EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND

EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
(EACH A "FUND," TOGETHER THE "FUNDS")
 
INSTITUTIONAL SHARES
 
     This prospectus contains important information about the Institutional
Shares of Evergreen Select Money Market Fund, Evergreen Select Municipal Money
Market Fund, Evergreen Select Treasury Money Market Fund, Evergreen Select
100% Treasury Money Market Fund and Evergreen Select U.S. Government Money
Market Fund, including how the Funds invest and services available to
shareholders. Please read this prospectus before investing, and keep it for
future reference.
 
     When you consider investing in a Fund, remember that the higher the risk
of losing money, the higher the potential reward. The reverse is also
generally true: the lower the risk, the lower the potential reward.
 
     By itself, no Fund is a complete investment plan. When considering an
investment in a Fund, remember to consider your overall investment objectives
and any other investments you own. You should also carefully evaluate your
ability to handle the risks posed by your investment in the Funds. You can
find information on the risks associated with investing in the Funds in the
section entitled "Fund Descriptions."
 
     To learn more about the Funds, call 1-800-343-2898 for a free copy of the
Funds' Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") dated June 1, 1998, as
amended November 30, 1998, and as supplemented from time to time. The Funds
have filed the SAI with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SAI is
incorporated by reference herein (i.e., legally, the SAI is part of this
prospectus).
     
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SHARES OF THE FUNDS ARE:
 
 . NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY BANK.
 . NOT ENDORSED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK.
 . NOT INSURED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
  CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
 . SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL
  AMOUNT.
 
     AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN
A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON
THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

a percentage of each Fund's average net assets. The examples on the right show
what you would pay if you invested $1000 over the periods indicated. The
examples assume a 5% average annual return, reinvestment of all dividends and
redemption at the end of each period.

(1) The Funds' investment advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
    Funds to the extent that the Funds' aggregate annual operating expenses
    (including the investment advisor's fee, but excluding taxes, interest,
    brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) exceed .20% of the
    average net assets for any fiscal year. From time to time, the investment
    advisor may, at its discretion, waive additional fees or reimburse
    expenses in order to reduce the Funds' expense ratios. Without such
    waivers and reimbursements, the Funds' total annual operating expenses
    would have been .23%, .26%, .23%, and .26% for EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET
    FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT
    TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND, and EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY
    MARKET FUND, respectively. The investment advisor may cease any voluntary
    waiver or reimbursement at any time.
 
(2) The Fund's investment advisor has voluntarily agreed to limit the
    investment advisory fee for EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET
    FUND to .15%. Without such waiver, the Management Fee would be .25%. The
    investment advisor currently intends to continue this expense waiver;
    however, it may modify or cancel its expense waiver at any time. See 
    "Fund Details" for more information. In addition, the investment advisor
    has voluntarily limited the Expenses of the Fund to .20%. Without this 
    limitation, Expenses would be .40% higher. Absent expense waivers and/or 
    reimbursements, the Total Operating Expenses of the Fund would be .60%. 
    The investment advisor may cease any voluntary waiver or reimbursement at 
    any time.
     
     The above table shows the costs and expenses you would pay directly or
indirectly if you invested in Institutional Shares of a Fund. THE EXAMPLES DO
NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS
THAN THOSE SHOWN.

                               FUND DESCRIPTIONS
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
EACH FUND'S OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS
 
     Each Fund's investment objective is nonfundamental, which means the
objective can be changed without a shareholder vote. There can be no assurance
that a Fund's investment objective will be achieved.
 
     Each Fund has also adopted fundamental investment policies designed to
limit a Fund's exposure to risk. Fundamental policies can be changed only with
a shareholder vote. For more information about investment policies, see
"Securities and Investment Practices" below and the SAI.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of current
income as is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. The
Fund will invest principally in short-term corporate debt securities.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with preserving
capital and providing liquidity. The Fund will invest principally in municipal
obligations. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's annual
interest income will be exempt from federal income tax other than the federal
alternative minimum tax.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND seeks to maintain stability
of principal while earning current income. The Fund will invest in short-term
U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by such
obligations.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND seeks to maintain
stability of principal while earning current income. The Fund will invest only
in U.S. Treasury securities.
   
     EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level
of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the
maintenance of liquidity. The Fund will invest exclusively in securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.
    
     In addition, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00 per share. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL MAINTAIN A STABLE NET
ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
 
     Each Fund will invest in short-term securities that are determined to
present minimal credit risk and are, at the time of acquisition, eligible
securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("Rule 2a-7"). Short-term securities are those having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. Each Fund will also comply with the
diversification requirements and other applicable requirements prescribed by
Rule 2a-7.
 
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
 
     You can find more information about the types of securities in which each
Fund may invest, the types of investment techniques each Fund may employ in
pursuit of its objective and a summary of related risks set forth below. The
Funds' SAI contains additional information about these investments and
investment techniques.
   
U.S. Government Securities. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities may be supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government, by the right of the issuer to borrow
from the Treasury, or only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality
itself. EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT 100%
TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND will invest only in U.S. Treasury securities, which
are high quality debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, guaranteed as to
principal and interest, and supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government. EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL
MONEY MARKET FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND may
invest in any security issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
agencies or instrumentalities.
    
     While U.S. government securities are guaranteed as to principal and
interest, their market value is not guaranteed. Generally, U.S. government
securities are subject to the same interest rate and credit risks as other
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
fixed-income securities. However, since U.S. government securities are of the
highest credit quality, the credit risk is minimal. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOES
NOT GUARANTEE THE NET ASSET VALUE OF THE FUNDS' SHARES.
 
     Included among the U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities in
whose securities EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND may invest are the
Interamerican Development Bank and the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development. Obligations of these banks are supported only by the
appropriated but unpaid commitments of its member countries. There are no
assurances that the commitments will be undertaken in the future.
 
Municipal Obligations. EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND may invest
in municipal bonds, notes and commercial paper issued by or for any state,
territory or possession of the U.S. (including the District of Columbia) and
their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. Municipal
obligations are issued by or for state or local governments to support general
financial needs or to pay for public projects or facilities.
 
     Municipal bonds are mainly divided between "general obligation" and
"revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and
credit of governmental issuers with the power to tax. They are repaid from the
issuer's general revenues. Payment, however, may be dependent upon legislative
approval and may be subject to limitations on the issuer's taxing power.
Revenue bonds are supported only by the revenues generated by the project or
facility.
 
     Municipal notes and commercial paper are short-term debt instruments
issued in anticipation of taxes and other revenues.
 
Taxable Investments. EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND may
temporarily invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable securities under any
one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending investment of proceeds
of sale of Fund shares or of portfolio securities, (b) pending settlement of
purchases of portfolio securities, and (c) to maintain liquidity for the
purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. The Fund may temporarily invest
more than 20% of its total assets in taxable securities for defensive
purposes. The Fund may invest for defensive purposes during periods when its
assets available for investment exceed the available municipal securities that
meet the Fund's quality and other investment criteria. Taxable securities in
which the Fund may invest on a short-term basis include obligations of the
U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including repurchase
agreements with banks or securities dealers involving such securities; time
deposits maturing in not more than seven days; other debt securities rated
within the two highest ratings categories by any nationally recognized
statistical rating organization; commercial paper rated in the highest grade
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services; and
certificates of deposit issued by U.S. branches of U.S. banks with assets of
$1 billion or more.
 
Other Eligible Securities. EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND may also invest
in corporate debt securities, commercial paper and bank obligations.
 
Borrowing. Each Fund may borrow from banks in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its
total assets, taken at market value. Each Fund may also borrow an additional
5% of its total assets from banks or others. A Fund may only borrow as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes such as the
redemption of Fund shares. A Fund will not purchase securities while
borrowings are outstanding except to exercise prior commitments and to
exercise subscription rights.
 
Securities Lending. To generate income and offset expenses, each Fund may lend
securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions. Loans of
securities by a Fund may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total
assets. While securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any
income accruing on the security. Also, the Fund may invest any collateral it
receives in additional securities.
 
     Gains or losses in the market value of a lent security will affect a Fund
and its shareholders. When a Fund lends its securities, it may not be able to
retrieve the securities on a timely basis, possibly losing the opportunity to
sell the securities at a desirable price. Also, if the borrower files for
bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's ability to dispose of the
securities may be delayed.
 
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies. Each Fund may invest in
securities of other investment companies. As a shareholder of another
investment company, a Fund would pay its portion of the other
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
investment company's expenses. These expenses would be in addition to the
expenses that the Fund currently pays for its own operations and may result in
some duplication of fees.
 
