Figures of interest are:

MER: 1.16% of thw whole unit value, excluding one time initial offering expenses. These were taken as a direct hit to Shareholders’ Equity and bypassed the Income Statement.

Average Net Assets: We need this to calculate portfolio yield. MER of 1.16% Total Expenses of 1,648,741 implies $142-million net assets. Preferred Share distributions of 4,511,294 @ 0.525 / share implies 8.6-million shares out on average. Average Unit Value (beginning & end of year) = (15.95 + 17.39) / 2 = 16.67. Therefore 8.6-million @ 16.67 = 143.4-million average net assets. Good agreement between these two methods! Call it 143-million average.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends received (net of withholding) of 3,940,069 divided by average net assets of 143-million is 2.76%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 2,291,328 divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 4,511,294 is 51%.
