Semi-Annual Report
This report provides management's discussion of fund performance for ACM
Managed Dollar Income Fund (the "Fund") for the semi-annual reporting period
ended March 31, 2004.
Investment Objective and Policies
This closed-end fund is designed for investors who seek high current income and
capital appreciation. To achieve this objective, it invests primarily in
high-yielding, U.S. and non-U.S. fixed income securities, denominated in U.S.
dollars, that we expect to benefit from improving economic and credit
fundamentals.
Investment Results
The following table shows how the Fund performed over the past six- and
12-month periods ended March 31, 2004. For comparison, we have included a
composite benchmark consisting of 65% of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond
Index Plus (JPM EMBI+), a standard measure of the performance of a basket of
unmanaged emerging market debt securities, and 35% of the Credit Suisse First
Boston High Yield (CSFBHY) Index, a standard measure of the performance of a
basket of unmanaged U.S. high yield debt securities. We compare the Fund's
performance to this composite benchmark because it more closely resembles the
composition of the Fund's portfolio.

restructured sovereign bonds; a large percentage of the index is made up of
Brady bonds. The unmanaged Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield (CSFBHY) Index
is a measure of lower-rated, fixed income, non-convertible U.S.
dollar-denominated securities meeting certain criteria developed by Credit
Suisse designed to enable the index to reflect the high yield market. Investors
cannot invest directly in an index, and its results are not indicative of any
specific investment, including ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund.
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Fund outperformed its
composite benchmark. During this time, the Fund benefited primarily from its
emerging market debt holdings, individual security selection and its ability to
leverage. The Fund's holdings in Brazil and Turkey, as well as its overweight
position in Ecuador and underweight position in Mexico, contributed positively
to performance. Contributing positively within the Fund's high yield sector was
its overweight position in finance as well as the Fund's security investments
in metals, gaming/leisure, airlines and the health care industries. The Fund
was also aided by avoiding negative credit issues during the period under
review.
Detracting from the Fund's performance during the six-month period ended March
31, 2004 was the Fund's overweight position in Russia, which did not perform as
well as the JPM EMBI+. Also detracting modestly from performance, relative to
the CSFBHY Index, were the Fund's high yield holdings. Media wireless and media
cable securities, as well as the Fund's underweight position in utilities,
which performed well during the period, dampened performance. In addition, the
Fund's underweight position in higher risk CCC high yield holdings, which
outperformed during the period, also detracted from relative performance.
Market Review and Investment Strategy
During the semi-annual reporting period, both emerging market debt and high
yield securities posted strong returns, albeit moderated from the unsustainable
pace of the previous six-month period. High yield corporate securities
continued to benefit from a stronger economy and improving credit fundamentals.
The decline in the ratio of downgrades to upgrades in the past year reflected
the improvement in credit fundamentals. Additionally, yield-seeking investors
in a low-rate environment helped to drive high yield prices higher, despite
strong issuance. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2004, the CSFBHY
Index posted a 8.65% return, as spreads compressed 104 basis points to 495
basis points over comparable duration Treasuries. Furthermore, the lower
quality sectors of the high yield market outperformed the higher quality tiers,
although that trend began to reverse late in the period. Nominal returns in
high yield were stronger in the third quarter of 2003 than the first quarter of
2004 however, as escalating geopolitical tensions and concerns about the
sustainability of the U.S. economic recovery due to a weak job market began to
surface. By industry, finance, metals/minerals, cable, utilities and automotive
outperformed. Underperforming sectors included the airline industry,
telecommunications, wireless communications, broadcasting and the food & drug
sector.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND
The emerging debt market, as measured by the JPM EMBI+, posted a solid 8.71%
return for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004. This market benefited
from ample global liquidity and a low interest rate environment. Additionally,
supply was very limited, while investor demand remained strong. The Latin
countries outpaced non-Latin countries, posting returns of 10.00% versus 6.93%,
respectively. Individual countries outperforming within the emerging market
debt class included Ecuador at 40.05%, Turkey at 16.50%, Venezuela at 14.07%
and Brazil at 12.39%.
