Fair Value Measurements - In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There has been no impact to the Fund as a result of the adoption of FAS 157.

 

In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment.  FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.  Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  Inputs may be observable or unobservable.  Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  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 the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of  September 30, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

As all assets of the Fund are classified as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2009 is presented.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at September 30, 2009 was $27,316,614, excluding short-term interest-bearing investments.  At September 30, 2009, the net unrealized appreciation on investments, excluding short-term securities, of $4,841,765 was composed of gross appreciation of $6,210,787 for those investments having an excess of value over cost, and gross depreciation of $1,369,022 for those investments having an excess of cost over value.
