President's Letter & Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
 
May 31, 2013
 
Dear AMIDEXTM Funds, Inc. Shareholder,
 
Enclosed please find the Annual Report for the AMIDEXTM Funds, Inc. for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.

During the last fiscal year we have seen corrections in all major indexes both on Tel Aviv and U.S. markets. This trend continued throughout the first two quarters of the year. By the second half of the year the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) lost some steam following the Israeli elections and, many believe, based on the decision to exclude Israel from the MSCI Europe Index. During our 2012 annual index revision the shift in weight continued from Israeli traded stocks to U.S. domiciled stocks as Tel Aviv traded stocks showed stable performance. In the U.S., markets are rallying on housing prices registering their biggest gains in seven years and contracts for previously owned homes rising to their highest levels in three years. The Index now is comprised of 14 U.S. traded stocks and 18 Israeli traded stocks. Among the newcomers on the U.S. side are SodaStream International and Taro Pharmaceuticals, Ltd..

After a year-long period of anticipation, MSCI decided against including Israel in its Europe Index. The inclusion was expected to bring an additional flow of $1 billion to $2 billion. The TASE requested to be included in the MSCI Europe gauge in an effort to boost trading volumes. The country’s move to developed market from emerging in May 2010 was one of the factors contributing to a trading decline in Tel Aviv. The long process of forming a government only added uncertainty. The market missed out on positive data while investors waited to see who would  join Netanyahu's coalition.

The U.S. economy expanded at a sluggish annualized pace and far below what is needed to lower the unemployment rate. However, several factors that restrained results—including a slowdown in inventory accumulation and a steep decline in military spending—are expected to abate this year. In addition, consumer spending, which accounts for roughly 70% of U.S. economic growth, has picked up, and the housing market has grown progressively stronger.

One of Israel’s greatest challenges is still overcoming the relentless stream of biased and negative media portrayals.  Although political developments and news stores rarely have any long term effect on the performance of Israelis stocks, it remains difficult to motivate investors to look past perceptions and at reality.  Recent developments in the region have been exploited to promote ongoing campaigns aimed at delegitimizing Israel.  Those of us who believe in Israel and its people, and who strive to invest in Israeli companies for mutual benefit, must be careful to refute these anti-Israeli messages.  Although negative depictions of Israel in the press still plague us, we believe that the true story of Israel’s economic miracle will ultimately prevail.

We remain convinced that over the long term, Israeli entrepreneurialism coupled with Israel’s legendary investments in research and development, will lead to opportunities for portfolio growth.  We intend to stay the course and to patiently wait for world markets to gradually rebound.

For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2013, the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class No-Load, Class A and Class C returned 13.39%, 13.33%* and 12.52%*, respectively. For the same period, the S&P500 Total Return Index returned 27.28%. For the ten year period ended May 31, 2013, the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class No-Load had an annualized return of 5.22%. For the same period, the S&P500 Index rose 7.57%. For the ten year period ended May 31, 2013, the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class A had an annualized return 5.12%*. For the ten year period ended May 31, 2013, the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class C had an annualized return of 4.35%.

* The returns stated above do not take into consideration transaction charges such as sales loads, redemption fees or CDSC fees. If these fees were taken into consideration, the one year and ten year returns for the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class A shares would be 7.10% and 4.53%, respectively and the one year returns for the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class C shares would be 11.40%. There is a maximum sales load of 5.50% on certain Class A subscriptions. A 1% contingent deferred sales charge “CDSC fee” is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within thirteen months of purchase. The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund No-Load Class shares redeemed within one year of purchase. See Total Return Table on the following pages for additional return information.

Our primary investment strategy and objective remains unchanged.  Our Fund is based on an index, and there has been no change in the underlying index or portfolio, other than routine maintenance as outlined in the prospectuses.

We continue to believe in the merits of investing in our AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund and, and we remain committed to the index methodology as the best method of holding portfolios of stocks in our specialty niche.  We encourage our investors to remain focused on the long-term prospects for the Fund, and to persevere through the uncertainties that still lie ahead.

Let's hope that the future brings comfort to those who are suffering, calm to regions too long plagued by violence, and security, both physical and economic, to all Americans.

Best regards,
 

 
Cliff Goldstein

The performance information quoted in this annual report assumes the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, if any, and represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and, therefore, an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The above graph depicts the performance of the AMIDEX35 Israel Mutual Fund versus the MSCI World Index and the S&P 500 Total Return Index. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The S&P 500 Total Return Index by Standard and Poor’s Corp. is a capitalization-weighted index comprising 500 issues listed on various exchanges, representing the performance of the stock market generally. Please note that indices do not take into account any fees and expenses of investing in the individual securities that they track and individuals cannot invest directly in any index.

Due to the bi-national, multi-sector and market capitalization range of the Fund, there aren’t adequate publically published benchmarks for comparison.  As with any fund, save an index fund, that commonly compares its performance to the MSCI World Index and the S&P 500 Total Return Index, such a comparison may be said to be inappropriate because of the dissimilarity between the Fund’s investments and the securities comprising the indices; there may be little or no congruence between these indices and the AMIDEX35 Israel Mutual Fund, which will not invest in certain securities comprising these indices.

ANNUAL REPORT

Information About Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)


As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The table below illustrates an example investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period (December 1, 2012) and held for the entire period of 12/01/12 through 05/31/13. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses (relating to the example $1,000 investment made on 12/01/12). You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first row under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 


Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information on transactional costs, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMIDEXTM Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland on April 27, 1999, and currently consists of one active portfolio, the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a non-diversified Fund. As a non-diversified Fund, it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a small number of companies. The Company is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Fund was registered to offer four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and No-load class, with only the Class A, Class C and No-load shares currently being offered in the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges, minimum investment amounts and ongoing fees. Income and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative share balances. The Fund’s investment objective is long term growth of capital. The Fund became effective with the SEC on April 27, 1999 and commenced operations on June 8, 1999.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

a)  Investment Valuation - A portfolio security listed or traded on an exchange in domestic or international markets is valued at the last reported sale price of the primary exchange on which it trades before the time when the Fund values assets. Securities traded on more than one market are valued using the market identified as primary based on trading volume and activity. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy described below. If there are no sales that day, such securities will be valued at the last bid price, if available. Other over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sale price, if published, or the last bid price, if available. Lacking any sales on the principal exchange that day, the security is valued at the last reported bid, if available and would be categorized as level 2. Debt securities with maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued based on amortized cost which approximates fair value and would be categorized as level 2. Money market funds are valued at their asset value of $1.00 per share and are categorized as level 1. If market quotations are not readily available, or when the portfolio management team believes that a readily available market quotation or other valuation produced by the Fund’s valuation policies is not reliable, the Fund values the assets at fair value using procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Board members have delegated pricing authority to the fair valuation committee of the adviser, for certain pricing issues, as defined in the valuation procedures. Events affecting the value of securities that occur between the time prices are established and the New York Stock Exchange closes are not reflected in the calculation of net asset value unless the fair valuation committee decides that the event would materially affect the net asset value. If the event would materially affect the Fund’s net asset values, the security will be fair valued by the fair valuation committee or, at its discretion, by an independent fair valuation vendor. As of and during the year ended May 31, 2013, no securities were valued as determined by the Board of Directors.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, ASC 820, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of May 31, 2013, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:
 
Security Classification (a)
     
Level 1
     
     Common Stock - Israel (b)
  $ 6,978,350  
     Common Stock - United States (b)
    5,652,745  
Total Level 1
  $ 12,631,095  
         
Level 2
  $ -  
         
Level 3
  $ -  
         
Total Investments
  $ 12,631,095  

(a)
As of and during the year ended May 31, 2013, the Fund held no securities that were considered to be “Level 3” securities (those valued using significant unobservable inputs). Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.
(b)
All common stocks held in the Fund are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of common stocks by major industry classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.
 
The Fund recognizes transfers, if any, between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end.  There were no transfers between levels as of May 31, 2013, from the valuation input levels used on May 31, 2012.

b)  Foreign Currency Translation - Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Fund does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

c)  Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made since the Fund has complied to date with sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and intends to comply in the future and to distribute all of its net investment income and realized capital gains to its shareholders.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions in the open tax years of  2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and during the year ended May 31, 2013 and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the above open tax years. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Maryland. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

d)  Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid-in capital or net realized gain.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

e)  Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f)  Redemption Fees and Sales Charges (loads) - Shareholders of the No-load shares that redeem shares within 365 days of purchase will be assessed a redemption fee of 2.00% of the amount redeemed. The redemption fee is paid directly to and retained by the Fund, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs that may be associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Fund. A maximum sales charge of 5.50% is imposed on Class A shares. Shareholders of the Class C shares are imposed a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% in the event of certain redemption transactions within thirteen months following such investments. The CDSC is paid directly to the Adviser to reimburse expenses incurred in providing distribution-related services to the Fund. For the year ended May 31, 2013, there were redemption fees of $1,496 paid to the Fund and CDSC fees of $335 paid to the Adviser.

g)  Other - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Fund and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

The Fund has entered into an Investment Company Services Agreement (“ICSA”) with Matrix Capital Group, Inc. (“Matrix”). Pursuant to the ICSA, Matrix will provide day-to-day operational services to the Fund including, but not limited to, accounting, administrative, transfer agent, dividend disbursement, registrar and record keeping services. For its services, Matrix receives $10,250 per month. For the year ended May 31, 2013, Matrix earned $123,000 with $10,250 remaining payable at May 31, 2013 from the Fund.

Certain Officers of the Fund are also employees of Matrix.

The Fund and II have entered into a Distribution Agreement with Matrix Capital Group, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Matrix will provide distribution services to the Fund. Matrix serves as underwriter/distributor of the Fund. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Matrix receives $20,000 per year from the Fund. Matrix also receives commissions from the sale of Class A Fund shares for which they are the broker of record. The allocated distribution fees are reduced by the amount of commissions received and the remainder is paid from the accruals pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended May 31, 2013, Matrix received net distribution fees of $19,769 from the Fund. For the year ended May 31, 2013, Matrix received commissions from the sale of Fund shares of $231 from the Class A shares.

A separate plan of distribution has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for each class of shares. With respect to Class A and the No-load class of shares, the plan provides that the Fund may pay a servicing or Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% annually of the Fund’s average net assets attributable to each class of shares, respectively, and up to 1.00% annually of the Fund’s average net assets attributable to Class C shares to persons or institutions for performing certain servicing functions for the Fund’s shareholders. The distribution plan is a compensation plan, which also allows the Fund to pay or reimburse expenditures in connection with sales, and promotional services related to distribution of the Fund’s shares, including personal services provided to prospective and existing shareholders.

The distribution plans for the shares in the Class A, the No-load class and Class C shares took effect November 19, 1999, June 8, 1999 and May 19, 2000, respectively. For the year ended May 31, 2013, the Fund incurred $38,776 in 12b-1 fees with $6,089 remaining payable at May 31, 2013.

TAX MATTERS

There were no distributions paid during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012.

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments at May 31, 2013 were as follows:

Cost
 
Gross
Appreciation
 
Gross

 $  4,101,253
 
 $   (2,662,814)
 
 $  1,438,439

The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales for the Fund.

TAX MATTERS (continued)

The Fund’s distributable earnings on a tax basis are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.  As of May 31, 2013, the Fund’s most recent fiscal year-end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Unrealized Appreciation
  $ 1,438,474  
Capital Loss Carryforwards
    (3,986,717 )
Post-October Capital Losses
    (1,445,177 )
Post-December Ordinary Losses
    (96,622 )
     Total Distributable Earnings, Net
  $ (4,090,042 )

The carryforward losses shown above differ from corresponding accumulated net investment loss and accumulated net realized gain (loss) figures reported in the statement of assets and liabilities due to differing temporary book/tax differences due to the tax deferral of wash sales and post-October losses.

Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31st and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Fund’s carryforward losses, post-October losses and post-December losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.  As of May 31, 2013, the Fund elected to defer net capital losses as indicated in the charts below.

Post-October Losses
 
Post-December Losses
Deferred
Utilized
 
Deferred
Utilized
$1,445,177
$500,643
 
$96,622
$92,652

As of May 31, 2013 the Fund has capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes as follows:
 
Expiring in:
2014
 
$ (1,409,903 )
2015
    (1,009,874 )
2016
    (652,905 )
2017
    (393,230 )
2018
    (51,633 )
No Expiration – Long-Term
    (469,172 )
    $ (3,986,717 )

At May 31, 2013, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards of $3,986,717, which are available for offset against future capital gains, the use of a portion of which is limited by IRS regulations. To the extent these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the amount offset will not be distributed to shareholders. Capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $323,400 expired during the year ended May 31, 2013.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term. Under the law in effect prior to the Act, pre-enactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be utilized before pre-enactment net capital losses.

RECLASS OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

In accordance with accounting pronouncements, the Fund has recorded reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and are designed generally to present accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated realized gains/(losses) on a tax basis which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. As of May 31, 2013, the Fund recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the capital accounts as follows:
 
Net
Investment Loss
   
Paid-in Capital
   
Accumulated
Capital Losses
$ 208,950     $ (531,081 )   $ 322,131

7.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Fund invests a majority of its funds in common stocks of Israeli companies. Investing in companies from one geographic region may pose additional risks inherent to a region’s economical and political situation.

A large portion of investments held by Fund are considered investments in the technology sector of the market. Investing in a single market sector may be riskier than investing in a variety of market sectors.

8.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of May 31, 2013, Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. held 41.74% of the Fund’s Class A shares in omnibus accounts for the sole benefit of their customers. As of May 31, 2013, Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. held 35.36% of the Fund’s Class C shares in an omnibus account for the sole benefit of their customers.

9.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

10.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-11 will have on the financial statement disclosures.
 
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01”) which amended ASC Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01 clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that entity’s financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The guidance in ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any impact ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 may have on the Fund’s financial statements.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
