Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)

 

Security valuations for the fund’s investments are furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the fund’s board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on NASDAQ national market system, the fund utilizes the NASDAQ Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade is within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund’s board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered by the board of directors in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. As of January 31, 2005, the Fund had no fair valued securities. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value. Security valuations are performed once a week and at the end of each month.

 

 

 

(b)

 

Delayed interest (Step Bonds) – Represents securities that remain zero-coupon securities until a predetermined date at which time the stated coupon rate becomes effective and interest becomes payable at regular intervals. The interest rate shown represents the current yield at January 31, 2005, based upon the estimated timing and amount of future interest and principal payments.

 

 

 

(c)

 

Securities purchased within the terms of a private placement memorandum, exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be sold only to dealers in that program or other “qualified institutional buyers.” These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Fund’s board of directors.

 

 

 

(d)

 

Interest only.

 

 

 

(e)

 

Z-Bond – Represents securities that pay no interest or principal during their accrual periods, but accrue additional principal at specified rates. The interest rate shown represents the current yield based upon the current cost basis, eliminated timing, and amount of future cash flows.

 

 

 

(f)

 

Variable Rate Security – The rate shown on the Schedule of Investments is the rate in effect as of January 31, 2005.

 

 

 

(g)

 

This security is illiquid and is valued using market quotations where readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the security is valued based upon its fair value determined under procedures approved by the Fund’s board of directors. The total value of illiquid securities on January 31, 2005, was $4,088,730, which represents 4.75% of net assets.

 

 

 

(h)

 

On January 31, 2005, securities valued at $25,586,447 were pledged as collateral for the following outstanding reverse repurchase agreements:
