company has no right to demand repayment of its investment in the Portfolio Funds.

The following Portfolio Funds represent 5% or more of Members’ Equity – Net Assets of the Company. Thus, the Portfolio Funds’ investment objectives are disclosed below.

Advent International GPE VII-B, L.P. represents 7.91% of Members’ Equity – Net Assets of the Company as of September 30, 2014. The objective of Advent International GPE VII-B, L.P. is to provide risk capital for, and make investments in the development stage and other small and medium sized businesses primarily in Europe and North America.

Apax US VII, L.P. represents 10.27% of Members’ Equity – Net Assets of the Company as of September 30, 2014. The objective of Apax US VII, L.P. is to seek long-term capital growth through the provision of risk capital.

Green Equity Investors VI, L.P. represents 5.35% of Members’ Equity – Net Assets of the Company as of September 30, 2014. The objective of Green Equity Investors VI, L.P. is long-term equity appreciation, principally through equity and equity-related investments in established businesses acquired in management buyouts or other transactions generally on a leveraged basis.

Lightspeed Venture Partners IX, L.P. represents 5.72% of Members’ Equity – Net Assets of the Company as of September 30, 2014. The objective of Lightspeed Venture Partners IX, L.P. is realizing capital appreciation through investments in securities issued primarily in start-ups, early-stage, development and expansion-stage companies engaged, or to be engaged, in business in the technology area.

Thomas H. Lee Equity Fund VI, L.P. represents 9.16% of Members’ Equity – Net Assets of the Company as of September 30, 2014. The objective of Thomas H. Lee Equity Fund VI, L.P. is to make equity investments in friendly management-led acquisitions and recapitalizations.

8. Indemnifications

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

Many of the Portfolio Funds’ partnership agreements contain provisions that allow them to recycle or recall distributions made to the Company. Accordingly, the unfunded commitments disclosed under Note 6 reflect both amounts undrawn to satisfy commitments and distributions that are recallable, as applicable.

9. Concentrations of Market, Credit, Liquidity, Industry, Currency and Capital Call Risk

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the difference could be material. The Company’s investments are subject, directly or indirectly, to various risk factors including market, credit, industry, currency and capital call risk. Certain investments are made internationally, which may subject the investments to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions affecting such countries or regions. Market risk represents the potential loss in value of financial instruments caused by movements in market variables, such as interest and foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The Company may have a concentration of investments, as permitted by its registration statement, in a particular industry or sector. Investment performance of the sector may have a significant impact on the performance of the Company. The Company’s investments are also subject to the risk associated with investing in private equity securities. The investments in private equity securities are illiquid, can be subject to various restrictions on resale, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize the value of such investments in a timely manner, if at all.

Notes to the Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

The Company believes that its liquidity and capital resources are adequate to satisfy its operational needs as well as the continuation of its investment program.

This portfolio strategy presents a high degree of business and financial risk due to the nature of underlying companies in which the Portfolio Funds invest, which may include entities with little operating history, minimal capitalization, operations in new or developing industries, and concentration of investments in one industry or geographical area.

Further, a significant portion of the Portfolio Fund assets may become investments in public securities through initial public offerings and acquisitions by public companies. These securities may be subject to restrictions, which may prevent the immediate resale of these securities by the Portfolio Funds. These securities may be subject to substantial market volatility which could impact the Portfolio Funds’ valuations.

The Portfolio Funds may invest in certain financial instruments which may contain varying degrees of off balance sheet credit, interest and market risks. As a result, the Company may be subject indirectly to such risks through its investment in the Portfolio Funds. However, due to the nature of the Company’s investments in Portfolio Funds, such risks are limited to the Company’s capital balance in each such Portfolio Fund.

If the Company defaults on its commitment or fails to satisfy capital calls, it will be subject to significant penalties, including the complete forfeiture of the Company’s investment in the Portfolio Fund. This may impair the ability of the Company to pursue its investment program, force the Company to borrow or otherwise impair the value of the Company’s investments (including the complete devaluation of the Company). In addition, defaults by Members on their commitments to the Company, may cause the Company to, in turn, default on its commitment to a Portfolio Fund. In this case, the Company, and especially the non-defaulting Members, will bear the penalties of such default as outlined above. While the Investment Adviser has taken steps to mitigate this risk, there is no guarantee that such measures will be sufficient or successful.

10. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events subsequent to the balance sheet date of September 30, 2014, through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events that require disclosure.

Advisory Agreement Approval

The Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Investment Adviser provides that, after an initial term of two years, it may be continued in effect year-to-year subject to approval by: (i) the Board or (ii) vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, as defined by the Investment Company Act, of the Company; provided that, in either event, the continuance must also be approved by the Independent Managers who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act, of the Company, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The continuance of the Advisory Agreement for an additional annual period was approved by the Board, and by the Independent Managers, at a meeting held in person on June 19, 2014. The Independent Managers were assisted in their review of this matter by independent legal counsel and met in an executive session with such counsel separate from representatives of the Investment Adviser.

