NOTE 1 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities.  Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.

 

Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day.  If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price.  Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market more accurately reflects the securities’ value in the judgment of the Company’s officers, are valued at the most recent bid price.  However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers.  Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

 

Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Company’s Board of Directors. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s value.  These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions.  Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

 

The Company classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies.  Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.  Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility.  Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets.  The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following table presents the valuation levels of the Company’s investments as of September 30, 2015:
