*    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(d))  that  occurred  during the  registrant's  last
