Dear Fellow Shareholders:

The Fund Gets a New Name But Keeps Its Objectives and Strategy--The Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted a new rule under which a fund whose
name suggests investment in a certain industry must adopt a policy to invest at
least 80% of the value of its assets in that particular industry. While your
Fund currently has over 80% of its assets invested in companies in the public
utilities industry, historically the Fund's investment policy has only required
65% of the Fund's assets to be invested in the utilities industry. Your Fund's
Board of Directors believes that it would not be in the best interest of Fund
shareholders to change investment policy at this time. Instead, the Board has
decided to change the name of the Fund to "DNP Select Income Fund Inc." This
new name will enable the Fund to maintain its existing investment allocation
policy both inside and outside the utilities industry and thereby preserve its
current flexibility to pursue the primary objectives of current income and
long-term growth of income.

For those shareholders who hold physical stock certificates, there is no need
to exchange them for ones with the new Fund name. If a shareholder wants to
submit their existing certificates and receive new ones, there is no charge.

The Fund Receives a Lipper Long-Term Performance Achievement
Certificate--Lipper, a global leader in providing mutual fund analysis and
information, awards Performance Achievement Certificates to funds with returns
that topped their Lipper investment category over a variety of time periods. We
are pleased to report that your Fund received an award for the five-year period
ending December 31, 2001. The Fund ranks number one in the Lipper closed-end
Equity Income & Preferred Stock Funds classification for that period.

Performance Review--Your Fund had a total return (market price change plus
income) of 3.9% for the first quarter of 2002. In comparison, the S&P Utilities
Index had a total return of 3.4%, and a composite of the S&P Utilities Index
and the Lehman Utility Bond Index, reflecting the stock and bond ratio of the
Fund, had a total return of 2.6%.

During the first quarter of 2002, your Fund paid three monthly 6.5 cent
dividends. The 6.5 cent per share monthly rate, without compounding, would be
78 cents annualized, or a 6.91% common stock dividend yield based on the March
28, 2002 closing price of $11.28 per share. That yield compares favorably with
the quarter-end yield of 3.9% on the Dow Jones Utility Index and the 3.5% yield
on the S&P Utilities Index.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders--The annual meeting of shareholders was held on
April 23, 2002 in Naples, Florida. Nathan Partain, the Fund's President and
Chief Executive Officer, addressed shareholders in regard to the investment
environment and outlook. Below are selected comments from his address:

   "If the past several years of relatively rapid evolution in the utility
   industries have taught investors anything, it is that fundamental analysis
   remains not only relevant but also essential to finding quality investments.
   Your Fund's investment management team continues to pursue basic fundamental
   research to find the best investments to achieve our primary objective for
   you, our shareholders. What does fundamental research mean? It means that we
   have a dedicated group of ten investment professionals who like to read
   financial reports and dig through the financial footnotes. We get on planes
   and go all over the United States and the world to look at power plants and
   distribution systems, and we climb down ladders to look at telecom switches,
   optical equipment, and gas pipelines. We meet with management and ask tough
   questions. If we do not get good answers to our questions then we do not
   invest in those companies. Our team of

                                      1



   professionals does this day-in and day-out, year-in and year-out, and
   believes it is the only way to find quality investments for the Fund.

   The utility industries are capital intensive. They always have been and, I
   feel safe in saying, always will be. Hence, the relatively high level of
   debt associated with these industries requires a valuation approach to fully
   reflect the capital invested and financing costs. Asset, revenue, and
   pro-forma financial metrics were widely used to justify the valuation of
   many companies in the recent bull market, but subsequently let investors
   down. Those measures did not capture the differences between corporations in
   terms of capital deployed, profitability, effective tax rates, or financing
   costs.

   A comment on Enron Corp. fits naturally into the consideration of
   fundamental research and bull market valuations, although there is not much
   to say that has not already been reported in the media. Enron was a trading
   company that had its roots in the energy industry but never wanted to be
   associated with the traditional utility industry. Enron tried for
   astronomical returns and blew up in the process. However, your Fund's
   investment professionals had already determined that Enron's financial
   statements did not stand up to close fundamental analysis and, therefore,
   your Fund no longer owned any stock in Enron when it collapsed.

