Appendix 5
ENDNOTES
Except as otherwise expressly noted, all performance information contained herein, including rates of return, is as of March 31, 2014 and is unaudited. The performance information is based on the cumulative invested capital, cumulative cash dividends and realized and unrealized sales proceeds in portfolio companies. Where designated as "gross", the performance information is presented on a gross basis with regard to expenses and does not reflect deductions for any management fees, the general partner's carried interest or other expenses. Where designated as "net", the performance information is presented on a net basis after giving effect to management fees, the general partner's carried interest and other expenses. Please refer to Section III: "Summary of Historical Investment Performance" and the endnotes below for a more detailed description of the performance of the NLV-I, NLV-II and the Sprout Funds. An investment in the Fund does not represent an interest in any indicated investment or any investment portfolio of any related or other investment fund, including any investment or fund managed by the Fund Managers. Disclosure of past performance herein is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of future results.
A The financial data contained herein relating to the valuations and investment performance of NLV-I, NLV-II, the Sprout Funds and their investments (including the I.C. portfolio thereof) are estimates prepared by NLV as of March 31, 2014, and have not been audited. The vintage year of each fund represents the first year that an investment in a portfolio company was either committed to or funded. While NLV's valuations of unrealized investments are based on assumptions that NLV believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of the sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the valuations used in the prior performance data contained herein are based. Accordingly, the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially and adversely from the (assumed) returns indicated herein. Past performance is not indicative of future results. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve results comparable to those shown herein, will be able to avoid losses or will be able to achieve its investment objectives. Except as specifically noted, all performance information contained herein is on a "gross" basis before giving effect to management fees, the general partner's carried interest, taxes and other expenses, the application of which would reduce such prior performance and indicated rates of return. Except as otherwise indicated, performance information is for NLV-I, NLV-II and the Fund Managers' investments in the Sprout Funds. While the Fund Managers initiated, led, co-led, managed or were otherwise instrumental in the identification, negotiation, execution and/or management of these investments (as further described herein), other individuals, including individuals from Sprout Group with respect to the Sprout Funds, were involved in and assisted with these investments.
B Rates of return for public indices are provided for informational purposes only and do not reflect a basis for comparison for venture capital interests, as the market volatility, liquidity and other characteristics of venture capital investments are materially different from public indices. The S&P 500 Stock Index is an unmanaged market capitalization of 500 U.S. equities
