depend on the interest rates and offering prices of the securities in this
Series and may vary materially from that of the previous Series. Investors
should contact account executives of the underwriters who will be informed of
the expected effective date of this Series and who will be supplied with
complete information with respect to such Series on the day of and immediately
prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to Units of

- -----------------------------------------

*The  business day prior to the initial  Date of Deposit.  The initial Date of
Deposit is the date on which the Trust Agreement was signed and the deposit of
Securities with the Trustee made.

(1) The first dividend  distribution  will be made on July 1, 1996 (the "First
Distribution Date") to all Unit holders of record on June 15, 1996 (the "First
Record Date").

(2) On the  initial  Date of  Deposit  there  will be no cash in the Income or
Capital  Accounts.  Anyone purchasing Units after such date will have included
in the Public Offering Price a pro rata share of any cash in such Accounts.

(3) Any  redemptions of over 2,500 Units may, upon request by a redeeming Unit
holder,  be made  "in  kind"  by the  Trustee,  who will  either  forward  the
distributed  securities to the Unit holder or sell the securities on behalf of
the redeeming  Unit holder and  distribute  the proceeds (net of any brokerage
commissions  or other expenses  incurred in the sale) to the Unit holder.  See
"Liquidity--Trustee Redemption" in Part B.

(4) Although historically the sponsors of unit investment trusts ("UITs") have
paid all the costs of  establishing  such UITs,  this Trust (and therefore the
Unit holders)  will bear all or a portion of its  organizational  costs.  Such
organizational   costs  include:  the  cost  of  preparing  and  printing  the
registration statement,  the trust indenture and other closing documents;  and
the  initial  audit  of the  Trust.  Total  organizational  expenses  will  be
amortized  over the life of the Trust.  See "Rights of Unit  Holders--Expenses
and Charges--Initial Expenses" in Part B.

   
(5) Assumes the Trust will reach a size of 2,000,000 Units as estimated by the
Sponsor;  expenses  per 100 Units will vary with the actual size of the Trust.
If the Trust does not reach this Unit level,  the Estimated  Total Annual Fees
and Expenses will be adversely affected.

                                   THE TRUST

   
The Trust is a unit investment trust designated  Glickenhaus Value Portfolios,
The 1996 Equity  Collection  (the "1996  Series" or  "Trust").  The Sponsor is
Glickenhaus  & Co. The  objective of the Trust is to seek growth of capital by
investing in securities  which are  undervalued  as determined by the Sponsor.
Current  income will be secondary  to the  objective  of capital  growth.  The
Sponsor cannot give assurance that the Trust's objectives can be achieved. The
Trust  contains an  underlying  portfolio of equity  securities  consisting of
common stocks and American  Depository  Receipts ("ADRs")  (collectively,  the
"Securities"),  which  have  been  purchased  by  the  Trust  based  upon  the
selections of the Sponsor.  In selecting  the  Securities  for the Trust,  the
Sponsor normally will consider the following factors, among others: (1) values
of individual  securities  relative to their earnings,  dividends,  historical
prices,  book assets or other measures of fundamental value; and (2) trends in
the  determinants  of corporate  profits,  corporate cash flow,  balance sheet
changes,  management capability and practices. See "The Trust--The Securities"
in Part B. The Trust will terminate  three years and 30 days after the initial
Date of Deposit.  Upon  termination,  Unit holders may elect to receive  their
terminating distributions in cash, in the form of in-kind distributions of the
Trust's  Securities,  if they own at least  2,500  units,  or,  subject to the
receipt by the Trust of an appropriate exemptive order from the Securities and
Exchange Commission,  may utilize their terminating  distributions to purchase
units of a future series of the Trust at a reduced sales charge.  There can be
no  assurance  that the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  will grant such
exemptive   order.   See   "Termination"   in   this   Part   A   and   "Trust
Administration--Trust   Termination"  in  Part  B.  Eleven  issues  have  been
deposited in the Trust and all of such issues are represented by the Sponsor's
contracts  to purchase,  which are expected to settle on or about  January 29,
1996.
    

With  the  deposit  of the  Securities  in the  Trust on the  initial  Date of
Deposit,  the  Sponsor  established  a  proportionate  relationship  among the
aggregate value of the specified  Securities in the Trust.  During the 90 days
subsequent  to the  initial  Date of  Deposit,  the  Sponsor  may,  but is not
obligated  to,  deposit from time to time  additional  Securities in the Trust
("Additional Securities"), contracts to purchase Additional Securities or cash
(or a bank  letter of credit in lieu of cash) with  instructions  to  purchase
Additional  Securities,  maintaining  to the extent  practicable  the original
proportionate  relationship  of the number of shares of each  Security  in the
Trust portfolio immediately prior to such deposit, thereby creating additional
Units which will be offered to the public by means of this  Prospectus.  These
additional Units will each represent, to the extent practicable,  an undivided
interest in the same number and type of securities of identical issuers as are
represented  by Units  issued on the initial  Date of  Deposit.  It may not be
possible to maintain the exact original  proportionate  relationship among the
number of shares of Securities  in the Trust  portfolio on the initial Date of
Deposit  with the deposit of  Additional  Securities  because of,  among other
reasons,  purchase  requirements,  changes in prices, or the unavailability of
Securities.  Deposits of Additional  Securities in the Trust subsequent to the
90-day period following the initial Date of Deposit must replicate exactly the
proportionate  relationship  among the  shares of each  Security  in the Trust
portfolio at the end of the initial 90-day period.  The number and identity of
Securities  in the Trust  will be  adjusted  to  reflect  the  disposition  of
Securities  and/or the  receipt of a stock  dividend,  a stock  split or other
distribution  with respect to such Securities.  The portfolio of the Trust may
change slightly based on such disposition. Securities received in exchange for
shares will be similarly treated.  Substitute Securities may be acquired under
specified  conditions  when Securities  originally  deposited in the Trust are
unavailable  (see  "The  Trust--Substitution  of  Securities"  in Part B).  As
additional  Units  are  issued  by the  Trust as a result  of the  deposit  of
Additional Securities, the aggregate value of the Securities in the Trust will
be increased and the fractional undivided interest in the Trust represented by
each unit will be  decreased.  As of the Date of  Deposit,  Units in the Trust
represent an undivided  interest in the  principal and net income of the Trust
in the ratio of one hundred Units for the indicated initial aggregate value of
Securities  in the Trust on the initial Date of Deposit as is set forth in the
Summary of Essential  Information  (see "The  Trust--


                                      A-4
<PAGE>

Organization" in Part B) (For the specific number of Units in the Trust as of
the initial Date of Deposit, see "Summary of Essential Information" in this Part
A).

The Sponsor does not make a primary  over-the-counter  market in shares of any
of the companies  included in the Portfolio of the Trust. The Sponsor does not
act as an  underwriter,  manager or  co-manager  of a public  offering  of the
securities of any of the issuers in the Trust portfolio.


                              RISK CONSIDERATIONS

   
An  investment in Units of the Trust should be made with an  understanding  of
the risks  inherent in any  investment in the  Securities  including:  (i) for
common  stocks,  the risk that the  financial  condition of the issuers of the
Securities  may become  impaired  or that the general  condition  of the stock
market may worsen (both of which may contribute  directly to a decrease in the
value of the  Securities  and thus in the value of the Units);  (ii) for ADRs,
the risks associated with government,  economic, monetary and fiscal policies,
inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or
regional  political,  economic or banking crises;  and (iii) for common stocks
issued  by  domestic  real  estate  investment  trusts  ("REITS"),  the  risks
associated  with the  ownership of real  property  (in addition to  securities
market risks).

The portfolio of the Trust is fixed and not "managed" by the Sponsor.  All the
Securities  in  the  Trust  are  liquidated  during  a 30  day  period  at the
termination of the three year life of the Trust. Since the Trust will not sell
Securities in response to ordinary market fluctuation, but only at the Trust's
termination or to meet  redemptions,  the amount realized upon the sale of the
Securities  may not be the highest price  attained by an  individual  Security
during the life of the Trust.

The  Trust  may  purchase  Securities  that  are not  registered  ("Restricted
Securities")  under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), but can
be  offered  and sold to  "qualified  institutional  buyers"  as that  term is
defined  in  the  Securities  Act.  The  Trust's   investments  in  Restricted
Securities  shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate  amount of securities in the
portfolio.  As of the Date of Deposit, none of the Securities in the portfolio
are Restricted Securities. (See "The Trust--Risk Considerations--Liquidity".)

In  connection  with the deposit of  Additional  Securities  subsequent to the
initial  Date of  Deposit,  if cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) is
deposited with instructions to purchase Securities, to the extent the price of
a Security  increases  or  decreases  between the deposit of such cash and the
time the  Security  is  purchased,  Units may  represent  less or more of that
Security and more or less of the other  Securities in the Trust.  In addition,
brokerage  fees incurred in purchasing  Securities  with cash  deposited  with
instructions to purchase the Securities will be an expense of the Trust. Price
fluctuations  during  the  period  from  the time of  deposit  to the time the
Securities are purchased, and payment of brokerage fees, will affect the value
of every Unit  holders's  Units and the income per Unit received by the Trust.
(See "The Trust--Risk Considerations" in Part B of this Prospectus.)
    


                             PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE

The Public Offering Price per 100 Units of the Trust is equal to the aggregate
value of the underlying Securities in the Trust divided by the number of Units
outstanding times 100 plus a sales charge of 3.9% of the Public

                                      A-5

Offering  Price  per 100  Units  (or  4.058%  of the net  amount  invested  in
Securities  per 100 Units ) on sales of fewer than 5,000 Units.  Any cash held
by the  Trust  will be added to the  Public  Offering  Price.  For  additional
information  regarding the Public Offering Price, the descriptions of dividend
and  principal  distributions,  repurchase  and  redemption of Units and other
essential  information  regarding  the Trust,  see the  Summary  of  Essential
Information for the Trust. During the first year of the Trust orders involving
at least 5,000 Units will be  entitled  to a volume  discount  from the Public
Offering  Price.  The Public Offering Price per Unit may vary on a daily basis
in  accordance  with  fluctuations  in the aggregate  value of the  underlying
Securities.  (See  "Public  Offering"  in Part B.) The figures  above assume a
purchase of 100 Units. The price of a single Unit, or any multiple thereof, is
calculated  by  dividing  the Public  Offering  Price per 100 Units by 100 and
multiplying by the number of Units. (See "Tax Status" in Part B.) If the Units
of the Trust had been  available  for sale on  January  23,  1996,  the Public
Offering Price per 100 Units would have been $1,000.00.

Distributions  of net income  (other  than  amortized  discount)  received  in
respect  to any of the  Securities  by the  Trust  will be  made by the  Trust
semi-annually.  Long-term capital gains  distributions  received in respect to
any of the Securities by the Trust, however, will be made by the Trust no more
frequently than annually. The first dividend distributions will be made on the
First Distribution Date to all Unit holders of record on the First Record Date
and thereafter  distributions will be made semi-annually on the first business
day of July and  January  (the  "Distribution  Date").  (See  "Rights  of Unit
Holders--Distributions"  in Part B. For the specific  dates  representing  the
First  Distribution  Date and the First Record Date, see "Summary of Essential
Information.")
    


                               MARKET FOR UNITS

The Sponsor,  although not obligated to do so, currently intends to maintain a
secondary  market for the Units of the Trust after the initial public offering
has been completed. The secondary market repurchase price will be based on the
market   value   of   the   Securities   in   the   Trust   portfolio.    (See
"Liquidity--Sponsor  Repurchase" for a description on how the secondary market
repurchase  price will be  determined.)  If a market is not  maintained a Unit
holder will be able to redeem his Units with the  Trustee at the then  current
Redemption  Price per Unit. (See  "Liquidity--Trustee  Redemption" in Part B.)
The  principal   trading   market  for  certain   Securities  may  be  in  the
over-the-counter market. As a result, the existence of a liquid trading market
for these Securities may depend on whether dealers will make a market in these
Securities.  There can be no assurance of the making or the  maintaining  of a
market for any of the  Securities  contained in the Trust  portfolio or of the
liquidity of the Securities in any markets made. In addition, the Trust may be
restricted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 from selling Securities to
the Sponsor. The price at which the Securities may be sold to meet redemptions
and the value of the Units will be adversely  affected if trading  markets for
the Securities are limited or absent.

