SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(1)The market values for securities are determined as follows: Equity
   securities traded on a national securities exchange or traded
   over-the-counter and quoted on the NASDAQ System are valued at last sales
   prices. Fixed income securities and any other securities for which it is
   determined that market prices are unavailable or inappropriate are valued at
   a fair value using a procedure determined in good faith by the Board of
   Directors which includes the use of a pricing service. Each money market
   instrument having a maturity of 60 days or less is valued on an amortized
   cost basis, which approximates market value.

(2)At December 31, 2003, the Fund's most recent fiscal tax year end, based on a
   tax cost of investments of $2,712,873,413, the Fund had gross unrealized
   appreciation of $253,248,708 and unrealized depreciation of $92,979,901.
