Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 7.4% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited). 1 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, all of which haven been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the fund's Board of Directors, unless registered under the Act or exempted from registration, may only be sold to qualified institutional investors. At December 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $33,904,240 which represents 6.9% of total net assets. 2 The cost of investments for federal tax purposes amounts to $453,117,612. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $33,177,216. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $33,373,255 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $196,039. Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets at December 31, 2004. Investment Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Directors.
