Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a)
 
Security valuations for the fund’s investments are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s board of directors. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund’s board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value.
 
As of May 31, 2006, the fund had no fair valued securities.
 
(b)
 
 
Delayed interest (Step Bonds) - Securities for which the coupon rate of interest will adjust on specified future date(s).
 
(c)
 
 
Securities sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be sold only to dealers in that program or other “qualified institutional buyers.” These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the fund’s board of directors. As of May 31, 2006, the value of these investments was $6,746,511 or 8.2% of net assets.
 
(d)
 
 
Interest only - Represents securities that entitle holders to receive only interest payments on the mortgage. The interest rate disclosed represents the coupon rate in effect as of May 31, 2006.
 
(e)
 
 
Z-Bond - Represents securities that pay no interest or principal during their accrual periods, but accrue additional principal at specified rates. Interest rate shown represents the current yield based upon the current cost basis and estimated future cash flows.
 
(f)
 
 
Variable Rate Security - The rate shown is the rate in effect as of May 31, 2006.
 
(g)
