INCOME TAX INFORMATION
 
The aggregate cost of investments is substantially the same for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes as of March 31, 2011. The net unrealized depreciation of investments for financial reporting purposes as of March 31, 2011 is $8,939,411 and consists of $11,023,378 appreciation and $19,962,789 depreciation.
 
Net unrealized depreciation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the balance net of a deferred tax liability of $429,196 on net unrealized gains in the MMPI Subsidiary Trust.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the Trust discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

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  the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Trust's net assets as of March 31, 2011:
