The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Pennsylvania municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at December 31, 2012, 56.3% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 1.7% to 22.6% of total investments.

 

(1) Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds.

 

(2) Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for residual interest bond transactions. The aggregate value of such collateral is $1,063,965.

A summary of open financial instruments at December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Futures Contracts

 

Expiration
Month/Year		   

Contracts

    Position    Aggregate Cost     Value     Net Unrealized
Appreciation		  
3/13    60 U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond    Short    $     (8,973,171 )    $     (8,850,000 )    $     123,171   

At December 31, 2012, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Fund purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

At December 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in an asset position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $123,171.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at December 31, 2012, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

Aggregate cost

    $     57,709,437   
  

 

 

  

Gross unrealized appreciation

    $ 5,955,865   

Gross unrealized depreciation

      (557,804 ) 
  

 

 

  

Net unrealized appreciation

    $ 5,398,061   
  

 

 

  

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 December 31, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Tax-Exempt Investments

    $ —       $ 65,147,498       $ —       $ 65,147,498   

Total Investments

    $ —       $ 65,147,498       $ —       $ 65,147,498   

Futures Contracts

    $     123,171       $ —       $ —       $ 123,171   

Total

    $ 123,171       $     65,147,498       $ —       $     65,270,669   

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At December 31, 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.
