    The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest 
    coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security 
    comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance 
    and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are 
    included in the Portfolio of Investments with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market 
    prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that 
    pay interest periodically. 
(1)    All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common 
    Shares unless otherwise noted. 
(2)    Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. 
    There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities 
    may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. 
(3)    Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”) or Moody’s Investor 
    Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s are 
    considered to be below investment grade. 
    The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments reflect the AAA ratings on certain bonds 
    insured by AMBAC, FGIC, XCLA or MBIA and/or the A ratings on certain bonds insured by ACA as of 
    December 31, 2007. During December 2007, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for ACA 
    bonds to CCC. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for 
    AMBAC-insured bonds to AA, the rating for XCLA-insured bonds to A and the rating for FGIC-insured 
    bonds to A3. One or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on “negative credit 
    watch”, which may presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. 
    If one or more insurers’ ratings are reduced below AAA (or A in the case of ACA) by these rating 
    agencies, it would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer 
    or insurers. 
(4)    Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency 
    securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally 
    considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities. 
(5)    Non-income producing. 
(6)    On December 9, 2002, UAL Corporation (“UAL”), the holding company of United Air Lines, Inc. 
    (“United”) filed for federal bankruptcy protection. The Adviser determined that it was likely that 
    United would not remain current on their interest payment obligations with respect to the bonds 
    previously held and thus the Fund had stopped accruing interest on its UAL bonds. On February 1, 
    2006, UAL emerged from federal bankruptcy with the acceptance of its reorganization plan by the 
    bankruptcy court. Under the settlement agreement established to meet UAL’s unsecured bond 
    obligations, the bondholders, including the Fund, received three distributions of UAL common 
    stock over the subsequent months, and the bankruptcy court dismissed all unsecured claims of 
    bondholders, including those of the Fund. On May 5, 2006, the Fund liquidated such UAL common 
    stock holdings. On September 29, 2006, May 30, 2007 and November 14, 2007, the Fund received
    additional distributions of 1,901, 617 and 172 shares, respectively, of UAL common stock as a
    result of its earlier ownership of the UAL bonds. The Fund liquidated 1,901 shares of such UAL
    common stock holdings on November 15, 2006. The remaining 789 shares of UAL common stock
    were still held by the Fund at December 31, 2007.
N/R    Not rated. 
(ETM)    Escrowed to maturity. 
(IF)    Inverse floating rate investment. 

Income Tax Information

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.

At December 31, 2007, the cost of investments was $224,286,330.

  Appreciation    $12,569,437 
  Depreciation    (865,618)
