Pomona Investment Fund Consolidated Schedule of Investments
  September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

(a)

Private Equity Investments are generally offered in private placement transactions and as such are illiquid and generally restricted as to resale.

Total cost and fair value of illiquid and restricted securities as of September 30, 2022 was $567,448,937 and $614,460,363, respectively.

(b) Pomona Investment Fund ordinarily acquires portfolios of investments that are comprised of interests in multiple private equity funds (rather than single interests in such funds) and pays a single purchase price for each such portfolio. As a result, the specific acquisition cost allocated to each Private Equity Investment does not necessarily reflect the actual cost of each such investment. The information regarding the Private Equity Investments, as listed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments above, has not been prepared, reviewed or approved by any such Private Equity Fund or any general partner, manager or sponsor of such Private Equity Investments or any of their respective affiliates. As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of each investment restricted to resale was: $6,544,844, $2,310,416, $3,166,371, $4,810,903, $912,217, $1,793,111, $370,658, $1,680,413, $1,364,854, $1,697,590, $1,768,335, $2,121,229, $–, $1,917,029, $2,725,853, $3,756,178, $1,028,430, $1,900,000, $2,741,374, $68,147, $–, $1,417,857 $–, $1,496,634, $390,084, $3,451,393, $6,292,110, $2,750,000, $2,458,321, $4,549,335, $2,382,370, $4,493,044, $3,631,082, $3,005,011, $28,494, $3,810,169, $11,589, $41,815, $1,784,694, $2,920,982, $1,647,972, $11,204,532 $4,125, $1,149,795, $166,447, $1,981,206, $406,876, $20,004, $207,218, $298,282, $585,763, $547,290, $3,873,937, $6,339,524, $1,211,082, $1,433,742, $3,590,509, $3,942, $2,308,026, $2,154, $458,814, $202,529, $–, $370,995, $2,211,922, $13,523, $–, $962,325, $5,516,370, $4,222,683, $49,683, $577,010, $794,314, $1,483,777, $484,526, $1,111,158, $2,220,101, $47,747, $9,120,343, $6,040,488, $992,633, $7,094,073, $444,287, $130,322, $203,464, $1,627,083 $209,397, $10,018,575, $314,006, $8,900,967, $688,460, $2,874,238, $962,430, $–, $245,297, $–, $16,425,666, $4,946,341 $959,269, $15,728, $12,294, $2,640,628, $1,971,938, $2,141,126, $616,478, $305,546, $463,350, $1,611,792, $756,354, $2,704,834 $133,659, $1,192,677, $1,798,300, $1,061,254, $24,637, $–, $912,464, $1,123,554, $496,737, $2,508,048, $8,093,750, $112,127, $127,519, $2,155,162, $212,384, $1,309,870, $774,318, $6,029,100, $1,607,454, $1,170,756, $13,778, $1,185,423, $–, $4,673,488, $6,539,856, $3,605,027, $1,884,241, $1,741,331, $337,808, $163,282, $1,986,873, $2,126,265, $38,394, $261,086, $210,840, $–, $1,233,303, $2,314,262, $1,660,667, $756,539, $73,605, $1,701,939, $5,682,672, $13,136,628, $5,151,969, $7,823,832, $656,440, $951,554, $3,281,916, $186,780, $3,844,385, $157,636, $822,646, $5,124,188, $1,683,145, $1,373,238, $371,249, $577,528, $150,922, $712,669, $44,396, $42,796, $1,655,999, $171,262, $2,165,311, $2,477, $1,287,564, $800,503, $195,400, $87,174, $2,993,311, $239,762, $723,155, $496,027, $487,454, $2,071,441, $2,826,763, $10,272, $2,009,981, $740,734, $304,638, $7,226,092, $13,706, $29,533, $233,687, $1,890,887, $705, $6,650,126, $352,648, $–, $1,364,746, $751,526, $239,608, $5,000,000, $122,223, $1,026,522, $3,739,185, $115,171, $9,419,458, $171,384, $1,001,910, $319, $45,196, $10,226, $1,504,205, $229,506, $510,507, $8,564,953, $4,020,346, $305,707, $5,553,019, $19,151, $367,900, $3,765,310, $238,309, $6,414,863, $4,285,377, $6,023, $14,852, $141,130, $6,305,034, $583,883, $810,797, $848,726, $796,705, $896,042, $903,850, $4,008,487, $675,116, $2,057,705, $890,518, $2,019,052, $1,498,965, $24,304, $494,403, $12,064,782, $956,950, $951,808, $532,783, $309,279, $243,191, $498,522, $1,097,436, $33,677, $223,456, $129,083, $364,685, $17,346,330, $14,583,279, $2,114,883, $267,492, $21,751, $1,928,303, $325,255, $1,927,737, $515,409, $276,706, $12,183,833, $4,312,665, $870,347, $3,611,204, $4,816,215, $5,967,526, $9,298,471, $2,322, $66,690, $930,423, $469,001 and $4,910,000, respectively, totaling, $567,448,937.

