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 an increase in
paid-in capital of $2,931. Accumulated net realized loss on investments was
increased by the same amount. All of which is distributed in connection with
Fund share redemptions which increased paid-in capital and increased accumulated
net realized loss. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the
reclassifications.
