Three officers of the Fund are officers and members of the Adviser. Government Loan Solutions, Inc. ("GLS") has contracted with the Fund to provide valuation services related to the Fund's investments. Robert O. Judge, a former portfolio manager for the Fund, is the chief executive officer of GLS. The offering of shares of beneficial interest in the Fund (the "Shares") is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Shares are offered on a continuous basis monthly (generally as of the last business day of each month) at the net asset value ("NAV") per Share. There are an unlimited number of authorized Shares.

The Fund's investment objectives are to provide current income, consistent with the preservation of capital, and to enable institutional Fund investors that are subject to regulatory examination for CRA compliance to claim favorable regulatory consideration of their investment under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA"). The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of loans that are eligible for CRA treatment as community development loans or qualified investments ("Community Development Loans"), including investments in 504 First Lien Loans ("504 First Lien Loans") secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate, which represent the non-guaranteed portion of a U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") Section 504 transaction, loans originated under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development ("USDA RD Loans") programs and loans issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs ("BIA Loans"). 504 First Lien Loans are made by financial institutions and other lenders to small businesses for the purchase or improvement of land and buildings. 504 First Lien Loans are not guaranteed by the SBA, the U.S. government or by its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises. USDA RD Loans and BIA Loans are generally partially guaranteed by the applicable agency, but the Fund may invest in either the guaranteed or non-guaranteed portions of these loans.

2. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Fund is an investment company and follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. In the normal course of business, the Fund has entered into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund'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. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Investment Valuation - Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value, and all other investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board"), in accordance with the policies and procedures (the "Valuation Procedures") adopted by the Board. The Board has a standing valuation committee (the "Valuation Committee") that is composed of members appointed by the Board. The Valuation Committee operates under the Valuation Procedures approved by the Board. The Valuation Committee makes quarterly reports to the Board concerning investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Investments in money market funds (short-term investments) are valued at the closing NAV per share.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Community Development Loans - The fair values of Community Development Loans are analyzed using a pricing methodology designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments (the "discounted cash flow" methodology). This pricing methodology takes into account a number of relevant factors, including changes in prevailing interest rates, yield spreads, the Borrower's creditworthiness, the debt service coverage ratio, lien position, delinquency status, frequency of previous late payments and the projected rate of prepayments. Newly purchased loans are fair valued at cost and subsequently analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. Loans with a pending short payoff will be fair valued at the anticipated recovery rate. Valuations of Community Development Loans are determined no less frequently than weekly.

Investment Transactions and Income - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount using the effective yield. Fees associated with loan amendments, paydown gains/losses, and prepayment penalties are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Community Development Loans will be placed in non-accrual status and related interest income reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful as identified by the Adviser as part of the valuation process. During forbearance periods, any interest and fees on deferred payments will be added to the principal amount and re-amortized over the remaining life of the Community Development Loan. There will be no impact to the maturity date of the loan.

Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund expects to declare and pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and net realized capital gains annually. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, dividends will be reinvested in Shares of the Fund.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a regulated investment company under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to so qualify, the Fund must meet certain requirements with respect to the sources of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. If the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company, it will not be subject to federal income or excise tax on income or net capital gains that it distributes in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form of investment company taxable income or net capital gain distributions.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - GAAP requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund's tax return to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years for all major jurisdictions, which the Fund considers to be its federal and relevant state income tax filings. The open tax years for the Fund include the current year plus the prior three tax years. As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not record a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Expenses - Fund expenses are charged to the Fund and recorded on an accrual basis. Commitment fees incurred are prepaid and amortized over the term of the credit facility.

Fair Value Measurements - Under GAAP for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investment).

The following table sets forth information about the levels within the fair value hierarchy at which the Fund's investments are measured as of December 31, 2025:

3. Concentration of Risk

Community Development Loans Risk - The Fund predominantly invests in fixed or variable rate Community Development Loans arranged through private negotiations between individuals, agricultural producers, small business borrowers, public bodies, federally-recognized Indian Tribes and non-profit businesses (each, a "Borrower") and one or more Financial Institutions or Non-Bank Lenders. Community Development Loans are secured by collateral and have a claim on the assets of the Borrower that is senior to a second lien held by a CDC in the case of a 504 First Lien Loan and any claims held by

16

Notes to Financial Statements

3. Concentration of Risk (continued)

unsecured creditors. The Community Development Loans the Fund will invest in are not rated. Community Development Loans are subject to a number of risks described elsewhere in the Fund's Prospectus, including credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk and interest rate risk.

Although the Community Development Loans in which the Fund will invest will be secured by collateral, there can be no assurance that such collateral can be readily liquidated or that the liquidation of such collateral would satisfy the Borrower's obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal, which could result in substantial loss to the Fund.

In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower, the Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Community Development Loan. In the event of a decline in the value of the already pledged collateral, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that the value of the collateral will not at all times equal or exceed the amount of the Borrower's obligations under the Community Development Loan.

In general, the secondary trading market for Community Development Loans is not fully developed. No active trading market may exist for certain Community Development Loans, which may make it difficult to value them. Illiquidity and adverse market conditions may mean that the Fund may not be able to sell certain Community Development Loans quickly or at a fair price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain Community Development Loans, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.

