From time to time, certain of the Company’s investments may be restricted as to resale. For instance, private investments that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, cannot be offered for public sale in a non-exempt transaction without first being registered. In other cases, certain of the Company’s investments have restrictions such as lock-up agreements that preclude the Company from offering these securities for public sale.

At February 29, 2012, the Company held the following restricted investments:

(1) Securities are valued using inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions.
(2) Securities acquired at various dates throughout the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.
(3) Unregistered or restricted security of a publicly tracked company.
(4) On September 28, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court finalized the plan of reorganization of Clearwater. As part of the plan of reorganization, the Company received an interest in the Clearwater Trust consisting of cash and a coal royalty interest as consideration for its unsecured loan to Clearwater.
(5) Unregistered security of a private company or trust.
(6) In determining the fair value for Plains All American GP, LLC (“PAA GP”), the Company’s valuation is based on publicly available information. Robert V. Sinnott, the CEO of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“KACALP”), sits on PAA GP’s board of directors. Certain private investment funds managed by KACALP may value its investment in PAA GP based on non-public information, and, as a result, such valuation may be different than the Company’s valuation.
(7) These securities have a fair market value determined by the mean of the bid and ask prices provided by an agent or syndicate bank, principal market maker or an independent pricing service. These securities have limited trading volume and are not listed on a national exchange.

At February 29, 2012, the cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,313,393. At February 29, 2012, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation of investments

   $ 1,860,389   

Gross unrealized depreciation of investments

     (7,326
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,853,063   
  

 

 

 

The identified cost basis of federal tax purposes is estimated based on information available from the Company’s portfolio companies. In some cases, this information is very limited. Accordingly, the actual cost basis may prove higher or lower than the estimated cost basis included above.

As required by the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, the Company has performed an analysis of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.


Table of Contents

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories. Note that the valuation levels below are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment.

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange to which the Company has access at the date of measurement.

 

   

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

 

   

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 29, 2012. The Company presents these assets by security type and description on its Schedule of Investments.

The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at February 29, 2012 or at November 30, 2011. For the three months ended February 29, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The $3,020 of unrealized gains presented in the table above for the three months ended February 29, 2012 related to investments that are still held at February 29, 2012.

The issuances of $1,427 relate to additional units received from Buckeye Partners, L.P. (Class B Units) and Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (Class C Units). The Company’s investments in the common units of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P., which is noted as a transfer out of Level 3 in the table above, became readily marketable during the three months ended February 29, 2012.
