PREFERRED INCOME MANAGEMENT FUND
INCORPORATED

Dear Shareholder:

The Fund's portfolio performed extremely well in the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1995, but the market for our shares was a tough audience. I will
hit the highlights here and expand upon performance, market discounts and income
in the question and answer section that follows.

The Fund earned 30.4% on the net asset value ("NAV") of its shares in
fiscal 1995. Our preferred stock holdings did very well across the board.
Furthermore, we gave very little back through hedging losses, which we consider
a major accomplishment in this environment.

The primary forces driving portfolio returns were the sharp decline in long
term interest rates and a creeping scarcity of traditional preferreds. There was
little difference between fixed rate preferreds and adjustable rate preferreds
("ARPs"). The dividends of most ARPs are fixed at their minimum rates now, which
makes them look and act more like fixed rate preferreds than ARPs.

Even though the portfolio had a great year, the discount of the market
price from NAV widened. That caused the return on market value of 29.3% for the
fiscal year to fall short of what we earned on the actual dollars we are
managing (the NAV). Beyond that, the discount increased in early December due to
some tax proposals discussed below. The market's failure to give better
recognition to the Fund's success must be as frustrating to you as it is to us.

The Fund's income strategy has worked well. That may be tough to see when
the dividend has just been reduced, but it really does make sense as explained
in the Q & A section. For the record, the new regular monthly dividend rate
effective on December 29, 1995 is 8.2 cents per share, which represents a
reduction of approximately 6.8%. This reduction may also have contributed to the
widening of the discount of market price from NAV, although we do not think it
should have.

The Fund did not make a special year-end distribution this year. Obviously,
we made plenty of money, but most of it was unrealized appreciation on preferred
stocks that the Fund still holds.

In early December, following the end of our fiscal year, the Clinton
Administration confused the outlook for the Fund by proposing a laundry list of
corporate tax increases. Several of these would clearly have an adverse effect
on the Fund while a few could possibly benefit it indirectly over time. The
proposals are a product of the bizarre political situation that has developed
over balancing the federal budget, and we cannot predict the outcome yet.

The electric utility industry, which is the largest position in the Fund's
portfolio, is continuing to move toward deregulation and competition. We sense
that the pace of this evolution may accelerate as the stronger utilities press
their advantage. So far, we have been very successful in separating the
potential winners from the casualties that are bound to occur.

Please read the following Q & A section. We hope it will clear up important
questions that we hear frequently.

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert T. Flaherty

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE FUND

HOW HAS THE FUND'S PORTFOLIO PERFORMED?

The last year was not just a flash in the pan. Over the life of the Fund,
the returns on the portfolio have been very good. The chart below shows the
cumulative return on NAV assuming that all monthly dividends and year-end
distributions were reinvested at NAV. From the start of the Fund on February 19,
1993 through November 30, 1995, $1,000 would have grown to $1,308. That works
out to a return of 10.3% per year on NAV over a span of good and bad years (such
as 1994!).

The Fund's returns on NAV also compare well to the results of its peers as
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"). For the last fiscal
year, the Fund ranked #6 out of 15 specialty income oriented funds. For the two
full fiscal years completed so far, however, the Fund ranked #1 out of 14 such
funds then in existence. Lipper's peer group includes some funds that are
different from ours, but it is still a lot more fun being at the top of the
class than the bottom.

<PAGE>

IF THE PORTFOLIO HAS DONE SO WELL, WHY ISN'T THE MARKET PRICE OF THE SHARES
HIGHER?

Unlike open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds have two prices, market and
NAV. The market price at which the shares are traded each day on the New York
Stock Exchange is by far the most visible of the two prices. NAV is the actual
value per share of the assets that the Fund holds for its shareholders. It is
published once per week in such places as The Wall Street Journal each Monday
and Barron's. The NAV can also be obtained by calling the Fund's shareholder
servicing agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., at 1-800-331-1710.

When you cut through it all, the market price of the Fund's shares simply
hasn't kept up with their NAV. The following chart shows how the market price
has moved over time from a premium above the NAV to a discount now. As a result,
the strong performance of the Fund's portfolio is not fully reflected in the
market price of the shares. It is a disappointment after a banner year for the
portfolio like 1995.

WHY IS THE MARKET PRICE OF THE FUND'S SHARES AT A DISCOUNT TO NET ASSET VALUE?

