Large Company Select Fund
Stocks were back in favor in 2003 following three years of declines as the economy came to life and corporate earnings accelerated. The Riverfront Large Company Select Fund (the "Fund") returned 21.60%1 (Investor A Shares at Net asset value ("NAV")) for the twelve-month period, versus 28.67% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index2 ("S&P 500 Index") and 29.76% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index3 . All three measures demonstrated strong returns in the equity markets from a base of widespread uncertainty leading into the Iraq war, facilitated by renewed confidence in spending habits by consumers and businesses.
Investors anticipated a fast resolution to the Iraqi war, buying stocks at the onset of conflict to spur a rally that continued throughout the rest of the year. Leadership was found in the most deeply cyclical, or "low quality" stocks whose prospects for survival were lowest throughout the three-year bear market. Our disciplined approach in screening for companies with higher predictability and sustainability of earnings mitigated performance. While these companies performed well, they did not possess the volatility characteristics capable of generating the excess returns found this year. Our belief is that over time, sustained earnings, sales, and margin growth are keys to long term price performance for a company. We were also more inclined to maintain a defensive posture early in the year, given our desire to protect our investors' money in a time of such heightened uncertainty. In the fourth quarter, the "low-quality" rally abated with rotation into names that better fit our profile, helping the Fund post returns in excess of its benchmark and peer group.
The portfolio's top winners this year included Intel Corp., on a recovery in semiconductor demand; Cisco Systems, Inc., with high margins that enabled the company to turn small sales gains into robust earnings growth; and Nextel Communications, Inc., whose push-to-talk cellular service defied its detractors by posting significant market share gains. Defensively-oriented consumer staples and health care issues struggled as investors shied away from slower but more stable earnings growth.
Technology companies dominated sector leadership, with strong performance coming late in the year by Materials and Industrial names with the help of a weaker dollar and a powerful rebound in manufacturing. The coming year may well see this trend continue as the economy continues its expansion and higher demand for manufactured goods originates from growth in China and India. Health Care names stand to benefit from developments in biotechnology, while margin improvements and a recovery in the capital markets set the stage for action in financial concerns.
We anticipate further growth in the economy with the backdrop of low inflation, reduced geopolitical risk, and a high level of confidence in further growth that enables businesses and consumers to make spending decisions. A major catalyst or concurrence of factors may be required to break the current momentum (political events, surprise inflation, etc.), but the trend favors continued growth and the demand for products and services which drive corporate earnings and ultimately stock prices. We also anticipate leadership in the coming year will reside in companies with the ability to sustain earnings growth, posting measures that demonstrate long-term demand such as sales acceleration and margin expansion, but with room in the valuations to discount such improvements.

Balanced Fund
The pressure of a three-year bear market was finally relieved in 2003 by the S&P 500 Index1 advancing strongly and finishing up 28.67%. Bonds also made a positive return for the fourth consecutive year with the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Bond Index2 advancing 4.68% for 2003. With the economy showing a very high growth rate, (third quarter gross domestic product ("GDP") had the highest growth rate in 20 years) it is not surprising that stocks advanced. What is surprising is the fact that bonds did not decline in the face of the equities' strength. High productivity and a jobless recovery so far has allowed the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to keep interest rates low. The Riverfront Balanced Fund (the "Fund") produced a total return of 16.34%3 (Investor A Shares at NAV) for the year.
The Fund started the year with an equity exposure around 60% and maintained that for the first part of the year. Equity exposure increased gradually through the second and third quarter, being close to 73% by the fourth quarter and maintaining that exposure at year-end. (The maximum equity exposure in this Fund is 75%.) Sector exposure did not change drastically over the course of the year. Overweights in financials, technology, and consumer discretion were maintained through most of 2003. Consumer staples and health care underweights were maintained through most of the year. The largest positions in the Fund at year-end were Devon Energy Corp., 3M Co., and American Express Co. The highest performing stocks this year were stocks with little or no earnings or absolute low price, typically what would be called low quality stocks. Our focus this year and going forward will be on the higher quality stocks with solid earning potential and good balance sheet characteristics.
The bond portion of the Fund maintained a low duration4 strategy concentrated in government agency bonds through the first half of the year. This duration was increased to around three years in the second half and ended the year there. This led to an underperformance on the fixed income side of the Fund as the Treasury market maintained positive returns for the fourth consecutive year. We plan to continue with the intermediate duration strategy into 2004.
Our economic outlook for 2004 is optimistic for the economy and earnings. We anticipate solid equity returns but closer to the yearly average rather than the spectacular advance this year and we anticipate modest to low returns on the fixed income side.