The Adviser has entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Fund for a one-year term ending at the end of the Limitation Period to limit the amount of the Fund's total annual ordinary operating expenses, excluding certain "Specified Expenses" as outlined in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. This amount includes expenses incurred by the Fund for recoupment to the Adviser for expenses previously waived. Had the Fund not incurred such expenses, the annualized ratio of net expenses to average net assets would have been 2.96% for the period ended September 30, 2022, and the annualized ratio of net expenses to average net assets would have been 2.99%, 2.92%, 3.09%, and 3.20% for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
(l) Less than 0.005%

Includes expenses excluded from the expense limitation. In addition, the ratio is calculated based on net expenses and average net assets. If the net expense ratio calculation was calculated quarterly rather than annualized, as is done for expense waiver calculations which is not, however, calculated based on average net assets, the net expense ratio would be 2.95%.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

 

Pomona Investment Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014 and commenced operations on May 7, 2015. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund is managed by Pomona Management LLC (the “Adviser” and the “Administrator”), an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in private equity investments (“Private Equity Investments”). On August 3, 2017, in connection with the Fund’s revolving credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC (the "Barclays facility"), Pomona Investment Fund LLC was organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund.

 

The Fund’s Private Equity Investments will predominantly consist of secondary and primary investments in private equity and other private asset funds (“Investment Funds”) and, to a lesser degree, direct investments in operating companies. Co-investments refer to direct investments in an operating company by the Fund alongside other investors, often one or more Investment Funds. Primary investments refer to investments in newly established private equity funds, typically sponsored by investment managers with an established investment track record. Seasoned primary investments, or seasoned primaries, refer to primary investments made after an Investment Fund has already invested a certain percentage of its capital commitments. Secondary investments refer to investments in existing Investment Funds that are typically acquired in privately negotiated transactions.

 

A board of trustees (the “Board”) has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund. As permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Fund, any committee of the Board, or the Adviser.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Fund offered three classes of shares; Classes A, I, and M2 shares. All shares are continuously offered on a quarterly basis.

 

Class A Shares are offered at the then-current net asset value ("NAV") an initial sales charge, if applicable, with a general minimum initial investment of $25,000. Class A Shareholders pay a fee for distribution and shareholder servicing.

 

Class I Shares are offered to certain institutional investors, at the then-current NAV without an initial sales charge and with a general minimum initial investment of $1,000,000. Class I Shareholders do not pay a fee for distribution or shareholder servicing.

 

Class M2 Shares are offered through intermediary wealth management platforms associated with private banks and trust companies, at the then-current NAV without an initial sales charge. The general minimum initial investment is $5,000,000. Class M2 Shareholders do not pay a fee for distribution services.

 

Certain investors may purchase less than the minimum investment for Class I and Class M2 Shares (noted above) pursuant to a Letter of Intent, which is further described in the Fund’s prospectus.

 

All share classes have the same rights and privileges, and have ownership in the same underlying investment portfolio.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company and therefore applies the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

Consolidation of a Subsidiary

The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include Pomona Investment Fund LLC, a wholly owned-subsidiary of the Fund. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

As of September 30, 2022 the total value of investments held by the subsidiary is $474,424,934, or approximately 67% of the Fund’s net assets.

Valuation of Investments

The Fund follows the provisions of Fair Value Measurement set forth in ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”). The Fund has formal valuation policies and procedures (the “Valuation Procedures”), which have been approved by the Board. Effective September 8, 2022, the Adviser is designated as the Valuation Designee (the "Valuation Designee") for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.

 

The Board receives valuation reports from the Valuation Designee on a quarterly basis and determines if the Valuation Procedures are operating as expected and the outcomes are reliable.

