|
1. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
|
|
|
At March 31, 2013, the net unrealized appreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes of $13,404,348 amounted to $1,371,084, which consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $1,524,936 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $153,852.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. SECURITY VALUATION
|
|
|
|
|
Securities are valued at the last reported sales price, or in the case of securities where there is no reported last sale, the closing bid price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by, or under, the supervision of the Company's Board of Directors in accordance with methods that have been authorized by the Board. Short-term investments (maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at amortized cost that approximates market value.
|
|
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also established a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs that are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Item 2. Controls and Procedures.
(a)
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant's management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on such evaluation, the Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b)
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS.
