* | Rating allocation based on ratings as issued by Standard and Poors and Moodys. A credit rating is an assessment provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) of the creditworthiness of an issuer with respect to debt obligations, including specific securities, money market instruments or other debts. Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest); ratings are subject to change without notice. NR indicates the debtor was not rated, and should not be interpreted as indicating low quality. |

A. | Valuation of Investments (1) portfolio securities are valued by an outside independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing service uses both a computerized grid matrix of tax-exempt securities and evaluations by its staff, in each case based on information concerning market transactions and quotations from dealers which reflect the mean between the last reported bid and ask price. The portfolio securities are thus valued by reference to a combination of transactions and quotations for the same or other securities believed to be comparable in quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, call provisions, trading characteristics and other features deemed to be relevant, and (2) short-term debt securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at time of purchase are valued based on an independent pricing service until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day. Short-term debt securities having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. | |
B. | Accounting for Investments Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily except where collection is not expected. | |
C. | Floating Rate Note and Dealer Trusts Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to Special Purpose Trusts established by a Broker Dealer (Dealer Trusts), fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Fund may enter into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Fund to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the |
Fund, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Funds investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption interest and records the expenses related to floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption interest and residual trust expenses on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. | ||
D. | Federal Income Tax Policy It is the Funds policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable and non-taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York State and New York City. The Fund recognizes the tax effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of the benefit. The difference between the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a tax position taken and the tax benefit claimed in the income tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. Each of the tax years filed in the four-year period ended May 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. | |
The Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable. | ||
E. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. | |
F. | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
G. | Indemnifications Under the Funds organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Fund is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. | |
H. | Subsequent Events The Fund considers events or transactions that occur after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these financial statements. |
Level 1 | unadjusted 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 the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

1. | The Board considered the reputation, financial strength and resources of Invesco, one of the worlds leading independent global investment management firms, the strength of Invescos resources and investment capabilities and the client-focused shareholder services offered by Invesco. |
2. | The Board discussed the challenges of positioning the Trust on a common operating platform with Invesco, with particular emphasis on ensuring portfolio management operations properly migrate to Invesco as part of the Acquisition, to ensure uninterrupted services for shareholders and the opportunity for the portfolio management of the Trust to recognize savings from economies of scale when such savings occur. |
3. | The Board noted the continuity of key investment management personnel that would manage the Trust upon consummation of the Acquisition, specifically noting that, with respect to the Trust, the persons responsible for the portfolio management of the Trust are expected to remain the same except that Neil Stone will not continue as a portfolio manager of the Trust. The Board discussed at length the effect of this change on the Trust. |
4. | The Board noted that entering into the sub-advisory contracts would provide Invesco Advisers with increased flexibility in assigning portfolio managers to the Trust and would give the Trust access to portfolio managers and investment personnel located in other offices, including those outside the United States, who may have more specialized expertise on local companies, markets and economies or on various types of investments and investment techniques. |
5. | The Board noted that, pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, Invesco Advisers would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers out of its management fees. |
6. | The Board noted the undertaking by Invesco and Morgan Stanley or their respective affiliates to assume all of the costs of the Acquisition, including the cost of obtaining the shareholder approvals discussed above. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers would provide a two-year contractual guaranty to limit the total expense ratio of the Trust to the Trusts total expense ratio prior to the Acquisition. In determining the obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following is not taken into account: (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) dividend expense on short sales, (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items, and (v) expenses that the Trust has incurred but did not actually pay because of an offset arrangement. During the Boards extensive review process, the Board, including the independent Trustees, considered, among other things, the following factors: the terms and conditions of the new advisory agreements, including the differences from the advisory agreement with Morgan Stanley affiliates; and the nature, scope and quality of services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are expected to provide to the Trust, including sub-advisory services and compliance services. The Board evaluated all information available to them on a trust-by-trust basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of the Trust. The Board also based their decisions on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration that was all important or controlling of their discussions, and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. |

B. | Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Trust. |

| The management of multiple Funds and/or other accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each Fund and/or other account. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Funds. | |
| If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one Fund or other account, a Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible Funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Funds have adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts. | |
| The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser determine which broker to use to execute each order for securities transactions for the Funds, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, for certain other accounts (such as mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser may be limited by the client with |

respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, trades for a Fund in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other accounts. Having separate transactions with respect to a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible detriment of the Fund or other account(s) involved. | ||
| Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. |

ITEM 11. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
(a) | As of June 25, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Registrant, including the PEO and PFO, to assess the effectiveness of the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act), as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Registrants officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that, as of June 25, 2010, the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure: (1) that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (2) that material information relating to the Registrant is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. | |
(b) | There have been no changes in the Registrants internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act) that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrants internal control over financial reporting. |
