CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements about the Fund's business, including, in particular, statements about the Fund's plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the Fund's use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue" or other similar words. These statements include the Fund's plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth, availability of funds and dividends/earnings, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond the Fund's control. Although the Fund believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and the Fund's actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by the Fund or any other person that the Fund's objectives and plans, which the Fund considers to be reasonable, will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Moreover, the Fund assumes no duty and does not undertake to update the forward-looking statements. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that the Fund makes directly to you or through reports that the Fund has filed or in the future files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form Quarterly Reports on Form and Current Reports on Form
