Sidebar text: We remain convinced that maintaining a well-balanced portfolio is
an important way to help you reduce overall investment risk.



Dear SHAREHOLDER

I am pleased to report that over the period covered by this report both JPC and
JQC essentially completed their initial investment processes, paid attractive
monthly dividends and generated appealing cumulative returns. While it is too
early to draw many conclusions about the overall performance of either Fund, we
believe both provided investors with a quality-oriented portfolio and the
opportunity for additional asset class diversification within their overall
investment portfolios.

We remain convinced that maintaining a well-balanced portfolio, structured and
monitored with the help of an investment professional, is an important way to
help you reduce overall investment risk and position yourself to achieve your
long-term financial goals. In this context, the blended asset classes in your
Fund may be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted to perform well
through a variety of market conditions.

For more information on the specific performance of the Funds, I urge you to
read the portfolio managers' perspective and performance overview pages in this
report. I also ask you to consider receiving future Fund reports and other
information electronically via the Internet and e-mail rather than in hard copy.
Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but this also may
help lower Fund expenses. Sign up is quick and easy - see the inside front cover
of this report for details.

Thank you for the confidence you have shown in Nuveen Investments. For more than
100 years, Nuveen Investments has specialized in offering quality investments to
those seeking to accumulate and preserve wealth. Our mission continues to be to
assist you and your financial advisor by offering the services and products that
can help you meet your financial objectives.

Sincerely,

/s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger

NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUNDS (JPC, JQC)


Managers' PERSPECTIVE

The Funds are managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. (NIAC), and
subadvised by a team of specialists from Spectrum Asset Management, Inc.,
Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc., and NIAC. Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal
CapitalSM, manages the preferred securities portions of the Funds' portfolios.
Froley, Revy, one of the oldest firms specializing in convertible securities,
manages that portion of both Fund's portfolios, while NIAC manages the high
yield securities and other debt instruments in both Funds. Here representatives
from Spectrum, Froley, Revy and NIAC talk about general economic conditions,
fund performance and their management strategies for the reporting period ended
January 31, 2004.

WHAT WAS THE GENERAL MARKET ENVIRONMENT FOR PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
AND HIGH YIELD DEBT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004?

Looking at preferred securities first, market conditions for most of this period
were favorable. As a result, preferred securities were among the best performers
within the fixed-income sector for the 12 months ended January 31, 2004. Both
individual and institutional investors were aggressive buyers of preferred
securities during this period because, in our opinion, of the attractive yields
that preferred securities offered relative to alternative investments. The
credit quality environment, especially among the financial industry- oriented
issuers, was positive, reflecting improvement in the general economy and in the
equity markets. New issuance of preferred securities was robust over the period,
with a total of $42.1 billion coming to market during 2003. As of December 31,
2003, the size of the hybrid preferred securities market, in which the Funds
primarily invest, was approximately $219 billion.

Generally, conditions also were favorable in the convertible securities market
during the reporting period. For the six month period ending January 31, 2004,
the convertible securities market, as measured by Merrill Lynch's All U. S.
Convertible Index, provided a total return of 14.56%. This return represented
about 75% of the NASDAQ 100 Index's return over the same period, and 95% of the
S&P 500 Index's six month return. While convertibles performed well, they did
not capture as much of the equity index gains as some might have expected
because much of the convertible market during this period was trading primarily
as yield alternatives with very low sensitivity to equity market movements.

In addition, the high yield securities market performed well during the
reporting period. All 23 sectors of the CSFB High Yield Index provided positive
returns for the fourth quarter and full year of 2003. Lower-rated bonds and
loans significantly outperformed the middle and upper tier, due in our opinion
to investors' increased risk appetites and the improved high yield environment.
Default rates in the leveraged loan market continued to improve throughout 2003,
falling to 2.92% from 7.32%. Importantly, distressed high yield debt declined
90% in 2003, to $5.8 billion from $59.0 billion. In addition, the ratio of
upgraded to downgraded issues increased in 2003 for the first time in five
years.

IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?

