Notes

Security Valuation: Fixed income securities are valued at the mean of bid and ask prices provided by an independent pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities. Such bid and ask prices are determined taking into account securities prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, and institutional size trading in similar securities and developments related to specific securities. Any securities for which it is determined that market prices are unavailable or inappropriate are valued at a fair value using a procedure determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market value.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of March 31, 2006 was as follows:

 

Tax Basis of
Investment
  Unrealized
Appreciation
  Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized
Depreciation
$ 476,430,987   $ 7,500,555   $ 26,153,630   $ 18,653,075
