* Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is identical.  All securities are valued at amortized cost and as a result, there is no unrealized appreciation and depreciation.
 
FOOTNOTES:
               
 
a)
 
Unless the securities are assigned their own ratings, the ratings are those of the bank whose letter of credit guarantees the issue or the insurance company who insures the issue.  All letters of credit and insurance are irrevocable and direct pay covering both principal and interest. Ratings are unaudited.
     
In addition, certain issuers may have either a line of credit, a liquidity facility, a standby purchase agreement or some other financing mechanism to ensure the remarketing of the securities.  This is not a guarantee and does not serve to insure or collateralize the issue.
                       
 
b)
 
Securities that are not rated which the Fund’s adviser has determined to be of comparable quality to those rated securities in which the Fund invests.
                       
 
c)
 
Securities payable on demand at par including accrued interest (usually with seven days’ notice) and, if indicated, unconditionally secured as to principal and interest by a bank letter of credit. The interest rates are adjustable and are based on bank prime rates or other interest rate adjustment indices. The rate shown is the rate in effect at the date of this statement.
                       
 
d)
 
Security subject to alternative minimum tax.

Note 1 - Valuation of Securities
               
     
Investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  Under this valuation method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the instrument. The maturity of variable rate demand instruments is deemed to be the longer of the period required before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the principal amount or the period remaining until the next interest rate adjustment.
                       
     
Under the provisions of GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quotes prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
 
Level 1  –
 
prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
 
Level 2  –
 
prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that the other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
 
Level 3  –
 
prices are 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 own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
 
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, July 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Money market securities may be valued using amortized cost, in accordance with the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but as the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as a Level 2.
