(a)

Security valuation — Equity securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of Trustees. Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. For securities with no sale reported, the last reported bid price is used. Corporate debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of Trustees, which determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between s ecurities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. United States government debt securities are valued at the current closing bid, as last reported by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates value. Other assets and securities which are not readily marketable will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees.

(b)

Non-income producing security.

(c)

An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a certificate issued by a U.S. bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. The values of ADRs are significantly influenced by trading on exchanges not located in the United States or Canada.

(d)

Federal Tax Information: At September 30, 2009, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on cost of $442,988,376 for Federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there

   is an excess of value over tax cost

$98,019,257 

 

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there

   is an excess of tax cost over value

(1,958,118)

 

 

$96,061,139 

The cost basis and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for the schedule of investments and tax purposes differ due to differing treatments of wash sale losses deferred.




In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 820), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Fund adopted the provisions of ASC 820 on January 1, 2008. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.


In accordance with ASC 820, the Fund may use valuation techniques consistent with the market, income, and cost approach to measure fair value. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (cash flows, earnings) to a single present amount. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosure, the Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the various inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:


Level 1 – Prices determined using: quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – Prices determined using: other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Prices determined using: significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable, (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s management’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available in the circumstances.


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 to value CGM Mutual Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2009:

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, these procedures may be used. The frequency with which these procedures are used is unpredictable. The valuation procedures may result in a change to a particular security’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy described above. The value of securities used for Net Asset Value (“NAV”) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

(a)

Security valuation — Equity securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of Trustees. Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. For securities with no sale reported, the last reported bid price is used for long positions and the last reported ask price for short positions. Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates value. Other assets and securities which are not readily marketable will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees.

(b)

Non-income producing security.

(c)

An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a certificate issued by a U.S. bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. The values of ADRs are significantly influenced by trading on exchanges not located in the United States or Canada.

(d)

A portion of this security has been segregated as collateral in connection with short sale investments. The market value of securities held in a segregated account at September 30, 2009 was $221,220,000 and the value of cash held in a segregated account was $129,391,303.




(e)

Federal Tax Information: At September 30, 2009, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on cost of $2,933,700,602 for Federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there
  is an excess of value over tax cost

$683,021,002 

 

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there

   is an excess of tax cost over value

(16,321,104)

 

 

$666,699,898 

The cost basis and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for the schedule of investments and tax purposes differ due to differing treatments of wash sale losses deferred.

In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 820), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Fund adopted the provisions of ASC 820 on January 1, 2008. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.


In accordance with ASC 820, the Fund may use valuation techniques consistent with the market, income, and cost approach to measure fair value. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (cash flows, earnings) to a single present amount. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosure, the Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the various inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:


Level 1 – Prices determined using: quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – Prices determined using: other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Prices determined using: significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect Fund’s management’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available in the circumstances.




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 to value CGM Focus Fund’s investments and securities sold short as of September 30, 2009:

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, these procedures maybe used. The frequency with which these procedures are used is unpredictable. These valuation procedures may result in a change to a particular security’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy described above. The value of securities used for Net Asset Value (“NAV”) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
