A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Active MidCap Fund, covering the six-month period from January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

U.S. equities defied many analysts’ expectations over the first half of 2014 when some broad measures of stock market performance continued to achieve new record highs in the wake of very robust performance in 2013. Strong corporate earnings and rising business and consumer confidence more than offset concerns regarding geopolitical tensions in overseas markets and a weather-related domestic economic contraction during the first quarter of the year.

We believe we already have seen signs that the economy’s winter contraction will likely prove temporary, including stronger labor markets, greater manufacturing activity, rebounding housing starts, and rising household wealth. While these developments portend well for corporate earnings over the remainder of the year, our portfolio managers are aware that some stocks and industry groups have reached richer valuations, which suggests that selectivity and a long-term perspective could become more important determinants of potential investment success.As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about our observations and their implications for your investments.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014, as provided by Warren Chiang, C.Wesley Boggs, and Ronald Gala, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, Dreyfus Active MidCap Fund’s Class A shares achieved a total return of 7.10%, Class C shares returned 6.66%, and Class I shares returned 7.22%.¹In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Index (the “Index”), achieved a total return of 8.67% for the same period.²

Domestic economic growth and strong corporate earnings reports drove U.S. equities higher through the first six months of 2014. During that time, midcap stocks generally produced stronger returns than their larger-cap and smaller-cap counterparts. While the fund participated significantly in the market’s gains, disappointing stock selections in health care, energy, and information technology sectors caused its performance to underperform the benchmark.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing in midsize companies, as represented by the Russell Midcap Index. In pursuing this goal, we use quantitative models designed to identify equity securities with attractive long-term relative valuations, sustainable earnings, and behavioral factors, such as stock buybacks and analysts’ earnings revisions, that may indicate potential misvaluations.We generally maintain sector concentrations that are roughly in line with the Index.We periodically reapply these models and adjust the fund’s holdings. Stocks no longer favored by the models are sold, and highly rated stocks are purchased.The fund’s models are enhanced from time to time as suggested by our team’s ongoing research efforts.

Markets Rose Despite Various Challenges

After climbing to new record highs in 2013, U.S. equity markets slowed their advance during the first two months of 2014 in the face of severe winter weather that held back economic activity and worries about the effects of the Federal Reserve Board’s

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

plan to taper its asset purchasing program. Markets were further undermined by uncertainties connected with geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and concerns regarding economic slowdowns in China and other emerging markets. U.S. equities gained ground again in March on the strength of improving employment data and higher levels of manufacturing activity, with more defensive, value-oriented issues leading the way.

Further improvement in jobs data and solid corporate earnings encouraged investors during the final months of the reporting period, as did improving global economic prospects.As a result, U.S. stocks continued to rise, sending broad market indices into new record territory.

Stock Selection Determined Fund Performance

As usual, the fund maintained its sector-neutral position compared with its benchmark, relying on bottom-up security selection and disciplined risk management processes to enhance returns. However, company-specific issues negatively affected a number of health care holdings, detracting from relative performance. Most notably, drug developer United Therapeutics and contract research firm Covance both reported weaker-than-expected first quarter revenues.The fund also lost ground against the Index by failing to invest in pharmaceutical maker Forest Laboratories, a benchmark component that rose sharply when it was acquired at a premium. However, these disappointments were partly offset by better results from managed care provider Health Net.

Several holdings in other sectors further undermined the fund’s relative performance. A few energy investments, such as refiner Marathon Petroleum, underperformed the benchmark due to concerns of lower margins if the U.S. allows crude oil to be exported internationally. In the information technology sector, strong returns from digital storage giant SanDisk were undercut by declines in other holdings, including NeuStar, Class A, CA, Inc., and NetApp, Inc., all of which reported earnings misses.

On a more positive note, the fund outpaced its benchmark in the consumer staples sector, led by robust gains in packaged foods producer Hillshire Brands, which was acquired after a bidding war by two competitors. Other strong performing consumer staples holdings included specialty coffee company Keurig Green Mountain and supermarket chain Kroger. In the utilities sector, electric company Edison International rose after reporting better-than-expected earnings and effective cost reduction efforts, while another electric utility, Louisiana-based Cleco, found several potential buyers when the company offered itself for sale.

