VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION: The net asset value ("NAV") of the Common Shares of First Trust/Four Corners Senior Floating Rate Income Fund II (the "Fund") is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Domestic debt securities and foreign securities are priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. The NAV per Common Share is calculated by dividing the value of all assets of the Fund (including accrued interest), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses, dividends declared but unpaid and any borrowings of the Fund) and the liquidation value of any outstanding Preferred Shares, by the total number of Common Shares outstanding. The Fund's investments are valued daily at market value or, in the absence of market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value according to valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. A majority of the Fund's assets are valued using market information supplied by third parties. In the event that market quotations are not readily available, the pricing service does not provide a valuation for a particular asset, or the valuations are deemed unreliable, the Fund's Board of Trustees has designated First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust") to use a fair value method to value the Fund's securities and other investments. Additionally, if events occur after the close of the principal market for particular securities (e.g., domestic debt and foreign securities), but before the Fund values its assets, that could materially affect NAV, First Trust may use a fair value method to value the Fund's securities and other investments. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund is governed by valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, and in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). The Senior Floating-Rate Loans ("Senior Loans") in which the Fund invests are not listed on any securities exchange or board of trade. Senior Loans are typically bought and sold by institutional investors in individually negotiated private transactions that function in many respects like an over-the-counter secondary market, although typically no formal market-makers exist. This market, while having grown substantially in the past several years, generally has fewer trades and less liquidity than the secondary market for other types of securities. Some Senior Loans have few or no trades, or trade infrequently, and information regarding a specific Senior Loan may not be widely available or may be incomplete. Accordingly, determinations of the market value of Senior Loans may be based on infrequent and dated information. Because there is less reliable, objective data available, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation of Senior Loans than for other types of securities. Typically, Senior Loans are valued using information provided by a third party pricing service. If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular Senior Loan or such valuation is deemed unreliable, First Trust may value such Senior Loan at a fair value according to valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, and in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act. Portfolio securities listed on any exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on such day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price as determined by NASDAQ. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Portfolio securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities traded on the NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices. Short-term investments that mature in less than 60 days when purchased are valued at amortized cost. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 became effective for the Fund as of June 1, 2008, the beginning of its current fiscal year. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are as follows: o Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities o Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) o Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Page 11 NOTES TO QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) FIRST TRUST/FOUR CORNERS SENIOR FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND II FEBRUARY 28, 2009 (UNAUDITED) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of February 28, 2009 is included with the Fund's Portfolio of Investments. B. CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS: The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging purposes or to gain exposure to a credit in which the Fund may otherwise invest. A credit default swap contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. The Fund may be either the buyer or seller in a credit default swap transaction. The "buyer" in a credit default swap contract is obligated to pay the "seller" a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on the underlying reference obligation has occurred. If an event of default occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value, or "par value," of the reference obligation. In exchange, the seller receives the par value of securities of the reference obligor. In the case of cash settlement, the seller will pay the difference between par and the market value of the securities of the reference obligor. An event of default may be a grace period extension, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, or restructuring. Buying a credit default swap contract involves the risk that the contract may expire worthless and the credit risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund in the event of default. Selling a credit default swap contract involves greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. The Fund will segregate cash or liquid assets in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the credit default swap contracts of which it is a seller. Additionally, the Fund maintains cash or liquid assets for the full notional amount of the credit default swap contracts of which it is a seller. The Fund may only enter into such transactions with counterparties rated A- or higher. Credit default swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). For a credit default swap contract sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed-upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. As of February 28, 2009, the Fund had no credit default swaps. C. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund engages in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the Fund's holding period. The value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The Fund reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks. As of February 28, 2009, the Fund had no open repurchase agreements. D. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income on such securities is not accrued until settlement date. The Fund maintains liquid assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments. At February 28, 2009, the Fund had no when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments. E. UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS: The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund had unfunded loan commitments of approximately $558,168 as of February 28, 2009. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrower's discretion. Page 12 NOTES TO QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) FIRST TRUST/FOUR CORNERS SENIOR FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND II FEBRUARY 28, 2009 (UNAUDITED) F. RESTRICTED SECURITIES: The Fund invests in restricted securities, which are securities that cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Prior to registration, restricted securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration. The Fund held restricted securities at February 28, 2009 as shown in the following table. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. These securities are valued according to the valuation procedures as stated in the Portfolio Valuation footnote (Note 1A) and are not expressed as a discount to the carrying value of a comparable unrestricted security. There are no unrestricted securities with the same maturity dates and yields for these issuers. % OF NET ASSETS APPLICABLE ACQUISITION PRINCIPAL VALUE CURRENT TO COMMON SECURITY DATE VALUE/SHARES PER SHARE CARRYING COST VALUE SHAREHOLDERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HRP Myrtle Beach 3/23/06 $1,225,000 $ 0.00 $ 1,225,000 $ 0.00 0.00% TOUSA, Inc.-Notes 7/31/07(1) $ 727,273 0.00 436,364 0.00 0.00 TOUSA, Inc.-Preferred Stocks 7/31/07(1) 4,273 0.00 2,563,636 0.00 0.00 ---------------------------------------- $ 4,225,000 $ 0.00 0.00% ======================================== (1) Security was acquired through a restructuring that was effective on July 31, 2007.
