FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
FPA New Income, Inc. (the "Fund") returned 0.83% in the third quarter of 2019 and 3.35% year-to-date.
As of September 30, the portfolio had a yield-to-worst of 2.63% and an effective duration of 1.75 years.1 The yield curve,2 as measured by the difference between 10-year and 3-month Treasuries, remains inverted and became slightly more so during the quarter despite two 25-basis-point (bps) interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve as growing recession concerns overwhelmed the Fed's efforts to ease monetary policy. Overall, Treasury yields declined during the quarter, including a decrease of 15 bps for two- to three-year maturities, the target duration of the Fund. Lower rates slightly shorten the duration of our investment opportunity set going forward. High-yield and other credit investments (defined as investments rated BBB or lower) remain expensive. However, we deployed a small amount of capital within credit, increasing the portfolio's credit exposure to 5.8% on September 30, up from 5.2% on June 30. Cash and equivalents were 4.0% of the portfolio as of September 30 versus 8.4% at June 30.
Portfolio Attribution3
The largest and third-largest contributors to performance during the third quarter were equipment asset-backed securities (ABS) and ABS backed by auto loans (mostly prime-quality loans), respectively. The return on both derived mostly from coupon payments, with both also benefiting somewhat from higher prices amid lower Treasury yields and spreads. Notably, equipment and auto loan ABS were large contributors to performance because they are relatively large holdings in the portfolio, not because of a particularly large total return on the investments. The second-largest contributors to performance were corporate bank debt and bonds (predominantly rated BBB or lower) due to a combination of coupon payments and fundamental performance-driven price changes.
1 Yield-to-worst is the lowest possible yield that can be received on a bond without the issuer defaulting. It does not represent the yield that an investor should expect to receive, gross of management fees and expenses. As of September 30, 2019, the Fund's subsidized/unsubsidized 30-Day SEC Standardized Yield ("SEC Yield") was 2.59%/2.46% respectively. The SEC Yield calculation ia an annualized measure of the Fund's dividend and interest payments for the last 30 days, less the Fund expenses. Subsidized yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. Unsubsidized yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. The SEC Yield calculation is based on the price of the Fund at the beginning of the month. The SEC Yield calculation shows investors what they would earn in yield over the course of a 12-month period if the fund continued earning the same rate for the rest of the year. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates.
2 A yield curve is a line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality but differing maturity dates. An inverted yield curve means the short-term yields were higher than the long-term yields.

From a sector standpoint, there were no meaningful detractors from performance during the quarter. However, within our corporate holdings, our investment in an energy-related company called PHI, Inc. ("PHI") detracted from performance. We have referenced PHI in the past and provide more background on this investment below.

Treasury Yield Curves
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001104659-19-070431/j19197621_ba002.jpg)
Source: Bloomberg. The yield curve for each period reflects Yield to Maturity (YTM). YTM is the rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until the end of its lifetime. YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The YTM calculation takes into account the bond's current market price, par value, coupon rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond's current yield.
As described in more detail below, we see the market discerning among the tiers of risk. However, using the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index as a proxy, we also see that the overall price of risk was essentially unchanged during the quarter as the spread on that index decreased from 407 bps to 402 bps.
In short, from our perspective, nothing has changed: Credit, defined as investments rated BBB or lower, is expensive and we see value in extending duration as much as we can, subject to the limits of our duration test — a point of view that we have held for the past several quarters. Our duration test strives to identify the longest duration bonds that we expect will produce a breakeven total return over 12 months if yields rise by 100 bps during that timeframe. As outlined in more detail in our Q2 2019 commentary, actively managing and extending the duration in line with our duration test increases the portfolio's yield and reduces reinvestment risk. It also gives us short-term total return upside optionality if interest rates decline, while protecting the portfolio against the downside of short-term increases in market yields.
In line with this perspective, most of our investments during the quarter were high-quality bonds (rated A or higher) with an average duration of 2.25 years. These investments included ABS backed by prime-quality auto loans, Treasuries, equipment ABS, credit card ABS and non-agency CMBS. The purchases were funded using cash and equivalents, amortization and maturities of existing investments and the proceeds of sales of short-duration holdings, mostly within auto, credit card and equipment ABS. In total, this activity extended the Fund's

