ABSTRACT: We regard functions $\Phi$ that are meromorphic in the unit disk $\Bbb D$ and that are the ratio of an inner function and a finite Blaschke product, where the degree of an inner function is no less that degree of finite Blaschke product. Let $\Omega_{\Phi}=\{z\in\Bbb D: |\Phi(z)|>1\}$. Then the function $\Phi$ can be extended to a continuous function on $\operatorname{clos}\Omega_{\Phi}$ and the image under $\Phi$ of the intersection of $\partial\Omega_{\Phi}$ and of the unit circle is of zero Lebesgue measure if and only if the intersection of $\partial\Omega_{\Phi}$ and of the unit circle is of zero Lebesgue measure.[Full text: (.ps.gz)]
