The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect
the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined
in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the year ended
September 30, 2000, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $824,283. Accumulated net realized loss
on investments was decreased by the same amount. Net assets of the Fund were
unaffected by the reclassifications.
