Caldwell & Orkin – Gator Capital Long/Short Fund
Related Notes to Schedule of Investments
July 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Caldwell & Orkin – Gator Capital Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”), formerly the Caldwell & Orkin Market Opportunity Fund, is the only investment portfolio of The Caldwell & Orkin Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), an open-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on August 15, 1989. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth with a short-term focus on capital preservation. Gator Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation
Securities are stated at the closing price on the date at which the net asset value (“NAV”) is being determined. If the date of determination is not a trading date, or the closing price is not otherwise available, the last bid price is used for a fair value instead. Debt securities are valued at the price provided by an independent pricing service. Any assets or securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with the Fund’s Fair Value Pricing Policy.
Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income
The Fund follows industry practice and records securities transactions on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned.
Fair Value Measurements
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 the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date
Level 2 – quoted prices which are not active quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted process that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset of liability

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available)
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2020 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund did not hold any assets at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.
Short Sales and Segregated Cash
Short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. To initiate such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to deliver to the buyer upon the short sale; the Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it in the open market at some later date, completing the transaction.
The Fund will incur a loss if the market price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in value between those dates.
All short sales must be fully collateralized. The Fund maintains the collateral in segregated accounts consisting of cash and/or U.S. Government securities sufficient to collateralize the market value of its short positions. Typically, the segregated cash with brokers and other financial institutions exceeds the minimum required. Deposits with brokers for securities sold short are invested in money market instruments. Segregated cash is held at the custodian in the name of the broker per a tri-party agreement between the Fund, the custodian, and the broker.
The Fund may also sell short “against the box”, i.e., the Fund enters into a short sale as described above, while holding an offsetting long position in the same security which it sold short. If the Fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will segregate an equivalent amount of securities owned by the Fund as collateral while the short sale is outstanding.
The Fund targets a net exposure of its short positions (excluding short sales “against the box”) to 60% of the Fund’s total net assets. At July 31, 2020, the Fund had approximately 24.42% of its total net assets in short positions.
