−Removed: Nature of Business and Significant Accounting
−Removed: provides services that help clients become stronger innovators, develop compelling strategies to drive and catalyze growth, rapidly source externally developed technologies, create value from their intellectual property and gain foresight into
−Removed: marketplace and technology developments that affect their business.
−Removed: These services are primarily provided throughout the United States and the United Kingdom.
−Removed: The Company is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
−Removed: Innovation Consulting
−Removed: Company provides strategic innovation consulting services to clients to help them become more efficient by finding new avenues to growth, fighting commoditization, improving return on investment, transforming the organization, and removing barriers
−Removed: to innovation.
−Removed: The process involves our clients working with a handful of seasoned and experienced professionals capable of unlocking an organizations capacity for strategy and innovation.
−Removed: In addition, the Company provides services to clients that build the capacity for foresight, including monitoring trends, researching topics of interest,
−Removed: forecasting alternative scenarios, developing technology roadmaps, creating growth platforms and embedding futures thinking within the organization.
−Removed: The Company also offers innovative futures programs that provide clients with up-to-the-minute
−Removed: knowledge, expert insight, high-level learning experiences, and opportunities to network with experts and peers.
+Added: Withdrawal of the Companys Election to be Treated as a Business Development Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940
+Added: Until September 30, 2009, the Company was a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that had elected to be treated as
+Added: a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act).
+Added: On October 1, 2009, the Company filed a notification on Form N-54C with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
+Added: withdrawing its election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
+Added: As such, the Company began reporting as an operating company as of October 1, 2009.
+Added: Based on the Companys current business focus and the fact that the equity interests it holds have constituted a declining amount of its assets over the last couple of years, the Company determined
+Added: that it no longer met the requirements to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
+Added: In this regard, the Companys current business focus is to provide consulting and technology transfer services to companies in exchange for cash as opposed to
+Added: equity interests.
+Added: Thus, because of the Companys current business focus of providing consulting and technology transfer services to companies in exchange for cash as opposed to equity interests, as well as the fact that the Company no longer
+Added: holds the requisite level of investment securities (as this term is defined in the 1940 Act) to permit it to be an investment company under the 1940 Act and, as a result, be regulated as a BDC, the Company is operating, and
+Added: intends to continue to operate, as an operating company rather than an investment company.
+Added: Accordingly, and after careful
+Added: consideration of the requirements applicable to BDCs under the 1940 Act, the cost of compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and a thorough assessment of the Companys current business model, the Companys Board of Directors
+Added: determined that the Company should withdraw its election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
+Added: Under its current
+Added: business model, the Company intends at all times to conduct its activities in such a way that it will not be deemed an investment company subject to regulation under the 1940 Act.
+Added: Thus, the Company will not hold itself out as being
+Added: engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities.
+Added: In addition, the Company intends to conduct its business in a manner so that it will at no time own or propose to acquire investment securities having a value
+Added: exceeding 40% of the Companys total assets at any one time.
+Added: As a result of our de-election from BDC status, we make
+Added: reference to both Investment Company Accounting and Operating Company Accounting throughout these consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Investment Company Accounting, as we refer to it, is defined as accounting in accordance with U.S.
+Added: accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for investment companies under the 1940 Act.
+Added: Operating Company Accounting, as we refer to it, is defined as accounting in accordance with US GAAP other than for investment companies under the
+Added: As an operating company, the Company is required to consolidate UTEK Real Estate Holdings, Inc.
+Added: subsidiaries:
+Added: Ybor City Group, Inc., 22nd Street of Ybor City, Inc., ABM of Tampa Bay, Inc., and Cortez 114, LLC (collectively UTEK Real Estate).
+Added: Under Investment Company Accounting, the fair value of UTEK Real Estate was included in the
+Added: Companys portfolio investments and the operating results of these companies were not consolidated with those of the Company.
+Added: The assets, liabilities and results of operations of UTEK Real Estate have been included in the Companys
+Added: consolidated financial statements from October 1, 2009.
+Added: As of October 1, 2009, none of the Companys other investments are greater than 20% of the outstanding equity interests of any individual company, and accordingly, consolidation
+Added: is not required for these investments.
+Added: The change in reporting did not have a material affect on the Companys net loss
+Added: from operations, net loss or related per share amounts for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
+Added: Conversion from Investment Company Presentation to Operating Company Presentation
+Added: ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
+Added: UTEK was required to make the accounting change at the time that it no longer met the requirements of the 1940 Act and filed its Form N-54C with the SEC withdrawing its election to be treated as a BDC
+Added: under the 1940 Act.
+Added: The Company has applied the change as of October 1, 2009, which is the first date that it was no longer appropriate for the Company to use Investment Company Accounting.
+Added: The Companys change in financial statement presentation from fair value Investment Company Accounting to Operating Company Accounting
+Added: has been accounted for as the initial adoption of or modification of an accounting principle resulting from a change in events or transactions as contemplated by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
+Added: Codification (ASC) 250-10-45-1.
+Added: The Companys change to Operating Company Accounting is clearly different in substance from that previously occurring under Investment Company Accounting.
+Added: This is not considered to be a change in
+Added: accounting principle.
+Added: In accordance with this view, the Company applied the adoption of accounting as an operating company prospectively beginning October 1, 2009.
+Added: ASC Topic 946, Investment Companies
+Added: As there was limited authoritative
+Added: guidance on accounting for the transition from a BDC to an operating company, the Company reviewed the guidance in ASC Topic 946 Financial ServicesInvestment Companies .
+Added: The Company relied on the guidance in Topic 946, a significant
+Added: portion of which has been delayed indefinitely.
+Added: The guidance that has been delayed is not US GAAP and is considered nonauthoritative.
+Added: The initial determination of whether UTEK was an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 was made upon formation of the Company.
+Added: Reconsideration of the provisions of Topic 946 by the
+Added: Companys Board of Directors during 2009 resulted in the determination that continuation as a BDC was inappropriate.
+Added: ASC 946-10-15-5 (delayed) dictates companies that no longer meet the conditions of an investment company should discontinue
+Added: application of Topic 946 and report the change in status prospectively by accounting for its investments in conformity with applicable US GAAP other than Investment Company Accounting, beginning as of the date of the change using fair value in
+Added: conformity with Investment Company Accounting at the date of the change as the carrying amount of investments at the date of the change.
+Added: In accordance with this guidance, the Company reported a change in status and began reporting as an operating
+Added: company as of October 1, 2009.
+Added: In addition, the fair value of the Companys investments as of September 30, 2009 became their cost basis under Operating Company Accounting beginning on October 1, 2009.
+Added: Presentation of Financial Statements
+Added: The Company made the following adjustments in order to present two years of financial statements together for which the years include two different methods of accounting.
+Added: Changes made to the accompanying
+Added: consolidated balance sheet / consolidated statement of assets and liabilities include the following:
+Added: The balance sheet was reformatted as of December 31, 2009 to a classified balance sheet presentation in accordance with Operating Company
+Added: The investment in UTEK Real Estate Holdings, Inc., which was included as a portfolio investment under Investment Company Accounting, was eliminated and
+Added: this companys balance sheet is consolidated with UTEK as of the date of change of October 1, 2009 pursuant to Operating Company Accounting.
+Added: Investments are now presented as certificates of deposit and either available-for-sale securities or investments under cost method in accordance with
+Added: ASC Topic 320 InvestmentsDebt and Equity Securities and ASC Topic 325 InvestmentsOther .