In determining whether to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all information it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed materials furnished by the Investment Adviser, including information regarding the Investment Adviser, its affiliates, personnel, operations and financial condition. Independent legal counsel reviewed with the Board its duties and responsibilities under state and common law and under the Investment Company Act, with respect to the approval of the Advisory Agreement.

Independent legal counsel reviewed with the Board the Securities and Exchange Commission regulation requiring disclosure in shareholder reports of certain material factors and conclusions of the fund boards in approving and renewing advisory contracts. Independent legal counsel discussed with the Board the responsibilities of the Board in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreement and described the standards and factors applicable to the approval and annual renewal of advisory contracts. Independent legal counsel also reviewed the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Jones v. Harris Associates, L.P. (“Jones”). Independent legal counsel also reviewed the factors that should be considered by the Board in connection with their review of the Advisory Agreement, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Company and the Investment Adviser; (iii) the costs of services provided and profits realized by the Investment Adviser from its relationship with the Company; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Company grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect any such economies of scale for the benefit of investors. Independent legal counsel noted that the Board could attribute different weights to different factors as they may consider appropriate. It was added that, consistent with the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones, the Board should be cautious of inapt comparisons between the fee structure of the Company to those of other funds advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates, as well as between the fee structure of the Company and fees charged by funds not managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates with similar investment programs. As to the former, independent legal counsel explained that the Supreme Court stated that the Investment Company Act does not necessarily ensure fee parity between clients and that there may be legitimate differences in fees as a result of differences in the types of services provided. With respect to the latter, counsel noted that the Supreme Court observed that such comparisons can be problematic because fees charged by other advisers may not be the product of arm’s length negotiations. Nevertheless, independent legal counsel observed that such comparisons, when considered with the totality of information provided, may add helpful context to the Board’s assessment of the reasonableness of the fees.

Independent legal counsel explained that one of the key responsibilities assigned to the Board is the obligation to exercise a “duty of care” in selecting and supervising the Investment Adviser. Independent legal counsel said the Investment Company Act assigns to the Board and, in particular, to the Independent Managers, special duties in order to mitigate any conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the management of the Company, including the duty to review and approve the investment advisory arrangements. Independent legal counsel noted that the Board must exercise reasonable business judgment and must act solely in the best interests of the Company, and that these responsibilities are particularly important when reviewing compensation or fees paid by the Company to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including management fees.

The Board discussed and reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services that the Investment Adviser provides to the Company. It also discussed the structure and capabilities of the Investment Adviser, including technology and operational support, which support the services provided to the Company. The Board agreed that the Company benefits from these services, and assessed the nature, scope and quality of services provided to the Company by the Investment Adviser as indicated by the materials and information provided to the Board. In doing so, the Board considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive administrative and compliance infrastructure. Representatives of the Investment Adviser confirmed to the Board that the Investment Adviser has adequate resources to deliver all required services to the Company.

The Board also reviewed and discussed the experience and qualifications of key personnel of the Investment Adviser and reviewed biographical information regarding such personnel. The Board also considered the financial information and other information provided to it regarding the Investment Adviser and Bank of America. After these discussions, the Board noted their overall satisfaction with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Investment Adviser and concluded that the Company was receiving all services required from the Investment Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, and that the quality of these services was satisfactory.

The Board considered information relating to the quality of services provided by the Investment Adviser, including performance information about the Company. The Board reviewed the performance of the Company relative to that of comparable registered funds and concluded that the performance of the Company compared favorably with the funds of its type, noting that there were relatively few registered funds with similar investment programs.

The Board then reviewed information provided to it comparing the fees and expenses of the Company to those of other similar registered funds. A discussion ensued regarding the fees charged and services provided under the Advisory Agreement. The Board determined that the fees and expense ratios of the Company are within the range of the fees and expense ratios of similar funds, but considered the admonition in Jones about relying too heavily on fee comparisons.

The Board reviewed the costs of providing services and the profits realized by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, resulting from their relationship with the Company for the past fiscal year (the “Profitability Analysis”). The Board reviewed and discussed the information contained in the Profitability Analysis, including the nature and amount of expenses allocated to the Company and profits realized by the Investment Adviser. It was noted by representatives of the Investment Adviser that the Investment Adviser had not received any significant indirect benefits from its relationship with the Company. After reviewing the information contained in the Profitability Analysis, and other information discussed at the meeting, the Board determined that the profitability relating to the Company was not so disproportionately large that it bore no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and also determined that, given the overall performance of the Company and the Investment Adviser’s service levels, the current profitability of the Investment Adviser resulting from its relationships with the Company was not excessive.

The Board also reviewed economies of scale with respect to the Company. The Board considered the fact that economies of scale are realized when a fund’s assets increase significantly. The Board accepted management’s assertion that during the past year the Company had not experienced significant growth nor reached such level of net assets for the Investment Adviser to realize new economies of scale that could be shared with members of the Company.

The Board also continued its review in an executive session. Based on the information provided to the Board, and the considerations and conclusions described above, the Board, including each of the Independent Managers, determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its members for the Investment Adviser to continue to serve as the investment adviser and to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for an additional annual period.
