LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2005, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower economic growth and declining housing prices in the United States recently have raised economic concerns among both U.S. and international investors, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely. Stimulative monetary policies among many central banks over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide, which should continue to support global economic growth. Indeed, most nations’ monetary policies have so far tightened only from stimulative to neutral, leaving room for further expansion.

The international equity markets seem to concur with our view that global economic conditions remain sound, as evidenced by higher stock prices over the past 12 months across most geographic regions and market capitalizations. However, investors anticipating more subdued profit growth in a slower-growth economy recently have begun to favor high-quality, multinational companies and other businesses with the ability to sustain profitability in a variety of economic environments. This pattern is consistent with previous mid-cycle slowdowns. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager
Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser

How did Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund produced total returns of 18.16% for Class A shares, 17.16% for Class B shares, 17.30% for Class C shares, 18.35% for Class R shares and 17.90% for Class T shares.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCI World Index”), provided a 21.32% total return for the same period.2

Market rallies toward the beginning and end of the reporting period enabled the global stock market to post attractive returns overall. Although the fund participated to a substantial degree in the market’s overall strength, its relative performance was hindered early in the reporting period by its emphasis on large-cap, multinational companies.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund invests primarily in large, well-established, multinational companies that we believe are well-positioned to weather difficult economic climates and thrive during favorable times.We focus on purchasing large-cap,“blue-chip” stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals.The result is a portfolio of stocks of prominent companies selected for their sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence and above-average earnings growth potential.The fund pursues a “buy-and-hold” investment strategy in which we typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help to reduce investors’ tax liabilities and the fund’s trading costs.3

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Generally strong global economic conditions and robust corporate earnings created a favorable environment for most stocks. However, the MSCI World Index’s strength was concentrated mainly in rallies during

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

the first two and final four months of the reporting period, and the market produced milder returns during the intervening six months.

The market rally in the closing months of 2005 was led by lower-quality, small-cap companies, which investors continued to favor in an environment of robust global economic growth. In contrast, the market’s gains during the summer and early fall of 2006 were driven by the type of large, high-quality multinational companies in which the fund primarily invests. Signs of intensifying inflationary pressures and slower economic growth in the United States during the spring and summer of 2006 caused many global investors to become less tolerant of risks, and they began to turn their attention toward companies that have demonstrated an ability to produce consistent earnings under a variety of economic conditions.

The fund achieved particularly attractive results among consumer discretionary companies. Publisher McGraw-Hill Cos. exceeded analysts’ earnings expectations due to strength in its education and financial publishing divisions. Luxury purveyor Christian Dior benefited from high levels of demand from affluent customers. Casual restaurant leader McDonalds advanced after the company slowed its domestic expansion and consumers reacted favorably to new, healthier menu items. Media conglomerate News Corp. gained value due to improved advertising sales in its cable and broadcasting networks and the possible resolution of disagreements with a large shareholder.

The fund’s health care companies also fared well. Large pharmaceutical stocks generally rebounded from earlier weakness after addressing product safety and development concerns, helping to boost the stock prices of holdings such as Pfizer, Eli Lilly & Co. and Roche Holdings.

On the other hand, the fund’s relative performance was undermined by lackluster results in the consumer staples area, where the fund maintained an overweighted position. The stocks of pharmacy chain Walgreens, retailing giant Wal-Mart and beverage maker PepsiCo achieved modest gains, but they failed to keep pace with the market averages. Likewise, in the industrials area, modestly positive results from

shares of shipper United Parcel Service and diversified conglomerate General Electric prevented the sector from matching the S&P 500 Index’s overall return for the reporting period. Finally, competitive pressures weighed on semiconductor manufacturer Intel, hindering returns from the technology sector.

In keeping with our buy-and-hold investment approach, we made few changes to the fund’s portfolio during the reporting period.We eliminated the fund’s position in beer maker Anheuser Busch and we sold media giant Time Warner.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

A cooling housing market and more moderate employment gains suggest to us that investors are likely to remain relatively risk averse as concerns persist that a slower U.S. economy could dampen global growth. At the same time, stocks of large, multinational companies remain undervalued compared to historical norms, and their dividend yields are relatively high. Accordingly, we believe that investors may continue to favor larger businesses with track records of consistent earnings, including many of the companies in which the fund invests.

1    Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into 
    consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the 
    applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and 
    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.

    capital gain distributions.The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an 
    unmanaged index of global stock market performance, including the United States, Canada, 
    Europe,Australia, New Zealand and the Far East. 
3    Achieving tax efficiency is not a part of the fund’s investment objective, and there can be no 
    guarantee that the fund will achieve any particular level of taxable distributions in future years. In 
    periods when the manager has to sell significant amounts of securities (e.g., during periods of 
    significant net redemptions or changes in index components) funds can be expected to be less tax 
    efficient than during periods of more stable market conditions and asset flows.

of Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. on 10/31/96 to a $10,000 investment made in the Morgan Stanley 
Capital International World Index (the “Index”) on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. 
Performance for Class T shares will vary from the performance of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares shown 
above due to differences in charges and expenses. 
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares 
and all other applicable fees and expenses.The Index is an unmanaged index of global stock market performance,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Worldwide 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 investors with long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim”) serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser. Dreyfus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years.Class C shares are subject to a CDSC on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase and Class R shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class 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.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value (“NAV”) without payment of a sales charge:

• By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund,

The Fund 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

including the fund, or a Founders Asset Managed LLC (“Founders”) managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Distributor.