Small Company Select Fund
For the year ending December 31, 2003, The Riverfront Small Company Select Fund (the "Fund") exceeded the returns of its benchmark and peer group as small-capitalization stocks1 enjoyed their best gains in many years. The Fund returned 44.89%2 (Investor A Shares at NAV) versus 37.53% for the S&P 600 Small Cap Index3 and 37.31% for the S&P 600 Small Cap/Barra Growth Index4 . Performance was consistent with returns in excess of the benchmark for each of the four quarters, and the Fund outperformed its peers for a second straight year. As a result, the Fund attracted new assets and combined with market appreciation, doubled in size over the course of the year.
The twelve-month period was marked by a recovery in the equity markets following three years of decline. A time of intense uncertainty early in the year leading up to the war in Iraq resulted in stagnant returns in the first quarter, but resolution to the speculation sparked a rally in late March that persevered through the ensuing three quarters. Confidence returned on the part of consumers, business leaders, and investors, sparking economic growth and creating demand amidst a low inflation, growth-ready environment. Stocks that were most deeply cyclical rose sharply and led the year's returns. This was particularly evident for example in technology issues whose prospects tend to flourish or die with the ebb and flow of the economy. Consumer names also performed well as higher incomes, low interest rates, record mortgage refinancings, and tax cuts left consumers flush with cash and a willingness to spend it. As the year progressed, a recovery in manufacturing, soaring commodity prices, and a falling dollar benefited industrial and materials stocks.
In positioning the Fund to take advantage of the strong economic growth, we targeted sales acceleration as a primary indicator of demand for a company's product or service. We also evaluated growth prospects with other fundamental factors such as valuation metrics, financial health, and actions taken by company management. In addition, we paired our bottom-up selection with a top-down view of economic conditions, industry characteristics, and technical measures, to anticipate demand for a company's shares. This process allowed us to find winners among this year's "rising tide," and discipline with position management kept us vigilant in taking profits or cutting losses early. Southern Peru Copper led the portfolio this year on a falling dollar and exports to China. August Technology followed on its cost-saving devices in the semiconductor manufacturing process and Ryland Group soared on a record year in the U.S. housing market.
While we may not see the robust returns of 2003 in the coming year for small companies, we feel the backdrop for extended earnings growth at small companies is favorable. Many companies trade at minor premiums or even discounts to their sales, yet continue to project double-digit growth rates. Other companies possess lofty multiples but continue to surpass expectations as orders continue to increase. A shift in focus from a strong consumer to the acceleration in business capital spending favors continued leadership in technology, industrial and materials names. Biotech firms show promise over the next few months with product development, while financial firms are focused on margin improvements.
The expected growth in the economy this year supports the efforts by small companies to innovate with niche products, add unique services, and provide cutting edge resources to larger companies. Leadership in quality names will become a dominant theme of 2004 as companies with staying power will prove their might by extending their sales gains and expanding their margins-true signs of increasing demand.

Select Value Fund
After posting three consecutive years of declines, the equity markets responded strongly in 2003. The rally was fairly broad with small-cap and mid-cap stocks leading the way. For the year, the Russell 1000 Value Index1 gained 30.03%. Although larger capitalization stocks trailed smaller issues, solid gains were still evident. The S&P 500 Index2 appreciated 28.67% for 2003. In terms of style, "value investing" slightly exceeded its counterpart "growth investing."
Throughout 2003, The Riverfront Select Value Fund (the "Fund") maintained its value bias. Therefore, the Fund's focus continues to be identifying high quality companies that trade at attractive valuation levels. The Fund's portfolio currently trades at a Trailing One Year Price-to-Earnings Ratio of 17.2x. At the end of the year, the S&P 500, a good gauge of the market, possessed a Trailing One Year Price-to-Earnings Ratio of 21.1x. This simply means that for the Fund, we are paying $17.20 for each dollar of earnings in the companies that comprise the portfolio. As for the S&P 500, investors are paying $21.10 for each dollar of earnings in the 500 companies that makeup the index. In addition, dividends play a meaningful role in enhancing total return and limiting volatility. At the end of the year, the Fund's portfolio possessed a dividend yield of 2.1% compared to the dividend yield of the S&P 500 of 1.6%.
In essence, the magnitude of the recovery in stock prices in the last three quarters of the year was underestimated. While 2003 was a great year with double-digit returns, the first quarter saw declines, with the S&P 500 declining 3.2%, which prompted a conservative strategy for the Fund. At the end of 2003, the Fund maintained over-weighted positions in sectors that represent value with good dividend prospects. These sectors include financial services, consumer goods & services, health care, consumer discretion and information technology. Sectors which represented under-weighted positions included industrials, materials, and telecommunications. The Fund's positions in financials and information technology proved to be advantageous to operating results. Positions in industrials, materials, health care, and consumer staples impaired operating results due to the conservative positioning of the portfolio.
Additionally, low quality stocks seemed to be the theme for 2003. Companies that have not posted earnings in some time were being rewarded with higher stock prices. Therefore, most strategies based upon fundamental analysis lagged most market indices. Low quality companies like Avaya, Dynegy, Sanmina, and Novell posted gains in excess of 200%. Since the Fund focuses on higher quality issues, its return for 2003 of 26.27%3 (Investor A Shares at NAV) lagged the broader market averages.
Looking ahead, the Fund will continue to concentrate on higher quality names. We believe that fundamental analysis will be rewarded when sentiment returns to traditional measures. Stocks continue to appear attractive and the economy is steamrolling ahead. Profits will come under close scrutiny, which bodes well for higher quality issues. This, combined with resolve in geopolitical environment and historically low interest rates, we feel will position the Fund's portfolio well for the upcoming year.

