1. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

 

 

 

 

At June 30, 2016, the net unrealized depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income

 

 

 

tax purposes of $2,620,752 amounted to $185,495 which consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of

2. SECURITY VALUATION

 

 

 

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

          Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

          Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an active market, price for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

          

 

 

 

 

 

 

          Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best  information available.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2016:

      (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.
