                             DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

    The Fund is an open-end  diversified  management  investment  company. It is
called a no-load Fund because its shares are sold without a sales charge.

                 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS

    Lexington  SmallCap  Value  Fund (the  "Fund") is an  open-end,  diversified
management  investment  company.  The  Fund's  investment  objective  is to seek
long-term  capital  appreciation.  The Fund will seek to  obtain  its  objective
through  investment in common stocks and  equivalents of companies  domiciled in
the United States with a market capitalization of less than $1 billion which the
Sub-Adviser  believes offer  exceptional  relative value and attractive  prices.
Production of income is incidental to this objective.  The Fund's portfolio will
be  invested  primarily  in  equities  listed  on stock  exchanges  or traded in
over-the-counter  markets in the U.S.  The Fund may invest in  Canadian or other
foreign  domiciled  companies  whose  shares  trade in U.S.  dollar  denominated
markets.

                                       2

<PAGE>

    The  Fund  will  seek to  achieve  its  objective  through  investment  in a
diversified  portfolio  of  securities  that will consist of all types of common
stocks and equivalents (the following constitute equivalents:  warrants, options
and convertible  debt  securities).  There is no assurance that the Fund will be
able to achieve its investment objective.

    Except  for   defensive  or  liquidity   purposes,   the  Fund  will  invest
substantially  all (at least 90%) of its assets in small companies  domiciled in
the U..S which have market  capitalization  (based on aggregate  market value of
outstanding  shares)  between  $20  million  and  $1  billion  at  the  time  of
investment.  The  remainder  of its assets (no more than 10%) may be invested in
securities of companies  with market  capitalizations  below $20 million;  above
$1,000,000,000;  domiciled  outside the U.S. if its shares trade in U.S. markets
in dollar  denominations;  in American Depository Shares or Receipts ("ADR's" or
"ADS's"),  real estate investment trusts ("REIT's) and/or in cash and equivalent
securities. The Fund does not currently intend to invest in securities which, at
the time of  purchase,  are not readily  marketable;  in  securities  of foreign
issuers  denominated in foreign  currencies;  or in futures contracts.  The Fund
will not engage in  short-selling  activities,  leverage  or  portfolio  hedging
techniques.  At any  time  the  Sub-Adviser  deems it  advisable  for  temporary
defensive  or  liquidity  purposes,  the Fund may hold all its assets in cash or
cash  equivalents and invest in, or hold unlimited  amounts of, debt obligations
of the United States government or its political subdivisions,  and money market
instruments  including  repurchase  agreements  with maturities of seven days or
less and Certificates of Deposit.

    The Fund's investment portfolio may include repurchase agreements with banks
and dealers in U.S. Government  securities.  A repurchase agreement involves the
purchase by the Fund of an  investment  contract from a bank or a dealer in U.S.
Government  securities  which contract is secured by debt securities whose value
is equal to or greater than the value of the repurchase  agreement including the
agreed  upon  interest.   The  agreement  provides  that  the  institution  will
repurchase the underlying securities at an agreed upon time and price. The total
amount  received  on  repurchase  would  exceed  the  price  paid  by the  Fund,
reflecting  an agreed upon rate of interest  for the period from the date of the
repurchase  agreement to the  settlement  date,  and would not be related to the
interest rate on the underlying  securities.  The  difference  between the total
amount to be received upon the  repurchase of the  securities and the price paid
by the  Fund  upon  their  acquisition  is  accrued  daily as  interest.  If the
institution  defaults  on  the  repurchase  agreement,   the  Fund  will  retain
possession of the underlying securities.  In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings
are commenced  with respect to the seller,  realization on the collateral by the
Fund may be delayed or limited and the Fund may incur additional  costs. In such
case the Fund will be subject  to risks  associated  with  changes in the market
value of collateral securities.  The Fund intends to limit repurchase agreements
to transactions with institutions believed by the Sub-Adviser to present minimal
credit risk.

    The Fund's  overall  approach to  investing  in small  capitalization  value
stocks is based upon  research  performed  by its  Sub-Adviser  which shows that
extremely  undervalued  companies offer potential for high returns over time and
excellent  diversification  versus other domestic equity investment styles. This
strategy may under-emphasize widely followed, institutional favorites and result
in holdings of stocks with little "Wall  Street" or outside  research  coverage.
Advantages of investing in distressed and/or neglected issues based on internal,
fundamental research include:

        *low valuations that offer some downside protection

        *lack of  institutional  ownership  that  results in return  streams not
         highly correlated with market indices

        *potential  for upside  surprises  that is  increased  as stocks  exceed
         minimal expectations and are "discovered" by other investors

        *low  transaction  costs  based  solely on best  execution  rather  than
         research commitments.

    The  companies in which the Fund intends to invest will  generally  have the
following characteristics:

        *a market capitalization of less than $1 billion

        *a high relative ratio of revenue per share to stock price

        *a low relative ratio of price to book value per share

        *a positive cash flow and other measures of financial stability

        *a low stock price relative to historical levels.

    By following these criteria, the Fund intends to select securities which can
have enhanced appreciation prospects and may provide investment returns superior
to the  market  as a whole.  However,  the  market  value  of  these  companies'
securities  tends to be volatile and in the past offered  greater  potential for
gain as well as loss than securities of larger capitalization companies.

                                       3

<PAGE>

Special  Considerations.  An investor  should be aware that  investment in small
capitalization  issuers carry more risk than issuers with market  capitalization
greater than $1 billion.  Generally,  small  companies  rely on limited  product
lines,  financial  resources,  and business  activities  that may make them more
susceptible to setbacks or downturns.  In addition,  the stock of such companies
may be more thinly traded.  As a result,  in order to sell this type of security
the  Fund  may  need  to  dispose  of such  securities  over a long  period  and
accordingly,  the  performance  of  small  capitalization  issuers  may be  more
volatile.

    Investments by the Fund of up to 10% of its total assets in the common stock
of foreign  companies which are traded in the United States or in ADR's or ADS's
may involve considerations and risks that are different in certain respects from
an investment in securities of U.S. companies.  Such risks include the effect of
currency fluctuations on the value of Fund shares, the imposition of withholding
taxes on  interest  or  dividends,  possible  adoption  of foreign  governmental
restrictions on repatriation of income or capital  investment,  or other adverse
political or economic  developments.  Additionally,  it may be more difficult to
enforce the rights of a security holder against a foreign company.  There may be
delays in  settling  securities  transactions  in certain  foreign  markets  and
information  about the operations of foreign  companies may be more difficult to
obtain and evaluate.

    With  respect  to the  Fund's  investment  in debt  securities,  there is no
requirement  that all such  securities be rated by a recognized  rating  agency.
However,  it is the  policy of the Fund  that  investments  in debt  securities,
whether  rated or unrated,  will be made only if they are, in the opinion of the
Sub-Adviser, of equivalent quality to "investment grade" securities. "Investment
grade"  securities  are those rated  within the four highest  quality  grades as
determined by Moody's Investors Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's
Corporation  ("Standard & Poor's").  Securities  rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by
Standard & Poor's are judged to be of the best  quality  and carry the  smallest
degree of risk.  Securities  rated Baa by Moody's  and BBB by  Standard & Poor's
lack high quality  investment  characteristics  and, in fact,  have  speculative
characteristics as well. Debt securities are interest-rate sensitive;  therefore
their value will tend to decrease  when  interest  rates rise and increase  when
interest rates fall. Such increase or decrease in the value of longer-term  debt
instruments  as a result of  interest  rate  movement  will be  larger  than the
increase or decrease in value of shorter-term debt instruments.

    The Statement of Additional  Information  contains a complete description of
the Fund's  restrictions and any additional  information on policies relating to
the investment of its assets and its activities.

                               PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

    Although  the Fund does not  generally  intend to invest for the  purpose of
seeking  short-term  profits,   the  Fund's  investments  may  be  changed  when
circumstances  warrant,  without  regard  to the  length  of  time a  particular
security  has been  held.  It is  expected  that the Fund  will  have an  annual
portfolio  turnover  rate that will  generally  not exceed 100%. A 100% turnover
rate would occur if all the Fund's  portfolio  investments  were sold and either
repurchased  or  replaced  within a year.  A high  turnover  rate (100% or more)
results in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional
expenses which are borne by the Fund. High portfolio  turnover may result in the
realization of net short-term  capital gains by the Fund which, when distributed
to shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income. See "Tax Matters."

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

    The  business  affairs of the Fund are managed  under the  direction  of its
Board of  Directors.  There  are  currently  eight  Directors  (of whom five are
non-affiliated  persons)  who meet  four  times  each  year.  The  Statement  of
Additional  Information contains additional  information regarding the directors
and officers of the Fund.

                               PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

    The Fund is managed by a portfolio  management  team.  The lead managers are
Robb W.  Rowe,  CFA and Dennis J.  Hamilton,  CFA of  Capital  Technology,  Inc.
("CTI"),  the  Sub-Advisor  . Both  Mr.  Rowe  and Mr.  Hamilton  are  Chartered
Financial  Analysts and members of the Association  for Investment  Management &
Research and the North Carolina Society of Financial Analysts.

    Robb Rowe is President and principal  shareholder  of CTI. He is responsible
for the Fund's overall  investment  strategy.  Mr. Rowe joined CTI in 1982 after
being Vice  President and Regional  Manager of AG Becker Co. He is a graduate of
Ripon College and has an MBA from the  University of Chicago in 1971. Mr. Rowe's
investment management career began over 20 years ago.

    Dennis  Hamilton  is Vice  President  and  Portfolio  Manager of CTI.  He is
responsible for issue selection and the day to day investment  activities of the
Fund.  Mr.  Hamilton  joined  CTI in 1994  after  being a  Principal  at  Mercer
Investment Consulting, Inc. He has 

                                       4

         INVESTMENT ADVISER, SUB-ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR

    The Fund has entered into an investment  advisory  contract  with  Lexington
Management  Corporation  ("LMC"),  P.O. Box 1515, Park 80 West Plaza Two, Saddle
Brook, New Jersey 07663. LMC provides  investment advice and in general conducts
the  management  and investment  program of the Fund under the  supervision  and
control  of the  Directors  of the Fund.  LMC has  entered  into a  sub-advisory
contract with CTI,  McMullen  Creek Office Center,  P.O. Box 472428,  Charlotte,
North  Carolina  28247,  under which CTI will  provide the Fund with  investment
advice  and  management  of  the  Fund's  investment  program.  Lexington  Funds
Distributor,   Inc.   ("LFD"),   a  registered  broker  dealer,  is  the  Fund's
distributor.

    LMC, established in 1938, currently manages over $3.0 billion in assets. LMC
serves as  investment  adviser to other  investment  companies  and  private and
institutional investment accounts.  Included among these clients are persons and
organizations  which own  significant  amounts of capital stock of LMC's parent.
The  clients  pay fees  which  LMC  considers  comparable  to the  fees  paid by
similarly served clients.

    CTI was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1977 and invests exclusively
in domestic smaller  capitalization  stocks.  CTI currently  manages assets both
small and mid cap growth and value styles for primarily institutional clients.

    As compensation for its services, the Fund pays LMC a monthly management fee
at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets.  This fee is higher
than  that  paid  by  most  other  investment  companies.  However,  it  is  not
necessarily  greater than the management fee of other investment  companies with
objectives  and  policies  similar  to this  Fund.  LMC will  pay CTI an  annual
sub-advisory  fee  of  .50%  of  the  Fund's  average  daily  net  assets.   The
sub-advisory fee will be paid by LMC, not the Fund. See "Investment  Adviser and
Distributor" in the Statement of Additional Information.

    LMC  also  acts  as   administrator   to  the  Fund  and  performs   certain
administrative and internal accounting  services,  including but not limited to,
maintaining  general  ledger  accounts,  regulatory  compliance,  preparation of
financial information for semiannual and annual reports,  preparing registration
statements,  calculating net asset values, producing shareholder  communications
and  supervision  of the custodian,  transfer agent and provides  facilities for
such  services.  The Fund shall  reimburse  LMC for its actual cost in providing
such services, facilities and expenses.

    LMC  and  LFD  are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  Lexington  Global  Asset
Managers,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation with offices at Park 80 West Plaza Two,
Saddle Brook, New Jersey 07663.  Descendants of Lunsford Richardson,  Sr., their
spouses,  trusts and other related  entities have a majority  voting  control of
outstanding  shares of Lexington  Global Asset  Managers,  Inc. See  "Investment
Adviser and Distributor" in the Statement of Additional Information.

                             HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

Initial  Investment-Minimum  $1,000.  By Mail: Send a check payable to Lexington
SmallCap  Value Fund,  Inc.,  along with a completed New Account  Application to
State Street Bank and Trust  Company (the  "Agent").  See the back cover of this
Prospectus for the Agent's address.

Subsequent  Investments-Minimum  $50. By Mail: Send a check payable to Lexington
SmallCap  Value Fund,  Inc., to the Agent,  accompanied by either the detachable
form  which  is part of the  confirmation  of a prior  transaction  or a  letter
indicating the dollar amount of the investment and identifying the Fund, account
number and registration.

   
All  checks  for  investment should be in U.S. dollars and made  payable  to the
Lexington SmallCap Value Fund.  The Fund will  not  accept  third-party  checks,
that is, any check made payable to someone other than Lexington  SmallCap  Value
Fund  or  State  Street  Bank  &  Trust  Company  (the  Fund's  Transfer Agent).
    

Broker-Dealers:  You may invest in shares of the Fund through broker-dealers who
are members of the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc., and other
financial institutions and who have selling agreements with LFD.  Broker-dealers
and financial  institutions who process such purchase and sale  transactions for
their customers may charge a transaction fee for these services.  The fee may be
avoided by purchasing shares directly from the Fund.

The Open Account: By investing in the Fund, a shareholder appoints the Agent, as
his agent,  to establish an open account to which all shares  purchased  will be
credited,  together with any dividends and capital gain distributions  which are
paid  in  additional  shares  (see  

                                       5

<PAGE>

"Dividend,  Distribution and Reinvestment  Policy").  Stock certificates will be
issued for full shares only when requested in writing. Unless payment for shares
is made by certified or cashier's check or federal funds wire, certificates will
not be issued for 30 days. In order to  facilitate  redemptions  and  transfers,
most shareholders elect not to receive certificates.

    After an Open  Account  is  established,  payments  can be  provided  for by
"Lex-O-Matic" or other authorized  automatic bank check program accounts (checks
drawn on the  investor's  bank  periodically  for  investment  in the  Fund).  A
shareholder may arrange to make additional  purchases of shares automatically on
a monthly or quarterly basis with the Automatic  Investing Plan,  "Lex-O-Matic".
The  investments  of $50 or more  are  automatically  deducted  from a  checking
account  on or about  the 15th day of each  month.  The  institution  must be an
Automated  Clearing House (ACH) member.  Should an order to purchase shares of a
fund be cancelled  because your automated  transfer does not clear,  you will be
responsible  for any  resulting  loss  incurred  by that fund.  The  shareholder
reserves the right to  discontinue  the  Lex-O-Matic  program  provided  written
notice  is  given  ten days  prior to the  scheduled  investment  date.  Further
information  regarding  this service can be obtained  from  Lexington by calling
1-800-526-0056.

    On payroll  deduction  accounts  administered  by a employer and on payments
into  qualified  pension or profit sharing plans and other  continuing  purchase
programs, there are no minimum purchase requirements.

Purchase Price:  The purchase price will be the net asset value per share of the
Fund next  determined  after  receipt by the Agent of a  completed  New  Account
Application in proper form.

Determination  of Net  Asset  Value:  The net  asset  value  of Fund  shares  is
determined at the official  closing time of the New York Stock Exchange each day
that  such  Exchange  is open for  trading.  In  determining  net  asset  value,
portfolio  securities  listed on a national  securities  exchange  are valued at
their  sales  price on such  exchange  as of such  time;  if no  sales  price is
reported,  the mean of the last bid and asked price is used.  However,  when LMC
deems it appropriate, prices for the day of valuation from a third party pricing
service will be used. For  over-the-counter  securities the mean between the bid
and asked prices is used. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available  and other  assets  shall be valued by Fund  management  in good faith
under the  direction of the Fund's  Board of  Directors.  Short-term  securities
having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost when it is determined by
the Fund's Board of Directors  that  amortized  cost  reflects the fair value of
such securities.  In order to determine net asset value per share, the aggregate
value of portfolio  securities is added to the value of the Fund's other assets,
such as cash and  receivables;  the  total of the  assets  thus  obtained,  less
liabilities, is then divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Terms of  Offering:  If an order to  purchase  shares is  cancelled  because the
investor's  check does not clear, the purchaser will be responsible for any loss
incurred by the Fund.  To recover any such loss the Fund  reserves  the right to
redeem  shares owned by the  purchaser,  seek  reimbursement  directly  from the
purchaser and may prohibit or restrict the purchaser in placing future orders in
any of the Lexington Funds.

    The Fund  reserves the right to reject any order,  and to waive or lower the
investment  minimums  with respect to any person or class of persons,  including
shareholders  of the Fund's special  investment  programs.  An order to purchase
shares is not binding on the Fund until it has been confirmed by the Agent.

Account  Statements:  The Agent  will send  shareholders  either  purchasing  or
redeeming  shares of the Fund, a confirmation of the transaction  indicating the
date the purchase or redemption was accepted,  the number of shares purchased or
redeemed,  the purchase or redemption  price per share, and the amount purchased
or  redemption  proceeds.  A statement is also sent to  shareholders  whenever a
distribution is paid, or when a change in the registration, address, or dividend
option occurs. Shareholders are urged to retain their account statements for tax
purposes.

                              HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

By  Mail:  Send to the  Agent  (see the back  cover of this  Prospectus  for the
address): (1) a written request for redemption,  signed by each registered owner
exactly as the shares are  registered  including  the name of the Fund,  account
number  and  exact  registration;  (2)stock  certificates  for any  shares to be
redeemed  which are held by the  shareholder;  (3)  signature  guarantees,  when
required,   and  (4)  the  additional  documents  required  for  redemptions  by
corporations, executors, administrators, trustees, and guardians. Redemptions by
mail will not become  effective  until all  documents  in proper  form have been
received  by the  Agent.  If a  shareholder  has  any  questions  regarding  the
requirements  for  redeeming  shares,  he should  call the Fund at the toll free
number  on the back  cover  prior  to  submitting  a  redemption  request.  If a
redemption  request is sent to the Fund in New Jersey,  it will be  forwarded to
the Agent and the effective date of redemption  will be the date received by the
Agent.

                                       6


<PAGE>

    Checks for redemption proceeds will normally be mailed within three business
days.  However,  the Fund will only mail redemption checks upon clearance of the
purchase payment.

Signature  Guarantee:  Signature  guarantees are required in connection with (a)
redemptions  by mail  involving  $25,000 or more;  (b) all  redemptions by mail,
regardless of the amount  involved,  when the proceeds are to be paid to someone
other than the registered  owners;  (c) changes in  instructions as to where the
proceeds of redemptions are to be sent, and (d) share transfer requests.

    The Agent requires that the guarantor be either a commercial bank which is a
member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,  a trust company, a savings
and loan  association,  a  savings  bank,  a credit  union,  a member  firm of a
domestic stock exchange,  or a foreign branch of any of the foregoing.  A notary
public is not an acceptable guarantor.

    With  respect  to  redemption  requests  submitted  by mail,  the  signature
guarantees must appear either: (a) on the written request for redemption, (b) on
a separate  instrument of assignment ("stock power") specifying the total number
of  shares  to be  redeemed,  or (c)  on all  stock  certificates  tendered  for
redemption  and,  if shares  held by the Agent are also being  redeemed,  on the
letter or stock power.

Redemption  Price: The redemption price will be the net asset value per share of
the Fund next determined  after receipt by the Agent of a redemption  request in
proper  form  (see  "Determination  of Net  Asset  Value"  in the  Statement  of
Additional Information).

    The right of redemption may be suspended (a) for any period during which the
New York Stock  Exchange is closed or the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC") determines that trading on the Exchange is restricted, (b) when there is
an emergency as determined by the SEC as a result of which it is not  reasonably
practicable  for the Fund to dispose of  securities  owned by it or to determine
fairly the value of its net assets, or (c) for such other periods as the SEC may
by order  permit for the  protection  of  shareholders  of the Fund.  Due to the
proportionately high cost of maintaining smaller accounts, the Fund reserves the
right to redeem all shares in an account  with a value of less than $500 (except
retirement plan accounts) and mail the proceeds to the  shareholder.  Such right
reserved  by the Fund  pertains  to  circumstances  in which the value of shares
falls  below the  stated  threshold  due to  redemptions,  and not due to market
fluctuations.  Shareholders  will be notified before these redemptions are to be
made and  will  have 30 days to make an  additional  investment  to bring  their
accounts up to the required minimum.

                              SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

Transfer:  Shares of the Fund may be  transferred  to another owner. A signature
guarantee of the  registered  owner is required on the letter of  instruction or
accompanying stock power.

Systematic  Withdrawal  Plan:  Shareholders  may elect to withdraw cash in fixed
amounts from their  accounts at regular  intervals.  The minimum  investment  to
establish a  Systematic  Withdrawal  Plan is $10,000.  If the proceeds are to be
mailed to someone  other than the  registered  owner,  a signature  guarantee is
required.

Group Sub-Accounting:  To minimize  recordkeeping by fiduciaries,  corporations,
and certain other investors, the minimum initial investment may be waived.

                               EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

    Shares of the Fund may be exchanged  for shares of the  following  Lexington
Funds on the basis of relative net asset value per share next  determined at the
time of the  exchange.  In the event  shares of one or more of these funds being
exchanged by a single investor have a value in excess of $500,000, the shares of
the Fund will not be  purchased  until  the third  business  day  following  the
redemption of the shares being  exchanged in order to enable the redeeming  fund
to utilize normal securities  settlement procedures in transferring the proceeds
of the  redemption  to the Fund.  Exchanges  may not be made until all checks in
payment for the shares to be exchanged have been cleared.

    The Lexington Funds currently available for exchange are:

    Shareholders  in any of these funds may exchange all or part of their shares
for  shares  of one or  more  of the  other  funds,  subject  to the  conditions
described herein.  The Exchange  Privilege enables a shareholder in any of these
funds to acquire shares in a fund with a different investment objective when the
shareholder  believes that a shift between  funds is an  appropriate  investment
decision.  Shareholders  contemplating  an exchange should obtain and review the
prospectus of the fund to be acquired.

    If an exchange involves  investing in a Lexington Fund not already owned and
a new account has to be established,  the dollar amount  exchanged must meet the
initial investment of the Fund being purchased.  If, however, an account already
exists in the Fund being  bought,  there is a $500  minimum  exchange  required.
Shareholders must provide the account number of the existing account.

    Any exchange  between mutual funds is, in effect,  a redemption of shares in
one Fund and a purchase  in the other Fund.  Shareholders  should  consider  the
possible tax effects of an exchange.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE  PROVISIONS-Exchange  instructions may be given in writing or
by telephone.  Telephone exchanges may only be made if a Telephone Authorization
form has been previously  executed and filed with LFD.  Telephone  exchanges are
permitted  only  after a  minimum  of 7 days  have  elapsed  from  the date of a
previous exchange. Exchanges may not be made until all checks in payment for the
shares to be exchanged have been cleared.

    Telephonic  exchanges can only involve  shares held on deposit at the Agent;
shares held in certificate form by the shareholder cannot be included.  However,
outstanding  certificates  can be  returned  to the Agent and  qualify for these
services.  Any new account established with the same registration will also have
the privilege of exchange by telephone in the Lexington Funds.

    All  accounts  involved  in  a  telephonic   exchange  must  have  the  same
registration  and  dividend  option as the  account  from which the shares  were
transferred  and will also have the  privilege  of exchange by  telephone in the
Lexington Funds in which these services are available.

    By checking  the box on the New Account  Application  authorizing  telephone
exchange services,  a shareholder  constitutes and appoints LFD,  distributor of
the Lexington Group of Mutual Funds as the true and lawful attorney to surrender
for redemption or exchange any and all non-certificated shares held by the Agent
in account(s)  designated,  or in any other  account with the  Lexington  Funds,
present  or  future,  which has the  identical  registration  with full power of
substitution  in the  premises,  authorizes  and  directs  LFD to act  upon  any
instruction  from any person by telephone  for exchange of shares held in any of
these  accounts,  to  purchase  shares  of any  other  Lexington  Fund  that  is
available,  provided the  registration  and mailing  address of the shares to be
purchased are identical to the  registration of the shares being  redeemed,  and
agrees that neither LFD, the Agent, nor the Fund(s) will be liable for any loss,
expense or cost arising out of any  requests  effected in  accordance  with this
authorization  which would  include  requests  effected by  imposters or persons
otherwise  unauthorized to act on behalf of the account.  LFD, the Agent and the
Fund,   will  employ   reasonable   procedures  to  confirm  that   instructions
communicated  by  telephone  are  genuine  and if they do not employ  reasonable
procedures  they may be liable for any losses due to  unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions.  The following identification  procedures may include, but are not
limited to, the following:  account number,  registration and address,  taxpayer
identification  number  and other  information  

                                       8

particular  to the account.  In addition,  all exchange  transactions  will take
place on recorded  telephone  lines and each  transaction  will be  confirmed in
writing by the Fund. LFD reserves the right to cease to act as attorney  subject
to the above appointment upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the address of
record.  If other than an individual,  it is certified that certain persons have
been duly elected and are now legally holding the titles given and that the said
corporation,  trust,  unincorporated  association,  etc. is duly  organized  and
existing  and  has  power  to  take  action   called  for  by  this   continuing
Authorization.

    Exchange Authorization forms, Telephone Authorization forms and prospectuses
of the other funds may be obtained from LFD.

    This  exchange  offer is  available  only in states where shares of the fund
being acquired may legally be sold and may be modified or terminated at any time
by the  Fund.  Broker-dealers  who  process  exchange  orders on behalf of their
customers may charge a fee for their services. Such fee may be avoided by making
requests for  exchange  directly to the Fund or Agent.  For further  information
concerning Telephone Exchange Provisions, please see the Statement of Additional
Information.

                         TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS

    The Fund offers a Prototype  Pension and Profit  Sharing  Plan,  including a
Keogh Plan, IRA's,  SEP-IRA's and IRA Rollover Accounts,  401(k) Plans,  Section
457 Deferred  Compensation  Plans and 403(b)(7) Plans. Plan support services are
available through the Shareholder  Services Department of LMC at 1-800-526-0056.
(See   "Tax-Sheltered   Retirement   Plans"  in  the   Statement  of  Additional
Information.)

                 DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND REINVESTMENT POLICY

    The Fund intends to declare or distribute a dividend from its net investment
income  and/or  net  capital  gain  income  to  shareholders  annually  or  more
frequently if necessary in order to comply with distribution requirements of the
Code to avoid the imposition of regular Federal income tax, and if applicable, a
4% excise tax.

    Any  dividends  and  distribution  payments  will be reinvested at net asset
value,  without sales charge,  in additional  full and fractional  shares of the
Fund  unless and until the  shareholder  notifies  the Agent in writing  that he
wants to receive his  payments  in cash.  This  request  must be received by the
Agent at least seven days before the dividend  record date.  Upon receipt by the
Agent of such written  notice,  all further  payments will be made in cash until
written  notice to the contrary is received.  An account of such shares owned by
each  shareholder will be maintained by the Agent.  Shareholders  whose accounts
are maintained by the Agent will have the same rights as other shareholders with
respect to shares so registered (see "How to Purchase Shares-The Open Account").

                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

    The Board of  Directors  of the Fund has  adopted a  Distribution  Plan (the
"Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment  Company Act of 1940,
after having concluded that there is a reasonable  likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the Fund and its  shareholders.  The Plan provides that the Fund may pay
distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor,  at an annual rate not
to exceed 0.25% of its average daily net assets for distribution services.

    Distribution  payments will be made as follows:  The Fund either directly or
through the Adviser, may make payments periodically (i) to the Distributor or to
any  broker-dealer (a "Broker") who is registered under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934  and a  member  in good  standing  of the  National  Association  of
Securities  Dealers,  Inc. and who has entered into a Selected Dealer  Agreement
with  the  Distributor,  (ii) to  other  persons  or  organizations  ("Servicing
Agents") who have entered into  shareholder  processing  and service  agreements
with the Adviser or with the  Distributor,  with respect to Fund shares owned by
shareholders  for which  such  Broker is the  dealer or holder of record or such
servicing agent has a servicing  relationship,  or (iii) for expenses associated
with  distribution  of Fund  shares,  including  the  compensation  of the sales
personnel of the Distributor;  payments of no more than an effective annual rate
of 0.25%,  or such lesser  amounts as the  Distributor  determines  appropriate.
Payments may also be made for any advertising and promotional  expenses relating
to  selling  efforts,  including  but not  limited to the  incremental  costs of
printing prospectuses,  statements of additional information, annual reports and
other periodic  reports for  distribution to persons who are not shareholders of
the Fund; the costs of preparing and distributing any other  supplemental  sales
literature;  costs  of  radio,  television,  newspaper  and  other  advertising;
telecommunications expenses,  including the cost of telephones,  telephone lines
and  other  communications  equipment,  incurred  by or for the  Distributor  in
carrying  out its  obligations  under the  Distribution  Agreement.  LMC,  at no
additional cost to the Fund, may pay to Shareholder  Service Agents,  additional
amounts from past profits for administrative services.

<PAGE>
                                  TAX MATTERS

    The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated  investment company by satisfying
the  requirements  under  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"),  including requirements with respect to diversification of
assets, distribution of income and sources of income. It is the Fund's policy to
distribute to  shareholders  all of its investment  income (net of expenses) and
any capital gains (net of capital losses) so that, in addition to satisfying the
distribution  requirement  of  Subchapter  M, the Fund  will not be  subject  to
federal income tax or the 4% excise tax.

    Distributions  by the Fund of its net investment  income and the excess,  if
any, of its net short-term  capital gain over its net long-term capital loss are
taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.  These  distributions are treated as
dividends  for  federal  income  tax  purposes,  but in any year  only a portion
thereof (which cannot exceed the aggregate  amount of qualifying  dividends from
domestic  corporations received by the Fund during the year) may qualify for the
70% dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders.  Because the Fund's
investment  income may include interest and dividends from foreign  corporations
and the Fund may have short-term  capital gains,  less than 100% of the ordinary
income  dividends  paid by the  Fund  may  qualify  for  the  dividends-received
deduction. Distributions by the Fund of the excess, if any, of its net long-term
capital gain over its net short-term capital loss are designated as capital gain
dividends and are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, regardless
of the length of time the shareholder held his shares.

    Distributions to shareholders will be treated in the same manner for federal
income tax purposes whether received in cash or reinvested in additional  shares
of the Fund. In general, distributions by the Fund are taken into account by the
shareholders in the year in which they are made. However,  certain distributions
made during January will be treated as having been paid by the Fund and received
by the  shareholders on December 31 of the preceding  year. A statement  setting
forth the  federal  income tax status of all  distributions  made or deemed made
during  the year  will be sent to  shareholders  promptly  after the end of each
year.  Shareholders  purchasing shares of the Fund just prior to the ex-dividend
date will be taxed on the entire  amount of the dividend  received,  even though
the net asset value per share on the date of such purchase  reflected the amount
of such dividend.

    Any loss  realized  upon a taxable  disposition  of shares within six months
from the date of their  purchase will be treated as a long-term  capital loss to
the extent of any  capital  gain  dividends  received on such  shares.  All or a
portion of any loss  realized upon a taxable  disposition  of shares of the Fund
may be  disallowed  if other  shares  of the Fund are  purchased  within 30 days
before or after such disposition.

    Under the back-up withholding rules of the Code, certain shareholders may be
subject to 31% withholding of federal income tax on distributions and redemption
payments  made by the  Fund.  In order  to avoid  this  back-up  withholding,  a
shareholder must provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer  identification number
(which for most  individuals is their Social Security number) or certify that it
is a corporation or otherwise exempt from or not subject to back-up withholding.
The  new  account  application   included  with  this  Prospectus  provides  for
shareholder compliance with these certification requirements.

    The foregoing  discussion of federal income tax consequences is based on tax
laws and regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus, and is subject to
change by legislative or administrative  action. As the foregoing  discussion is
for general  information only, a prospective  shareholder should also review the
more detailed  discussion of federal income tax  considerations  relevant to the
Fund that is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.  In addition,
each prospective  shareholder  should consult with his own tax adviser as to the
tax consequences of investments in the Fund,  including the application of state
and local  taxes  which may differ  from the  federal  income  tax  consequences
described above.

                  ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

    The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company organized
as a corporation  under the laws of the State of Maryland on August 29, 1995 and
has authorized capital of 1,000,000,000  shares of common stock, par value $.001
of which  500,000,000  have been  designated  the Lexington  SmallCap Value Fund
Series.  Each share of common  stock has one vote and shares  equally with other
shares of the same series in dividends and distributions when and if declared by
the Fund and in the Fund's net assets belonging to such series upon liquidation.
All  shares,  when  issued,  are  fully  paid and  nonassessable.  There  are no
preemptive,  conversion or exchange  rights.  Fund shares do not have cumulative
voting  rights  and, as such,  holders of at least 50% of the shares  voting for
Directors can elect all Directors  and the remaining  shareholders  would not be
able to elect any Directors.

                                       10


<PAGE>

    The Company will not normally  hold annual  shareholder  meetings  except as
required by Maryland  General  Corporation Law or the Investment  Company Act of
1940.  However,  meetings  of  shareholders  may be  called  at any  time by the
Secretary upon the written request of shareholders  holding in the aggregate not
less than 25% of the outstanding  shares,  such request  specifying the purposes
for which such meeting is to be called. In addition, the Directors will promptly
call a meeting of  shareholders  for the purpose of voting upon the  question of
removal of any Director when requested to do so in writing by the  recordholders
of not less than 10% of the  Fund's  outstanding  shares.  The Fund will  assist
shareholders in any such communication between shareholders and Directors.

                             PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

    The Fund will  calculate  performance  on a total  return  basis for various
periods.  The total return basis combines  principal and dividend income changes
for the periods shown. Principal changes are based on the difference between the
beginning and closing net asset values for the period and assume reinvestment of
dividends  paid by the Fund.  Dividends  are  comprised of net realized  capital
gains and net investment income.

    Performance will vary from time to time and past results are not necessarily
representative of future results.  It should be remembered that performance is a
function of portfolio  management in selecting the type and quality of portfolio
securities and is affected by operating expenses.

    Comparative  performance  information  may be  used  from  time  to  time in
advertising  or  marketing  of the Fund's  shares,  including  data from  Lipper
Analytical  Services,  Inc.  or  major  market  indices  such as the  Dow  Jones
Industrial  Average Index,  Russell 2000,  Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index. Such comparative performance information will be stated in the same
terms in which the comparative data and indices are stated.

                        INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

    Lexington  SmalICap  Value  Fund (the  "Fund") is an  open-end,  diversified
management  investment  company.  The  Fund's  investment  objective  is to seek
long-term  capital  appreciation.  The Fund will seek to achieve its  investment
objective  through  investment  in common  stocks and  equivalents  primarily of
companies  domiciled in the United States with a market  capitalization  of less
than $1 billion which the Sub-Adviser believes offers exceptional relative value
and attractive prices. Production of income is incidental to this objective. The
Fund's  portfolio  will be  invested  primarily  in  equities  listed  on  stock
exchanges or traded in over-the-counter  markets in the U.S. The fund may invest
in Canadian or other  foreign  domiciled  companies  whose  shares trade in U.S.
dollar denominated markets.

    The  Fund  will  seek to  achieve  its  objective  through  investment  in a
diversified  portfolio  of  securities  that will consist of all types of common
stocks and equivalents (the following constitute equivalents: warrants, options,
and convertible debt securities).
There is no  assurance  that the Fund  will be able to  achieve  its  investment
objective.

    Under normal market conditions,  the Fund will invest  substantially all (at
least 90%) of its assets in small  companies  domiciled  in the U.S.  which have
market  capitalization  (based on aggregate market value of outstanding  shares)
between $20 million and $1 billion at the time of  investment.  The remainder of
its assets (no more than 10%) may be invested in  securities  of companies  with
market  capitalizations  below $20  million;  above  $1,000,000,000.;  domiciled
outside the U.S. if its shares trade in U.S. markets in dollar denominations; in
American  Depository  Shares or  Receipts  ("ADR's"  or  "ADS's"),  real  estate
investment trusts ("REIT's") and/or in cash and equivalent securities.  The Fund
does not intend to invest in securities which, at the time of purchase,  are not
readily  marketable;  in securities of foreign  issuers  denominated  in foreign
currencies;  or in futures contracts.  The Fund will not engage in short-selling
activities, leveraging or portfolio hedging techniques.

    The Fund's  overall  approach to  investing  in small  capitalization  value
stocks is based on  research  performed  by its  Sub-Adviser  which  shows  that
extremely  undervalued  companies offer potential for high returns over time and
excellent  diversification  versus other domestic equity investment styles. This
strategy may under-emphasize widely followed, institutional favorites and result
in holdings of stocks with little "Wall  Street" or outside  research  coverage.
Advantages of investing in distressed and/or neglected issues based on internal,
fundamental research include:

        *low valuations that offer some downside protection

        *lack of  institutional  ownership  that  results in return  streams not
         highly correlated with market indices

        *potential  for upside  surprises  that is  increased  as stocks  exceed
         minimal expectations and are "discovered" by other investors

        *low  transaction  costs  based  solely on best  execution  rather  than
         research commitments.

    The  companies in which the Fund intends to invest will  generally  have the
following characteristics:

        *a market capitalization of less that $1 billion

        *a high relative ratio of revenue per share to stock price

        *a low relative ratio of price to book value per share

        *a positive cash flow and other measures of financial stability

        *a low stock price relative to historical levels.

    By following these criteria, the Fund intends to select securities which can
have enhanced appreciation prospects and may provide investment returns superior
to the  market  as a whole.  However,  the  market  value  of  these  companies'
securities  tends to be volatile and in the past offered  greater  potential for
gain as well as loss than securities of larger capitalization companies.

    Special Considerations. An investor should be aware that investment in small
capitalization  issuers carry more risk than issuers with market  capitalization
greater than $1 billion.  Generally,  small  companies  rely on limited  product
lines,  financial  resources,  and business  activities  that may make them more
susceptible to setbacks or downturns.  In addition,  the stock of such companies
may be more thinly traded. Accordingly,  the performance of small capitalization
issuers may be more volatile.

    Investments by the Fund of up to 10% of its total assets in the common stock
of  foreign  companies  which are  traded in the  United  States or in ADR's may
involve  considerations and risks that are different in certain respects from an
investment  in securities  of U.S.  companies.  Such risks include the effect of
currency fluctuations on the value of Fund shares, the imposition of withholding
taxes on  interest  or  dividends,  possible  adoption  of foreign  governmental
restrictions on repatriation of income or capital  investment,  or other adverse
political or economic  developments.  

                                       2

Additionally,  it may be more  difficult  to  enforce  the  rights of a security
holder  against a foreign  company.  There may be delays in settling  securities
transactions in certain foreign markets and information  about the operations of
foreign companies may be more difficult to obtain and evaluate.

    With  respect  to the  Fund's  investment  in debt  securities,  there is no
requirement  that all such  securities be rated by a recognized  rating  agency.
However,  it is the  policy of the Fund  that  investments  in debt  securities,
whether  rated or unrated,  will be made only if they are, in the opinion of the
Sub-Adviser, of equivalent quality to "investment grade" securities. "Investment
grade"  securities  are those rated  within the four highest  quality  grades as
determined by Moody's Investors Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's
Corporation  ("Standard & Poor's").  Securities  rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by
Standard & Poor's are judged to be of the best  quality  and carry the  smallest
degree of risk.  Securities  rated Baa by Moody's  and BBB by  Standard & Poor's
lack high quality  investment  characteristics  and, in fact,  have  speculative
characteristics as well. Debt securities are interest-rate sensitive;  therefore
their value will tend to decrease  when  interest  rates rise and increase  when
interest rates fall. Such increase or decrease in the value of longer-term  debt
instruments  as a result of  interest  rate  movement  will be  larger  than the
increase or decrease in the value of shorter-term debt instruments.

                               PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

    Although  the Fund does not  generally  intend to invest for the  purpose of
seeking  short-term  profits,   the  Fund's  investments  may  be  changed  when
circumstances  warrant,  without  regard  to the  length  of  time a  particular
security  has been  held.  It is  expected  that the Fund  will  have an  annual
portfolio  turnover  rate that will  generally  not exceed 100%. A 100% turnover
rate would occur if all the Fund's  portfolio  investments  were sold and either
repurchased  or  replaced  within a year.  A high  turnover  rate (100% or more)
results in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional
expenses which are borne by the Fund. High portfolio  turnover may result in the
realization of net short-term  capital gains by the Fund which, when distributed
to shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income. See "Tax Matters."

Retirement Plan for Eligible Directors/Trustees

    Effective September 12, 1995, the Directors instituted a Retirement Plan for
Eligible Directors/Trustees (the "Plan") pursuant to which each Director/Trustee
(who is not an  employee  of any of the Funds,  the  Advisor,  Administrator  or
Distributor or any of their affiliates) may be entitled to certain benefits upon
retirement from the Board.  Pursuant to the Plan, the normal  retirement date is
the date on which the  eligible  Director/Trustee  has  attained  age 65 and has
completed at least ten years of continuous and non-forfeited service with one or
more  of  the  investment   companies   advised  by  LMC  (or  its   affiliates)
(collectively,  the "Covered Funds"). Each eligible Director/Trustee is entitled
to receive from the Covered Fund an annual  benefit  commencing on the first day
of the calendar quarter coincident with or next following his date of retirement
equal  to  5%  of  his   compensation   multiplied   by  the   number   of  such
Director/Trustee's  years of service (not in excess of 15 years)  completed with
respect  to any of the  Covered  Portfolios.  Such  benefit  is  payable to each
eligible Director in quarterly  installments for ten years following the date of
retirement or the life of the Director/Trustee. The Plan establishes age 72 as a
mandatory  retirement  age for  Directors/Trustees;  however,  Director/Trustees
serving the Funds as of  September  12,  1995 are not subject to such  mandatory
retirement.  Directors/Trustees  serving the Funds as of September  12, 1995 who
elect  retirement  under the Plan prior to  September  12, 1996 will  receive an
annual retirement benefit at any increased compensation level if compensation is
increased prior to September 12, 1997 and receive spousal benefits (i.e., in the
event the Director/Trustee dies prior to receiving full benefits under the Plan,
the  Director/Trustee's  spouse  (if  any)  will  be  entitled  to  receive  the
retirement benefit within the 10 year period.)

    Retiring  Directors will be eligible to serve as Honorary  Directors for one
year after  retirement and will be entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses
to attend a maximum of two meetings.

    Set forth in the table below are the estimated annual benefits payable to an
eligible  Director upon retirement  assuming  various  compensation and years of
service  classifications.  As of December 31, 1995, the estimated credited years
of service for Directors Duer,  Miller,  Preston,  Russell and Smith are 18, 22,
18, 15 and 26, respectively.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    The Fund's investment  objective,  as described under "Investment  Objective
and  Policies"  and  the  following  investment   restrictions  are  matters  of
fundamental  policy which may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the
lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund  present at a  shareholders'
meeting  at which  more  than  50% of the  outstanding  shares  are  present  or
represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares. Under these
investment restrictions:

    (1) the Fund will not issue any  senior  security  (as  defined  in the 1940
        Act),  except that (a) the Fund may enter into  commitments  to purchase
        securities in accordance with the Fund's investment  program,  including
        reverse  repurchase  agreements,  foreign  exchange  contracts,  delayed
        delivery  and  when-issued  securities,  which  may  be  considered  the
        issuance of senior  securities;  (b) the Fund may engage in transactions
        that may  result in the  issuance  of a senior  security  to the  extent
        permitted under applicable  regulations,  interpretation of the 1940 Act
        or an  exemptive  order;  (c) the Fund  may  engage  in  short  sales of
        securities to the extent  permitted in its investment  program and other
        restrictions;  (d) the purchase or sale of futures contracts and related
        options  shall not be  considered  to  involve  the  issuance  of senior
        securities;  and (e) subject to fundamental  restrictions,  the Fund may
        borrow money as authorized by the 1940 Act.

    (2) The Fund will not borrow money,  except that (a) the Fund may enter into
        certain futures contracts and options related thereto;  (b) the Fund may
        enter into  commitments  to purchase  securities in accordance  with the
        Fund's  investment  program,  including delayed delivery and when-issued
        securities  and  reverse  repurchase   agreements;   (c)  for  temporary
        emergency  purposes,  the Fund may borrow money in amounts not exceeding
        5% of the value of its  total  assets at the time when the loan is made;
        (d) The Fund may pledge  its  portfolio  securities  or  receivables  or
        transfer or assign or otherwise encumber them in an amount not exceeding
        one-third  of the 

                                       5


<PAGE>

        value of its total assets; and (e) for purposes of leveraging,  the Fund
        may borrow money from banks  (including  its custodian  bank),  only if,
        immediately  after  such  borrowing,  the  value of the  Fund's  assets,
        including  the amount  borrowed,  less its  liabilities,  is equal to at
        least 300% of the amount borrowed, plus all outstanding  borrowings.  If
        at any time, the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet the 300% asset
        coverage requirement relative only to leveraging,  the Fund will, within
        three days (not including  Sundays and holidays),  reduce its borrowings
        to the extent necessary to meet the 300% test. The Fund has no intention
        at this  time of  engaging  in  these  activities  or  investing  in the
        securities.

    (3) The Fund  will not act as an  underwriter  of  securities  except to the
        extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio  securities
        by the  Fund,  the Fund may be  deemed  to be an  underwriter  under the
        provisions of the 1933 Act.

    (4) The Fund will not purchase real estate, interests in real estate or real
        estate  limited  partnership   interests  except  that,  to  the  extent
        appropriate  under  its  investment  program,  the  Fund may  invest  in
        securities  secured  by real  estate or  interests  therein or issued by
        companies,  including real estate investment trusts,  which deal in real
        estate or interests therein.

    (5) The Fund will not make loans,  except  that,  to the extent  appropriate
        under  its  investment  program,   the  Fund  may  (a)  purchase  bonds,
        debentures or other debt securities,  including short-term  obligations,
        (b) enter into repurchase transactions and (c) lend portfolio securities
        provided  that  the  value of such  loaned  securities  does not  exceed
        one-third of the Fund's total assets.

    (6) The Fund will not invest in  commodity  contracts,  except that the Fund
        may, to the extent  appropriate under its investment  program,  purchase
        securities  of  companies  engaged  in such  activities,  may enter into
        transactions  in  financial  and index  futures  contracts  and  related
        options,  may  engage  in  transactions  on  a  when-issued  or  forward
        commitment basis, and may enter into forward currency contracts.

    (7) The Fund  will not  concentrate  its  investments  in any one  industry,
        except  that  the Fund  may  invest  up to 25% of its  total  assets  in
        securities issued by companies  principally engaged in any one industry.
        The Fund  considers  foreign  government  securities  and  supranational
        organizations to be industries. This limitation, however, will not apply
        to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,  its agencies
        and instrumentalities.

    (8) The Fund will not purchase  securities of an issuer, if (a) more than 5%
        of the Fund's  total  assets  taken at market value would at the time be
        invested in the securities of such issuer,  except that such restriction
        shall not apply to securities  issued or guaranteed by the United States
        government or its agencies or  instrumentalities;  or (b) such purchases
        would at the time  result  in more  than 10% of the  outstanding  voting
        securities of such issuer being held by the Fund .

In addition to the above fundamental  restrictions,  the Fund has undertaken the
following  non-fundamental  restrictions,  which may be changed in the future by
the Board of Directors, without a vote of the shareholders of the Fund:

    (1) The Fund will not participate on a joint or  joint-and-several  basis in
        any securities trading account. The "bunching" of orders for the sale or
        purchase of marketable  portfolio  securities  with other accounts under
        the  management  of  the  investment  adviser  or  sub-adviser  to  save
        commissions or to average prices among them is not deemed to result in a
        securities trading account.

    (2) The Fund may  purchase and sell futures  contracts  and related  options
        under the following conditions:  (a) the then-current  aggregate futures
        market  prices of financial  instruments  required to be  delivered  and
        purchased  under  open  futures  contracts  shall not  exceed 30% of the
        Fund's total  assets,  at market  value;  and (b) no more than 5% of the
        assets,  at market value at the time of entering into a contract,  shall
        be committed to margin  deposits in relation to futures  contracts.  The
        Fund has no  intention at this time of engaging in these  activities  or
        investing in the securities.

    (3) The Fund will not make short sales of securities, other than short sales
        "against  the  box,"  or  purchase   securities  on  margin  except  for
        short-term  credits  necessary for clearance of portfolio  transactions,
        provided that this  restriction  will not be applied to limit the use of
        options,  futures contracts and related options, in the manner otherwise
        permitted  by  the  investment  restrictions,  policies  and  investment
        programs of the Fund. The Fund has no intention at this time of engaging
        in these activities or investing in the securities.

    (4) The Fund will not  purchase  securities  of an  issuer if to the  Fund's
        knowledge,  one or more of the  Directors or officers of the Fund or LMC
        individually   owns   beneficially  more  than  0.5%  and  together  own
        beneficially  more than 5% of the securities of such issuer nor will the
        Fund hold the securities of such issuer.

