FUND REPORTS
The Fund has undertaken to publish in its future periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K an estimated net asset value for its Units as determined by its Manager. These quarterly net asset value estimates will be accompanied by a description of the methodology used by the Manager to calculate the estimated Unit value. Until the periodic report filed by the Fund for the first full fiscal quarter following termination of the Fund's public offering of Units, the published value will equal the public offering price per Unit. The periodic report filed for the first full fiscal quarter following the termination of the Fund's public offering of Units will include an estimated valuation of the Fund's assets as of the end of the period covered by the report, including the Fund's investment portfolio held as of that date.
The Fund's Units are not and will not be traded on any secondary market and, accordingly, the net asset values published by the Fund will not represent any market value, but will represent management's estimate of the value of the Fund's investment portfolio and other assets in accordance with the accompanying description of the valuation methodology and subject to the qualifications published with the estimated values.
