5. | UNDISTRIBUTED NET REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) ON INVESTMENTS
Distributions made by RICs often differ from aggregate GAAP-basis undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gains (total GAAP-basis net realized gains). The principal cause is that required minimum fund distributions are based on income and gain amounts determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, rather than GAAP. The differences created can be temporary, meaning that they will reverse in the future, or they can be permanent. In subsequent periods, when all or a portion of a temporary difference becomes a permanent difference, the amount of the permanent difference will be reclassified to "additional capital." We incur federal taxes on behalf of our shareholders as a result of our election to retain long-term capital gains. We had $560,689 and $498,438 of undistributed long term capital gains, as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we distributed $17.59 per share to our shareholders. This distribution is generally taxable to the shareholders as a long term capital gain.
