(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 Portfolio of Investments may reflect the ratings on certain bonds insured by ACA, AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, 
    MBIA, RAAI and XLCA as of May 31, 2008. Subsequent to May 31, 2008, and during the period this 
    Portfolio of Investments was prepared, there may have been reductions to the ratings of certain bonds 
    resulting from changes to the ratings of the underlying insurers both during the period and after period 
    end. Such reductions would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer 
    or insurers presented at period end. 
(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)    This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of 
    the debt restructuring include the following: (1) the principal balance outstanding on and after December 1, 
    2007, shall accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing December 1, 2007; (2) the interest 
    shall accrue but not be payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall instead be deferred and 
    paid by the end of calendar year 2011; (3) no principal component shall be pre-payable from the Minimum 
    Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008 and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recommence 
    beginning in calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule. Management believes that the 
    restructuring is in the best interest of the Fund shareholders and that it is more-likely-than-not that the 
    borrower will fulfill its obligation. Consequently the Fund continues to accrue interest on this obligation. 
(6)    Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has variable rate and demand features which qualify 
    it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This 
    rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index. 
N/R    Not rated. 
(ETM)    Escrowed to maturity. 
(UB)    Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction pursuant to the 
    provisions of SFAS No. 140. 

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 SFAS No. 140. 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 May 31, 2008, the cost of investments was $230,991,261.
