We are pleased to inform you that the plan of reorganization has been approved by the Kelmoore Strategic Trust
shareholders. As of September 26, 2008 any shares you had in the Kelmoore Strategy®, Kelmoore Strategy®
Eagle and Kelmoore Strategy® Liberty Funds were converted into shares of the Dunham Monthly Distribution
Fund. As part of the reorganization, we would like to inform you about important changes you will see.
- The account number for your new Dunham Funds account will be the same as your Kelmoore Funds account number.
You will receive one statement for July 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008 which will report both your Kelmoore
Funds and Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund activity for the period. Activity for the Kelmoore Strategy Money Market
Fund will be reported separately. Dunham Funds offers electronic delivery of confirmations, statements and regulatory

September 19, 2008 letter to Kelmoore Money Market Investors
Any automatic investment or systematic withdraw instructions you have set up with the Kelmoore Funds will carry over
uninterrupted to your Dunham Fund account on the 25th of each month. If you had automatic investments into or
systematic withdrawals from multiple Kelmoore Strategy® Funds, they will be combined into one investment or
withdrawal from the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund. For example, systematic withdrawals of $300 from the Kelmoore
Strategy® Liberty Fund and $400 from the Kelmoore Strategy® Eagle Fund will be combined to one $700 systematic
withdrawal from the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund. Should you wish to change these amounts, please complete either a
Non-Retirement Account Maintenance
or IRA Distribution form.
The Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund seeks to pay monthly distributions to its shareholders at an annual rate equal to
Prime, which is currently 5%, although this is not guaranteed. This distribution will occur on the last day of each
month, payable on the first business day of the following month. If you want your systematic withdrawal or investment
to coincide with the monthly distribution, please complete either an
Non-Retirement Account Maintenance or
IRA Distribution form and return to Shareholder Services.
For your convenience, the 2008 tax information for the Kelmoore Funds (excluding the Kelmoore Strategy® Money
Market Fund) and for the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund will be reported on one combined 1099 which will be sent
to you by January 31, 2009. The 2008 tax information for the Kelmoore Strategy Money Market Fund will be sent to
you separately.
We thank you for your support during this transition and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship
with you. Please visit www.dunham.com for updates regarding the reorganization and your account. If you have
any questions about this letter, please contact the Shareholder Services support line toll-free at (888) 3DUNHAM (338-6426).