When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions. Each Fund
may enter into transactions whereby it commits to buying a security, but does
not pay for or take delivery of the security until some specified date in the
future. The value of these securities is subject to market fluctuation during
this period and no income accrues to a Fund until settlement. At the time of
settlement, a when-issued security may be valued at less than its purchase
price. When entering into these transactions, a Fund relies on the other party
to consummate the transaction; if the other party fails to do so, the Fund may
be disadvantaged. Each Fund does not intend to purchase when-issued securities
for speculative purposes, but only in furtherance of its investment objective.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements. A
repurchase agreement is an agreement by which a Fund purchases a security
(usually U.S. government securities) for cash and obtains a simultaneous
commitment from the seller (usually a bank or broker-dealer) to repurchase the
security at an agreed-upon price and specified future date. The repurchase
price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate for the time period of the
agreement. A Fund's risk is the inability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon
price on the delivery date. However, this risk is tempered by the ability of a
Fund to sell the security in the open market in the case of a default. In such
case, a Fund may incur costs in disposing of the security which would increase
Fund expenses. A Fund's Investment advisor will monitor the creditworthiness
of the firms with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is an agreement by a Fund to sell a
security and repurchase it at a specified time and price. A Fund could lose
money if the market values of the securities it sold decline below their
repurchase prices. Reverse repurchase agreements may be considered a form of
borrowing, and, therefore, a form of leverage. Leverage may magnify gains or
losses of the Fund.
 
Other Investment Restrictions. Each Fund has adopted additional investment
restrictions and guidelines that are set forth in the SAI.
 
Risks of Debt Securities. When a Fund buys a debt security, it generally
expects a variable or fixed rate of interest and repayment of the principal at
maturity. The main risks of investing in debt securities are:
 
    .  Interest Rate Risk: The risk that a bond's prices will fall when
       interest rates rise, and vice versa. Debt securities have varying
       levels of sensitivity to interest rates. Longer-term bonds are
       generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates than short term
       bonds.
 
    .  Credit Risk: The chance that the issuer of a bond will have its credit
       rating downgraded or will default (fail to make scheduled interest and
       principal payments), potentially reducing a Fund's income and/or share
       price.

HOW TO BUY SHARES
 
     Institutional investors may buy Institutional Shares of the Funds through
broker-dealers, banks and certain other financial intermediaries, or directly
through the Funds' distributor, Evergreen Distributor, Inc. ("EDI"). Investors
may purchase Institutional Shares at the public offering price, which equals
the class's net asset value per share ("NAV"). See "Offering Price and Other
Purchase Information" below.
 
Minimum Investment. The minimum initial investment in Institutional Shares is
$1 million, which may be waived in certain situations. There is no minimum
amount required for subsequent purchases.
 
Opening an Account. You may open an account by mailing a signed account
application to the particular Fund c/o Evergreen Service Company, P.O. Box
2121, Boston, Massachusetts 02106-2121. You may obtain an account application
by calling 1-800-633-2700.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     Except as provided below, you can purchase shares only by wiring federal
funds to Evergreen Service Company (the "Service Company"). You may obtain
wiring instructions by calling 1-800-633-2700. When you call, the Service
Company representative will ask you for the following information: name of
authorized person; shareholder name; shareholder account number; name of the
Fund and share class; amount being wired; and wiring bank name.
 
Offering Price and Other Purchase Information. When you buy a Fund's shares,
you pay its NAV next determined after the Fund receives and accepts your
order. Each Fund computes its NAV twice daily, at 12 noon (eastern time) and
as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
(currently 4:00 p.m. eastern time). Therefore, depending on when the Fund
accepts your order, you will receive its NAV calculated at 12 noon or 4:00
p.m.
 
     You may, at a Fund's discretion, pay for shares of a Fund with securities
instead of cash. Additionally, if you want to buy a Fund's shares equal in
amount to $5 million or more the Fund may require you to pay for those shares
with securities instead of cash. A Fund will only accept securities that are
consistent with its investment objective, policies and restrictions. Also, a
Fund will value the securities in the manner described under "How the Funds
Calculate Their NAV." Investors who receive a Fund's shares for securities
instead of cash may pay such transaction costs as broker's commissions, taxes
or governmental fees.
 
HOW TO REDEEM SHARES
 
     You may redeem shares of a Fund by mail, telephone or other types of
telecommunication. Once a redemption request has been telephoned, mailed or
otherwise transmitted, it may not be changed or canceled.
 
Mail Redemptions. You may redeem shares on each day that the NYSE is open by
mailing a written request to the Service Company at the following address:
 
     Evergreen Service Company
     P.O. Box 2121
     Boston, Massachusetts 02106-2121
 
     The signatures on the written request must be properly guaranteed, as
described below.
 
How To Redeem By Telephone. You may redeem your shares by calling 1-800-633-
2700 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on each
business day. You may also redeem shares by sending a facsimile to (617) 210-
2708 or by other means of wire communication. You must state the Fund and
class from which you want to redeem, the number or dollar amount of shares you
want to redeem and your account number. The telephone redemption service is
not available to you automatically. You must elect it on your account
application.
 
     If you are unable to reach the Funds or the Service Company by telephone,
you should redeem by mail.
 
     The Service Company will wire your redemption proceeds to the commercial
bank account designated on the account application. If the Service Company
deems it appropriate, it may require additional documentation. Although at
present the Service Company pays the wire costs involved, it reserves the
right at any time to require the shareholder to pay such costs.
 
Redemption Value and Other Redemption Policies. When you sell shares, you
receive the NAV next computed after a Fund receives your request. Since each
Fund computes its NAV twice daily, depending on when the Fund receives your
request, you will receive its NAV calculated at 12 noon or 4:00 p.m. (eastern
time). Generally, the Fund pays redemption proceeds within seven days.
Redemption requests received after 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) will be processed
using the NAV determined on the next business day.
 
     The Funds may, at any time, change, suspend or terminate any of the
redemption methods described in this prospectus, except redemptions by mail.
For more information, see "How the Funds Calculate Their NAV."
 
     The Funds may, at their discretion, pay your redemption proceeds with
securities instead of cash. However, each Fund is obligated to redeem shares
solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Fund's total net assets
during any ninety-day period for any one shareholder. See the SAI for further
details.
 
     Except as otherwise noted, neither the Funds, the Service Company nor the
Funds' distributor assumes responsibility for the authenticity of any
instructions received by any of them from a shareholder by telephone. The
Service Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
received over the telephone
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
or otherwise are genuine. Neither the Funds, the Service Company nor the
Funds' distributor will be liable when following instructions received by
telephone or otherwise that the Service Company reasonably believes to be
genuine.
 
     Shareholders may only change information contained in their account
registration (such as the bank account designated to receive wire redemption
proceeds) by writing to the Service Company. Signatures on such written
instructions must be guaranteed.
 
     The Funds may temporarily suspend the right to redeem shares when:
 
     (1)the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings;
     (2)trading on the NYSE is restricted;
     (3)an emergency exists and the Funds cannot dispose of their investments
or fairly determine their value; or
     (4)the SEC so orders.
 
ADDITIONAL TRANSACTION POLICIES
 
How the Funds Calculate Their NAV. A Fund's NAV equals the value of its shares
without sales charges. A Fund calculates its NAV by adding up the total value
of its investments and other assets, subtracting its liabilities and then
dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding. All expenses,
including fees paid to the Fund's investment advisor, are accrued daily. Each
Fund computes its NAV twice daily, at 12 noon (eastern time) and as of the
close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on each day that
the NYSE is open.
 
     The securities in each Fund's portfolio are valued on an amortized cost
basis according to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
this method of valuation, a security is initially valued at its acquisition
cost, and thereafter a constant straightline amortization of any discount or
premium is assumed each day regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest
rates on the market value of the security. The market value of the obligations
in the Fund's portfolio can be expected to vary inversely to changes in
prevailing interest rates. As a result, the market value of the obligations in
the Fund's portfolio may vary from the value determined using the amortized
cost method.
 
Signature Guarantee. For your protection, signatures on stock powers, and
written orders or authorizations must have a signature guarantee. A signature
guarantee can be provided by a U.S. stock exchange member, a bank, or other
persons eligible to guarantee signatures under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the Service Company's policies. The Service Company may waive this
requirement or may require additional documentation in certain cases.
 
