NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Micro-Cap Portfolio and Premier Portfolio (the "Fund" or
"Funds") are two series of Royce Capital Fund (the "Trust"), a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Trust
was established as a business trust under the laws of Delaware
effective January 11, 1996. The Funds commenced operations on
December 27, 1996.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
a. Valuation of investments:
Securities listed on an exchange or on the Nasdaq National
Market System are valued on the basis of the last reported sale
prior to the time the valuation is made or, if no sale is
reported for such day, at their bid price for exchange-listed
securities and at the average of their bid and asked prices for
Nasdaq securities. Quotations are taken from the market where
the security is primarily traded. Other over-the-counter
securities for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at their bid price. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair
value under procedures established and supervised by the Board of
Trustees. Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued
by reference to other securities with comparable ratings,
interest rates and maturities, using established independent
pricing services.
b. Investment transactions and related investment income:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date
and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains
and losses from investment transactions and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation are determined on the basis of
identified cost for book and tax purposes.
c. Expenses:
Expenses directly attributable to each fund are charged to
that Fund's operations while expenses applicable to all Fund's
are allocated in an equitable manner.
d. Taxes:
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment
companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent that each
Fund distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its
fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information
regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information".
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
e. Distributions:
Dividend and capital gain distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date and paid annually in December. These
distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to
shareholder distributions will result in reclassification to paid-
in capital and may affect net investment income per share.
Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book
and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent
period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
f. Repurchase agreements:
The Funds enter into repurchase agreements with respect to
portfolio securities solely with State Street Bank and Trust
Company ("SSB&T"), the custodian of their assets. Each Fund
restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than
seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by SSB&T until maturity of the repurchase
agreements. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in
the event of default or insolvency of SSB&T, including possible
delays or restrictions upon the ability of each Fund to dispose
of its underlying securities.
g. Organizational expenses:
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with its
organization and initial registration of shares of $10,000 per
portfolio have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight line basis over a five-year period from the date of
commencement of operations.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISER:
Under the Trust's investment advisory agreement with Royce &
Associates, Inc. ("Royce") (formerly Quest Advisory Corp.),
Royce is paid a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.5% and 1.0% of
the average net assets of Micro-Cap Portfolio, and Premier
Portfolio, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
Royce voluntarily waived total advisory fees of $1,865 for Micro-
Cap Portfolio and $1,296 for Premier Portfolio.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES:
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the cost of
purchases and the proceeds from sales of investment securities,
other than short-term securities, were as follows:
