1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The CornerCap Group of Funds (the “Funds”) was organized on January 6, 1986 as a Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Funds is to obtain capital appreciation and current income. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

A. Security Valuation — Portfolio securities that are listed on national securities exchanges or the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sale price as of 4:15 p.m. Eastern time or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such exchanges or such System. Unlisted securities that are not included on such System are valued at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter-market. Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by CornerCap Investment Counsel (the “Advisor”) under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing the values as of the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments.

 

B. Security Transactions Investment Income and Other — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the effective interest method.

 

C. Federal Income Taxes — It is the policy of each Fund to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income to its shareholders. In addition, each Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

Management has concluded that the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Georgia. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2008. The Funds’ Georgia tax return filings also remain open for the years ended March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2008. To our knowledge, there are no federal or Georgia income tax returns currently under examination.

 

Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 



 

D. Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

E. Accounting Estimates — In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

F. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2009.

(a)       Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as written options, short sales, currency contracts, futures, forward contracts and swap contracts.

 

For the period ended December 31, 2009, the Funds did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in determining fair value.  Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.

 

G. New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB ASC 105 (formerly FASB No. Statement 168), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, establishing the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. FASB ASC 105 is effective for annual and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company has updated its references to GAAP in this report in accordance with the provisions of this pronouncement. The implementation of FASB ASC 105 did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operation.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 820-10-65 (formerly FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This standard applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, with certain defined exceptions, and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
