Reporting Compliance. </B>Section&nbsp;16(a) of the 1934 Act requires the Fund&#146;s officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund&#146;s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;). Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all Section&nbsp;16(a) forms they file. Based solely on
a review of the copies of Section&nbsp;16(a) forms furnished to the Fund, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Fund believes that during the most recent fiscal year all Section&nbsp;16(a) filing requirements applicable to
its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except that two newly appointed directors of the Adviser (Nancy G. Curtiss and J. Steven Neamtz) were late in filing their Form 3 statements with respect to the Fund.
All such forms have now been filed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Report of the Audit Committee. </B>The board of directors of the Fund has adopted a written charter

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>)</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is
required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor&#146;s independence from the Fund. To implement these provisions of the Act, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the Audit Committee&#146;s administration of the engagement of the independent
auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (this &#147;Policy&#148;), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the
independent auditor may be pre-approved. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The SEC&#146;s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC
considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (&#147;general pre-approval&#148;); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit
Committee (&#147;specific pre-approval&#148;). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor.
As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved
cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For both types of pre-approval, the Audit
Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient
service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Fund&#146;s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Fund&#146;s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit
quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as &#147;audit services&#148;; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking

provided by the auditor, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the independence of the auditor, and that are consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will not permit the
retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal
