Fair Value Measurements - In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements).  The guidance establishes three levels of fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1 — Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable.

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Fund’s manager.  The Fund’s manager considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2012 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

As all assets of the Fund are classified as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2012 is presented.  During the period ended September 30, 2012, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and there were no significant changes to fair valuation methodologies.

 

All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 are disclosed individually in the Portfolio of Investments (POI).  Please refer to the POI for industry specifics of the portfolio holdings.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at September 30, 2012 was $41,675,513, excluding short-term interest-bearing investments.  At September 30, 2012, the net unrealized appreciation on investments, excluding short-term securities, of $2,648,368 was composed of gross appreciation of $3,964,532 for those investments having an excess of value over cost, and gross depreciation of $1,316,164 for those investments having an excess of cost over value.

 


 


 

Item 2.   Controls and Procedures.

 

a)    The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) were effective as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report (the “Evaluation Date”), based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)), as of the Evaluation Date.

 

b)    There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d))) that occurred during the Registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 3.   Exhibits.

 

(a)   Certification of Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Registrant as required by Rule 30a-2(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-2(a)) is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.302CERT.
