Note 1 - Valuation of Securities
     
   
Investments are recorded on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates value, as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Under this 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 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, September 30, 2014.  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.