EXCHANGES
 
     You may exchange Institutional Shares of a Fund for Institutional Shares
of any other Evergreen "Select" fund. You may exchange your shares through
your broker-dealer, by mail or by telephone. All exchange orders must comply
with the applicable requirements for purchases and redemptions and must
include your account number, the number or value of shares to be exchanged,
the class of shares, and the funds to and from which you wish to exchange.
Exchanges will be based on the relative NAV of the shares exchanged next
determined after the exchange request is received. Once an exchange request
has been telephoned or mailed, it may not be changed or canceled.
 
     Signatures on exchange orders must be guaranteed, as described above.
 
     The Funds reserve the right to change or revoke the exchange privilege of
any shareholder or to limit or revoke any exchange. Currently, you may not
make more than five exchanges in a calendar year or three exchanges in a
calendar quarter.
 
     Please read the prospectus of the fund that you want to exchange into
before requesting your exchange.
 
     For federal income tax purposes, an exchange is treated as a sale for
taxable investors.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
     As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of earnings on a Fund's
investments. You receive such earnings as either an income dividend or a
capital gains distribution. Income dividends come from the dividends
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
that a Fund earns from its stocks plus any interest it receives from its
bonds. A Fund realizes a capital gain whenever it sells a security for a
higher price than its tax basis.
 
Dividend Schedule. Each Fund declares dividends from its net investment income
daily and pays such dividends monthly. Each Fund pays shareholders its net
capital gains at least once a year.
 
Payment Options. Unless you select another option on your account application,
your dividends and capital gains will be reinvested in additional shares of
the same class of the same Fund. Shareholders will receive dividends on
investments made by federal funds bank wire the same day the wire is received
provided that wire purchases are received by State Street Bank and Trust
Company, custodian for the Funds, by 12 noon (eastern time). Shares purchased
by qualified institutions via telephone will receive the dividend declared on
that day if the telephone order is placed by 12 noon (eastern time), and
federal funds are received by 4:00 p.m. (eastern time). All other wire
purchases received after 12 noon (eastern time) will earn dividends beginning
the following business day. Dividends accruing on the day of redemption will
be paid to redeeming shareholders except for redemptions where proceeds are
wired the same day.
 
     You may elect to receive some or all of your dividends and capital gains
in cash. Should you select this option, a check will be mailed to you or your
agent or trustee no later than seven days after the payment date.
 
TAXES
   
     EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND intend to qualify, and each of the other
Funds has qualified and intends to continue to qualify, as regulated
investment companies ("RICs") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. As long as a Fund qualifies as a RIC and distributes
substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains, it will not
pay federal income taxes on the earnings it distributes to shareholders.
     
     Distributions to shareholders, whether taken in cash or reinvested in
shares, are generally considered taxable for federal income tax purposes as
follows:
 
    .  Income distributions and net short-term capital gains are taxable as
       ordinary income.
 
    .  Long-term capital gains distributions are taxable as capital gains,
       regardless of how long you have held your shares.
 
     After each calendar year, the Service Company will mail you a statement
indicating which of that year's distributions you should treat as ordinary
income and which you should treat as capital gains. Distributions of income or
capital gains may also be subject to state and local taxes. You should always
consult your tax adviser for specific guidance as to the tax consequences of
your investment in a Fund.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND will designate and pay
exempt-interest dividends derived from interest earned on qualifying tax
exempt obligations. Such exempt-interest dividends may be excluded by
shareholders of the Fund from their gross income for federal income tax
purposes. However, (1) all or a portion of such exempt-interest dividends may
be a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual and
corporate alternative minimum taxes to the extent that they are derived from
certain types of private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, and (2)
all exempt-interest dividends will be a component of "adjusted current
earnings" for purposes of the federal corporate alternative minimum tax.
Dividends paid from taxable income, if any, and distributions of any net
realized short-term capital gains (whether from tax exempt or taxable) are
taxable as ordinary income, even though received in additional Fund shares.
Market discount recognized on taxable and tax-free bonds is taxable as
ordinary income, not as excludable income.
 
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
 
     Details on all shareholder services may be obtained from the Service
Company by calling toll free 1-800-633-2700 or by writing to the Service
Company.

Subaccount. Special processing has been arranged with the Service Company for
banks and other institutions that wish to open multiple accounts (a master
account and subaccounts). An investor wishing to use the Service Company's
subaccounting facilities will be required to enter into a separate agreement,
with the charges to be determined on the basis of the level of services to be
rendered. Subaccounts may be opened with the initial investment or at a later
date and may be established by an investor with registration either by name or
by number.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
FUND ORGANIZATION AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
 
Fund Structure. Each Fund is an investment pool, which invests shareholders'
money towards a specified goal. Each Fund is a diversified series of an open-
end, management investment company called Evergreen Select Money Market Trust
(the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware business trust organized on September
18, 1997.
 
Board of Trustees. The Trust is supervised by a Board of Trustees that is
responsible for representing the interests of shareholders. The Trustees meet
periodically throughout the year to oversee each Fund's activities, reviewing,
among other things, its performance and its contractual arrangements with
various service providers.
    
Shareholder Rights. All shareholders participate equally in distributions from
a Fund's assets and have equal voting, liquidation and other rights. Each
share is entitled to one vote for each dollar of NAV applicable to such share.
Shareholders may exchange shares as described under "Exchanges," but will have
no other preference, conversion, exchange or preemptive rights. When issued
and paid for, your shares will be fully paid and nonassessable. Fund shares
are redeemable, transferable and freely assignable as collateral. The Trust
may establish additional classes or series of shares.
     
     The Funds do not hold annual shareholder meetings; a Fund may, however,
hold special meetings for such purposes as electing or removing Trustees,
changing fundamental policies and approving investment advisory agreements or
12b-1 plans. In addition, the Funds are prepared to assist shareholders in
communicating with one another for the purpose of convening a meeting to elect
Trustees.
 
Advisor. The investment advisor to each Fund is First Union National Bank
("FUNB"), a subsidiary of First Union Corporation ("First Union"). First Union
is located at 301 South College Street, and FUNB at 201 South College Street,
Charlotte, North Carolina 28288-0630. First Union and its subsidiaries provide
a broad range of financial services to individuals and businesses throughout
the U.S.
    
     FUNB is entitled to receive from each Fund an advisory fee based on a
percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets. Computed daily and paid
monthly, the fee is 0.15% for EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN
SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET
FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND. The fee is 0.25%
for EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND, but FUNB currently
limits the fee for EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND to 0.15%.
FUNB may, however, modify or cancel this limit at any time.
     
Distributor. Evergreen Distributor, Inc., 125 West 55th Street, New York, New
York 10019, markets the Funds and distributes their shares through broker-
dealers, financial planners and other financial representatives. Evergreen
Distributor, Inc. is a subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc. and is not
affiliated with First Union.
 
Transfer Agent. Evergreen Service Company, 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA
02116-5034, handles shareholder services, including record keeping and account
statements, distribution of dividends and capital gains and processing of
transactions.
    
Administrator. Evergreen Investment Services, Inc. ("EIS"), subject to the
supervision and control of the Trust's Board of Trustees, provides the Funds
with facilities, equipment and personnel. For its services as administrator,
EIS is entitled to receive a fee based on the aggregate daily net assets of
all mutual funds administered by EIS
 
                                      13

for which any affiliate of FUNB serves as investment advisor. The
administration fee is calculated in accordance with the following schedule:

performs other related duties.
 
OTHER INFORMATION AND POLICIES
 
Year 2000 Risks. Like other investment companies, financial and business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the Funds' investment advisor and the
Funds' other service providers do not properly process and calculate date-
related information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is commonly
known as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Funds' investment advisor is taking
steps to address the Year 2000 Problem with respect to the computer systems
that it uses and to obtain assurances that comparable steps are being taken by
the Funds' other major service providers. At this time, however, there can be
no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact
on the Funds.
 
Banking Laws. The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations
presently prohibit a bank holding company or its affiliates (a "Bank") from
sponsoring, organizing, controlling, or distributing the shares of a
registered open-end investment company such as each Fund. However, a Bank may
act as investment advisor, transfer agent or custodian to a registered open-
end investment company. A Bank may also purchase shares of such company and
pay third parties for performing these functions.
 
Securities Transactions. Under policies established by the Trust's Board of
Trustees, FUNB selects broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions
subject to the receipt of best execution. In so doing, FUNB may select broker-
dealers who are affiliated with FUNB. Moreover, a Fund may pay higher
commissions to broker-dealers that provide research services, which FUNB may
use in advising a Fund or its other clients.
 
Code of Ethics. The Funds and FUNB have each adopted a code of ethics
incorporating policies on personal securities trading. In general, these codes
of ethics require that certain personnel of the Funds and FUNB (1) abstain
from engaging in certain personal trading practices and (2) report certain
personal trading activities.
 