                                       6


<PAGE>

    (5) The Fund  will not  purchase  the  securities  of any  other  investment
        company, except as permitted under the 1940 Act.

    (6) The Fund will not,  except for investments  which, in the aggregate,  do
        not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets taken at market value, purchase
        securities  unless the issuer thereof or any company on whose credit the
        purchase  was  based  has a record of at least  three  years  continuous
        operations prior to the purchase.

    (7) The Fund will not invest for the purpose of  exercising  control over or
        management of any company.

    (8) The  Fund  will  not  purchase  warrants  except  in  units  with  other
        securities in original issuance thereof or attached to other securities,
        if at the time of the  purchase,  the  Fund's  investment  in  warrants,
        valued at the lower of cost or  market,  would  exceed 5% of the  Fund's
        total  assets.  Warrants  which  are  not  listed  on  a  United  States
        securities  exchange  shall not exceed 2% of the Fund's net assets.  For
        these purposes,  warrants attached to units or other securities shall be
        deemed to be without value.

    (9) The Fund will not invest  more than 15% of its total  assets in illiquid
        securities.  Illiquid  securities  are  securities  that are not readily
        marketable  or cannot be disposed of promptly  within  seven days and in
        the usual course of business without taking a materially  reduced price.
        Such  securities  include,  but are not limited to,  time  deposits  and
        repurchase agreements with maturities longer than seven days. Securities
        that may be resold  under Rule 144A or  securities  offered  pursuant to
        Section 4(2) of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  shall not be
        deemed illiquid solely by reason of being  unregistered.  The Investment
        Adviser shall  determine  whether a particular  security is deemed to be
        liquid based on the trading markets for the specific  security and other
        factors.  The Fund has no  intention  at this time of  engaging in these
        activities or investing in the securities.

    (10)The Fund will not purchase  interests  in oil,  gas,  mineral  leases or
        other exploration  programs;  however, this policy will not prohibit the
        acquisition  of  securities  of companies  engaged in the  production or
        transmission of oil, gas or other materials.

    The  percentage  restrictions  referred to above are to be adhered to at the
time of investment  and are not  applicable  to a later  increase or decrease in
percentage  beyond the specified  limit  resulting  from change in values or net
assets.  Pursuant  to an  undertaking  made to a state  administrator,  loans of
portfolio  securities (as stated under  fundamental  investment  restriction #5)
must be fully collateralized at no less than 100% and marked to market daily.

         INVESTMENT ADVISER, SUB-ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR

    Lexington Management  Corporation ("LMC"),  P.O. Box 1515, Saddle Brook, New
Jersey 07663 is the  investment  adviser to the Fund  pursuant to an  Investment
Management  Agreement  dated  September 14, 1995,  (the  "Advisory  Agreement").
Lexington  Funds  Distributor,  Inc.  ("LFD") is the  distributor of Fund shares
pursuant to a  Distribution  Agreement  dated May 16, 1995,  (the  "Distribution
Agreement").   LMC  has  entered  into  a  Sub-Advisory  contract  with  Capital
Technology,  Inc. under which CTI will provide the Fund with  investment  advice
and management of the Fund's investment  program.  LMC makes  recommendations to
the  Fund  with  respect  to its  investments  and  investment  policies.  These
agreements were approved by the Fund's Board of Directors  (including a majority
of the  Directors  who  were not  parties  to  either  the  Advisory  Agreement,
Sub-Advisory  Agreement or the Distribution Agreement or "interested persons" of
any such party) on September 14, 1995.

    LMC  also  acts  as   administrator   to  the  Fund  and  performs   certain
administrative   and  accounting   services,   including  but  not  limited  to,
maintaining  general  ledger  accounts,  regulatory  compliance,  preparation of
financial information for semiannual and annual reports,  preparing registration
statements,   calculating  net  asset  values,  shareholder  communications  and
supervision  of the custodian,  transfer agent and provides  facilities for such
services.  The Fund shall  reimburse  LMC for its actual cost in providing  such
services, facilities and expenses.

    LMC's  investment  advisory  fee will be reduced  for any fiscal year by any
amount  necessary to prevent Fund expenses from  exceeding the most  restrictive
expense  limitations  imposed by the  securities  laws or  regulations  of those
states or  jurisdictions  in which the Fund's shares are registered or qualified
for sale.  Currently,  the most  restrictive  of such expense  limitation  would
require LMC to reduce its fee so that  ordinary  expenses  (excluding  interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary  expenses) for any fiscal year do
not exceed 2.5% of the first $30 million of the Fund's average daily net assets,
plus 2.0% of the next $70  million,  plus 1.5% of the Fund's  average  daily net
assets in

                                       7


<PAGE>


excess of $100 million.  LMC has agreed to voluntarily  limit the total expenses
of the Fund (excluding interest,  taxes,  brokerage,  and extraordinary expenses
but including the  management  fee and operating  expenses) to an annual rate of
1.75% of the Fund's average net assets through April 30, 1996 or such later date
to be determined by LMC. LFD pays the advertising and sales expenses  related to
the  continuous  offering  of  Fund  shares,  including  the  cost  of  printing
prospectuses,  proxies and  shareholder  reports for persons other than existing
shareholders.  The Fund  furnishes  LFD, at printer's  overrun cost paid by LFD,
such copies of its  prospectus  and annual,  semi-annual  and other  reports and
shareholder communications as may reasonably be required for sales purposes.

    The Advisory Agreement,  Sub-Advisory Agreement,  the Distribution Agreement
and the Administrative  Services Agreement are subject to annual approval by the
Fund's  Board of  Directors  and by the  affirmative  vote,  cast in person at a
meeting  called for such  purpose,  of a majority of the  Directors  who are not
parties  either  to  the  Advisory  Agreement,  Sub-Advisory  Agreement  of  the
Distribution  Agreement, as the case may be, or "interested persons" of any such
party.  Either the Fund or LMC may terminate the Advisory Agreement and the Fund
or LFD may  terminate  the  Distribution  Agreement on 60 days'  written  notice
without penalty. The Advisory Agreement terminates automatically in the event of
assignment,  as defined in the Investment  Company Act of 1940. As  compensation
for its services,  the Fund pays LMC a monthly management fee at the annual rate
of 1.00% of the average  daily net assets.  This fee is higher than that paid by
most other investment companies. However, it is not necessarily greater than the
management  fee of other  investment  companies  with  objectives  and  policies
similar to this Fund.  LMC will pay CTI an annual  sub-advisory  fee of 0.50% of
the Fund's average daily net assets.  The  sub-advisory fee will be paid by LMC,
not the Fund.  See  "Investment  Adviser and  Distributor"  in the  Statement of
Additional Information.

    LMC as owner of the registered  service mark  "Lexington" will sublicense to
the Fund to include the word  "Lexington"  as part of its corporate name subject
to  revocation  by LMC in the event  that the Fund  ceases to engage  LMC or its
affiliate as investment  adviser or distributor.  In that event the Fund will be
required  upon  demand of LMC to change its name to delete the word  "Lexington"
therefrom.

    LMC  shall  not be  liable  to the Fund or its  shareholders  for any act or
omission by LMC, its officers,  directors or employees or any loss  sustained by
the Fund or its  shareholders  except in the case of  willful  misfeasance,  bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.

    LMC and  LFD  are  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  of  Lexington  Global  Asset
Managers,   Inc.,  a  publicly  traded  corporation.   Descendants  of  Lunsford
Richardson,  Sr.,  their  spouses,  trusts  and other  related  entities  have a
majority  voting  control  of  outstanding  shares  of  Lexington  Global  Asset
Managers, Inc.

    CTI was  founded  in  Charlotte,  North  Carolina  in 1977 and has  invested
exclusively in domestic smaller  capitalization stocks since then. CTI currently
manages  assets  both small and mid cap growth  and value  styles for  primarily
institutional clients.

    Of the directors,  officers or employees ("affiliated persons") of the Fund,
Messrs. Corniotes,  DeMichele, Faust, Hisey, Kantor, Lavery, Luehs, and Petruski
and Mmes. Carnicelli,  Carr, Curcio, Gilfillan and Mosca (see "Management of the
Fund"),  may  also  be  deemed  affiliates  of LMC and LFD by  virtue  of  being
officers, directors or employees thereof.

                PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

    The Fund's primary policy is to execute all purchases and sales of portfolio
instruments  at the  most  favorable  prices  consistent  with  best  execution,
considering all of the costs of the transaction including brokerage commissions.
This policy governs the selection of brokers and dealers and the market in which
a  transaction  is  executed.  Consistent  with this  policy,  the Rules of Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and such other
policies as the  Directors  may  determine,  LMC and CTI may  consider  sales of
shares of the Fund and of the other Lexington Funds as a factor in the selection
of broker-dealers to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions.

    The research  that is used for  security  selection  is 100%  internal.  CTI
evaluates publicly available data and generates original research.  CTI believes
that by generating original research, CTI can maintain its objectivity and avoid
the tendency to move in tandem with the  prevailing  sentiment of the investment
community.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

    The Fund calculates net asset value as of the close of normal trading on the
New York Stock Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.,  Eastern time,  unless  weather,
equipment  failure or other factors  contribute to an earlier closing time) each
business day. It is expected that the New York Stock  Exchange will be closed on
Saturdays  and Sundays  and on New Year's Day,  President's  Day,  Good  Friday,
Memorial Day,  Independence Day, Labor Day,  Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
See the Prospectus for the further discussion of net asset value.

                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

    The Fund has adopted a  Distribution  Plan (the "Plan") in  accordance  with
Rule 12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  which  provides that the
Fund may pay  distribution  fees including  payments to the  Distributor,  at an
annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of its average daily net assets for distribution
services.

    Distribution  payments will be made as follows:  The Fund either directly or
through the Adviser, may make payments periodically (i) to the Distributor or to
any  broker-dealer (a "Broker") who is registered under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934  and a  member  in good  standing  of the  National  Association  of
Securities  Dealers,  Inc. and who has entered into a Selected Dealer  Agreement
with  the  Distributor,  (ii) to  other  persons  or  organizations  ("Servicing
Agents") who have entered into  shareholder  processing  and service  agreements
with the Adviser or with the  Distributor,  with respect to Fund shares owned by
shareholders  for which  such  Broker is the  dealer or holder of record or such
servicing agent has a servicing  relationship,  or (iii) for expenses associated
with  distribution  of Fund  shares,  including  the  compensation  of the sales
personnel of the Distributor;  payments of no more than an effective annual rate
of 0.25%,  or such lesser  amounts as the  Distributor  determines  appropriate.
Payments may also be made for any advertising and promotional  expenses relating
to  selling  efforts,  including  but not  limited to the  incremental  costs of
printing prospectuses,  statements of additional information, annual reports and
other periodic  reports for  distribution to persons who are not shareholders of
the Fund; the costs of preparing and distributing any other  supplemental  sales
literature;  costs  of  radio,  television,  newspaper  and  other  advertising;
telecommunications expenses,  including the cost of telephones,  telephone lines
and  other  communications  equipment,  incurred  by or for the  Distributor  in
carrying out its obligations under the Distribution Agreement.

    Quarterly,  in each year  that  this Plan  remains  in  effect,  the  Fund's
Treasurer  shall  prepare  and  furnish to the  Directors  of the Fund a written
report, complying with the requirements of Rule 12b-1, setting forth the amounts
expended  by the Fund under the Plan and  purposes  for which such  expenditures
were made.

    The Plan shall  become  effective  upon  approval  of the Plan,  the form of
Selected Dealer Agreement and the form of Shareholder Service Agreement,  by the
majority votes of both (a) the Fund's Directors and the Qualified  Directors (as
defined below),  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
the Plan and (b) the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund, as defined in
Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act.

    The Plan shall remain in effect for one year from its adoption  date and may
be continued  thereafter if this Plan and all related agreements are approved at
least  annually by a majority  vote of the  Directors  of the Fund,  including a
majority of the Qualified  Directors  cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such Plan and  agreements.  This Plan may not be amended in
order to increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution  assistance
without  shareholder  approval.  All  material  amendments  to this Plan must be
approved by a vote of the Directors of the Fund, and of the Qualified  Directors
(as hereinafter defined),  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting thereon.

    The Plan may be  terminated  at any time by a majority vote of the Directors
who are not interested  persons (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act)
of the Fund and have no direct or indirect  financial  interest in the operation
of the Plan or in any agreements related to the Plan (the "Qualified Directors")
or by vote of a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund, as
defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act.