The Riverfront U.S. Government Income Fund
As of December 31, 2003, The Riverfront U.S. Government Income Fund ("the Fund") posted a total return year-to-date, of 2.27%1 (Investor A Shares at NAV) versus 2.15% for the Morningstar Intermediate Government Average2 and 2.29% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index3.
Expectations for a rebound in corporate profits and associated stock market gains were realized over the course of the year. As a result, Treasury yields moved higher during the year as investors speculated that the cumulative effects of monetary easing in 2001 and 2002 would continue to push overall economic growth higher. As the year progressed, it became clear that economic growth was indeed recovering in a robust manner from the 2001 recession, as demonstrated by a fourth quarter GDP of 8.20%.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note increased by 43.5 basis points to 4.25%. However, this move was anything but a straight line. Yields reached a low of 3.12% on the 10-year Treasury in mid-June and then rose to a high of 4.60% in late September. It was a very volatile year, and corporate bond spreads spent the year narrowing, reflecting belief in the strength of profitability for firms. Spread levels reversed the wide levels seen in 2002. The performance of mortgage-backed securities was mixed as prepayments spiked to historically high levels. Thirty-year mortgage rates reached a low of 5.20% in 2003 before ending the year around the 5.75% level.
Businesses continue to be faced with excess capacity and declining end-demand as well as falling prices. Top line growth has not been the driver of corporate profits. Productivity levels are high reflecting the cost-cutting strategy adopted by corporate America. Consumers have realized that the economy, although strong, has yet to turn the labor market around. Additionally, consumers have already taken advantage of low-interest rates through home refinancing and zero-percent auto financing, boosting their standard of living. The question still remains to what degree have home refinances and tax cuts pulled forward future growth? The key to stock market performance in 2004 will depend on the answer. We believe that bond yields will react to the strength of any sustained stock market rally in a negative way. However, with the Fed on hold, and no visible signs of inflation, we expect any move to higher yields may be modest.
Although the consensus opinion is for higher yields in 2004, uncertainties and market volatility are likely to provide opportunities to add incremental return to the portfolio.

U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund
Despite the third quarter showing the highest growth rate in GDP since 1984, and the economy showing a strong pickup in the second half of 2003, the Fed left rates unchanged. This has turned the short-term yield curve slightly positive as the market anticipates the Fed is now on hold until late 2004. Currently, rates are the lowest in over 40 years.
The Riverfront U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund (the "Fund") had a 7-day yield of 0.36%1 at December 31, 2003, down from 0.64% at the end of 2002. The duration2 of the Fund has remained relatively stable throughout the year, fluctuating around 33 to 50 days, and ending at 37 days.
Looking forward, we believe the Fed will hold off on raising or lowering rates until a clearer picture on inflation is seen. We believe the next Fed move will probably be in last half of 2004 and will be an increase in rates. With the short-term yield curve slightly positive, we will hold our duration around current levels. As the market anticipates the Fed increasing rates, we will extend in an effort to capture higher yields.

