Bradshaw One West Pack Square, Suite 1650 Asheville, NC 28801 Phone (828) 210-8184 FAX (828) 210-8183 May 12, 2003 Dear Fellow Shareholder of The SmallCap Fund, Inc, Two indisputable reasons to Vote the GREEN PROXY.... 1. MISERABLE PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE NAV Performance Comparison - Benchmark vs. SMALLCap Fund Terrible Performance....The SMALLCap Fund has trailed its Benchmark in EVERY SINGLE PERIOD Dismal Performance has continued this year. According to closed-end fund experts Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors, the SMALLCap Fund's 1st quarter 2003 NAV return of -11.7% ranked it number 44 out of 45 total funds in its category, next to dead-last Cumulative Return for Time Period Period Ending 12/31/02 (Data presented as a graph) 2 yr. -9% -29% 4 yr. +14% +8% 6 yr. +42% +28% 8 yr. +123% +120% 10 yr. +153% +131% 12 yr. +354% +264% Source: SMALLCap Fund Inc. Annual Reports 2. BOARD INACTION ON DELIVERING NAV Shareholders owning 37% of the Fund demanded a Board vote in the May 9 meeting on a proposed tender offer for Fund shares at full NAV, a straightforward procedure requiring no shareholder vote. Two other directors and I intended to vote IN FAVOR, but I was ruled "out of order" when I tried to present the proposal. Thus, no vote was allowed. The meeting ended with the current Board majority again failing to take any action to deliver NAV to shareholders. (over) The reasons to VOTE the GREEN PROXY could not be any clearer. Shareholders need NEW BOARD LEADERSHIP PLEGED TO: >> FIX THE PERSISTENT PERFORMANCE PROBLEM, AND >> VOTE FOR A TENDER OFFER AT FULL NAV The Fund will continue to spend a huge amount of stockholder money on mailing after mailing, and "hired gun" solicitors paid to annoy you with phone calls, all in an attempt to fool you into voting against your best interests. Please do not let them! Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese and Thomas Lenagh are men of vast experience and impeccable character. Both have years of service with closed- end funds and their background goes far beyond their involvement with me. Contrast this with the Fund's nominees. One, a business associate of the defeated former chairman, was appointed as part of the Board packing last year. He had no prior closed-end fund experience and was never supported by stockholder vote. The other is the portfolio manager responsible for the Fund's miserable performance. If you have returned the WHITE proxy card sent to you by the Fund, please revoke that proxy and vote for these nominees and the proposal by marking, signing, dating, and mailing a later dated GREEN proxy card. Once you have returned a later dated GREEN proxy card, there is no need to vote further or respond to the Fund's mailings or phone calls. Remember, your money is being used to pay for all solicitations by the Fund. Thank you for taking the time to help decide the future of your investment in our Fund. If I may answer any questions whatsoever or provide additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at (828) 210-8184. Sincerely, Ralph W. Bradshaw
