of Bancroft Fund Ltd. approved a new investment advisory agreement with Gabelli Funds, LLC at a special shareholder meeting held
on October 19, 2015. The portfolio management team continues as the Dinsmore Group of Gabelli Funds. We are pleased that shareholders
voted in favor of this arrangement and believe that together we have the opportunity to improve the overall management of the Fund.
We will continue to manage the portfolio as we have while adding access to Gabelli&rsquo;s 30+ analysts, a more robust back office
operation and a dedicated shareholder ombudsman to help you with any questions you may have about the Fund. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Looking forward, there is an expectation that interest rates
will rise in the near future, perhaps even breaking the 35-year secular decline in interest rates. It is clear from market actions
that some investors could be concerned about what will happen to convertibles in such an environment. We have examined the history
of the last eight 100 basis point rises in 10-year treasury yields going back to January 1996. In each case the convertible market
moved higher, acting more like equities than bonds. Further, it is our expectation that a rising rate environment could precipitate
an increase in convertible issuance as companies find them to be a more attractive way to raise money than higher rate bonds.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">At Bancroft we have always looked at convertible securities
as alternatives to equities, but with reduced volatility. As volatility re-emerged this year, Bancroft&rsquo;s standard deviation
has remained well below that of the S&amp;P 500&reg;. As you can see in the Performance Highlights section on the facing page,
both Bancroft&rsquo;s shares and its Net Asset Value have outperformed the convertible securities indices this fiscal year even
without adjusting for expenses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">According to Barclays the U.S. domestic convertible securities
market consists of 505 issues with a total market capitalization of just over $200 billion. 75 percent of these issues come in
the form of corporate bonds with the remainder in the form of preferred shares. The largest issuer is the Information Technology
sector with roughly a third of the market. Health Care and Financial issuers make up the next largest segments of the capitalization
of this market. Issuance of new convertible securities has decreased compared to last year, though still above the average of the
last five years. We would like to see more new issues, but consider current year issuance to be satisfactory.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Performance for Bancroft&rsquo;s fourth
fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2015 was enhanced by exposure to the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors. Performance
was held back by the Fund&rsquo;s exposure to the Health Care and Energy sectors. The Fund&rsquo;s largest sector exposures as
of October 31, 2015 were in Information Technology (33.3%), Financials (19.2%) and Health Care (17.3%).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Bancroft&rsquo;s portfolio at October 31,
2015 consisted of 66.1% cash-pay convertible bonds and notes, 16.7% mandatory convertible issues and 14.6% convertible preferred
stock. At that date, the bonds had an average current annual yield of 2.20%; the mandatory convertible securities, 6.02%; and the
preferred shares, 6.35%. The Fund&rsquo;s convertible securities holdings at October 31, 2015 had a median premium-to-conversion
value of 20.8%. We calculate that equities and equity-sensitive convertible issues at that date made up 40% of the Fund&rsquo;s
portfolio, with credit-sensitive issues accounting for 15% of the Fund&rsquo;s portfolio, and total-return convertible issues at
45%.</P>

Under the Fund&rsquo;s organizational documents, each trustee, officer or other agent of the Fund (including the Fund&rsquo;s investment
adviser) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally,
in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund&rsquo;s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that
have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification is considered remote.</P>

Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at market using the last reported sales price, supplied
by an independent pricing service, as of the close of regular trading. Listed securities, for which no sales were reported, are
valued at the mean between closing reported bid and asked prices as of the close of regular trading. Unlisted securities traded
in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated quote provided by the independent pricing service, or, if an evaluated
quote is unavailable, such securities are valued using prices received from dealers, provided that if the dealer supplies both
bid and asked prices, the price to be used is the mean of the bid and asked prices. The independent pricing service derives an
evaluated quote by obtaining dealer quotes, analyzing the listed markets, reviewing trade execution data and employing sensitivity
analysis. Evaluated quotes may also reflect appropriate factors such as individual characteristics of the issue, communications
with broker-dealers, and other market data. Securities for which quotations are not readily available, restricted securities and
other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
debt securities with original maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.</P>

similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven
valuation 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, and those received from an independent pricing service.</P>

in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that
reflect the Fund&rsquo;s own assumptions that market participants would use to price an asset or liability based on the best available
information.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.05pt">The availability of
observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the
type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of the markets, and other
characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable
or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised
in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.</P>

from Level 3 investments held as of October 31, 2015 was ($29,969) and is included in the net change in unrealized appreciation
of investments in the Statement of Operations. Transfers into, or out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the end of
the period. Transfers into Level 3 were due to a decline in market activity (e.g., frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack
of available market inputs to determine price.</P>

tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2012-2014), or expected
to be taken in the Fund&rsquo;s 2015 tax returns. The major tax authority for the Fund is the Internal Revenue Service. The Fund

capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.
As determined at October 31, 2015, the Fund utilized $176,556 of its capital loss carryforwards.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>(g) Use of Estimates </B>- The preparation

amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</P>

requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.</P>

policy to invest at least 65% of its assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do derive part of their
value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However,
the Fund&rsquo;s mandatory convertible securities include features which render them more sensitive to price changes of their underlying
securities. Thus they expose the Fund to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but generally less than
that of the underlying common stock. The market value of those securities was $19,773,897 at October 31, 2015, representing approximately
16.7% of net assets.</P>

