Notes to Schedule of Portfolio Investments (Unaudited):

Valuation of Investments

Securities traded primarily on a U.S. national securities exchange (“USNSE”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the day the valuations are made. Securities traded primarily on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) are normally valued by the Funds at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) provided by Nasdaq each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., ET, unless that price is outside the range of the “inside” bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, Nasdaq will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the NOCP may not be based on the price of the last trade to occur before the market closes. Securities that are not traded on a particular day, and securities traded in foreign and over-the-counter markets that are not also traded on a USNSE or Nasdaq, are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Certain of the securities in which the Funds may invest are priced through pricing services that may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features, and ratings on comparable securities. Bonds may be valued according to prices quoted by a bond dealer that offers pricing services. Open end investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign securities markets may be open on days when the U.S. markets are closed. For this reason, the value of any foreign securities owned by the Fund could change on a day when stockholders cannot buy or sell shares of the Fund. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or reliable and other assets may be valued as determined in good faith by the Investment Manager under the direction of and pursuant to procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ from the net asset value that would be calculated using market prices.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund uses a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 -  
quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 -  
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 -  
significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2010, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value. Refer to the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for detailed information on specific investments.

Cost for Federal Income Tax Purposes

At March 31, 2010, for federal income tax purposes the cost of investments was $6,895,539 and net unrealized depreciation aggregated $1,454,874, comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $423,858 and gross unrealized depreciation of $1,878,732.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities

The Fund owns securities which have a limited trading market and/or certain restrictions on trading and, therefore, may be illiquid and/or restricted. Such securities have been valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for these securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. At March 31, 2010, the Fund held the following illiquid and/or restricted securities:

Securities Lending

The Fund may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions. The Fund receives compensation in the form of fees, or retains a portion of the interest on the investment in any cash received as collateral. The Fund receives as collateral cash deposits, U.S. Government securities, or bank letters of credit valued at not less that 102% of the value of the securities on loan. Cash deposits are invested in a registered money market fund. The value of the loaned securities is determined based upon the most recent closing prices and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Any increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared on those securities during the term of the loan would remain in the Fund. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities default. As of March 31, 2010, the value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding was $1,002,615 and $1,052,603, respectively.