   The telecommunications investment environment during 2001 suffered a
   continuous flow of bad news--everything from bankruptcies to weak demand as
   a result of the recession. Because of the high quality nature of your Fund,
   the telecom stocks in your portfolio performed relatively well compared to
   the rest of the industry. Can we expect a recovery in 2002? Let's look at
   the key industry trends.

   First, there is a back-to-basics mentality evident among corporate
   managements. After a few years of investment without concern for earning a
   reasonable return, an almost singular focus on the successful execution of a
   core telecommunications business strategy has surfaced among corporate
   managements. Since consumer and business demand is still muted and the
   industry tends to lag an economic recovery by six months, running the
   current operations as efficiently as possible is management's first priority
   in order to weather the industry's storm.

   Second, we do not believe the industry shakeout is over. Several companies
   entered bankruptcy last year and a couple of former stars have already
   fallen in 2002. However painful this trend may be, it is entirely necessary
   in order for the industry to return to health. As competitors fail, the
   pricing environment improves, excess capacity is worked off, and returns on
   invested capital should begin to increase for the survivors. Consolidation
   will also eventually play a part in improving the industry structure, but it
   is unlikely to occur this year. Low stock prices and focus on the core
   business has discouraged the strong companies from entering into a lengthy
   merger process.

   Finally, we would highlight the continuation of a trend that came to the
   forefront last year--the importance of financial strength and flexibility.
   Given the Enron debacle, this issue has taken on even greater meaning. A
   combination of lower capital spending and anticipated non-core business
   asset sales should lower corporate debt levels and increase corporate
   financial strength by the end of 2002. We believe greater financial strength
   could be a catalyst for improved stock performance. Your Fund's
   telecommunication holdings are in financially strong, incumbent local
   companies and, at least for the near term, industry trends justify continued
   investor caution.

   I remain confident that despite a changing investment landscape, your Fund's
   investment management team and its fundamental research approach to
   selecting investments will continue to meet the primary objectives of the
   Fund--current income and growth in current income."

                                      2



Also at the annual shareholder meeting, the five nominees for director were
elected. Three of the five directors are continuing their service to the
Fund--Claire V. Hansen, Wallace B. Behnke, and Gordon B. Davidson. The other
two directors are new to the Board - Connie K. Duckworth and Carl F. Pollard.
Ms. Duckworth is a Partner with Eight Wings Enterprises (investor in early
stage businesses) and until recently served as Advisory and Managing Partner
with Goldman, Sachs & Company. Mr. Pollard is Owner of Hermitage Farm LLC and
Chairman of Churchill Downs Incorporated and has served as Chairman of Columbia
Healthcare Corporation, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Galen Health
Care, Inc, and President and Chief Operating Officer of Humana Inc.

The shareholders also ratified the selection of Arthur Andersen LLP as
independent public accountants for the Fund. Andersen has served as independent
public accountants for the Fund since the Fund commenced operations in 1987. At
the annual meeting, shareholders were informed that, as a matter of business
prudence, the Audit Committee of the Board initiated a process to identify an
independent public accounting firm that could be appointed to replace Andersen
in the event that Andersen becomes unable to continue service to the Fund.

Board of Directors Meeting--At the regular April Board of Directors' meeting,
the Board declared the following monthly dividend:

(1)The market values for securities are determined as follows: Securities
   traded on a national securities exchange or traded over-the-counter and
   quoted on the NASDAQ System are valued at last sales prices. Securities so
   traded for which there were no sales and other securities are valued at the
   mean of the most recent bid-asked quotations. Bonds not traded on a
   securities exchange nor quoted on the NASDAQ System are valued at 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. Other
   assets and securities are valued at a fair value, as determined in good
   faith by the Board of Directors.
