ITEM 4.01. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         (a)(1) Previous independent accountants

                (i)    On January 29, 2007, KPMG LLP was notified by the
                       Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Fund that it had
                       been dismissed as principal accountants for the Fund.


                (ii)   KPMG LLP's reports on the Fund's financial statements for
                       the fiscal years ended August 31, 2006 and August 31,
                       2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
                       of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as
                       to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

                (iii)  The decision to change accountants was recommended and
                       approved by the audit committee of the Fund's board of
                       directors.

                (iv)   During the Fund's two fiscal years ended August 31, 2006
                       and for the period September 1, 2006 through January 29,
                       2007, there were no (i) disagreements with KPMG LLP on
                       any matter of accounting principles or practices,
                       financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
                       procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
                       satisfaction of KPMG LLP, would have caused KPMG LLP to
                       make reference in connection with their opinion to the
                       subject matter of the disagreement; or (ii) reportable
                       events.

                (v)    The Fund has requested that KPMG furnish it with a letter
                       addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees
                       with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed
                       as an exhibit to this form 8-K.

         (2) New Independent Accountants

     On April 23, 2007, the Fund's board of directors voted to engage Tait,
Weller & Baker LLP, to audit its financial statements for the year ended August
31, 2007. The Fund has not consulted Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, during the two
most recent fiscal years regarding the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that was rendered on the Fund's financial statements, and written
reports and no oral advice was provided to the Fund by concluding there was an
important factor to be considered by the Fund in reaching a decision as to an
accounting, auditing or financial issue. In the past two years the Fund has not
consulted Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, on any matter that was either the subject of
a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K
and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable
event, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS, ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

         (b) On April 23, 2007, Shao-Yu Wang and Blair Pickerell resigned as
Directors of the Fund.
