Part VII: The dividends shown for mutual funds, as in the past, include capital gains dividends.
As in the past, routine deposits or withdrawals (i.e., purchases or sales) of money market funds have not been deemed to be reportable transactions, and have not
been shown, but again as in the past, the income from the money market funds during the Reporting Period has been shown, However, when 1 have made final
sales, and initial purchases, of such money market funds, I have shown such final sales, and initial purchases, as reportable "Sell" and "Buy” transactions.
Transactions involving the remvestment of mutual fund dividends and capital gams distributions are not shown as reportable transactions; however, the income
from them is shown,
Tn 2006 and prior years, in the case of the whole life insurznce policies shown on Lines #70 through #74 of this report, the "Income" shown had been the increase
in cash value in cach policy. In 2007, I began to apply dividends on the policies to reduce policy louns, and since then the increase in cash value is no longer
the sume as the dividend on each policy. As in my reports for 2007 and thereafter, the "Income" shown is the dividend on each policy, and not the cash value
increase, as the former is a better indication of the income on each policy. The value shown for each policy is its net cash value, after subtracting outstanding
loans from the gross cash value.
Twelve equal monthly purchases of less than $1,000 cach were made of shares of the Fidelity UNIQUE 2015 Portfolio in the 529 Plan. They are not individually
shown, since investments that do not exceed $1,000 are not to be individually reported. The aggregate value of the plan at the end of the year, which is to be
reported, reflects those purchases, and investment results with respect to them.
The limited parmership shown on line #52 made material distributions to me in 2014. It is obvious that an investment that could generate distributions at the "E”
level has more than minimal value. But it is not publicly traded or otherwise valued, and, as in past years, only the book value of that investment is known. Thus
the "J" Code, based on that book value, continues to be shown for 2014.
On 12/31/14, the money market account serving as the cash account for Rollover #3, at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, waa converted from Dreyfus Liquid Assets
to the Morgan Stanley Liquid Asset Fund. Because the software has no obvious way for treating such a transaction, I deemed it to be a sale of Dreyfus Liquid
Asset Fund and a purchase of Morgan Stanley Liquid Asset Fund.
For ease of entry. and review, account name headers appear for accounts that are not aggregate ownership accounts.
Re first comment paragraph in Comment Letter, addressing Part VII, line 35: The BlackRock Equity Dividend Fund-Tnst Mut Fund Shs reported as sold (on
3/12/2014) from Rollover IRA #1 were inadvertently omitted from the reports for 2013 and 2012, where they would have been listed as holdings in Rollover IRA
#1 (un aggregate account, so income and value would not have been shown) but with no reportable transactions. Those shares were acquired on 6/1/2011 ina
non-private transaction at the same L level at which they were sold. The purchase was omitted in the report for 2011 as well, apparently either because it was
confused with a similar purchase of that same security on the same date in Brokerage Acct. #1 (which was reported) or because it was confused with a purchase of
BlackRock Global Allocat Fun-Inst Mut Fund Shs in that same account (which also was reported).
Re second comment paragraph in Comment Letter, addressing Part VII, line 50: Column C has now been completed, and shows a Value at the J level and a Value
Method Code of T.
Re third comment paragraph in Comment Letter, addressing Part VII, lines 65, 96 and 97 of the prior report for 2013 (though Reviewer probably meant lines
64, 95, and 96, respectively): The Pimeo Total Return Fund-Institutional Mut Fund Shares shown on line 64 were properly omitted in the report for 2014. But
a sale of those shares was inadvertently omitted from the report for 2013. Those shares were sold on 6/13/2013 in a transaction at the L level in a non-private
transaction; because the sale was at a loss, the Gain Code would have been left blank. The sale was apparently omitted because it was confused with a similar
sale of the same security on the same date in Brokerage Acct, #1 (which was reported). The NH Highway 4.334% 2022 Muni Bonds shown on line 95 of the
report for 2013 and the King & Snohomish Counties WA 4.821% 2022 Muni Bonds shown on line 96 of the report for 2013 were still held at the end of 2014,
and inadvertently were dropped in the preparation of the report for 2014. They have been added at the end of Part VII, so as not to change the numbering for the
transactions previously listed.
Re fourth comment paragraph in Comment Letter, addressing Part VII lines 38, 88 and 91 of the prior report for 2013 (though Reviewer probably meant lines
37, 87, and 90-92, respectively): The securities listed on these lines, having been sold in their entirety in 2013, were inadvertently still included in the report for
2014, and should be deemed to be deleted in the report for 2014. They have not been physically deleted in this amended report, however, so as not to change the
numbering for the other transactions listed.
