A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009.

The U.S stock market ended 2009 with a healthy annual gain, but market indices across all capitalization ranges and investment styles remained well below the peaks reached in the fall of 2007.The equity market’s advance was driven by improving investor sentiment as the U.S. economy staged a gradual, but sustained, recovery from the recession and banking crisis that had depressed stock prices at the beginning of the year. After four consecutive quarters of contraction, the U.S. economy returned to growth during the third quarter of 2009, buoyed by greater manufacturing activity to replenish depleted inventories and satisfy export demand. The slumping housing market also showed signs of renewed life later in the year when home sales and prices rebounded modestly. However, economic headwinds remain, including a high unemployment rate and the prospect of anemic consumer spending.

As 2010 begins, our Chief Economist, as well as many securities analysts and portfolio managers have continued to find opportunities and survey potential challenges across a variety of asset classes, including equities. While no one can predict the future, we believe that the 2010 investment environment will likely require a broader range of investment considerations relative to last year. As always, your financial adviser can help you determine the mix of investments that may be best suited to helping you achieve your goals at a level of risk that is comfortable for you.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Jonathan R. Baum
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, as provided by Jocelin Reed, Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2009, The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund’s Initial shares produced a total return of 33.75%, and the fund’s Service shares returned 33.44%.¹In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), produced a total return of 26.47% for the same period.²

Stocks climbed in 2009 as hopes mounted for a recovery from the worst recession in more than 70 years. In this environment, growth-oriented, economically sensitive stocks tended to outperform the broader market. The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark, partly due to our emphasis on growth-oriented technology stocks.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks capital growth, with current income as a secondary objective. To pursue these goals, the fund invests primarily in the common stocks of companies that, in our opinion, meet traditional investment standards while simultaneously conducting their businesses in a manner that contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life in America. In selecting stocks, we begin by using quantitative research to identify and rank stocks within an industry or sector. Next, based on fundamental analysis, we designate the most attractive of the higher ranked securities as potential purchase candidates. We then evaluate potential purchase candidates by industry or sector,to determine whether the company meets the fund’s socially responsible investment criteria.

We next select investments from those companies that we consider to be the most attractive based on financial considerations. If there is more than one company to choose from, we can select stocks of companies that we consider to have records that exhibit positive accomplishments in the fund’s areas of social concern.

The fund normally focuses on large-cap growth stocks; however, we may emphasize different types of growth-oriented stocks and different

market capitalizations within the large-capitalization range as market conditions warrant.The fund also may invest in value-oriented stocks, midcap stocks and small-cap stocks.

The Stock Market Staged a Strong Recovery

Equity markets bottomed in early March 2009 amid a deep recession exacerbated by a global banking crisis. However, an aggressive monetary policy and massive government stimulus programs subsequently bolstered investor confidence, driving stocks sharply higher through the spring.

By mid-year, the S&P 500 Index had recovered all the ground it had lost earlier in the year.While traditionally lagging economic indicators, such as employment, continued to show signs of weakness through the remainder of the year, a number of other indicators, from inventory figures to corporate earnings, provided evidence of renewed economic growth. As a result, stocks continued to advance over the reporting period’s second half.

A Tilt Toward Growth Bolstered Fund Performance

The fund generated particularly robust gains in the energy sector, where the pricing strength of natural gas compared to petroleum favored certain exploration-and-production companies, such as Southwestern Energy, EOG Resources and Talisman Energy. Overweighted exposure to growth-oriented technology stocks also boosted performance amid expectations of a rebound in business spending. The fund emphasized companies exhibiting high-quality earnings and balance sheets, such as Apple, International Business Machines and Microsoft. Finally, among industrial stocks, the fund outperformed its benchmark by avoiding General Electric, which was hurt by credit exposure in its financial unit. Top performing industrial holdings included diversified manufacturer 3M and aerospace contractor Rockwell Collins, which benefited from a pickup in commercial aircraft orders.

On a more negative note, biotechnology developer Genzyme suffered a sharp loss when manufacturing problems forced a plant closure in the spring of 2009. More broadly, the fund’s emphasis on relatively high-quality financial companies,such as State Street and AFLAC,undermined returns when more speculative, previously beaten down stocks staged stronger rebounds. Finally, returns in the materials sector lagged due to the fund’s underweighted exposure to high-flying gold stocks.

Focusing on Growth Opportunities

We have continued to favor investments in growth-oriented areas, such as the technology sector, where we see potential for increased business spending.We also have emphasized industrial companies that appear poised to benefit from renewed economic growth. In contrast, the fund holds underweighted exposure to financial and energy stocks, where prospects are more uncertain.

Emphasizing Environmentally Friendly Fuels

The fund’s socially responsible investment standards help shape investment decisions in virtually every sector. For example, our environmental criteria have led us to emphasize energy companies with significant exposure to natural gas, a relatively clean burning fuel.The three energy holdings cited in this report, Southwestern Energy, EOG Resources and Talisman Energy, all produce sizeable quantities of natural gas as part of their regular ongoing North American operations. Plentiful reserves of natural gas are available within the continental United States, and burning this fuel produces roughly 25% lower emissions than oil and 50% lower emissions than coal, thereby lessening the environmental impact of energy consuming activity.

For further information regarding the fund’s approach to socially responsible investing, please consult the fund’s prospectus.

	The fund is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable
	annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Individuals may not purchase shares of the fund
	directly.A variable annuity is an insurance contract issued by an insurance company that enables
	investors to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement or other long-term goals.The
	investment objective and policies of The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. made
	available through insurance products may be similar to other funds managed or advised by
	Dreyfus. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and may not be
	comparable to, those of any other Dreyfus fund.
1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no
	guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption,
	fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.The fund’s performance does not
	reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in
	variable insurance contracts, which will reduce returns.

