Note to the Schedule of Investments

(Unaudited)

Investment Valuations—Investments in securities listed or traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the exchange where the security is primarily traded as of close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the valuation date. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales were reported for that date are valued at the last-quoted bid price. Equity and debt securities issued in private placements shall be valued on the bid side by a primary market dealer. Long-term debt securities, including U. S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities, are generally valued at the latest price furnished by an independent pricing service or primary market dealer. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of more than sixty days for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued by an independent pricing service or primary market dealer. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less shall be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount accreted to the date of maturity unless such valuation, in the judgment of Morgan Asset Management, Inc., the Adviser, does not represent market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value as reported by those investment companies. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or available quotations which appear to not accurately reflect the current value of an investment, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee using procedures established by and under the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors. The values assigned to fair valued investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

 

Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Based on an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the 1940 Act) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this document, the Registrant’s certifying officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) The Registrant’s certifying officers are not aware of any changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the Registrant’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 3. Exhibits

The certifications required by Rule 30a-2(a) of the 1940 Act are attached hereto.
