Explanation of FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a shareholder in one or more of the funds, you receive shareholder reports semiannually. We strive to present this financial information in an easy-to-understand format; however, for many investors, the information contained in this shareholder report may seem very technical. So, we would like to take this opportunity to explain several sections of the shareholder report.

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities lists the assets and liabilities of the fund on the last day of the reporting period and presents the fund's net asset value ("NAV") and market price per share. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is the closing price on the exchange on which the fund's shares trade. This price, which may be higher or lower than the fund's NAV, is the price an investor pays or receives when shares of the fund are purchased or sold. The investments, as presented in the Schedule of Investments, comprise substantially all of the fund's assets. Other assets include cash and receivables for items such as income earned by the fund but not yet received. Liabilities include payables for items such as fund expenses incurred but not yet paid.

The Statement of Operations details the dividends and interest income earned from investments as well as the expenses incurred by the fund during the reporting period. Fund expenses may be reduced through fee waivers or reimbursements. This statement reflects total expenses before any waivers or reimbursements, the amount of waivers and reimbursements (if any), and the net expenses. This statement also shows the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments owned during the period. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on investment income and expenses of the fund.

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets describes how the fund's net assets were affected by its operating results and distributions to shareholders during the reporting period. This statement is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the fund's net asset size to change during the period.

The Statement of Cash Flows is required when a fund has a substantial amount of illiquid investments, a substantial amount of the fund's securities are internally valued, or the fund carries some amount of debt. When presented, this statement explains the change in cash during the reporting period. It reconciles net cash provided by and used for operating activities to the net increase or decrease in net assets from operations and classifies cash receipts and payments as resulting from operating, investing, and financing activities.

The Notes to Financial Statements disclose the organizational background of the fund, its significant accounting policies, federal tax information, fees and compensation paid to affiliates, and significant risks and contingencies. Included within the notes to financial statements is the Financial Highlights. This table provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affected the fund's NAV for the current and past reporting periods. It also shows total return, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover rates. The net investment income ratios summarize the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets. The expense ratios represent the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. The portfolio turnover rate represents the percentage of the fund's holdings that have changed over the course of the period, and gives an idea of how long the fund holds onto a particular security. A 100% turnover rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year through the purchase or sale of securities.

The Schedule of Investments details all of the securities held in the fund and their related dollar values on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually presented by type (bonds, common stock, etc.) and by industry classification (healthcare, education, etc.). This information is useful for analyzing how your fund's assets are invested and seeing where your portfolio manager believes the best opportunities exist to meet your objectives. Holdings are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a recommendation of any individual security. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on how the securities are valued.

We hope this guide to your shareholder report will help you get the most out of this important resource.

Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited as to February 29, 2008)

(1) Organization
  American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. ("ASP"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. II ("BSP"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. III ("CSP"), and American Select Portfolio Inc. ("SLA") (the "funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The funds emphasize investments in mortgage-related assets that directly or indirectly represent a participation in or are secured by and payable from mortgage loans. They may also invest in U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, preferred stock issued by real estate investment trusts, and mortgage servicing rights. In addition, the funds may borrow using reverse repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities. Fund shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA, respectively.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  Security Valuations

Security valuations for the funds' investments (other than whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights) are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the funds' board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the Nasdaq national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.

Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value.

The following investment vehicles, when held by a fund, are priced as follows: Exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by FAF Advisors, Inc. ("FAF Advisors"), on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Options on securities, indices, and currencies traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange, whether domestic or foreign, are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq or on any exchange on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, the options will be valued at the last sale price on the previous valuation date. Last sale prices are obtained from an independent pricing service. Forward contracts (other than currency forward contracts), swaps, and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, and currencies are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.

When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds' board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating

First American Mortgage Funds 2008 Semiannual Report

Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased or sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value.

The funds' investments in whole loans (single family, multifamily, and commercial), participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are generally not traded in any organized market and therefore, market quotations are not readily available. These investments are valued at fair value according to procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors. Pursuant to these procedures, whole loan investments are initially valued at cost and their values are subsequently monitored and adjusted using a FAF Advisors pricing model designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments. The pricing model takes into account a number of relevant factors including the projected rate of prepayments, the delinquency profile, the historical payment record, the expected yield at purchase, changes in prevailing interest rates, and changes in the real or perceived liquidity of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights as the case may be. The results of the pricing model may be further subject to price ceilings due to the illiquid nature of the loans. Changes in prevailing interest rates, real or perceived liquidity, yield spreads, and creditworthiness are factored into the pricing model each week.