    While this Plan shall be in effect,  the  selection  and  nomination  of the
"non-interested"  Directors of the Fund shall be committed to the  discretion of
the Qualified Directors then in office.

                          TELEPHONE EXCHANGE PROVISIONS

    Exchange  instructions  may be given in writing or by  telephone.  Telephone
exchanges may only be made if a Telephone Authorization form has been previously
executed and filed with LFD.  Telephone  exchanges  are  permitted  only after a
minimum of seven (7) days have  elapsed  from the date of a  previous  exchange.
Exchanges  may not be made  until all  checks in  payment  for the  shares to be
exchanged have been cleared.

    Telephonic exchanges can only involve shares held on deposit at State Street
Bank and Trust Company (the  "Agent");  shares held in  certificate  form by the
shareholder  cannot  be  included.  However,  outstanding  certificates  can  be
returned  to  the  Agent  and  qualify  for  these  services.  Any  new  account
established with the same  registration will also have the privilege of exchange
by  telephone in the  Lexington  Funds.  All  accounts  involved in a telephonic
exchange must have the same registration and dividend option as the account from
which the shares were  transferred  and will also have the privilege of exchange
by telephone in the Lexington Funds in which these services are available.

    By checking  the box on the New Account  Application  authorizing  telephone
exchange services,  a shareholder  constitutes and appoints LFD,  distributor of
the  Lexington  Group  of  Mutual  Funds,  as the true and  lawful  attorney  to
surrender for redemption or exchange any and all non-certificate  shares held by
the Agent in account(s)  designated,  or 

                                       9


<PAGE>

in any other account with the Lexington  Funds,  present or future which has the
identical  registration,  with  full  power  of  substitution  in the  premises,
authorizes  and  directs  LFD to act upon any  instruction  from any  person  by
telephone  for  exchange  of shares held in any of these  accounts,  to purchase
shares of any other Lexington Fund that is available,  provided the registration
and  mailing  address  of  the  shares  to be  purchased  are  identical  to the
registration  of the shares  being  redeemed,  and agrees that  neither LFD, the
Agent,  or the Fund(s) will be liable for any loss,  expense or cost arising out
of any  requests  effected in  accordance  with this  authorization  which would
include requests effected by impostors or persons otherwise  unauthorized to act
on behalf of the  account.  LFD  reserves  the right to cease to act as attorney
subject to the above  appointment  upon thirty (30) days  written  notice to the
address of record.  If the  shareholder  is an entity other than an  individual,
such entity may be  required  to certify  that  certain  persons  have been duly
elected  and are now  legally  holding  the  titles  given  and  that  the  said
corporation,  trust,  unincorporated  association,  etc. is duly  organized  and
existing  and has  the  power  to  take  action  called  for by this  continuing
authorization.

    Exchange   Authorizations   forms,   Telephone   Authorization   forms   and
prospectuses of the other funds may be obtained from LFD.

    LFD has made  arrangements  with certain  dealers to accept  instructions by
telephone to exchange shares of the Fund or shares of one of the other Lexington
Funds at net asset value as described  above.  Under this procedure,  the dealer
must agree to indemnify LFD and the funds from any loss or liability that any of
them  might  incur as a result  of the  acceptance  of such  telephone  exchange
orders. A properly signed Exchange  Authorization must be received by LFD within
5 days of the exchange  request.  LFD reserves the right to reject any telephone
exchange request.  In each such exchange,  the registration of the shares of the
Fund being acquired must be identical to the  registration  of the shares of the
Fund being exchanged. Any telephone exchange orders so rejected may be processed
by mail.

    This  exchange  offer is  available  only in states where shares of the Fund
being acquired may legally be sold and may be modified or terminated at any time
by the  Fund.  Broker-dealers  who  process  exchange  orders on behalf of their
customers may charge a fee for their services. Such fee may be avoided by making
requests for exchange directly to the Fund or Agent.

                         TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS

    The Fund makes  available a variety of Prototype  Pension and Profit Sharing
plans  including a 401(k) Plan and a 403(b)(7} Plan. Plan services are available
by  contacting  the  Shareholder  Services  Department  of  the  Distributor  at
1-800-526-0056.

    INDIVIDUAL  RETIREMENT ACCOUNT ("IRA"):  Individuals may make tax deductible
contributions  to their own Individual  Retirement  Accounts  established  under
Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  Married investors filing
a joint return neither of whom is an active participant in an employer sponsored
retirement  plan,  or who have an  adjusted  gross  income  of  $40,000  or less
($25,000 or less for single taxpayers) may continue to make a $2,000 ($2,500 for
spousal IRAs) annual  deductible  IRA  contribution.  For adjusted gross incomes
above  $40,000  ($25,000  for  single  taxpayers,  the IRA  deduction  limit  is
generally  phased out ratably  over the next $10,000 of adjusted  gross  income,
subject to a minimum $200 deductible contribution. Investors who are not able to
deduct  a  full  $2,000  ($2,250  spousal)  IRA  contribution   because  of  the
limitations may make a  nondeductible  contribution to their IRA to the extent a
deductible  contribution  is not allowed.  Federal  income tax on  accumulations
earned on  nondeductible  contributions  is  deferred  until  such time as these
amounts are deemed  distributed  to an investor.  Rollovers  are also  permitted
under the Plan.  The  disclosure  statement  required  by the  Internal  Revenue
Service ("IRS") is provided by the Fund.

    The minimum initial  investment to establish a  tax-sheltered  plan is $250.
Subsequent investments are subject to a minimum of $50 for each account.

    SELF-EMPLOYED  RETIREMENT PLAN (HR-10):  Self-employed  individuals may make
tax deductible contributions to a prototype defined contribution pension plan or
profit sharing plan. There are,  however,  a number of special rules which apply
when  self-employed  individuals  participate in such plans.  Currently purchase
payments under a  self-employed  plan are  deductible  only to the extent of the
lesser of (i) $30,000 or (ii) 25% of the  individuals  earned  annual income (as
defined in the Code) and in applying these limitations not more than $200,000 of
"earned income" may be taken into account.

    CORPORATE  PENSION  AND PROFIT  SHARING  PLANS:  The Fund makes  available a
Prototype Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Prototype Profit Sharing Plan.

    All  purchases  and  redemptions  of Fund shares  pursuant to any one of the
Fund's tax sheltered plans must be carried out in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan. Accordingly, all plan documents should be reviewed carefully before
adopting or  enrolling  in the Plan.  Investors  should  especially  note that a
penalty  tax of 10%  may  be  imposed  by the  IRS 

                                       10

<PAGE>

on early withdrawals  under corporate,  Keogh or IRA plans. It is recommended by
the IRS that an investor  consult a tax  adviser  before  investing  in the Fund
through any of these plans.

    An  investor  participating  in any  of  the  Fund's  special  plans  has no
obligation to continue to invest in the Fund and may terminate the Plan with the
Fund at any time.  Except for  expenses of sales and  promotion,  executive  and
administrative  personnel,  and certain services which are furnished by LMC, the
cost of the plans generally is borne by the Fund; however, each IRA Plan account
is subject to an annual maintenance fee of $12.00 charged by the Agent.

                                   TAX MATTERS

    The  following is only a summary of certain  additional  tax  considerations
generally  affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the
Prospectus.  No attempt is made to  present a  detailed  explanation  of the tax
treatment of the Fund or its  shareholders,  and the discussions here and in the
Prospectus are not intended as substitutes for careful tax planning.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company

    The Fund has elected to be taxed as a  regulated  investment  company  under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a
regulated  investment company,  the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on
the portion of its net investment income (i.e., taxable interest,  dividends and
other  taxable  ordinary  income,  net of expenses)  and capital gain net income
(i.e.,  the excess of capital gains over capital  losses) that it distributes to
shareholders,  provided  that it  distributes  at  least  90% of its  investment
company  taxable  income  (i.e.,  net  investment  income  and the excess of net
short-term  capital gain over net  long-term  capital loss) for the taxable year
(the  "Distribution  Requirement"),  and satisfies certain other requirements of
the Code that are  described  below.  Distributions  by the Fund made during the
taxable year or, under specified  circumstances,  within twelve months after the
close of the taxable year, will be considered  distributions of income and gains
of the taxable year and can therefore satisfy the Distribution Requirement.

    In  addition  to  satisfying  the  Distribution  Requirement,   a  regulated
investment  company  must:  (1)  derive at least 90% of its  gross  income  from
dividends,  interest,  certain payments with respect to securities loans,  gains
from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign  currencies
(to the  extent  such  currency  gains are  directly  related  to the  regulated
investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and
other  income  (including  but not  limited  to gains from  options,  futures or
forward  contracts)  derived  with  respect to its business of investing in such
stock,  securities or currencies the "Income Requirement");  and (2) derive less
than 30% of its gross income  (exclusive of certain gains on designated  hedging
transactions  that are offset by realized  or  unrealized  losses on  offsetting
positions)  from the sale or other  disposition of stock,  securities or foreign
currencies (or options, futures or forward contracts thereon) held for less than
three months the  "Short-Short  Gain Test").  However,  foreign  currency gains,
including  those  derived from options,  futures and  forwards,  will not in any
event be  characterized  as Short-Short Gain if they are directly related to the
regulated investment company's investments in stock or securities (or options or
futures  thereon).  Because of the  Short-Short  Gain Test, the Fund may have to
limit the sale of  appreciated  securities  that it has held for less than three
months.  However,  the  Short-Short  Gain  Test will not  prevent  the Fund from
disposing of investments at a loss,  since the  recognition of a loss before the
expiration of the  three-month  holding period is disregarded  for this purpose.
Interest (including original issue discount) received by the Fund at maturity or
upon the  disposition  of a security held for less than three months will not be
treated  as gross  income  derived  from the sale or other  disposition  of such
security within the meaning of the Short-Short Gain Test.  However,  income that
is attributable to realized market  appreciation will be treated as gross income
from the sale or other disposition of securities for this purpose.

    In general,  gain or loss  recognized by the Fund on the  disposition  of an
asset  will  be a  capital  gain  or  loss.  However,  gain  recognized  on  the
disposition  of a debt  obligation  purchased  by the Fund at a market  discount
(generally,  at a price  less than its  principal  amount)  will be  treated  as
ordinary  income to the  extent of the  portion  of the  market  discount  which
accrued  during  the  period  of time the Fund  held  the  debt  obligation.  In
addition,  under the rules of Code Section 988,  gain or loss  recognized on the
disposition of a debt obligation  denominated in a foreign currency or an option
with respect thereto (but only to the extent  attributable to changes in foreign
currency  exchange  rates),  and gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a
foreign currency forward contract, futures contract, option or similar financial
instrument,  or  of  foreign  currency  itself,  except  for  regulated  futures
contracts or  non-equity  options  subject to Code Section 1256 (unless the Fund
elects otherwise), will generally be treated as ordinary income or loss.

    In  general,  for  purposes  of  determining  whether  capital  gain or loss
recognized  by  the  Fund  on  the  disposition  of an  asset  is  long-term  or
short-term,  the holding period of the asset may be affected if (1) the asset is
used  to  close  a  "short  sale"  (which  includes  for  certain  purposes  the
acquisition of a put option) or is  substantially  identical to another asset so

                                       11


<PAGE>

used; (2) the asset is otherwise held by the Fund as part of a "straddle" (which
term generally  excludes a situation  where the asset is stock and Fund grants a
qualified  covered  call  option  (which,   among  other  things,  must  not  be
deep-in-the-money) with respect thereto); or (3) the asset is stock and the Fund
grants an  in-the-money  qualified  covered  call option with  respect  thereto.
However,  for purposes of the  Short-Short  Gain Test, the holding period of the
asset  disposed  of may be  reduced  only in the case of clause  (1)  above.  In
addition,  the Fund may be  required to defer the  recognition  of a loss on the
disposition  of an  asset  held as  part  of a  straddle  to the  extent  of any
unrecognized gain on the offsetting position.

    Any  gain  recognized  by the  Fund on the  lapse  of,  or any  gain or loss
recognized  by the Fund from a closing  transaction  with  respect to, an option
written by the Fund will be treated as a short-term  capital  gain or loss.  For
purposes of the  Short-Short  Gain Test, the holding period of an option written
by the  Fund  will  commence  on the date it is  written  and end on the date it
lapses or the date a closing transaction is entered into. Accordingly,  the Fund
may be limited in its ability to write  options which expire within three months
and to enter into  closing  transactions  at a gain within  three  months of the
writing of options.