The portfolios of both Funds contain allocations of preferred, convertible and
high yield securities. Cumulative total returns for the periods from the Funds'
inceptions through January 31, 2004, are shown in the nearby chart, along with
the performance over similar periods of some widely-followed unmanaged,
unleveraged indexes of the major asset classes in which the Funds invest.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN ON NET ASSET VALUE

  (3/31/03 - 1/31/04)                                21.99%

JQC (inception 6/25/03 - 1/31/04)                    10.35%
Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid
  Securities Index1 (6/30/03-1/31/04)                 3.71%
Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible
  Index2 (6/30/03 - 1/31/04)                         14.88%

  (6/30/03 - 1/31/04)                                11.16%
-----------------------------------------------------------

During much of the performance periods shown here, both Funds were engaged in
the initial investment of the proceeds raised from their common and preferred
share offerings. While we are generally pleased with the performance of the
Funds since their


1    The Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index is an unmanaged
     index of investment-grade, exchange-traded preferred stocks with
     outstanding market values of at least $30 million and at least one year to
     maturity.

2    The Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index consists of approximately 575
     convertible securities with par value greater than $50 million that were
     issued by U.S. companies or non-U.S. based issuers that have a significant
     business presence in the U.S.

3    The CSFB High Yield Index includes approximately $375 billion of
     $US-denominated high yield debt with a minimum of $75 million in par value
     and at least one rating below investment-grade.


                                       2



inceptions, we think that a few months of initial data provide little basis for
a proper evaluation of Fund performance. The cumulative Fund returns shown here
lie between the returns posted by indexes representing the asset classes in
which the Funds primarily invest. We believe this was to be expected, given the
blended nature of both Funds' portfolios.

Both Funds provided attractive monthly income during the reporting period. Each
Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected
performance of the Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly
dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the
amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period.
If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will
hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part
of the Fund's net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in
dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII
balance which will likewise be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. Each
Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to
shareholders. As of January 31, 2004, both Funds had negative UNII.

As of January 31, 2004, both JPC and JQC were trading at discounts to their
respective net asset values. For additional performance information, please see
the individual Performance Overview pages for your Fund in this report.

WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU EMPLOY IN MANAGING THE FUNDS?

For the preferred securities portion of each Fund's portfolio, we tried to
generate income and enhance total return by looking to exploit inefficiencies
between preferred valuations and senior debt levels, as well as between $25 par
listed preferred shares and $1000 par unlisted preferred capital securities of
the same issuer. In addition, we sought to lessen the potential effects of
higher interest rates by focusing on higher coupon, "cushioned" issues trading
at a premium to par in the secondary market. When they were available, we
believed these cushioned securities represented better value than many of the
new issues reflecting today's relatively low interest rates.

Looking at the convertible securities allocations, both Funds were positioned
initially to balance income needs with the desire for capital gains. Generally,
we looked for securities with greater equity-tracking sensitivity when we had
strong views on the attractiveness of either a sector or a specific company. As
of January 31, 2004, about 10% of both Funds' convertible securities allocations
were hedged in an effort to reduce overall risk and increase cash flow.

With the high-yield allocations, we concentrated on finding what we thought were
higher- quality credits with strong fundamental business models, diversified
revenue streams and relatively less earnings volatility. We focused on investing
the assets across multiple sectors such as gaming/lodging, home- building,
retail, media and food.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share New York
Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund (JPC)
and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 (JQC). The Funds are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified,
closed-end management investment companies.

Prior to the commencement of operations of the Funds, each Fund had no
operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial
capital contribution of $100,275 per Fund by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp.
(the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and the
recording of the organization expenses ($11,500 per Fund) and their
reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of
Nuveen Investments, Inc.

Each Fund seeks to provide high current income by investing primarily in a
portfolio of preferred securities, convertible securities, and related
instruments. Each Fund may also invest in other debt instruments and common
stocks acquired upon conversion of a convertible security.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Securities Valuation

Exchange-listed securities are generally valued at the last sales price on the
securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities
traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given
day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of
the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the
Nasdaq Official Closing Price. The prices of fixed-income securities are
generally provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds'
Board of Trustees and based on the mean between the bid and asked prices. When
price quotes are not readily available for fixed-income securities, the pricing
service establishes fair market value using a wide range of market data
including yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, type of issue,
coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from security dealers,
evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions
and other information and analysis, including the obligor's credit
characteristics considered relevant by the pricing service. If it is determined
that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of
Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the
security. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.