These things seem to run in cycles, and closed-end funds are clearly out of
style today. Most such funds, even those that have performed well, are selling
at discounts. Some pessimists say this is the

<PAGE>

natural fate of closed-end funds, but we don't buy it. We have yet to see the
stone tablet that says assets should sell at a discount from their actual value
because of their packaging.

Most likely, the discounts are a sign that funds that are performing well
aren't getting that message to a large enough audience. Many of the players on
Wall Street have shifted most of their attention to products that are more
fashionable now. That leaves it up to us to spread the word about what we have
accomplished. We hope this is a step toward making that happen. Read on.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING A CLOSED-END FUND?

We believe we can manage the portfolio better because this is a closed-end
fund. The preferred stock market can be relatively illiquid at times, which
creates many opportunities. Our ability to take advantage of those opportunities
is greatly improved because the Fund is shielded from unpredictable cash flows
in and out of the portfolio that can occur in an open-end fund. Otherwise,
someone else might be able to take advantage of us, which is clearly not what we
want for our shareholders.

Because the Preferred Income Management Fund is a closed-end fund, it can
also use leverage. It does that by issuing its own Money Market Cumulative
Preferred(TM) Stock. There are risks in leverage, of course; but it has been a
very successful way of increasing income for the common stock of the Fund.
Leverage is a key ingredient in the Fund's unique income strategy.

WHAT MAKES THE FUND'S INCOME STRATEGY UNIQUE?

In plain English, this is what it is all about. We expect the Fund's income
to rise and fall with interest rates. We just want it to go up more when rates
are on the upswing and fall less when rates go down. The Fund and its two sister
funds, the Preferred Income Fund and the Preferred Income Opportunity Fund, are
the only funds that follow this approach.

<PAGE>

HOW HAS THE INCOME STRATEGY WORKED?

It has worked even better than we might have hoped. The following chart
shows the history of the Fund's monthly income (on the left hand scale) against
the backdrop of long term interest rates (on the right hand scale). Income has
increased when interest rates were rising, and it has given ground only
begrudgingly when rates were falling. Over the life of the Fund, income is down
only 3.9% while the yield on long term Treasury bonds has fallen from 6.9% to
6.1%, a decline of 11.6%.

</TABLE>

The chart is based on a hypothetical investment in 1,000 shares of the
Fund's common stock at the inception of the Fund. We have assumed that the
shareholder took the regular dividend in cash each month and used only the
amount by which the year-end distributions were above and beyond the regular
dividends to buy additional shares at net asset value.

WHY NOT JUST AIM FOR A HIGH AND STABLE LEVEL OF INCOME?

The real problem with stable income comes when interest rates rise.
Remember the agony that fixed income investors have felt in the past when
inflation and interest rates soared, the market value of their investments fell
and income was left in the dust. With our strategy, we hope that income will
benefit to at least some extent from a rise in interest rates.

<PAGE>

High and stable income is also very hard to get in the real world. Most
issuers of bonds and preferred stocks have the right, sooner or later, to redeem
those securities and to refinance them at lower rates when interest rates fall.
The Preferred Income Management Fund is not immune to this either. Hopefully,
some of the other things we do will make up for it.

ARE THE FUND'S HEDGES PART OF ITS INCOME STRATEGY?

You bet they are! One good way to increase income when interest rates rise
is to have additional cash to invest at the higher rates. That can happen if the
Fund makes money on its hedges. Hedging has played an important role in the
success of the Fund so far.

Our hedging strategies are actually rather cowardly. We hedge by purchasing
put options on Treasury bond futures contracts. The market value of these put
options should rise if interest rates go up significantly within a relatively
short period of time. On the other hand, the Fund's risk on the put options is
limited to what we pay for them. To keep the cost down, we often buy put options
that are "out-of-the-money." This is something like buying an insurance policy
with a big deductible to keep the premium down.

Hedging also can help cushion a decline in the Fund's NAV. We expect the
market value of the Fund's preferred stock holdings to fall when interest rates
rise. A portion of that decline would be offset if the Fund's hedges also paid
off in that situation. If the Fund were not hedged, we would probably lose more

