Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Fund's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Fund's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of May 31, 2000, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from April 28, 2000 (the date of our last examination), through May 31, 2000: - - Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault, if any, of State Street Bank and Trust, in Quincy, Massachusetts, the Custodian, without prior notice to management; - - Confirmation of all securities held by Dresdner Bank AG and the Depository Trust Company in book entry form; - - Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees and/or transfer agents; - - Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Funds and the Custodian; and - - Agreement of nine security purchases and two security sales since our last report from the books and records of the Company to broker confirmations.