Other Classes of Shares. Each Fund offers two classes of shares, Institutional
and Institutional Service. Only Institutional Shares are offered through this
prospectus. Call the Service Company for further information or a prospectus
offering Institutional Service Shares of the Funds.
 
FUND PERFORMANCE
 
     From time to time, a Fund may quote its yield in advertisements or in
reports to shareholders. Yield information may be useful in reviewing the
performance of a Fund and for providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, since net investment income of a Fund
changes in response to fluctuations in interest rates and Fund expenses, any
given yield quotation should not be considered representative of a Fund's
yields for any future period.
 
     The method of calculating each Fund's yield is set forth in the SAI.
Before investing, the investor may want to determine which investment--tax-
free or taxable--will result in a higher after-tax return. To do this, the
yield on the tax-free investment should be divided by the decimal determined
by subtracting from 1 the highest federal tax rate to which the investor
currently is subject. For example, if the tax-free yield is 6% and the
investor's maximum tax bracket is 36%, the computation is:
 
          6% Tax-Free Yield/(1-.36 Tax Rate) = 6/.64 = 9.38% Taxable Yield
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
     In this example, the investor's after-tax return will be higher from the
6% tax-free investment if available taxable yields are below 9.38%.
Conversely, the taxable investment will provide a higher return when taxable
yields exceed 9.38%. This is only an example and is not necessarily reflective
of a Fund's yield. The tax equivalent yield will be lower for investors in the
lower income brackets.
 
     Comparative performance information may also be used from time to time in
advertising or marketing the Funds' shares, including data from Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report, Bank Rate Monitor
and other industry publications.
 
For more information on Fund performance, see the SAI.

     When you consider investing in a Fund, remember that the higher the risk
of losing money, the higher the potential reward. The reverse is also
generally true: the lower the risk, the lower the potential reward.
 
     By itself, no Fund is a complete investment plan. When considering an
investment in a Fund, remember to consider your overall investment objectives
and any other investments you own. You should also carefully evaluate your
ability to handle the risks posed by your investment in the Funds. You can
find information on the risks associated with investing in the Funds in the
section entitled "Fund Descriptions."
 
     To learn more about the Funds, call 1-800-343-2898 for a free copy of the
Funds' Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") dated June 1, 1998, as
amended November 30, 1998, and as supplemented from time to time. The Funds
have filed the SAI with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SAI is
incorporated by reference herein (i.e., legally, the SAI is part of this
prospectus).
    
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SHARES OF THE FUNDS ARE:
 
 . NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY BANK.
 . NOT ENDORSED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK.
 . NOT INSURED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
  CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
 . SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL
  AMOUNT.
 
     AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN
A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON
THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE

Service Shares of each Fund for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 or, in
the case of EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND, the fiscal

(1) The Funds' investment advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
    Funds to the extent that the Funds' aggregate annual operating expenses
    (including the investment advisor's fee, but excluding taxes, interest,
    brokerage commissions, 12b-1 fees, shareholder service fees and
    extraordinary expenses) exceed .20% of the average net assets for any
    fiscal year. From time to time, the investment advisor may, at its
    discretion, waive additional fees or reimburse expenses in order to reduce
    the Funds' expense ratios. Without such waivers and reimbursements, the
    Funds' total annual operating expenses would have been .48%, .51%, .48%,
    and .51% for EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL
    MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND and
    EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND, respectively. The
    investment advisor may cease any voluntary waiver or reimbursement at any
    time.
 
(2) The Fund's investment advisor has voluntarily agreed to limit the investment
    advisory fee for EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND to 0.15%.
    Without such waiver, the Management Fee would be .25%. The investment
    advisor currently intends to continue this expense waiver; however, it may
    modify or cancel its expense waiver at any time. See "Fund Details" for more
    information. In addition, the investment advisor has voluntarily limited the
    Expenses of the Fund to .20%. Without this limitation, Expenses would be
    .40% higher. Absent expense waivers and/or reimbursements, the Total
    Operating Expenses of the Fund would be .82%. The investment advisor may
    cease any voluntary waiver or reimbursement at any time.

     The above table shows the costs and expenses you would pay directly or
indirectly if you invested in Institutional Service Shares of a Fund. THE
EXAMPLES DO NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE
GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

                               FUND DESCRIPTIONS
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
EACH FUND'S OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS
 
     Each Fund's investment objective is nonfundamental, which means the
objective can be changed without a shareholder vote. There can be no assurance
that a Fund's investment objective will be achieved.
 
     Each Fund has also adopted fundamental investment policies designed to
limit a Fund's exposure to risk. Fundamental policies can be changed only with
a shareholder vote. For more information about investment policies, see
"Securities and Investment Practices" below and the SAI.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of current
income as is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. The
Fund will invest principally in short-term corporate debt securities.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with preserving
capital and providing liquidity. The Fund will invest principally in municipal
obligations. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's annual
interest income will be exempt from federal income tax other than the federal
alternative minimum tax.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND seeks to maintain stability
of principal while earning current income. The Fund will invest in short-term
U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by such
obligations.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND seeks to maintain
stability of principal while earning current income. The Fund will invest only
in U.S. Treasury securities.
    
     EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level
of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the
maintenance of liquidity. The Fund will invest exclusively in securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.
    
     In addition, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00 per share. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL MAINTAIN A STABLE NET
ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
 
     Each Fund will invest in short-term securities that are determined to
present minimal credit risk and are, at the time of acquisition, eligible
securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("Rule 2a-7"). Short-term securities are those having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. Each Fund will also comply with the
diversification requirements and other applicable requirements prescribed by
Rule 2a-7.
 
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
 
     You can find more information about the types of securities in which each
Fund may invest, the types of investment techniques each Fund may employ in
pursuit of its objective and a summary of related risks set forth below. The
Funds' SAI contains additional information about these investments and
investment techniques.
    
U.S. Government Securities. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities may be supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government, by the right of the issuer to borrow
from the Treasury, or only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality
itself. EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT 100%
TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND will invest only in U.S. Treasury securities, which
are high quality debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, guaranteed as to
principal and interest, and supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government. EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL
MONEY MARKET FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND may
invest in any security issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
agencies or instrumentalities.
     
     While U.S. government securities are guaranteed as to principal and
interest, their market value is not guaranteed. Generally, U.S. government
securities are subject to the same interest rate and credit risks as other
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
fixed-income securities. However, since U.S. government securities are of the
highest credit quality, the credit risk is minimal. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOES
NOT GUARANTEE THE NET ASSET VALUE OF THE FUNDS' SHARES.
 
     Included among the U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities in
whose securities EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND may invest are the
Interamerican Development Bank and the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development. Obligations of these banks are supported only by the
appropriated but unpaid commitments of its member countries. There are no
assurances that the commitments will be undertaken in the future.
 
Municipal Obligations. EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND may invest
in municipal bonds, notes and commercial paper issued by or for any state,
territory or possession of the U.S. (including the District of Columbia) and
their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. Municipal
obligations are issued by or for state or local governments to support general
financial needs or to pay for public projects or facilities.
 
     Municipal bonds are mainly divided between "general obligation" and
"revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and
credit of governmental issuers with the power to tax. They are repaid from the
issuer's general revenues. Payment, however, may be dependent upon legislative
approval and may be subject to limitations on the issuer's taxing power.
Revenue bonds are supported only by the revenues generated by the project or
facility.
 
     Municipal notes and commercial paper are short-term debt instruments
issued in anticipation of taxes and other revenues.
 
Taxable Investments. EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND may
temporarily invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable securities under any
one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending investment of proceeds
of sale of Fund shares or of portfolio securities, (b) pending settlement of
purchases of portfolio securities, and (c) to maintain liquidity for the
purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. The Fund may temporarily invest
more than 20% of its total assets in taxable securities for defensive
purposes. The Fund may invest for defensive purposes during periods when its
assets available for investment exceed the available municipal securities that
meet the Fund's quality and other investment criteria. Taxable securities in
which the Fund may invest on a short-term basis include obligations of the
U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including repurchase
agreements with banks or securities dealers involving such securities; time
deposits maturing in not more than seven days; other debt securities rated
within the two highest ratings categories by any nationally recognized
statistical rating organization; commercial paper rated in the highest grade
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services; and
certificates of deposit issued by U.S. branches of U.S. banks with assets of
$1 billion or more.
 
Other Eligible Securities. EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND may also invest
in corporate debt securities, commercial paper and bank obligations.
 
