  Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a)   
Security valuations for the fund’s investments (other than whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights) are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the fund utilizes the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price.  If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques.  These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions.  Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system.  When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund’s board of directors.  Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased or sold.  If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value.  Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value. Security valuations are performed once a week and at the end of the each month.
 
The fund’s investments in whole loans (single family, multifamily, and commercial), participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are generally not traded in any organized market and therefore, market quotations are not readily available. These investments are valued at fair value according to procedures adopted by the fund’s board of directors. Pursuant to these procedures, whole loan investments are initially valued at cost and their values are subsequently monitored and adjusted using a FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”) pricing model designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments.  The pricing model takes into account a number of relevant factors including the projected rate of prepayments, the delinquency profile, the historical payment record, the expected yield at purchase, changes in prevailing interest rates, and changes in the real or perceived liquidity of whole loans, participation mortgages, or mortgage servicing rights, as the case may be. The results of the pricing model may be further subject to price ceilings due to the illiquid nature of the loans. Changes in prevailing interest rates, real or perceived liquidity, yield spreads, and creditworthiness are factored into the pricing model each week.
 
Certain mortgage loan information is received once a month.  This information includes, but is not limited to, the projected rate of prepayments, projected rate and severity of defaults, the delinquency profile, and the historical payment record.  Valuations of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are determined no less frequently than weekly.  Although FAF Advisors believes the pricing model to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights can only be determined in a negotiation between the fund and third parties.
 
In accordance with the valuation procedures adopted by the fund’s board of directors, real estate acquired through foreclosure, if any, is valued at estimated market value, as determined by independent third party appraisals, less estimated selling costs. As material capital improvements are made to the property, new market value appraisals are obtained.
 
As of May 31, 2007, the fund held fair valued securities with a value of $194,180,579 or 99.2% of net assets.
