(a) “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien interest and pay interest at rates that are periodically determined on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. Unless otherwise identified, all Senior Loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks and/or (iii) the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. The rate shown represents the weighted average rate at March 31, 2013. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.
(b) Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.
(c) Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.
(d) All or a portion of this position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date.
(e) Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At March 31, 2013, these securities amounted to $19,816,183 or 6.7% of net assets.
(f) Non-accrual status.
(g) Floating rate asset. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at March 31, 2013.
(h) Cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes is identical to book basis. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments are as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 9,323,808      

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (9,283,432

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.

Notes to Schedule of Investments

As of March 31, 2013 (unaudited)

Security Valuation

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) values its investments primarily using the mean price based on valuations provided by approved independent third party pricing services. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the valuations provided by the primary pricing sources are believed to be unreliable are valued at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”). In general, the fair value of a security is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the reporting date. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where Apollo Credit Management, LLC, the investment adviser, reasonably believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotes not to reflect the fair value of the security. Examples of these events could include situations in which material events are announced after the close of the market on which a security is primarily traded, when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale, or in the event of a “fire sale” by a distressed seller.

Senior loans and corporate notes and bonds are priced based on valuations provided by approved independent, third-party pricing services or brokers, if available. If a price is not available from an independent, third-party pricing service or broker, or if the price provided by the independent third-party pricing service or broker is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures can, but are not obligated to, take into account any factors deemed relevant, which may include, among others, (i) the nature and pricing history of the security, (ii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the particular security, (iii) recent purchases or sales transactions for the particular security or similar securities, (iv) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available and considered reliable and (v) press releases and other information published about the issuer. In these cases, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined in the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates.

There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Fund’s investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, but are valued based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date; and

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Fund has obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

At the end of each reporting period, management evaluates the Level 2 and Level 3 assets, if any, for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market.

Notes to Schedule of Investments (continued)

As of March 31, 2013 (unaudited)

 

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value at March 31, 2013 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. All investments at March 31, 2013 were valued using prices provided by an approved third party pricing service and/or broker quotes. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. A summary of the levels of the Fund’s investment securities as of March 31, 2013 are as follows:

Investments were transferred out of and into Level 3 and into/from Level 2 due to changes in the quantity and quality of information obtained to support the fair value of each investment as assessed by Apollo Credit Management, LLC and its affiliates. Net change in unrealized gains (losses) attributable to Level 3 investments still held at March 31, 2013 was $957,043.
