10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof could not be
filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
Due to a recent change in the accounting interpretation of the
presentation in the Fund's financial statements of investments in tender
option bonds or inverse floating rate bonds, the Fund is not able to finalize
the presentation of these investments in its financial statements for a timely
filing of its Form N-CSR to be made. Additionally, as a result of the
foregoing, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent registered public
accounting firm, is not able to finalize their audit of the financial
statements of the Fund for a timely filing of the Form N-CSR to be made. The
Fund's Form N-CSR will be completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as soon as practicable.
