NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

 

Value Fund

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

 

 

 

 

 

At March 31, 2015, the net unrealized depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes of $45,144,255 amounted to $2,423,652, which consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $4,569,622 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $2,145,970.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. SECURITY VALUATION

 

 

 

 

 

Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price.  Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price.  When market quotations are not readily available, when the adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices.  If the adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.  Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.     

 

In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes 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.  The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

 

Baldwin Fund

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

 

 

 

 

 

At March 31, 2015, the net unrealized depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes of $4,123,298 amounted to $69,168, which consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $98,681 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $167,849.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. SECURITY VALUATION

 

 

 

 

 

Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price.  Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price.  When market quotations are not readily available, when the adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices.  If the adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.  Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.     

 

In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes 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.  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.

Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings on Form N-Q, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including the Registrant's principal executive officer and the Registrant's principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. 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. There have been no significant changes in the Registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings on Form N-Q.


ITEM 3. EXHIBITS.
