PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

[X]	(a)	The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

The annual report on Form N-CSR could be not be filed within the prescribed time due to staffing limitations at the sub-advisor which delayed the completion of the Registrant’s financial statements for the annual report. Specifically, information related to the amortization and accretion of purchased premiums and discounts took longer than expected to compile. Additionally, because many of the Registrant’s holdings are thinly traded and not readily priced, the advisor, sub-advisor and administrator engage in several reconciliation processes to ensure the accuracy of the Registrant’s financial statements. These processes could not be completed prior to the due date of the report without unreasonable effort or expense.
