At December 31, 2007, the Fund holds no securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
1
Denotes a restricted security that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) is subject to a contractual restriction on public sales. At December 31, 2007, these restricted securities amounted to $19,482,012, which represented 4.0% of total net assets.
2
Denotes a restricted security that may be resold without restriction to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and that the Fund has determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Directors”). At December 31, 2007, these liquid restricted securities amounted to $14,384,504, which represented 3.0% of total net assets.

At December 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $467,124,640. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $9,261,515. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $17,065,948 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $7,804,433.
5
Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities.

 
Note:         The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets at December 31, 2007.

 
 
Investment Valuation
 
In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:
 
·  
Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Directors.
 
·  
Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium).
 
·  
Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
 
·  
Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Directors.
 
·  
Shares of other mutual funds are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
 
If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV.
 
 
Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures
 
The Directors have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions.  Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation).  Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation).  The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities.  The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts.  In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Directors.
 
The Directors also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:
 
·  
With respect to price evaluations of fixed-income securities determined before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, actions by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and other significant trends in U.S. fixed-income markets;
 
·  
Political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which an issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded; and
 
·  
Announcements concerning matters such as acquisitions, recapitalizations, litigation developments, a natural disaster affecting the issuer’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry.
 

 
The Fund may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources.  If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Fund will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Directors.