 

All investments are recorded at “Fair Value” in good faith. Fair value is based on actual or estimated market value, with special provisions for assets not having readily available market quotations, and for situations in which market quotations are deemed unreliable. The Private Equity Investments that the Fund makes normally do not have readily available market prices. Determining the fair value of Private Equity Investments and other assets requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each asset while seeking to employ a valuation process that is consistently followed. There is not necessarily a single standard for determining fair value of such assets, and determinations of fair value may involve subjective judgments and estimates.

 

The fair values of the Fund’s Private Equity Investments are estimates and are determined by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If applicable, these estimates are net of management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable pursuant to the respective organizational documents of each Private Equity Investment. Ordinarily, the fair value of a Private Equity Investment held by the Fund is based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of that Private Equity Investment reported by its investment manager. If the Valuation Designee determines that the most recent NAV reported by the investment manager of a Private Equity Investment does not represent the fair value or if the investment manager of a Private Equity Investment fails to report a NAV to the Fund, a fair value determination is made by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. This includes adjusting the previous NAV provided by an investment manager with other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio, including capital activity and material events occurring between the reference dates of the investment manager’s valuation and the relevant valuation date.

 

In accordance with ASU 2015-07, the Fund is using NAV as a practical expedient. For investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which it is not possible to use NAV as a practical expedient, such as certain Direct Investments/Co-Investments, the Administrator will review and value such investments using one or more of the following types of analyses:

 

·Market comparable statistics and public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity, minority ownership and/or other factors for investments with similar characteristics.
·Discounted cash flow analysis, including a terminal value or exit multiple.
·The cost of the investment, if the cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the investment.
·Valuations implied by third-party investment in similar assets or issuers.

 

Cash

The Fund holds cash at UMB Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. At times, such deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. There are no restrictions on the cash by the Fund.

 

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments represent investments in money market instruments and money market mutual funds, and are recorded at NAV per share which approximates fair value. Money market instruments are high quality, short-term fixed-income obligations, which generally have remaining maturities of one year or less and may include U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and repurchase agreements. There are no restrictions on the short-term investments held by the Fund.

 

Realized Gain/(Loss) on Investments, Interest Income, and Dividend Income

The Fund accounts for realized gains and losses, interest income, and dividend income on distributions received from Private Equity Investments based on the nature of such distributions as determined by each underlying investment manager.

 

Other Income from Private Equity Investments

The Fund accounts for other income on distributions received from Private Equity Investments based on the nature of such distributions as determined by the underlying investment fund managers. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Fund earned other income of $128,517 which is reflected in Other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Income Recognition and Expenses

Income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred.

 

The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; professional fees; costs of insurance; registration expenses; and expenses of meetings of the Board. Certain expenses of the Fund attributable to a particular share class will be allocated to the share class to which they are attributable.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Fund’s Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other factors or parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

 

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

3. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

 

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurement). The guidance establishes three levels of fair value as listed below.

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs

 

The notion of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Under Level 3, the owner of an asset must determine fair value based on its own assumptions about what market participants would take into account in determining the fair value of the asset, using the best information available.

 

The inputs or methodology for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement; however, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Administrator. The Administrator considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The Fund’s Private Equity Investments are generally restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and restrictions on resale and are not traded in public markets. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to resell such investments for extended periods, if at all.

As the Fund uses the NAV as a practical expedient to determine the fair value of certain Private Equity Investments, these investments have not been classified in the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2022, $614,460,363 was fair valued utilizing NAV as a practical expedient.

 

As of September 30, 2022 there were no level 3 investments held in the Fund.

*The information summarized in the table above represents the general terms for the specified investment type. Individual Private Equity Investments may have terms that are more or less restrictive than those terms indicated for the investment type as a whole. In addition, most Private Equity Investments have the flexibility, as provided for in their constituent documents, to modify and waive such terms.
**Distributions from Private Equity Investments occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from Private Equity Investments cannot be determined. It is estimated that distributions will occur over the life of the Private Equity Investments.

 

The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Private Equity Investments, for which there is no readily available market, has been estimated by the respective Private Equity Investment’s management and is based upon available information in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values and does not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.

4. MANAGEMENT FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

 

 

The Adviser provides certain management and advisory services to the Fund, including allocating the Fund’s assets and monitoring each Private Equity Investment to determine whether its investment program is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and whether its investment performance and other criteria are satisfactory. In consideration for these services, the Fund pays the Adviser a quarterly management fee of 0.4125% (1.65% on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s quarter-end NAV (before any repurchases of Shares) (the “Management Fee”). For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Fund incurred a Management Fee of $5,413,261.

