    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 that may 
    be insured by AMBAC, FGIC, XLCA or MBIA as of January 31, 2008. Subsequent to January 31, 2008, at 
    least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and XLCA-insured and FGIC- 
    insured bonds experienced further downgrades such that they no longer carry AAA ratings which had the 
    effect of reducing the rating of many (if not all) of the bonds insured by those particular insurers. 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 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)    Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of total investments is (33.9)%. 
(6)    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. 

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, 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 January 31, 2008, the cost of investments was $138,713,180.

Gross unrealized:     
  Appreciation    $ 4,611,493 
  Depreciation    (1,644,514) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments    $ 2,966,979