Borrowing. Each Fund may borrow from banks in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its
total assets, taken at market value. Each Fund may also borrow an additional
5% of its total assets from banks or others. A Fund may only borrow as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes such as the
redemption of Fund shares. A Fund will not purchase securities while
borrowings are outstanding except to exercise prior commitments and to
exercise subscription rights.
 
Securities Lending. To generate income and offset expenses, each Fund, except
Evergreen Select 100% Treasury Money Market Fund, may lend securities to
broker-dealers and other financial institutions. Loans of securities by a Fund
may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets. While
securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any income accruing on
the security. Also, the Fund may invest any collateral it receives in
additional securities.
 
     Gains or losses in the market value of a lent security will affect a Fund
and its shareholders. When a Fund lends its securities, it may not be able to
retrieve the securities on a timely basis, possibly losing the opportunity to
sell the securities at a desirable price. Also, if the borrower files for
bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's ability to dispose of the
securities may be delayed.
 
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies. Each Fund may invest in
securities of other investment companies. As a shareholder of another
investment company, a Fund would pay its portion of the other
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
investment company's expenses. These expenses would be in addition to the
expenses that the Fund currently pays for its own operations and may result in
some duplication of fees.
 
When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions. Each Fund
may enter into transactions whereby it commits to buying a security, but does
not pay for or take delivery of the security until some specified date in the
future. The value of these securities is subject to market fluctuation during
this period and no income accrues to a Fund until settlement. At the time of
settlement, a when-issued security may be valued at less than its purchase
price. When entering into these transactions, a Fund relies on the other party
to consummate the transaction; if the other party fails to do so, the Fund may
be disadvantaged. Each Fund does not intend to purchase when-issued securities
for speculative purposes, but only in furtherance of its investment objective.
 
Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. A
repurchase agreement is an agreement by which a Fund purchases a security
(usually a U.S. government security) for cash and obtains a simultaneous
commitment from the seller (usually a bank or broker-dealer) to repurchase the
security at an agreed-upon price and at a specified future date. The
repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate for the time period of
the agreement. A Fund's risk is the inability of the seller to pay the agreed-
upon price on the delivery date. However, this risk is tempered by the ability
of the Fund to sell the security in the open market in case of default. In
such a case, a Fund may incur costs in disposing of the security which would
increase Fund expenses. A Fund's investment advisor will monitor the
creditworthiness of the firms with which the Fund enters into repurchase
agreements.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is an agreement by a Fund to sell a
security and repurchase it at a specified time and price. A Fund could lose
money if the market value of the securities it sold declines below their
repurchase price. Reverse repurchase agreements may be considered a form of
borrowing, and, therefore, a form of leverage. Leverage may magnify gains or
losses of the Fund.
 
Other Investment Restrictions. Each Fund has adopted additional investment
restrictions and guidelines that are set forth in the SAI.
 
Risks of Debt Securities. When a Fund buys a debt security, it generally
expects a variable or fixed rate of interest and repayment of the principal at
maturity. The main risks of investing in debt securities are:
 
    . Interest Rate Risk: The risk that a bond's prices will fall when
      interest rates rise, and vice versa. Debt securities have varying
      levels of sensitivity to interest rates. Longer-term bonds are
      generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates than short term
      bonds.
 
    . Credit Risk: The chance that the issuer of a bond will have its credit
      rating downgraded or will default (fail to make scheduled interest and
      principal payments), potentially reducing a Fund's income and/or share
      price.

                           BUYING AND SELLING SHARES
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
HOW TO BUY SHARES
 
     Institutional investors may buy Institutional Service Shares of the Funds
through broker-dealers, banks and certain other financial intermediaries, or
directly through the Funds' distributor, Evergreen Distributor, Inc. ("EDI").
Investors may purchase Institutional Shares at the public offering price,
which equals the class's net asset value per share ("NAV"). See "Offering
Price and Other Purchase Information" below.
 
Minimum Investment. The minimum initial investment in Institutional Service
Shares is $1 million, which may be waived in certain situations. There is no
minimum amount required for subsequent purchases.
 
Opening an Account. You may open an account by mailing a signed account
application to the particular Fund c/o Evergreen Service Company, P.O. Box
2121, Boston, Massachusetts 02106-2121. You may obtain an account application
by calling 1-800-633-2700.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     Except as provided below, you can purchase shares only by wiring federal
funds to Evergreen Service Company (the "Service Company"). You may obtain
wiring instructions by calling 1-800-633-2700. When you call, the Service
Company representative will ask you for the following information: name of
authorized person; shareholder name; shareholder account number; name of the
Fund and share class; amount being wired; and wiring bank name.
 
Offering Price and Other Purchase Information. When you buy a Fund's shares,
you pay its NAV next determined after the Fund receives and accepts your
order. Each Fund computes its NAV twice daily, at 12 noon (eastern time) and
as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
(currently 4:00 p.m. eastern time). Therefore, depending on when the Fund
accepts your order, you will receive its NAV calculated at 12 noon or 4:00
p.m.
 
     You may, at a Fund's discretion, pay for shares of a Fund with securities
instead of cash. Additionally, if you want to buy a Fund's shares equal in
amount to $5 million or more the Fund may require you to pay for those shares
with securities instead of cash. A Fund will only accept securities that are
consistent with its investment objective, policies and restrictions. Also, a
Fund will value the securities in the manner described under "How the Funds
Calculate Their NAV." Investors who receive a Fund's shares for securities
instead of cash may pay such transaction costs as broker's commissions, taxes
or governmental fees.
 
HOW TO REDEEM SHARES
 
     You may redeem shares of a Fund by mail, telephone or other types of
telecommunication. Once a redemption request has been telephoned, mailed or
otherwise transmitted, it may not be changed or canceled.
 
Mail Redemptions. You may redeem shares on each day that the NYSE is open by
mailing a written request to the Service Company at the following address:
 
     Evergreen Service Company
     P.O. Box 2121
     Boston, Massachusetts 02106-2121
 
     The signatures on the written request must be properly guaranteed, as
described below.
 
How To Redeem By Telephone. You may redeem your shares by calling 1-800-633-
2700 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on each
business day. You may also redeem shares by sending a facsimile to (617) 210-
2708 or by other means of wire communication. You must state the Fund and
class from which you want to redeem, the number or dollar amount of shares you
want to redeem and your account number. The telephone redemption service is
not available to you automatically. You must elect it on your account
application.
 
     If you are unable to reach the Funds or the Service Company by telephone,
you should redeem by mail.
 
     The Service Company will wire your redemption proceeds to the commercial
bank account designated on the account application. If the Service Company
deems it appropriate, it may require additional documentation. Although at
present the Service Company pays the wire costs involved, it reserves the
right at any time to require the shareholder to pay such costs.
 
Redemption Value and Other Redemption Policies. When you sell shares, you
receive the NAV next computed after a Fund receives your request. Since each
Fund computes its NAV twice daily, depending on when the Fund receives your
request, you will receive its NAV calculated at 12 noon or 4:00 p.m. (eastern
time). Generally, the Fund pays redemption proceeds within seven days.
Redemption requests received after 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) will be processed
using the NAV determined on the next business day.
 
     The Funds may, at any time, change, suspend or terminate any of the
redemption methods described in this prospectus, except redemptions by mail.
For more information, see "How the Funds Calculate Their NAV."
 
     The Funds may, at their discretion, pay your redemption proceeds with
securities instead of cash. However, each Fund is obligated to redeem shares
solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Fund's total net assets
during any ninety-day period for any one shareholder. See the SAI for further
details.
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
     Except as otherwise noted, neither the Funds, the Service Company nor the
Funds' distributor assumes responsibility for the authenticity of any
instructions received by any of them from a shareholder by telephone. The
Service Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
received over the telephone or otherwise are genuine. Neither the Funds, the
Service Company nor the Funds' distributor will be liable when following
instructions received by telephone or otherwise that the Service Company
reasonably believes to be genuine.
 
     Shareholders may only change information contained in their account
registration (such as the bank account designated to receive wire redemption
proceeds) by writing to the Service Company. Signatures on such written
instructions must be guaranteed.
 
     The Funds may temporarily suspend the right to redeem shares when:
 
     (1) the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday
closings;
 
     (2) trading on the NYSE is restricted;
 
     (3) an emergency exists and the Funds cannot dispose of their investments
or fairly determine their value; or
 
     (4) the SEC so orders.
 
