In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, "Fair Valuation Measurements" ("FAS 157"). This standard clarifies the
definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. FAS 157 establishes three different categories for
valuations. Level 1 valuations are those based upon quoted prices in active
markets. Level 2 valuations are those based upon quoted prices in inactive
markets or based upon significant observable inputs (i.e. yield curves;
benchmark interest rates; indices). Level 3 valuations are those based upon
unobservable inputs (i.e. discounted cash flow analysis; non-market based
methods used to determine fair valuation).

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the major U.S. and global equity market
benchmarks posted sharp declines. From September 30, 2008 through October 31,
2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 14.0%, the S&P 500 Index declined by
16.8% and the NASDAQ Composite shed 17.7%. Globally, the MSCI World Index
declined 19.0% and the MSCI EAFA lost 20.2%.
As illustrated by the benchmark returns, the impact was not limited to a
specific sector. The Chicago Board of Options Exchange Volatility Index, which
is generally used as a gauge of fear and uncertainty in the market place,
reached levels never seen before. The markets appeared to have lost confidence
in the financial system after a significant series of events which included: the
government rescue of mortgage entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the failure
of investment bank Lehman Brothers, the merger of Merrill Lynch with Bank of
America, the government bailout of American International Group, and the passage
of a $700 billion financial rescue package designed to help rid financial
institutions of "toxic" debt carried on their books. The combination of these
events, and others, resulted in significant declines in the market valuations of
the impacted securities, the financials sector in general and the broad market
as a whole.
