A LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for General California Municipal Money Market 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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Thomas F. Eggers Chief Executive Officer The Dreyfus Corporation December 15, 2006

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Joseph Irace, Portfolio Manager
How did General California Municipal Money Market Fund perform during the period?
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2006, the fund produced yields of 2.84% for Class A shares and 2.43% for Class B shares.Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced effective yields of 2.87% and 2.46% for Class A and Class B shares, respectively.1
On July 10, 2006, the fund’s E*TRADE Class shares were liquidated. This had no impact on the fund’s portfolio or the performance of its other share classes.
Yields of tax-exempt money market securities rose along with short-term interest rates for much of the reporting period before stabilizing when the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) refrained from further rate hikes in the summer and fall of 2006.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
In pursuing this objective, we employ two primary strategies. First, we normally attempt to add value by constructing a portfolio of high-quality, municipal money market instruments that provide income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes. Second, we actively manage the fund’s average maturity based on our anticipation of supply-and-demand changes in the short-term municipal marketplace.
For example, if we expect an increase in short-term supply, we may decrease the average maturity of the fund, which could enable us to take advantage of opportunities when short-term supply increases. Generally, yields tend to rise when there is an increase in new-issue supply competing for investor interest. New securities that are generally issued with maturities in the one-year range may in turn

lengthen the fund’s weighted average maturity if purchased. If we anticipate limited new-issue supply, we may then look to extend the fund’s average maturity to maintain then-current yields for as long as we believe practical. In addition, we try to maintain an average maturity that reflects our view of short-term interest-rate trends and future supply-and-demand considerations.
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
As it had since June 2004, the Fed continued to raise short-term interest rates at the start of the reporting period. Nonetheless, the U.S. economy gained momentum during the first quarter of 2006, as labor markets strengthened and GDP growth accelerated to a 5.6% annualized rate.
Energy prices surged higher in the spring, and hawkish comments from Fed members caused inflation concerns to intensify. Investors therefore concluded that the Fed might raise interest rates more than they previously expected. In fact, the Fed raised short-term interest rates at each of its meetings through the end of June 2006, driving the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% .
Concerns regarding higher inflation waned during the summer,however, when U.S. housing markets softened and employment gains moderated. As a result, investors looked forward to a possible end to the Fed’s tightening campaign.The Fed obliged at its August, September and October meetings by holding the federal funds rate steady, its first pauses in more than two years. Energy prices fell significantly in the late summer and fall, and GDP growth moderated to a 2.2% annualized rate in the third quarter, helping to ease investors’ inflation fears.
The growing U.S. economy benefited California’s fiscal condition.Tax receipts came in higher than originally projected, reducing the state’s borrowing needs. Consequently, the supply of newly issued California money market instruments fell sharply compared to the same period one year earlier, while investor demand remained robust, putting downward pressure on yields.
As inflation-related concerns ebbed over the summer and fall, yields of longer-term municipal securities fell while those of shorter-dated municipal money market securities remained stable.This left little difference in the yields of tax-exempt securities with maturities between six months and four years. Investors therefore focused mainly on instruments maturing in six months or less, which put additional downward pressure on yields at the short end of the maturity range.
In this environment, we generally maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range we considered to be slightly longer than industry averages.With yields relatively low from municipal notes and variable-rate demand notes at the long and short ends of the fund’s maturity spectrum, respectively, we continued to focus on tax-exempt commercial paper with maturities in the three- to five-month range.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
Recent Fed comments and evidence of slower economic growth suggest to us that the Fed is unlikely either to raise or lower short-term interest rates over the foreseeable future. While we have maintained the fund’s slightly longer-than-average position,we may lengthen its weighted average maturity further to take advantage of seasonal opportunities for higher yields that typically arise near year-end.Of course,we are prepared to adjust our strategies as market conditions continue to evolve.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for non-California residents, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors.Yields provided for the fund’s Class B shares reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to a voluntary undertaking that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s Class B shares would have produced a yield of 2.38% and an effective yield of 2.41% .
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in General California Municipal Money Market Fund from June 1, 2006 to November 30, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)
Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
General California Municipal Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) 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.
On July 10, 2006, the Board of Trustees approved the termination of E*TRADE Class shares of the fund. Effective July 10, 2006, E*TRADE shares are no longer being offered by the fund.
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 shares and Class B shares. Class A shares and Class B shares are identical except for the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Class B shares are subject to a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act and Class A and Class B shares are subject to a Shareholder Services Plan. During the period prior to their termination, E*TRADE Class shares were subject to a Distribution Plan
adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act and a Shareholder Services Plan. In addition, Class B shares are and, prior to their termination by the fund’s Board of Trustees E*TRADE Class shares were, charged directly for sub-accounting services provided by Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) at an annual rate of ..05% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares. During the period ended November 30, 2006, sub-accounting service fees amounted to $37,201 for Class B shares and $206,373 for E*TRADE Class shares and are included in shareholder servicing costs. Income, expenses (other 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.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
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 those estimates.
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 at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the fund’s Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
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 author-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
|
itative 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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.
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 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, if any, 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, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain.
(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, 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 substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
The accumulated capital loss carryover of $88,993 is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to November 30, 2006. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2014.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2005 were all tax exempt income.
During the period ended November 30, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences,primarily due to dividend reclassification,the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $104,905 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
At November 30, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Agreement provides that if in any full fiscal year the aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed 1 1 / 2% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from payments to be made to the Manager, or the Manager will bear such excess expense. During the period ended November 30, 2006, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the Agreement.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan with respect to Class B shares and with respect to the E*TRADE Class shares prior to their termination by the fund’s Board of Trustees (“Distribution Plan”), adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and E*TRADE Class shares bore directly the cost of preparing, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and of implementing and operating the Distribution Plan, such aggregate amount not to exceed in any fiscal year of the fund, the greater of $100,000 or .005% of the average daily net assets of Class B and E*TRADE Class shares. In addition, Class B shares reimburse, and E*TRADE Class shares reimbursed the Distributor for payments made to third parties for distributing their shares at an annual rate not to exceed .20% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and E*TRADE Class shares. During the period ended November 30, 2006, Class B and E*TRADE Class shares were charged $152,672 and $849,382, respectively, pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Class A (“Class A Shareholder Services Plan”), Class A shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class A shares for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding
Class A shares and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended November 30, 2006, Class A shares were charged $78,194 pursuant to the Class A Shareholder Services Plan.
Under the Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Class B shares and with respect to the E*TRADE Class share prior to their termination by the fund’s Board of Trustees (“Shareholder Services Plan”), Class B shares pay and E*TRADE Class shares prior to their termination by the fund’s Board of Trustees paid the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and E*TRADE Class shares for servicing shareholder accounts. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding Class B and E*TRADE Class shares and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents in respect of their services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents.
The Manager had undertaken from December 1, 2005 through November 30, 2006 for Class B shares and from December 1, 2005 through July 10,2006 for E*TRADE Class shares,to reduce the expenses of the Class B and E*TRADE Class shares, if the aggregate expenses of Class B and E*TRADE Class shares of the fund, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees,interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses,exceed an annual rate of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of each such class. Such expense limitations are voluntary, temporary and may be revised or terminated at anytime. During the period ended November 30, 2006, Class B and E*TRADE Class shares were charged $186,004 and $1,031,864, respectively, of which $37,844 and $165,952, respectively, were reimbursed by the Manager.
The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended November 30, 2006, the fund was charged $48,629 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
|
During the period ended November 30, 2006, the fund was charged $4,184 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.
The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $203,459, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $12,917, shareholder services plan fees $19,375, transfer agency per account fees $9,092 and chief compliance officer fees $1,704, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $3,992.
(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.

