and Income Fund, Inc.
February 28, 2017
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by Delaware Investments® Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (Fund). This report covers the period of time since the Funds last fiscal year end.
Security Valuation Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Funds Board of Directors. In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occured in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).
2. Investments
At Feb. 28, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At Feb. 28, 2017, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 109,391,844 | ||
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $ | 27,423,702 | ||
Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments | (3,013,012 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $ | 24,410,690 |
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Funds investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
Level 1 |
inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts) |
Level 2 |
other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates), or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) |
Level 3 |
Significant unobservable inputs, including the Funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) |

2. Investments (continued)
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Feb. 28, 2017:

The security that has been valued at zero on the Schedule of investments is considered to be Level 3 investments in this table.
1Security type is valued across multiple levels. Level 1 investments represent exchange-traded investments, Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs or matrix-priced instruments, and Level 3 investments represent investments without observable inputs. The amounts attributed to Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, and Level 3 investments represent the following percentages of the total value of these security types:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||
Convertible Preferred Stock | 91.85% | 8.15% | | 100.00% |
During the period ended Feb. 28, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in the Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established rolling threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that the Funds net asset value (NAV) is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that the Funds NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occuring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Funds policy is to recognized transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as they are not considered significant to the Funds net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the period. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to the Funds net assets at the end of the period.
