MULTIPLE CLASS PERFORMANCE ADVERTISING

   Pursuant to the Multiple Class Plan, the funds may issue  additional  classes
of existing  funds or introduce  new funds with multiple  classes  available for
purchase.  To the extent a new class is added to an existing  fund,  the manager
may, in compliance with SEC and NASD rules,  regulations and guidelines,  market
the new class of shares  using the  historical  performance  information  of the
original class of shares. When quoting performance information for the new class
of shares for  periods  prior to the first full  quarter  after  inception,  the
original class'  performance will be restated to reflect the expenses of the new
class.  For  periods  after the  first  full  quarter  after  inception,  actual
performance of the new class will be used.
