Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial advisor. Investment returns, net asset value (NAV) and common share market price will fluctuate and trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the trust’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the trust at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. Total return assumes an investment at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions for the period in accordance with the trust’s dividend reinvestment plan, and sale of all shares at the end of the period. The trust’s adviser has waived or reimbursed fees and expenses from time to time; absent such waivers/ reimbursements the trust’s returns would have been lower. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.

The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which has been shown in the Trust’s previous shareholder reports, changed its name to Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index as of November 3, 2008. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax exempt bonds. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Trust Report

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009

Market Conditions

The six months under review can be divided into two distinct periods in terms of municipal market performance. The first of these, spanning the last two months of 2008, marked one of the worst periods in the history of the financial markets as the sell off that began in September continued through year end. Investors fled risky assets in favor of the relative safety of Treasury securities and money market funds, massive deleveraging and forced selling ensued, and tax-exempt bond funds experienced significant outflows. These factors pushed municipal bond prices to their cheapest levels in history relative to Treasury bonds.

Not surprisingly in this risk-averse environment, the lower-rated segment of the market underperformed, with high-yield municipal bonds (those rated below triple-B or non-rated issues) returning -12.91 percent for the last two months of 2008 (as measured by the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index) while triple-B rated issues returned -7.33 percent and triple-A rated issues returned 3.46 percent (as measured within the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index).

The first four months of 2009 were markedly better for municipal bond investors. Credit concerns eased, deleveraging slowed considerably, and investors re-entered the market, driving municipal bond prices higher. Yields declined by as much as 95 basis points on the front end of the municipal yield curve during the period, while yields on long-maturity issues fell roughly 50 basis points. The rally was accompanied by a narrowing of credit spreads, which helped the high-yield segment of the market to outperform. As a result, high-yield municipals returned 10.00 percent, triple-B rated issues returned 11.11 percent and triple-A rated issues returned 4.83 percent for the first four months of 2009.

Although the high-yield segment rebounded nicely in 2009 to date, the gains were not enough to offset the losses in the last two months of 2008. As a result, higher-quality issues outperformed for the overall six-month reporting period. With regard to sectors, performance was largely dependent on credit quality, with the lower-quality industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (i.e. corporate-backed) and tobacco sectors turning in the worst performance while water and sewer and housing bonds posted the highest returns.

For the first four months of 2009, municipal bond issuance was down 13 percent versus the same period in 2008 yet was easily placed due to robust retail demand. With the continued deterioration of credit quality of municipal bond issuers, insured bond volume represented a mere 12 percent of total issuance, a dramatic decline from the 55 percent average over the past few years. This large increase in uninsured bonds has disrupted many historical measures of value in the municipal bond market. In a significant reversal from the last months of 2008,

municipal bond funds saw approximately $17 billion in net inflows as investors recognized the historical cheapness of the municipal sector.

Performance Analysis

The Trust’s return can be calculated based upon either the market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding, while market price reflects the supply and demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ, as they did during the reporting period. On both an NAV basis and a market price basis, the Trust outperformed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”).

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate and Trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See Performance Summary for additional performance information and index definition.

The primary contributors to the Trust’s performance during the reporting period included holdings in the housing, airport transportation and public utilities sectors, held in the form of inverse floating-rate securities.*The housing bonds were particularly helpful as the Barclays Capital Municipal Housing Bond Index posted a 17 percent return over the period. Strong security selection in the industrial development revenue sector contributed to performance, as did the portfolio’s greater relative exposure to the long end of the municipal yield curve, which was advantageous as longer maturity issues generally outperformed over the period.

Other positions, however, detracted from relative performance. A significant underweight in higher quality bonds held back returns as these securities outperformed lower quality bonds over the period. In addition, an overweight in the tobacco sector was disadvantageous as this sector failed to rally with the municipal market at the start of 2009 due to a deteriorating fundamental outlook for the sector.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has approved a procedure whereby the Trust may, when appropriate, repurchase its shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or NAV, whichever is

lower at the time of purchase. This may help support the market value of the Trust’s shares.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Trust in the future.

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II

Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II (the “Trust”) is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust will invest substantially all of its assets in municipal securities rated investment grade at the time of investment. The Trust commenced investment operations on August 27, 1993.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), effective November 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Trust would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. FAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Trust’s investments. The inputs are 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.)

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued


Level 3—	significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust’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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2009 in valuing the Trust’s investments carried at value:


	Investments in
Valuation Inputs	Securities

Level 1—Quoted Prices	$	-0-
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs		870,714,002
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs		-0-

Total	$	870,714,002

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The Trust may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued”, “delayed delivery” or “forward commitment” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Trust will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued, delayed delivery or forward purchase commitments until payment is made. At April 30, 2009, the Trust had $9,665,078 of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward purchase commitments.

C. Investment Income Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security.

D. Federal Income Taxes It is the Trust’s 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 income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Trust recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Trust files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York, and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended October 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Trust intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At October 31, 2008, the Trust had an

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued

accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $41,233,091, which will expire according to the following schedule.


