                           --------------------------


Performance figures for Class B and C shares for the period May 31, 1994 through
each Fund's most recent fiscal year end reflect the actual  performance of these
classes of  shares.  Returns  for Class B and C shares for the period  beginning
with  the  inception  date of each  Fund's  Class A shares  to May 31,  1994 are
derived from the historical  performance of Class A shares,  adjusted to reflect
the operating expenses  applicable to Class B and C shares,  which may be higher
or lower than those of Class A shares. The performance figures are also adjusted
to reflect the maximum  sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares and the maximum
current  contingent  deferred  sales  charge of 4% for Class B shares and 1% for
Class C shares.

The returns in the chart below assume reinvestment of distributions at net asset
value  and  represent  both  actual  past   performance   figures  and  adjusted
performance figures of the Class B and C shares of each Fund as described above;
they do not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost.

date of each Fund's Class A shares through May 31, 1994.  Actual  performance of
Class B and C shares is shown beginning May 31, 1994.