+Added: Accumulated income (loss) under Investment Company Accounting includes earnings through September 30, 2009.
+Added: Accumulated income (deficit) under Operating Company Accounting includes earnings incurred subsequent to the date of change
+Added: of October 1, 2009.
+Added: Changes made to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations include the
+Added: Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 were segregated into two columns in the consolidated statements of operations to properly report
+Added: results of operations in accordance with the accounting in effect during the respective periods.
+Added: The nine months ended September 30, 2009 are presented in investment company format and the three months ended December 31, 2009 are presented

+Added: transactions, including intercompany borrowings and rent, are eliminated in consolidation for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
+Added: Through September 31, 2009, UTEK Real Estate is included as one of the Companys portfolio
+Added: companies and the fair value of this company is included in the Companys portfolio investments.
+Added: Certain balances reported under Investment Company Accounting are not applicable to an operating company and are not included subsequent to the date of
+Added: change of October 1, 2009.
+Added: These include investment income, net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments.
+Added: Under Operating Company Accounting, income and losses from these
+Added: sources are classified as follows:
+Added: Investment income is included in other (income) expense or interest expense, net, depending on its source.
+Added: Realized gains (losses) on investments are included in other (income) expense.
+Added: Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities are reported in operating company equity as a component of accumulated other
+Added: comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheet.
+Added: Other changes include the following:
+Added: The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Schedule of Investments in and Advances to Affiliates, as well as Selected Per Share Data
+Added: and Ratios under Investment Company Accounting included in Note 16, are included only through September 30, 2009 as they are requirements under Investment Company Accounting.
+Added: Therefore, certain balances as shown will agree to the Companys
+Added: quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as opposed to the current financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
+Added: The Consolidated Schedule of Investments is presented only for the year ended December 31, 2008.

