Semi-annual report for the six months ended March 31, 2007

American High-Income Trust^SM seeks a high level of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation through a diversified, carefully supervised portfolio consisting primarily of lower rated, higher risk corporate bonds.

This fund is one of the 30 American Funds. The organization ranks among the nation’s three largest mutual fund families. For 75 years, Capital Research and Management Company,^SM the American Funds adviser, has invested with a long-term focus based on thorough research and attention to risk.

Figures shown are past results for Class A shares and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Share prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity. For current information and month-end results, visit americanfunds.com. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 3.75%) had been deducted, the results would have been lower.

Here are the average annual total returns on a $1,000 investment with all distributions reinvested for periods ended March 31, 2007:

Class A shares	1 year		5 years		10 years
Reflecting 3.75% maximum sales charge	+7.17	%	+9.48	%	+7.15	%

The total annual fund operating expense ratio for Class A shares as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 0.69%. This figure does not reflect a fee waiver currently in effect; therefore, the actual expense ratio is lower.

The fund’s investment adviser waived 5% of its management fees from September 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005, and increased it to 10% on April 1, 2005. Fund results shown reflect actual expenses, with the waiver applied. Fund results would have been lower without the waiver. Please see the Financial Highlights table on pages 24 to 27 for details.

Results for other share classes can be found on page 28.

The return of principal in bond funds is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. High-yield bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal. Investing outside the United States is subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuations, political instability, differing securities regulations and periods of illiquidity, which are detailed in the fund’s prospectus.

Fellow shareholders:

[photo of a pencil inside a notebook]

We are pleased to report that the first half of American High-Income Trust’s 2007 fiscal year was a rewarding period for shareholders, helped by strong corporate fundamentals, low default rates, favorable credit conditions and substantial investor demand.

For the six months ended March 31, 2007, shareholders who reinvested dividends totaling 47.1 cents a share earned a total return of 7.3%, including an income return of 3.9%. Those results surpassed the 7.1% total return for the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index, a benchmark of similar funds, and slightly trailed the 7.6% return for the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, which attempts to mirror the high-yield debt markets.

During the period, high-yield bonds posted significantly higher returns than investment-grade bonds. The Citigroup Broad Investment-Grade (BIG) Bond Index, which measures high-quality bond markets including Treasuries, posted a 2.8% total return. The Credit Suisse and Citigroup indexes are unmanaged and do not reflect the effect of expenses.

Shareholders in the fund who elected to take their dividends in cash saw the value of their holdings increase by 3.3% for the period, while earning an income return of 3.8%.

A growing range of investment opportunities

New issuance of corporate bonds continued at high levels during the past six months, led by an increase in leveraged buyout activity as well as strong capital investment spending and significant refinancing of existing debt. The high issuance was easily absorbed by the market due to sufficient market liquidity and strong investor demand.

Leveraged buyouts (LBOs) can pose a risk for existing bondholders because those bonds are put in a subordinate position in the new, more highly leveraged capital structure, leading to price declines. At the same time, a positive trend has also emerged from the LBO wave. An increasing number of blue chip companies have entered the high-yield universe due to the availability of debt financing and equity capital, resulting in greater industry diversification. That is helping to expand the range of investment opportunities available for American High-Income Trust.

A focus on higher quality debt

The increased opportunity to invest in higher quality companies is important in the current environment for high-yield bonds, particularly as covenant protections weaken for new issues and spreads tighten.

A covenant is a provision in a debt agreement that requires one party to either perform or refrain from certain acts; usually, it is a restriction designed to protect the bondholder’s interest. Recently, covenant protections in many newer bonds have been weaker than those of existing bonds. We analyze the covenants of bonds very carefully, and consider any risks they may introduce to the portfolio. One strategy we sometimes use to offset this risk is to move up in the capital structure of companies we like to more senior or higher quality debt.

This strategy can also be effective when the spreads between senior and subordinated debt have tightened. Many investors striving for yield will buy the subordinated debt, which pays a higher interest rate (also known as the coupon). In the current environment, we have found better value in the slightly lower yielding, more senior levels of debt, which has improved the credit quality of the portfolio.