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------------

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Preferred Income Management Fund Incorporated (the "Fund") is a
diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Maryland
corporation on December 21, 1992 and is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Fund commenced operations on February 19, 1993. The policies
described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Portfolio valuation: The net asset value of the Fund's Common Stock is
determined by the Fund's administrator no less frequently than on the last
business day of each week and month. It is determined by dividing the value of
the Fund's net assets attributable to common shares by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding. The value of the Fund's net assets attributable to
common shares is deemed to equal the value of the Fund's total assets less (i)
the Fund's liabilities, (ii) the aggregate liquidation value of the outstanding
Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock and (iii) accumulated and unpaid
dividends on the outstanding Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock.
Securities listed on a national securities exchange are valued on the basis of
the last sale on such exchange on the day of valuation. In the absence of sales
of listed securities and with respect to securities for which the most recent
sale prices are not deemed to represent fair market value and unlisted
securities (other than money market instruments), securities are valued at the
mean between the closing bid and asked prices when quoted prices for investments
are readily available. Investments for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund, including reference to
valuations of other securities which are considered comparable in quality,
maturity and type. Investments in money market instruments, which mature in 60
days or less, are valued at amortized cost.

Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold
are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on
ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Option accounting principles: Upon the purchase of a put option by the
Fund, the total purchase price paid is recorded as an investment. The market
valuation is determined as set forth in the second preceding paragraph. When the
Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund will record a gain or loss
depending on the difference between the purchase and sale price. The risks
associated with purchasing options and the maximum loss the Fund would incur are
limited to the purchase price originally paid.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions. The Fund's Board of Directors reviews and approves periodically
the eligibility of the banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into
repurchase agreement transactions. The value of the collateral underlying such
transactions is at least equal at all times to the total amount of the
repurchase obligations, including interest. The Fund maintains possession of the
collateral and, in the event of counterparty default, the

<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Income Management Fund Incorporated
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
---------------------------------------------

Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is the
possibility of loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented
from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders: The Fund expects to declare
dividends on a monthly basis to shareholders of Common Stock. The shareholders
of Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock are entitled to receive
cumulative cash dividends as declared by the Fund's Board of Directors.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Any net
realized short-term capital gains will be distributed to shareholders at least
annually. Any net realized long-term capital gains may be distributed to
shareholders at least annually or may be retained by the Fund as determined by
the Fund's Board of Directors. Capital gains retained by the Fund are subject to
tax at the corporate tax rate. Any taxes paid by the Fund on such net realized
long-term gains may be used by the Fund's Common Stock Shareholders as a credit
against their own tax liabilities subject to the Fund qualifying as a regulated
investment company as described in the following paragraph.

Federal income taxes: The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the requirements under subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable net
investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principals. These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the
Fund, timing differences and the differing characterization of distributions
made by the Fund.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, DIRECTORS' FEES, ECONOMIC CONSULTING FEE,
ADMINISTRATION FEE AND TRANSFER AGENT FEE

Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated (the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's
Investment Adviser. The Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of
0.675% of the value of the Fund's average monthly net assets up to $100 million
and 0.55% of the value of the Fund's average monthly net assets in excess of
$100 million.

The Fund currently pays each Director who is not a director, officer or
employee of the Adviser a fee of $9,000 per annum, plus $500 for each in-person
meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee and $100 for each telephone
meeting. In addition, the Fund will reimburse all Directors for travel and out-
of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such meetings.

Economic Advisors, Inc. ("Economic Advisors"), an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Inc., serves as the Fund's Economic Consultant.
The Fund pays Economic Advisors an annual fee equal to $75,000 for services
provided.

<PAGE>

First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("FDISG") (formerly The
Shareholder Services Group, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Data
Corporation, serves as the Fund's Administrator and Transfer Agent. As
Administrator, FDISG calculates the net asset value of the Fund's shares and
generally assists in all aspects of the Fund's administration and operation. As
compensation for FDISG's services as Administrator, the Fund currently pays
FDISG a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.19% of the value of the Fund's
average monthly net assets. Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company ("Boston
Safe"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation, serves as the
Fund's Custodian. As compensation for Boston Safe's services as Custodian, the
Fund currently pays Boston Safe a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.02% of the
value of the Fund's average monthly net assets. FDISG also serves as the Fund's
common stock servicing agent (transfer agent), dividend-paying agent and
registrar, and as compensation for FDISG's services as transfer agent, the Fund
currently pays FDISG a fee at an annual rate of 0.04% of the value of the Fund's
average monthly net assets plus certain out-of-pocket expenses. If, however, the
net assets of the Fund fall below $166,000,000, the fee will increase to an
annual rate of 0.05% of the value of the Fund's average monthly net assets.

Chemical Bank ("Auction Agent") serves as the Fund's Money Market
Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing
agent and redemption agent.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities for the year ended
November 30, 1995, excluding short-term investments, aggregated $185,194,541 and
$186,652,974, respectively.

