Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust's policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust's policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust's most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.

The following table summarizes the Trust's investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of July 31, 2012:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:        
Investments:        
Long-Term        
Investments1            — $261,638,245 $261,638,245
Short-Term        
Securities $ 893,392                 —          893,392
Total $ 893,392 $261,638,245 $262,531,637

 

1See above Schedule of Investments for values in each state or political subdivision.

Certain of the Trust’s liabilities are held at carrying amount, which approximates fair value for financial reporting purposes. As of July 31, 2012, TOB Trust Certificates of $94,802,929 are categorized as Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy.

There were no transfers between levels during the period ended July 31, 2012.