Certain mortgage loan information is received once a month. This information includes, but is not limited to, the projected rate of prepayments, projected rate and severity of defaults, the delinquency profile, and the historical payment record. Valuations of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although FAF Advisors believes the pricing model to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights can only be determined in negotiations between the funds and third parties.

As of February 29, 2008, the funds had fair valued securities as follows:

Fund   Fair Value   Percentage
of Net Assets
 
AS   $ 52,257,537       102.1 %  
BSP     223,759,170       115.4    
CSP     288,067,868       112.0    
SLA     160,345,518       117.1    

 

Security Transactions and Investment Income

For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of bond premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

Whole Loans and Participation Mortgages

Whole loans and participation mortgages may bear a greater risk of loss arising from a default on the part of the borrower of the underlying loans than do traditional mortgage-backed securities. This is because whole loans and participation mortgages, unlike most mortgage-backed securities,

First American Mortgage Funds 2008 Semiannual Report
12



generally are not backed by any government guarantee or private credit enhancement. Such risk may be greater during a period of declining or stagnant real estate values. The funds may invest in single family, multifamily, and commercial loans. Each fund currently limits its investment in commercial loans to 50% of its total assets.

At February 29, 2008, ASP had one single family loan representing 0.03% of net assets and 2.30% of total single family loans outstanding that was 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. At February 29, 2008, no multifamily or commercial loans in ASP were delinquent.

At February 29, 2008, CSP had two multifamily loans representing 2.02% of net assets and 5.41% of total multifamily loans outstanding that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. At February 29, 2008, no commercial loans in CSP were delinquent.

At February 29, 2008, SLA had one commercial loan representing 2.37% of net assets and 3.30% of total commercial loans outstanding that was 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. At February 29, 2008, no multifamily loans in SLA were delinquent.

At February 29, 2008, no loans were delinquent in BSP.

The funds may incur certain costs and delays in the event of a foreclosure. Also, there is no assurance that the subsequent sale of the property will produce an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan as of the date the borrower went into default, the accrued unpaid interest, and all of the foreclosure expenses. In this case, the funds may suffer a loss. In accordance with the valuation procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors, real estate acquired through foreclosure, if any, is valued at estimated market value, as determined by independent third party appraisals, less estimated selling costs. As material capital improvements are made to the property, new market value appraisals are obtained.

Real estate may be acquired through foreclosure on whole loans or similar obligations. The funds may receive rental or other income as a result of holding real estate. In addition, the funds may incur expenses associated with maintaining or improving any real estate owned. As of February 29, 2008, the funds held no real estate owned through foreclosure.

CSP recognized a loss of $1,416,458 on a real estate property sold during the six-month period ended February 29, 2008.

The income and capital improvements for the six months ended February 29, 2008 were:

CSP   Gross Rental
Income
  Operating
Expenses
  Net Operating
Income
  Capital
Improvements
 
Chateau Club Apartment Building   $ 343,372     $ 337,950     $ 5,422     $ 31,839    

 

Real estate income is recorded on a net basis in the income section of the funds' Statement of Operations. Capital improvements are recorded as an addition to the cost basis of the property, which will increase any loss at sale.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fund may acquire interests in the cash flow from servicing fees through contractual arrangements with mortgage services. Mortgage servicing rights, similar to interest-only securities, generate no further cash flow when a mortgage is prepaid or goes into default. Mortgage servicing

Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

rights are accounted for on a level-yield basis with recognized income based on the estimated amounts and timing of cash flows. Such estimates are adjusted periodically as the underlying market conditions change. As of and for the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, the funds held no mortgage servicing rights.

Borrowings

The funds have entered into loan agreements with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC ("Morgan Stanley") under which ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA may borrow up to $10,000,000, $70,000,000, $90,000,000, and $50,000,000, respectively, using whole loans as collateral. Such agreements terminate on March 21, 2008, but may be extended in the sole discretion of Morgan Stanley, at the request of the funds. In addition to principal and interest payments paid by each fund to Morgan Stanley for borrowings outstanding, each fund pays an annual fee of 0.15% to Morgan Stanley on any unused portion of the fund's loan commitment. The funds also borrow money by entering into reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of portfolio-eligible securities by the funds, coupled with an agreement to repurchase the securities at a specified date and price.