Maintaining Our Disciplined Strategy

The fund remains fully committed to its highly disciplined investment approach of using bottom-up analysis to identify attractive investment opportunities on a company by company basis. Our strategy depends on buying stocks that are highly ranked by our security selection process and selling those that are poorly ranked. By continuing to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio, we believe the fund is positioned to capture the midcap market’s potential for capital appreciation and to outperform the fund’s benchmark over the long term.

Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer, and investment style risks, among
other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus.
Stocks of midcap companies often experience sharper price fluctuations than stocks of large-cap companies.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the

maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed

on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. 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.

2 SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions.

The Russell Midcap Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged index of medium-cap stock market performance. Investors

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Active MidCap Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Strategic Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering nine series, including the fund.The fund’s investment objective seeks to maximize capital appreciation. 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. The fund is authorized to issue 70 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers three classes of shares: Class A (40 million shares authorized), Class C (15 million shares authorized) and Class I (15 million shares authorized). Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to 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 Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is 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 of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. 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 Company 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: 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 Fund 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

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. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 American Depository Receipts and financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Certain factors may be

considered when fair valuing investments 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.These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the fund’s investments:


		Level 2—Other	Level 3—
	Level 1—	Significant	Significant
	Unadjusted	Observable	Unobservable
	Quoted Prices	Inputs	Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:

Mutual Funds	19,808,606	—	—	19,808,606

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At June 30, 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(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 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York 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 or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. During the period ended June 30, 2014,The Bank of New York Mellon earned $22,982 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:


Affiliated

Total	14,428,186		104,206,763	98,826,343	19,808,606	4.1

(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 June 30, 2014, 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 ended June 30, 2014, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years

The Fund 25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $83,616,510 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2013. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal year 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows: ordinary income $2,832,694. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $265 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. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .75% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager had contractually agreed, from January 1, 2014 through May 1, 2014, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund, so that the expenses of none of the classes (excluding Rule 12b-1 Distribution

Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceeded 1.00% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $546 during the period ended June 30, 2014.

During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Distributor retained $2,206 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $5 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of its average daily net assets. During the period ended June 30, 2014, Class C shares were charged $16,908 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended June 30, 2014, Class A and Class C shares were charged $566,896 and $5,636, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

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

The Fund 27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund compensates DreyfusTransfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the fund was charged $116,170 for transfer agency services and $8,025 for cash management services.These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. Cash management fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $677.

The fund compensates The Bank of NewYork Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund.These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the fund was charged $21,810 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended June 30, 2014, the fund was charged $4,593 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $295,300, Distribution Plan fees $2,807, Shareholder Services Plan fees $97,588, custodian fees $13,200, Chief Compliance Officer fees $2,209 and transfer agency fees $51,352.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended June 30, 2014, amounted to $195,634,335 and $209,740,111, respectively.

At June 30, 2014, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $89,264,308, consisting of $94,982,463 gross unrealized appreciation and $5,718,155 gross unrealized depreciation.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTE 5—Pending Legal Matters:

The fund and many other entities have been named as defendants in numerous pending litigations as a result of their participation in the leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) of the Tribune Company (“Tribune”).The cases allege that Tribune took on billions of dollars of debt in the LBO to purchase its own stock from shareholders at $34 per share.The LBO was closed in a two-step transaction with shares being repurchased by Tribune in a tender offer in June 2007 (“Step One”) and in a go-private merger in December 2007 (“Step Two”). In 2008, approximately one year after the LBO was concluded,Tribune filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Thereafter, in approximately June 2011, certain Tribune creditors filed dozens of complaints in various courts throughout the country alleging that the payments made to shareholders in the LBO were “fraudulent conveyances” under state and/or federal law, and that the shareholders must return the payments they received for their shares to satisfy the plaintiffs’ unpaid claims.These cases have been consolidated for coordinated pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York titled In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation (S.D.N.Y. Nos. 11-md-2296 and 12-mc-2296 (RJS) (“Tribune MDL”)). On March 27, 2013, the Tribune MDL was reassigned from Judge William H. Pauley to Judge Richard J. Sullivan. No explanation was given for the reassignment.