                                  TERMINATION

During  the  30 day  period  prior  to the  Mandatory  Termination  Date  (the
"Liquidation Period"), Securities will begin to be sold in connection with the
termination  of the Trust  and all  Securities  will be sold by the  Mandatory
Termination  Date. The Trustee may utilize the services of the Sponsor for the
sale of all or a portion of the  Securities  in the Trust.  The  Sponsor  will
receive brokerage  commissions from the Trust in connection with such sales in
accordance with applicable law. The Sponsor will determine the manner,  timing
and  execution  of the sales of the  underlying  Securities.  Unit holders may
elect one of the three options in receiving their  terminating  distributions.
Unit holders may elect:  (1) to receive their pro rata share of the underlying
Securities in kind, if they own at least 2,500 units, (2) to receive cash upon
the  liquidation of their pro rata share of the  underlying  Securities or (3)
subject to the receipt by the Trust of an appropriate exemptive order from the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  to invest the amount of cash they would
have received upon the  liquidation  of their pro rata share of the underlying
Securities  in units of a future  series of the Trust (if one is offered) at a
reduced  sales  charge.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Securities  and
Exchange   Commission   will   grant   such   exemptive   order.   See  "Trust
Administration--Trust  Termination"  in  Part  B for a  description  of how to
select a termination distribution option.

The Sponsor will attempt to sell the  Securities as quickly as they can during
the  Liquidation  Period  without,  in their  judgment,  materially  adversely
affecting the market price of the  Securities,  but all of the Securities will
in any event be disposed of by the end of the Liquidation  Period. The Sponsor
does not anticipate  that the period will be longer than 30 days, and it could
be as short as one day,  depending on the  liquidity of the  Securities  being
sold. The liquidity of any Security depends on the daily trading volume of the
Security  and the  amount  that  the  Sponsor  has  available  for sale on any
particular day.

It is expected (but not required) that the Sponsor will  generally  follow the
following guidelines in selling the Securities:  for highly liquid Securities,
the Sponsor will generally sell Securities on the first day of the Liquidation
Period;  for less  liquid  Securities,  on each of the  first  two days of the
Liquidation  Period,  the  Sponsor  will  generally  sell  any  amount  of any
underlying  Securities at a price no less than 1/2 of one point under the last
closing sale price of those Securities. On each of the following two days, the
price  limit will  increase to one point  under the last  closing  sale price.
After  four days,  the  Sponsor  intends  to sell at least a  fraction  of the
remaining  underlying  Securities,  the  numerator  of  which  is one  and the
denominator  of which is the total number of days  remaining  (including  that
day) in the Liquidation Period, without any price restrictions.

During the  Liquidation  Period,  Unit  holders who have not chosen to receive
distributions-in-kind  will be at risk to the extent that  Securities  are not
sold;  for this reason the Sponsor will be inclined to sell the  Securities in
as short a period as they can without materially adversely affecting the price
of the  Securities.  (See "Tax Status" in Part B.) Unit holders should consult
their own tax advisers in this regard.

The Sponsor, Trustee, and Unit holders,
  Glickenhaus Value Portfolios, The 1996 Equity Collection

   
  We have audited the  accompanying  Statement of Condition and Portfolio (the
"financial  statements") of the Glickenhaus Value Portfolios,  The 1996 Equity
Collection  as of  January  24,  1996.  These  financial  statements  are  the
responsibility of the Sponsor.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the financial statements based on our audit.
    

  We  conducted  our audit in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and  perform  the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit  provides a reasonable  basis for our
opinion.  The irrevocable  letters of credit  deposited in connection with the
securities owned as of January 24, 1996, pursuant to contracts to purchase, as
shown in the Statement of Condition,  were  confirmed to us by The Bank of New
York, the Trustee.

   
  In our opinion,  the financial  statements  present fairly,  in all material
respects, the financial position of the Glickenhaus Value Portfolios, The 1996
Equity Collection,  at January 24, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

 ...Experience

          The 1996 Equity Collection is assembled by a team of professionals
who have been refining their stock-picking strategy for the last quarter of a
century. The team's director, Seth M. Glickenhaus, began his career on Wall
Street back in 1934. He has experienced Wall Street's best year (1954), one of
the worst (1937), the creation of the World Bank, the suspension of the Gold
Standard and the initial public offering of McDonalds - all from his vantage
point on Wall Street. When it comes to investments, the Glickenhaus team has
"been there, seen it, done that".

          The equity team's extensive investment experience, combined with
their state-of-the-art computer systems, direct lines to the major exchanges
and support staff of one hundred are some of the reasons that Glickenhaus &
Co. has attracted over $3 billion from hundreds of institutional clients
including:

          o Chrysler Corporation

          o Major League Baseball

          o Duracell, Inc.

          o MCI Corporation

          o City of Medford

          o Philadelphia Gas Works Retirement Reserve

          Now the institutional firm is offering their value stock selection
to the public with The 1996 Equity Collection.
















Inclusion on the list above does not imply approval of
Glickenhaus & Co. or its investment advisory services.

THE 1996 EQUITY COLLECTION

Selected By Value Equity Specialists For Investors Who Seek
Capital Growth and Professional Selection.


          Formulas, charting, sectors and star ratings - there's no substitute
for experience when it comes to investing in the stock market. That's one
reason why some of the largest corporations in America, including Chrysler,
Duracell and MCI, have turned to Glickenhaus & Co. for investment advice. Seth
Glickenhaus, known as the "Veteran" by The Wall Street Journal and the
"Seasoned Salt" by Fortune Magazine, has established a reputation throughout
the Wall Street community as a value equity specialist. He, along with his
senior equity team, each with over twenty years of institutional investment
experience, and his staff of 100, manage over $3 billion for high net-worth
individuals, corporations and government entities.

          Now Seth Glickenhaus and his senior equity team are offering their
value selections to the public with The 1996 Equity Collection. The Collection
offers the potential for price appreciation, the convenience of a packaged
portfolio, the benefits of a buy-and-hold investment, and the relative safety
of value equities - for as little as $1,000.

Equity investments have a greater degree of market risks than bonds, notes and
bills and, unlike Government bonds and Treasury bills, are not guaranteed as
to timely payment of interest and principal.

THE 1996 EQUITY COLLECTION - SIMPLE AND AFFORDABLE.

          The Collection is simply a fixed portfolio of carefully chosen
equities. It's that simple. You could create your own portfolio by buying and
holding a portfolio of stocks, but it would require years of investment
experience, possible odd-lot penalties and the inconveniences of individual
stocks.


SECURITY SELECTION - STOCKS FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR.

          The Portfolios will be comprised of value securities those equities
which can be acquitted at discounts in relation to their fundamental values
(as determined by the Sponsor) with the expectation that they will reach
fair-to-premium values.

          The merits of value investing were first published by the fathers of
modern

334961.1

<PAGE>



investment theory, Graham and Dodd, back in 1934. Sixty years later, the
National Bureau of Economic Research conducted extensive research on the
performance of value stocks from 1968 to 1990 and concluded in The Journal of
Finance that:

          o    Investments in out-of-favor (value) stocks have outperformed
               investments in Glamour (popular) stocks.

          o    The reason that value stocks have outperformed popular stocks
               by wide margins is that market participants have consistently
               overestimated the growth rate of popular stocks, and
               underestimated the growth rate of value stocks.

          o    Using conventional approaches to fundamental risk, investing in
               out-of-favor securities is no riskier than investing in popular
               securities, and may actually pose fewer risks in declining
               markets.


WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT

          The Glickenhaus team of portfolio managers and equity analysts,
under the leadership of Seth M. Glickenhaus, select ten to twenty common
stocks or ADRs (American Depository Receipts) from the New York Stock
Exchange, American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ that, in their opinion, offer the
highest potential for price appreciation.* Dividends and interest, if any,
will incidental to the selection process.

          When you purchase shares of the Collection, you will immediately
participate in any appreciation or depreciation of the underlying securities.
The shares that you purchase can be shipped to you in certificate form or held
by your financial representative. As questions or needs arise, you can direct
them toward your representative or to the Collection Trustee, The Bank of New
York. Dividends, if any, will be distributed annually each January.

          Like mutual funds, you can monitor the Collection's daily price via
a toll-free number. If you wish to sell your shares back to the Trust, you can
do so on any business day that the New York Stock Exchange is open - provided
that you can deliver your certificates in negotiable form in the specified
time. Your redemption price may be more or less that the 
original purchase price, depending on market conditions. If you own 2,500
shares or more, you can elect, at any time, to exchange your shares of the
Collection for ownership of the individual securities.

          Each Collection has a three-year term, at which point the underlying
securities are liquidated and you may have the option to: 1) take the
proceeds, 2) take your portion of securities or 3) exchange the terminating
Collection for a new Collection.

- -------- * 

     There are no guarantees that the securities will appreciate in price, or
     that the aggregate performance of the Trust will equal that of the
     underlying securities. Consequently, only those investors that can assume
     the risks should consider investments in common stocks.

SUMMARY OF ADVANTAGES.


PROFESSIONAL EQUITY SELECTION

The securities for your portfolio are selected by Glickenhaus & Co., whose
senior equity team specialize in value equities and manage over $5.0 billion
for corporations, high net worth individuals and government equities.

BENEFITS OF A BUY-AND-HOLD STRATEGY

Because the Collection's portfolio is fixed, investors save on advisory fees
and trading commissions, and because the securities are purchased in blocks,
investors avoid odd-lot transaction penalties.

A BUYER FOR YOUR UNITS

You can sell your shares of the Collection on any day the New York Stock
Exchange is open without a back end charge or redemption fee - provided that
you can deliver your negotiable certificates to the Trust in the specified
time.

LOW MINIMUM INVESTMENT

You can invest in The 1996 Equity Collection for as little as $1,000 without
incurring odd-lot transaction fees or reduced liquidity.

INVESTING WITHOUT THE HASSLES

The securities are selected, purchased, and monitored for you, and the Trustee
performs all of the bookkeeping and administrative functions.

SEEKS PRICE APPRECIATION, NOT INVESTMENT INCOME

The Sponsors seek to buy securities which will provide capital appreciation
rather than income, which is subject to a lower and deferred federal tax rate.

CONVENIENT ROLLOVER OPTION

Investors will have the option to roll their shares into the new Collection at
maturity.

OPTIONAL IN-KIND DISTRIBUTION

Those holding 2,500 shares or more (approximately $25,000) will have the
option to exchange their shares of the Collection for pro rata ownership of
the individual securities.

                                   THE TRUST


Organization

  "Glickenhaus  Value Portfolios,  The 1996 Equity  Collection"  consists of a
"unit  investment  trust"  designated  as set  forth in Part A. The  Trust was
created under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a Trust  Indenture
and  Agreement  (the "Trust  Agreement"),  dated the initial  Date of Deposit,
between Glickenhaus & Co., as Sponsor, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee.

  On the initial  Date of  Deposit,  the  Sponsor  deposited  with the Trustee
common stock and ADRs,  including  funds and delivery  statements  relating to
contracts  for the  purchase of certain  such  securities  (collectively,  the
"Securities")  with an  aggregate  value as set forth in Part A and cash or an
irrevocable  letter of credit issued by a major  commercial bank in the amount
required  for such  purchases.  Thereafter  the  Trustee,  in exchange for the
Securities so deposited,  delivered to the Sponsor the Certificates evidencing
the  ownership of all Units of the Trust.  The Sponsor has a limited  right to
substitute  other  securities in the Trust  portfolio in the event of a failed
contract. See "The  Trust--Substitution of Securities".  The Sponsor may also,
in certain circumstances,  direct the Trustee to dispose of certain Securities
if the Sponsor believes that, because of market or credit  conditions,  or for
certain other reasons,  retention of the Security would be detrimental to Unit
holders. (See "Trust Administration--Portfolio Supervision.")

  As of the day prior to the initial Date of Deposit,  a "Unit"  represents an
undivided  interest  or pro rata share in the  Securities  of the Trust in the
ratio of one hundred  Units for the indicated  amount of the aggregate  market
value of the  Securities  initially  deposited in the Trust as is set forth in
the  "Summary  of  Essential  Information".  To the extent  that any Units are
redeemed by the Trustee,  the fractional  undivided interest or pro rata share
in such Trust represented by each unredeemed Unit will increase,  although the
actual  interest  in such  Trust  represented  by such  fraction  will  remain
unchanged.  Units will remain  outstanding  until  redeemed upon tender to the
Trustee by Unit holders, which may include the Sponsor or the Underwriters, or
until the termination of the Trust Agreement.

