PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed with the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)

     We seek relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b) to file a late Form 10-Q. The Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2003 could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the subject quarterly report will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date of November 14, 2003.

     The SEC and the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”) are investigating practices in the mutual fund industry identified as “market timing” and “late trading” of mutual fund shares. Alliance Capital has been cooperating with these authorities and has been conducting its own internal investigation into these matters. In addition to the SEC’s and the NYAG’s investigations, numerous private plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against Alliance Capital making a variety of allegations relating to market timing and late trading. Based on the latest information available to it, management of Alliance Capital recently decided to record a $190 million charge to income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 in connection with these matters. We are delaying the filing of our Form 10-Q in order to reflect the effect of the charge where necessary in the Form 10-Q.
