Dear Shareholder, |
R. JAY
GERKEN, CFA
Chairman, President
and
Chief Executive Officer |
|
|
The U.S. economy overcame a number of obstacles and continued to expand during the six-month reporting period. Rising interest rates, record high oil prices, and geopolitical issues threatened to send the economy into a soft patch. However, when all was said and done, first quarter 2005 gross domestic product (GDP)i growth was 3.8%, mirroring the solid gain that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2004. |
|
|
|
Given the overall strength of the economy, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed)ii continued to raise interest rates over the period in an attempt to ward off inflation. Following five rate hikes from June 2004 through December 2004, the Fed again increased its target for the federal fundsiii rate in 0.25% increments four additional times during the reporting period. All told, the Feds nine rate hikes brought the target for the federal funds rate from 1.00% to 3.25%. |
|
|
|
During the reporting period, the fixed income market confounded many investors as short-term interest rates rose in concert with the Fed rate tightening, while longer-term rates, surprisingly, declined. When the period began, the federal fund target rate was 2.25% and the yield on the 10-year Treasury was 4.24%. When the reporting period ended, the federal funds rate rose to 3.25% and the 10-year yield declined to 3.92%. Falling longer term |

Total returns are based on changes in NAV or market price, respectively. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends, capital gain distributions and other distributions including return of capital, if any, in additional shares. The SEC yield is a return figure often quoted by bond and other fixed-income mutual funds. This quotation is based on the most recent 30-day (or one-month) period covered by the Funds filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period after deduction of the Funds expenses for the period. These yields are as of June 30, 2005 and are subject to change. |

Special Shareholder Notice
On June 24, 2005, Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) announced that it has signed a definitive agreement under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business to Legg Mason, Inc. (Legg Mason).
As part of this transaction, Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (the Manager), currently an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. The Manager is the investment manager to the Fund.
The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Citigroup expects the transaction to be completed later this year.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager. Therefore, the Funds Board of Directors will be asked to approve a new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager. If approved by the Board, the new investment management contract will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for their approval.
Subsequently, on August 1, 2005, the Board approved the new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager.

Information About Your Fund
As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have recently come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The Funds Manager and some of its affiliates have received requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, late trading, fees, and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. The regulators appear to be examining, among other things, the Funds response to market timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with prospectus disclosure related to these subjects. The Fund has been informed that the Manager and its affiliates are responding to those information requests, but are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests and investigations.
Important information concerning the Fund and its Manager with regard to recent regulatory developments is contained in the Additional Information note in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this report.
Looking for Additional Information?
The Fund is traded under the symbol SBI and its closing market price is available in most newspapers under the AMEX listings. The daily NAV is available on-line under symbol XSBIX.

The information provided is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Views expressed may differ from those of the firm as a whole.
RISKS: Keep in mind the Funds investments are subject to interest rate and credit risks. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Funds share price. Lower-rated, higher yielding bonds, known as junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than higher-rated obligations. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.
All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

NAV is calculated by subtracting total liabilities and outstanding preferred stock from the closing value of all securities held by the Fund (plus all other assets) and dividing the result (total net assets) by the total number of the common shares outstanding. The NAV fluctuates with changes in the market prices of securities in which the Fund has invested. However, the price at which an investor may buy or sell shares of the Fund is at the Funds market price as determined by supply of and demand for the Funds shares. |

Take Advantage of the Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan!
As an investor in the Fund, you can participate in its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Plan), a convenient, simple and efficient way to reinvest your dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, in additional shares of the Fund. Below is a short summary of how the Plan works.
Plan Summary
If you are a Plan participant who has not elected to receive your dividends in the form of a cash payment, then your dividend and capital gain distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the Fund.
The number of common stock shares of the Fund you will receive in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. If the market price of the common stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share (NAV) on the determination date, you will be issued shares by the Fund at a price reflecting the NAV, or 95% of the market price, whichever is greater.
If the market price is less than the NAV at the time of valuation (the close of business on the determination date), PFPC Inc. (Plan Agent) will buy common stock for your account in the open market.
If the Plan Agent begins to purchase additional shares in the open market and the market price of the shares subsequently rises above the previously determined NAV before the purchases are completed, the Plan Agent will attempt to terminate purchases and have the Fund issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares at the greater of the previously determined NAV or 95% of the market price. In that case, the number of Fund shares you receive will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares.
A more complete description of the current Plan appears in the section of this report beginning on page 34. To find out more detailed information about the Plan and about how you can participate, please call PFPC Inc. at (800) 331-1710.