+Added: interests in portfolio companies for which market quotations are readily available is based on the public market price on the balance sheet date.
+Added: These securities are generally thinly traded and/or carry discounts from the public market value for
+Added: certain restrictions on resale.
+Added: The Board of Directors based its determination upon, among other things, applicable
+Added: quantitative and qualitative factors.
+Added: These factors included, but were not limited to, type of securities, nature of business, marketability, market price of unrestricted securities of the same issue (if any), comparative valuation of securities of

+Added: The Company must determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other than temporary.

+Added: judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security will be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the impairment will be included in earnings as a realized loss.
+Added: The new cost basis cannot be
+Added: adjusted upwards for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
+Added: Investments under cost method were considered for impairment at December 31, 2009.

+Added: Topic 820 provides an illustrative
+Added: example of how to determine the fair value of a financial asset in an inactive market.
+Added: Topic 820 does not change the fair value measurement principles set forth in the original literature.
+Added: Since adopting Topic 820 in January 2008, UTEKs
+Added: practices for determining the fair value of its investment portfolio have been, and continue to be, consistent with the guidance provided in the example in Topic 820 and Topic 825, Financial Instruments .
+Added: Therefore, UTEKs adoption of
+Added: Topics 820 and 825 did not affect its practices for determining the fair value of its investments and did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
+Added: In April 2009, the FASB amended ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations .
+Added: Topic 805 establishes a model to account for certain
+Added: pre-acquisition contingencies.
+Added: Under Topic 805, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or
+Added: liability can be determined during the measurement period.
+Added: If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, then the acquirer should follow the recognition criteria in ASC Topic 450, Contingencies , and ASC Topic 450-20, Loss
+Added: Contingencies .
+Added: Topic 805 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009, and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed subsequent to that date.
+Added: The impact of the adoption of Topic 805 will depend on the nature of
+Added: acquisitions completed after the date of adoption.

+Added: All of the Codifications
+Added: content carries the same level of authority, and the US GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels:
+Added: authoritative and nonauthoritative.
+Added: Topic 105 was effective for the Company as of July 1, 2009 and did not have a material
+Added: effect on its consolidated financial statements.
+Added: In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides
+Added: amendments to previous guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities.
+Added: This standard clarifies the characteristics that identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and changes how a reporting entity identifies a primary
+Added: beneficiary that would consolidate the VIE from a quantitative risk and rewards calculation to a qualitative approach based on which variable interest holder has controlling financial interest and the ability to direct the most significant
+Added: activities that impact the VIEs economic performance.
+Added: This standard requires the primary beneficiary assessment to be performed on a continuous basis.
+Added: It also requires additional disclosures about an entitys involvement with a
+Added: VIE, restrictions on the VIEs assets and liabilities that are included in the reporting entitys consolidated balance sheet, significant risk exposures due to the entitys involvement with the VIE, and how its involvement with a VIE
+Added: impacts the reporting entitys consolidated financial statements.
+Added: The standard was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010 and did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
+Added: In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 (previously exposed for comments as proposed FSP FAS 157-f) to provide guidance on measuring the
+Added: fair value of liabilities under ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures .
+Added: ASU 2009-05 clarifies that the quoted price for the identical liability, when traded as an asset in an active market, is also a Level 1 measurement for
+Added: that liability when no adjustment to the quoted price is required.
+Added: In the absence of a Level 1 measurement, an entity must use certain valuation techniques to estimate fair value.
+Added: ASU 2009-05 was effective for the Company on October 1, 2009 and
+Added: did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
+Added: In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to
+Added: existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables.
+Added: This update will allow companies to allocate consideration received for qualified separate deliverables using estimated selling price for both delivered and
+Added: undelivered items when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable.
+Added: Additional disclosures discussing the nature of multiple
+Added: element arrangements, the types of deliverables under the arrangements, the general timing of their delivery, and significant factors and estimates used to determine estimated selling prices are
