Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
To Our Shareholders,
We are pleased to provide you with Legg Mason Income Trust’s semi-annual report for the six months ended June 30, 2008, combining reports for the Legg Mason Investment Grade Income Portfolio and Legg Mason Limited Duration Bond Portfolio.
The following table summarizes key statistics for the Primary Class of each portfolio, as of June 30, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | SEC YieldA | | | Average Life | | Net Asset Value Per Share |
Investment Grade | | 6.86 | % | | 11.42 years | | $ | 9.50 |
Limited Duration | | 4.72 | % | | 4.16 years | | $ | 9.46 |
A | SEC yields reported are for the 30 days ended June 30, 2008. Yields are subject to change at any time. |
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, total returns for the Primary Class of shares of the Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios were -3.05% and -3.09%, respectively. Total returns for the Institutional Class of shares of the Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios were -2.81% and -2.85%, respectively.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.leggmason.com/individualinvestors. The investment return and principal value of the Funds will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Information about the Funds performance over longer periods of time is shown in the Performance Information section within this report. For more information about the Fund share classes included in this report, please contact your financial advisor.

Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
Many Primary Class shareholders invest regularly in Fund shares on a dollar cost averaging basis. Most do so by authorizing automatic, monthly transfers from their bank of $50 or more from their bank checking or brokerage accounts. Dollar cost averaging is a convenient and sensible way to invest, as it encourages continued purchases over time regardless of fluctuating price levels. Of course, it does not ensure a profit nor protect against declines in the value of your investment. Your financial advisor will be happy to help you establish a dollar cost averaging account should you wish to do so.
Sincerely,
| | |
 | |  |

Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Legg Mason Investment Grade Income Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees on Primary Class shares; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2008, and held through June 30, 2008. The ending value assumes dividends were reinvested at the time they were paid.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account if your shares were held through the entire period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the relevant class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the class’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant class that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 1/1/08 | | Ending Account Value 6/30/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 1/1/08 to 6/30/08 |
Primary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 969.50 | | $ | 4.90 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,019.89 | | | 5.02 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 971.90 | | $ | 2.45 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.38 | | | 2.51 |
A | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 1.00%, and .50% for the Primary Class and Institutional Class, respectively, multiplied by the average values over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 366. |

Performance Information
Legg Mason investment Grade Income Portfolio
The graphs on the following pages compare the Fund’s total returns to that of a closely matched broad-based securities market index. The graphs illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $10,000 investment in Primary Class shares of the Fund and an initial $1,000,000 investment in Institutional Class shares of the Fund for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other administrative expenses. Both the Fund’s results and the index’s results assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at the time they were paid.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.

Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Legg Mason Limited Duration Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees on Primary Class shares; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2008, and held through June 30, 2008. The ending value assumes dividends were reinvested at the time they were paid.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account if your shares were held through the entire period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the relevant class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the class’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant class that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 1/1/08 | | Ending Account Value 6/30/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 1/1/08 to 6/30/08 |
Primary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 969.10 | | $ | 4.90 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,019.89 | | | 5.02 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 971.50 | | $ | 2.45 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.38 | | | 2.51 |
A | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 1.00% and 0.50% for the Primary Class and Institutional Class respectively, multiplied by the average values over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 366. |

Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Legg Mason Limited Duration Bond Portfolio
The graphs on the following pages compare the Fund’s total returns to that of a closely matched broad-based securities market index. The lines illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $10,000 investment in Primary Class shares and an initial $1,000,000 investment in Institutional Class shares of the Fund, for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The lines representing the securities market index do not take into account any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other administrative expenses. Both the Fund’s results and the index’s results assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at the time they were paid.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc.
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. (Corporation), consisting of the Investment Grade Income Portfolio (Investment Grade), and the Limited Duration Bond Portfolio (Limited Duration) (each a Fund), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended, as an open-end, diversified investment company.
Investment Grade and Limited Duration each consist of two classes of shares: Primary Class and Institutional Class. The income and expenses of each of these Funds are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares based on daily net assets, except for Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, which are charged only on Primary Class shares, and transfer agent and shareholder servicing expenses, which are determined separately for each class.
Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
Investment Valuation
The Funds’ securities are valued under policies approved by and under the general oversight of the Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for reporting methods of measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Fund’s investments, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
| • | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| • | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Debt securities are valued at the last quoted bid prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various other relationships between securities. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange

on which they trade. Publicly traded foreign government debt securities are typically traded internationally in the over-the-counter market and are valued at the bid price as of the close of business of that market. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before a Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may value these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds’ assets carried at fair value:

Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and of the fund to resell, the debt obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during a fund’s holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. The value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to satisfy the terms of the repurchase agreement. However, there could be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the collateral securities during the period in which the fund seeks to assert its rights. Each Fund’s investment adviser reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
Options and Futures
The current market value of an exchange traded option is the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the price obtained by reference to broker-dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Futures contracts are marked-to-market on a daily basis. As the contract’s value fluctuates, payments known as variation margin are made or received by each Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, and a Fund recognizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed.

Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders
Interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are allocated at the class level and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for each Fund. Net capital gain distributions, which are calculated at the Fund level, are declared and paid annually in December, to the extent necessary in order to comply with federal excise tax regulations. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under federal income tax regulations.
Compensating Balance Credits
The Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.
Credit and Market Risk
Investments in structured securities collateralized by residential real estate mortgages are subject to certain credit and liquidity risks. When market conditions result in an increase in default rates of the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of underlying real estate properties are materially below the outstanding amounts of the respective underlying mortgages, collection of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Such market conditions may significantly impair the value of these investments resulting in a lack of correlation between their credit ratings and values.
Other
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent upon claims that may be made against the Funds in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
2. Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
60
Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of June 30, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
3. Financial Instruments:
Options and Futures
As part of their investment programs, the Funds may utilize options and futures. Options may be written (sold) or purchased by the Funds. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and its value is marked-to-market daily. When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and its value is marked-to-market daily.
When options, whether written or purchased, expire, are exercised or are closed (by entering into a closing purchase or sale transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss as described in the chart below:
| | |
Purchased option: | | Impact on the Fund: |
| |
The option expires | | Realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. |
| |
The option is closed through a closing sale transaction | | Realize a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. |
| |
The Fund exercises a call option | | The cost of the security purchased through the exercise of the option will be increased by the premium originally paid to purchase the option. |
| |
The Fund exercises a put option | | Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be reduced by the premium originally paid to purchase the put option. |
| |
Written option: | | Impact on the Fund: |
| |
The option expires | | Realize a gain equal to the amount of the premium received. |
61

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. — Continued
| | |
Purchased option: | | Impact on the Fund: |
| |
The option is closed through a closing purchase transaction | | Realize a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and eliminate the option liability. The Fund will realize a loss in this transaction if the cost of the closing purchase exceeds the premium received when the option was written. |
| |
A written call option is exercised by the option purchaser | | Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be increased by the premium originally received when the option was written. |
| |
A written put option is exercised by the option purchaser | | The amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security that the Fund purchased when the option was exercised. |
The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Options written by a Fund involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the option value reflected in the statement of net assets. The most commonly realized risk in writing a covered call option is that a Fund may forgo the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The most commonly realized risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market or, for over-the-counter options, because of the counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to perform.
Activity in written call and put options during the six months ended June 30, 2008, was as follows:
| | | | | | | |
Limited Duration: | | Actual Contracts | | | Premiums | |
Options outstanding at December 31, 2007 | | 128 | | | $ | 80,610 | |
Options written | | 284 | | | | 118,124 | |
Options closed | | (278 | ) | | | (123,813 | ) |
Options exercised | | (52 | ) | | | (38,193 | ) |
| | | | | | | |
Options outstanding at June 30, 2008 | | 82 | | | $ | 36,728 | |
| | | | | | | |
Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is required to deposit with the broker cash or cash equivalents in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments
62
Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
(“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
The Funds enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates. There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as a hedging device. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the amounts reflected in the financial statements. The change in the value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in the value of the hedged instruments. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
The open futures positions and related appreciation or depreciation at June 30, 2008 are listed at the end of each Fund’s portfolio of investments.
Swap Agreements
The Funds may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing their exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk, or for other purposes. The use of swaps involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio transactions.
Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a “guarantor,” receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the Fund or its counterparty acts as guarantor. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, the Fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument, including liquidity and loss of value. Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount.
Swaps are marked to market daily, and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreement. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by a Fund are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Collateral, in the form of restricted cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the Funds’ custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms, and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements.

4. Transactions With Affiliates:
Each Fund has an investment management agreement with Legg Mason Fund Adviser, Inc. (“LMFA”). Pursuant to their respective agreements, LMFA provides the Funds with management and administrative services for which each Fund pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets shown in the table below. LMFA has contractually agreed to waive its fees to the extent Limited Duration’s expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) exceed during any month certain annual rates of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These contractual expense limitations are due to expire on April 30, 2009. LMFA has voluntarily agreed to waive fees to the extent that Investment Grade’s expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) exceed during any month certain annual rates. This voluntary waiver is currently expected to continue until April 30, 2009, but may be terminated at any time. Pursuant to an agreement approved by the Board, Limited Duration agreed to repay LMFA for waived fees and reimbursed expenses provided that payment does not cause operating expenses to exceed 1.00% of the Primary Class’s average net assets and 0.50% of the Institutional Class’s average net assets and the payment is made within three years after the year in which LMFA earned the fee or incurred the expense. The following chart shows annual rates of management fees, expense limits, and management fees waived, for each Fund:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Western Asset Management Company (“Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the actual investment activity of each Fund. LMFA pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 40% of the management fee received by LMFA for Investment Grade. For Limited Duration, LMFA pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.20% of its average daily net assets, not to exceed the fee received by LMFA.
64
Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”) serves as distributor of the Funds. LMIS receives an annual distribution fee and an annual service fee based on each Fund’s Primary Class’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly as shown in the table below. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Legg Mason waived $151,704 and $61,671 of the distribution and service fees for Investment Grade and Limited Duration, respectively.
| | | | | | |
Fund | | Distribution Fee | | | Service Fee | |
Investment Grade | | 0.25 | % | | 0.25 | % |
Limited Duration | | 0.25 | % | | 0.25 | % |
LMFA, the Adviser, and LMIS are corporate affiliates and wholly owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc.
Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (“Plan”), directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a specified portion of their compensation. A participating director may select one or more funds in which his or her deferred director’s fees will be deemed to be invested. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
5. Line of Credit:
The Funds, along with certain other Legg Mason Funds, participate in a $400 million line of credit (“Credit Agreement”) to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each participating Fund is liable only for principal and interest payments related to borrowings made by that Fund. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the prevailing federal funds rate plus the federal funds rate margin. The Funds did not utilize the line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure in its financial statements of tax positions that a fund has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Effective January 1, 2007, the Funds adopted FIN 48. There was no material impact to the financial statements or disclosure there to as a result of this adoption.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