overall duration from 1.69 years to 1.75 years and increased the duration on our high-quality fixed rate holdings, which represented 88% of the portfolio at quarter-end, from 1.85 to 1.93 years.
Though credit overall is expensive, we sometimes find attractive investments. This quarter, we added to existing corporate bank debt positions and initiated two new bank debt positions. These investments are emblematic of the investments that make sense to us in this market — they are secured with significant collateral coverage and are in industries that are out of favor (such as retail lately).
Reflection on an Investment
For the past year, the Fund's investment in PHI has detracted from returns. Our assessment of the Company's value suggests that we should have had a positive outcome, but, because the former CEO made what we believe to be a series of bad decisions, the investment has not performed as expected. Nevertheless, we are holding onto the investment because we believe current prices understate its value. Along the way, the episode reminded us of a valuable lesson.
PHI is an owner and operator of helicopters that are used in two lines of business: emergency air medical transportation and offshore oil and gas transportation. We began investing in PHI's unsecured bonds in June 2017. Our investment thesis was that some combination of: 1) a large balance of cash and short-term investments, 2) the enterprise value of the two business units, and 3) the liquidation value of the Company's owned helicopters, provided sufficient value to support the repayment of the bonds.
For any debt investment, the borrower's ability to pay is necessary but not sufficient. The borrower should also have the willingness to pay. When we made the investment in PHI, we felt there was a willingness to pay because we believed the former CEO's interests were aligned with ours. The former CEO owned 20% of the economic value of the common stock, controlled the Company via his ownership of voting shares and, from what we could gather, had a significant portion of his net worth tied up in the stock. The former CEO had also historically reinvested in the business while taking out little in the form of dividends. Based on these data points, we assumed the former CEO would want to preserve his equity value by repaying the bonds.
Subsequent to the Fund's investment, the former CEO made decisions that in hindsight we should have recognized as signs of an unwillingness to repay the bonds, notably forsaking multiple opportunities to repay them. We made repeated attempts to work with PHI to address the bond maturity. But, we speculate that because of greed and/or misguided assumptions about his likelihood of success, the former CEO opted to not repay the debts of the company and, in March 2019, pursued that strategy further in bankruptcy court.
Bankruptcy-related expenses destroyed millions of dollars, but the former CEO's gambit did not work. Bondholders and other unsecured creditors ended up owning 100% of PHI's equity in exchange for extinguishing their claims against PHI.10 Moreover, bondholders (including the Fund) received the right to invest additional capital in exchange for equity at an attractive valuation, a right which we exercised. Lastly, the board of directors was replaced and the CEO retired.
Based on the September 30, 2019 net asset value of the Fund, our investment in PHI represented approximately 0.4% of the Fund. We think the investment is worth more than that, which is why we are retaining it.
10 Prior to dilution for management's equity and warrants to pre-petition equity holders. Overall with other accounts, FPA owns 14% of the equity prior to dilution as of September 30, 2019.

FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Continued)
It's clear now that we misread the former CEO and gave him too much credit for being a good steward of capital. As bond investors, it is tempting to say that management is not as important as asset value, especially when the loan-to-value ratio is low and the margin of safety is high. Sometimes that is true. In situations like PHI, where our investment was unsecured and the margin of safety was not as high, management matters a lot. We may not have been able to identify the former CEO as a bad actor at the outset, but, looking back, we think we could have done a better job of scrutinizing his behavior over time and acted accordingly.
What is less clear is how this situation will ultimately play out. Our goal now is to maximize the value of this investment and the return on that capital, given the forward-looking risks. While we think it is possible to get our invested capital back, we will not pursue that path at the expense of underutilizing the capital we have invested.
In our offices, we have a wall where we maintain a list of lessons learned. PHI is the newest addition to this list. Though the story is still unfolding, regardless of the outcome, an important principle of investing was reinforced: Be vigilant about good management.
Market Commentary
The last two weeks of September revealed a problem in the financial plumbing of the U.S. banking system. Just before September 15, 2019, there was a very large demand for money in the financial system. That demand came from Treasury buyers who had to pay for a large issuance of Treasury bonds by the Federal government and corporations and other tax payers who needed money to make quarterly tax payments to the IRS. For this type of short-term need, investors typically tap the $1 trillion market for overnight repurchase agreements, or repos. A repo is a short-term loan typically collateralized by government securities. In today's market that loan should bear interest at a rate of 2%-2.25% but, on the days in question, a shortage of lenders (i.e., supply of money) pushed the rate to 9%+ for some borrowers.
On the surface, it seems like the market should be flush with cash. The U.S. banking system has about $1.4 trillion in excess reserves,11 an amount that ostensibly gave the Federal Reserve comfort that the banking system had excess liquidity. For the reasons outlined below, however, that liquidity has proven to be illusory:
• It is estimated that upwards of 50% of those excess reserves are housed in four systemically important financial institutions. That means market liquidity is dictated by the decisions and the situational idiosyncrasies of the few, rather than the decisions of many.
• Interest on excess reserves (IOER), which is the interest rate the Federal Reserve offers to banks on their excess reserves, is 1.7%. That makes it worthwhile for some would-be lenders to keep their money with the Fed rather than make it available to the market.
• New bank regulations such as Dodd Frank and Basel III mandating specified amounts of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) sop up excess reserves because these reserves count as HQLA. That further limits the availability of money to the market. The result is that the estimated $1 trillion in excess reserves are in fact not excess — they may be needed to fulfill these new regulatory requirements.
To add liquidity and address the mismatch between supply and demand for money, the Federal Reserve Bank created overnight and term repo facilities as a short-term fix. As a long-term fix, there are three options: 1) ease bank regulations; 2) create a permanent repo facility; or 3) use quantitative easing (QE)12 to create more

excess reserves. Option 1 seems like a long shot (at least in the near term), so the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") is left with options 2 and 3. The Fed recently chose option 3. However, in an attempt to avoid impacting asset prices and to dispel the perception that the central bank is funding the government through bond purchases, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell clarified that the Fed would purchase Treasury bills. He also went to great lengths to explain that this tool was not a reengagement of QE but just a means to inject short-term liquidity into the financial system. As a side note, by purchasing Treasury Bills, the Fed may also help steepen the yield curve.13 Conversely, if the Fed purchased longer maturity Treasury notes or bonds it could make it harder to steepen the yield curve.
Despite over 10 years of economic expansion and a multi-trillion-dollar QE program, the financial system still seems fragile in certain areas. This is surprising given all that has been done to make the financial system supposedly resilient to financial shocks. Are we at a point where the central bank is permanently involved as a primary provider of liquidity to the system because the system itself can't provide it at a reasonable price? Further, if the financial system has periods of illiquidity now during times of solid economic activity, what will happen if/when the economy takes a downturn and there is a significant repricing of credit risk? This situation — and the seeming passivity of the Fed — does not give us comfort. The reasons for the surge in demand for money (e.g., Treasury bond purchases and tax payments) are not surprising events, and in fact, had been identified in advance by multiple market participants. The tax payments happen every quarter and the size and timing of the Treasury auction settlement has been known for some time given the visibility of large fiscal deficits, yet the Fed appeared unprepared for the spike in repo rates. In fact, the repo facility announcement had to be delayed because of technical problems in implementing the facility. We see these problems as warning signs of potential future liquidity problems. Therefore, we strive to have sufficient liquidity to weather the liquidity shortage that could occur during the next economic downturn.
In March of 2018, we wrote a special commentary entitled, "Rare Bond Market Conditions Set Up Complacent Investors for Subpar Returns," in which we discussed the risks to the credit markets associated with flat yield curves, narrow credit spreads and low yields on credit securities. Eighteen months later, that situation still exists and it makes us nervous. We may not be alone in that concern.

