Notes to Schedule of Investments:
 
(a)
 
Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s board of directors. 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 security is purchased or 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. Exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by FAF Advisors, Inc., on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Swaps are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service. Security valuations are performed once a week and at the end of each month.
 
As of November 30, 2007, the fund held a fair valued security with a value of $11,358, or 0.01% of total net assets.
 
(b)
 
Securities sold within 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 November 30, 2007, the value of these investments was $8,730,814 or 10.7% of total net assets.
     
(c)
 
Variable Rate Security - The rate shown is in effect as of November 30, 2007.
