The Portfolio did not have any open financial instruments at May 31, 2009.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at May 31, 2009, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 77,639,123  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 22,503,709  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (4,109,657 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 18,394,052  
         
 
The Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective September 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At May 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
             
        Investments in
 
    Valuation Inputs   Securities  
Level 1
  Quoted Prices   $ 2,529,968  
Level 2
  Other Significant Observable Inputs     93,005,228  
Level 3
  Significant Unobservable Inputs     497,979  
             
Total
      $ 96,033,175  
             
 
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:
 
         
    Investments in
 
    Securities  
Balance as of August 31, 2008
  $  
Realized gains (losses)

Accrued discount (premium)
     
Net transfers to (from) Level 3
    2,747,942  
         
Balance as of May 31, 2009

Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments still held as of May 31, 2009
  $ (2,249,963 )

FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

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

The Portfolio did not have any open financial instruments at May 31, 2009.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at May 31, 2009, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 1,155,655,248  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 126,234,282  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (186,238,315 )

The Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective September 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At May 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
             
        Investments in
 
    Valuation Inputs   Securities  
Level 1
  Quoted Prices   $ 854,313,479  
Level 2
  Other Significant Observable Inputs     241,337,723  
Level 3
  Significant Unobservable Inputs     13  
             
Total
      $ 1,095,651,215  
             
 
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:
 
         
    Investments in
 
    Securities  
Balance as of August 31, 2008
  $ 269  
Realized gains (losses)
     
Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

Net purchases (sales)
     
Net transfers to (from) Level 3
     
         
Balance as of May 31, 2009
  $ 13  
         
         
Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments still held as of May 31, 2009
  $ (256 )