The Riverfront Funds
December 31, 2003
1. Organization:
The Riverfront Funds, Inc. was organized on March 27, 1990, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ``1940 Act''), as an open-end, management investment company. Effective December 29, 1998, The Riverfront Funds, Inc., changed its form of organization from that of a Maryland corporation to an Ohio business trust by completing a reorganization with and into The Riverfront Funds, an Ohio business trust (the ``Trust''), created for such purpose. The Trust consists of six portfolios (individually referred to as a "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds") as follows: The Riverfront Large Company Select Fund, The Riverfront Balanced Fund, The Riverfront Small Company Select Fund, The Riverfront Select Value Fund, The Riverfront U.S. Government Income Fund and The Riverfront U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund.
Portfolio Name | | Investment Objective |
RIVERFRONT Large Company Select Fund | | Seeks long-term growth of capital with current income as a secondary objective. |
RIVERFRONT Balanced Fund | | Seeks long-term growth of capital with some current income as a secondary objective. |
RIVERFRONT Small Company Select Fund | | Seeks capital growth. |
RIVERFRONT Select Value Fund | | Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. |
RIVERFRONT U.S. Government Income Fund | | Seeks a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital, by investing primarily in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and in high quality fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities. |
RIVERFRONT U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund | | Seeks current income from short-term U.S. government securities while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. |
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
The Large Company Select Fund, Balanced Fund, Small Company Select Fund, Select Value Fund and U.S. Government Income Fund each offer two share classes: Investor A Shares and Investor B Shares. The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund also offers two classes of shares: the Investor A Shares and Institutional Shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation:
Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, and other fixed income and asset-backed securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund uses the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. For the Large Company Select Fund, Balanced Fund, Small Company Select Fund, Select Value Fund and U.S. Government Income Fund, short term securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees"). Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Repurchase Agreements:
It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Trust to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds' adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed with, or established by, the Trustees. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly the Funds may receive less than the repurchased price of the collateral securities. The Funds may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions:
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Each of the Funds offer two classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. 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. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses:
All premiums/discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes as required. Gains and losses realized on pre-payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.
Federal Taxes:
It is each Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book/tax treatments of market discount reclasses, paydown gains and losses and net investment income (loss). The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements:
| Increase (Decrease) |
---|
Fund | | Paid-in Capital | | Undistributed (Distributions in Excess of) Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain(Loss) |
---|
Large Company Select Fund | | $ (259,311) | | $ 259,311 | | -- |
Balanced Fund | | (17) | | 17 | | -- |
Small Company Select Fund | | (171,291) | | 171,291 | | -- |
Select Value Fund | | (35) | | 35 | | -- |
U.S. Government Income Fund | | (95,767) | | -- | | 95,767 |
As of December 31, 2003, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes, as noted below, which will reduce the Funds' taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:
Fund | | 2006 | | 2007 | | 2009 | | 2010 | | 2011 | | Total Tax Loss Carryforward |
---|
Large Company Select Fund | | $ -- | | $ -- | | $ 10,258,008 | | $ 11,700,131 | | $ 1,241,750 | | $ 23,199,889 |

Additionally, the following Funds had capital losses attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2003, which were treated as arising on January 1, 2004 the first day of each Fund's next taxable year as follows:

U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund | | -- | | -- | | -- | | -- | | -- | | -- |
As of December 31, 2003, the gross appreciation and gross depreciation, of investments, on a tax basis were as follows:
Fund | | Cost of Investments | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciations |
---|
Large Company Select Fund | | $ 24,704,114 | | $ 3,398,591 | | $ (1,287,655) | | $ 2,110,936 |
Balanced Fund | | 15,276,725 | | 2,331,815 | | (272,550) | | 2,059,265 |
Small Company Select Fund | | 8,495,390 | | 2,796,880 | | (99,620) | | 2,697,260 |
Select Value Fund | | 19,288,528 | | 3,159,451 | | (326,542) | | 2,832,909 |
U.S. Government Income Fund | | 45,575,950 | | 163,600 | | (54,092) | | 109,508 |
U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund | | 204,625,910 * | | -- | | -- | | -- |
* At amortized cost.
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attribable to the differing treatment for the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions:
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other:
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
3. Shares Of Beneficial Interest:
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

8. Change in Independent Auditors (unaudited)
In February 2003, based on the recommendation of the Trust's Audit Committee, the Board of Trustees selected Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the Trust's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. D&T replaces Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y"), which served as the Trust's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and prior years. The change from E&Y to D&T was made in connection with the Trust's annually required selection of auditors.
The reports on the financial statements audited by E&Y for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 for the Funds did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements between the Funds and E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements of such years.
Independent Auditors' Report
The Riverfront Funds
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Riverfront Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The Riverfront Funds (the "Funds"), including the Large Company Select Fund, Balanced Fund, Small Company Select Fund, Select Value Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, and U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund, including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the financial highlights presented for periods prior to December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 10, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 The Riverfront Funds as of December 31, 2003, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.
The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and
non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure
that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor's
independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent
auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific
pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding
pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee.
The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities
to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to
its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the
Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will
designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the
Chairman is unavailable.
AUDIT SERVICES
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be
subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting
from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure
or other matters.
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that
are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the
Company's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the
independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of
Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor,
and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other
Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit
Committee.
TAX SERVICES
The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can
provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning
and tax advice without impairing the auditor's independence. However, the
Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor
in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent
auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment
of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related
regulations. All Tax services must be specifically pre-approved by the
Audit Committee.
ALL OTHER SERVICES
With respect to the provision of services other than audit,
review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:
The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to
determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the
applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS
Not Applicable
PROCEDURES
Requests or applications to provide services that require
specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit
Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting
Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to
whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the
SEC's rules on auditor independence.