Securities Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have
extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At January 31, 2004,
there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in either of the Funds.

Investment Income

Dividend income and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes the amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is
recorded on an accrual basis (see Dividends and Distributions to Common
Shareholders for REIT income recognition policy).

Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all
of its net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income
tax provision is required.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital
gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not
less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only
to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

The Funds make certain adjustments, at different points in time, to the
character of both (a) the distributions received by the Funds from REITs, and
(b) dividends to Fund shareholders to the extent that such dividends are
attributable to REIT distributions received by the Funds.


                                       45




Notes to
    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)



Characterization of Receipts from REITs - Distributions from REITs are generally
comprised of investment income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and/or a
return of REIT capital. The actual character of the amounts received by a Fund
from REITs during the period is not known until after the fiscal year-end of the
Funds. For the six months ended January 31, 2004, each Fund applied percentage
estimates (of whether the receipts represented investment income, long-term and
short-term capital gains, or return of capital), based on historical experience,
to its receipts from the REITs and treated as income in the Statement of
Operations only the amount of investment income so calculated. Each Fund will
adjust that estimated breakdown of income type (and consequently its net
investment income) as necessary in the subsequent calendar year when the REITs
inform their shareholders of the actual breakdown of income type.

Characterization of Fund Distributions to Shareholders Derived from
Distributions from REITs - During the six months ended January 31, 2004, each
Fund treated each distribution to its shareholders, to the extent that such
distribution was attributable to receipts from portfolio REITs, as being
entirely from net investment income, because the character of such distributions
made during the period is not known until after the fiscal year-end of the
Funds. Each Fund recharacterizes those distributions as being from ordinary
income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital, if
necessary, in the subsequent calendar year, based upon the income type breakdown
information conveyed at that time by the REITs whose securities are held in the
Fund's portfolio. Consequently, the financial statements may reflect an
over-distribution of net investment income that is at least partly attributable
to the fact that, as of the date of the financial statements, some of the
amounts received by the Funds from the portfolio REITs, but none of the
dividends paid by the Funds to shareholders from the portfolio REITs during the
period, were treated as something other than ordinary income.

Distributions to Common shareholders of net investment income and net realized
capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and
timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

FundPreferred Shares

The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value FundPreferred shares.
Each Fund's FundPreferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The
dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a
dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of
each rate period. The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for
each Fund is as follows:

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

The Funds are authorized to enter into hedging transactions, including interest
rate swap transactions. The Funds use interest rate swaps with the intent to
reduce or eliminate the risk that an increase in short-term interest rates could
have on Common share net earnings as a result of leverage. Interest rate swaps
involve each Fund's agreement with the swap counterparty to pay a fixed rate
payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment
that is intended to approximate each Fund's variable rate payment obligation on
FundPreferred shares or any variable rate borrowing. The payment obligation is
based on the notional amount of the swap. Interest rate swaps do not involve the
delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the
risk of credit loss with respect to the swap counterparty on interest rate swaps
is limited to the net amount of interest payments that each Fund is to receive.
The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value
at least equal to the amount of the net payment obligations under any interest
rate swap transactions. Interest rate swap positions are marked to market daily.
Although there are economic advantages of entering into interest rate swap
transactions, there are also additional risks. The Funds help manage the credit
risks associated with interest rate swap transactions by entering into
agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser continually
monitor the financial stability of the swap counterparties.

At January 31, 2004, Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) had open interest
rate swap agreements as follows:

Short Sales

The Funds may make short sales of securities if, at all times when a short
position is open, the Funds own at least an equal amount of such securities or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, without payment of any further
consideration, securities of the same issuer as, and at least equal in amount
to, the securities sold short.

The Funds will borrow the securities sold short from a broker-dealer through
which the short sale is executed and the broker-dealer will deliver such
securities, on behalf of the Funds, to the purchaser of such securities. Such
broker-dealer will be entitled to retain the proceeds from the short sale until
the Funds deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short. In addition,
the Funds will be required to pay the broker-dealer the amount of any dividends
or interest paid on securities sold short. Finally, to secure its obligation to
deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short, the Funds have
instructed the custodian to segregate assets in an equivalent amount of the
securities sold short or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
securities.