At November 30, 1995, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost was $15,811,623
and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is
an excess of tax cost over value was $1,482,281.

4. COMMON STOCK

At November 30, 1995, 240,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock
were authorized.

<TABLE>
Common Stock transactions were as follows:

<CAPTION>

======= == ====== ========
</TABLE>

During the year ended November 30, 1994, it was determined that actual
offering costs were less than the estimated 1993 offering costs by $46,010.
Therefore, paid-in capital in excess of par value of Common Stock has been
increased by this amount.

<PAGE>

5. MONEY MARKET CUMULATIVE PREFERRED(TM) STOCK

The Fund's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. On April 30, 1993, the
Fund received proceeds from the public offering of 775 shares of Money Market
Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock of $77,500,000 before offering costs of $171,219
and underwriting discounts and commissions paid directly to Lehman Brothers
Inc. of $1,356,250. The Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock is senior
to the Common Stock and results in the financial leveraging of the Common
Stock. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to
Common Stock Shareholders. Dividends on shares of Money Market Cumulative
Preferred(TM) Stock are cumulative.

The Fund is required to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to
the Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock. If the Fund fails to meet these
requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to
redeem, in part or in full, Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock at a
redemption price of $100,000 per share plus an amount equal to the accumulated
and unpaid dividends on such shares in order to meet these requirements.
Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset requirements could restrict
the Fund's ability to pay dividends to Common Stock Shareholders and could lead
to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times.

If the Fund allocates any net gains or income ineligible for the Dividends
Received Deduction to shares of the Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock,
the Fund may be required to make additional distributions to Money Market
Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock Shareholders or to pay a higher dividend rate in
amounts needed to provide a return, net of tax, equal to the return had such
originally paid dividends been eligible for the Dividends Received Deduction.

An auction of the Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock is generally
held every 49 days. Existing shareholders may submit an order to hold, bid or
sell such shares at par value on each auction date. Money Market Cumulative
Preferred(TM) Stock Shareholders may also trade shares in the secondary market
between auction dates.

At November 30, 1995, 775 shares of Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM)
Stock were outstanding at the annual rate of 4.239%. The dividend rate, as set
by the auction process, is generally expected to vary with short-term interest
rates. These rates may vary in a manner unrelated to the income received on the
Fund's assets, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on net
investment income and gains available to Common Stock Shareholders. While the
Fund expects to structure the portfolio holdings and hedging transactions to
lessen such risks to Common Stock Shareholders, there can be no assurance that
such results will be attained.

6. ORGANIZATION COSTS

Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its organization and initial
public offering of Common Stock and Money Market Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock
were $32,000 and $31,000, respectively, and are

<PAGE>

being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period beginning
February 19, 1993 (the date of the Fund's commencement of investment operations)
and April 30, 1993 (the date of the issuance of the Fund's Money Market
Cumulative Preferred(TM) Stock), respectively.

7. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS, CONCENTRATION AND INVESTMENT QUALITY

The Fund invests primarily in adjustable and fixed rate preferred stocks.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 25% of its assets in
securities issued by utilities and at least 25% of its assets in securities
issued by companies in the banking industry. The Fund's portfolio may therefore
be subject to greater risk and market fluctuation than a portfolio of securities
representing a broader range of investment alternatives. The risks could
adversely affect the ability and inclination of companies in these industries to
declare and pay dividends or interest and the ability of holders of securities
of such companies to realize any value from the assets of the issuer upon
liquidation or bankruptcy. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its assets at
the time of purchase in securities rated below investment grade, provided that
no such investment may be rated below both "Ba" by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. and "BB" by Standard & Poor's Corporation or judged to be comparable in
quality at the time of purchase; however, any such securities must be issued by
an issuer having an outstanding class of senior debt rated investment grade. The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in common stock. The Fund's investment
policy regarding debt securities was amended on July 21, 1995. The amended
policy allows the Fund to invest up to 35% of its assets in Monthly Income
Preferred Shares ("MIPS") and Quarterly Income Debt Securities ("QUIDS"), and
similarly-structured instruments, subject to the quality standards set forth
above.

