Introduction

Hello, my name is __________. I'm calling from DF King on behalf of Jurika &
Voyles Funds. May I please speak to __________?

Address Shareholder Needs

The Board of Trustees of your Jurika & Voyles Fund mailed a proxy statement that
requires your attention. I'm calling to find out if you received these
materials. May I have a moment of your time?

Have you received the proxy materials in the mail?

     If not, then help the shareholder obtain the material he/she requires. In
     either case, make sure the address is correct, make any necessary
     corrections, and code the disposition as "14" or "15". If the shareholder
     says he/she just got the materials, offer him/her the 800 phone number 1-
     800-714-3310, offer to give him/her a brief summary of the proxy statement,
     and explain that someone may call in a few days to answer any questions.

Are you familiar with the proposal? May I assist you with any questions?

     Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice. Remind the
     shareholder that the Board of Trustees has recommended that he/she vote in
     favor. Many questions can be addressed by referring to the proxy statement
     and reading the appropriate sections.

If it's convenient for you, I can record your vote over the telephone right now.
Is it convenient?

     Allow the shareholder to give you a response. If the shareholder says
     he/she has already sent in the proxy, do not ask the shareholder how he/she
     voted and politely end the call.

Here's how we'll proceed. The phone call will be recorded to assure accuracy. I
will ask you for your name, confirmation that you received the proxy materials,
your address, and the last 4 digits of your social security number. We'll then
take your vote. Within 72 hours, we'll mail you a letter confirming your vote.
Are you ready?

     Depending on answer, TAB down and choose either "Y" or "N". If you are
     going to take a vote, remember to allow the phone call to be recorded.

Begin the Vote

At this time, I'll begin recording the call. First, I'll reintroduce myself. My
name is __________, calling from DF King & Co on behalf of Jurika & Voyles
Funds. Today's date is __________ and the time is __________ eastern time.

May I please have your name?
<PAGE>

May I ask if you received the proxy materials?

May I please have your address?

And finally the last 4 digits of your social security number?

     Input the last 4 digits of the SSN. You may not proceed without this
     information. If the shareholder refuses to give this information, explain
     that it is for security purposes only, to assure that only the proper
     person can vote his/her shares. However, if the shareholder continues to
     resist, you have no choice but to politely end the call. In this case,
     return to the first screen (Shift TAB) and hit "N", which will take you to
     the disposition screen.

Actual Voting

Your Board of Trustees has made a proposal that it has studied carefully. It
recommends that you vote in favor of this proposal. Would you like to vote in
favor of this proposal as recommended by your Board?

     Choose either "Y" or "N". If you choose "Y", then the computer will fill in
     the response for the proposal. If you choose "N", you must input a vote for
     the proposal. If you are required to read the proposal, end by saying,
     "Your Board recommends that you vote in favor. How would you like to vote?"
     The valid responses are

                    F = For proposal.
                    A = Against proposal.
                    B = Abstain.
Closing

Your vote has been recorded. You have voted __________. Is that correct?

     If it is correct, then choose "Y". If it is not correct, then choose "N".
     The cursor will return to the top of the ballot and allow you to make the
     appropriate corrections.

In the next 72 hours, we'll mail you a letter confirming your votes. If you wish
to change your vote for any reason, please call us at the number listed in the
letter. Thank you for your time.

     Turn off the tape recorder. Record the shareholder's name and number of
     shares on your log. Finish the phone call. If you get a verbal vote, the
     only valid disposition is "01". If you do not get a verbal vote, then you
     may use any valid disposition except "01".