Source: Bloomberg. Chart data from 12/31/17-10/24/19. High Yield (HY) refers to high paying bonds with a lower credit rating (typically rated BB and below) than investment-grade corporate bonds, Treasury bonds and municipal bonds. Because of the higher risk of default, these bonds pay a higher yield than investment grade bonds.
Up until the final month of 2018, the CCC component was the best performer. Since the beginning of 2019, the CCC cohort has lagged the others. In the last several months, the performance of the BB portion of the index surpassed that of the single B component. Since December 31, 2017 through October 24, 2019, the return on the CCC portion of the index has been only 1.82%. These are indications that investors are favoring higher quality high-yield bonds. That supports the idea that when a flat yield curve persists, credit securities start to falter.
Per Standard & Poor's, a CCC-rated bond is defined as "an obligation ... currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation." The CCC-rated segment of the high-yield market needs a growing economy to assist in supporting its highly levered capital structure as well as a very active and robust capital market to refinance its debt. Yet the future availability of that critical capital is unclear. High-yield bond issuance is up this year versus last year, supported by inflows into high-yield mutual funds and ETFs.14 Leveraged loan issuance is down this year versus last year because of outflows from leveraged loan mutual funds and ETFs as well as lower issuance of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs),15 which are a large source of loan demand. The robust growth in demand for risk assets that was seen in the past appears to be in question, with investors exhibiting some caution towards credit and its inherent risk. If the lower tiers of the high-yield market continue to deteriorate, there is a potential for further difficulties in the CCC segment of the market and perhaps elsewhere.
Today's low yields and low spreads offer little compensation to investors for what is, in this economic and political climate, heightened risk of permanent impairment of capital. Yet, when rates and the compensation for credit risk are low, investors tend to abandon discipline in the quest to make money, lending on egregiously lenient terms to borrowers with untested business models at hopeful valuations for inadequate returns. We prefer to avoid the dross and exercise patience, protecting capital until we believe valuations are more attractive.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Investments in mutual funds carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Capital markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The Fund may purchase foreign securities, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; this may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.
The return of principal in a bond fund is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with underlying bonds owned by the Fund. Lower rated bonds, convertible securities and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks than higher rated bonds.
Interest rate risk is the risk that when interest rates go up, the value of fixed income securities, such as bonds, typically go down and investors may lose principal value. Credit risk is the risk of loss of principal due to the issuer's failure to repay a loan. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults the security may lose some or all of its value.
Mortgage securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets; such derivatives may increase volatility. Convertible securities are generally not investment grade and are subject to greater credit risk than higher-rated investments. High yield securities can be volatile and subject to much higher instances of default.
Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach their full market value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
FPA New Income, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income and long-term total return. Capital preservation is also a consideration. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.
B. Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Market discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized over the expected life of the securities. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.
C. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
D. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments eliminate certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.
NOTE 2 — Risk Considerations
Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.
Interest Rate and Credit Risk: The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit rating of these securities. For example, the value of debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally will decline when
37
FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: The values of some mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage related-securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If an unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increases the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities: Stripped mortgage backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O and P/O securities. The yield to maturity on I/Os is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.
Credit Risk: Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain securities held by the Fund.
Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.
NOTE 3 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $3,622,576,332 for the year ended September 30, 2019. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized losses of $47,606,856 aggregated $1,516,092,719 and $1,563,699,575, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2019. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.
NOTE 4 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"), advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser"). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.5% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses in excess of 0.50% of the average net assets of the Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, shareholder service fees, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) through January 31, 2020. The Agreement obligates the Adviser to reduce its fee to the extent necessary to reimburse the Fund for any annual expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, the cost of any supplemental statistical and research information, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) in excess of 1.5% of the first $15 million and 1% of the remaining average net assets of the Fund for the year.
For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $288,865 to all Directors who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser.
NOTE 5 — Federal Income Tax
No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax reporting basis, which may differ from financial reporting. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had the following components of distributable earnings at September 30, 2019:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | $ | 2,319,836 | | |

FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The tax status of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| | 2019 | | 2018 | |
Dividends from ordinary income | | $ | 224,500,483 | | | $ | 158,423,878 | | |
The Fund utilizes the provisions of federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized for fiscal years beginning after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of September 30, 2019, the fund had $120,043,491 of post-enactment short-term capital losses and $318,601,761 of post-enactment long-term capital losses available to offset possible future capital gains. The pre-enactment capital loss carryforward of $10,690,443 expired on September 30, 2019.
The cost of investment securities held at September 30, 2019, was $7,293,622,873 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investment at September 30, 2019, for federal income tax purposes was $76,892,370 and $52,141,822, respectively resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $24,750,548. As of and during the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund reclassified $(10,722,172) from Distributable earnings to Paid in Capital. The permanent book/tax differences arose principally from differing book/tax treatment of market discount accretion of securities, paydowns from mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, bond basis adjustments, and expiring capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
NOTE 6 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements
The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.
Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day. If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price. Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: transactions, bids, offers quotations from dealers and trading systems, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, benchmarks, underlying equity of the issuer, and proprietary pricing models such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (includes prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility). Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
40
FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Directors. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.
The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. These assumptions consider inputs such as proprietary pricing models, cash flows, prepayments, defaults, and collateral. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2019:

Level 3 Valuation Process: Investments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are valued by the Adviser in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Directors. The Adviser employs various methods to determine fair valuations including regular review of key inputs and assumptions, and review of related market activity, if any. However, there are generally no observable trade activities in these securities. The Adviser reports to the Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, or more often if warranted. The report includes a summary of the results of the process, the key inputs and assumptions noted, and any changes to the inputs and assumptions used. When appropriate, the Adviser will recommend changes to the procedures and process employed. The value determined for an investment using the fair value procedures may differ significantly from the value realized upon the sale of such investment.

FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2.
There were transfers of $25,682,195 out of Level 3 into Level 2 during the year ended September 30, 2019. The transfers are a result of change in pricing vendor commencing coverage and pricing of the securities during the period and a change in observable inputs.
The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as items categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2019:
Financial Assets | | Fair Value at September 30, 2019 | | Valuation Technique(s) | | Unobservable Inputs | | Price/Range | |

(a) The fair value of the investment is measured at the intrinsic value of previously held bonds exchanged for new equity via company reorganization.
(b) The Third Party Broker Quote technique involves obtaining an independent third-party broker quote for the security.
(c) The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurment are based on the most recent funding. If the financial condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, or if the market comparables were to fall, the value of this investment could be lower.
NOTE 7 — Collateral Requirements
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Fund discloses both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Fund discloses collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.
The following table presents the Fund's repurchase agreements by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under an ISDA Master agreement or similar agreements and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of September 30, 2019, are as follows:

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FPA NEW INCOME, INC.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of FPA New Income, Inc. (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2015, September 30, 2016, and September 30, 2017 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated November 20, 2017, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses
Mutual fund shareholders generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the year and held for the entire year.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to
compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Even though the Fund does not charge transaction fees, if you purchase shares through a broker, the broker may charge you a fee. You should evaluate other mutual funds' transaction fees and any applicable broker fees to assess the total cost of ownership for comparison purposes.
| | Actual Performance | | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses) | |
Beginning Account Value March 31, 2019 | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | |
Ending Account Value September 30, 2019 | | $ | 1,021.80 | | | $ | 1,022.55 | | |
Expenses Paid During Period* | | $ | 2.54 | | | $ | 2.55 | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period and prorated for the six-months ended September 30, 2019 (183/365 days).

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
Approval of the Advisory Agreement. At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on August 12, 2019, the Directors approved the continuation of the advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the "Advisory Agreement") for an additional one-year period through September 30, 2020, on the recommendation of the Independent Directors, who met in executive session on August 12, 2019 prior to the Board meeting to review and discuss the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Board had also met on July 8, 2019, with the Independent Directors meeting separately prior to the Meeting in executive session with the management of the Adviser and then separately with independent counsel to evaluate the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Prior to their July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors, through their independent counsel, had requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Fund, including a description of, among other matters, the terms of the Advisory Agreement; the services provided by the Adviser; the experience of the relevant investment personnel; the Fund's performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of peers and appropriate benchmark(s); the fees and expenses of the Fund in absolute terms and as compared to peers; and the profitability of the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Fund. Following their review at the July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors requested (through their independent counsel) and received supplemental information and responses to a number of questions relating to the materials provided by the Adviser.
In addition, the Board met regularly throughout the year and received information on a variety of topics that were relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement including, among other matters, Fund investment performance, compliance, risk management, liquidity, valuation, trade execution and other matters relating to Fund operations. The Independent Directors also had met with management of the Adviser (including key investment personnel) at their quarterly meetings as well as with management at other times between the quarterly meetings throughout the year. The materials specifically provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreement supplement the information received throughout the year.
At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Directors were also assisted by independent legal counsel. In addition to the materials provided by the Adviser, the Independent Directors received a legal memorandum from independent counsel that outlined, among other matters: the duties of the Independent Directors and relevant requirements under the 1940 Act; the general principles under state law relevant to considering the approval of advisory contracts; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment advisers and investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties; and factors to be considered by the Independent Directors when voting on advisory agreements. During executive session, independent legal counsel reviewed with the Independent Directors these duties, standards and factors summarized in the legal memorandum described above. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors, as well as the Directors' conclusions relative to such factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Adviser in response to their requests, as well as information provided throughout the year regarding: the Adviser and its staffing in connection with the Fund, including the Fund's portfolio managers and the senior analysts supporting them; the scope of services supervised and provided by the Adviser; and the absence of any significant service problems reported to the Board. The Board and the Independent Directors noted the experience, length of service and the outstanding reputation of the Fund's portfolio managers: Tom Atteberry, who has been with the Adviser since 1997 and has served as portfolio manager since 2004 and Abhijeet V. Patwardhan, who joined the Adviser in 2010 and has served as portfolio manager since 2015. After discussion,

