*     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.

          90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the  disclosure
          required  by this  paragraph,  based  on  their  evaluation  of  these
          controls and  procedures  required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act

          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

          reporting.
