5. | ACCUMULATED 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. Historically, we have not distributed net capital gains; however, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, we distributed capital gains dividends in the amount of $20.34 per share to our shareholders. As of March 31, 2013 we had accumulated long-term capital gains of $10,436,526. As of March 31, 2012 we had accumulated long-term capital gains of $498,438.