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)
(Unaudited)
the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
Investment Performance. The Board and the Independent Directors reviewed the overall investment performance of the Fund. The Directors also received information from an independent consultant, Broadridge, regarding the Fund's performance relative to a peer group of alternative credit focus funds selected by Broadridge (the "Peer Group"). The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Adviser's representation that the Fund's investment style, as evidenced by the short-term duration of most of its portfolio securities, as well as the Fund's flexibility to invest in a variety of areas, complicated Peer Group comparisons in that the Fund is managed in a more conservative style than the typical fixed income fund and the funds in the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Directors noted the Fund's absolute investment results and its long-term investment performance when compared to the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Directors noted the Fund outperformed its Peer Group median for the three- and five-year periods ending March 31, 2019, and underperformed its Peer Group for the one- and ten-year periods ending March 31, 2019. The Board and the Independent Directors also noted that the Fund outperformed the Fund's benchmark, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, for the three-year period ending March 31, 2019 and underperformed for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ending March 31, 2019. They also noted that Broadridge has continued to give the Fund a "Bronze" Analyst Rating. After discussion, the Board and the Independent Directors determined that the Fund's investment results were reasonable in light of the Fund's objectives and concluded that the Adviser's continued management of the Fund should benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses; Comparison with Peer Group and Institutional Fees. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund's advisory fees and total expense levels. The Board and the Independent Directors reviewed comparative information regarding fees and expenses for the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Directors noted that the Fund's advisory fee was slightly above the average of the Peer Group and its overall expense ratio was equal to that of the Peer Group. In addition, the Directors noted that the fee rate charged to the Fund is higher than institutional accounts managed in a similar style by the portfolio managers but considered the Adviser's discussion of the differences between the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund and those provided by the Adviser to the institutional accounts. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the continued payment of advisory fees and expenses by the Fund to the Adviser was fair and reasonable and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
Adviser Profitability and Costs. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Adviser's costs in providing services to the Fund, the profitability of the Adviser and the benefits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. They reviewed and considered the Adviser's representations regarding its assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Adviser's largest operating cost, overhead and trading costs with respect to the provision of investment advisory services. The Independent Directors discussed with the Adviser the general process through which individuals' compensation is determined and then reviewed by the management committee of the Adviser, as well as the Adviser's methods for determining that its compensation levels are set at appropriate levels to attract and retain the personnel necessary to provide high quality professional investment advice. In evaluating the Adviser's profitability, they excluded certain distribution and marketing-related expenses. The Board and the Independent Directors recognized that the Adviser is entitled under the law to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Adviser's
47

(Unaudited)
level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund did not indicate that the Adviser's compensation was unreasonable or excessive.
Economies of Scale and Sharing of Economies of Scale. The Board and the Independent Directors considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund's asset levels and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Adviser's representation that its internal costs of providing investment management services to the Fund have significantly increased in recent years as a result of a number of factors, including the Adviser's substantial investment in additional professional resources and staffing. The Board and the Independent Directors considered both quantitative and qualitative information regarding the Adviser's representation that it has also made significant investments in: (1) the two portfolio managers, five analysts, traders and other investment personnel who assist with the management of the Fund; (2) new compliance, operations, and administrative personnel; (3) information technology, portfolio accounting and trading systems; and (4) office space, each of which enhances the quality of services provided to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Directors also considered the Adviser's willingness to close funds to new investors when it believed that a fund may have limited capacity to grow or that it otherwise would benefit fund shareholders.
The Board and the Independent Directors recognized that the advisory fee rate schedule for the Fund does not have breakpoints. They considered that many mutual funds have breakpoints in the advisory fee structure as a means by which to share in the benefits of potential economies of scale as a fund's assets grow. They also considered that not all funds have breakpoints in their fee structures and that breakpoints are not the exclusive means of sharing potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Adviser's statement that it believes that breakpoints currently remain inappropriate for the Fund given the ongoing investments the Adviser is making in its business for the benefit of the Fund, uncertainties regarding the direction of the economy, rising inflation, increasing costs for personnel and systems, and growth or contraction in the Fund's assets, all of which could negatively impact the profitability of the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Directors also noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses in excess of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, shareholder service fees, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) through January 31, 2020. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Fund is benefitting from the ongoing investments made by the Adviser in its team of personnel serving the Fund and in the Adviser's service infrastructure, and that in light of these investments, the addition of breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee structure was not warranted at current asset levels.
Ancillary Benefits. The Board and the Independent Directors considered other actual and potential benefits to the Adviser from managing the Fund, including the acquisition and use of research services with commissions generated by the Fund, in concluding that the contractual advisory and other fees are fair and reasonable for the Fund. They noted that the Adviser does not have any affiliates that benefit from the Adviser's relationship to the Fund.
Conclusions. The Board and the Independent Directors determined that the Fund continues to benefit from the services of the Adviser's highly experienced portfolio management team, which has produced reasonable long-term returns. In addition, the Board and the Independent Directors agreed that the Fund continues to receive high quality services from the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the current advisory fee rate is reasonable and fair to the Fund and its shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser's profitability and costs. The Board and the Independent

