    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, 2008, 87.0% 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 2.4% to 33.9% of total investments.
 
(1)   Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
 
(2)   Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2008, the aggregate value of these securities is $228,624 or 1.0% of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares.
 
(3)   Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(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 underlying the inverse floater. 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 underlying the inverse floater.
 
(5)   Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for open swap contracts.
 
(6)   Security represents the underlying municipal bond of a tender option bond trust.

At December 31, 2008, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at December 31, 2008, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, 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)
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, 2008, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
                         
            Investments in     Other Financial  
        Valuation Inputs   Securities     Instruments*  
Level 1  
Quoted Prices
  $     $ (626,613 )
Level 2  
Other Significant Observable Inputs
    40,829,746       (890,078 )
Level 3  
Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
       
 
           
Total  
 
  $ 40,829,746     $ (1,516,691 )
       
 
           
*   Other financial instruments include futures and interest rate swap contracts not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2008 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.
For information on the Fund’s policy regarding 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.
