The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio municipalities. In addition, 10.8% of the Trust’s total investments at February 28, 2009 were invested in municipal obligations issued by Puerto Rico. 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 February 28, 2009, 43.5% 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 2.5% to 18.9% of total investments.
         
(1)
      Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
         
(2)
      Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for open swap contracts.
         
(3)
      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 February 28, 2009, the aggregate value of these securities is $406,964 or 1.2% of the Trust’s net assets applicable to common shares.
         
(4)
      Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2009.
         
(5)
      Security is subject to a shortfall agreement which may require the Trust 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 Trust could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $1,455,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security underlying the inverse floater.
         
(6)
      Security represents the underlying municipal bond of a tender option bond trust.

The effective date represents the date on which the Trust and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payment accruals.
 
At February 28, 2009, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Trust is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Trust holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap contracts. The Trust may also purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
 
At February 28, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in an asset position and in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $85,321 and $348,032, respectively.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, 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 February 28, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
                     
        Investments in
    Other Financial
 
    Valuation Inputs   Securities     Instruments*  
Level 1
  Quoted Prices   $     $ 85,321  
Level 2
  Other Significant Observable Inputs     55,282,946       (348,032 )
Level 3
  Significant Unobservable Inputs            
                     
Total
  $ 55,282,946     $ (262,711 )
                 
 
* Other financial instruments are futures and swap contracts not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
 
The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of November 30, 2008 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.
 
For information on the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.
