The final taxable amounts cannot be known until the Company's tax return is filed, but the Company's experience has been that cash flows have historically represented a reasonable estimate of taxable earnings. There have historically been significant differences between Oxford Lane's GAAP earnings and its taxable earnings and this is likely to continue, particularly related to CLO equity investments where the Company's taxable earnings are based upon distributable earnings while GAAP earnings are based upon an effective yield calculation. In general, the Company currently expects its near-term taxable earnings to be higher than its reportable GAAP earnings. The Company expects to file its quarterly report on Form N-Q on or about February 14, 2014. The Company is also posting to its website a more detailed summary of our quarterly financials, as well as comparisons to prior quarters. This can be found at oxfordlanepresentation.