Bond Ratings (unaudited) |
|
Standard & Poors Ratings Service (Standard & Poors)Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus () sign to show relative standings within the major rating categories.
|
|
|
AAA |
|
Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poors. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. |
AA |
|
Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from the highest rated issues only in a small degree. |
A |
|
Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories. |
BBB |
|
Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than in higher rated categories. |
BB,
B, |
|
Bonds rated BB, B, CCC and CC are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB represents a lower degree of speculation than B, and CC the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions. |
|
|
|
D |
|
Bonds rated D are in default and payment of interest and/or repayment of principal is in arrears. |
|
|
|
Moodys Investors Service (Moodys)Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating from Aa to Caa, where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest ranking within its generic category. |
||
|
|
|
Aaa |
|
Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues. |
Aa |
|
Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. |
A |
|
Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future. |
Baa |
|
Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well. |
Ba |
|
Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and therefore not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class. |

2005 Semi-Annual Report |
|
|
Bond Ratings (unaudited) (continued) |
|
|
|
|
B |
|
Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of desirable investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small. |
Caa |
|
Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. These may be in default, or present elements of danger may exist with respect to principal or interest. |
Ca |
|
Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked short-comings. |
|
|
|
Fitch Rating Service (Fitch)Ratings from AAA to CC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus () sign to show relative standings within the major rating categories. |
||
|
|
|
AAA |
|
Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Fitch. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. |
AA |
|
Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from the highest rated issues only in a small degree. |
A |
|
Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories. |
BBB |
|
Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than in higher rated categories. |
BB, B, |
|
Bonds rated BB, B, CCC and CC are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB represents a lower degree of speculation than B, and CC the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions. |

|
|
|
Short-Term Security Ratings (unaudited) |
||

A-1 |
|

VMIG 1 |
|
Moodys highest rating for issues having a demand feature VRDO. |
P-1 |
|
Moodys highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the advent of the VMIG 1 rating. |
F-1 |
|
Fitchs highest rating indicating the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; those issues determined to possess overwhelming strong credit feature are denoted with a plus (+) sign. |

(1) |
For the six months ended June 30, 2005 (unaudited). |
(2) |
Effective January 1, 2001, the Fund adopted a change in the accounting method that requires the Fund to amortize premiums and accrete all discounts. Without the adoption of this change, for the year ended December 31, 2001, the ratio of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gain and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 5.31%. Per share information, ratios and supplemental data for the periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. In addition, the impact of this change to net investment income and net realized and unrealized gain was less than $0.01 per share. |
(3) |
Amount represents less than $0.01 per share. |
(4) |
The total return calculation assumes that distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. |
(5) |
Calculated on the basis of average net assets of common shareholders. Ratios do not reflect the effect of distribution payments to preferred shareholders. |
(6) |
Annualized. |
(7) |
On January 28, 2002, the Fund issued 2,000 shares of Series M Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock at $25,000 per share. |
(8) |
Excludes accumulated and unpaid distributions. |

Intermediate Muni Fund, Inc. |
25 |
|
|
|
The Intermediate Muni Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated in Maryland and is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.
(a) Investment Valuation. Securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or where market quotations are determined not to reflect fair value, will be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Funds Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
(b) Financial Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into financial futures contracts typically to hedge a portion of the portfolio. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin. Additional securities are also segregated up to the current market value of the financial futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the underlying financial instruments. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. When the financial futures contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recognized equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Funds basis in the contracts.
The risks associated with entering into financial futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, investing in financial futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. Risk may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

(d) Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income for the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipals securities, which is exempt from federal and certain state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are taxable and are declared at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the holders of the Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends in accordance with an auction that will normally be held weekly and out of the funds legally available to shareholders.
(e) Net Asset Value. The net asset value (NAV) of the Funds Common Stock is determined no less frequently than the close of business on the Funds last business day of each week (generally Friday) and on the last business day of the month. It is determined by dividing the value of the net assets available to Common Stock by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For the purpose of determining the NAV per share of the Common Stock, the value of the Funds net assets shall be deemed to equal the value of the Funds assets less (1) the Funds liabilities, and (2) the aggregate liquidation value (i.e., $25,000 per outstanding share) of the Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock.
(f) Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Funds policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds financial statements.
(g) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (SBFM), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup), acts as investment manager to the Fund. The Fund pays SBFM a management fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Funds average daily net assets. For purposes of calculating the management fee, the liquidation value of any preferred stock of the Fund is not deducted in determining the Funds average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Fund.
3. Investments

4. Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock
On January 28, 2002, the Fund issued 2,000 shares of Series M Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (ARCPS). The underwriting discount of $500,000 and offering expenses of $278,731 associated with the ARCPS offering were recorded as a reduction of the capital paid in excess of par value of
|

|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) |
|
The ARCPS are redeemable under certain conditions by the Fund, or subject to mandatory redemption (if the Fund is in default of certain coverage requirements) at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference, which is the sum of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverages with respect to the ARCPS. If the Fund fails to maintain these coverages and does not cure any such failure within the required time period, the Fund is required to redeem a requisite number of the ARCPS in order to meet the applicable requirement. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements would restrict the Funds ability to pay dividends to common shareholders.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGM) another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, also currently acts as a broker/dealer in connection with the auction of ARCPS. After each auction, the auction agent will pay to each broker/dealer, from monies the Fund provides, a participation fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the purchase price of the ARCPS that the broker/dealer places at the auction. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, CGM earned $62,058 as a participating broker/dealer.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) |
|
On May 31, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (SBFM) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI) relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the Funds).
The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act). Specifically, the order finds that SBFM and CGMI knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (First Data), the Funds then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that Citigroup Asset Management (CAM), the Citigroup business unit that includes the funds investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Funds boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Funds best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.
The SEC censured SBFM and CGMI and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order requires Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan to be prepared by Citigroup and submitted within 90 days of the entry of the order for approval by the SEC. The order also requires that transfer agency fees received from the Funds since December 1, 2004 less certain expenses be placed in escrow and provides that a portion of such fees may be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) |
|
At this time, there is no certainty as to how the proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Funds.
The Fund did not implement the transfer agent arrangement described above and therefore will not receive any portion of the distributions.
8. Other Matters
On June 24, 2005, Citigroup announced that it has signed a definitive agreement under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business to Legg Mason, Inc. (Legg Mason).
As part of this transaction, SBFM (the Manager), currently an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. The Manager is the investment manager to the Fund.
The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Citigroup expects the transaction to be completed later this year.
Under the 1940 Act, consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager. Therefore, the Funds Board of Directors will be asked to approve a new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager. If approved by the Board, the new investment management contract will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for their approval.
Subsequently, on August 1, 2005, the Board approved the new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager.

The number of shares of common stock distributed to participants in the plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. When the market price of the common stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share of the common stock on the determination date (generally, the record date for the distribution), Plan participants will be issued shares of common stock by the Fund at a price equal to the greater of net asset value determined as described below under Net Asset Value or 95% of the market price of the common stock.
If the market price of the common stock is less than the net asset value of the common stock at the time of valuation (which is the close of business on the determination date), PFPC will buy common stock in the open market, on the AMEX or elsewhere, for the participants accounts. If following the commencement of the purchases and before PFPC has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of the common stock as of the valuation time, PFPC will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the fund to issue the remaining portion of the dividend or distribution in shares at a price equal to the greater of (a) net asset value as of the valuation time or (b) 95% of the then current market price. In this case, the number of shares received by a Plan participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. To the extent PFPC is unable to stop open market purchases and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares, the average per share purchase price paid by PFPC may exceed the net asset value of the common stock as of the valuation time, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in common stock issued by the Fund at such net asset value. PFPC will begin to purchase common stock on the open market as soon as practicable after the determination date for the dividend or capital gains distribution, but in no event shall such purchases continue later than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for a succeeding dividend or distribution, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

2005 Semi-Annual Report |

|
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) (continued) |
|
Plan participants are subject to no charge for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions under the Plan. PFPCs fees for handling the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid by the Fund. No brokerage charges apply with respect to shares of common stock issued directly by the Fund under the Plan. Each plan participant will, however, bear a proportionate share of any brokerage commissions actually incurred with respect to any open market purchases made under the plan.
Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the plan as applied to any dividend or capital gains distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to participants at least 30 days before the record date for the dividend or capital gains distribution. The plan also may be amended or terminated by PFPC, with the funds prior written consent, on at least 30 days written notice to plan participants. All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed by mail to PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 8030, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8030 or by telephone at (800) 331-1710.
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds Forms N-Q are available on the Commissions website at www.sec.gov. The Funds Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Commissions Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C., and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. To obtain information on Form N-Q from the Fund, shareholders can call 1-800-451-2010.
