The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at December 31, 2011, 73.0% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 0.5% to 21.2% of total investments.
         
(1)
      Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
         
(2)
      Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At December 31, 2011, the aggregate value of these securities is $521,224 or 1.6% of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares.
         
(3)
      Security has been issued as a leveraged residual interest bond with a variable interest rate. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at December 31, 2011.
         
(4)
      Security is subject to a shortfall agreement which may require the Fund to pay amounts to a counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market value of the security held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $1,320,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond.
         
(5)
      Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds.
 
A summary of open financial instruments at December 31, 2011 is as follows:
 
Futures Contracts
 
                                 
Expiration
          Aggregate
          Net Unrealized
 
Month/Year   Contracts   Position   Cost     Value     Depreciation  
3/12
  10 U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note   Short   $ (1,296,154 )   $ (1,311,250 )   $ (15,096 )
3/12
  17 U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond   Short     (2,430,315 )     (2,461,813 )     (31,498 )
                                 
                            $ (46,594 )
                                 
 
At December 31, 2011, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Fund purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
 
At December 31, 2011, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $46,594.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at December 31, 2011, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 45,290,277  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 3,332,617  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (841,421 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 2,491,196  
         
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed 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 a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At December 31, 2011, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
                                 
Asset Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
   
Tax-Exempt Investments
  $     $ 48,031,473     $     $ 48,031,473  
 
 
Total Investments
  $     $ 48,031,473     $     $ 48,031,473  
 
 
                                 
Liability Description                        
   
Futures Contracts
  $ (46,594 )   $     $     $ (46,594 )
 
 
Total
  $ (46,594 )   $     $     $ (46,594 )
 
 
 
The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At December 31, 2011, the value of investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, during the fiscal year to date then ended was not significant.
 
For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.