ADDITIONAL TRANSACTION POLICIES
 
How the Funds Calculate Their NAV. A Fund's NAV equals the value of its shares
without sales charges. A Fund calculates its NAV by adding up the total value
of its investments and other assets, subtracting its liabilities and then
dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding. All expenses,
including fees paid to the Fund's investment advisor, are accrued daily. Each
Fund computes its NAV twice daily, at 12 noon (eastern time) and as of the
close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on each day that
the NYSE is open.
 
     The securities in each Fund's portfolio are valued on an amortized cost
basis according to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
this method of valuation, a security is initially valued at its acquisition
cost, and thereafter a constant straightline amortization of any discount or
premium is assumed each day regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest
rates on the market value of the security. The market value of the obligations
in the Fund's portfolio can be expected to vary inversely to changes in
prevailing interest rates. As a result, the market value of the obligations in
the Fund's portfolio may vary from the value determined using the amortized
cost method.
 
Signature Guarantee. For your protection, signatures on stock powers, and
written orders or authorizations must have a signature guarantee. A signature
guarantee can be provided by a U.S. stock exchange member, a bank, or other
persons eligible to guarantee signatures under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the Service Company's policies. The Service Company may waive this
requirement or may require additional documentation in certain cases.
 
EXCHANGES
 
     You may exchange Institutional Service Shares of a Fund for Institutional
Service Shares of any other Evergreen "Select" fund. You may exchange your
shares through your broker-dealer, by mail or by telephone. All exchange
orders must comply with the applicable requirements for purchases and
redemptions and must include your account number, the number or value of
shares to be exchanged, the class of shares, and the funds to and from which
you wish to exchange. Exchanges will be based on the relative NAV of the
shares exchanged next determined after the exchange request is received. Once
an exchange request has been telephoned or mailed, it may not be changed or
canceled.
 
     Signatures on exchange orders must be guaranteed, as described above.
 
     The Funds reserve the right to change or revoke the exchange privilege of
any shareholder or to limit or revoke any exchange. Currently, you may not
make more than five exchanges in a calendar year or three exchanges in a
calendar quarter.
 
     Please read the prospectus of the fund that you want to exchange into
before requesting your exchange.
 
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
     For federal income tax purposes, an exchange is treated as a sale for
taxable investors.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
     As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of earnings on a Fund's
investments. You receive such earnings as either an income dividend or a
capital gains distribution. Income dividends come from the dividends that a
Fund earns from its stocks plus any interest it receives from its bonds. A
Fund realizes a capital gain whenever it sells a security for a higher price
than its tax basis.
 
Dividend Schedule. Each Fund declares dividends from its net investment income
daily and pays such dividends monthly. Each Fund pays shareholders its net
capital gains at least once a year.
 
Payment Options. Unless you select another option on your account application,
your dividends and capital gains will be reinvested in additional shares of
the same class of the same Fund. Shareholders will receive dividends on
investments made by federal funds bank wire the same day the wire is received
provided that wire purchases are received by State Street Bank and Trust
Company, custodian for the Funds, by 12 noon (eastern time). Shares purchased
by qualified institutions via telephone will receive the dividend declared on
that day if the telephone order is placed by 12 noon (eastern time), and
federal funds are received by 4:00 p.m. (eastern time). All other wire
purchases received after 12 noon (eastern time) will earn dividends beginning
the following business day. Dividends accruing on the day of redemption will
be paid to redeeming shareholders except for redemptions where proceeds are
wired the same day.
 
     You may elect to receive some or all of your dividends and capital gains
in cash. Should you select this option, a check will be mailed to you or your
agent or trustee no later than seven days after the payment date.
 
TAXES
   
     EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND intend to qualify, and each of the other
Funds has qualified and intends to continue to qualify, as regulated
investment companies ("RICs") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. As long as a Fund qualifies as a RIC and distributes
substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains, it will not
pay federal income taxes on the earnings it distributes to shareholders.
     
     Distributions to shareholders, whether taken in cash or reinvested in
shares, are generally considered taxable for federal income tax purposes as
follows:
 
    . Income distributions and net short-term capital gains are taxable as
      ordinary income.
 
    . Long-term capital gains distributions are taxable as capital gains,
      regardless of how long you have held your shares.
 
     After each calendar year, the Service Company will mail you a statement
indicating which of that year's distributions you should treat as ordinary
income and which you should treat as capital gains. Distributions of income or
capital gains may also be subject to state and local taxes. You should always
consult your tax advisor for specific guidance as to the tax consequences of
your investment in a Fund.
 
     EVERGREEN SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND will designate and pay
exempt-interest dividends derived from interest earned on qualifying tax
exempt obligations. Such exempt-interest dividends may be excluded by
shareholders of the Fund from their gross income for federal income tax
purposes. However, (1) all or a portion of such exempt-interest dividends may
be a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual and
corporate alternative minimum taxes to the extent that they are derived from
certain types of private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, and (2)
all exempt-interest dividends will be a component of "adjusted current
earnings" for purposes of the federal corporate alternative minimum tax.
Dividends paid from taxable income, if any, and distributions of any net
realized short-term capital gains (whether from tax exempt or taxable) are
taxable as ordinary income, even though received in additional Fund shares.
Market discount recognized on taxable and tax-free bonds is taxable as
ordinary income, not as excludable income.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
 
     Details on all shareholder services may be obtained from the Service
Company by calling toll free 1-800-633-2700 or by writing to the Service
Company.
 
Subaccount. Special processing has been arranged with the Service Company for
banks and other institutions that wish to open multiple accounts (a master
account and subaccounts). An investor wishing to use the Service Company's
subaccounting facilities will be required to enter into a separate agreement,
with the charges to be determined on the basis of the level of services to be
rendered. Subaccounts may be opened with the initial investment or at a later
date and may be established by an investor with registration either by name or
by number.

FUND ORGANIZATION AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
 
Fund Structure. Each Fund is an investment pool, which invests shareholders'
money towards a specified goal. Each Fund is a diversified series of an open-
end, management investment company called Evergreen Select Money Market Trust
(the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware business trust organized on September
18, 1997.
 
Board of Trustees. The Trust is supervised by a Board of Trustees that is
responsible for representing the interests of shareholders. The Trustees meet
periodically throughout the year to oversee each Fund's activities, reviewing,
among other things, its performance and its contractual arrangements with
various service providers.
    
Shareholder Rights. All shareholders participate equally in distributions from
a Fund's assets and have equal voting, liquidation and other rights. Each
share is entitled to one vote for each dollar of NAV applicable to such share.
Shareholders may exchange shares as described under "Exchanges," but will have
no other preference, conversion, exchange or preemptive rights. When issued
and paid for, your shares will be fully paid and nonassessable. Fund shares
are redeemable, transferable and freely assignable as collateral. The Trust
may establish additional classes or series of shares.
     
     The Funds do not hold annual shareholder meetings; a Fund may, however,
hold special meetings for such purposes as electing or removing Trustees,
changing fundamental policies and approving investment advisory agreements or
12b-1 plans. In addition, the Funds are prepared to assist shareholders in
communicating with one another for the purpose of convening a meeting to elect
Trustees.
 
Advisor. The investment advisor to each Fund is First Union National Bank
("FUNB"), a subsidiary of First Union Corporation ("First Union"). First Union
is located at 301 South College Street, and FUNB at 201 South College Street,
Charlotte, North Carolina 28288-0630. First Union and its subsidiaries provide
a broad range of financial services to individuals and businesses throughout
the U.S.
    
     FUNB is entitled to receive from each Fund an advisory fee based on a
percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets. Computed daily and paid
monthly, the fee is 0.15% for EVERGREEN SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN
SELECT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, EVERGREEN SELECT TREASURY MONEY MARKET
FUND and EVERGREEN SELECT U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND. The fee is 0.25%
for EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND, but FUNB currently
limits the fee for EVERGREEN SELECT 100% TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND to 0.15%.
FUNB may, however, modify or cancel this limit at any time.
     
Distributor. Evergreen Distributor, Inc., 125 West 55th Street, New York, New
York 10019, markets the Funds and distributes their shares through broker-
dealers, financial planners and other financial representatives. Evergreen
Distributor, Inc. is a subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc. and is not
affiliated with First Union.
 
Transfer Agent. Evergreen Service Company, 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA
02116-5034, handles shareholder services, including record keeping and account
statements, distribution of dividends and capital gains and processing of
transactions.