FUND PERFORMANCE


Average Annual Total Returns as of 12/31/09
	1 Year	5 Years	10 Years
Initial shares	33.75%	1.36%	–3.49%
Service shares	33.44%	1.11%	–3.72%

The data for Service shares includes the results of Initial shares for the period prior to December 31, 2000

(inception date of Service shares). Actual Service shares’ average annual total return and hypothetical growth

results would have been lower. See notes below.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.The fund’s performance shown in the graph and table does not

reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

The fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection

with investing in variable insurance contracts which will reduce returns.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Initial and Service shares of The Dreyfus Socially

Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. on 12/31/99 to a $10,000 investment made in the Standard & Poor’s 500

Composite Stock Price Index (the “Index”) on that date.

The fund’s Initial shares are not subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee.The fund’s Service shares are subject to a 0.25% annual Rule 12b-1 fee.The performance figures for Service shares reflect the performance of the fund’s Initial shares from their inception date through December 30, 2000, and the performance of the fund’s Service shares from December 31, 2000 (inception date of Service shares) to December 31, 2009 (blended performance figures).The blended performance figures have not been adjusted to reflect the higher operating expenses of the Service shares. If these expenses had been reflected, the blended performance figures would have been lower.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account all applicable fund fees and expenses.The Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged index of U.S. stock market performance. Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.The fund’s investment objective is to provide capital growth, with current income as a secondary goal through equity investments in companies that not only meet traditional investment standards, but which also show evidence that they conduct their business in a manner that contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life in America.The fund is only offered to separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 300 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Initial shares (150 million shares authorized) and Service shares (150 million shares authorized). Initial shares are subject to a shareholder services fee and Service shares are subject to a distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution plan, shareholder services plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources

The Fund 19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available, are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair

valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount 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 (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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 necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the fund’s investments:

Mutual Funds	8,471,208	—	—	8,471,208
† See Statement of Investments for industry classification.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is entitled to receive all income on secu-

rities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended December 31, 2009, The Bank of NewYork Mellon earned $9,143 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2009, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The Fund 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At December 31, 2009, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,922,258, accumulated capital losses $140,701,527 and unrealized appreciation $18,275,466.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2009. If not applied, $103,833,733 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2010, $19,771,483 expires in fiscal 2011 and $17,096,311 expires in fiscal 2017.

During the period ended December 31, 2009, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for capital loss carryover expiration, the fund increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $50,319,693 and decreased paid-in capital by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended December 31, 2009, was approximately $5,300 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.56%.

We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., at December 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW

AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the fund held on July 14 and 15, 2009, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through August 31, 2010) of the fund’s Management Agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Board members noted that the fund’s shares are offered only to separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Manager also provided the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board members also considered the Manager’s

The Fund 31

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure. The Board also considered the Manager’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution and the Manager’s policies and practices regarding soft dollars.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and comparisons to a group of large-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products (“VIPs”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all large-cap growth funds underlying VIPs, each of which are not required to use one or more social screens when choosing securities for the funds’ portfolios (“Performance Group I” and “Performance Universe I,” respectively) and to a group of funds under-lyingVIPs and to a larger universe of funds underlyingVIPs from different categories, each of which are required to use one or more social screens when choosing securities for the funds’ portfolios (“Performance Group II” and “Performance Universe II,” respectively).The fund’s portfolio manager uses social screens when choosing securities for the fund’s portfolio,as described in the fund’s prospectus.Each Performance Group and Performance Universe was selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data.The Board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select each Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as each Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons for various periods ended May 31, 2009.The Board members noted that the fund’s total return performance for its Initial shares was above the medians for each Performance Group and Performance Universe for the reported periods, except for the 4- and 10-year periods of Performance Group I, the 10-year period of Performance Group II, and the 5- and 10- year periods of each Performance Universe and in each case the fund’s performance was below the median.The Manager also provided a comparison of the fund’s total returns to the returns of its benchmark index for each of the last ten calendar years.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds and a broader group of funds that were selected by Lipper and are not required to use one or more social screens when choosing securities for the funds’ portfolios (“Expense Group I” and “Expense Universe I,” respectively) and with a group of funds and a broader group of funds that were selected by Lipper and use one or more social screens when choosing securities for the funds’ portfolios (“Expense Group II” and “Expense Universe II,” respectively). The Board members noted that the contractual and actual management fees and expense ratio of the fund’s Initial shares (which are not subject to a Rule 12b-1 plan) were at or higher than the Expense Group I and Expense Universe I medians, except that the expense ratio was below the Expense Universe I median. In addition, the Board noted that the fund’s contractual and actual management fees and expense ratio for its Initial shares were at or lower than the Expense Group II and Expense Universe II medians.The Board members also noted that the expense ratio of the fund’s Service shares (which are subject to a Rule 12b-1 plan) was higher than each Expense Group and Expense Universe median.

Representatives of the Manager noted that the Manager or its affiliates do not manage other mutual funds or accounts with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit. The Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Manager’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex. The Board members also had been informed that the methodology had been reviewed by an independent registered public

The Fund 33

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

accounting firm which, like the consultant, found the methodology to be reasonable.The consulting firm also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of the fund. The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances applicable to the fund, including any decline in assets, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund, including any soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s investments.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fee under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services. It also was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the services provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the ser- vices provided by the Manager were adequate and appropriate.
The Board was satisfied with the fund’s overall performance.
The Board concluded that the fee paid by the fund to the Manager was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative perfor- mance and expense and management fee information, costs of the services provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.

The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the man- agement of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that mater- ial economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
