(a)
Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" - Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
 
• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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)
       
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:
 
 
Valuation Inputs
 
Investments in Securities
   
Other Financial Instruments*****
 
 
Level 1 - Quoted Prices

Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs
    -       -  
 
Total
  $ 129,693,244     $ 170,330  
 
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  For example, short-term debt instruments and repurchase agreements with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
       
(b)
Represents cost for financial reporting purposes and differs for federal income tax purposes by the amount of losses deferred for federal income tax reporting in the amount of $312,180.  Cost for federal income tax purposes of $115,517,294 differs from value by net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities as follows:
 
 
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 14,175,950

(a)
Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" - Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
     
 
• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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)
           
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:
 
 
Valuation Inputs
 
Investments in Securities
   
Other Financial Instruments*****
 
 
Level 1 - Quoted Prices
  $ 60,034,946     $ 91,080

Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs
    -        -  
 
Total
  $ 61,324,932     $ 91,080  
 
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  For example, short-term debt instruments and repurchase agreements with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
           
(b)
Represents cost for financial reporting purposes and differs for federal income tax purposes by the amount of losses deferred for federal income tax reporting in the amount of $15,532.  Cost for federal income tax purposes of $57,037,529 differs from value by net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities as follows:
 
 
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 4,499,679  
 
Unrealized depreciation
    (212,276 )
 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" - Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
     
 
• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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)
           
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  For example, short-term debt instruments and repurchase agreements with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
           
(b)
Represents cost for financial reporting purposes and differs for federal income tax purposes by the amount of losses deferred for federal income tax reporting in the amount of $214,388.  Cost for federal income tax purposes of $16,604,267 differs from value by net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities as follows:

(a)
Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" - Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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)
   
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:
 
 
Valuation Inputs
 
Investments in Securities
   
Other Financial Instruments******
 
 
Level 1 - Quoted Prices
  $ 58,730,172     $ -  
 
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs
    79,396,786       -  
 
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs
    -       -  
 
Total
  $ 138,126,958     $ -  
 
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  For example, short-term debt instruments and repurchase agreements with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
 
 
 

 
 
(b)
Cost for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes are the same.

7-day yield as of March 31, 2011.
   
*
Variable rate security.  Securities payable at par including accrued interest (usually within seven days notice) and unconditionally secured as to principal and interest by letters of credit or other credit support agreements from major banks.  The interest rates are adjustable and are based on bank prime rates or other interest rate adjustment indices.  The rate shown represents the rate in effect at March 31, 2011. The maturity date shown reflects the earlier of the next demand date or stated maturity date.
   
**
Floating rate security.  The rate shown represents the rate in effect at March 31, 2011.
   
***
Represents a restricted security purchased under Rule 144A, which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Security is restricted as to resale to institutional investors, but has been deemed liquid in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees.  Bath Technologies was acquired on 10/18/1999.  Cascade Plaza Project was acquired on 2/28/2002.  Martin Wheel Co., Inc. was acquired on 1/26/2001.  Springside Corp. Exchange Partners LLC was acquired on 2/5/2004.  As of March 31, 2011, securities restricted as to resale to institutional investors represented 8.0% of Total Investments.  The fair value noted approximates amortized cost.
   
****
Illiquid security.  The sale or disposition of such security would not be possible in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Fund has valued the security.  As of March 31, 2011, illiquid securities represented 3.6% of Total Investments.
   
*****
Assets of affiliates to The Money Market Fund held for the benefit of the Fund's Trustees in connection with the Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan.
   
******
Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.