In addition, there was a case pending in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware brought by the Unsecured Creditors Committee of the Tribune Company that has since been transferred to the Tribune MDL (formerly The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, et al., Bankr. D. Del. Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (KJC)) (“FitzSimons case”).The case was originally filed on November

The Fund 29

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

1, 2010. In a Fourth Amended Complaint filed in November 2012, among other claims, the Creditors Committee sought recovery under the Bankruptcy Code for alleged “fraudulent conveyances” from more than 5,000 Tribune shareholders (“Shareholder Defendants”), including the fund, and a defendants’ class of all shareholders who tendered their Tribune stock in the LBO and received cash in exchange.There were 35 other counts in the Fourth Amended Complaint that did not relate to claims against Shareholder Defendants, but instead were brought against parties directly involved in approval or execution of the LBO buyout. On January 10, 2013, pursuant to the Tribune bankruptcy plan, Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust, became the successor plaintiff to the Creditors Committee in this case.The case is now proceeding as: Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust v. FitzSimons, et al., S.D.N.Y. No. 12-cv-2652 (RJS). On August 1, 2013, the plaintiff filed a Fifth Amended Complaint with the Court. The Fifth Amended Complaint contains more detailed allegations regarding the steps Tribune took in consideration and execution of the LBO, but does not change the legal basis for the claim previously alleged against the Shareholder Defendants.

On November 6, 2012, a motion to dismiss was filed in the Tribune MDL. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on May 23, 2013. On September 23, 2013, Judge Sullivan granted the motion to dismiss on standing grounds, after rejecting defendants’ preemption arguments. By granting the motion, Judge Sullivan dismissed nearly 50 cases in the Tribune MDL, including all cases with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas or William A. Niese as the lead plaintiff.The fund was a defendant in at least one of the dismissed cases.The motion had no effect on the FitzSimons case, which had been stayed.

On September 30, 2013, plaintiffs appealed the motion to dismiss decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On October 28, 2013, certain defendants cross-appealed from Judge Sullivan’s decision, seeking review of the arguments that Judge Sullivan rejected in

his decision. Briefing on the appeal and cross appeal was completed in April 2014. Oral argument before the Second Circuit is scheduled for November 5, 2014.

On November 11, 2013, Judge Sullivan entered Master Case Order No. 4 in the Tribune MDL. Master Case Order No. 4 addressed numerous procedural and administrative tasks for the cases that remain in the Tribune MDL, including the FitzSimons case. Pursuant to Master Case Order No. 4, the parties – through their executive committees and liaison counsel – attempted to negotiate a protocol for motions to dismiss and other procedural issues, and submitted rival proposals to the Court. On April 24, 2014, the Court entered an order setting a schedule for the first motions to dismiss in the FitzSimons case. Pursuant to that schedule, a “global” motion to dismiss the fraudulent transfer claim asserted against the Shareholder Defendants, which applies equally to all Shareholder Defendants including the fund, was filed on May 23, 2014. Plaintiff’s reponse brief was filed on June 23, 2014, and the reply brief was filed on July 3, 2014. No date for oral argument has been scheduled.The Court also preserved Shareholder Defendants’ rights to file nineteen motions to dismiss enumerated in their proposal and motions pursuant to Rules 12(b)(2)-(5) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If these various motions are necessary after the Court decides the global motion to dismiss, the Court will set further guidelines and briefing schedules.

As of July 31, 2014, no answers to the Fifth Amended Complaint in the FitzSimons case may be filed.

At this stage in the proceedings, it is not possible to assess with any reasonable certainty the probable outcomes of the pending litigations. Consequently, at this time, management is unable to estimate the possible loss that may result.
