  (a)  Security exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
    Certain restricted securities are exempt from the registration requirements under
    Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and may only be sold to qualified
    institutional investors. At September 30, 2012, the Fund held three Section 4(2)
    securities with an aggregate value of $1,199,629 representing 13.0% of the Fund's
    net assets.

 



Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for
disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs
may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield
curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumption
about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

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

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2012:

 

    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3     Total
U.S. Government Agency Obligations   $ -   $ 4,206,454   $  -   $ 4,206,454
Variable and Floating Rate Notes:

Municipal Bonds     -     900,000     -     900,000

Short-Term U.S. Government Obligations     -     1,799,883     -     1,799,883
Total Investments in Securities   $ -   $ 9,216,385   $  -   $ 9,216,385

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2012. Transfers,
if any, between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

    At September 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax
    purposes was $60,477,489. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation
    on investments was $13,384,654, consisting of $14,587,037 gross

    depreciation.

 



Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value
measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own
assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information
available.
 
The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2012:

 

      Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Common Stocks   $ 70,862,174   $ -   $ -   $ 70,862,174
Short-Term U.S. Government              
Obligations     -   2,999,969   -     2,999,969
Total Investments in Securities*   $ 70,862,174   $ 2,999,969   $ -   $ 73,862,143

 

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization for common stocks.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2012. Transfers, if any,
between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

    At September 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income
    tax purposes was $263,418,363. Accumulated net unrealized
    appreciation on investments was $94,988,949, consisting of

    unrealized depreciation.

 



Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value
measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own
assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information
available.
 
The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2012:

 

    Level 1   Level 2 Level 3   Total
Common Stocks*   $ 358,407,312 $  -   $ -   $ 358,407,312

 

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2012. Transfers, if any, between
Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

  (a)  Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
    1933. Certain restricted securities are exempt from the registration
    requirements under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 and may only be
    sold to qualified institutional investors. At September 30, 2012, the Fund
    held ninety-three 144A securities with an aggregate value of $26,518,591
    representing 32.5% of the Fund's net assets.
   
  (b)  A portion or all of the security purchased on a when-issued or delayed
    delivery basis.
   
  (c)  Securities fair valued as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures
    adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At September 30, 2012, the Fund
    held three securities that were fair valued by the Valuation Committee with
    an aggregate value of $375 representing 0% of the Fund's net assets.

    purposes was $75,426,583. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on
    investments was $2,920,946, consisting of $4,320,090 gross unrealized
    appreciation and $1,399,144 gross unrealized depreciation.

 



Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value
measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments,
interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's
own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best
information available.
 
The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2012:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total
Corporate Bonds   $ -   $ 75,259,782   $ 375   $ 75,260,157

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2012. Transfers, if any,
between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The following table presents additional information about valuation methodologies and inputs used for investments that are measured at fair value and
categorized within Level 3 as of September 30, 2012.

 

                      Impact to
                      Valuation
                      from and
    Fair Value   Valuation   Unobservable       Increase
    September 30, 2012   Methodologies   Input(s)(1)   Range   in Input(2)

              Bankruptcy        
 
Common Stock   $ -   Market Comparables   Market Comparables/   100%   Increase
              Bankruptcy        

 

(1) In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions,
  industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies and company specific
  developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. Management has determined that market
  participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments.
 
(2) This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from
  an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the
  opposite effect.

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements
for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment
speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own
assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information
available.
 
The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2012:

 

    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Corporate Bonds*   $ -   $ 53,727,480   $ -   $ 53,727,480

 

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2012. Transfers, if any,
between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

    appreciation on investments was $3,548,877, consisting of
    entirely of unrealized appreciation.

 



Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements
for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment
speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own
assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information
available.
 
The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2012:

 

    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
U.S. Government Agency              
Zero Coupon Obligations   $ -   $ 14,597,669   $ -   $ 14,597,669
U.S. Government              
Zero Coupon Obligations   -     10,317,067   -     10,317,067
Total Investments in Securities   $ -   $ 24,914,736   $ -   $ 24,914,736

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2012. Transfers, if any,
between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

 


Security Valuation - Except as provided below, a security listed or traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq
Stock Market is valued at its last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is principally
traded, and lacking any sales, the security is valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market (including securities listed on exchanges whose
primary market is believed to be OTC) are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices based
upon quotes furnished by a market maker for such securities. Securities may also be priced by pricing
services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The pricing services consider security
type, rating, market condition and yield data as well as market quotations, prices provided by market makers
and other available information in determining value. Short-term debt securities that mature in 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost.
 
The Funds monitor for significant events occurring prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange that could have a material impact on the value of any securities that are held by the Funds.
Examples of such events include trading halts, natural disasters, political events and issuer-specific
developments. If the Valuation Committee decides that such events warrant using fair value estimates, it will
take such events into consideration in determining the fair values of such securities. If market quotations or
prices are not readily available or determined to be unreliable, the securities will also be valued at fair value
as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. The Funds also use a pricing
service to fair value foreign securities in the event that fluctuations in U.S. securities markets exceed a
predetermined level or if a foreign market is closed. For valuation purposes, where applicable, quotations of
foreign securities in foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollar equivalents using the foreign exchange
quotation in effect.
 
The Cash Management Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized cost method of
valuation under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Amortized cost is an approximation of market value of an
instrument, whereby the difference between its acquisition cost and market value at maturity is amortized on
a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the instrument. The effect of changes in the market value of a
security as a result of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into account and thus the amortized cost method
of valuation may result in the value of a security being higher or lower than its actual market value.
 
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), investments held by the Funds are carried at "fair value". As defined by ASC
820, fair value is the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to
an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market
conditions. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.
 
In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a
classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is
summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to
  access. 

 



Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
  liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical
  instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment
  speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not
  available, representing the Fund's own assumption about the assumptions a market participant
  would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

Equity securities traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market are categorized in Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy to the extent that they are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied. Foreign
securities that are fair valued in the event that fluctuations in U.S. securities markets exceed a predetermined
level or if a foreign market is closed are categorized in Level 2. Corporate and municipal bonds, asset
backed, U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agency securities are categorized in Level 2 to the extent
that the inputs are observable and timely, otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3. Short-term notes
that are valued at amortized cost are categorized in Level 2. Foreign exchange contracts that are considered
derivative instruments and are valued at the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the instruments
are categorized in Level 2. Restricted securities and securities that are fair valued by the Valuation
Committee may be categorized in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the
relative significance of valuation inputs.
 
The aggregate value by input level, as of September 30, 2012, is included at the end of each Fund's schedule
of investments.
 
Investments in securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are generally reflected in the
assets of the Funds on the first business day following the date the securities are purchased and the Funds
segregated assets for these transactions.