                                       47



Notes to
    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)



Short sales may protect the Funds against the risk of losses in the value of
their portfolio securities because any unrealized losses with respect to such
portfolio securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding
gain in the short position. However, any potential gain in such portfolio
securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding loss in the
short position. The extent to which such gains or losses are offset will depend
upon the amount of securities sold short relative to the amount the Funds own,
either directly or indirectly, and, in the case where the Funds own convertible
securities, changes in the conversion premium. The Funds will incur transaction
costs in connection with short sales.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's
policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral
securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the
repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller
defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the
collateral may be delayed or limited.

Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in options and futures contracts, credit derivative
instruments, and currency exchange transactions for the purpose of hedging their
portfolios. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial
instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments
during the six months ended January 31, 2004.

Organization and Offering Costs

Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to reimburse all organization expenses
(approximately $11,500 per Fund) and pay all Common share offering costs (other
than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Preferred and
Convertible Income (JPC) and Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC). Preferred
and Convertible Income's (JPC) and Preferred and Convertible Income 2's (JQC)
share of Common share offering costs ($1,745,630 and $1,762,420, respectively)
were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares.

Costs incurred by Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) and Preferred and
Convertible Income 2 (JQC) in connection with their offering of FundPreferred
shares ($14,589,842 and $19,723,013, respectively) were recorded as a reduction
to paid-in surplus.

Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The following information is presented on an income tax basis based on the
information currently available to the Funds. Differences between amounts for
financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the
recognition of income on certain securities, which are treated as debt
securities for income tax purposes and equity securities for financial statement
purposes, and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on
security transactions.

At January 31, 2004, the cost of investments were as follows:

*Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends,

Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) elected to defer net realized losses
from investments incurred from November 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003
("post-October losses") in accordance with Federal income tax regulations.
Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) had $1,550,040 of post-October losses
that are treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year.

Calculation of certain of the amounts presented above (namely, undistributed net
ordinary income for tax purposes) involves the application of complex aspects of
the Internal Revenue Code to certain securities held by the Funds. In
calculating the amount of taxable income derived from these securities,
management made assumptions as to the correct tax treatment of certain of those
securities and made estimates about the tax characteristics of income received
from those securities, based on information currently available to the Funds.
The use of these assumptions and estimates will not affect the qualification of
the Funds as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code, nor is it expected that these assumptions and estimates will be
used in computing taxable income for purposes of preparing the federal and state
income and excise tax returns.

5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Under each Fund's investment management agreement with the Adviser, each Fund

which are based upon each Fund's average daily managed assets. "Managed Assets"
means the average daily net assets of each Fund including assets attributable to
FundPreferred shares and the principal amount of borrowings, if any.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser has entered
into Sub-Advisory Agreements with Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum"),
and Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc. (Froley, Revy). Spectrum manages the
portion of the Fund's investment portfolio allocated to preferred securities
while Froley, Revy manages the portion of the investment portfolio allocated to
convertible securities. Spectrum and Foley, Revy are compensated for their
services to the Funds from the management fee paid to the Adviser. Spectrum also
receives compensation on certain portfolio transactions for providing brokerage
services to the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the overall strategy and
asset allocation decisions as well as managing the portion of the investment
portfolio allocated to other debt securities.

The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are
affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration
for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates.

Build Your Wealth
       AUTOMATICALLY

Sidebar text: Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set
up your reinvestment account.


NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest
dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding.

It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

EASY AND CONVENIENT

To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED

The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase
shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend
payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting
reinvestment. Because the market price of shares may increase before purchases
are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price
at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if
the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro
rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases
will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than
those charged on individual transactions.

FLEXIBILITY

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in
or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at
(800) 257-8787.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It
expresses the return (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that
would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual
performance over the time period being considered.

NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A fund's NAV is calculated by subtracting the liabilities
of the fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number
of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.

---------
Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in
the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the period ended January 31, 2004. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.