  With the  deposit  of the  Securities  in the Trust on the  initial  Date of
Deposit,  the  Sponsor  established  a  proportionate  relationship  among the
initial  aggregate value of specified  Securities in the Trust.  During the 90
days  subsequent  to the  initial  Date of  Deposit,  the  Sponsor may deposit
additional  Securities  in the Trust  that are  substantially  similar  to the
Securities already deposited in the Trust ("Additional Securities"), contracts
to purchase Additional  Securities or cash (or a bank letter of credit in lieu
of cash) with  instructions  to purchase  Additional  Securities,  in order to
create

<PAGE>



additional  Units,   maintaining  to  the  extent   practicable  the  original
proportionate  relationship  of the number of shares of each  Security  in the
Trust portfolio on the initial Date of Deposit.  These  additional  Units will
each represent,  to the extent practicable,  an undivided interest in the same
number and type of securities of identical issuers as are represented by Units
issued on the initial Date of the Deposit.  It may not be possible to maintain
the exact original  proportionate  relationship among the Securities deposited
on the initial  Date of Deposit  because of,  among  other  reasons,  purchase
requirements,  changes in prices, or unavailability of Securities.  Deposit of
Additional  Securities in the Trust  subsequent to the 90-day period following
the  initial  Date  of  Deposit  must  replicate   exactly  the  proportionate
relationship  among the shares of each Security in the Trust  portfolio at the
end of the initial 90-day period. The number and identity of Securities in the
Trust will be adjusted to reflect the  disposition  of  Securities  and/or the
receipt of a stock dividend,  a stock split or other distribution with respect
to  shares.  The  portfolio  of the Trust may  change  slightly  based on such
disposition and reinvestment.  Securities received in exchange for shares will
be similarly  treated.  Substitute  Securities may be acquired under specified
conditions when Securities  originally  deposited in the Trust are unavailable
(see "The Trust--Substitution of Securities" below). Units may be continuously
offered   to  the   public   by  means  of  this   Prospectus   (see   "Public
Offering--Distribution  of Units")  resulting  in a potential  increase in the
number of Units outstanding.  As additional Units are issued by the Trust as a
result of the deposit of Additional  Securities,  the  aggregate  value of the
Securities  in the  Trust  will  be  increased  and the  fractional  undivided
interest in the Trust represented by each Unit will be decreased.


Objectives

  The  objective  of the Trust is to seek  growth of capital by  investing  in
securities which are undervalued as determined by the Sponsor.  Current income
will be secondary to the objective of capital growth. The Trust will invest in
a  portfolio  of equity  securities  consisting  of common  stocks of domestic
issuers  and ADRs which are  selected  by the  Trust's  Sponsor  and which the
Sponsor believes will enable the Trust to achieve these objectives. All of the
Securities in the Trust, with the possible exception of Securities that are in
the form of ADRs,  are listed on the New York  Stock  Exchange,  the  American
Stock  Exchange or the National  Association of Securities  Dealers  Automated
Quotations  ("NASDAQ")  National  Market System and are generally  followed by
independent  investment research firms. There is no minimum  capitalization or
market trading  activity  requirement  for the selection of Securities for the
Trust's  portfolio.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Trust's  investment
objectives can be achieved.


The Securities

  In selecting  Securities for the Trust,  the Sponsor  normally will consider
the  following  factors,  among others:  (1) values of  individual  securities
relative to their earnings, dividends, historical prices, book assets or other
measures of fundamental value; and (2) trends in the determinants of corporate
profits, corporate cash flow, balance sheet changes, management capability and
practices.  The  Sponsor's  investment  philosophy  hinges  on  analyzing  and
understanding  individual  businesses  in  order  to  assess  their  long-term
potential. The Sponsor seeks to discover  well-positioned,  evolving companies
with  substantial  growth  prospects  which  are  typically  unnoticed  in the
marketplace.  This  enables  the  Sponsor to commit its funds and build up its
stake at relatively low prices.

  Some  of the  Securities  in the  Trust  may be in the  form of  ADRs.  ADRs
evidence American Depositary  Receipts which, in turn,  represent common stock
of non-U.S.  issuers deposited with a custodian in a depository.  In selecting
ADRs  for  deposit  into the  Trust  portfolio,  in  addition  to the  factors
associated  with the  selection  of  Securities  of any  issuer,  the  Sponsor
considers the following factors,  among others: (1) the location of the issuer
of the Securities

                                      B-2
300615.6

<PAGE>



underlying  the ADRs;  (2) the  likelihood  of favorable  market and political
conditions in the country in which such issuer is located;  and (3) the amount
of publicly available  information available from such issuer. The Trustee may
act as  depository  for certain of the ADRs  included in the  Portfolio of the
Trust.


Portfolio

  The  Trust  consists  of the  Securities  (or  contracts  to  purchase  such
Securities  together with an  irrevocable  letter or letters of credit for the
purchase of such  contracts)  and  Additional  Securities  deposited  upon the
creation  of  additional  Units as set forth above and  Substitute  Securities
acquired by the Trust as long as such  Securities may continue to be held from
time to time in the Trust  together  with  uninvested  cash  realized from the
disposition of Securities. Because certain of the Securities from time to time
may be sold under certain circumstances, as described herein, no assurance can
be given that the Trust will  retain for any length of time its  present  size
and composition.  The Trustee has not participated and will not participate in
the  selection of  Securities  for the Trust,  and neither the Sponsor nor the
Trustee  will be liable in any way for any  default,  failure or defect in any
Securities.

  Some of the Securities are publicly  traded either on a stock exchange or in
the  over-the-counter  market. The contracts to purchase Securities  deposited
initially in the Trust are expected to settle in three  business  days, in the
ordinary  manner  for  such  Securities.   Settlement  of  the  contracts  for
Securities is thus expected to take place prior to the  settlement of purchase
of Units on the initial Date of Deposit.


Substitution of Securities

  Neither  the  Sponsor  nor the  Trustee  shall be  liable in any way for any
default, failure or defect in any of the Securities. In the event of a failure
to deliver any Security that has been purchased for the Trust under a contract
("Failed Securities"),  the Sponsor is authorized under the Trust Agreement to
direct the Trustee to acquire other  securities  ("Substitute  Securities") to
make up the original corpus of the Trust.

   
  The Substitute Securities must be purchased within 20 days after the sale of
the portfolio Security or delivery of the notice of the failed contract. Where
the  Sponsor  purchases  Substitute  Securities  in  order to  replace  Failed
Securities,  (i) the purchase  price may not exceed the purchase  price of the
Failed  Securities and (ii) the Substitute  Securities  must be  substantially
similar to the Securities originally contracted for and not delivered.

  Whenever a Substitute  Security has been acquired for the Trust, the Trustee
shall,  within five days  thereafter,  notify all Unit holders of the Trust of
the acquisition of the Substitute  Security and the Trustee shall, on the next
Distribution  Date  which  is more  than 30 days  thereafter,  make a pro rata
distribution  of the  amount,  if any,  by which  the cost to the Trust of the
Failed Security exceeded the cost of the Substitute Security.

  The proceeds of the sale of Securities  will be  distributed to Unit holders
as set forth under "Rights of Unit Holders-Distributions." In addition, if the
right of substitution shall not be utilized to acquire  Substitute  Securities
in the event of a failed  contract,  the Sponsor will cause to be refunded the
sales charge attributable to such Failed Securities to all Unit holders of the
Trust, and distribute the principal  attributable to such Failed Securities on
the next Distribution Date.

  Because certain of the Securities from time to time may be substituted  (see
"Trust  Administration--Portfolio  Supervision")  or may be sold under certain
circumstances,  no  assurance  can be given  that the Trust  will  retain  its
present size and  composition  for any length of time.  The proceeds  from the
sale of a Security or the exercise of any redemption or call provision will be
distributed  to Unit holders except to the extent such proceeds are applied to
meet redemptions of Units. (See "Liquidity--Trustee  Redemption.") The Trustee
may act as depository for certain of the ADRs included in the portfolio of the
Trust.
    


                              RISK CONSIDERATIONS

  Fixed Portfolio

  The value of the units will fluctuate depending on all the factors that have
an impact on the  economy  and the equity  markets.  These  factors  similarly
impact on the ability of an issuer to distribute dividends. The Trust is not a
"managed registered investment company" and Securities will not be sold by the
Trustee  as a  result  of  ordinary  market  fluctuations.  Unlike  a  managed
investment  company in which there may be frequent changes in the portfolio of
securities based upon economic, financial and market analyses, securities of a
unit  investment  trust,  such as the Trust,  are not subject to such frequent
changes based upon continuous  analysis.  However,  the Sponsor may direct the
disposition  by the  Trustee  of  Securities  upon the  occurrence  of certain
events. (See "Trust  Administration--Portfolio  Supervision" below.) Potential
investors also should be aware that the Sponsor may change its views as to the
investment  merits of any of the  Securities  during the life of the Trust and
therefore  should  consult  their  own  financial  advisers  with  regard to a
purchase of Units.  In addition,  investors  should be aware that the Sponsor,
and its  affiliates,  currently  act and will  continue  to act as  investment
adviser for managed investment companies and managed private accounts that may
have similar or different  investment  objectives from the Trust.  Some of the
Securities  in the  Trust  may also be owned by  these  other  clients  of the
Sponsor and its  affiliates.  However,  because these  clients have  "managed"
portfolios and may have differing investment objectives,  the Sponsor may sell
certain  Securities from those accounts in instances where a sale by the Trust
would be  impermissible,  such as to maximize  return by taking  advantage  of
market fluctuation. Investors should consult with their own financial advisers
prior to  investing  in the Trust to determine  its  suitability.  (See "Trust
Administration--Portfolio  Supervision.")  All the Securities in the Trust are
liquidated  or  distributed  (to Unit  holders  who elect to  receive  in-kind
distributions)  during a 30 day  period at the  termination  of the three year
life of the Trust.  Since the Trust will not sell  Securities  in  response to
ordinary market  fluctuation,  but only at the Trust's termination and to meet
redemptions,  the amount  realized upon the sale of the  Securities may not be
the highest price  attained by an individual  Security  during the life of the
Trust.

  Additional Securities

  Investors should be aware that in connection with the creation of additional
Units  subsequent  to the  initial  Date of  Deposit,  the Sponsor may deposit
Additional Securities, contracts to purchase Additional Securities or cash (or
letter of credit in lieu of cash) with  instructions  to  purchase  Additional
Securities,   in  each  instance   maintaining   the  original   proportionate
relationship,  subject  to  adjustment  under  certain  circumstances,  of the
numbers of shares of each Security in the Trust.  To the extent the price of a
Security  increases  or  decreases  between  the time cash is  deposited  with
instructions  to  purchase  the  Security  and the  time  the  cash is used to
purchase the Security,  Units may represent  less or more of that Security and
more or less of the other Securities in the Trust. In addition, brokerage fees
(if  any)  incurred  in  purchasing   Securities   with  cash  deposited  with
instructions to purchase the Securities will be an expense of the Trust. Price
fluctuations  between  the time of  deposit  and the time the  Securities  are
purchased, and payment

                                                        B-4
300615.6

<PAGE>



of brokerage  fees, will affect the value of every Unit holder's Units and the
Income per Unit  received  by the  Trust.  In  particular,  Unit  holders  who
purchase Units during the initial  offering period would experience a dilution
of their investment as a result of any brokerage fees paid by the Trust during
subsequent deposits of Additional Securities purchased with cash deposited. In
order to minimize these effects,  the Trust will try to purchase Securities as
near as possible to the  Evaluation  Time or at prices as close as possible to
the prices used to evaluate Trust Units at the Evaluation Time.

  Common Stock

  Since the Trust may  contain  common  stocks of both  foreign  and  domestic
issuers,  an  investment  in  Units  of the  Trust  should  be  made  with  an
understanding  of the  risks  inherent  in any  investment  in  common  stocks
including  the  risk  that  the  financial  condition  of the  issuers  of the
Securities  may become  impaired  or that the general  condition  of the stock
market may worsen (both of which may contribute  directly to a decrease in the
value of the Securities and thus in the value of the Units).  Additional risks
include risks  associated  with the right to receive  payments from the issuer
which is generally  inferior to the rights of creditors of, or holders of debt
obligations or preferred stock issued by, the issuer. Holders of common stocks
have a right to receive  dividends only when, if, and in the amounts  declared
by the issuer's board of directors and to participate in amounts available for
distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the issuer have been
paid or provided for. By contrast,  holders of preferred  stocks  usually have
the right to receive  dividends  at a fixed rate when and as  declared  by the
issuer's  board of  directors,  normally on a cumulative  basis.  Dividends on
cumulative  preferred  stock  must be paid  before any  dividends  are paid on
common  stock  and any  cumulative  preferred  stock  dividend  which has been
omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders of such cumulative
preferred  stocks.  Preferred  stocks are also  usually  entitled to rights on
liquidation  which are senior to those of common  stocks.  For these  reasons,
preferred stocks generally entail less risk than common stocks.

  Moreover,  common  stocks do not  represent an  obligation of the issuer and
therefore  do not offer any  assurance  of income  or  provide  the  degree of
protection  of  debt  securities.  The  issuance  of debt  securities  or even
preferred  stock  by an  issuer  will  create  prior  claims  for  payment  of
principal, interest and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and
inclination  of the issuer to declare or pay  dividends on its common stock or
the economic interest of holders of common stock with respect to assets of the
issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy.  Further,  unlike debt securities which
typically have a stated principal amount payable at maturity (which value will
be subject to market  fluctuations prior thereto),  common stocks have neither
fixed  principal  amount nor a maturity  and have values  which are subject to
market  fluctuations  for as long as the  common  stocks  remain  outstanding.
Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market movements and
to volatile  increases  and  decreases  in value as market  confidence  in and
perceptions  of  the  issuers   change.   These   perceptions   are  based  on
unpredictable factors including expectations  regarding government,  economic,
monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion
or contraction, and global or regional political,  economic or banking crises.
The value of the common  stocks in the Trust thus may be expected to fluctuate
over the life of the Trust to values higher or lower than those  prevailing on
the initial Date of Deposit.

  ADRs

  An investment in Units of the Trust should be made with an  understanding of
the risks inherent in an investment in foreign  equity  securities in the form
of American Depositary  Receipts,  including risks associated with government,
economic,  monetary and fiscal policies,  possible foreign  withholding taxes,
inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or
regional  political,  economic  or  banking  crises.  ADRs  evidence  American
Depositary Receipts which, in turn, represent common stock of non-U.S. issuers
deposited with a custodian in a depository.

                                      B-5

<PAGE>




  The characteristics and rights and privileges of equity securities vary from
country  to  country,  and  governments  may  impose  restrictions  on foreign
ownership  of  certain  classes  of equity  securities  unless a  non-national
purchaser  acquires  a  license  or  unless  the  particular  issuer  receives
permission for ownership by  non-nationals.  The Trust has not obtained any of
these  licenses nor does the Sponsor  anticipate  the need to obtain them.  In
general,  foreign  ownership  restrictions  are more  likely to be  imposed on
voting shares than non-voting shares. Equity securities,  in general, trade on
the market at a multiple of their issuers'  earnings,  which  multiple  varies
from  country to country,  industry to industry and company to company and may
fluctuate over time based on general perceptions of the marketplace whether or
not related to specific actions or performance results of a particular issuer.
This multiple for any particular  issuer may not be uniform for all classes of
the issuer's equity  securities.  Moreover,  because the market for restricted
stocks traded by  non-nationals  generally has less volume than the market for
unrestricted  stocks,  the  market  for these  restricted  stocks  may be more
volatile  and less liquid than the market for shares that may be owned only by
nationals of the particular  country.  Investors  should  carefully review the
objectives  of the Trust  and  consider  their  ability  to  assume  the risks
involved before making an investment in the Trust.

  The Trust may purchase ADRs that are Restricted  Securities and,  therefore,
can be offered and sold only to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in
the  Securities  Act.  See  "Liquidity"  below for the risks  inherent  in the
purchase of Restricted Securities.

  In addition,  for the foreign  issuers that are not subject to the reporting
requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  there  may be  less
publicly available information than is available from a domestic issuer. Also,
foreign issuers are not necessarily  subject to uniform  accounting,  auditing
and financial reporting  standards,  practices and requirements  comparable to
those applicable to domestic issuers.  However,  the Sponsor  anticipates that
adequate  information  will be  available  to allow the  Sponsor to  supervise
and/or monitor the Trust portfolio.

  The ADRs in the  Portfolio  have  been  issued  by  non-U.S.  issuers  whose
earnings  are  stated  in  foreign  currencies.  Further,  ADRs  in the  Trust
portfolio  may  pay  dividends  in  foreign  currencies,  and  the  securities
underlying the ADRs are principally traded in foreign currencies. Most foreign
currencies  have  fluctuated  widely in value against the United States dollar
for many reasons,  including supply and demand of the respective currency, the
soundness of the world economy and the strength of the  respective  economy as
compared to the economies of the United States and other countries. Therefore,
for  those  Securities  of  issuers  whose  earnings  are  stated  in  foreign
currencies,  or which pay dividends in foreign currencies, or which are traded
in foreign  currencies,  there is a likelihood that their United States dollar
value will vary to some degree with  fluctuations  in the United States dollar
foreign  exchange rates for the relevant  currencies.  Moreover,  ADR currency
fluctuations  will affect the U.S.  dollar  equivalent  of the local  currency
price of the underlying  domestic share and, as a result, are likely to affect
the  value of the ADRs  and  consequently  the  value  of the  Securities.  In
addition, the rights of holders of ADRs may be different than those of holders
of the underlying shares, and the market for ADRs may be less liquid than that
for the underlying shares.

   
  The following  table sets forth  end-of-month  United States dollar exchange
rates for the past three years for the currency of the  securities  underlying
the ADR  included  in the  portfolio.  Fluctuations  of the  rates  that  have
occurred in the past are not necessarily  indicative of fluctuations  that may
occur  over  the term of the  Trust.  This  table  shows  the unit of  foreign
currency received for a U.S. dollar

ADRs  may  be  sponsored  or  unsponsored.  In an  unsponsored  facility,  the
depositary initiates and arranges the facility at the request of market makers
and acts as agent for the ADR holder, while the company itself is not involved
in the transaction.  With respect to unsponsored  ADRs,  material  information
about the underlying  company may not be available.  In a sponsored  facility,
the  issuing  company  initiates  the  facility  and  agrees  to  pay  certain
administrative and  shareholder-related  expenses.  Sponsored facilities use a
single depositary and entail a contractual  relationship among the issuer, the
shareholder  and  the  depositary;   unsponsored  facilities  involve  several
depositaries  with no contractual  relationship to the company.  ADRs designed
for use in United  States  securities  markets  may be  registered  securities
pursuant  to the  Securities  Act of  1933  and/or  subject  to the  reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

REITs

   
  Since the Trust may include shares issued by real estate  investment  trusts
("REITs"), a domestic corporation or business trust which invests primarily in
income  producing  real estate or real estate  related loans or mortgages,  an
investment in the Trust should be made with an  understanding of risks similar
to those  associated with the direct  ownership of real estate (in addition to
securities markets risks). These include declines in the value of real estate,
illiquidity of real property  investments,  risks related to general and local
economic   conditions,   dependency  on  management  skill,  heavy  cash  flow
dependency,  possible lack of availability  of mortgage  funds,  overbuilding,
extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, increases in property
taxes and  operating  expenses,  changes in zoning  laws.  losses due to costs
resulting  from the  clean-up of  environmental  problems,  liability to third
parties  for  damages  resulting  from  environmental  problems,  casualty  or
condemnation  losses,  economic or regulatory  impediments  to raising  rents,
changes in  neighborhood  values and the appeal of  properties  to tenants and
changes in interest  rates.  In addition to these  risks,  Equity REITs may be
more likely to be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property
    

                                      B-7

owned by the trusts, while Mortgage REITs may be more likely to be affected by
the quality of any credit  extended.  Further,  REITs are  dependent  upon the
management  skills of the issuers and generally may not be diversified.  REITs
are also  subject to heavy cash flow  dependency,  defaults by  borrowers  and
self-liquidation.  In addition,  REITs could  possibly fail to qualify for tax
free  pass-through  of income  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code"),  or to maintain their exemptions from registration under
the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  The above  factors may
also  adversely  affect  a  borrower's  or a  lessee's  ability  to  meet  its
obligations  to the REIT.  In the event of a default by a borrower  or lessee,
the REIT may  experience  delays in  enforcing  its rights as a  mortgagee  or
lessor  and  may  incur  substantial  costs  associated  with  protecting  its
investments.
    

  Liquidity

  The  existence  of a liquid  trading  market  for  Securities  in the  Trust
portfolio,  may  depend  on  whether  dealers  will  make a  market  in  these
Securities.  There can be no  assurance  that a market will be made for any of
the  Securities,  that any market for the Securities  will be maintained or of
the liquidity of the Securities in any markets made. In addition, the Trust is
restricted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 from selling Securities to
the Sponsor. The price at which the Securities may be sold to meet redemptions
and the value of the Units will be adversely  affected if trading  markets for
the Securities are limited or absent.

  There is no  assurance  that any  dividends  will be declared or paid in the
future on the  Securities.  Current  income is a  secondary  objective  to the
Trust's primary  objective of capital growth.  Investors  should be aware that
there is no assurance that the Trust's objectives will be achieved.


                                PUBLIC OFFERING

Offering Price

  The  Public  Offering  Price  per 100  Units  of the  Trust  is equal to the
aggregate  value of the  underlying  Securities  in the Trust  divided  by the
number  of Units  outstanding  times  100 plus a sales  charge  of 3.9% of the
Public  Offering Price per 100 Units (or 4.058% of the net amount  invested in
Securities  per 100  units).  During the first year of the Trust,  sales of at
least  5,000  Units  will be  entitled  to a volume  discount  from the Public
Offering Price as described below.  (See "Summary of Essential  Information.")
In  addition,   the  net  amount   invested  in  Securities   will  involve  a
proportionate share of amounts in the Income Account and Principal Account, if
any.  The  Public  Offering  Price can vary on a daily  basis  from the amount
stated on the cover of this Prospectus in accordance with  fluctuations in the
market value of the  Securities and the price to be paid by each investor will
be computed as of the day the Units are purchased.

  The  aggregate  value of the  Securities  is determined in good faith by the
Trustee on each  "Business  Day" as defined in the  Indenture in the following
manner: if the Securities are listed on a national  securities  exchange or on
the NASDAQ National  Market System,  this evaluation is generally based on the
closing  sale prices on that  exchange as of the  Evaluation  Time (unless the
Trustee deems these prices  inappropriate  as a basis for  valuation).  If the
Securities  are not so  listed  or,  if so  listed  and the  principal  market
therefor is other than on the  exchange,  the  evaluation  generally  shall be
based on the closing purchase price in the over-the-counter market (unless the
Trustee  deems these prices  inappropriate  as a basis for  evaluation)  or if
there is no such closing purchase price, then the Trustee may utilize,  at the
Trust's expense,  an independent  evaluation  service or services to ascertain
the values of the Securities. The

                                      B-8

<PAGE>



independent  evaluation service shall use any of the following  methods,  or a
combination thereof,  which it deems appropriate:  (a) on the basis of current
bid prices  for  comparable  securities,  (b) by  appraising  the value of the
Securities  on the bid side of the  market or by such other  appraisal  deemed
appropriate by the Trustee or (c) by any combination of the above,  each as of
the Evaluation Time.


Volume and Other Discounts

  Units of the  Trust  are  available  at a volume  discount  from the  Public
Offering Price during the life of the Trust.  This volume discount will result
in a reduction of the sales charge applicable to such purchases. The amount of
the  approximate  reduced sales charge (until  December 1, 1996) on the Public
Offering Price applicable to such purchases is as follows:

</TABLE>


  These  discounts  will apply to all purchases of Units by the same purchaser
during  the  initial  public  offering  period.  Units  purchased  by the same
purchasers in separate  transactions during the initial public offering period
will be aggregated  for purposes of  determining if such purchaser is entitled
to a discount  provided  that such  purchaser  must own at least the  required
number of Units at the time such determination is made. Units held in the name
of the  spouse  of the  purchaser  or in the name of a child of the  purchaser
under 21 years of age are deemed for the purposes  hereof to be  registered in
the name of the  purchaser.  The discount is also  applicable  to a trustee or
other  fiduciary  purchasing  securities  for a single  trust estate or single
fiduciary account.

   
  Employees  (and their  immediate  families) of  Glickenhaus & Co. and of any
member firm of the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. ("NASD")
may, pursuant to employee benefit arrangements, purchase Units of the Trust at
a price equal to the then market  value of the  underlying  securities  in the
Trust,  divided by the number of Units outstanding plus a reduced sales charge
of 1.5% per Unit. Such arrangements  result in less selling effort and selling
expenses  than  sales to  employee  groups  of  other  companies.  Resales  or
transfers of Units purchased under the employee benefit  arrangements may only
be made  through  the  Sponsor's  secondary  market,  so  long as it is  being
maintained.
    


Distribution of Units

   
  The  Underwriter  of the  Units  of the  Trust  is  Glickenhaus  & Co.  (see
"Underwriting" in Part A). It is the Underwriter's  intention to qualify Units
of the  Trust  for  sale in  certain  of the  states  and to  effect  a public
distribution  of the Units through its own  organization.  In addition,  Units
will be sold to dealers who are members of the NASD at prices which  represent
a concession equal to $25 per 100 Units from the related Public Offering Price
applicable to sales of fewer than 25,000 Units,  $27.50 per 100 Units from the
related Public  Offering Price  applicable to sales of 25,000 to 49,999 Units,
$30 per 100 Units from the related Public  Offering Price  applicable to sales
of 50,000  to 99,999  Units  and $32 per 100  Units  from the  related  Public
Offering Price  applicable to sales of 100,000 Units or more,  subject in each
case to change from time to time by the Sponsor.  Individual  sales by dealers
that are subject to volume discounts (see "Volume and Other Discounts" above),
and are  therefore  less than the full  charge,  are subject to the  following
dealer  concessions:  65% of the  applicable  sales charge for sales of 100 to
24,999 Units; 70% of the applicable sales charge for sales of 25,000 to 49,999
Units; 77% of the applicable sales charge for sales of 50,000 to 99,999 Units;
and 82% of the applicable sales charge for sales of 100,000 Units or more.
    

