   *    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.

         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 fiscal
         quarter that have  materially  affected,  or are  reasonably  likely to
         materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal control over financial
         reporting.
