Organization and Investment Objective
Daxor
Corporation (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end
management investment company.
The
Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under NYSE American LLC rules, as the estate of Joseph Feldschuh, M.D. controls
more than 50% of the Company’s voting power, as evidenced by the Company’s ownership records. The estate owns 63.2% of the
outstanding shares. As a result, the estate has the ability to control the outcome on any matter requiring the approval of shareholders
of the Company.
The
Company’s investment goals, objectives and principal strategies are as follows:
A. |
The
Company’s investment goals and objectives are capital preservation, maintaining returns on capital with a high degree of safety
and generating income from dividends and option sales to help offset operating losses from the Company’s Operating Division. |
|
|
B. |
In
order to achieve these goals, the Company maintains a diversified securities portfolio comprised primarily of electric utility company
common and preferred stocks. The Company also sells covered calls on portions of its portfolio and also sells puts on stocks it is
willing to own. It also sells uncovered calls and may have net short positions in common stock up to 15% of the value of the portfolio.
The net short position is the total fair market value of the Company’s short positions reduced by the amount due to the Company
from the Broker. If the amount due from the Broker is more than the fair market value of the short positions, the Company will have
a net receivable from the Broker. The Company’s investment policy is to maintain a minimum of 80% of its portfolio in equity
securities of utility companies. The Board of Directors has authorized this minimum to be temporarily lowered to 70% when Company
management deems it to be necessary. Investments in utilities are primarily in electric companies. Investments in non-utility stocks
will generally not exceed 20% of the value of the portfolio. |

Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The
Company is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use
of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ
from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized
upon sale or maturity.
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.
Valuation
of Investments
The
Company carries its investments in securities at fair value and utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments
on a recurring basis. Fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date). Fair
value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods.
The three levels of inputs are:
Level
1- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level
2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments,
interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Company’s
own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best
information available.

Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Valuations
of Investments (continued)
The
availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example,
the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics
particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the
market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value
is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication
of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Investments
in securities, securities borrowed and put and call options that are freely traded and are listed on a national securities exchange are
valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year; securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed
securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices.
The
Company establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments that are categorized within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and verifiable. At December 31, 2021, Level 3 investments consist solely of
the Company’s investment in its wholly owned Operating Division at fair value. The Company’s Audit Committee oversees the
valuation process of the Company’s Level 3 investments. The Audit Committee is comprised of members of the Company’s Board
of Directors and is responsible for the valuation processes and procedures and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application
of the valuation policies. For this valuation process the Audit Committee meets semi-annually or as needed, and in conjunction with reports
from an independent valuation company determines the valuations of the Company’s Level 3 investments. Valuations determined by
the Audit Committee are required to be supported by the independent valuation company whose reports may include information such as market
data, third-party pricing sources; industry accepted pricing models, counterparty prices, or other appropriate methods. On an annual
basis, the Company engages the services of an independent valuation company to perform an independent review of the valuation of the
Company’s investment in its wholly owned Operating Division, and may adjust its valuations based on the recommendations from the
valuation firm.

Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Valuation
of Derivative Instruments
The
Company accounts for derivative instruments under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded in the statement of assets and liabilities at fair value. The changes
in the fair values of derivatives are included in the statements of operations as a component of net realized and unrealized loss from
investments.
Investment
Transactions and Income and Expenses
Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the basis of identifying
the specific securities delivered. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized
on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.
Distributions
Net
investment income and net realized gains are accumulated within the Company and used to pay expenses, to make additional investments
or held in cash as a reserve and at the discretion of the Company, to pay dividends to shareholders.
Revenue
Recognition
ACS
Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity
to follow a five step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract,
(c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize
revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The
Company recognizes revenues in the Operating Division from product sales when a product is shipped and recognizes revenue from service
contracts as the revenues are earned over the life of service contract and performance obligations are met.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” This pronouncement requires recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of events attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry
forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement
of operations in the period in which the enactment rate changes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced through the establishment
of a valuation allowance at such time as, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not
be realized.
The
Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainties in
Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.
The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The
Company purchases equity securities in the form of common and preferred stocks, primarily in the utility sector which historically have
a high degree of safety and pays dividends. The common and preferred stocks are recorded at fair value at the unadjusted closing quoted
price on active securities markets.
Purchased
call and put options: When the Company purchases an option; an amount equal to the premium paid by the Company is recorded as an investment
on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option
purchased. If the purchased option expires, the Company realizes a loss equal to the amount of premium paid. When an instrument is purchased
or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium paid is added to the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from
the proceeds of the instrument sold. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.
Written
call and put options: When the Company writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Company is recorded as
an obligation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value
of the written option. If the written option expires, the Company realizes a gain equal to the amount of premium received. When an instrument
is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium received is adjusted to the basis of the instrument acquired
or the instrument sold. The risk associated with writing options is based on the difference between the strike price of the option and
current market price of the underlying security less premium received. See Note 7 for further discussion of Investment and Market Risk
Factors and risks of written call and put options.
Securities
sold short: The Company may sell securities that it does not own, and it will therefore be obligated to purchase such securities at a
future date. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Company records an unrealized gain or loss to the
extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of the open short position. The Company records a realized gain
or loss when a short position is closed out. By entering into short sales, the Company bears the market risk of increases in the value
of the security sold short in excess of the proceeds received. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred
from purchases of securities because losses from short sales may be unlimited whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount
invested. See Note 1 regarding the Company’s investment goals and its use of covered positions and Note 7 for further discussion
of Investment and Market Risk Factors.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company realized proceeds of $35 from the sale of investment securities.
All
transfers are recognized by the Company at the end of each reporting period. Transfers between Levels 2 and 3 (if any) generally relate
to whether significant unobservable inputs are used for the fair value measurements. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
for additional information related to the fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques and inputs. During the year ended December 31,
2021 there were no transfers between Levels.

Fair Value Measurements of Investments, Financial Instruments and Related Risks (continued)

basis using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) during the year ended December 31, 2021:

Balance, December 31, 2021 | |
$ | 16,500,000 | |
The
Company’s Level 3 asset consists of its investment in its wholly owned Operating Division at fair value and requires significant
judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity, heavy reliance on Level 3 inputs, and the long-term
nature of such investments. Since its inception, the Operating Division has not generated significant revenue and has incurred substantial
operating losses. Due to these substantial losses, the Operating Division has been completely dependent on funding from the Company to
sustain its operations. Investment in Operating Division is primarily located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and was initially valued at transaction
value for identified assets (property and equipment, land, buildings and laboratory equipment), less accumulated depreciation adjusted
for investment in/advances to operating division, business operations and activity and realized losses. Based on Company initiatives
started in 2016 and through 2021, related to potential partnerships, joint ventures, product development, marketing and other operations
of the Operating Division, the Company hired an independent valuation company to perform a valuation of the Operating Division. The Company
updated the initial 2016 valuation and subsequent valuations at December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2021, using the Income Approach
and Market Approaches as defined in SFAS 157 (ASC Topic 820). Based on the valuation approaches, the valuation ranges were $16,000,000
to $17,100,000 for the blended Income Approach and Market Approach at December 31, 2021. In determining the Income Approach value range,
the Gordon Growth Model valuation technique was used with a discount rate of 20.0% and long-term growth rate of 3.0%. Significant increases
(decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation could result in significant changes in fair value measurements. The Income Approach
was weighted 75% given the current financial performance and expectations as to longer-term revenue growth and profitability and a 25%
weight to two (2) arm’s length Daxor share sales transactions which raised $4.0 million, resulting in a midpoint of value range
of $16,500,000. Management has reviewed and assessed this valuation and concluded the valuation remains reasonable.

Derivative Instruments
The
Company may write call and put options in order to generate additional investment income as part of its investment strategy. In the opinion
of management, the use of financial derivative instruments in its investment program is appropriate and customary for the investment
strategies employed reducing certain investment risks.

The
Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $25,886,715 at December 31, 2021. Approximately $16,744,764 of
these losses relates to years prior to 2018 and will begin to expire in 2033. Approximately $9,141,951 of these losses relates
to the years 2018 through 2021, and will not expire, but are subject to limitations on usage.

For
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Alternative Minimum Tax (“ATM”) on corporations was repealed. Credits could
be utilized to offset regular tax liability for years 2018 through 2021 and were to be fully refundable by 2021. In 2020 The Coronovirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“C.A.R.E.S.”) was passed by the United States Congress and signed into law which accelerated
the utilization and the credit available and became fully refundable by 2020. As a result, the Company recorded $353,986 as income tax
receivable, and benefit of the same amount in 2018 of which $189,633 was refunded in 2019. The remaining balance of $189,633 was eligible
to be refunded 2020. The Company received the remaining balance of $189,633 in early 2021.
At
December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations
were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in investment administrative expenses. As of December
31, 2021and December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.

