Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Income Tax Information
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate transactions subject to SFAS No. 140, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments was $13,892,389.
Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at July 31, 2009, were as follows:
| Gross unrealized: | |
| Appreciation | $399,831 |
| Depreciation | (14,682) |
| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $385,149 |
| (1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common |
| shares unless otherwise noted. | |
| (2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. |
| There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities | |
| may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. | |
| (3) | Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”) or Moody’s Investor Service, |
| Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s are considered to be | |
