Summary of Fair Value Exposure at August 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
               
The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. 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 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
           
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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)
   
               
Inputs that are  used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Advisor, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels whithin the hierarchy.
               
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
               
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's net assets as of August 31, 2013:
       
 
               
 
       
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Total
 
Common Stocks
  46,673,246       -       -     46,673,246  
Total*
  46,673,246       -       -     46,673,246  
 
               
*Additional information regarding the industry and/or geographical classification of these investments is disclosed in the schedule of investments.
               
There were no transfers into or out of Level, 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the reporting period for the Fund, as compared to their classification from the most recent annual report. It is the Fund's policy to consider transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.
               
In May 2011, the FASB issued AU No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements" in GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"). ASU No. 2011-04 amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and does not believe they will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
 
Derivatives and Hedging Activities at August 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
               
The Trust has adopted an accounting standard involving disclosures of derivatives and hedging activities.  The standard is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.  The standard does not have any impact on the Fund's financial disclosures because the Fund has not maintained any positions in derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities.