Administrator. Evergreen Investment Services, Inc. ("EIS"), subject to the
supervision and control of the Trust's Board of Trustees, provides the Funds
with facilities, equipment and personnel. For its services as administrator,
EIS is entitled to receive a fee based on the aggregate daily net assets of
all mutual funds administered by EIS for which any affiliate of FUNB serves as
investment advisor. The administration fee is calculated in accordance with
the following schedule:

OTHER INFORMATION AND POLICIES
 
Year 2000 Risks. Like other investment companies, financial and business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the Funds' investment advisor and the
Funds' other service providers do not properly process and calculate date-
related information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is commonly
known as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Funds' investment advisor is taking
steps to address the Year 2000 Problem with respect to the computer systems
that it uses and to obtain assurances that comparable steps are being taken by
the Fund's other major service providers. At this time, however, there can be
no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact
on the Funds.
 
Distribution Plan. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for the
Institutional Service Shares of each Fund (the "Plan") as allowed under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan permits the Fund to pay an annual
service fee of up to .25% of average daily net assets for personal services
rendered to shareholders and/or the maintenance of accounts. The Plan may be
terminated at any time by vote of the Independent Trustees or by vote of a
majority of the outstanding Institutional Service Shares. For more information
about the Plan, see the SAI.
 
Banking Laws. The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations
presently prohibit a bank holding company or its affiliates (a "Bank") from
sponsoring, organizing, controlling, or distributing the shares of a
registered open-end investment company such as each Fund. However, a Bank may
act as investment advisor, transfer agent or custodian to a registered open-
end investment company. A Bank may also purchase shares of such company and
pay third parties for performing these functions.
 
Securities Transactions. Under policies established by the Trust's Board of
Trustees, FUNB selects broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions
subject to the receipt of best execution. In so doing, FUNB may select broker-
dealers who are affiliated with FUNB. Moreover, a Fund may pay higher
commissions to broker-dealers that provide research services, which FUNB may
use in advising a Fund or its other clients.
 
Code of Ethics. The Funds and FUNB have each adopted a code of ethics
incorporating policies on personal securities trading. In general, these codes
of ethics require that certain personnel of the Funds and FUNB (1) abstain
from engaging in certain personal trading practices and (2) report certain
personal trading activities.
 
Other Classes of Shares. Each Fund offers two classes of shares, Institutional
and Institutional Service. Only Institutional Service Shares are offered
through this prospectus. Call the Service Company for further information or a
prospectus offering Institutional Shares of the Funds.

FUND PERFORMANCE
 
     From time to time, a Fund may quote its yield in advertisements or in
reports to shareholders. Yield information may be useful in reviewing the
performance of a Fund and for providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, since net investment income of a Fund
changes in response to fluctuations in interest rates and Fund expenses, any
given yield quotation should not be considered representative of a Fund's
yields for any future period.
 
     The method of calculating each Fund's yield is set forth in the SAI.
Before investing, the investor may want to determine which investment--tax-
free or taxable--will result in a higher after-tax return. To do this, the
yield on the tax-free investment should be divided by the decimal determined
by subtracting from 1 the highest federal tax rate to which the investor
currently is subject. For example, if the tax-free yield is 6% and the
investor's maximum tax bracket is 36%, the computation is:
 
     6% Tax-Free Yield/(1-.36 Tax Rate) = 6/.64 = 9.38% Taxable Yield
 
     In this example, the investor's after-tax return will be higher from the
6% tax-free investment if available taxable yields are below 9.38%.
Conversely, the taxable investment will provide a higher return when taxable
yields exceed 9.38%. This is only an example and is not necessarily reflective
of a Fund's yield. The tax equivalent yield will be lower for investors in the
lower income brackets.
 
     Comparative performance information may also be used from time to time in
advertising or marketing the Funds' shares, including data from Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report, Bank Rate Monitor
and other industry publications.
 
     For more information on Fund performance, see the SAI.

                               INVESTMENT POLICIES

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

         Each Fund has adopted the fundamental investment restrictions set forth
below  which may not be changed  without  the vote of a  majority  of the Fund's
outstanding shares, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the"1940 Act").  Where necessary,  an explanation  beneath a fundamental policy
describes a Fund's practices with respect to that policy,  as allowed by current
law. If the law governing the a policy changes,  the Fund's practices may change
accordingly  without a shareholder vote. Unless otherwise stated, all references
to the assets of the Fund are in terms of current market value.

         1.  DIVERSIFICATION

         Each Fund may not make any  investment  that is  inconsistent  with its
classification as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

         FURTHER EXPLANATION OF DIVERSIFICATION POLICY:

         To remain classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940
Act, each Fund must conform with the following: With respect to 75% of its total
assets,  a  diversified  investment  company  may not invest more than 5% of its
total assets,  determined at market or other fair value at the time of purchase,
in the  securities  of any  one  issuer,  or  invest  in  more  than  10% of the
outstanding  voting  securities  of any one  issuer,  determined  at the time of
purchase.  These limitations do not apply to investments in securities issued or
guaranteed  by  the  United  States  ("U.S.")  government  or  its  agencies  or
instrumentalities.

         2.  CONCENTRATION

         Each Fund may not  concentrate  its  investments  in the  securities of
issuers primarily engaged in any particular industry (other than securities that
are issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities).

         FURTHER EXPLANATION OF CONCENTRATION POLICY:

         Each Fund may not invest  more than 25% of its total  assets,  taken at
market value, in the securities of issuers  primarily  engaged in any particular
industry (other than securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government or
its agencies or instrumentalities).

         3.  ISSUING SENIOR SECURITIES

         Except as permitted  under the 1940 Act, each Fund may not issue senior
securities.

         4.  BORROWING

         Each Fund may not  borrow  money,  except to the  extent  permitted  by
applicable law.

         FURTHER EXPLANATION OF BORROWING POLICY:

         Each Fund may borrow from banks in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its total
assets,  taken at market value. Each Fund may also borrow up to an additional 5%
of its total assets from banks or

24648
                                                       24648
                                                         3

<PAGE>



others.  Each Fund may borrow only as a temporary  measure for  extraordinary or
emergency  purposes  such as the  redemption  of Fund shares.  Each Fund may not
purchase  securities while  borrowings are outstanding  except to exercise prior
commitments and to exercise  subscription rights (as defined in the 1940 Act) or
enter into reverse repurchase agreements, in amounts up to 33 1/3 % of its total
assets  (including the amount  borrowed).  Each Fund may obtain such  short-term
credit as may be  necessary  for the  clarification  of  purchases  and sales of
portfolio securities.  Each Fund may purchase securities on margin and engage in
short sales to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         5.  UNDERWRITING

         Each  Fund  may not  underwrite  securities  of other  issuers,  except
insofar as each Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter  in connection  with the
disposition of its portfolio securities.

         6.  REAL ESTATE

         Each Fund may not  purchase or sell real estate,  except  that,  to the
extent  permitted by applicable law, each Fund may invest in (a) securities that
are directly or indirectly  secured by real estate,  or (b) securities issued by
issuers that invest in real estate.

         7.  COMMODITIES

         Each  Fund  may  not  purchase  or sell  commodities  or  contracts  on
commodities, except to the extent that each Fund may engage in financial futures
contracts and related options and currency contracts and related options and may
otherwise do so in accordance with  applicable law and without  registering as a
commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

         8.  LENDING

         Each Fund may not make loans to other  persons,  except  that each Fund
may lend its  portfolio  securities  in  accordance  with  applicable  law.  The
acquisition of investment  securities or other investment  instruments shall not
be deemed to be the making of a loan.

         FURTHER EXPLANATION OF LENDING POLICY:

         To generate  income and offset  expenses,  each Fund may lend portfolio
securities to broker-dealers and or financial institutions in an amount up to 33
1/3% of its total assets,  taken at market value.  While securities are on loan,
the borrower will pay a Fund any income accruing on the security.  Each Fund may
invest any collateral it receives in additional  portfolio  securities,  such as
U.S.  Treasury notes,  certificates  of deposit,  other  high-grade,  short-term
obligations or interest bearing cash equivalents.  Gains or losses in the market
value of a security lent will affect a Fund and its shareholders.

         When a Fund lends its securities,  it will require the borrower to give
the Fund  collateral  in cash or  government  securities.  The Fund will require
collateral  in an amount  equal to at least 100% of the current  market value of
the securities lent,  including accrued interest. A Fund has the right to call a
loan and  obtain  the  securities  lent any time on notice of not more than five
business days.
A Fund may pay reasonable fees in connection with such loans.

         Although  voting  rights  attendant  to  securities  lent  pass  to the
borrower,  a Fund may call such loans at any time and may vote the securities if
it believes a material  event  affecting the  investment is to occur. A Fund may
experience a delay in receiving additional collateral or in

24648
                                                       24648
                                                         4

<PAGE>



recovering  the  securities  lent or may  even  suffer a loss of  rights  in the
collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Each Fund may
only make loans to  borrowers  deemed to be of good  standing,  under  standards
approved  by the Board of  Trustees,  when the income to be earned from the loan
justifies the attendant risks.

