Fair Value Measurements

During the current fiscal period, the Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No.157) "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In determining the value of the Fund's investments various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including management's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund's fair value measurements as of July 31, 2009:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
Investments:         
 Municipal Bonds  $ —  $337,622,218  $ —  $337,622,218 
Derivatives:         
 Forward Swaps*  —  461,676  —  461,676 
Total  $ —  $338,083,894  $ —  $338,083,894 
* Represents net unrealized appreciation (depreciation).         

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

During the current fiscal period, the Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS No. 161) “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This standard is intended to enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to better understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments; b) how derivative instruments are accounted for; and c) how derivative instruments affect a fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, if any. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for SFAS No. 161 disclosure purposes.

The table below presents the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Fund as of July 31, 2009, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

                                   Location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities   
 
Underlying  Derivative                     Asset Derivatives                     Liability Derivatives   
Risk Exposure  Instrument  Location  Value  Location  Value 
 
Interest Rate  Swaps  Unrealized appreciation on    Unrealized depreciation on   
    forward swaps*  $1,231,160  forward swaps*  $769,484 
* Represents cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of swap contracts as reported in the Portfolio of       
   Investments. Some swap contracts require a counterparty to pay or receive a premium, which is       
   disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities but is not reflected in the cumulative       
   appreciation (depreciation) presented above.         

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 timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate transactions subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (SFAS No. 140), if any. 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 July 31, 2009, the cost of investments was $385,260,287.

Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at July 31, 2009, were as follows:

Gross unrealized:   
  Appreciation  $  14,128,677 
  Depreciation  (72,067,221) 
 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments  $(57,938,544)

(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. 
(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)  The issuer has received a formal adverse determination from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) 
  regarding the tax-exempt status of the bonds’ coupon payments. The Fund will continue to treat coupon 
  payments as tax-exempt income until such time that it is formally determined that the interest on the 
  bonds should be treated as taxable. 
(6)  Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged as collateral for inverse floating rate transactions. 
(7)  The Fund’s Adviser has concluded this issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations 
  and has directed the Fund's custodian to cease accruing additional income on the Fund's records. 
(8)  Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations 
  for investments in derivatives. 
(9)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 28.1%. 
(10)  Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment 
  accruals on each forward swap contract. 
N/R  Not rated. 
(ETM)  Escrowed to maturity. 
(IF)  Inverse floating rate investment. 
(UB)  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction pursuant to the 
  provisions of SFAS No. 140. 
USD-LIBOR  United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate.
