| Registration Statement on Form N-2 | |
| File Numbers 333-178516 and 814-00802 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), has today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 (“Post-Effective Amendment No. 5”) to its Registration Statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333-178516) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the shelf offering of up to an aggregate of $250,000,000 of securities of the Corporation under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 33-6510 (February 15, 1984), we respectfully request on behalf of the Corporation that the Division of Investment Management (the “Division”) consider the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 appropriate for selective review. The disclosure contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 is substantially similar to the disclosure contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement, which was filed with the Commission on April 19, 2012 and recently reviewed by the Division. Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 has been updated primarily to include the audited financial statements and related information for the Corporation’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 includes a number of non-material editorial changes, including updates to the “Risk Factors” section to reflect recent events affecting the global capital markets and the healthcare industry.
