(1) | Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon average shares outstanding. |
(2) | Includes rounding adjustment to reconcile change in net asset value per share. |
(3) | For tax purposes, we expect that dividends for the six months of 2007 will be funded from undistributed net investment income and realized capital gains from 2006, as well as net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. |
(4) | Total return equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming dividend reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized. |