Maintaining a long-term perspective

Although the current environment remains positive for high-yield bonds and underlying fundamentals have been solid, we are cautiously optimistic as we look ahead to coming months. Economic growth has slowed, in part due to a weakening in the housing market. While this has created some interesting opportunities in housing-related companies, it also has put some pressure on corporate profitability.

Understanding that markets fluctuate, American High-Income Trust concentrates its in-depth global research on finding bonds of companies or issuers that we think will be able to support their debt obligations through various business and market cycles. This approach has helped the fund to produce solid returns for shareholders over the long term. For the past 10-year period ended March 31, 2007, the fund’s shareholders earned an average annual total return of 7.6%, with dividends reinvested. That compares with a 5.3% average annual total return for the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index and a 7.2% return for the Credit Suisse High Yield Index for that same time period.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and long-term investment perspective.

Sincerely,

/s/ Paul G. Haaga, Jr.

The fund’s 30-day yield for Class A shares as of April 30, 2007, calculated in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission formula, was 6.41% (6.38% without the fee waiver). The fund’s distribution rate for Class A shares as of that date was 6.92%. Both reflect the 3.75% maximum sales charge. The SEC yield reflects the rate at which the fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities while the distribution rate reflects the fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders. Accordingly, the fund’s SEC yield and distribution rate may differ.

1.    Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization - American High-Income Trust (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks a high level of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation through a diversified, carefully supervised portfolio consisting primarily of lower rated, higher risk corporate bonds.

The fund offers 14 share classes consisting of four retail share classes, five CollegeAmerica® savings plan share classes and five retirement plan share classes. The CollegeAmerica savings plan share classes (529-A, 529-B, 529-C, 529-E and 529-F) can be utilized to save for college education. The five retirement plan share classes (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5) are sold without any sales charges and do not carry any conversion rights. The fund’s share classes are described below:

Share class	Initial sales charge	Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption	Conversion feature
Class A and 529-A	Up to 3.75%	None (except 1% for certain redemptions within one year of purchase without an initial sales charge)	None
Class B and 529-B	None	Declines from 5% to 0% for redemptions within six years of purchase	Class B and 529-B convert to Class A and 529-A, respectively, after eight years
Class C	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	Class C converts to Class F after 10 years
Class 529-C	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	None
Class 529-E	None	None	None
Class F and 529-F	None	None	None
Class R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5	None	None	None

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds.Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies - The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Security valuation - Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices.

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions.

Security transactions and related investment income - Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the fund will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations - Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes based on the relative value of their settled shares. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders - Dividends paid to shareholders are declared daily from net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly. Distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Non-U.S. currency translation - Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. In the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in non-U.S. exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies are disclosed separately.

Forward currency contracts - The fund may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange non-U.S. currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The fund enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in non-U.S. exchange rates arising from investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates. Due to these risks, the fund could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the fund values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

Loan transactions - The fund may enter into loan transactions in which the fund acquires a loan either through an agent, by assignment from another holder, or as a participation interest in another holder's portion of a loan. The loan is often administered by a financial institution that acts as agent for the holders of the loan, and the fund may be required to receive approval from the agent and/or borrower prior to the sale of the investment. The loan's interest rate and maturity date may change based on the terms of the loan, including potential early payments of principal. Risks may arise due to the delayed settlement date of the loan transaction and the ability of the agent and/or the borrower to meet the obligations of the loan.

2.    Non-U.S. investments

Investment risk - The risks of investing in securities of non-U.S.issuers may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; revaluation of currencies; adverse political, social and economic developments; government involvement in the private sector; limited and less reliable investor information; lack of liquidity; certain local tax law considerations; and limited regulation of the securities markets.

Taxation - Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Realized and unrealized gains on securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The fund records a liability based on realized and unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable on these securities. As of March 31, 2007, the liability for non-U.S. taxes based on unrealized gains was $10,000.

3. Federal income taxation and distributions

The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Distributions - Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; paydowns on fixed-income securities; net capital losses; and income on certain investments.The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of the fund’s most recent year-end. As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)
Undistributed ordinary income	$	42,174
Post-October non-U.S. currency loss deferrals (realized during the period November 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006)*		(318	)
Capital loss carryforward expiring in 2011†		(146,129	)
*These deferrals are considered incurred in the subsequent year.
†The capital loss carryforward will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the fund in the current year or in subsequent years through the expiration date. The fund will not make distributions from capital gains while capital loss carryforwards remain.

