   *    Portfolio securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or closing
        values. If these are unavailable, then the average of the closing bid
        and asked prices is used. If there is no asked price, the security is
        valued at the closing bid price on that day. Debt instruments are valued
        at the average of the closing bid and asked prices. If the security
        matures in 60 days or less and is not credit-impaired, it is valued at
        amortized cost. All securities and assets for which market quotations
        are not readily available or any security that the Board determines does
        not reflect its fair market value are valued in good faith under
        procedures established by the Board.

          (17 CFR  270.30a-3(b))  and Rules  13a-15(b)  or  15d-15(b)  under the

          240.15d-15(b)).

     (b)  There  were no  changes  in the  registrant's  internal  control  over
          financial  reporting (as defined in Rule  30a-3(d)  under the 1940 Act
          (17 CFR  270.30a-3(d))  that  occurred  during the  registrant's  last
