New York Municipal Bond Fund 

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier New York Municipal Bond Fund, covering the 12-month period from December 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006.

Although reports of declining housing prices have raised some economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely. A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong, and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of November, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, while the Federal Reserve Board remains “on hold” as it assesses new releases of economic data. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial advisor.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s portfolio manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Monica S. Wieboldt, Senior Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier New York Municipal Bond Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 6.25% for Class A shares, 5.71% for Class B shares and 5.46% for Class C shares.¹ The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 6.12% for the same period.² In addition, the average total return for all funds reported in the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category was 5.99% .³

A rally over the second half of the reporting period more than offset earlier market weakness, as slowing U.S. economic growth helped ease inflation fears. The fund’s Class A shares produced a higher return than its benchmark and Lipper category average, due to its relatively long average duration and contributions from corporate-backed municipal bonds. In addition, the Index contains bonds from many states, not just New York, and does not reflect fees and expenses to which the fund is subject.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city income taxes to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city personal income taxes.The fund will invest at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

assess the current interest-rate environment and the municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount”bonds,which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation to either discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Robust economic growth and rising short-term interest rates limited the municipal bond market’s performance over the first half of the reporting period. Municipal bond prices declined particularly sharply in May 2006, when hawkish comments from members of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) caused investors to revise upward their interest-rate expectations. By the end of June, the Fed had hiked the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% .

Investor sentiment subsequently began to change, however, as a softening housing market and moderating employment gains indicated that the U.S. economy was slowing.The Fed lent credence to this view when it refrained in August, September and October from raising short-term interest rates after more than two years of steady rate hikes. Municipal bonds generally rallied as investors first anticipated, and then reacted to, the Fed’s pause, causing yield differences between shorter- and longer-term bonds to narrow toward historical lows.

In addition, municipal bond prices were supported by favorable supply-and-demand influences. Like most states and municipalities, New York state and New York City took in more tax revenue than originally pro-jected.The state expects to end its 2007 fiscal year with a budget surplus, reducing its need to borrow. Consequently, the supply of newly issued bonds declined compared to the same period one year earlier, while investor demand remained robust.

4

For most of the reporting period, the fund’s longer-than-average duration enabled it to participate more fully in the market rally. In addition, the fund benefited in the declining rate environment from its holdings of non-callable bonds, securities with long maturities and issues that were refinanced, with the proceeds placed in escrow until their first available redemption dates. The fund’s holdings of tax exempt corporate-backed bonds — debt securities that are backed by corporations or other legal entities — also performed well as investors reached for additional yield.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recent economic data continues to indicate that U.S. economic growth is moderating with relatively little risk of recession.This suggests to us that the Fed is likely to remain on hold for the foreseeable future, and market volatility could become more subdued. Accordingly, we may reduce the fund’s average duration to more closely track the benchmark, and we expect to maintain an emphasis on income-oriented securities. Of course, portfolio strategy and composition may change as market and economic conditions dictate.

1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into
	consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable
	contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C
	shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Each share class is subject
	to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past
	performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate
	such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income
	may be subject to state and local taxes for non-New York residents, and some income may be
	subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any,
	are fully taxable. Return figures provided reflect the absorption of certain expenses by The Dreyfus
	Corporation pursuant to an agreement in effect until July 31, 2007, at which time it may be
	extended, modified or terminated.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier New York Municipal Bond Fund (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment com-pany.The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city personal income taxes to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other

26

than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value (“NAV”) without payment of a sales charge:

• By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders-Asset Management LLC
  (“Founders”) managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Disrtibutor.
• With the cash proceeds from an investor’s exercise of employment- related stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indi- rectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relat- ing to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor’s spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
• By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Fund 27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis.

28

Inverse floaters purchased after January 1, 1997 in the agency market are accounted for as financing transactions in accordance with FASB 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gain, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,

The Fund 29

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

At November 30, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $35,603, undistributed capital gains $329,237 and unrealized appreciation $8,063,640. In addition, the fund had $5,654 of capital losses realized after October 31, 2006, which were deferred for tax purposes to the first day of the following fiscal year.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2005, were as follows: tax exempt income $6,397,829 and $6,593,991, ordinary income $122,759 and $0 and long-term capital gains $2,668,286 and $367,038, respectively.

During the period ended November 30, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to tax treatment for amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $234, and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

During the period ended November 30, 2006, the Distributor retained $21,137 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $54,441 and $3,600 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

During the period ended November 30, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $106,905 and $52,892, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund

and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended November 30, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $345,616, $53,452 and $17,631, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

32

NOTE 5—Restatement

Subsequent to the issuance of the November 30, 2006 financial statements, the fund determined that the transfers of certain tax-exempt municipal bond securities by the fund to special purpose bond trusts in connection with participation in inverse floater structures do not qualify for sale treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and should have been accounted for as a secured borrowing.

