The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio municipalities. 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, 2010, 42.0% 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 1.4% to 16.1% of total investments.
         
(1)
      Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
         
(2)
      Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions and remain exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At February 28, 2010, the aggregate value of the securities is $514,866 or 1.3% of the Trust’s net assets applicable to common shares.
         
(3)
      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.
         
(4)
      Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2010.
         
(5)
      Security represents the underlying municipal bond of an inverse floater.

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, 2010, 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, 2010, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in an asset position and in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $45,296 and $43,522, respectively.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Trust at February 28, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 58,496,413  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 2,480,634  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (1,868,966 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 611,668  
         
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is 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.
