CNA has an agreement with the financial institution allowing CNA to borrow and withdraw funds up to a percentage of the securities' current fair market value (purchasing power) using the underlying securities as collateral. The agreement also allows the investment advisor to purchase new securities by borrowing against the existing underlying securities. Payment of any balance of borrowed funds is due upon demand. The agreement also calls for CNA to remit funds, either directly or by selling the underlying securities, whenever the balance of funds borrowed exceeds the allowed percentage of their fair market value. Interest is paid on the average balance of borrowed funds on a monthly basis and rate varies depending on the total amount of funds outstanding. The interest rate was 5.375% with interest expense totaling $9,688 for the year ended June 30, 2004. The interest rate ranged from 5.996% to 7.375% with interest expense totaling $1,016 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The agreement does not stipulate a termination date as long as investment securities are held by the financial institution. CNA made net direct withdrawals totaling $455,702 from the investment account and made net direct payments totaling $225,000 into the investment account during the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest, dividends, sales proceeds, and other receipts reduced the total amount of funds borrowed. Purchases of assets and expenses including the monthly interest charged on the borrowed funds increased the amount of funds borrowed. The balance of funds borrowed and amount due was $173,592 at June 30, 2004. CALIFORNIA NURSES ASSOCIATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Note 6 - Assets Designated for Specific Programs In accordance with CNA's bylaws, constitution, or by direction of the Board a portion of dues paid by each member is designated for specific purposes.

In addition, the Regions contributed $290,500 in dues to the Direct Mail program during the year ended June 30, 2003.