Income Taxes (Benefit) - (continued)
In
certain cases, the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant
tax authorities. The Company files federal, state and local income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.
The 2016 through 2018 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.
Under
Internal revenue code section 542, a company is defined as a Personal Holding Company (“PHC”) if it meets both an ownership
test and an income test. The ownership test is met if a company has five or fewer shareholders that own more than 50% of the company,
which is applicable to Daxor. The income test is met if PHC income items such as dividends, interest and rents exceed 60% of adjusted
ordinary gross income. Adjusted ordinary income is defined as all items of income except capital gains. For the year ended December 31,
2021, more than 60% of Daxor’s adjusted gross income came from items defined as PHC income.
Determining
the PHC tax liability requires computing Daxor’s “undistributed PHC income” and taxing such PHC income at the statutory
rate of 20%. Undistributed PHC income is current year taxable income of the Company, exclusive of the net operating loss carry forward
deduction that is allowed for regular tax purposes. The Company incurred no liability for PHC for the year ended December 31, 2021 due
to the net operating losses applied to realized gains incurred during the year.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred
income taxes result from differences in the recognition of gains and losses on marketable securities; stock options, as well as from
carry forwards of the Company’s net operating losses of approximately $25,886,715 at December 31, 2021, and tax credits
of approximately $1,126,000 for tax purposes. At December 31, 2021 the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes
was $5,119,737.

Realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings. Due to the uncertainty of the realization of its net deferred tax assets, the
Company has provided a valuation allowance. In assessing the potential to realize the deferred tax asset, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some or perhaps all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies
in making their assessment. The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $3,811,553 at December 31, 2021. The valuation allowance decreased
$1,246,642 from December 31, 2020. If the Company becomes profitable before the expiration of the loss carry forwards, it would have
the ability to utilize them in order to offset any taxable income.

Investment and Market Risk Factors
The
Company enters into investments in securities, call and put options and securities borrowed and/or financial instruments that may have
off balance sheet risks, where the potential loss due to changes in the market (market risk), failure of counterparty to perform on the
transaction risk (credit risk) and other risk elements, such as interest rate risk, exceeds the value and/or obligations of such financial
instruments. It is the Company’s general policy to mitigate such risks by transacting with established counterparties. The Company
transacts with and custodies investment assets at UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“Broker”).
The
Company’s investments in securities arise from investments in long common and preferred stocks, selling common stocks short and
transacting in put and call (naked and covered) options. These investments are subject to equity risks of increases and decreases in
market exchange prices such as on the Nasdaq.

Investment and Market Risk Factors - (continued)
The
Company is subject to certain inherent risks arising from its investing activities of selling securities short and writing put and call
options. Selling securities short creates an obligation to purchase the securities at an unknown future date, subject to the Company’s
discretion, at the then prevailing future market prices. Securities borrowed create the risk that the ultimate obligation may exceed
the liability reflected in these financial statements.
The
Company collects premiums and the opportunity to create option premium income when writing put and call options if the options expire
out-of-the-money. Writing put and call options gives the option buyer the right to exercise the option against the option writer. Writing
put options obligates the writer to purchase the stock at the strike price if the stocks’ current market price is below the strike
price prior to expiration of the put option. The potential loss in writing a put option is the strike price less the premium collected
if the stock price falls to zero. Writing call options obligates the writer to sell the stock at the strike price if the stock’s
current market price is greater than the strike price prior to expiration of the call option. The potential loss in writing a naked call
option is unlimited as the rise of a stock price is unlimited. The potential loss in writing a covered call is limited to the strike
price less the cost of the underlying security the Company holds in the portfolio. The Company endeavors to write covered calls but may
also write naked calls.
Cash
receivable from broker and margin loans payable reflect accounts with the Company’s Broker. Due from broker represents amounts
receivable from brokers that are available for investing but have not been invested. Margin loan payable represents obligations to the
Broker for leveraging investments in securities. Investments in securities are collateral for the margin loan payable. The Company does
not have the right of setoff nor netting agreements between brokers.
The
Company’s investments may be subject to changes in interest rates as they may affect equity and option markets. Interest rate risk
refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example,
an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline
in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have
higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter
maturities.
The
Company is subject to volatility risk which refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial
instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative
time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility
risk.
Legal,
tax and regulatory changes continue to occur in the United States and globally, additionally, regulatory environments, as a whole, continue
to evolve and change. The effect of any future legal, tax and/or regulatory changes are unknown and could be substantial and adverse.