If legislation or state or federal regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of Financial Institutions or Non-bank Lenders to make Community Development Loans, the availability of Community Development Loans for investment by the Fund may be adversely affected. In addition, such requirements or restrictions could reduce or eliminate sources of financing for certain Borrowers.

There may be less readily available information about Community Development Loans and the Borrowers than is the case for investments in many other types of securities. Community Development Loans are issued to Borrowers that are not subject to SEC reporting requirements. As a result, the Adviser will rely primarily on its own evaluation of a Borrower's credit quality rather than on any available independent sources. Therefore, the Fund will be particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser.

The Fund may invest in Community Development Loans through participations with Financial Institutions and, in the case of participations in USDA RD Loans and BIA Loans, through participations with Non-bank Lenders. Non-bank Lenders issuing USDA RD Loans are subject to a rigorous approval process that evaluates the experience, servicing capabilities, capitalization, warehouse financing and track record of issuing loans. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the Financial Institution or Non-bank Lender selling the participation interest, not with the Borrower. In purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no direct right to enforce compliance by the Borrower with the terms of the loan agreement and, depending on the terms of the participation agreement, the Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation and will be subject to the manner in which the Financial Institution or Non-bank Lender enforces the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of both the Borrower and the Financial Institution or Non-bank Lender selling the participation.

Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that one or more debt instruments in the Fund's portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the borrower experiences a decline in its financial status. Losses may occur because the market value of a debt security is affected by the creditworthiness of the issuer and by general economic and specific industry conditions.

3. Concentration of Risk (continued)

Qualification for CRA Credit Risk - Although the Adviser believes that the Fund's Community Development Loan investments will have the community development qualities that are eligible for favorable consideration as community development loans and qualified investments under the CRA, there is no guarantee that an investor will receive CRA credit for an investment in the Fund.

Geographic Concentration Risk - The Fund's Community Development Loan investments are currently concentrated in California and Georgia. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to being adversely affected by any single occurrence in California and Georgia.

Mortgaged properties in California may be particularly susceptible to certain types of hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, mudslides, wildfires and other natural disasters, for which there may or may not be insurance. Mortgaged properties in Georgia may be particularly susceptible to economic risks of the state and certain types of hazards such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters, for which there may not be insurance. As of December 31, 2025, 38.94% and 18.32% of the Fund's investments (as a percentage of net assets) were associated with properties located in Georgia and California, respectively. Mortgaged properties in other states similarly may be adversely affected by natural disasters for which there may not be insurance and which could result in substantial loss to the Fund.

Valuation Risk - Unlike publicly traded equity securities that trade on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for Community Development Loans to trade. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the Adviser's judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process and the valuation of Community Development Loans. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial market, unreliable reference data, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes, including the inability to obtain timely and/or accurate information for model inputs may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. In addition, other market participants may value instruments differently than the Fund, and therefore the actual amount received in the sale of the Community Development Loan may be less than the fair value of such loan, as determined by the Fund.

Recent Market Events Risk - U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainties regarding inflation and central banks' interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, armed conflict, war and geopolitical conflict. Market volatility within the U.S. may cause disruptions to the operations of small business borrowers that may utilize the Community Development Loans in which the Fund invests and may have adverse effects on their long-term health and viability. As a result, the market for certain Community Development Loans and the value of Community Development Loans held by the Fund could be negatively affected by these market conditions and may also be negatively affected in the future by increased rates of default and foreclosure, loan repayment deferral or forbearance requests by borrowers, lower loan origination volumes and the availability of other government loan and relief programs. In addition, the impact of the factors noted above may exacerbate certain risks discussed in the Fund's Prospectus, including Community Development Loans risk, hospitality industry concentration risk, credit risk, valuation risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation and may in some instances contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. In addition, economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected. The Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund's investment objectives, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.

For other risks associated with the Fund and its investments please refer to the "Risks" section in the Fund's current Prospectus.

5. Administration, Distribution, Transfer Agency and Custodian Agreements

The Fund and its administrator, UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS"), are parties to an administration agreement under which UMBFS provides administrative and fund accounting services.

UMBFS also serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.

UMB Bank, N.A. serves as the custodian and escrow agent (the "Custodian") for the Fund. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Fund or which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Fund.

The Fund and J. Alden Associates, Inc. (the "Distributor") are parties to a distribution agreement under which the Distributor acts as the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund.

6. Investment Advisory Agreement

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") with the Adviser, effective May 1, 2019, as amended February 18, 2022. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser makes investment decisions for the Fund and continuously reviews, supervises and administers the investment program of the Fund, subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, the Board. For providing these services, the Adviser will receive a fee from the Fund, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate equal to 1.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or reduce its advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses ("Total Annual Expenses") after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding interest, leverage interest (i.e., any expenses incurred in connection with borrowings made by the Fund), taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) will not exceed 3.50% of the Fund's average annual net assets pursuant to an operating expenses limitation agreement dated September 24, 2024 (the "Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement"). Under the terms of the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement, the Adviser is permitted to be reimbursed in any subsequent month in the three-year period from the date of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such month (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of: (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement; or (b) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is in effect through at least October 31, 2026, and may be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board.
