*Security Valuation

 

Securities of the Funds are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Securities traded on securities exchanges or in over-the-counter markets in which transaction prices are reported are valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. If a security is traded principally on the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc., the Nasdaq Official Closing Price will be applied. Securities for which there are no reported sales on the valuation date are valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term debt obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less from the valuation date are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximate fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Trust has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which Fund shares are priced. If a security is valued at a “fair value”, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

Notes to Statement of Investments (in thousands)

 

*Security Valuation:

 

Securities of the Funds are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Securities traded on securities exchanges or in over-the-counter markets in which transaction prices are reported are valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. If a security is traded principally on the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc., the Nasdaq Official Closing Price will be applied. Securities for which there are no reported sales on the valuation date are valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term debt obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less from the valuation date are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximate fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Trust has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which Fund shares are priced. If a security is valued at a “fair value”, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

*Security Valuation

 

Securities of the Funds are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Securities traded on securities exchanges or in over-the-counter markets in which transaction prices are reported are valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. If a security is traded principally on the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc., the Nasdaq Official Closing Price will be applied. Securities for which there are no reported sales on the valuation date are valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term debt obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less from the valuation date are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximate fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Trust has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which Fund shares are priced. If a security is valued at a “fair value”, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

(a)          At September 30, 2006, for federal income tax purposes cost of investments was $1,125,100 and net unrealized appreciation was $369,952 consisting of gross unrealized appreciation of $426,495 and gross unrealized depreciation of $(56,543).

(b)         Non-income producing security.

(c)          An affiliate may include any company in which the Fund owns five percent or more of its outstanding voting shares. On September 30, 2006, the Fund held five percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of the following companies:

 

RCM Technologies

 

6.66

%

 

The aggregate cost and value of these companies at September 30, 2006, was $5,636 and $3,985 respectively. Investments in affiliate companies represent 0.27% of total net assets at September 30, 2006. Investment activity and income amounts relating to affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were as follows:

 

Dividend Income

 

$

 

Net realized gain or loss

 

 

Change in unrealized gain or loss

 

39,300

 

 

 

 

 

Purchases

 

 

Proceeds from sales

 

 

 

(d)         Denotes a restricted security, which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities are valued in good faith by the Board of Trustees. At September 30, 2006, these securities amounted to $186 which represents 0.01% of total net assets.

*Security Valuation

 

Securities of the Funds are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Securities traded on securities exchanges or in over-the-counter markets in which transaction prices are reported are valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. If a security is traded principally on the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc., the Nasdaq Official Closing Price will be applied. Securities for which there are no reported sales on the valuation date are valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term debt obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less from the valuation date are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximate fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Trust has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which Fund shares are priced. If a security is valued at a "fair value", that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

(a)               At September 30, 2006, for federal income tax purposes cost of investments was $1,451,614 and net unrealized appreciation was $493,197 consisting of gross unrealized appreciation of $526,851 and gross unrealized depreciation of $(33,654).