The
Company reported $127,536 of portfolio administrative expenses which is included in investment administrative charges on the Statement

Margin Loan and Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan
The
Company has total margin loan payable at December 31, 2021 of $3,022,542. This loan is secured by the Company’s investments in
marketable securities. The interest expense on the margin loans for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $19,605. The ability of the
Company to incur margin debt at any given time is based on the current amount outstanding and the market value of the portfolio of marketable
securities. There are no set repayment terms for the Company’s margin loan.
The
following table summarizes the margin loan activity for the six months ended December 31, 2021:

Stock Options
In
June 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Daxor Corporation 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”).
In April 2020 the Company received exemptive relief from the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and The 2020 Plan
was given approval to become operational effective in April, 2020. The 2020 Plan was approved by shareholders of the Company on June
25, 2020. In addition to Stock Options, awards under the 2020 Plan can consist of Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted
Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Cash Awards and Bonus Stock (collectively, “Stock Awards”). The 2020 Plan is an effort
to provide incentive to employees, officers, agents, consultants, and independent contractors through proprietary interest. The Board
of Directors acts as the Plan Administrator, and may issue these Stock Awards at its discretion.
The
2020 Plan replaces the 2004 Stock Option Plan.
The
maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2020 Plan is 250,000 or 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares, whichever
is greater. Under the provisions of the 2020 Plan, the exercise price of any stock options issued is a minimum of 100% of the closing
market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date of the option. Previously, the Company issued options to various employees
under the previous 2004 Stock Option Plan and the Stock Option Plan that was also administered by the Board of Directors. All issuances
have varying vesting and expiration timelines. As of December 31, 2021, the 2020 Plan had 201,083 options outstanding and 121,146 were
exercisable. The 2004 Stock Option Plan had 156,232 options outstanding and 156,232 were exercisable. The Company has not granted options
under the 2004 Stock Option Plan since August 2018. The 2004 Stock Option Plan ceased operation upon approval of the 2020 Plan, although
stock options that were awarded under the 2004 Plan that have not expired are still eligible to be exercised.
At
December 31, 2021, there was $1,292,774 of unvested stock-based compensation expense to recognize. The Company recognized $729,336 of
stock-based compensation expense, which is included in investment administrative charges in the Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 2021. There was no aggregate intrinsic value at December 31, 2021 as the closing price of the Company’s stock
was lower than the average exercise price of the underlying options. The intrinsic value is calculated based on the difference between
the closing market price of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the underlying options.
To
calculate the option-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s determination of
fair value of option-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as
well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s
expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the options. The risk-free
interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The expected volatility,
holding period, and forfeitures of options are based on historical experience.
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, 30,554 stock options were granted to employees, Directors and outside consultants from the 2020 Plan
with a weighted average exercise price of $10.98. The stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 from the 2020 Plan
are still outstanding and 121,146 stock options have vested as of December 31, 2021.
The

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The
global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic
impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and
individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends
on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value
and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact
the Funds’ performance.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of
assets and liabilities of Daxor Corporation (the “Company”), including the schedule of investments and summary of short positions
and liabilities, as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights, for the year then ended. In
our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations, its cash flows and the changes in net assets, and the financial highlights
for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The statement of changes in net assets of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019,
December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, for the Company were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion
on those financial statements and financial highlights in their report dated February 25, 2021.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect
to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the Company’s securities broker. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements
and financial highlights. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
On October 1, 2021, the Company,
by action of the Audit committee of the Board of Directors, engaged Baker Tilly LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting
firm to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, replacing WithumSmith + Brown, PC.
WithumSmith + Brown, PC’s
reports on the Company’s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 contained
no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, (i) there were no disagreements with WithumSmith
+ Brown, PC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of WithumSmith + Brown, PC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) there
were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
During the Company’s
fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted Baker Tilly LLP
on items which (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the
type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement
(as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and related instructions) or reportable events (as described in paragraph
(a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).
