Note 1. Valuation and Investment Practices
Portfolio Valuation: The net asset value of the Funds is determined by the Funds administrator no less frequently than on the last business day of each week and month. It is determined by dividing the value of the Funds net assets by the number of common shares by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The value of the Funds net assets is deemed to equal the value of the Funds total assets less the Funds liabilities. Securities listed on a national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale on such exchange or the NASDAQ Official Close Price (NOCP) 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, or based on a matrix system which utilizes information (such as credit ratings, yields and maturities) from independent sources. 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 at the time of purchase, 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 with premiums and discounts being amortized or accreted, respectively.
Cash distributions received from the Funds investment in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and registered investment companies (RICs) are recorded as income. A portion of these distributions are returns of capital. As of February 28, 2005, all accumulated net realized gains relating to returns of capital from REIT distributions have been reclassified to unrealized gain.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. The Funds Management 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 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.
Note 2. Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)
On February 28, 2005, net unrealized appreciation for Federal tax purposes was $18,477,517, consisting of $20,052,022 aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost and $1,574,505 aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value.
