Legal fees to non-related parties increased approximately $708,000 to $798,000 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.This increase is almost entirely a result of increased legal activity related to the Companys issuance of a $1.5 million Senior Secured Note in January 2011 and fees in connection with a Stock Purrchase Agreement entered into in April 2011.
Professional fees for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased $842,392 to $1,609,938, or approximately 110%, when compared with $767,546 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Accounting fees for internal controls decreased approximately $65,000 when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Legal fees associated with the Companys life settlement portfolio decreased to $1,830 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from approximately $65,000 in the comparable prior period because of the activity relating to resolution of issues during the earlier period.

This change in net assets from operations between periods was attributable primarily to a net increase in investment loss of approximately $577,000 (primarily attributable to an increase in interest income resulting from the larger investment portfolio of approximately $481,000, as offset by an increase in expenses of approximately $1,060,000), an increase in net realized loss from investments of approximately $960,000 and a change from unrealized depreciation on investments in the 2010 period to unrealized appreciation on investments in 2010 aggregating approximately $362,000.

This net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash and equivalents of approximately $3,400,000 less a net decrease in the loan portfolio of $375,000; an increase in assets acquired in satisfaction of loans of $1,050,000 and a net decrease in other assets aggregating approximately $50,000. Total liabilities had an increase of approximately $1,353,000 between periods with a total of approximately $26,886,000 at March 31, 2011 as compared with $25,533,000 at June 30, 2010.