    Transactions  that may be engaged in by the Fund (such as regulated  futures
contracts,  certain foreign currency contracts, and options on stock indexes and
futures  contracts)  will be subject to special tax  treatment as "Section  1256
contracts."  Section  1256  contracts  are treated as if they are sold for their
fair market value on the last  business day of the taxable  year,  even though a
taxpayer's  obligations (or rights) under such contracts have not terminated (by
delivery, exercise, entering into a closing transaction or otherwise) as of such
date.  Any gain or loss  recognized  as a  consequence  of the  year-end  deemed
disposition of Section 1256 contracts is taken into account for the taxable year
together  with any other gain or loss that was  previously  recognized  upon the
termination of Section 1256 contracts during that taxable year. Any capital gain
or loss for the taxable year with respect to Section 1256  contracts  (including
any capital gain or loss arising as a consequence of the year-end deemed sale of
such contracts) is generally  treated as 60% long-term  capital gain or loss and
40% short-term capital gain or loss. A Fund, however, may elect not to have this
special tax treatment  apply to Section 1256 contracts that are part of a "mixed
straddle"  with  other  investments  of the  Fund  that  are  not  Section  1256
contracts. The IRS has held in several private rulings (and Treasury Regulations
now provide) that gains arising from Section 1256  contracts will be treated for
purposes of the Short-Short  Gain Test as being derived from securities held for
not less than three months if the gains arise as a result of a constructive sale
under Code Section 1256.

    The Fund may purchase  securities  of certain  foreign  investment  funds or
trusts which  constitute  passive  foreign  investment  companies  ("PFICs") for
federal  income tax  purposes.  If the Fund  invests in a PFIC,  it may elect to
treat the PFIC as a qualifying  electing  fund (a "QEF") in which event the Fund
will each year have  ordinary  income  equal to its pro rata share of the PFIC's
ordinary  earnings for the year and long-term capital gain equal to its pro rata
share of the PFIC's net  capital  gain for the year,  regardless  of whether the
Fund receives  distributions  of any such ordinary  earning or capital gain from
the PFIC.  If the Fund does not  (because  it is unable  to,  chooses  not to or
otherwise)  elect  to  treat  the PFIC as a QEF,  then in  general  (1) any gain
recognized  by the Fund upon sale or other  disposition  of its  interest in the
PFIC or any  excess  distribution  received  by the Fund  from the PFIC  will be
allocated  ratably over the Fund's  holding  period of its interest in the PFIC,
(2) the portion of such gain or excess  distribution so allocated to the year in
which the gain is recognized  or the excess  distribution  is received  shall be
included in the Fund's  gross  income for such year as ordinary  income (and the
distribution of such portion by the Fund to  shareholders  will be taxable as an
ordinary  income  dividend,  but such  portion will not be subject to tax at the
Fund  level),  (3) the Fund shall be liable for tax on the portions of such gain
or excess  distribution  so  allocated to prior years in an amount equal to, for
each such prior year, (i) the amount of gain or excess distribution allocated to
such prior year multiplied by the highest tax rate  (individual or corporate) in
effect for such prior year plus (ii)  interest  on the amount  determined  under
clause (i) for the  period  from the due date for filing a return for such prior
year  until  the date for  filing  a  return  for the year in which  the gain is
recognized  or the excess  distribution  is  received  at the rates and  methods
applicable to underpayments of tax for such period,  and (4) the distribution by
the Fund to shareholders of the portions of such gain or excess  distribution so
allocated to prior years (net of the tax payable by the Fund thereon) will again
be taxable to the shareholders as an ordinary income dividend.

    Under recently proposed Treasury Regulations the Fund can elect to recognize
as gain the excess,  as of the last day of its taxable  year, of the fair market
value of each share of PFIC stock  over the  Fund's  adjusted  tax basis in that
share ("mark to market gain").  Such mark to market gain will be included by the
Fund as ordinary  income,  such gain will not be subject to the Short-Short Gain
Test, and the Fund's holding period with respect to such PFIC stock commences on
the first day of the next taxable  year.  If the Fund makes such election in the
first taxable year it holds PFIC stock,  the Fund will include  ordinary  income
from any mark to market gain,  if any,  and will not incur the tax  described in
the previous paragraph.

    Treasury  Regulations permit a regulated  investment company, in determining
its investment  company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., the excess of
net  long-term  capital gain over net  short-term  capital loss) for any taxable
year,  to elect  (unless  it has made a taxable  year  election  for  excise tax
purposes as discussed  below) to treat all or any 

                                       12


<PAGE>

part of any net capital loss, any net long-term  capital loss or any net foreign
currency  loss  incurred  after  October  31 as if it had been  incurred  in the
succeeding year.

    In addition to satisfying the  requirements  described  above, the Fund must
satisfy  an  asset  diversification  test in  order to  qualify  as a  regulated
investment company.  Under this test, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's
taxable  year,  at least 50% of the value of the Fund's  assets must  consist of
cash and cash items, U.S. Government  securities,  securities of other regulated
investment companies,  and securities of other issuers (as to which the Fund has
not invested  more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in securities
of such  issuer  and as to which  the Fund  does not hold  more  than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer), and no more than 25% of the value
of its total assets may be invested in the  securities  of any one issuer (other
than U.S.  Government  securities and securities of other  regulated  investment
companies),  or in two or more  issuers  which the Fund  controls  and which are
engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses.  Generally, an option (call
or put) with  respect  to a  security  is treated as issued by the issuer of the
security not the issuer of the option.

    If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated  investment
company,  all of its taxable  income  (including  its net capital  gain) will be
subject  to  tax  at  regular   corporate   rates   without  any  deduction  for
distributions to  shareholders,  and such  distributions  will be taxable to the
shareholders  as  ordinary  dividends  to the extent of the Fund's  current  and
accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions  generally will be eligible
for the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies

    A 4% non-deductible  excise tax is imposed on a regulated investment company
that  fails  to  distribute  in each  calendar  year an  amount  equal to 98% of
ordinary taxable income for the calendar year and 98% of capital gain net income
for the one-year  period ended on October 31 of such  calendar  year (or, at the
election of a regulated investment company having a taxable year ending November
30 or  December  31, for its  taxable  year (a "taxable  year  election")).  The
balance of such income must be  distributed  during the next calendar  year. For
the  foregoing  purposes,  a regulated  investment  company is treated as having
distributed any amount on which it is subject to income tax for any taxable year
ending in such calendar year.

    For purposes of the excise tax, a regulated  investment  company shall:  (1)
reduce its capital  gain net income (but not below its net capital  gain) by the
amount of any net ordinary loss for the calendar year;  and (2) exclude  foreign
currency  gains and losses  incurred  after October 31 of any year (or after the
end of its taxable year if it has made a taxable year  election) in  determining
the amount of  ordinary  taxable  income  for the  current  calendar  year (and,
instead,  include such gains and losses in determining  ordinary  taxable income
for the succeeding calendar year).

    The Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of
its ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income prior to the end of each
calendar year to avoid liability for the excise tax.  However,  investors should
note  that  the Fund may in  certain  circumstances  be  required  to  liquidate
portfolio  investments  to make  sufficient  distributions  to avoid  excise tax
liability.

Fund Distributions

    The  Fund  anticipates  distributing  substantially  all of  its  investment
company taxable income for each taxable year. Such distributions will be taxable
to  shareholders  as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income
tax   purposes,   but  they   generally   should   not   qualify   for  the  70%
dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders.

    A Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders  its net capital gain
for each  taxable  year.  The Fund  currently  intends  to  distribute  any such
amounts.  If net capital gain is  distributed  and  designated as a capital gain
dividend,  it will  be  taxable  to  shareholders  as  long-term  capital  gain,
regardless of the length of time the  shareholder has held his shares or whether
such gain was recognized by the Fund prior to the date on which the  shareholder
acquired his shares.

    Conversely, if the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will
be taxed thereon (except to the extent of any available capital loss carryovers)
at the 35%  corporate  tax rate.  If the Fund  elects to retain its net  capital
gain,  it is  expected  that the Fund also will  elect to have  shareholders  of
record  on the  last day of its  taxable  year  treated  as if each  received  a
distribution  of his pro rata  share of such  gain,  with the  result  that each
shareholder  will be  required  to report his pro rata share of such gain on his
tax return as long-term  capital gain,  will receive a refundable tax credit for
his pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain,  and will  increase  the
tax basis for his shares by an amount equal to the deemed  distribution less the
tax credit.

    Ordinary  income  dividends  paid by the Fund with respect to a taxable year
will qualify for the 70%  dividends-received  deduction  generally  available to
corporations  (other than  corporations,  such as S corporations,  which are not
eligible for the deduction  because of their special  characteristics  and other
than for purposes of special taxes such as the 

                                       13


<PAGE>

accumulated  earnings tax and the personal holding company tax) to the extent of
the  amount  of  qualifying   dividends  received  by  the  Fund  from  domestic
corporations  for the taxable year. A dividend  received by the Fund will not be
treated as a qualifying dividend (1) if it has been received with respect to any
share of stock that the Fund has held for less than 46 days (91 days in the case
of certain preferred stock),  excluding for this purpose under the rules of Code
Section 246(c)(3) and (4): (i) any day more than 45 days (or 90 days in the case
of  certain  preferred  stock)  after  the  date  on  which  the  stock  becomes
ex-dividend  and (ii) any period during which the Fund has an option to sell, is
under a contractual obligation to sell, has made and not closed a short sale of,
is the grantor of a deep-in-the-money  or otherwise  nonqualified option to buy,
or has otherwise  diminished  its risk of loss by holding other  positions  with
respect to, such (or substantially  identical) stock; (2) to the extent that the
Fund is under an  obligation  (pursuant  to a short sale or  otherwise)  to make
related payments with respect to positions in  substantially  similar or related
property;  or (3) to the  extent  the  stock on which  the  dividend  is paid is
treated as  debt-financed  under the rules of Code Section 246A.  Moreover,  the
dividends-received  deduction for a corporate  shareholder  may be disallowed or
reduced  (1) if  the  corporate  shareholder  fails  to  satisfy  the  foregoing
requirements  with  respect to its shares of the Fund or (2) by  application  of
Code Section 246(b) which in general limits the dividends-received  deduction to
70% of the  shareholder's  taxable  income  (determined  without  regard  to the
dividends-received  deduction and certain other items).  Since an  insignificant
portion of the Fund will be  invested  in stock of  domestic  corporations,  the
ordinary   dividends   distributed   by  the  Fund  will  not  qualify  for  the
dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders.

    Alternative  minimum tax ("AMT") is imposed in addition  to, but only to the
extent it exceeds, the regular tax and is computed at a maximum marginal rate of
28% for noncorporate  taxpayers and 20% for corporate taxpayers on the excess of
the taxpayer's  alternative  minimum  taxable income  ("AMTI") over an exemption
amount. In addition,  under the Superfund  Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
1986, a tax is imposed for taxable years beginning after 1986 and before 1996 at
the rate of 0.12% on the  excess  of a  corporate  taxpayer's  AMTI  (determined
without  regard to the  deduction  for this tax and the AMT net  operating  loss
deduction)  over  $2  million.  For  purposes  of  the  corporate  AMT  and  the
environmental   superfund  tax  (which  are  discussed  above),   the  corporate
dividends-received  deduction is not itself an item of tax preference  that must
be added back to taxable  income or is otherwise  disallowed  in  determining  a
corporation's AMTI. However,  corporate  shareholders will generally be required
to take the full  amount of any  dividend  received  from the Fund into  account
(without a  dividends-received  deduction) in determining  its adjusted  current
earnings,  which are used in computing an additional  corporate  preference item
(i.e.,  75% of the excess of a corporate  taxpayer's  adjusted  current earnings
over its AMTI (determined  without regard to this item and the AMT net operating
loss deduction)) includable in AMTI.

    Investment  income  that may be  received  by the Fund from  sources  within
foreign  countries may be subject to foreign taxes  withheld at the source.  The
United  States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign  countries  which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from,  taxes on such income.
It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since
the amount of the Fund's  assets to be  invested  in  various  countries  is not
known.  If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the close of
its taxable year consist of the stock or securities of foreign corporations, the
Fund may  elect to "pass  through"  to the  Fund's  shareholders  the  amount of
foreign taxes paid by the Fund. If the Fund so elects, each shareholder would be
required to include in gross income, even though not actually received,  his pro
rata share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund, but would be treated as having
paid his pro rata share of such foreign taxes and would  therefore be allowed to
either  deduct  such  amount in  computing  taxable  income  or use such  amount
(subject to various Code  limitations)  as a foreign tax credit against  federal
income tax (but not both).  For  purposes of the  foreign tax credit  limitation
rules of the Code, each shareholder would treat as foreign source income his pro
rata share of such foreign taxes plus the portion of dividends received from the
Fund representing  income derived from foreign sources. No deduction for foreign
taxes  could be  claimed  by an  individual  shareholder  who  does not  itemize
deductions.  Each shareholder  should consult his own tax adviser  regarding the
potential application of foreign tax credits.

