Item 5. Other Events

     On December 5, 1994, the Trust announced the certified voting results of 
its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on November 21, 1994. The results indicate 
that American Holdings, Inc. failed to receive the necessary support to remove 
the existing Trust Managers of the Trust. No nominee achieved the two-thirds
vote of outstanding shares required for election as a Trust Manager or the
majority vote of outstanding shares required for re-election. Accordingly,
William H. Bricker and Charles W. Wolcott will continue to serve as Trust
Managers for the Trust. The voting results were as follows:
