(b) The information provided is in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), which requires the Fund to treat
amounts accrued by the Fund under swap agreements as net realized
gain (loss). However, these amounts are treated as net income
(loss) for federal income tax purposes. By using GAAP, Net
Investment Income for the fiscal quarter and year ended October
31, 2005 was, respectively, $1,084,614 ($0.03 per common share)
and $10,148,402 ($0.28 per common share) lower (and the Net
Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) correspondingly
higher) than those figures would be if the swap amounts were
treated as net income (loss) in accordance with federal income
tax treatment.
(c) Calculated using the month-end balances for the three months
ended October 31, 2005. Please note that generally there is a
close correlation between what the Fund earns (net of expenses)
and what it pays in monthly dividends. However, since net earning
rates fluctuate from month to month while monthly dividends have
remained relatively stable, there will be periods when the Fund
may modestly over-earn or under-earn its monthly dividend, which
would 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 current dividend
rate or the undistributed net investment income balance will
remain constant. Inclusive of amounts accrued under swap
agreements, in accordance with federal income tax treatment.
