                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The Company is operated as a diversified, open-end management investment
company.

     Security valuation: Investments in securities listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, American Stock Exchange or other security exchanges, and securities
traded in the Over-The-Counter market are valued at their closing sales price.
If no sale has been reported for that day, the last published sale or the last
recorded bid price, whichever is the more recent, is used, unless in the opinion
of the Board of Directors the value thus obtained may not fairly indicate the
actual market value, in which case these securities, and any other assets for
which market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as
determined by the management and approved in good faith by the Board of
Directors.

     Federal income taxes: For tax years beginning after December 31, 1987, it
is the Company's intention to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its capital gains and investment income to its
shareholders. Therefore, provision has been made for Federal income taxes only
on the undistributed income which is immaterial.

     Other: The Company follows industry practice and records security
transactions on the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend
date, and interest is recognized on an accrual basis.


Note B - Organizational and Registration Expenses

     Registration expenses will be amortized as new shares are issued.


Note C - Capital Share Transactions

     As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, there were 10,000,000 shares of
$1.00 par value capital stock authorized. Capital paid-in aggregated
$2,927,375.38 and $3,437,951.17 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively.
