FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
NO. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ("FAS 157"), IS EFFECTIVE FOR THE FUND'S
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ISSUED AFTER DECEMBER 1, 2007. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAS 157,
FAIR VALUE IS DEFINED AS THE PRICE THAT THE FUND WOULD RECEIVE UPON SELLING AN
INVESTMENT IN A TIMELY TRANSACTION TO AN INDEPENDENT BUYER IN THE PRINCIPAL OR
MOST ADVANTAGEOUS MARKET OF THE INVESTMENT. FAS 157 ESTABLISHED A THREE-TIER
HIERARCHY TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF THE OBSERVABLE MARKET DATA AND MINIMIZE THE USE
OF UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS AND TO ESTABLISH CLASSIFICATION OF THE FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS FOR DISCLOSURE PURPOSES. INPUTS REFER BROADLY TO THE ASSUMPTIONS
THAT MARKET PARTICIPANTS WOULD USE IN PRICING AN ASSET. INPUTS MAY BE OBSERVABLE
OR UNOBSERVABLE. OBSERVABLE INPUTS ARE INPUTS THAT REFLECT THE ASSUMPTIONS
MARKET PARTICIPANTS WOULD USE IN PRICING THE ASSET OR LIABILITY DEVELOPED BASED
ON MARKET DATA OBTAINED FROM SOURCES INDEPENDENT OF THE REPORTING ENTITY.
UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS ARE INPUTS THAT REFLECT THE REPORTING ENTITY'S OWN
ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE ASSUMPTIONS MARKET PARTICIPANTS WOULD USE IN PRICING THE
ASSET OR LIABILITY DEVELOPED BASED ON THE BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
THE THREE-TIER HIERARCHY OF INPUTS IS SUMMARIZED IN THE THREE BROAD LEVELS
LISTED BELOW:
o LEVEL 1 - QUOTED PRICES IN ACTIVE MARKETS FOR IDENTICAL INVESTMENTS
o LEVEL 2 - OTHER SIGNIFICANT OBSERVABLE INPUTS (INCLUDING QUOTED
PRICES FOR SIMILAR INVESTMENTS, INTEREST RATES, PREPAYMENT SPEEDS,
CREDIT RISKS, ETC.)
o LEVEL 3 - SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS (INCLUDING THE FUND'S OWN
ASSUMPTIONS IN DETERMINING THE FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS)
THE VALUATION TECHNIQUES USED BY THE FUND TO MEASURE FAIR VALUE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH FAS 157 DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2008 MAXIMIZED THE USE
OF OBSERVABLE INPUTS AND MINIMIZED THE USE OF UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS.