8. SPECIAL INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

The Fund may employ certain investment techniques in accordance with its
fundamental investment policies. These may include the use of when-issued and
delayed delivery transactions. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
delayed delivery basis may be settled within 45 days after the date of the
transaction. Such transactions may expose the Fund to credit and market
valuation risk greater than that associated with regular trade settlement
procedures. The Fund may also enter into transactions, in accordance with its
fundamental investment policies, involving any or all of the following: lending
of portfolio securities, short sales of securities, futures contracts, options
on futures contracts, and options on securities. With the exception of
purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or lending
portfolio securities, these transactions are used for hedging or other
appropriate risk-management purposes or, under certain other circumstances, to
increase income. As of November 30, 1995, the Fund owned put options on U.S.
Treasury Bond futures contracts. No assurance can be given that such
transactions will achieve their desired purposes or will result in an overall
reduction of risk to the Fund.

<PAGE>

9. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD

At November 30, 1995, the Fund had available capital loss carryforwards of
$1,643,590 and $4,987,048 to offset future realized net gains through the fiscal
years ending November 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On December 11, 1995, the Fund declared a dividend of $0.082 per share (all
of which represents a dividend from net investment income to Common Stock
Shareholders of record December 21, 1995), payable December 29, 1995.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
- ---------------------------------------------

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN

Under the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"),
a shareholder whose Common Stock is registered in his own name will have all
distributions reinvested automatically by FDISG as agent under the Plan, unless
the shareholder elects to receive cash. Distributions with respect to shares
registered in the name of a broker-dealer or other nominee (that is, in "street
name") may be reinvested by the broker or nominee in additional shares under the
Plan, but only if the service is provided by the broker or nominee, unless the
shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. A shareholder who holds
Common Stock registered in the name of a broker or other nominee may not be able
to transfer the Common Stock to another broker or nominee and continue to
participate in the Plan. Investors who own Common Stock registered in street
name should consult their broker or nominee for details regarding reinvestment.

The number of shares of Common Stock distributed to participants in the
Plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. Whenever
the market price per share of the Fund's Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the
net asset value per share on the valuation date, participants in the Plan will
be issued new shares valued at the higher of net asset value or 95% of the then
current market value. Otherwise, FDISG will buy shares of the Fund's Common
Stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, on or
shortly after the payment date of the dividend or distribution and continuing
until the ex-dividend date of the Fund's next distribution to holders of the
Common Stock or until it has expended for such purchases all of the cash that
would otherwise be payable to the participants. The number of purchased shares
that will then be credited to the participants' accounts will be based on the
average per share purchase price of the shares so purchased, including brokerage
commissions. If FDISG commences purchases in the open market and the then
current market price of the shares (plus any estimated brokerage commissions)
subsequently exceeds their net asset value most recently determined before the
completion of the purchases, FDISG will attempt to terminate purchases in the
open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining dividend or distribution
in shares. In this case, the number of shares received by the participant will
be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open
market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. These
remaining shares will be issued by the Fund at the higher of net asset value or
95% of the then current market value.

Plan participants are not subject to any charge for reinvesting dividends
or capital gains distributions. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a
proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to FDISG's
open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or
capital gains distributions. For the year ended November 30, 1995, $11,125 in
brokerage commissions were incurred.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions
will not relieve Plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the
dividends or capital gains distributions. A participant in the Plan will be
treated for Federal income tax purposes as having received, on the dividend

<PAGE>

payment date, a dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the cash that the
participant could have received instead of shares.

In addition to acquiring shares of Common Stock through the reinvestment of
cash dividends and distributions, a shareholder may invest any further amounts
from $100 to $3,000 semi-annually at the then current market price in shares
purchased through the Plan. Such semi-annual investments are subject to any
brokerage commission charges incurred.

A shareholder whose Common Stock is registered in his or her own name may
terminate participation in the Plan at any time by notifying FDISG in writing,
by completing the form on the back of the Plan account statement and forwarding
it to FDISG or by calling FDISG directly. A termination will be effective
immediately if notice is received by FDISG not less than 10 days before any
dividend or distribution record date. Otherwise, the termination will be
effective, and only with respect to any subsequent dividends or distributions,
on the first day after the dividend or distribution has been credited to the
participant's account in additional shares of the Fund. Upon termination and
according to a participant's instructions, FDISG will either (a) issue
certificates for the whole shares credited to the shareholder's Plan account and
a check representing any fractional shares or (b) sell the shares in the market.
Shareholders who hold common stock registered in the name of a broker or other
nominee should consult their broker or nominee to terminate participation.

The Plan is described in more detail in the Fund's Plan brochure.
Information concerning the Plan may be obtained from FDISG at 1-800-331-1710.
