Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Performance Review--Your Fund had a total return (market price change plus
income) of 0.1% for the third quarter of 2002. In comparison, the S&P Utilities
Index had a total return of -22.3%, 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 -16.4%. The Fund's comparable total returns for the
year-to-date period are -4.4%, -33.1%, and -24.8% respectively.

During the third 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 7.82% common stock dividend yield based on the
September 30, 2002, closing price of $9.97 per share. That yield compares
favorably with the quarter-end yields of 6.00% on the Dow Jones Utility Index
and 5.66% on the S&P Utilities Index.

Most stock investors, whether in utilities or in equities generally, have
suffered significant market volatility and negative returns for the first three
quarters of this year. As shareholders of this Fund, you have enjoyed
significantly better results than any popular broad index, but have experienced
volatility. A review of factors contributing to the general market malaise, and
factors specific to the utility industries, may give perspective on how we
arrived at this situation and where we might be headed.

Looking Back: The nine years of economic growth that began in 1991 were the
longest period of expansion in U.S. history. The domestic economy grew over 4%
annually during the last several years of the expansion cycle, and unemployment
was low. A large U.S. trade deficit meant that American demand was creating
prosperity abroad, and even in long-suffering Japan, the government was
claiming that the worst was over and recovery was on the way.

The stock market enjoyed historically high total returns for the decade of the
1990's. Corporate high-tech investments, particularly in computers and
communications, were changing the face of business - increasing productivity
and elevating growth and income expectations. The rising stock market reflected
these expectations, which in turn encouraged consumers to spend. Business
investment surged with easily available financing from the stock and bond
markets.

The stock markets began discounting a coming slowdown early in 2000. However,
it was not until late in 2001 that the business cycle dating committee--a panel
of senior economists at the National Bureau of Economic Research--determined
that the U.S. economy had, in fact, entered recession in March 2001. What many
investors first hoped would be a small correction in the stock markets became
one of the worst bear markets on record. What happened?

Over the course of the previous decade, the growth in productive capacity for
many types of consumer durable goods and business capital equipment had
outpaced the demand for the output of the new capacity. Further, such factors
as a rise in the cost of energy beginning late in 2000, emerging economic
weakness on the part of our major international trading partners, and the
terrorist attacks in New York City in September 2001 reduced consumer
purchasing power and confidence. A cycle of lower consumption and production
became self-fulfilling, and in some sectors business inventory liquidation
occurred. As it became clearer that economic growth and corporate profitability
forecasts were persistently optimistic, investors reduced commitments to stocks
and corporate bonds and prices fell.

Cyclical revaluation of investments based on business conditions is not
uncommon, and typically affects all industries simultaneously to one degree or
another. As we have discussed in previous shareholder letters, the utility
industries in which your Fund invests have been affected by sector-specific
factors in addition to factors affecting the general market.



For the electric utilities, a mild 2001 summer cooling and fall heating season
coupled with the economic downturn reduced demand for electricity. As demand
was weakening, the industry was also experiencing a very large increase in
generation capacity, which was motivated by projected growth in electricity
demand, facilitated by federal and state deregulation schemes, and financed by
exuberant stock and bond markets. As it turned out however, the current
electricity needs were lower than projected, the regulatory schemes were
flawed, and the capital markets lost their exuberance.

The telecommunication industry has also experienced weak demand as a result of
the recession and the ongoing effects of deregulation. New competitors have
entered the field and old competitors have crossed into each other's turf. The
resulting heightened competition has depressed prices -- a boon to consumers
but a bane to stockholders. Moreover, technological developments had spurred
many companies to invest in new infrastructure to accommodate what is now
acknowledged to have been an overly optimistic forecast in near-term demand for
high-speed data transfer and wireless services.

Looking Forward: From a macroeconomic perspective, the recovery from recession
has not yet gained solid momentum. After a growth spurt during the first
quarter this year, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has continued to experience
positive growth but at a slower, choppy pace. Data also indicate that although
the labor market is stabilizing with fewer layoffs, new hiring and job creation
is lackluster. The economic recovery will have limited upside without a
stronger job market, which in turn supports consumer spending and investor
confidence.

Still, the resilience of the American consumer has been a key factor in the
relative shallowness of the recession. High-productivity growth has boosted
inflation-adjusted wages and income during this period and, coupled with low
interest rates, has made it easier for consumers to afford big-ticket
purchases, such as autos, houses and furniture. Business capital investment is
likely to follow consumer spending and improve gradually, allowing companies to
profit from the productivity of new technology.

The risk of war with Iraq remains a wildcard for the economy. Oil prices have
risen steadily during the past few months, reflecting fear that war will
disrupt world oil flows. If a war were limited as to theater and duration, any
further price rises likely would be moderate and, with less uncertainty, prices
might decline in the intermediate term. Most alternative scenarios involve more
uncertainty and risk.

During this prolonged period of economic weakness and uncertainty, the Federal
Reserve has acted to support demand and lay the groundwork for growth by
aggressively easing monetary policy. On November 6, 2002, the Fed lowered the
federal funds rate to 11/4%--a forty-year low. We believe that accommodative
monetary policy, increased federal spending, and likely continued tax
initiatives will nurture the economy's growth rate in 2003.

While improving economic fundamentals enhance the outlook for the utility
industry, the industry still needs to work its way through the competitive
environment and its unexpected side effects. For some companies the remedies
could be a combination of asset sales, delays in capital spending, debt
repayment, and equity issuance, or possibly merger or even failure. Many
companies are returning to their core competencies, restructuring their balance
sheets and exiting unprofitable businesses. For some other companies,
particularly those with management that has guided them successfully through
difficult times, this can be a period of opportunity to purchase good assets at
attractive prices.

Supportive regulation and management capacity to handle regulatory risk are
possibly the most important factors that will affect the health of utility
companies going forward, because the consequences of decisions made in this
arena will have the longest-term and most direct impact on companies, their
employees, and the value of their stocks. Unfortunately, regulation continues
to evolve in ways that can be difficult to divine.

                                      2



American investors are still recovering from a crisis in confidence in
corporate governance and financial reporting triggered by the bankruptcy of
Enron Corp. following major restatements of historical earnings. A series of
subsequent revelations by other public companies of failures in their corporate
governance, financial reporting and independent audit systems has severely
shaken the U.S. capital markets. The utilities industry has been particularly
affected because of the major role Enron played in the energy markets. In July
2000, Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to address various structural
weaknesses in the reporting and control systems of public companies. We hope
that the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley reforms will restore investor
confidence in the integrity of corporate management and the accuracy of
financial statements.

Your Fund management believes that the stage is being set for a recovery in the
valuation of high-quality securities. Seizing opportunities to invest in
quality companies with strong corporate management and dividends while avoiding
less secure investments have been key elements of Fund performance to-date. We
remain diligent in our analysis and in our efforts to maintain a high-quality
portfolio of investments for the Fund.

(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.
