EX-99.B-77D(g)
UNITED NEW CONCEPTS FUND, INC.
SUB-ITEM 77D(g) Any other investment policy set forth in the
registrant's charter, by-laws or prospectus
Prior to July 1, 1999 the Fund sought to achieve its goal of
growth of capital by investing in companies in the early
stages of development or smaller companies positioned in new
and emerging industries where the opportunity for rapid
growth was above average. Since July 1, 1999, the Fund has
sought to achieve this goal by investing primarily in
securities of issuers whose market capitalizations are
within the range of market capitalizations of the companies
comprising the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
EX-99.B-77I
UNITED NEW CONCEPTS FUND, INC.
SUB-ITEM 77I
(a) and (b): Terms of New or Amended Securities
The Fund has four classes of shares. Prior to October 4,
1999, the Fund offered only two classes of shares to the
public. Shares outstanding on that date were designated as
Class A shares and Class Y shares. As of October 4, 1999,
the Fund also offers Class B shares and Class C shares.
Class B shares have a deferred sales charge on shares sold
within six calendar years and are subject to a 0.25% service
charge and a 0.75% distribution charge. Class C shares have
a 1% deferred sales charge on shares sold within twelve
months and are subject to a 0.25% service charge and a 0.75%
distribution charge.
Each share (regardless of class) has one vote. All shares
of the Fund vote together as a single class, except as to
any matter for which a separate vote of any class is
required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, and except
as to any matter which affects the interests of one
particular classes, in which case only the shareholders of
the affected class are entitled to vote, as a separate
class. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable when
purchased. The addition of the Class B and Class C shares
had no effect on the rights of the existing shareholders.