The correction of the above item resulted in the restatement of the ratio of net expenses of the financial highlights table as shown below:

Ratio of Total Expenses	2005	2004	2003	2002
Class A shares:
As previously reported	.95%	.94%	.90%	.96%
As restated	.98%	1.00%	1.02%	1.09%
Class B shares:
As previously reported	1.47%	1.45%	1.44%	1.46%
As restated	1.50%	1.51%	1.52%	1.59%
Class C shares:
As previously reported	1.70%	1.69%	1.68%	1.69%
As restated	1.73%	1.75%	1.77%	1.82%
Ratio of Net Expenses	2005	2004	2003	2002
Class A shares:
As previously reported	.93%	.94%	.94%	.96%
As restated	.96%	1.00%	1.02%	1.09%

Class C shares:
As previously reported	1.68%	1.69%	1.68%	1.69%
As restated	1.71%	1.75%	1.77%	1.82%

This restatement has no impact on the fund’s previously reported net assets, net investment income, net asset value per share or total return.

Shareholders and Board of Trustees 

Dreyfus Premier New York Municipal Bond Fund 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Premier New York Municipal Bond Fund, including the statement of investments, as of November 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein.These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Premier New York Municipal Bond Fund at November 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE 

FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the fund’s Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Manager’s representatives noted the distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board members also considered the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, New York municipal debt funds (the

The Fund 37

INFORMATION ABOUT THE	REVIEW AND	APPROVAL	OF THE
FUND’S MANAGEMENT	AGREEMENT	(Unaudited)	(continued)

“Performance Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional New York municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below).The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board members noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997-2006) was approximately equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for the one-year periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 and lower for the other reported time periods, and that the fund’s yield performance was approximately equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians for the one-year periods ended June 30, 1999 through 2003 and June 30, 2006, and lower for the other reported time periods. The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for the five- and ten-year periods, and lower for the other reported time periods and that the fund’s performance was approximately equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians for the four-, five- and ten-year periods, and lower for the other reported time periods. Dreyfus also provided the Board with the fund’s yield and total return performance and the quartile, percentile and rank of the fund’s yield and total return within its Lipper category (as provided by Lipper) for certain other periods. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance was in Lipper’s second quartile (the first quartile being the best performance), and that the fund’s total return was in Lipper’s second and third quartile, respectively, for the three-month and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board members also noted that the difference in the performance figures of the fund and the performance figures of the other funds in the Performance Group was not significant.The Board members discussed with representatives of the Manager the reasons for

38

the fund’s underperformance compared to the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for the applicable periods, and the Manager’s efforts to improve performance. The Board members also received a presentation from the fund’s primary portfolio manager during which she discussed the fund’s investment strategy and the factors that affected performance.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fees were higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.The Board noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was higher than the Performance group and Performance Universe medians.The Board noted that the fund’s actual management fee and expense ratio, however, were lower due to the undertaking by Dreyfus to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, which management advised the Board would extend until July 31, 2007.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates included in the same category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”).The Manager’s representatives explained the nature of the Similar Funds and the differences, from the Manager’s perspective, in providing services to the Similar Funds as compared to managing and providing services to the fund. The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee.The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Funds seemed to be consistent with the services to be provided. Representatives of the Manager informed the Board members that there were no other accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

FUND’S MANAGEMENT	AGREEMENT	(Unaudited)	(continued)

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Management Agreement bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent, and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less.The Board members also discussed the profitability percentage determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

40

• The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the ser- vices provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
• The Board was satisfied with the Manager’s efforts to improve the fund’s performance, noting the narrow spreads among the perfor- mance figures of the comparison group of funds and that the Manager has undertaken to limit the fund’s expenses as described above.
• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative perfor- mance and expense and advisory fee information, including the Manager’s undertaking to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the fund, costs of the services provided, and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.
• The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in con- nection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for non-audit assurance and related services by the Auditor to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-investment adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant ("Service Affiliates"), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Service Affiliate, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $-0- in 2005 and $-0- in 2006.

Note: For the second paragraph in each of (b) through (d) of this Item 4, certain of such services were not pre-approved prior to May 6, 2003, when such services were required to be pre-approved. On and after May 6, 2003, 100% of all services provided by the Auditor were pre-approved as required. For comparative purposes, the fees shown assume that all such services were pre-approved, including services that were not pre-approved prior to the compliance date of the pre-approval requirement.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Registrant's Audit Committee has established policies and procedures (the "Policy") for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of the Auditor's engagements for non-audit services to the Registrant and Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.

Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the Reporting Periods were $917,339 in 2005 and $375,571 in 2006.