As of March 31, 2007, the tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments were as follows:

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company ^SM ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, ^SM Inc. ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC providesfor monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.30% on the first $60 million of daily net assets and decreasing to 0.14% on such assets in excess of $10 billion. The agreement also provides for monthly fees, accrued daily, based on a declining series of rates beginning with 3.00% on the first $8,333,333 of the fund's monthly gross income and decreasing to 1.50% on such income in excess of $50,000,000. CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees. During the six months ended March 31, 2007, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $1,971,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $19,707,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.322%, was reduced to $17,736,000, or 0.290% of average daily net assets.

Class-specific fees and expenses - Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

Distribution services - The fund has adopted plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class R-5. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.30% to 1.00% as noted on the following page. In some cases, the board of trustees has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes may use up to 0.25% of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.

For Class A and 529-A, the board of trustees has also approved the reimbursement of dealer and wholesaler commissions paid by AFD for certain shares sold without a sales charge. These classes reimburse AFD for amounts billed within the prior 15 months but only to the extent that the overall annual expense limit of 0.30% is not exceeded. As of March 31, 2007, there were no unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement for Class A or 529-A.

Share class	Currently approved limits	Plan limits
Class A	0.30%	0.30%
Class 529-A	0.30	0.50
Class B and 529-B	1.00	1.00
Class C, 529-C and R-1	1.00	1.00
Class R-2	0.75	1.00
Class 529-E and R-3	0.50	0.75
Class F, 529-F and R-4	0.25	0.50

Transfer agent services -The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Class A and B. Under this agreement, these share classes compensate AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to all other share classes from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services - The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for all share classes other than Class A and B. Each relevant share class pays CRMC annual fees up to 0.15% (0.10% for Class R-5) based on its respective average daily net assets. Each relevant share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services. CRMC has agreed to pay AFS on the fund's behalf for a portion of the transfer agent services fees for some of the retirement plan share classes. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the total administrative services fees paid by CRMC were $2,000 and $111,000 for Class R-1 and R-2, respectively. Administrative services fees are presented gross of any payments made by CRMC. Each 529 share class is subject to an additional annual administrative services fee of 0.10% of its respective average daily net assets; this fee is payable to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the maintenance of the CollegeAmerica plan.Although these amounts are included with administrative services fees on the accompanying financial statements, the Commonwealth of Virginia is not considered a related party.

Expenses under the agreements described on the previous page for the six months ended March 31, 2007, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Distribution services	Transfer agent services	Administrative services
			CRMC administrative services	Transfer agent services	Commonwealth of Virginia administrative services

Total	$22,599	$4,505	$1,355	$556	$88

* Amount less than one thousand.

Deferred trustees’ compensation - Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMCmay elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund or other American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation of $44,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $27,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $17,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees - Officers and certain trustees of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the fund.

The fund’s investment adviser waived 5% of its management fees from September 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005, and increased it to 10% on April 1, 2005. Fund results shown reflect the waiver, without which they would have been lower. Please see the Financial Highlights table on pages 24 to 27 for details.

For information regarding the differences among the various share classes, please refer to the fund’s prospectus.

Expense example          

unaudited

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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 period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts and CollegeAmerica accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F and 529-F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. 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 this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts and CollegeAmerica accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F and 529-F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

ITEM 7 - Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 8 - Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 9 - Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 10 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s board of trustees since the Registrant last submitted a proxy statement to its shareholders. The procedures are as follows. The Registrant has a nominating and governance committee comprised solely of persons who are not considered ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the Board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full Board of trustees. While the committee normally is able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the board. Such suggestions must be sent in writing to the nominating and governance committee of the Registrant, c/o the Registrant’s Secretary, and must be accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the nominating and governance committee.

ITEM 11 - Controls and Procedures

(a)	The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 30a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940), that such controls and procedures are adequate and reasonably designed to achieve the purposes described in paragraph (c) of such rule.
(b)	There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12 - Exhibits

(a)(1)	Not applicable for filing of semi-annual reports to shareholders.
(a)(2)	The certifications required by Rule 30a-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached as exhibits hereto.
