The Fund did not have any open financial instruments at June 30, 2012.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2012, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

Aggregate cost

   $     41,032,108

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is 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)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed 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.

At June 30, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1     Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Common Stocks

   $ 42,026,115   $       $       $ 42,026,115   

Short-Term Investments

            365,824                 365,824   

Total Investments

   $     42,026,115      $     365,824       $       $     42,391,939   

 

* The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Portfolio of Investments.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At June 30, 2012, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.

For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is 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)

 

3


In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed 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.

At June 30, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Taxable Municipal Securities

   $ —         $ 94,661,376       $ —         $ 94,661,376   

Short-Term Investments

     —           6,892,960         —           6,892,960   

Total Investments

   $ —         $ 101,554,336       $ —         $ 101,554,336   

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At June 30, 2012, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.
