NOTES TO THE SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS
August 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

Investment Valuation—A portfolio security listed or traded on an exchange in domestic or international markets is valued at the last reported sale price of the primary exchange on which it trades before the time when the Funds value assets. Lacking any sales on the principal exchange that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, if available. Securities traded on more than one market are valued using the market identified as primary based on trading volume and activity. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If there are no sales that day, such securities will be valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotation, if available. Other over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sale price, if published, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotation, if available. Debt securities with maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued based on amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available, or when the portfolio management team believes that a readily available market quotation or other valuation produced by the Funds’ valuation policies is not reliable, the Funds value the assets at fair value using procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Board members have delegated pricing authority to the fair valuation committee of the adviser, for certain pricing issues, as defined in the valuation procedures. Events affecting the value of securities that occur between the time prices are established and the New York Stock Exchange closes are not reflected in the calculation of net asset value unless the fair valuation committee decides that the event would materially affect the net asset value. If the event would materially affect the Funds’ net asset values, the security will be fair valued by the fair valuation committee or, at its discretion, by an independent fair valuation vendor. At August 31, 2008, no securities were valued as determined by the Board of Directors.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements". This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds adopted SFAS No. 157 on June 1, 2008. The Funds do not believe adoption of SFAS No. 157 has made a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received by the Funds upon selling an asset or paid by the Funds to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of a principal market for the asset or liability, the assumption is that the transaction occurs on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS 157 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions, also known as "inputs," to valuation techniques used by market participants to measure fair value. The term "inputs" refers 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 (such as 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 valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three levels with the highest priority given to Level 1 and the lowest priority given to Level 3.

SFAS No. 157 - Summary of Fair Value Exposure at August 31, 2008

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value investments)

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