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 General California Municipal Money Market 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 Board noted that the fund’s shares are sold primarily through institutional channels and often serve as a “sweep vehicle” for use by third party broker-dealers for their customers. The Manager’s representatives noted 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.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’ S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail no-load California tax-exempt money market funds (the “Performance Group”), and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional California tax-exempt money market 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 the 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 performance was higher than the Performance Group medians, and equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians, for each reported time period.
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 fee was higher, and that the fund’s total expense ratio was lower, than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.
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 with similar investment objectives, policies, and strategies and included within the fund’s Lipper category (the “Similar Funds”).The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the advisory fees paid in light of the Manager’s performance and the services provided.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fees.The Board members
acknowledged that the difference in fees paid by the Similar Funds seemed to be consistent with the services provided.The Manager’s representatives noted that there were no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies, and strategies as the fund.
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 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 as the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect 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 and its affiliates acting as investment adviser and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements 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 fee under the Management Agreement bears 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 the 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 ranges 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.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’ S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)
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.
• The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
• The Board was satisfied with the fund’s performance.
• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, 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 connection 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
(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the "Reporting Periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $31,187 in 2005 and $32,669 in 2006.
(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $0 in 2005 and $0 in 2006.
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.

These services consisted of a review of the Registrant's anti-money laundering program.
The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for Non-Audit Services by the Auditor to Service Affiliates, other than the services reported in paragraphs (b) through (c) of this Item, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $0 in 2005 and $0 in 2006.
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.