Borrowings may increase volatility of the funds' net asset values and involve the risk that interest costs on money borrowed may exceed the return on securities purchased with that borrowed money. Each fund is subject to a restriction on borrowing under which each fund must maintain asset coverage of at least 300%. The interest expense incurred on borrowings is recognized as "Interest Expense" in the Statements of Operations. For the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, the weighted average borrowings outstanding for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $18,904,028, $73,924,275, $87,336,794, and $57,802,461, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates paid by the funds on such borrowings were 5.46%, 5.59%, 5.36%, and 5.44%, respectively.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the funds on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. Such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. Each fund segregates, with its custodian, assets with a market value equal to the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis may increase the volatility of a fund's net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of February 29, 2008, the funds had no outstanding when-issued or forward-commitment securities.

Repurchase Agreements

For repurchase agreements entered into with certain broker-dealers, the funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government or agency obligations. Securities pledged as collateral for all individual and joint repurchase agreements are held by the funds' custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. All agreements require that the daily market value of the collateral be in excess of the repurchase amount, including accrued interest, to protect the funds in the event of a default. As of February 29, 2008, the funds had no outstanding repurchase agreements.

Federal Taxes

Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as

First American Mortgage Funds 2008 Semiannual Report
14



amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains and losses may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to deferred wash sales losses, paydown gains and losses, tax mark-to-market adjustments under Section 311(e) of the Taxpayer relief Act of 1997, tax deductions for real estate owned and investments in REITS. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the fiscal period that the differences arise.

The character of distributions made during the fiscal period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal period that the income or realized gains or losses were recorded by the funds.

The character of distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 29, 2008 (estimated) and fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, were as follows:

    ASP   BSP  
    2/29/08   8/31/07   2/29/08   8/31/07  
Distributions paid from:  
Ordinary income   $ 1,650,219     $ 3,555,377     $ 6,873,870     $ 13,439,536    
Long-term capital gains                          
Total   $ 1,650,219     $ 3,555,377     $ 6,873,870     $ 13,439,536    
    CSP   SLA  
    2/29/08   8/31/07   2/29/08   8/31/07  
Distributions paid from:  
Ordinary income   $ 11,083,778     $ 25,604,202     $ 4,797,988     $ 11,160,865    
Long-term capital gains           1,048,544       510,399       999,368    
Total   $ 11,083,778     $ 26,652,746     $ 5,308,357     $ 12,160,233    

 

At August 31, 2007, the funds' most recently completed fiscal year-end, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were as follows:

    ASP   BSP   CSP   SLA  
Undistributed ordinary income   $     $     $ 3,066,843     $ 4,513    
Accumulated long-term capital gains                       465,947    
Accumulated capital and post-October losses     (1,004,452 )     (2,858,586 )     (1,091,077 )        
Unrealized depreciation     (1,838,550 )     (10,568,462 )     (10,426,901 )     (1,839,511 )  
Accumulated deficit   $ (2,843,002 )   $ (13,427,048 )   $ (8,451,135 )   $ (1,369,051 )  

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at August 31, 2007, is attributable to adjustments for REITs, depreciation on real estate owned properties, and a one-time tax election whereby the funds marked appreciated securities to market creating capital gains that were used to reduce capital loss carryovers and increase tax cost basis.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for the funds are distributed to shareholders at least

First American Mortgage Funds 2008 Semiannual Report
15



Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

annually. These distributions are recorded as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are payable in cash or, pursuant to the funds' dividend reinvestment plans, reinvested in additional shares of the funds' capital stock. Under each fund's plan, fund shares will be purchased in the open market unless the market price plus commissions exceeds the net asset value by 5% or more. If, at the close of business on the dividend payment date, the shares purchased in the open market are insufficient to satisfy the dividend reinvestment requirement, the funds will issue new shares at a discount of up to 5% from the current market price.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds may participate and elect to defer receipt of part or all of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of open-end First American Funds, preselected by each Director. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds, until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(3) Expenses
  Investment Advisory Fees

Pursuant to investment advisory agreements with each fund (each an "Agreement"), FAF Advisors, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages the funds' assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. For ASP, BSP, and CSP, the Agreement provides FAF Advisors with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.20% of the respective fund's average weekly net assets and 4.50% of the daily gross income accrued by such fund during the month (i.e., investment income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of premiums, other than gains from the sale of securities or gains from options and futures contracts less interest on money borrowed by the funds). The monthly investment advisory fee shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 1/12 of 0.725% of the respective fund's average weekly net assets during the month (approximately 0.725% on an annual basis). For SLA, the Agreement provides FAF Advisors with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.50% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fees, FAF Advisors provides investment advice and, in general, conducts the management and investment activities of the funds.

The funds may invest in money market funds that are a series of First American Funds, Inc., subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to FAF Advisors, which acts as the investment advisor to these funds and the related money market funds, FAF Advisors will reimburse to each fund an amount equal to the investment advisory fees received from the related money market funds that are attributable to the assets of that fund.