    Distributions  by the Fund that do not constitute  ordinary income dividends
or capital gain  dividends  will be treated as a return of capital to the extent
of (and in reduction of) the shareholder's  tax basis in his shares;  any excess
will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares, as discussed below.

    Distributions  by the Fund will be  treated in the  manner  described  above
regardless  of whether  such  distributions  are paid in cash or  reinvested  in
additional  shares of the Fund (or of another  fund).  Shareholders  receiving a
distribution  in the form of  additional  shares will be treated as  receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received,
determined as of the reinvestment  date. In addition,  if the net asset value at
the time a shareholder  purchases shares of the Fund reflects  undistributed net
investment  income  or  recognized   capital  gain  net  income,  or  unrealized
appreciation  in the  value of the  assets of the  Fund,  distributions  of such
amounts  will be  taxable to the  shareholder  in the  manner  described  above,
although such distributions  economically  constitute a return of capital to the
shareholder.

                                       14

    Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund into
account  in the year in which the  distributions  are made.  However,  dividends
declared  in  October,   November  or  December  of  any  year  and  payable  to
shareholders  of record on a  specified  date in such a month  will be deemed to
have been received by the shareholders  (and made by the Fund) on December 31 of
such  calendar  year if such  dividends  are  actually  paid in  January  of the
following year.  Shareholders  will be advised  annually as to the U.S.  federal
income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year.

    The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the U.S.
Treasury 31% of ordinary income  dividends and capital gain  dividends,  and the
proceeds of redemption of shares,  paid to any  shareholder (1) who has provided
either an incorrect  tax  identification  number or no number at all, (2) who is
subject to backup  withholding  by the IRS for  failure to report the receipt of
interest or dividend  income  properly,  or (3) who has failed to certify to the
Fund that it is not subject to backup withholding or that it is a corporation or
other "exempt recipient."

Sale or Redemption of Shares

    A  shareholder  will  recognize  gain or loss on the sale or  redemption  of
shares of the Fund in an amount equal to the difference  between the proceeds of
the sale or redemption and the  shareholder's  adjusted tax basis in the shares.
All or a portion of any loss so recognized may be disallowed if the  shareholder
purchases  other  shares of the Fund  within 30 days before or after the sale or
redemption.  In general,  any gain or loss  arising  from (or treated as arising
from) the sale or redemption  of shares of the Fund will be  considered  capital
gain or loss and will be long-term  capital gain or loss if the shares were held
for longer than one year.  However,  any capital  loss  arising from the sale or
redemption  of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term
capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain  dividends  received on
such shares. For this purpose,  the special holding period rules of Code Section
246(c)(3) and (4)  (discussed  above in connection  with the  dividends-received
deduction for  corporations)  generally  will apply in  determining  the holding
period  of  shares.  Long-term  capital  gains  of  noncorporate  taxpayers  are
currently  taxed at a maximum rate 11.6% lower than the maximum rate  applicable
to ordinary income. Capital losses in any year are deductible only to the extent
of  capital  gains  plus,  in the case of a  noncorporate  taxpayer,  $3,000  of
ordinary income.

Foreign Shareholders

    Taxation of a  shareholder  who, as to the United  States,  is a nonresident
alien  individual,  foreign  trust or estate,  foreign  corporation,  or foreign
partnership ("foreign shareholder"), depends on whether the income from the Fund
is  "effectively  connected"  with a U.S.  trade or business  carried on by such
shareholder.

    If the income from the Fund is not  effectively  connected with a U.S. trade
or business carried on by a foreign shareholder,  ordinary income dividends paid
to a foreign shareholder will be subject to U.S.  withholding tax at the rate of
30% (or lower treaty rate) upon the gross amount of the  dividend.  Furthermore,
such a foreign shareholder may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of
30% (or  lower  treaty  rate) on the  gross  income  resulting  from the  Fund's
election to treat any foreign taxes paid by it as paid by its shareholders,  but
may not be allowed a deduction  against  this gross  income or a credit  against
this U.S.  withholding tax for the foreign  shareholder's pro rata share of such
foreign  taxes which it is treated as having  paid.  Such a foreign  shareholder
would generally be exempt from U.S.  federal income tax on gains realized on the
sale of shares of the Fund,  capital gain dividends and amounts  retained by the
Fund that are designated as undistributed capital gains.

    If the income from the Fund is  effectively  connected  with a U.S. trade or
business carried on by a foreign  shareholder,  then ordinary income  dividends,
capital gain  dividends,  and any gains  realized upon the sale of shares of the
Fund will be subject to U.S.  federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S.
Citizens or domestic corporations.

    In the case of foreign noncorporate  shareholders,  the Fund may be required
to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 31% on  distributions  that are
otherwise  exempt from  withholding  tax (or taxable at a reduced  treaty  rate)
unless  such  shareholders  furnish  the Fund with  proper  notification  of its
foreign status.

    The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits
of an  applicable  tax treaty may be  different  from  those  described  herein.
Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to
the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund,  including
the applicability of foreign taxes.

Effect of Future Legislation; Local Tax Considerations

    The foregoing general  discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is
based on the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder as in effect on
the date of this  Statement of Additional  Information.  Future  legislative  or
administrative   changes  or  court  decisions  may  significantly   change  the
conclusions  expressed  herein,  and any such  changes or  decisions  may have a
retroactive effect with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

                                       15

<PAGE>

    Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary  income  dividends and capital
gain dividends from regulated  investment  companies often differ from the rules
for U.S.  federal income taxation  described  above.  Shareholders  are urged to
consult their tax advisers as to the  consequences  of these and other state and
local tax rules affecting investment in the Fund.

                             PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

    For the purpose of quoting and comparing the performance of the Fund to that
of other mutual funds and to other relevant market indices in  advertisements or
in reports to shareholders,  performance may be stated in terms of total return.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC rules"),  funds
advertising performance must include total return quotes calculated according to
the following formula:

P(l+T)n           = ERV

Where:   P        = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

         T        = average annual total return

         n        = number of years (1, 5 or 10)

         ERV      = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
                    made at the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods or at
                    the end of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods (or fractional 
                    portion thereof).

    Under the foregoing  formula,  the time periods used in advertising  will be
based on rolling calendar  quarters,  updated to the last day of the most recent
quarter prior to submission of the advertising for  publication,  and will cover
one, five and ten year periods or a shorter period dating from the effectiveness
of the Fund's  Registration  Statement.  In  calculating  the ending  redeemable
value,  all  dividends  and  distributions  by the Fund are assumed to have been
reinvested at net asset value as described in the prospectus on the reinvestment
dates during the period.  Total return, or "T" in the formula above, is computed
by finding the average  annual  compounded  rates of return over the 1, 5 and 10
year  periods (or  fractional  portion  thereof)  that would  equate the initial
amount invested to the ending  redeemable  value. Any recurring  account charges
that might in the future be imposed by the Fund would be included at that time.

    The Fund may also  from time to time  include  in such  advertising  a total
return figure that is not calculated according to the formula set forth above in
order to compare more accurately the performance of the Fund with other measures
of  investment  return.  For example,  in comparing the Fund's total return with
data published by Lipper Analytical  Services,  Inc., or with the performance of
the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index or the Russell 2000, the Fund calculates
its  aggregate  total  return for the  specified  periods of time  assuming  the
investment  of $10,000 in Fund  shares and  assuming  the  reinvestment  of each
dividend  or other  distribution  at net asset value on the  reinvestment  date.
Percentage  increases  are  determined by  subtracting  the initial value of the
investment  from the ending value and by dividing the remainder by the beginning
value.

                               SHAREHOLDER REPORTS

    Shareholders will receive reports at least semi-annually  showing the Fund's
holdings and other  information.  In addition,  shareholders will receive annual
financial  statements  audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the Fund's  independent
auditors.

NOTES:

    (1) The  Lexington  SmallCap  Value Fund,  Inc.  (the  "Fund") was formed on
        August  29,  1995  as a  Maryland  Corporation.  The  Fund  has  had  no
        operations  through October 27, 1995 other than matters  relating to its
        organization  and  registration  as a diversified,  open-end  investment
        company  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940  and the  sale and
        issuance  of  10,000  shares  of  its  common  stock  to  the  Lexington
        Management  Corporation  at an aggregate  purchase  price of $100,000 to
        provide the initial capital of the Fund.

    (2) Organization and initial  offering  expenses are to be borne by the Fund
        and were  advanced by  Lexington  Management  Corporation  (LMC).  It is
        estimated  that  such  expenses  will  not  exceed  $50,000  and will be
        amortized  from the date  operations  commence over a period which it is
        expected that a benefit will be realized,  not to exceed five years. The
        Fund will  reimburse LMC for such expenses when the Fund's assets exceed
        $20  million  or when  the Fund has  completed  one year of  operations,
        whichever occurs first. Lexington Management Corporation has agreed that
        in the event that any of the initial  10,000 shares are redeemed  during
        the period of amortization of the Fund's  organizational  expenses,  the
        redemption   proceeds   will  be   reduced   by  any  such   unamortized
        organizational  expenses in the same proportion as the number of initial
        shares being  redeemed  bears to the number of initial  shares  (10,000)
        outstanding at the time of redemption.

    (3) The Fund intends to comply in its initial year and  thereafter  with the
        requirements  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  necessary to qualify as a
        regulated  investment company and as such will not be subject to federal
        income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital
        gains) which is distributed to shareholders.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                 April 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Lexington  SmallCap  Value Fund,  Inc.  (the "Fund") is an open-end  diversified
management  investment  company  registered under the Investment  Company Act of
1940, as amended.  The Fund's investment  objective is to seek long-term capital
appreciation.  The  following is a summary of  significant  accounting  policies
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

    Investments  Security  transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized  gains and losses  from  investment  transactions  are  reported on the
identified  cost basis.  Securities  traded on a recognized  stock  exchange are
valued at the last sale  price  prior to the time when  assets are valued on the
principal  exchange on which the  securities  are  traded.  If no sales price is
recorded,  the mean  between the last bid and asked  prices is used.  Securities
traded on the  over-the-counter  market are valued at the mean  between the last
current bid and asked price. Short-term securities having maturity of 60 days or
less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates  market value.  Securities
for which  market  quotations  are not readily  available  and other  assets are
valued by Fund  management in good faith under the direction of the Fund's Board
of Directors.  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.

    Federal Income Taxes It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to "regulated  investment companies" and
to  distribute  all of its taxable  income to its  shareholders.  Therefore,  no
provision for Federal income taxes is required.

    Deferred  Organization  Expenses  Organization  expenses aggregating $48,337
have been  deferred and are being  amortized on a straight  line basis over five
years.

2. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliate

The Fund pays an  investment  advisory fee to Lexington  Management  Corporation
("LMC") at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's  average daily net assets.  In
connection with providing  investment advisory services,  LMC has entered into a
sub-advisory contract with CTI under which CTI provides the Fund with investment
management services.  Pursuant to the terms of the sub-advisory contract between
LMC and CTI, LMC pays CTI a monthly sub-advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.50%
of the Fund's  average daily net assets.  The  sub-advisory  fee will be paid by
LMC, not the Fund. LMC has agreed to voluntarily limit the total expenses of the
Fund (excluding  interest,  taxes,  brokerage,  and  extraordinary  expenses but
including the management fee and operating  expenses) to an annual rate of 1.75%
of the Fund's average daily net assets through April 30, 1996.  Effective May 1,
1996  the  total  annual  expenses  of  the  Fund  (excluding  interest,  taxes,
brokerage,  and  extraordinary  expenses but  including the  management  fee and
operating  expenses)  will not  exceed the level of  expenses  which the Fund is
permitted to bear under the most restrictive  expense  limitation imposed by any
state in which shares of the Fund are offered for sale. The investment  advisory
fee and expense reimbursement are set forth in the statement of operations.

The Fund also  reimbursed  LMC for certain  expenses,  including  accounting and
shareholder servicing costs, which are incurred by the Fund, but paid by LMC.