 

The Administrator performs certain administrative, accounting and other services for the Fund, including (i) providing and/ or arranging and overseeing the provision of office space, adequate personnel, and communications and other facilities necessary for administration of the Fund, (ii) performing certain administrative functions to support the Fund and its service providers, (iii) supporting the Board and providing it with information, (iv) providing accounting and legal services in support of the Fund, (v) providing compliance testing services, (vi) analyzing the value of the Fund’s assets, and (vii) reviewing and arranging for payment of the Fund’s expenses and other support services.

For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Fund incurred an Administration Fee of $820,191.

 

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Fund that has been extended through September 30, 2023 (the “Limitation Period”) to limit the amount of the Fund’s aggregate quarterly ordinary operating expenses, excluding certain specified expenses listed below (“Specified Expenses”), borne by the Fund during the Limitation Period, to an amount not to exceed 0.50% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s quarter-end NAV (the “Expense Cap”). Specified Expenses include: (i) the Management Fee; (ii) all fees and expenses of Private Equity Investments and direct investments in which the Fund invests (including all acquired fund fees and expenses); (iii) transactional costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, associated with the acquisition and disposition of secondaries, primaries, direct investments, ETFs, and other investments; (iv) interest payments incurred on borrowing by the Fund; (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with any credit facility, if any, obtained by the Fund; (vi) the administration fee; (vii) the distribution and servicing fee or shareholder servicing fee, as applicable; (viii) taxes; and (ix) extraordinary expenses (expenses resulting from events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence). To the extent that the Fund’s aggregate quarterly ordinary operating expenses, exclusive of the Specified Expenses for any quarter exceed the Expense Cap, the Adviser will waive its fees and/ or reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. To the extent that the Adviser waives fees or reimburses expenses, it is permitted to recoup any amounts waived and expense amounts previously paid or borne by the Adviser, for a period not to exceed three years from the quarter in which such fees were waived or expenses were borne by the Adviser, even if such reimbursement occurs after the termination of the Limitation Period, provided that the Fund’s aggregate quarterly ordinary operating expenses for the quarter in which such reimbursement is sought, not including Specified Expenses, have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap that was in effect during the quarter in which the fees were waived or expenses were borne by the Adviser.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Adviser waived fees in the amount of $4,909, which are subject for recoupment. The Adviser recouped $376,443 of previously waived fees which is included in Recoupment of Previously Waived Fees on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Voya Investments Distributor, LLC acts as the distributor of the Shares (the “Distributor”). The Distributor directly distributes Shares to investors and may also enter into selected dealer agreements with various brokers and dealers (“Selling Agents”) that have agreed to participate in the distribution of the Fund’s Shares. The Fund pays the Distributor a quarterly fee of 0.1375% (0.55% on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s NAV attributable to Class A shares as of each quarter- end, determined as of the last day of each quarter (before any repurchases of Shares) (the “Distribution and Servicing Fee”), for distribution and investor services provided to Class A shareholders. The Distribution and Servicing Fee is charged on an aggregate class-wide basis, and shareholders are expected to be subject to the Distribution and Servicing Fee as long as they hold their Class A Shares. The Distributor may, in its sole discretion, pay various Selling Agents some or all of the Distribution and Servicing Fee to compensate such Selling Agents for distribution and servicing support. The Distributor, Adviser, and Administrator are subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 the Fund incurred a Distribution and Servicing Fee of $821,767.

5. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

 

Effective March 30, 2020, the Fund entered into a $40,000,000 revolving credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC. Effective June 3, 2021 and July 8, 2022, the Fund amended its agreement with Barclays Bank PLC to increase the size of the Barclays Facility to $80,000,000 and $175,000,000, respectively. Borrowings under the current Barclays Facility bear interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), or Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 2.85% per annum, and has a commitment fee of 0.85% per annum on the daily unused portion. The Barclays Facility has a six-year term. The Fund entered into the Barclays facility for working capital requirements, such as financing repurchases of shares, distributions to investors, and investments. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund had €43,200,000 (equivalent to $42,361,920) of outstanding borrowings on the Barclays Facility.

(4)Not applicable to senior securities outstanding as of year end.