  Sales  will be made  only  with  respect  to whole  Units,  and the  Sponsor
reserves the right to reject,  in whole or in part, any order for the purchase
of Units.


                                     B-10
300615.6

<PAGE>



   
  The  Sponsor  may also  from  time to time pay in  addition  to the  amounts
referenced  above,  an  additional  concession,  in the  form of cash or other
compensation,  any dealer who sells, during a specific period,  minimum dollar
amounts of the Units of the Trust. In no event will such additional concession
paid by the  Sponsor to the dealer  exceed the  difference  between  the sales
charge  and the  selling  dealer's  allowance  in respect of Units sold by the
dealer. Such Units then may be distributed to the public by the dealers at the
Public Offering Price then in effect.

  The Underwriter  and  broker-dealers  of the Trust,  banks and/or others are
eligible  to  participate  in a program in which such firms  receive  from the
Sponsor a nominal award for each of their registered  representatives who have
sold a  minimum  number  of units of unit  investment  trusts  created  by the
Sponsor  during a specified  time period.  In addition,  at various  times the
Sponsor may  implement  other  programs  under  which the sales  forces of the
Underwriter,  brokers,  dealers,  banks  and/or  others may be eligible to win
other  nominal  awards for certain sales  efforts,  or under which the Sponsor
will reallow to any such Underwriter,  brokers,  dealers,  banks and/or others
that sponsor sales  contests or  recognition  programs  conforming to criteria
established by the Sponsor,  or participate in sales programs sponsored by the
Sponsor,  an amount not  exceeding the total  applicable  sales charges on the
sales  generated  by such  person at the public  offering  price  during  such
programs.  Also,  the Sponsor in its discretion may from time to time pursuant
to  objective  criteria  established  by the  Sponsor  pay fees to qualify the
Underwriter,  brokers,  dealers,  banks and/or others for certain  services or
activities  which are  primarily  intended  to result in sales of Units of the
Trust. Such payments are made by the Sponsor out of its own assets and not out
of the  assets of the  Trust.  These  programs  will not change the price Unit
holders pay for their units or the amount that the Trust will receive from the
Units sold.


Sponsor's and Underwriter's Profits

  As set  forth  under  "Public  Offering--Offering  Price"  in  Part  B,  the
Underwriter will receive gross commissions equal to the specified  percentages
of the  Public  Offering  Price of the Units of the Trust.  Additionally,  the
Sponsor  may realize a profit on the  deposit of the  Securities  in the Trust
representing the difference  between the cost of the Securities to the Sponsor
and the cost of the  Securities  to the Trust (See  "Portfolio.")  The selling
dealers share in the profits, if any, described in the preceding sentence. See
"Summary of  Essential  Financial  Information"  in Part A. The Sponsor or any
selling  dealer  may  realize  profits  or  sustain  losses  with  respect  to
Securities  deposited in the Trust which were acquired from selling syndicates
of which they were a member.

  The Sponsor may have  participated as an underwriter or manager,  co-manager
or member of underwriting  syndicates from which some of the aggregate  amount
of the Securities were acquired for the Trust in the amounts set forth in "The
Trust" in Part A.

  During the initial  offering period and thereafter to the extent  additional
Units  continue  to be  offered  by  means  of this  Prospectus,  the  selling
syndicate  may  also  realize  profits  or  sustain  losses  as  a  result  of
fluctuations  after the initial Date of Deposit in the aggregate  value of the
Securities and hence in the Public Offering Price received by the Sponsor, the
Underwriter  and  the  selling  dealers  for the  Units.  Cash,  if any,  made
available to the Sponsor  prior to  settlement  date for the purchase of Units
may be used in the Sponsor's  business  subject to the  limitations  of 17 CFR
240.15c3-3 under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and may be of benefit to
the Sponsor.

  Both upon  acquisition  of  Securities  and  termination  of the Trust,  the
Trustee  may  utilize  the  services  of the  Sponsor for the sale of all or a
portion of the  Securities  in the Trust.  The Sponsor will receive  brokerage
commissions  from the Trust in  connection  with such  purchases  and sales in
accordance with applicable law.
    


                                     B-11
300615.6

<PAGE>



   
  In maintaining a market for the Units (see "Sponsor Repurchase") the Sponsor
and the  Underwriter  will realize  profits or sustain losses in the amount of
any  difference  between  the  price at which  they buy Units and the price at
which  they  resell or redeem  such  Units and to the  extent  they earn sales
charges on resales.
    


                            RIGHTS OF UNIT HOLDERS

Certificates

  Ownership  of Units of the Trust is  evidenced  by  registered  Certificates
executed  by the  Trustee  and the  Sponsor.  Certificates  may be  issued  in
denominations  of one hundred or more Units.  Certificates are transferable by
presentation and surrender to the Trustee properly endorsed and/or accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer. Although no such charge is
presently made or  contemplated,  the Trustee may require a Unit holder to pay
$2.00 for each Certificate reissued or transferred and any governmental charge
that may be imposed in  connection  with each such  transfer  or  interchange.
Mutilated,  destroyed,  stolen  or lost  Certificates  will be  replaced  upon
delivery of satisfactory indemnity and payment of expenses incurred.

Distributions

   
  Dividends  received  by the Trust are  credited  by the Trustee to an Income
Account for the Trust.  Other  receipts,  including the proceeds of Securities
disposed of, are credited to a Principal Account for the Trust.
    

  Distributions to each Unit holder from the Income Account are computed as of
the close of business on each Record Date for the following Distribution Date.
Distributions  from the  Principal  Account of the Trust  (other than  amounts
representing failed contracts, as previously discussed) will be computed as of
each  Record  Date,  and will be made to the Unit  holders  of the Trust on or
shortly after the Distribution Date. Proceeds representing  principal received
from the  disposition  of any of the  Securities  between a Record  Date and a
Distribution  Date which are not used for redemptions of Units will be held in
the Principal Account and not distributed  until the next  Distribution  Date.
Persons who purchase Units between a Record Date and a Distribution  Date will
receive their first  distribution on the Distribution Date following the first
Record Date on which they are a Unit Holder of record.

  As of each month the  Trustee  will  deduct  from the Income  Account of the
Trust, and, to the event funds are not sufficient therein,  from the Principal
Account of the Trust,  amounts  necessary to pay the expenses of the Trust (as
determined  on the basis set forth under "Trust  Expenses and  Charges").  The
Trustee also may withdraw from said accounts such amounts, if any, as it deems
necessary  to  establish  a  reserve  for  any   applicable   taxes  or  other
governmental  charges  that  may  be  payable  out of the  Trust.  Amounts  so
withdrawn  shall not be  considered a part of such  Trust's  assets until such
time as the  Trustee  shall  return  all or any  part of such  amounts  to the
appropriate  accounts.  In addition,  the Trustee may withdraw from the Income
and Principal  Accounts such amounts as may be necessary to cover  redemptions
of Units by the Trustee.

  The dividend  distribution per 100 Units cannot be estimated and will change
and may be  reduced as  Securities  are  redeemed,  exchanged  or sold,  or as
expenses  of the  Trust  fluctuate.  No  distribution  need be made  from  the
Principal  Account  until  the  balance  therein  is an amount  sufficient  to
distribute $1.00 per 100 Units.

Records

   
  The Trustee shall furnish Unit holders in connection with each  distribution
a  statement  of the  amount of  dividends,  if any,  and the  amount of other
receipts,  if any,  which are being  distributed,  expressed in each case as a
dollar  amount per 100 Units.  Within a reasonable  time after the end of each
calendar  year the Trustee  will furnish to each person who at any time during
the calendar year was a Unit holder of record,  a statement  showing (a) as to
the Income  Account:  dividends,  interest  and other cash  amounts  received,
amounts paid for purchases of Substitute  Securities and redemptions of Units,
if any,  deductions for  applicable  taxes and fees and expenses of the Trust,
and the balance remaining after such  distributions and deductions,  expressed
both as a total dollar amount and as a dollar amount representing the pro rata
share of each 100 Units  outstanding on the last business day of such calendar
year;  (b) as to the  Principal  Account:  the  dates  of  disposition  of any
Securities and the net proceeds received therefrom, deductions for payments of
applicable  taxes  and  fees  and  expenses  of the  Trust,  amounts  paid for
purchases of Substitute  Securities and  redemptions of Units, if any, and the
balance remaining after such distributions and deductions, expressed both as a
total dollar amount and as a dollar amount  representing the pro rata share of
each 100 Units outstanding on the last business day of such calendar year; (c)
a list  of the  Securities  held,  a list  of  Securities  purchased,  sold or
otherwise  disposed  of  during  the  calendar  year and the  number  of Units
outstanding on the last business day of such calendar year; (d) the Redemption
Price per 100 Units based upon the last  computation  thereof made during such
calendar  year;  and (e) amounts  actually  distributed to Unit holders during
such calendar year from the Income and Principal Accounts,  separately stated,
of the Trust,  expressed  both as total dollar  amounts and as dollar  amounts
representing  the pro rata  share of each 100  Units  outstanding  on the last
business day of such calendar year.
    

  The Trustee  shall keep  available  for  inspection  by Unit  holders at all
reasonable  times during usual business hours,  books of record and account of
its transactions as Trustee,  including  records of the names and addresses of
Unit holders, Certificates issued or held, a current list of Securities in the
portfolio and a copy of the Trust Agreement.

Expenses and Charges

Initial Expenses

   
  All or a portion of the expenses  incurred in creating and  establishing the
Trust,  including  the cost of the initial  preparation  and  execution of the
Trust Agreement,  the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal expenses
and  other  actual  out-of-pocket  expenses,  will be paid  by the  Trust  and
amortized over the life of the Trust. All advertising and selling expenses, as
well as any  organizational  expenses not paid by the Trust,  will be borne by
the Sponsors at no cost to the Trust.
    

Fees

  The Sponsor will not charge the Trust a fee for their services as such. (See
"Sponsor's and Underwriters' Profits.")

  The Sponsor will receive for portfolio  supervisory services to the Trust an
Annual Fee in the amount set forth under "Summary of Essential Information" in
Part A. The  Sponsor's  fee may exceed the actual cost of providing  portfolio
supervisory  services  for the  Trust,  but at no time will the  total  amount
received  for  portfolio  supervisory  services  rendered to all series of the
Glickenhaus Value Portfolios in any calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to
the  Sponsor  of  supplying  such  services  in  such  year.  (See  "Portfolio
Supervision.")

  The Trustee will receive,  for its ordinary recurring services to the Trust,
an annual fee in the amount set forth under "Summary of Essential Information"
in Part A. For a discussion of the services  performed by the Trustee pursuant
to its obligations under the Trust Agreement,  see "Trust  Administration" and
"Rights of Unit  holders".  The Trustee also  receives  benefits to the extent
that it holds funds on deposit in the various  non-interest  bearing  accounts
created under the Indenture.

  The Trustee's fees applicable to a Trust are payable monthly from the Income
Account  of the  Trust to the  extent  funds are  available  and then from the
Principal  Account.  Both fees may be increased  without  approval of the Unit
holders by amounts not exceeding  proportionate  increases in consumer  prices
for services as measured by the United States  Department of Labor's  Consumer
Price  Index  entitled  "All  Services  Less  Rent."  If the  balances  of the
Principal and Income Accounts are  insufficient to provide for amounts payable
by the Trust, or amounts payable to the Trustee which are secured by its prior
lien on the Trust,  the Trustee is  permitted to sell  Securities  to pay such
amounts.
    

Other Charges

  The following  additional  charges are or may be incurred by the Trust:  all
expenses  (including  audit and  counsel  fees) of the  Trustee  incurred  and
advances made in connection  with its  activities  under the Trust  Agreement,
including annual audit expenses of independent public accountants  selected by
the Sponsor (so long as the Sponsor maintains a secondary market,  the Sponsor
will  bear any audit  expense  which  exceeds  50 cents  per 100  Units),  the
expenses  and costs of any action  undertaken  by the  Trustee to protect  the
Trust and the rights and  interests of the Unit  holders;  fees of the Trustee
for  any   extraordinary   services   performed  under  the  Trust  Agreement;
indemnification  of the  Trustee  for any  loss or  liability  accruing  to it
without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising
out of or in connection  with its acceptance or  administration  of the Trust;
indemnification  of the  Sponsor  for any  losses,  liabilities  and  expenses
incurred in acting as  sponsors of the Trust  without  gross  negligence,  bad
faith or willful  misconduct on its part; and all taxes and other governmental
charges imposed upon the Securities or any part of the Trust (no such taxes or
charges  are  being  levied,  made  or,  to  the  knowledge  of  the  Sponsor,
contemplated).  The above expenses, including the Trustee's fees, when paid by
or owing to the Trustee are secured by a first lien on the Trust to which such
expenses  are  charged.  In  addition,  the Trustee is  empowered  to sell the
Securities in order to make funds available to pay all expenses.


