Security  Transactions  and  Investment  Income  --  Security  transactions  are
accounted for on the trade date of the security  purchase or sale. Costs used in
determining net realized  capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are
those  of  the  specific   securities  sold,  adjusted  for  the  accretion  and
amortization  of the  purchase  discounts  and  premiums  during the  respective
holding period. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Expenses -- Expenses  that are  directly  related to the  Portfolio  are charged
directly to that Portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Company are prorated
to the Portfolio on the basis of relative net assets.

Distributions  to Shareholders -- Distributions  from net investment  income are
declared  on a daily  basis and are  payable  on the first  business  day of the
following  month.  Any net realized  capital gains on sales of securities  for a
Portfolio are distributed to its shareholders at least annually.

Federal Income Taxes -- It is the  Portfolio's  intention to continue to qualify
as a regulated  investment  company and  distribute  all of its taxable  income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Use of Estimates -- The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that effect the reported  amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