 

6. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

 

The Fund accepts initial and additional purchases of Shares as of the first business day of each calendar quarter at the Fund’s then-current NAV per Share of each respective share class (determined as of the close of business on the last business day of the immediately preceding quarter). To provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders, the Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by shareholders. It is expected that the Adviser will normally recommend to the Board that the Fund conduct an offer to repurchase shares on a quarterly basis as of the end of each calendar quarter, so that each repurchase would occur as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of every year, although the Adviser may not recommend, and the Board may not authorize, a repurchase offer for any quarter in which the Adviser believes that it would be detrimental to the Fund for liquidity or other reasons. It is also expected that the Adviser will recommend to the Board that any such tender offer would be for an amount that is not more than 5% of the Fund’s NAV. There can be no assurance that the Board will accept the Adviser’s recommendation.

 

7. FEDERAL AND OTHER TAXES

 

 

It is the Fund’s intention to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that are applicable to a regulated investment company (“RIC”). The Fund elected to be a RIC with the filing of its 2015 federal income tax return. The Fund intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Fund is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. While the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, in a manner necessary to minimize the imposition of a 4% excise tax, there can be no assurance that it will avoid any or all of the excise tax. In such event, the Fund will be liable only for the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirements. The Fund has adopted October 31 as its tax year end. Accordingly, tax basis distributions made during the 12 months ended March 31, 2022, but after the Tax Year ended October 31, 2021, will be reflected in the notes to the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. The Fund’s open tax years generally, the three prior taxable years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities.

 

In accounting for income taxes, the Fund follows the guidance in FASB ASC Codification 740, as amended by ASU 2009-06, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Management has concluded, there were no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2022 for federal income tax purposes or in, the Fund’s major state and local tax jurisdictions; Delaware, New York State, and New York City. Management evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

Pomona Investment Fund Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements
  September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the applicable tax characterization. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Shareholders’ Capital due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnership investments. These amounts will be finalized before filing the Fund’s federal tax return.

 

At September 30, 2022, the federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of the period ended were as follows:

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes  $694,258,007 
Gross tax unrealized appreciation  $133,575,378 
Gross tax unrealized depreciation  $(65,614,435)
Net tax unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments  $67,960,943 

 

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences related to the timing of the recognition of income, gains and losses from the underlying investments for tax purposes.

 

As of October 31, 2021, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed ordinary income  $ 
Undistributed long-term capital gains    
Tax accumulated earnings    
Accumulated capital and other losses   6,556,226 
Unrealized appreciation   176,249,362 
Late year ordinary losses   (7,687,567)
Distributable net earnings  $175,118,021 

 

As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards.

 

As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had $7,687,567 of qualified late-year ordinary losses, which are deferred until the following tax year ended October 31, 2022. Net late-year losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year.

 

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The tax character of distributions paid during the tax year ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 was as follows:

 

Distribution paid from:  2021   2020 
Ordinary income  $   $ 
Long-term capital gains   7,833,651    11,604,757 
Return of Capital       7,767,178 
Total distributions paid  $7,833,651   $19,371,935

9. INDEMNIFICATION

 

 

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnification or warranties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

10. COMMITMENTS

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Fund had outstanding investment commitments to Private Equity Investments totaling $233,158,130.

 

11. REFERENCE RATE REFORM

 

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it remains unclear whether LIBOR will continue to exist after that date and, if so, in what form. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication.

 

Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on the Fund’s existing investments (including, for example, fixed-income investments; senior loans; CLOs and CDOs; and derivatives transactions), including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of the Fund; and the risk of general market disruption during the period of the conversion. It is difficult to predict at this time the likely impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund. On March 5, 2021, the FCA and ICE Benchmark Authority formally announced that certain LIBORS would cease publication after December 31, 2021 and that the remainder of LIBORs will cease publications after June 30, 2023.

 

12. MACROECONOMIC RISKS

 

The COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) global pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, and resulting supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risk and economic sanctions have disrupted global economies and financial markets and their prolonged impact is uncertain. The operational and financial performance of the Fund’s investments depends on future developments, including the duration, spread and conclusion of these events and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of the Fund’s investments.

 

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective October 3, 2022, there were subscriptions to the Fund in the amount of $74,511,197 for Class A and, $57,468,944 for Class I Shares. Through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, there have not been any additional subscriptions to the Fund.

 

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no other subsequent events that require disclosure in or adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.