</B>- Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent
differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset

the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.
The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Fund&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund&rsquo;s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as
of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">The Fund has an Automatic Dividend
Investment and Cash Payment Plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;). Any shareholder may elect to join the Plan by sending an application
to American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560 (the &ldquo;Plan Agent&rdquo;).
You may also obtain information about the Plan, as well as the Plan application, by calling the Plan Agent toll free at (877) 208-9514.
If your shares are held by a broker or other nominee, you should instruct the nominee to join the Plan on your behalf. Some brokers
may require that your shares be taken out of the broker&rsquo;s &ldquo;street name&rdquo; and re-registered in your own name. Shareholders
should also contact their broker to determine whether shares acquired through participation in the Plan can be transferred to another
broker and thereafter, whether the shareholder can continue to participate in the Plan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">Under the Plan, all dividends
and distributions are automatically invested in additional Fund shares. Depending on the circumstances, shares may either be issued
by the Fund or acquired through open market purchases at the current market price or net asset value, whichever is lower (but not
less than 95% of market price). For shareholder distributions made with respect to income earned during each of the first three
fiscal quarters, when the market price of a share of Fund beneficial shares is lower than such share&rsquo;s net asset value, the
Plan Agent will combine the distributions of all Plan participants and purchase shares in the open market, thereby taking advantage
of the lower commissions on larger purchases. There is no other charge for this service. For shareholder distributions made with
respect to capital gains realized during the fiscal year and income earned during the fourth fiscal quarter, when the market price
of a share of Fund shares is lower than such share&rsquo;s net asset value, the Fund will issue shares at the market price.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">All dividends and distributions
made by the Fund (including capital gain dividends and dividends designated as qualified dividend income, which are eligible for
taxation at lower rates) remain taxable to Plan participants, regardless of whether such dividends and distributions are reinvested
in additional shares of the Fund through open market purchases or through the issuance of new shares. Plan participants will be
treated as receiving the cash used to purchase shares on the open market and, in the case of any dividend or distribution made
in the form of newly issued shares, will be treated as receiving an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares as of
the reinvestment date. Accordingly, a shareholder may incur a tax liability even though such shareholder has not received a cash
distribution with which to pay the tax.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.2pt; text-align: justify">Plan participants may also voluntarily
send cash payments of $100 to $10,000 per month to the Plan Agent, to be combined with other Plan monies, for purchase of additional
Fund shares in the open market. You pay only a bank service charge of $1.25 per transaction, plus your proportionate share of the
brokerage commission. All shares and fractional shares purchased will be held by the Plan Agent in your dividend reinvestment account.
You may deposit with the Plan Agent any Fund share certificates you hold, for a one-time fee of $7.50.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.15pt">At any
time, a Plan participant may instruct the Plan Agent to liquidate all or any portion of such Plan participant&rsquo;s account.
To do so, a Plan participant must deliver written notice to the Plan Agent prior to the record date of any dividend or distribution
requesting either liquidation or a share certificate. The Plan Agent will combine all liquidation requests it receives from Plan
participants on a particular day and will then sell shares of the Fund that are subject to liquidation requests in the open market.
The amount of proceeds a Plan participant will receive shall be determined by the average sales price per share, after deducting
brokerage commissions, of all shares sold by the Plan Agent for all Plan participants who have given the Plan Agent liquidation
requests.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.05pt">The Plan Agent or
the Fund may terminate the Plan for any reason at any time by sending written notice addressed to the Plan participant&rsquo;s
address as shown on the Plan Agent&rsquo;s records. Following the date of termination, the Plan Agent shall send the Plan participant
either the proceeds of liquidation, or a share certificate or certificates for the full shares held by the Plan Agent in the Plan
participant&rsquo;s account. Additionally, a check will be sent for the value of any fractional interest in the Plan participant&rsquo;s
account based on the market price of the Fund&rsquo;s shares on that date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">(a) As of December 9, 2015, an evaluation was performed under
the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Fund, including the PEO and the PFO, to assess the effectiveness
of the Fund&rsquo;s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &ldquo;Act&rdquo;). Based on that evaluation, as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under
the Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)),
the Fund&rsquo;s officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that, as of December 9, 2015 the Fund&rsquo;s disclosure controls
and procedures were reasonably designed so as to ensure: (1) that information required to be disclosed by the Fund on Form N-CSR
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and (2) that material information relating to the Fund is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.</P>
