FAS 157 - Summary of Fair Value Exposure at February 28, 2009
               
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting
               
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the 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 the fair value of investments)
 
               
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
               
               
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's (Portfolio's) net assets as of February 28, 2009:

Total
  $ 20,958,714     $ -
