I just posted this on Yahoo,

Looks like HealthSPAC, LLC is part of the EQUUS portfolio. Equus financials look pretty sound and probably did better DD than most of us do to include HealthSPAC.

From the 10-K ( http://biz.yahoo.com/e/090331/eqs10-k.html )

Possible Share Repurchase. As a closed-end business development company, the Fund's shares of common stock are not redeemable at the option of stockholders, and its shares currently trade at a discount to their net asset value. The Fund's board of directors has determined that it would be in the best interests of its stockholders to reduce or eliminate this market value discount. Accordingly, the Fund has been authorized to, and may from time to time, repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock (including by means of tender offers or privately negotiated transactions) in an effort to reduce or eliminate this market discount or to increase the net asset value of the Fund's shares. The Fund is not required to undertake any such share repurchases.

Another interesting paragraph from the 10K

Management is currently evaluating the impact of current market conditions on its portfolio company valuations and their ability to provide current income. Management has followed valuation techniques in a consistent manner; however, it is cognizant of current market conditions that might effect future valuations of portfolio securities. If necessary to meet the Fund's investment commitments of $4.2 million, the Fund has a secured $7.5 million revolving line of credit facility with Amegy Bank. The Fund has not yet borrowed under this facility. The Fund believes that its operating cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet operating requirements and to finance routine capital expenditures through the next twelve months.

This one looks pretty good IMO.
