Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS (SFAS) No. 157 is effective for the Fund's financial statements issued
after December 1, 2007. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a fair
value hierarchy and specifies that a valuation technique used to measure fair
value shall maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine
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 (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives
the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
under SFAS No. 157 are described below:
- Level 1 -- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access
at the measurement date;
- Level 2 -- Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
- Level 3 -- Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the
Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where
there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the
measurement date.
As required by SFAS No.157, investments are classified within the level of the
lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments
classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs
may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value
measurement. The following table sets forth information about the level within
the fair value hierarchy at which the Fund's investments are measured at
February 28, 2009:
