The portion of each ordinary income dividend qualifying for the corporate dividends-received deduction, allowable to certain corporate shareholders, was 19%.

None of the dividends paid during the year represented a return of capital.

There were no year-end reallocations or reclassifications of income or gains.

The amount of interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. Government was negligible.
