FAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Fund's investments, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized 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 the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Securities are valued at the mean between the last quoted bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various other relationships between securities. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, the Fund may value these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value: INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES VALUATION INPUTS AT VALUE ------------------------- Level 1 - Quoted Prices $ 287,696,452 Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs -- Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 287,696,452 ================================================================================ (2) Percentage figures indicate percentage of total net assets. (3) Presently non-income producing securities. (4) This security represents an investment in an affiliated party. ITEM 2.