                                  TAX STATUS

  The following is a general  discussion of certain of the Federal  income tax
consequences  of the purchase,  ownership and  disposition  of the Units.  The
summary  is  limited  to  investors  who hold the  Units as  "capital  assets"
(generally,  property held for investment)  within the meaning of Section 1221
of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the  "Code").  Unit holders
should consult their tax advisers in determining the Federal, state, local and
any other tax  consequences  of the  purchase,  ownership and  disposition  of
Units.

  In rendering the opinion set forth below, Battle Fowler LLP has examined the
Agreement,   the  final  form  of  Prospectus   dated  the  date  hereof  (the
"Prospectus")  and the documents  referred to therein,  among others,  and has
relied on the validity of said documents and the accuracy and  completeness of
the facts set forth therein.

  In the opinion of Battle Fowler LLP, special counsel for the Sponsor,  under
existing law:


                                     B-14
300615.6

<PAGE>



          1. The  Trust  will be  classified  as a grantor  trust for  Federal
  income tax purposes and not as a  partnership  or  association  taxable as a
  corporation.  Classification  of the Trust as a grantor trust will cause the
  Trust not to be  subject  to  Federal  income  tax,  and will cause the Unit
  holders of the Trust to be treated  for Federal  income tax  purposes as the
  owners of a pro rata portion of the assets of the Trust. All income received
  by the Trust will be treated as income of the Unit holders in the manner set
  forth below.

          2.  The  Trust  is not  subject  to the New  York  Franchise  Tax on
  Business  Corporations or the New York City General  Corporation  Tax. For a
  Unit holder who is a New York resident,  however,  a pro rata portion of all
  or part of the income of the Trust will be treated as the income of the Unit
  holder under the income tax laws of the State and City of New York.  Similar
  treatment may apply in other states.

          3. During the 90-day period subsequent to the initial issuance date,
  the Sponsor  reserves the right to deposit  additional  Securities  that are
  substantially  similar to those  establishing the Trust. This retained right
  falls within the  guidelines  promulgated  by the Internal  Revenue  Service
  ("IRS") and should not affect the taxable status of the Trust.

  A taxable event will  generally  occur with respect to each Unit holder when
the Trust disposes of a Security (whether by sale,  exchange or redemption) or
upon the sale,  exchange or redemption of Units by such Unit holder. The price
a Unit holder pays for his Units,  including sales charges, is allocated among
his pro rata portion of each Security held by the Trust (in  proportion to the
fair market values thereof on the date the Unit holder purchases his Units) in
order to determine  his initial cost for his pro rata portion of each Security
held by the Trust.

  For  Federal  income  tax  purposes,  a Unit  holder's  pro rata  portion of
dividends  paid with  respect  to a  Security  held by a Trust are  taxable as
ordinary  income to the extent of such  corporation's  current and accumulated
"earnings  and profits" as defined by Section 316 of the Code. A Unit holder's
pro rata portion of dividends  paid on such  Security that exceed such current
and  accumulated  earnings and profits  will first reduce a Unit  holder's tax
basis in such Security,  and to the extent that such  dividends  exceed a Unit
holder's tax basis in such Security will generally be treated as capital gain.

  A Unit  holder's  portion  of gain,  if any,  upon  the  sale,  exchange  or
redemption of Units or the  disposition  of Securities  held by the Trust will
generally  be  considered  a capital  gain and will be  long-term  if the Unit
holder has held his Units for more than one year.  Long-term capital gains are
generally  taxed at the same rates  applicable  to ordinary  income,  although
individuals  who realize  long-term  capital gains may be subject to a reduced
tax rate on such gains,  rather than the "regular"  maximum tax rate of 39.6%.
Tax rates may increase  prior to the time when Unit holders may realize  gains
from the sale, exchange or redemption of Units or Securities.

  A Unit  holder's  portion of loss,  if any,  upon the sale or  redemption of
Units or the  disposition  of Securities  held by the Trust will  generally be
considered  a capital  loss and will be  long-term if the Unit holder has held
his Units for more than one year.  Capital losses are deductible to the extent
of capital gains; in addition, up to $3,000 of capital losses of non-corporate
Unit holders may be deducted against ordinary income.

  Under Section 67 of the Code and the accompanying Regulations, a Unit holder
who itemizes his deductions may also deduct his pro rata share of the fees and
expenses of the Trust, but only to the extent that such amounts, together with
the Unit holder's other  miscellaneous  deductions,  exceed 2% of his adjusted
gross  income.  The  deduction  of fees and  expenses  may also be  limited by
Section 68 of the Code,  which reduces the amount of itemized  deductions that
are allowed for individuals with incomes in excess of certain thresholds.

  After the end of each calendar  year,  the Trustee will furnish to each Unit
holder an annual statement  containing  information  relating to the dividends
received by the Trust on the  Securities,  the gross proceeds  received by the
Trust from the disposition of any Security,  and the fees and expenses paid by
the Trust.  The Trustee will also furnish annual  information  returns to each
Unit holder and to the Internal Revenue Service.

  A corporation  that owns Units will generally be entitled to a 70% dividends
received  deduction  with  respect to such Unit  holder's  pro rata portion of
dividends received by the Trust from a domestic  corporation under Section 243
of the Code or from a qualifying foreign  corporation under Section 245 of the
Code (to the extent the dividends are taxable as ordinary income, as discussed
above) in the same manner as if such corporation directly owned the Securities
paying such  dividends.  However,  a corporation  owning Units should be aware
that Sections 246 and 246A of the Code impose  additional  limitations  on the
eligibility  of dividends  for the 70%  dividends  received  deduction.  These
limitations  include a  requirement  that stock  (and  therefore  Units)  must
generally be held at least 46 days (as determined  under Section 246(c) of the
Code).  Moreover,  the allowable  percentage of the deduction  will be reduced
from 70% if a  corporate  Unit  holder  owns  certain  stock  (or  Units)  the
financing of which is directly  attributable to indebtedness  incurred by such
corporation.  Accordingly,  Unit holders  should  consult their tax adviser in
this regard.

  As discussed in the section  "Termination",  each Unit holder may have three
options in receiving their termination distributions, which are (i) to receive
their pro rata share of the  underlying  Securities  in kind,  (ii) to receive
cash upon liquidation of their pro rata share of the underlying Securities, or
(iii) to invest the amount of cash they would receive upon the  liquidation of
their pro rata share of the underlying  Securities in units of a future series
of the Trust (if one is offered).

  There are special tax  consequences  should a Unit holder choose option (i),
the exchange of the Unit holder's  Units for a pro rata portion of each of the
Securities held by the Trust plus cash. Treasury Regulations provide that gain
or loss is  recognized  when there is a conversion  of property  into property
that is materially  different in kind or extent.  In this  instance,  the Unit
holder may be  considered  the owner of an  undivided  interest  in all of the
Trust's  assets.  By accepting the  proportionate  number of Securities of the
Trust, in partial  exchange for his Unit, the Unit holder should be treated as
merely  exchanging his undivided pro rata ownership of Securities  held by the
Trust into sole ownership of a  proportionate  share of  Securities.  As such,
there should be no material  difference  in the Unit holder's  ownership,  and
therefore the transaction  should be tax free to the extent the Securities are
received.  Alternatively,  the  transaction may be treated as an exchange that
would  qualify for  nonrecognition  treatment to the extent the Unit holder is
exchanging  his undivided  interest in all of the Trust's  Securities  for his
proportionate  number  of  shares  of the  underlying  Securities.  In  either
instance,  the transaction  should result in a non-taxable  event for the Unit
holder to the extent  Securities are received.  However,  there is no specific
authority  addressing the income tax  consequences of an in kind  distribution
from a grantor trust, and investors are urged to consult their tax advisers in
this regard.

  Entities that  generally  qualify for an exemption  from Federal income tax,
such as many pension trusts,  are nevertheless  taxed under Section 511 of the
Code on "unrelated business taxable income." Unrelated business taxable income
is income  from a trade or  business  regularly  carried on by the  tax-exempt
entity that is unrelated to the entity's  exempt purpose.  Unrelated  business
taxable income  generally does not include dividend or interest income or gain
from the sale of  investment  property,  unless  such  income is derived  from
property that is debt-financed or is dealer  property.  A tax-exempt  entity's
dividend income from the Trust and gain from the sale of Units in the Trust or
the  Trust's  sale of  Securities  is not  expected  to  constitute  unrelated
business  taxable income to such  tax-exempt  entity unless the acquisition of
the Unit itself is debt-financed  or constitutes  dealer property in the hands
of the tax-exempt entity.

  Before  investing  in the Trust,  the  trustee or  investment  manager of an
employee  benefit plan (e.g.,  a pension or profit  sharing  retirement  plan)
should consider among other things (a) whether the investment is prudent under
the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974  ("ERISA"),  taking into
account  the needs of the plan and all of the facts and  circumstances  of the
investment   in  the  Trust;   (b)  whether  the   investment   satisfies  the
diversification  requirement of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA; and (c) whether
the  assets  of the  Trust  are  deemed  "plan  assets"  under  ERISA  and the
Department of Labor regulations regarding the definition of "plan assets."

  Prospective tax-exempt investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers
prior to investing in the Trust.

Retirement Plans

  This Trust may be well suited for purchase by Individual Retirement Accounts
("IRAs"),  Keogh plans,  pension funds and other qualified  retirement  plans,
certain of which are briefly  described  below.  Generally,  capital gains and
income  received  in each of the  foregoing  plans  are  exempt  from  Federal
taxation.  All distributions from such plans are generally treated as ordinary
income but may, in some cases,  be eligible for special 5 or 10 year averaging
or  tax-deferred  rollover  treatment.  Unit holders in IRAs,  Keogh plans and
other tax-deferred  retirement plans should consult their plan custodian as to
the   appropriate   disposition  of   distributions.   Investors   considering
participation  in any of these plans should  review  specific tax laws related
thereto and should consult their attorneys or tax advisers with respect to the
establishment  and maintenance of any of these plans.  These plans are offered
by brokerage  firms,  including the Sponsor of the Trust,  and other financial
institutions. Fees and charges with respect to such plans may vary.

  Retirement Plans for the Self-Employed--Keogh  Plans. Units of the Trust may
be  purchased  by  retirement  plans  established  pursuant  to  Self-Employed
Individuals  Tax  Retirement  Act of 1962  ("Keogh  plans") for  self-employed
individuals,  partnerships or unincorporated companies.  Qualified individuals
may generally make annual tax-deductible contributions up to the lesser of 20%
of annual  compensation or $30,000 to Keogh plans. The assets of the plan must
be held in a qualified trust or other arrangement which meets the requirements
of the Code. Generally, there are penalties for premature distributions from a
plan before  attainment  of age 591/2,  except in the case of a  participant's
death or  disability  and  certain  other  related  circumstances.  Keogh plan
participants  may also  establish  separate IRAs (see below) to which they may
contribute up to an additional $2,000 per year ($2,250 in a spousal account).

  Individual Retirement Account--IRA. Any individual (including one covered by
an employer  retirement  plan) can establish an IRA or make use of a qualified
IRA  arrangement  set up by an employer or union for the  purchase of Units of
the  Trust.  Any  individual  can make a  contribution  in an IRA equal to the
lesser of $2,000 ($2,250 in a spousal account) or 100% of earned income;  such
investment must be made in cash. However,  the deductible amount an individual
may  contribute  will be reduced if the  individual's  adjusted  gross  income
exceeds $25,000 (in the case of a single individual),  $40,000 (in the case of
married  individuals  filing a joint return) or $200 (in the case of a married
individual filing a separate return).  A married  individual filing a separate
return will not be entitled to any  deduction if the  individual is covered by
an   employer-maintained   retirement  plan  without  regard  to  whether  the
individual's  spouse is an active participant in an employer  retirement plan.
Unless  nondeductible  contributions  were made in 1987 or a later  year,  all
distributions from an IRA will be treated as ordinary income but generally are
eligible for tax-deferred rollover treatment.  It should be noted that certain
transactions which are prohibited under Section 408 of the Code will cause all
or a  portion  of the  amount in an IRA to be  deemed  to be  distributed  and
subject to tax at that time. A  participant's  entire  interest in an IRA must
be, or commence to be, distributed to the participant not later than the April
1 following the taxable year during which the  participant  attains age 701/2.
Taxable  distributions made before attainment of age 591/2, except in the case
of the  participant's  death or disability or where the amount  distributed is
part of a series

                                     B-17
300615.6

<PAGE>



of substantially equal periodic (at least annual) payments that are to be made
over the life expectancies of the participant and his or her beneficiary,  are
generally subject to a surtax in an amount equal to 10% of the distribution.

  Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. A pension or profit-sharing plan
for employees of a corporation may purchase Units of the Trust.


                                   LIQUIDITY

Sponsor Repurchase

  The  Sponsor,  although  not  obligated  to do so,  intends  to  maintain  a
secondary  market for the Units and  continuously  to offer to repurchase  the
Units. The Sponsor's  secondary  market  repurchase price will be based on the
aggregate  value of the Securities in the Trust portfolio and will be the same
as the  redemption  price.  The  aggregate  value  of the  Securities  will be
determined by the Trustee on a daily basis and computed on the basis set forth
under "Trustee Redemption." The Sponsor does not guarantee the enforceability,
marketability  or price of any  Securities  in the  Portfolio or of the Units.
Unit holders who wish to dispose of their Units should  inquire of the Sponsor
as to  current  market  prices  prior to making a tender for  redemption.  The
Sponsor may  discontinue  repurchase  of Units if the supply of Units  exceeds
demand, or for other business reasons.  The date of repurchase is deemed to be
the date on which Certificates  representing Units are physically  received in
proper  form,  i.e.,  properly  endorsed,  by  Glickenhaus  & Co., 6 East 43rd
Street,  New York, New York 10017. Units received after 4 P.M., New York Time,
will be deemed to have been repurchased on the next business day. In the event
a market is not maintained for the Units, a Unit holder may be able to dispose
of Units only by tendering them to the Trustee for redemption.

  Units purchased by the Sponsor in the secondary  market may be reoffered for
sale by the Sponsor at a price based on the aggregate  value of the Securities
in the Trust plus a maximum  sales charge of 3.9% (or 4.058% of the net amount
invested) plus a pro rata portion of amounts,  if any, in the Income  Account.
Any Units that are purchased by the Sponsor in the  secondary  market also may
be redeemed by the Sponsor if it determines  such redemption to be in its best
interest.

  The Sponsor may, under certain circumstances,  as a service to Unit holders,
elect to  purchase  any Units  tendered to the  Trustee  for  redemption  (see
"Trustee  Redemption").  Factors  which the Sponsor will  consider in making a
determination  will  include the number of Units of all Trusts which it has in
inventory,  its estimate of the  salability and the time required to sell such
Units  and  general  market  conditions.  For  example,  if in  order  to meet
redemptions  of Units the  Trustee  must  dispose of  Securities,  and if such
disposition  cannot be made by the redemption  date (seven calendar days after
tender),  the Sponsor may elect to purchase such Units. Such purchase shall be
made by payment to the Unit holder not later than the close of business on the
redemption  date of an  amount  equal to the  Redemption  Price on the date of
tender.

Trustee Redemption

  Units may also be tendered to the Trustee for  redemption  at its  corporate
trust  office at 101 Barclay  Street,  New York,  New York 10286,  upon proper
delivery of Certificates  representing  such Units and payment of any relevant
tax. At the present time there are no specific taxes related to the redemption
of Units.  No  redemption  fee will be charged by the Sponsor or the  Trustee.
Units redeemed by the Trustee will be cancelled.

                                     B-18
300615.6

<PAGE>




  Certificates  representing  Units to be redeemed  must be  delivered  to the
Trustee and must be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper  instruments of
transfer with signature guaranteed (or by providing satisfactory indemnity, as
in the case of lost, stolen or mutilated  Certificates).  Thus, redemptions of
Units cannot be effected until Certificates  representing such Units have been
delivered by the person seeking redemption. (See "Certificates.") Unit holders
must sign exactly as their names appear on the faces of their Certificates. In
certain  instances the Trustee may require  additional  documents such as, but
not limited to, trust  instruments,  certificates  of death,  appointments  as
executor or administrator or certificates of corporate authority.

  Within seven  calendar days following a tender for  redemption,  or, if such
seventh day is not a business  day, on the first  business day prior  thereto,
the Unit holder  will be entitled to receive an amount for each Unit  tendered
equal to the Redemption  Price per Unit computed as of the Evaluation Time set
forth  under  "Summary  of  Essential  Information"  in Part A on the  date of
tender.  The "date of  tender"  is  deemed  to be the date on which  Units are
received by the Trustee,  except that with respect to Units received after the
close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time), the
date of tender is the next day on which such Exchange is open for trading, and
such Units will be deemed to have been tendered to the Trustee on such day for
redemption at the Redemption Price computed on that day.

  A Unit holder will receive his redemption  proceeds in cash and amounts paid
on redemption  shall be withdrawn from the Income Account,  or, if the balance
therein is insufficient, from the Principal Account. All other amounts paid on
redemption  shall be  withdrawn  from the  Principal  Account.  The Trustee is
empowered to sell Securities in order to make funds available for redemptions.
Such sales,  if required,  could result in a sale of Securities by the Trustee
at a loss. To the extent  Securities  are sold,  the size and diversity of the
Trust will be  reduced.  The  Securities  to be sold will be  selected  by the
Trustee in order to maintain,  to the extent  practicable,  the  proportionate
relationship  among the number of shares of each Stock.  Provision  is made in
the  Indenture  under which the Sponsor  may,  but need not,  specify  minimum
amounts in which  blocks of  Securities  are to be sold in order to obtain the
best price for the Fund.  While  these  minimum  amounts may vary from time to
time in  accordance  with market  conditions,  the Sponsor  believes  that the
minimum amounts which would be specified would be approximately 100 shares for
readily marketable Securities.

  The Redemption Price per Unit is the pro rata share of the Unit in the Trust
determined by the Trustee on the basis of (i) the cash on hand in the Trust or
moneys in the process of being collected,  (ii) the value of the Securities in
the Trust as determined by the Trustee, less (a) amounts representing taxes or
other governmental  charges payable out of the Trust, (b) the accrued expenses
of the Trust and (c) cash  allocated for the  distribution  to Unit holders of
record as of the business day prior to the evaluation  being made. The Trustee
may  determine  the  value of the  Securities  in the  Trust in the  following
manner: if the Securities are listed on a national  securities exchange or the
NASDAQ  national  market  system,  this  evaluation is generally  based on the
closing sale prices on that exchange or that system  (unless the Trustee deems
these prices  inappropriate  as a basis for valuation).  If the Securities are
not so listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefor is other than
on the  exchange,  the  evaluation  shall  generally  be based on the  closing
purchase price in the over-the-counter  market (unless the Trustee deems these
prices inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) or if there is no such closing
purchase  price,  then the Trustee may  utilize,  at the Trust's  expense,  an
independent  evaluation  service or  services to  ascertain  the values of the
Securities.  The independent evaluation service shall use any of the following
methods,  or a combination  thereof,  which it deems  appropriate:  (a) on the
basis of current bid prices for comparable  securities,  (b) by appraising the
value  of  the  Securities  on  the  bid  side  of  the  market  or (c) by any
combination of the above.

  Units will be  redeemed  by the  Trustee  solely in cash for any Unit holder
tendering  less than 2,500 Units.  With respect to  redemption  requests of at
least 2,500 Units, the Sponsor may determine, in its discretion, to direct the
Trustee to redeem  Units "in kind" even if the Sponsor is then  maintaining  a
secondary market in Units of the Trust.  Unit holders redeeming "in kind" will
receive an amount  and value of  Securities  per Unit equal to the  Redemption
Price per Unit determined as of the Evaluation Time next following the date of
tender. The distribution "in kind" for redemption of Units will be made by the
Trustee  for the  account  of,  and for  disposition  in  accordance  with the
instructions of, the tendering Unit holder.  The tendering Unit holder will be
entitled to receive whole shares of each of the  underlying  Securities,  plus
cash  equal to the Unit  holder's  pro rata  share of the cash  balance of the
Income and Principal Accounts and cash from the Principal Account equal to the
fractional shares to which such tendering Unit holder is entitled. The Trustee
in connection with implementing the redemption "in kind" procedures  described
above, may make any adjustments  necessary to reflect  differences between the
Redemption  Price of Units and the  value of the  Securities  distributed  "in
kind" as of the date of tender.  If the  Principal  Account  does not  contain
amounts  sufficient to cover the required cash  distribution  to the tendering
Unit  holder,  the  Trustee  is  empowered  to sell  Securities  in the manner
discussed  below.  A  Unit  holder  receiving   redemption   distributions  of
Securities "in kind"  generally will incur brokerage costs and odd-lot charges
in  converting  Securities  so received  into cash.  The  Trustee  will assess
transfer charges to Unit holders taking  Securities "in kind" according to its
usual practice.

  Any  amounts  paid  on  redemption  representing  income  received  will  be
withdrawn  from the  Income  Account  to the extent  funds are  available.  In
addition,  in implementing  the redemption  procedures  described  above,  the
Trustee shall make any adjustments  necessary to reflect  differences  between
the Redemption Price of the Units and the value of the "in kind"  distribution
as of the date of tender.  To the extent that  Securities  are  distributed in
kind, the size of the Trust will be reduced.

  The Trustee  reserves  the right to suspend the right of  redemption  and to
postpone the date of payment of the  Redemption  Price per Unit for any period
during  which the New York  Stock  Exchange  is closed,  other than  customary
weekend and holiday  closings,  or trading on that  Exchange is  restricted or
during which (as  determined by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission)  an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal or evaluation of the Securities
is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the Securities and
Exchange  Commission may by order permit.  The Trustee and the Sponsor are not
liable to any  person or in any way for any loss or  damage  which may  result
from any such suspension or postponement.

  A Unit holder who wishes to dispose of his Units should  inquire of his bank
or broker in order to determine if there is a current  secondary  market price
in excess of the Redemption Price.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that
such a market will exist.


                             TRUST ADMINISTRATION

Portfolio Supervision

  The Trust is a unit investment trust and is not a managed fund.  Traditional
methods of investment management for a managed fund typically involve frequent
changes in a portfolio of securities  on the basis of economic,  financial and
market analyses.  The Portfolio of the Trust, however, will not be managed and
therefore the adverse  financial  condition of an issuer will not  necessarily
require the sale of its Securities  from the Portfolio.  However,  the Sponsor
may  direct the  disposition  of  Securities  upon the  occurrence  of certain
events, including:

                                     B-20
300615.6

<PAGE>




  1.           default in payment of amounts due on any of the Securities;

  2.           institution of certain legal proceedings;

  3.           default  under  certain  documents   materially  and  adversely
               affecting  future  declaration  or payment  of  amounts  due or
               expected; or

  4.           decline in price as a direct result of serious  adverse  credit
               factors  affecting  the  issuer  of a  Security  which,  in the
               opinion  of  the  Sponsor,  would  make  the  retention  of the
               Security detrimental to the Trust or the Unit holders.

Upon receipt of such direction from the Sponsor,  the Trustee shall proceed to
sell the specified  Security in accordance with such direction.  Such proceeds
shall be  distributed  to Unit holders in accordance  with the  provisions set
forth under "Rights of Unit Holders - Distributions."

  If a default in the payment of amounts due on any Security occurs and if the
Sponsor fails to give  immediate  instructions  to sell or hold that Security,
the Trust Agreement provides that the Trustee,  within 30 days of that failure
by the Sponsor, may sell the Security.

  The Trust Agreement provides that it is the responsibility of the Sponsor to
instruct  the  Trustee  to reject  any  offer  made by an issuer of any of the
Securities  to issue new  securities  in  exchange  and  substitution  for any
Security pursuant to a  recapitalization  or  reorganization,  except that the
Sponsor may  instruct the Trustee to accept such an offer or to take any other
action  with  respect  thereto as the  Sponsor  may deem  proper if the issuer
failed to declare or pay, amounts owed with respect thereto.

  The Trust  Agreement  also  authorizes  the Sponsor to increase the size and
number  of  Units  of the  Trust  by the  deposit  of  Additional  Securities,
contracts to purchase Additional Securities or cash or a letter of credit with
instructions   to  purchase   Additional   Securities   in  exchange  for  the
corresponding  number of  additional  Units within 90 days  subsequent  to the
initial Date of Deposit, provided that the original proportionate relationship
among the number of shares of each Security established on the Initial Date of
Deposit  is  maintained  to the extent  practicable.  Deposits  of  Additional
Securities in the Trust  subsequent to the 90-day period following the initial
Date of Deposit must replicate  exactly the proportionate  relationship  among
the shares of each  Security in the Trust  portfolio at the end of the initial
90-day period.

