(b) Since the Funds' net earning rates fluctuate from month to month,
there will be periods when the Funds may over-earn or under-earn their
monthly dividend rates. This fluctuation will have the effect of adding
to or subtracting from the Funds' undistributed net investment income
balances. Funds management analyzes the current and projected net
earning rates prior to recommending dividend amounts to the Funds' Board
of Trustees for declaration. There can be no assurance that the monthly
dividend rates will remain at their current levels or that the
undistributed net investment income balances will be sufficient to cover
any shortfall in earnings to meet the current dividend rates.
