Since the Fund's net earning rates fluctuate from month to month,
there will be periods when the Fund may over-earn or under-earn its
monthly dividend rate. This fluctuation will have the effect of
adding to or subtracting from the Fund's undistributed net
investment income balance. Fund management analyzes the current and
projected net earning rates prior to recommending dividend amounts
to the Fund's Board of Trustees for declaration. There can be no
assurance that the monthly dividend rate will remain at its current
level or that the undistributed net investment income balance will
be sufficient to cover any shortfall in earnings to meet the current
dividend rate. The undistributed net investment income balance is
exclusive of market premium amortization on corporate bonds in
accordance with federal income tax treatment. The undistributed net
investment income balance includes realized gain (loss) on the sale
of contingent debt and Section 305 sales adjustments for accrual of
deemed dividends from investments in convertible debt in accordance
with federal income tax treatment.
(c)
Net Investment Income for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended
November 30, 2016 includes market premium amortization on corporate
bonds of $755,492 ($0.01 per common share) and $2,022,497 ($0.02 per
common share), respectively. Net Investment Income for the fiscal
quarter and nine months ended November 30, 2015 includes market
premium amortization on corporate bonds of $818,181 ($0.01 per
common share) and $2,791,472 ($0.03 per common share), respectively.
For tax purposes, the Fund has elected not to amortize market
premium on corporate bonds.
