Notes
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and are consistently followed by Delaware Investments Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund).
Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and the asked prices will be used. U.S. Government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Long-term debt securities are valued by an independent pricing service and such prices are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities. Short-term debt securities having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities lending collateral is valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Funds Board of Directors. In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures, or with respect to foreign securities, aftermarket trading or significant events after local market trading (e.g., government actions or pronouncements, trading volume or volatility on markets, exchanges among dealers, or news events).
In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" (Statement 157). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
On July 13, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in Fund net asset value calculations as late as the Fund's last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will incorporate FIN 48 in its semiannual report on May 31, 2008. Although the Fund's tax positions are currently being evaluated, management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.
Repurchase Agreements The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Funds custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Distributions The Fund has a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund declares and pays monthly distributions and is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from ordinary income (net investment income and short-term capital gains). The balance of the distribution then comes from long-term capital gains and, if necessary, a return of capital. The current annualized rate is $0.96 per share. The Fund continues to evaluate its monthly distribution in light of ongoing economic and market conditions and may change the amount of the monthly distributions in the future.
Borrowings The Fund issues short-term commercial paper at a discount from par. The discount is amortized as interest expense over the life of the commercial paper using the straight-line method (See Note 3).
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer.
2. Investments
At February 28, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At February 28, 2007, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:
Cost of investments | $192,239,831 | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation | 30,086,308 | |
Aggregate unrealized depreciation | (1,077,754 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | $ 29,008,554 |
3. Commercial Paper
As of February 28, 2007, $44,000,000 (par value) of commercial paper was outstanding with an amortized cost of $43,794,831. The weighted average discount rate of commercial paper outstanding at February 28, 2007, was 5.31%. The average daily balance of commercial paper outstanding during the period ended February 28, 2007 was $43,705,458 at a weighted discount rate of 5.31%. The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding at any time during the period was $44,000,000. In conjunction with the issuance of the commercial paper, the Fund entered into a line of credit arrangement with J.P. Morgan Chase for $30,000,000. Interest on borrowings is based on market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. The commitment fee is computed at the rate of 0.10% per annum on the unused balance. During the period ended February 28, 2007, there were no borrowings under this arrangement.
4. Securities Lending
The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with J.P. Morgan Chase. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by U.S. government obligations and/or cash collateral not less than 102% of the value of the securities issued in the United States. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate value of the collateral held on any business day is less than the aggregate value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated
in one of the top two tiers by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The security lending agent and the borrower
retain a portion of the earnings from the collateral investments. The Fund records security lending income net of such allocation.
At February 28, 2007, the value of the securities on loan was $20,738,060, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the Schedule of Investments under the caption Securities Lending Collateral.
5. Credit and Market Risks
The Fund invests in high-yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poors Ratings Group and/or Ba or lower by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund's Board of Directors has delegated to Delaware Management Company the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to some of the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the period ended February 28, 2007. The Fund's REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, paricularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.
6. Investment Management Personnel
Delaware Investment Advisers (DIA) has announced that is has entered into discussions with Logan Circle Partners about a possible transaction involving certain members of the taxable fixed income team. This team is also part of Delaware Management Company (DMC), the investment manager to the Portfolio. Regardless of whether this transaction is consummated, DIA and DMC anticipate that they will continue to have substantial fixed income teams in place to support their commitment to managing fixed income strategies.
Although the precise scope of the expected transaction is still under consideration, the desire of the involved parties is to structure this transaction in a manner that minimizes any potential disruption to clients. It is anticipated that there would be an appropriate transition period which would allow for continued and consistent management of the fixed income products.
