For the year ended December 31, 2013, there was approximately $590,000 of expenses recorded on the financial statements of the Sponsor which is subject to reimbursement by the Funds in 2014. The Sponsor had not yet determined if it would seek such reimbursement and, as such, due to the uncertainty of this reimbursement, the financial statements of the Trust and the Funds did not reflect an adjustment for this amount. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Sponsor received no reimbursement from the Fund. The total balance as of March 31, 2014 that could be reimbursed by the Funds to the Sponsor is $289,400.
