DGS.PR.A: 12H1 Semi-Annual Report

Dividend Growth Split Corp. has released its Semi-Annual Report to June 30, 2012.

Figures of interest are:

MER: The MER per unit of the Fund, excluding the cost of leverage, was 1.09% as at June 30, 2012.

Average Net Assets: We need this figure to calculate portfolio yield. [(41.0+63.7-million (NAV, beginning of period) + 37.3+63.7-million (NAV, end of period)] / 2 = about 103-million. Note that when the fund reports its NAV on page 4 of the report, they are referring only to the capital units, so 63.7-million for the preferreds needs to be added.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Total income of 2,395,765, times two (semi-annual) divided by average net assets of 103-million is 4.65%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 1,819,683 divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 1,650,413 is 110%.
