classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, which shall be designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The current term of the Class III Director expires this year. The current terms of the Class I and Class II Directors will expire in 2007
and 2008, respectively, when their respective successors are elected and qualify. The effect of these staggered terms is to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund by delaying for up to two years the replacement
of a majority of the Board of Directors. Brent R. Harris, the current Class III Director, has tendered his resignation, effective March 23, 2006. At a meeting held on March 23, 2006, the Board accepted Mr. Harris&#146;s resignation, and appointed R.
Wesley Burns as Director and Chairman of the Board, and nominated Mr. Burns for election as Class III Director. Mr. Burns (the &#147;Nominee&#148;) has indicated his willingness to serve as a Director. The Board knows of no reason why the Nominee
would be unable to serve, but in the event of any such unavailability, the proxies received will be voted for such substituted nominee as the Board may recommend. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

The Committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with Fund management and its independent registered public accounting firm, and discussed certain matters with its independent registered public accounting firm addressed
by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Oversight Committee recommended to the Board that the Fund&#146;s audited financial statements be included in the Fund&#146;s annual report for the fiscal year ended

filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, the Central District of California and the Districts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Ten of those lawsuits concern &#147;market timing,&#148; and they have been transferred to and
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; four of those lawsuits concern &#147;revenue sharing&#148; and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions
on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market
timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in &#147;market timing&#148; in certain of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to
tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class actions plaintiffs, PIMCO, the Trustees of the PIMCO Funds, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing
actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds themselves against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of
Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds&#146; motion to dismiss claims asserted against them in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of
Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote the PIMCO Funds and Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully
disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005 the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants&#146; motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on
the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees
paid under those contracts and restitution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On April 11, 2005,

were to result in a court injunction against AGI, PEA, AGID and/or their affiliates, PIMCO could, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser, and AGID could be barred from serving as
principal underwriter, to any registered investment company, including the Portfolio. In connection with an inquiry from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a), PEA, AGID, AGI and certain of their affiliates
(including PIMCO) (together, the &#147;Applicants&#148;) have sought exemptive relief from the SEC under Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act. The SEC has granted the Applicants a temporary exemption from the provisions of Section 9(a) with respect to the
New Jersey Settlement until the earlier of (i) September 13, 2006 and (ii) the date on which the SEC takes final action on their application for a permanent order. There is no assurance that the SEC will issue a permanent order. </FONT></P> <P

in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in
10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant to the consolidated
action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint (and any consolidated complaint filed hereafter) is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