(Unaudited)
Directors also noted their intention to continue monitoring the factors relevant to the Adviser's compensation, such as changes in the Fund's asset levels, changes in portfolio management personnel and the cost and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing, and without assigning particular weight to any single factor, none of which was dispositive, the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund to continue to be advised and managed by the Adviser and determined to approve the continuation of the current Advisory Agreement for another one-year period through September 30, 2020.

The FPA Funds consider customer privacy to be an essential part of their investor relationships and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former investors' non-public personal information.

Respecting Your Privacy. The FPA Funds do not disclose any non-public personal information provided by investors or gathered by the FPA Funds to third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the FPA Funds. Non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as maintaining investor accounts, preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, and gathering shareholder proxies. In many instances, the investors will be clients of a third party, but the FPA Funds may also provide an investor's personal and account information to the investor's respective brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or financial advisor or consultant.
Sharing Information with Third Parties. The FPA Funds reserve the right to report or disclose personal or account information to third parties in circumstances where the FPA Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required or permitted under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property, or upon reasonable request by the FPA Funds in which an investor has invested. In addition, the FPA Funds may disclose information about an investor or an investor's accounts to a third party at the investor's request or with the consent of the investor.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information. The FPA Funds are committed to their obligation to safeguard investor non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the FPA Funds have implemented procedures that are designed to limit access to an investor's non-public personal information to internal personnel who require the information to complete tasks, such as processing transactions, maintaining client accounts or otherwise providing services the investor requested. Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place to guard an investor's non-public personal information.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of directors has determined that Patrick B. Purcell, who is a member of the registrant’s audit committee and board of directors, is an “audit committee financial expert” and is “independent,” as those terms are defined in this Item. This designation will not increase the designee’s duties, obligations or liability as compared to his duties, obligations or liability as a member of the audit committee and of the board of directors. This designation does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or the board of directors.

(c) Tax Fees(1) | | $ | 6,400 | | $ | 6,500 | |

(e)(1) The audit committee shall pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services that the committee considers compatible with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence. The pre-approval requirement will extend to all non-audit services provided to the registrant, the adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant; provided, however, that an engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors to perform attest services for the registrant, the adviser or its affiliates required by generally accepted auditing standards to complete the examination of the registrant’s financial statements (such as an examination conducted in accordance with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements Number 16, or a Successor Statement, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants), will be deem pre-approved if:
(i) the registrant’s independent auditors inform the audit committee of the engagement,
(ii) the registrant’s independent auditors advise the audit committee at least annually that the performance of this engagement will not impair the independent auditor’s independence with respect to the registrant, and
(iii) the audit committee receives a copy of the independent auditor’s report prepared in connection with such services. The committee may delegate to one or more committee members the authority to review and pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services. Actions taken under any such delegation will be reported to the full committee at its next meeting.
(e)(2) 0% of the services provided to the registrant described in paragraphs b—d of this Item were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. There were no services provided to the investment adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser described in paragraphs (b) — (d) of this Item that were required to be pre-approved by the audit committee.
(f) For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, if greater than 50%, specify the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of the principal accountant Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”).

(g) For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 ,the aggregate non-audit fees billed by EY for services rendered to the investment advisor were $41,250 and $38,500, respectively.
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment advisor, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining EY’s independence.