Within the high yield sector, as spread dispersion among industries narrowed
during the period under review, our strategy turned more toward specific issuer
selection and diversifying the Fund's holdings across industry sectors. One of
the Fund's largest industry overweight positions continued to be wireless
communications. Within the wireless sector, we were focused on rural providers
with the following characteristics: those that have less competition, those
that are less affected by the implementation of number portability and those
that have improved balance sheets as a result of recent capital-market
transactions. We continued to underweight the utilities industry due to
anticipated low demand growth, forecasted high gas prices and continued
capacity additions. Although some individual utility issuers represented a
substantial weighting in the index, we have taken a conservative approach,
investing only in issues that we believed have good asset protection and
sufficient financial liquidity.
Within the Fund's emerging market debt allocation, we maintained an overweight
position in Russia as credit statistics continued to improve. Russia, which was
recently upgraded by Standard & Poor's (S&P) to BB+ and is rated Baa3 by
Moody's Investors Service, has strong gross domestic product momentum and
little need to issue new debt. The country is also benefiting from high oil
prices and President Putin's appointment of a pro-reform government.
Additionally, we increased the Fund's holdings in Ecuador and Turkey. Ecuador
benefited from higher oil prices and greater output, significant structural
reforms and engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). S&P raised
Turkey's rating to B+ from B during the reporting period, crediting the
government's efforts to comply with targets set by the IMF and its resolve to
implement reforms. As a result, we added to the Fund's position in Turkey. We
also decreased the Fund's holdings in Mexico as a result of stalled growth due
to poor external demand, mainly from the U.S., and loss of competitiveness in
Mexico's manufacturing sector. Lastly, we reduced the Fund's duration exposure
in Brazil due to concerns over fundamentals, inflation worries and Brazil's
Central Bank's possible inability to continue reducing interest rates.
Political scandal and subsequent missteps have caused the Lula administration
to lose much of the political goodwill it had in 2003. In addition, we have
reduced the Fund's leverage and scaled back the interest rate duration of the
Fund due to the prospect of tighter monetary policy in the U.S.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2004 (unaudited)
NOTE A
Significant Accounting Policies
ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Maryland on August 10, 1993 and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, closed-end management
investment company. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which
requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Fund.
1. Security Valuation
In accordance with Pricing Policies adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Fund (the "Pricing Policies") and applicable law, portfolio securities are
valued at current market value or at fair value. The Board of Directors has
delegated to Alliance Capital Management, L.P. (the "Adviser"), subject to the
Board's continuing oversight, certain responsibilities with respect to the
implementation of the Pricing Policies. Pursuant to the Pricing Policies,
securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
their current market value. In general, the market value of these securities is
determined as follows:
Securities listed on a national securities exchange or on a foreign securities
exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange or
foreign securities exchange. If there has been no sale on such day, the
securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such
day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, then the security is
valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with the Pricing Policies.
Securities listed on more than one exchange are valued by reference to the
principal exchange on which the securities are traded; securities not listed on
an exchange but traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") are valued
in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price; listed put or call
options are valued at the last sale price. If there has been no sale on that
day, such securities will be valued at the closing bid prices on that day; open
futures contracts and options thereon are valued using the closing settlement
price or, in the absence of such a price, the most recent quoted bid price. If
there are no quotations available for the day of valuations, the last available
closing settlement price is used; securities traded in the over-the-counter
market, (but excluding securities traded on NASDAQ) are valued at the mean of
the current bid and asked prices as reported by the National Quotation Bureau
or other comparable sources; U.S. Government securities and other debt
instruments having 60 days or less remaining until maturity are valued at
amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing
their fair value as of the 61st day prior to maturity if their original term to
maturity exceeded 60 days; fixed-income securities, including
_______________________________________________________________________________
26 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mortgage backed and asset backed securities, may be valued on the basis of
prices provided by a pricing service or at a price obtained from one or more of
the major broker/dealers. In cases where broker/dealer quotes are obtained, the
Pricing Policies provide that the Adviser may establish procedures whereby
changes in market yields or spreads are used to adjust, on a daily basis, a
recently obtained quoted price on a security; and OTC and other derivatives are
valued on the basis of a quoted bid price or spread from a major broker/dealer
in such security.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value in accordance with the Pricing Policies. The Fund fair values a
security that it holds when a significant event (e.g., an earthquake or a
major terrorist attack) occurs after the time that the latest market quotation
was established, and, as a result, such market quotation cannot be said to
represent the current market value of the security as of the time the Fund
prices its shares. Fair valuing securities is imprecise, and there is no
assurance that the Fund could dispose of the security at the price used for
determining the Fund's net asset value.
2. Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially
all of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.
3. Investment Income and Investment Transactions
Interest income is accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Investment gains and losses are determined on
the identified cost basis. The Fund accretes discounts as adjustments to
interest income. Additionally, the Fund amortizes premiums on debt securities
for financial statement reporting purposes only.
4. Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with
federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To the extent
these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require such reclassification.
5. Repurchase Agreements
The Fund's custodian or designated subcustodian will take control of securities
as collateral under repurchase agreements and determine on a daily basis that
the value of such securities are sufficient to cover the value of the
repurchase agree-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ments. If the seller defaults and the value of collateral declines, or if
bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the
security, realization of collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
NOTE B
Advisory, Administrative Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser
an advisory fee at an annual rate of .75 of 1% of the average adjusted weekly
net assets of the Fund. Such fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.
Under the terms of a Shareholder Inquiry Agency Agreement with Alliance Global
Investor Services, Inc. (AGIS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, the
Fund reimburses AGIS for costs relating to servicing phone inquiries on behalf
of the Fund. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Fund reimbursed to
AGIS $265.
Under the terms of an Administration Agreement, the Fund pays Princeton
Administrators, L.P. (the "Administrator") a fee at an annual rate of .15 of 1%
of the average adjusted weekly net assets of the Fund. Such fee is accrued
daily and paid monthly. The Administrator prepares certain financial and
regulatory reports for the Fund and provides clerical and other services.
NOTE C
Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments)
for the six months ended March 31, 2004, were as follows:
Purchases Sales
============= =============
Investment securities (excluding
U.S. government securities) $ 105,489,923 $ 105,496,524
U.S. government securities -0- -0-
At March 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
Accordingly, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation
(excluding written options and swap contracts) are as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 42,004,342
Gross unrealized depreciation (14,237,366)
-------------
Net unrealized appreciation $ 27,766,976
=============
1. Option Transactions
For hedging and investment purposes, the Fund may purchase and write (sell) put
and call options on U.S. and foreign government securities and foreign
currencies that are traded on U.S. and foreign securities exchanges and
over-the- counter markets.
_______________________________________________________________________________
28 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium
whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk
of loss of the premium and a change in market value should the counterparty not
perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in
the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired
through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The
proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased
by the premiums paid.
When the Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as
a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the
option written. Premiums received from written options which expire unexercised
are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from options
written. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on
effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is
also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium received is less than the
amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call
option is exercised, the premium received is added to the proceeds from the
sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has
realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium received
reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Fund. In
writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in
the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise
of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a
security or currency at a price different from the current market value.
Transactions in written options for the six months ended March 31, 2004 were as
follows:

2. Swap Agreements
The Fund may enter into swaps on sovereign debt obligations to hedge its
exposure to interest rates and credit risk or for investment purposes. A swap
is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows
at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in
specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The
payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being
paid by one party to the other.
_______________________________________________________________________________
ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 29
Notes to Financial Statements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap
contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by
the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment
to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the
contract. Therefore the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each
counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk.
Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or
in the value of the underlying securities.
The Fund records a net receivable or payable on a daily basis for the net
interest income or expense expected to be received or paid in the interest
period. Net interest received or paid on these contracts is recorded as
interest income (or as an offset to interest income). Fluctuations in the value
of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as a component
of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments. Realized
gains and/or losses from terminated swap contracts are included in net realized
gain or loss on investment transactions.
The Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A sell/(buy) in a credit default
swap provides, upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined in the swap
agreement, for the Fund to buy/(sell) from/(to) the counterparty at par and
take/(deliver) the principal amount (the "Notional Amount") of the referenced
obligation. During the term of the swap agreement, the Fund receives/(pays)
semi-annual fixed interest payments from/(to) the respective counterparty,
calculated at the agreed upon interest rate applied to the Notional Amount.
Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in
the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general
market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. If the Fund is a buyer and no
credit event occurs, it will lose its investment. In addition, the value of the
referenced obligation received by the Fund as a seller if a credit event
occurs, coupled with the periodic payments previously received, may be less
than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value
to the Fund.
3. Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities and agrees to
repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. At the time the Fund
enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish a segregated
account with the custodian containing liquid assets having a value at least
equal to the repurchase price.
For the six months ended March 31, 2004, the average amount of reverse
repurchase agreements outstanding was $62,862,826 and the daily weighted
average annual interest rate was 0.9310%.

NOTE D
Capital Stock
There are 300,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock authorized of which
22,625,536 shares were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2004. During the six
months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended September 30, 2003, the Fund
issued 84,915 and 182,814 shares, respectively, in connection with the Fund's
dividend reinvestment plan.
NOTE E
Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the
value of the Fund's investments in fixed-income debt securities such as bonds
or notes. Increases in interest rates may cause the value of the Fund's
investments to decline.
Concentration of Risk
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves
special risks which include the possibility of future political and economic
developments which could adversely affect the value of such securities.
Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and
their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of
comparable U.S. companies and the United States government.
The Fund invests in the Sovereign Debt Obligations of countries that are
considered emerging market countries at the time of purchase. Therefore, the
Fund is susceptible to governmental factors and economic and debt restructuring
developments adversely affecting the economics of these emerging market
countries. In addition, these debt obligations may be less liquid and subject
to greater volatility than debt obligations of more developed countries.
NOTE F
Securities Lending
The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with AG Edwards &
Sons, Inc. (the "Lending Agent"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Lending
Agent, on behalf of the Fund, administers the lending of portfolio securities
to certain broker-dealers. In return, the Fund receives fee income from the
lending transactions or it retains a portion of interest on the investment of
any cash received as collateral. The Fund also continues to receive dividends
or interest on the securities loaned. Unrealized gain or loss on the value of
the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be
reflected in the accounts of the Fund. All loans are continuously secured by
collateral exceeding the value of the securities loaned. All collateral
consists of either cash or U.S. Government securities. The Lending Agent may
invest the cash collateral received in accordance with the investment
restrictions of the Fund in one or
_______________________________________________________________________________
ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 31
Notes to Financial Statements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
more of the following investments: U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
obligations, bank obligations, corporate debt obligations, asset-backed
securities, structured products, repurchase agreements and an eligible money
market fund. The Lending Agent will indemnify the Fund for any loss resulting
from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security when due. As of March 31,
2004, the Fund had loaned securities with a value of $2,006,678 and received
cash collateral of $2,084,190, which was invested in a money market fund as
included in the portfolio of investments. For the six months ended March 31,
2004, the Fund earned fee income of $8,530, which is included in interest
income in the accompanying statement of operations.
NOTE G
Distributions to Shareholders
The tax character of distributions to be paid for the year ended September 30,
2004 will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year. The tax
character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 were as follows:
2003 2002
============= =============
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income $ (18,177,141) $ (18,835,190)
------------- -------------
Total taxable distributions (18,177,141) (18,835,190)
Tax return of capital -0- (730,704)
------------- -------------
Total distributions paid $ (18,177,141) $ (19,565,894)
============= =============
As of September 30, 2003, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a
tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 124,846
Accumulated capital and other losses (146,463,599)(a)
Unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) 23,183,747(b)
-------------
Total accumulated earnings/(deficit) $(123,155,006)
=============
(a) On September 30, 2003, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$146,463,599 of which $57,455,739 expires in the year 2007, $24,635,181 expires
in the year 2008, $10,899,598 expires in the year 2009, $33,249,705 expires in
2010 and $20,223,376 expires in the year 2011. To the extent future capital
gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains will not be
distributed.
(b) The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of
losses on wash sales and the difference between book and tax amortization
methods for premium.

NOTE H
Legal Proceedings
As has been previously reported in the press, the Staff of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the New York Attorney General
("NYAG") have been investigating practices in the mutual fund industry
identified as "market timing" and "late trading" of mutual fund shares. Certain
other regulatory authorities have also been conducting investigations into
these practices within the industry and have requested that Alliance Capital
Management L.P. ("Alliance Capital"), the Fund's Adviser, provide information
to them. Alliance Capital has been cooperating and will continue to cooperate
with all of these authorities. The shares of the Fund are not redeemable by the
Fund, but are traded on an exchange at prices established by the market.
Accordingly, the Fund and its shareholders are not subject to the market timing
and late trading practices that are the subject of the investigations mentioned
above or the lawsuits described below. Please see below for a description of
the agreements reached by Alliance Capital and the SEC and NYAG in connection
with the investigations mentioned above.
In addition, numerous lawsuits have been filed against Alliance Capital and
certain other defendants in which plaintiffs make claims purportedly based on
or related to the same practices that are the subject of the SEC and NYAG
investigations referred to above. Some of these lawsuits name the Fund as a
party. Management of the Fund's Adviser believes that these private lawsuits
are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations
or financial condition of the Fund.
On December 18, 2003, Alliance Capital confirmed that it had reached terms with
the SEC and the NYAG for the resolution of regulatory claims relating to the
practice of "market timing" mutual fund shares in some of the AllianceBernstein
Mutual Funds. The agreement with the SEC is reflected in an Order of the
Commission ("SEC Order"). The agreement with the NYAG is subject to final,
definitive documentation. Among the key provisions of these agreements are the
following:
(i) Alliance Capital agreed to establish a $250 million fund (the
"Reimbursement Fund") to compensate mutual fund shareholders for the adverse
effects of market timing attributable to market timing relationships described
in the SEC Order. According to the SEC Order, the Reimbursement Fund is to be
paid, in order of priority, to fund investors based on (i) their aliquot share
of losses suffered by the fund due to market timing, and (ii) a proportionate
share of advisory fees paid by such fund during the period of such market
timing;
_______________________________________________________________________________

Notes to Financial Statements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) Alliance Capital agreed to reduce the advisory fees it receives from some
of the AllianceBernstein long-term, open-end retail funds, commencing January
1, 2004, for a period of at least five years; and
(iii) Alliance Capital agreed to implement changes to its governance and
compliance procedures. Additionally, the SEC Order contemplates that Alliance
Capital's registered investment company clients, including the Fund, will
introduce governance and compliance changes.
The shares of the Fund are not redeemable by the Fund, but are traded on an
exchange at prices established by the market. Accordingly, the Fund and its
shareholders are not subject to the market timing practices described in the
SEC Order and are not expected to participate in the Reimbursement Fund. Since
the Fund is a closed-end fund, it will not have its advisory fee reduced
pursuant to the terms of the agreements mentioned above.

(a) As required, effective October 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the
provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Investment
Companies, and began amortizing premium on debt securities for financial
statement reporting purposes only. The effect of this change for the year ended
September 30, 2002 was to decrease net investment income per share by $0.01,
decrease net realized and unrealized loss on investment by $0.01 and decrease
the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 10.91% to 10.81%.
Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to October 1, 2001
have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
(b) Based on average shares outstanding.
(c) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock
on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of
each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for
purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the
Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on
net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market
value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in
the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to
the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment return based on net asset
value will be lower than total investment return based on market value in
periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium
of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of
such periods. Total investment return calculated for a period of less than one
year is not annualized.
(d) Annualized.
(e) Net of interest expense of .33%, .51%, .97%, 1.62%, 1.61%, and 1.35%,
respectively, on borrowings.
