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.
