VALUATION INPUTS Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund's investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards: 1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) 2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) 3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager's own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2009 based on valuation input level:
LEVEL 3-- LEVEL 1-- LEVEL 2-- SIGNIFICANT UNADJUSTED OTHER SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE QUOTED PRICES OBSERVABLE INPUTS INPUTS VALUE ------------- ----------------- ------------ ------------ ASSETS TABLE INVESTMENTS, AT VALUE: U.S. Government Agencies $-- $125,940,029 $-- $125,940,029 --- ------------ --- ------------ Total Assets $-- $125,940,029 $-- $125,940,029 --- ------------ --- ------------
Currency contracts and forwards, if any, are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract's value from trade date. Futures, if any, are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. All additional assets and liabilities included in the above table are reported at their market value at measurement date. SEE THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE METHODS USED IN DETERMINING VALUE OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS, AND A SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE VALUATION TECHNIQUES, IF ANY, DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. 1 | Centennial Government Trust Centennial Government Trust STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS September 30, 2009 / Unaudited NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS SECURITIES VALUATION. The net asset value of shares of the Trust is normally determined twice each day, at Noon Eastern time and at 4:00 P.M. Eastern time on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for trading. Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Each investment asset or liability of the Trust is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as "Level 1," inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as "Level 2" and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager's judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as "Level 3." The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Trust's investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments. In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Trust's assets are valued but after the close of the securities' respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period. 2 | Centennial Government Trust ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
