Item 5.  Other Events.

the United States Bankruptcy Court in Santa Rosa,  California.  The petition was
filed by ZAP under Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code. ZAP indicated that it is
in the process of reorganizing its business operations and finances.

The Fund is considering  whether it should recognize either a complete loss or a
substantial  impairment  in the value of its  investment in ZAP in its financial
statements for the fourth quarter of 2001.