Amount		Expiration

$	2,455,675		October 31, 2014
	8,594,496		October 31, 2015
	30,182,920		October 31, 2016

At April 30, 2009, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	841,497,391

Gross tax unrealized appreciation		20,768,422
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(83,421,000	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(62,652,578	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income to common shareholders. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually on a pro rata basis to common and preferred shareholders. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2008 was as follows:


Distributions paid from:
Tax exempt income	$	46,702,181

As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	432,892
Undistributed tax-exempt income		4,028,553

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes, and the deferral of losses relating to wash sales transactions.

F. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Trust’s Custody Fee was reduced by $324 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

G. Floating Rate Obligations Related to Securities Held The Trust enters into transactions in which it transfers to 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 Trust to retain residual interests in the bonds. The

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued

Trust enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Trust 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 Trust (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Trust (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 Trust, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Trust accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Trust’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Trust’s Statement of Operations. The 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. At April 30, 2009, Trust investments with a value of $156,207,132 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $91,865,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at April 30, 2009 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended April 30, 2009 were $125,843,287 and 2.109%, respectively.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) provides investment advice and facilities to the Trust for an annual fee payable monthly of .55% of the average daily net assets including current preferred shares and leverage of $84,000,000 entered into to retire previously issued preferred shares of the Trust. The Adviser has agreed to waive investment advisory fees equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets including current preferred shares and leverage of $84,000,000 entered into to retire previously issued preferred shares of the Trust. During the period ended April 30, 2009, the Adviser waived approximately $414,500 of its advisory fees. This waiver is voluntary and can be discontinued at any time.

For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $46,200, representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a Trustee of the Trust is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Trust.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Trust. The costs of these services are allocated to each trust. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $65,100 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Trust, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued

“Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Trust does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Trust provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Trust. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

3. Capital Transactions

For the six months ended April 30, 2009 and for the year ended October 31, 2008, transactions in common shares were as follows:


	Six Months Ended			Year Ended
	April 30, 2009			October 31, 2008

Beginning Shares		44,191,881			44,682,968
Shares Issued Through Dividend Reinvestment		-0-			5,972
Shares Repurchased*		(5,454	)		(497,059	)

Ending Shares		44,186,427			44,191,881


*		The Trust has a share repurchase program for purposes of enhancing stockholder value and reducing the discount at which the Trust’s shares trade from their net asset value. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, and the year ended October 31, 2008, the Trust repurchased 5,454 and 497,059, respectively of its shares at an average discount of 7.79% and 8.11%, respectively from net asset value per share. The Trust expects to continue to repurchase its outstanding shares at such time and in such amounts as it believes such activity will further the accomplishment of the foregoing objectives, subject to review of the Trustees.

4. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $86,989,800 and $176,126,702, respectively.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

In order to seek to manage the interest rate exposure of the Trust’s portfolio in a changing interest rate environment, the Trust may purchase or sell financial futures contracts or engage in transactions involving interest rate swaps, caps, floors or collars. The Trust expects to enter into these transactions primarily as a hedge against anticipated interest rate or fixed-income market changes, for duration management or for risk management purposes, but may also enter into these transactions to generate additional income. All of the Trust’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued

Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Trust.

A. Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Trust generally invests in exchange traded futures contracts on U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. These contracts are generally used to manage the Trust’s effective maturity and duration. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Trust maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There were no transactions in futures contracts for the six months ended April 30, 2009.

B. Inverse Floating Rate Securities The Trust may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Trust in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio or used as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem a portion of the Trust’s preferred shares. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Trust may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Trust in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Trust. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Trust is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.

The Trust generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Trust’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.

In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued

collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.

6. Preferred Shares

As of April 30, 2009 the Trust has outstanding 13,440 Auction Preferred Shares (APS). Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D each contain 1,280 shares, Series E contains 1,120 shares, Series F, Series G, Series H, and Series I each contain 1,600 shares, and Series J contains 800 shares. Dividends are cumulative and the dividend rates are generally reset every 7 days for Series A, Series B, Series, C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series J, while Series G, Series H, and Series I are generally reset every 28 days through an auction process. Beginning on February 13, 2008, and continuing through April 30, 2009, all series of preferred shares of the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the dividend rates of these preferred shares were reset to the maximum applicable rate on APS. The average rate in effect on April 30, 2009 was 0.77%. During the six months ended April 30, 2009, the rates ranged from 0.63% to 5.09%.

Historically, the Trust paid annual fees equivalent to .25% of the preferred share liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auction. Effective March 16, 2009, the Trust decreased this amount to .15% due to auction failures. In the future, if auctions no longer fail, the Trust may return to an annual fee payment of .25% of the preferred share liquidation value. These fees are included as a component of “Preferred Share Maintenance” expense on the Statement of Operations.

The APS are redeemable at the option of the Trust in whole or in part at the liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Trust is subject to certain asset coverage tests and the APS are subject to mandatory redemption if the tests are not met.

The Trust has the option to enter into additional inverse floater rate securities as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem and retire a portion of its preferred shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Trust did not exercise this option.

7. Indemnifications

The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. Accounting Pronouncements

On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management does not believe the adoption

Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2009 (Unaudited) continued

of FAS 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items

On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the assets or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also requires additional disaggregation of the current FAS 157 required disclosures. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP 157-4 and the impact it will have on the financial statement disclosures.