• With the cash proceeds from an investor’s exercise of employment-related stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indirectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor’s spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.

• By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A and Class T shares of the fund may be purchased at NAV without payment of a sales charge:

• For Dreyfus-sponsored IRA “Rollover Accounts” with the distribution proceeds from qualified and non-qualified retirement plans or a Dreyfus-sponsored 403(b)(7) plan, provided that, in the case of a qualified or non-qualified retirement plan, the rollover is processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing rollovers. Upon establishing the Dreyfus-sponsored IRA rollover account in the fund, the shareholder becomes eligible to make subsequent purchases of Class A or Class T shares of the fund at NAV in such account.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

22

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. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their NAV. 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 NAV, 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 ADR’s 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. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

The Fund 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss 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 an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

24

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

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, 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 gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) 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.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

At October 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $4,815,452, accumulated capital losses $76,445,598 and unrealized appreciation $333,656,288.

The Fund 25

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the fund’s Investment Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services, and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim & Co.”), with respect to the fund, pursuant to which Sarofim & Co. provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments subject to the Manager’s oversight. 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 and Sarofim & Co.

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, and by Sarofim & Co. pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory 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 Manager’s representatives noted the distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among 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 Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members also considered Sarofim & Co.’s research and portfolio management capabilities.The Board members considered 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, and the Manager’s extensive administrative,

accounting and compliance infrastructure, as well as the Manager’s supervisory activities over Sarofim & Co.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail, front-end load, global large-cap core, value and growth funds (the “Performance Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional global large-cap core funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data. The Board noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons and noted that the fund achieved a range of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th quintile rankings (the first quintile being the highest performance) among its Performance Group and Performance Universe on a total return basis for the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-and 10-year time periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board members discussed with representatives of the Manager and Sarofim & Co. the investment strategy employed in the management of the fund’s assets and how that strategy affected the fund’s relative performance, particularly during periods when the fund had 4th or 5th quintile rankings.A representative of the Manager noted that high quality, mega-cap stocks had been out of favor for a long period of time but recently appear to have come back into favor.The Board members noted that Sarofim & Co. is an experienced Manager with a long-term “buy-and-hold” investment approach to investing in high quality companies that are predominantly “mega-cap” companies. Sarofim & Co.’s considerable reputation, based on following this investment approach, was noted. Dreyfus also provided the Board with the fund’s total return performance and the quartile, percentile and rank (as provided by Lipper) of the fund’s total return within its Lipper category (as provided by Lipper) for the three-month and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2006.The Board noted that the fund’s total return performance was in Lipper’s first and second quartile (the first quartile being the best performance), respectively, for those periods.

32

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 (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”) each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were in the first or second quintile (the first quintile reflecting the lowest fees and expense ratio) among its Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, and included in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”), and by other accounts managed by the Manager, Sarofim & Co. or their respective affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund (collectively with the Similar Funds, the “Similar Accounts”).The Manager’s representatives explained the nature of the Similar Accounts and the differences, from the Manager’s and Sarofim & Co.’s perspective, as applicable, in providing services to such Similar Accounts as compared to managing and providing services to the fund.The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries.The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager or Sarofim & Co. and discussed the relationship of the fees paid in light of the Manager’s or Sarofim & Co.’s performance and the services provided, noting the fund’s “unitary fee” structure.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Accounts managed by the Manager and Sarofim & Co. to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee and sub-investment advisory fee.The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Accounts seemed to be consistent with the services provided.

The Board considered the fee to Sarofim & Co. in relation to the fee paid to the Manager and the respective services provided by Sarofim & Co. and the Manager.The Board also noted that Sarofim & Co.’s fee is paid by the Manager and not the fund.

The Fund 33

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

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 members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the recent 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 shareholders. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager and Sarofim & Co. from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and reviewed the soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.

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 fees under the Management Agreement bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Since the Manager, and not the fund, pays Sarofim & Co. pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider Sarofim & Co.’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. The Board members also discussed the profitability percentages determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies.They also noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the services rendered and generally superior service levels provided by the Manager.

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 fund’s Management Agreement and Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

34

• The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Manager and Sarofim & Co. are adequate and appropriate.

• The Board noted that the fund’s recent short-term performance had improved, but remained concerned with the fund’s longer-term performance. However, the Board understood that the fund’s performance was consistent with Sarofim & Co.’s investment approach during all periods, which involves investments in high quality mega-cap companies, and that, for a period of time, such companies have been out of favor but appear to have come back into favor recently. While management assured the Board members that portfolio management had been consistent with the strategy description in fund materials and Sarofim & Co.’s stated investment style, the Board determined to continue to closely monitor performance.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid by the fund to the Manager and by the Manager to Sarofim & Co., were reasonable in light of the considerations described above.

• The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management 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 to be determined that material 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 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 fund’s Management Agreement and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between the Manager and Sarofim & Co. was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $-0- in 2005 and $-0- in 2006.

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for non-audit assurance and related services by the Auditor to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-investment adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant ("Service Affiliates"), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Service Affiliate, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $-0- in 2005 and $-0- in 2006.