  With respect to deposits of  Additional  Securities  (or cash or a letter of
credit with  instructions to purchase  Additional  Securities),  in connection
with  creating  additional  Units of the Trust,  the  Sponsor  may specify the
minimum numbers in which Additional Securities will be deposited or purchased.
If a deposit is not  sufficient to acquire  minimum  amounts of each Security,
Additional  Securities  may be  acquired  in the  order of the  Security  most
under-represented immediately before the deposit when compared to the original
proportionate relationship. If Securities of an issue originally deposited are
unavailable at the time of the subsequent deposit, the Sponsor may (1) deposit
cash or a letter of credit with  instructions to purchase the Security when it
becomes available, or (2) deposit (or instruct the Trustee to purchase) either
Securities  of one or more other issues  originally  deposited or a Substitute
Security.

Trust Agreement and Amendment

  The Trust  Agreement  may be amended by the Trustee and the Sponsor  without
the  consent  of any of the  Unit  holders:  (1) to cure any  ambiguity  or to
correct or supplement  any provision  which may be defective or  inconsistent;
(2) to change any provision  thereof as may be required by the  Securities and
Exchange Commission or any successor  governmental agency; or (3) to make such
other  provisions  in  regard  to  matters  arising  thereunder  as shall  not
adversely affect the interests of the Unit holders.

  The Trust  Agreement may also be amended in any respect,  or  performance of
any of the provisions  thereof may be waived,  with the consent of the holders
of  Certificates  evidencing  662/3% of the  Units  then  outstanding  for the
purpose  of  modifying  the  rights  of Unit  holders;  provided  that no such
amendment  or waiver  shall  reduce any Unit  holder's  interest  in the Trust
without his consent or reduce the  percentage of Units  required to consent to
any such  amendment  or waiver  without  the  consent  of the  holders  of all
Certificates.  The Trust Agreement may not be amended,  without the consent of
the holders of all Certificates in the Trust then outstanding, to increase the
number of Units  issuable or to permit the  acquisition  of any  Securities in
addition to or in substitution  for those  initially  deposited in such Trust,
except in accordance with the provisions of the Trust  Agreement.  The Trustee
shall promptly notify Unit holders,  in writing,  of the substance of any such
amendment.

Trust Termination

  The  Trust  Agreement  provides  that the  Trust  shall  terminate  upon the
maturity,  redemption or other disposition, as the case may be, of the last of
the Securities held in such Trust but in no event is it to continue beyond the
Mandatory  Termination  Date. If the value of the Trust shall be less than the
minimum amount set forth under "Summary of Essential  Information"  in Part A,
the  Trustee  may,  in its  discretion,  and shall,  when so  directed  by the
Sponsor,  terminate  the Trust.  The Trust may also be  terminated at any time
with the  consent of the  holders of 100% of the Units then  outstanding.  The
Trustee  may  utilize  the  services  of the  Sponsor for the sale of all or a
portion of the  Securities  in the Trust.  The Sponsor will receive  brokerage
commissions  from the Trust in connection  with such sales in accordance  with
applicable  law. In the event of  termination,  written notice thereof will be
sent by the Trustee to all Unit holders. Such notice will provide Unit holders
with three  options by which to receive  their pro rata share of the net asset
value of the Trust.

   
               1. A Unit  holder  who owns at  least  2,500  Units  and who so
  elects by notifying the Trustee prior to the commencement of the Liquidation
  Period by returning a properly completed election request (to be supplied to
  Unit holders at least 20 days prior to such date) (see "Summary of Essential
  Information"  in Part A for the date of the  commencement of the Liquidation
  Period) and whose interest in the Trust entitles him to receive at least one
  share  of  each  underlying   Security  will  have  his  Units  redeemed  on
  commencement of the Liquidation  Period by distribution of the Unit holder's
  pro rata share of the net asset value of the Trust on such date  distributed
  in kind to the extent  represented by whole shares of underlying  Securities
  and the  balance in cash  within  three  business  days next  following  the
  commencement of the Liquidation  Period. Unit holders  subsequently  selling
  such  distributed  Securities  will incur  brokerage costs when disposing of
  such Securities.
    

  A Unit holder may also elect prior to the Mandatory  Termination  Date by so
specifying in a properly completed election request, the following two options
with regard to the termination  distribution of such Unit holder's interest in
the Trust as set forth below:


                                                        B-22
300615.6

<PAGE>



   
               2. to receive in cash such Unit  holder's pro rata share of the
  net asset  value of the Trust  derived  from the sale by the  Sponsor as the
  agent of the  Trustee  of the  underlying  Securities  over a period  not to
  exceed 30 days  immediately  following the  commencement  of the Liquidation
  Period.  The Unit holder's  Redemption Price per Unit on the settlement date
  of the last trade of a Security  in the Trust  will be  distributed  to such
  Unit holder within three business days of the settlement of the trade of the
  last Security to be sold; and/or

               3. upon the  receipt by the Trust of an  appropriate  exemptive
  order from the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  to invest  such Unit
  holder's pro rata share of the net asset value of the Trust derived from the
  sale by the  Sponsor as agent of the  Trustee of the  underlying  Securities
  over a period not to exceed 30 days  immediately  following the commencement
  of the Liquidation  Period,  in units of any available series of Glickenhaus
  Value Portfolios,  The Equity Collection (the "New Series").  The Units of a
  New Series will be purchased by the Unit holder  within three  business days
  of the  settlement  of the  trade  for the last  Security  to be sold.  Such
  purchaser may be entitled to a reduced sales load upon the purchase of units
  of the New Series.  It is expected  that the terms of the New Series will be
  substantially  the  same  as  the  terms  of the  Trust  described  in  this
  Prospectus, and that similar options with respect to the termination of such
  New Series  will be  available.  The  availability  of this  option  will be
  dependent  on the Units of the New Series  being  qualified  for sale in the
  state in which the Unit holder resides. The availability of this option does
  not constitute a solicitation  of an offer to purchase Units of a New Series
  or any other  security.  A Unit  holder's  election to  participate  in this
  option will be treated as an indication of interest  only. At any time prior
  to the purchase by the Unit holder of units of a New Series such Unit holder
  may change his investment strategy and receive, in cash, the proceeds of the
  sale of the  Securities.  There can be no assurance  that the Securities and
  Exchange Commission will grant such exemptive order.

  The Sponsor has agreed to effect the sales of underlying  securities for the
Trustee  in the case of the  second  and third  options  over a period  not to
exceed 30 days  immediately  following  the  commencement  of the  Liquidation
Period. The Sponsor, on behalf of the Trustee,  will sell, unless prevented by
unusual  and  unforeseen  circumstances,  such  as,  among  other  reasons,  a
suspension in trading of a Security,  the close of a stock exchange,  outbreak
of hostilities and collapse of the economy, on each business day during the 30
day period at least a number of shares of each Security  which then remains in
the portfolio  (based on the number of shares of each issue in the  portfolio)
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is one and the  denominator of
which  is the  number  of  days  remaining  in the 30 day  sales  period.  The
Redemption  Price Per Unit upon the  settlement of the last sale of Securities
during the 30 day period will be  distributed to Unit holders in redemption of
such Unit holders' interest in the Trust.

  Depending  on the  amount of  proceeds  to be  invested  in Units of the New
Series and the amount of other orders for Units in the New Series, the Sponsor
may purchase a large amount of securities for the New Series in a short period
of time.  The  Sponsor's  buying of  securities  may tend to raise the  market
prices  of  these  securities.  The  actual  market  impact  of the  Sponsor's
purchases,  however, is currently  unpredictable  because the actual amount of
securities  to be purchased  and the supply and price of those  securities  is
unknown. A similar problem may occur in connection with the sale of Securities
during  the  30 day  period  immediately  following  the  commencement  of the
Liquidation Period;  depending on the number of sales required,  the prices of
and demand for  Securities,  such sales may tend to depress the market  prices
and thus reduce the proceeds of such sales. The Sponsor believes that the sale
of  underlying  Securities  over a 30 day period as described  above is in the
best  interest of a Unit holder and may  mitigate  the  negative  market price
consequences  stemming  from the trading of large amounts of  Securities.  The
Securities  may be sold in fewer than 30 days if, in the  Sponsor's  judgment,
such  sales  are in the  best  interest  of  Unit  holders.  The  Sponsor,  in
implementing  such sales of securities on behalf of the Trustee,  will seek to
maximize  the sales  proceeds  and will act in the best  interests of the Unit
holders.  There  can  be  no  assurance,   however,  that  any  adverse  price
consequences of heavy trading will be mitigated.

300615.6

  Unit holders who do not make any election  will be deemed to have elected to
receive the Redemption Price per Unit in cash (option number 2).

  It should also be noted that Unit holders will realize taxable capital gains
or losses on the  liquidation of the Securities  representing  their Units for
cash or a New Series,  but,  due to the  procedures  for  investing in the New
Series, no cash would be distributed at that time to pay any taxes.

  The  Sponsor  may for any  reason,  in its sole  discretion,  decide  not to
sponsor  any  subsequent  series of the Trust,  without  penalty or  incurring
liability  to any Unit  holder.  If the Sponsor so decides,  the Sponsor  will
notify the  Trustee of that  decision,  and the  Trustee  will notify the Unit
holders before the  Termination  Date. All Unit holders will then elect either
option 1 or option 2.

  By electing to reinvest  in the New Series,  the Unit holder  indicates  his
interest in having his terminating  distribution  from the Trust invested only
in the New Series  created  following  termination  of the Trust;  the Sponsor
expects,  however,  that a similar  reinvestment  program will be offered with
respect to all  subsequent  series of the Trust,  thus giving Unit  holders an
opportunity to elect to "rollover" their terminating  distributions into a New
Series.  The availability of the reinvestment  privilege does not constitute a
solicitation  of  offers  to  purchase  units  of a New  Series  or any  other
security.  A Unit holder's election to participate in the reinvestment program
will be treated as an  indication  of interest  only.  The Sponsor  intends to
coordinate  the date of  deposit  of a future  series so that the  terminating
trust will terminate contemporaneously with the creating of a New Series.

  The  Sponsor  reserves  the  right  to  modify,  suspend  or  terminate  the
reinvestment privilege at any time.

  If at any time the Sponsor shall resign or fail to perform any of its duties
under the Trust Agreement or becomes  incapable of acting or becomes  bankrupt

Limitations on Liability

  The  Trustee  shall not be liable or  responsible  in any way for taking any
action,  or for refraining  from taking any action,  in good faith pursuant to
the Trust Agreement,  or for errors in judgment; or for any disposition of any
moneys,  Securities or Certificates  in accordance  with the Trust  Agreement,
except in cases of its own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties; provided,  however, that the

made by any independent  evaluation  service employed by it. In addition,  the
Trustee  shall  not be  liable  for any  taxes or other  governmental  charges
imposed  upon or in respect  of the  Securities  or the Trust  which it may be
required to pay under  current or future law of the United States or any other
taxing  authority  having  jurisdiction.  The Trustee  shall not be liable for
depreciation  or loss  incurred by reason of the sale by the Trustee of any of
the Securities pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

"Rights of Unit Holders."

Resignation

  The Trustee may resign by executing an  instrument in writing and filing the

are taken over by public authorities,  or if the Sponsor deems it to be in the
best  interest  of the Unit  holders,  the  Sponsor may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor as provided in the Trust Agreement. Notice of such removal
and  appointment  shall be mailed to each Unit holder by the Sponsor.  If upon
resignation  of the Trustee no successor  has been  appointed and has accepted
the appointment  within thirty days after  notification,  the retiring Trustee
may  apply to a court  of  competent  jurisdiction  for the  appointment  of a
successor.  The resignation or removal of the Trustee  becomes  effective only
when the successor  Trustee accepts its appointment as such or when a court of
competent  jurisdiction  appoints a successor  Trustee.  Upon  execution  of a
written  acceptance of such  appointment  by such successor  Trustee,  all the
rights,  powers,  duties and obligations of the original Trustee shall vest in
the successor.

  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which  the  Trustee  shall be a party,  shall be the  successor  Trustee.  The
Trustee must always be a banking  corporation  organized under the laws of the
United States or any State and have at all times an aggregate capital, surplus
and undivided profits of not less than $5,000,000.

Evaluation of the Trust

  The value of the  Securities  in the Trust  portfolio is  determined in good
faith by the  Trustee on the basis set forth under  "Public  Offering-Offering
Price." The Sponsor and the Unit holders may rely on any evaluation  furnished
by the  Trustee and shall have no  responsibility  for the  accuracy  thereof.
Determinations  by the Trustee under the Trust Agreement shall be made in good
faith  upon the  basis  of the best  information  available  to it,  provided,
however,  that the Trustee  shall be under no liability to the Sponsor or Unit
holders  for  errors  in  judgment,   except  in  cases  of  its  own  willful
misfeasance,  bad  faith,  gross  negligence  or  reckless  disregard  of  its
obligations and duties. The Trustee, the Sponsor and the Unit holders may rely
on any  evaluation  furnished  to the  Trustee  by an  independent  evaluation
service and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