Administrative Fees

FAF Advisors serves as the funds' administrator pursuant to administration agreements between FAF Advisors and each fund. Under these agreements, FAF Advisors receives a monthly administrative

First American Mortgage Funds 2008 Semiannual Report
16



fee from each fund in an amount equal to 0.25% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fee, FAF Advisors provides numerous services to the funds including, but not limited to, handling the general business affairs, financial and regulatory reporting, and various other services.

Custodian Fees

U.S. Bank serves as each fund's custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with the funds. The custodian fee charged to each fund is equal to an annual rate of 0.02% of such fund's average weekly net assets. These fees are computed weekly and paid monthly.

Under the custodian agreement, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used reduce to portion of each fund's custodian expenses. These credits, if any, are disclosed as "Indirect payments from the custodian" in the Statement of Operations. Conversely, the custodian charges a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred which will increase the fund's custodian expenses. For the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, custodian fees for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were increased by $53, $0, $0, and $750 as a result of overdrafts and reduced by $1,672, $2,115, $1,269, and $230 as a result of interest earned, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Fees

The funds may enter into mortgage servicing agreements with mortgage servicers for whole loans and participation mortgages. For a fee, mortgage servicers maintain loan records, such as insurance and taxes and the proper allocation of payments between principal and interest.

Other Fees and Expenses

In addition to the investment advisory, administrative, custodian, and mortgage servicing fees, the funds are responsible for paying most other operating expenses, including: legal, auditing and accounting services, postage and printing of shareholder reports, transfer agent fees and expenses, listing fees, outside directors' fees and expenses, insurance, interest, expenses related to real estate owned, fees to outside parties retained to assist in conducting due diligence, taxes, and other miscellaneous expenses. For the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, legal fees and expenses of $3,627, $3,627, $3,627, $3,627 for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA, respectively, were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the funds is a partner.

Expenses that are directly related to a fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses of the First American Family of Funds are allocated to the funds on several bases, including evenly across all funds, allocated based on relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds or a combination of both methods.

(4) Investment Security Transactions
  Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities and real estate, other than temporary investments in short-term securities, for the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, were as follows:

Fund   Cost of Purchases   Proceeds from Sales  
AS   $ 9,469,808     $ 10,734,227    
BSP     132,422,642       123,967,671    
CSP     140,619,312       108,551,375    
SLA     54,497,250       37,907,332    

 

Included in proceeds from sales for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $86,000, $46,753, $0, and $37,500, respectively, from prepayment penalties.

(5) Capital Loss Carryover
  For federal income tax purposes, the funds had capital loss carryovers at August 31, 2007, the funds' most recently completed fiscal year-end, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire on the funds' fiscal year-ends as follows:

    Expiration  
Fund   2008   2009   2010   2011   2012   2013   2014   2015   Total  
AS   $     $ 737,067     $ 267,385     $     $     $     $     $     $ 1,004,452    
BSP                                         2,858,586             2,858,586    
CSP                                               551,492       551,492    
SLA                                                        

 

  CSP incurred losses of $539,585, for tax purposes, for the period from November 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007. As permitted by tax regulations, the funds intend to elect to defer and treat those losses as arising in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008.

(6) Indemnifications
  The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

(7) New Accounting Pronouncements
  On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The funds have adopted FIN 48 and as of February 29, 2008, the funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February 29, 2008, the funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will materially impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported in the Statement of Operations for the fiscal period.

(8) Subsequent Event
  Prior to the termination date of the loan agreements entered into between Morgan Stanley and each of the funds, as described in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements, Morgan Stanley notified the funds that it did not intend to extend such agreements. The funds and Morgan Stanley subsequently negotiated an amendment of the loan agreements, extending the termination date to June 23, 2008, with the following conditions: (1) at the request of Morgan Stanley, if a fund has not received a binding commitment to refinance its loan agreement by May 22, 2008, such fund must repay all outstanding amounts owing to Morgan Stanley; and (2) the funds are required to prepay, on or before May 7, 2008, an aggregate amount of $75,000,000, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with such aggregate amount to be paid by the funds on a pro rata basis according to the unpaid principal balance of each fund's borrowings. The funds are in the

process of negotiating refinancing arrangements with other potential lenders. If the funds are unable to obtain binding commitments to refinance the loan agreements, the funds may be required to repay all amounts owing to Morgan Stanley. In order to satisfy such repayment obligations, it may be necessary for the funds to sell assets at a time that could prevent the funds from realizing prices considered to be advantageous.