         9.  INVESTMENTS IN FEDERALLY TAX-EXEMPT SECURITIES

         Each Fund will, during periods of normal market conditions,  invest its
assets in accordance  with  applicable  guidelines  issued by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") or its staff  concerning  investment in tax-exempt
securities for funds with the words  tax-exempt,  tax free or municipal in their
names.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

         The  investment  objective  of  each  Fund  and a  description  of  the
securities  in  which  each  Fund  may  invest  are  set  forth  in  the  Funds'
prospectuses.  The following  expands upon the  discussion  in the  prospectuses
regarding certain investments of the Funds.
    
         Each Fund will invest in short-term  securities  that are determined to
present  minimal  credit  risk and are,  at the  time of  acquisition,  eligible
securities  pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, ("Rule 2a-7").  Short-term
securities are those having remaining  maturities of 397 days or less. Each Fund
will also  comply with the  diversification  requirements  and other  applicable
requirements prescribed by Rule 2a-7.

Municipal Bonds (Municipal Fund)

         The Fund may  invest in  municipal  bonds of any  state,  territory  or
possession of the U.S.,  including  the District of Columbia.  The Fund may also
invest   in   municipal   bonds  of  any   political   subdivision,   agency  or
instrumentality   (e.g.,   counties,   cities,   towns,   villages,   districts,
authorities)  of  the  U.S.  or  its  possessions.   Municipal  bonds  are  debt
instruments  issued by or for a state or local government to support its general
financial  needs  or to pay for  special  projects  such as  airports,  bridges,
highways, public transit, schools, hospitals, housing and water and sewer works.
Municipal bonds may also may be issued to refinance public debt.

        Municipal  bonds are mainly divided  between  "general  obligation"  and
"revenue"  bonds.  General  obligation  bonds are  backed by the full  faith and
credit of  governmental  issuers with the power to tax. They are repaid from the
issuer's general revenues.  Payment,  however, may be dependent upon legislative
approval  and may be  subject  to  limitations  on the  issuer's  taxing  power.
Enforcement of payments due under general  obligation  bonds varies according to
the law applicable to the issuer. In contrast,  revenue bonds are supported only
by the revenues generated by the project or facility.

         The Fund may also invest in industrial  development  bonds.  Such bonds
are usually  revenue bonds issued to pay for  facilities  with a public  purpose
operated by private corporations.  The credit quality of industrial  development
bonds is usually directly related to the credit standing of the owner or user of
the  facilities.  To  qualify  as a  municipal  bond,  the  interest  paid on an
industrial  development  bond must qualify as fully  exempt from federal  income
tax. However, the interest paid on an industrial development bond may be subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax.

        The  yields  on  municipal  bonds  depend  on  such  factors  as  market
conditions, the financial condition of the issuer and the issue's size, maturity
date and rating. Municipal bonds are rated by

24648
                                                       24648
                                                         5

<PAGE>



Standard & Poor's Ratings Services  ("S&P"),  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
("Moody's") and Fitch IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch"). Such ratings, however, are opinions,
not  absolute  standards  of quality.  Municipal  bonds with the same  maturity,
interest rate and rating may have different  yields,  while municipal bonds with
the same maturity and interest  rate, but different  ratings,  may have the same
yield.  Once  purchased by the Fund,  a municipal  bond may cease to be rated or
receive a new  rating  below the  minimum  required  for  purchase  by the Fund.
Neither event would require the Fund to sell the bond, but the Fund's investment
advisor  would  consider  such  events in  determining  whether  the Fund should
continue to hold it.

         The ability of the Fund to achieve  its  investment  objective  depends
upon the  continuing  ability of issuers of municipal  bonds to pay interest and
principal when due. Municipal bonds are subject to the provisions of bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws  affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Such
laws extend the time for payment of principal and/or interest, and may otherwise
restrict the Fund's ability to enforce its rights in the event of default. Since
there is generally  less  information  available on the  financial  condition of
municipal  bond issuers  compared to other domestic  issuers of securities,  the
Fund's  investment   advisor  may  lack  sufficient   knowledge  of  an  issue's
weaknesses. Other influences, such as litigation, may also materially affect the
ability of an issuer to pay principal  and interest  when due. In addition,  the
market for  municipal  bonds is often thin and can be  temporarily  affected  by
large purchases and sales, including those by the Fund.

        From time to time,  Congress has  considered  restricting or eliminating
the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal  bonds.  Such actions
could  materially  affect the  availability  of municipal bonds and the value of
those already owned by the Fund. If such  legislation  were passed,  the Trust's
Board of Trustees may recommend changes in the Fund's investment  objectives and
policies or dissolution of the Fund.

U.S. Government Securities
   
         Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government or its agencies
or  instrumentalities  may be supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government,  by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury,  or only by
the  credit of the  agency or  instrumentality  itself.  TREASURY  FUND and 100%
TREASURY  FUND will  invest  only in U.S.  Treasury  securities,  which are high
quality debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury,  guaranteed as to principal
and interest, and supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
MONEY FUND, MUNICIPAL FUND and GOVERNMENT FUND may invest in any security issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
    
         Some  government  agencies  and   instrumentalities   may  not  receive
financial support from the U.S. government. Examples of such agencies are:

         (i)      Farm Credit System, including the National Bank for 
                  Cooperatives, Farm Credit Banks and Banks for Cooperatives;

         (ii)     Farmers Home Administration;

         (iii)    Federal Home Loan Banks;

         (iv)     Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation;

         (v)      Federal National Mortgage Association; and

Securities Issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA")
(Money Fund, Municipal Fund, Government Fund)
    
        The Funds may invest in  securities  issued by the GNMA,  a  corporation
wholly-owned by the U.S. government. GNMA securities or "certificates" represent
ownership in a pool of underlying mortgages. The timely payment of principal and
interest due on these securities is guaranteed.

        Unlike  conventional  bonds,  the principal on GNMA  certificates is not
paid at  maturity  but  over  the  life of the  security  in  scheduled  monthly
payments. While mortgages pooled in a GNMA certificate may have maturities of up
to 30 years,  the certificate  itself will have a shorter  average  maturity and
less principal volatility than a comparable 30-year bond.

        The market value and interest  yield of GNMA  certificates  can vary due
not only to market  fluctuations,  but also to early  prepayments  of  mortgages
within  the pool.  Since  prepayment  rates vary  widely,  it is  impossible  to
accurately  predict  the  average  maturity  of a GNMA pool.  In addition to the
guaranteed  principal  payments,  GNMA  certificates  may also make  unscheduled
principal payments resulting from prepayments on the underlying mortgages.

        Although GNMA  certificates may offer yields higher than those available
from other types of U.S. government securities,  they may be less effective as a
means of  locking  in  attractive  long-term  rates  because  of the  prepayment
feature.  For instance,  when interest rates decline,  prepayments are likely to
increase as the  holders of the  underlying  mortgages  seek  refinancing.  As a
result,  the value of a GNMA  certificate  is not  likely to rise as much as the
value of a  comparable  debt  security  would in  response to same  decline.  In
addition, these prepayments can cause the price of a GNMA certificate originally
purchased at a premium to decline in price compared to its par value,  which may
result in a loss.

Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico (Municipal Fund)

         The Fund may invest in  obligations  of the  governments  of the Virgin
Islands,  Guam and Puerto  Rico to the extent such  obligations  are exempt from
federal income taxes. The Fund does not presently intend to invest more than (a)
5% of its net assets in the  obligations  of each of the Virgin Islands and Guam
or (b) 25% of its net assets in the obligations of Puerto Rico. Accordingly, the
Fund may be adversely  affected by local  political and economic  conditions and
developments  within the Virgin  Islands,  Guam and Puerto  Rico  affecting  the
issuers of such obligations.

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions

         The Funds may purchase  securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis  and may  purchase  or sell  securities  on a  forward  commitment  basis.
Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made.

        The Funds may purchase  securities  under such  conditions only with the
intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to
sell the securities  before the settlement  date.  Since the value of securities
purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement,  a Fund may be required to pay more
at  settlement  than the security is worth.  In addition,  the  purchaser is not
entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.

<PAGE>



          Upon making a  commitment  to  purchase a security  on a  when-issued,
delayed  delivery or forward  commitment  basis,  a Fund will hold liquid assets
worth at least the  equivalent  of the amount  due.  The liquid  assets  will be
monitored on a daily basis and  adjusted as necessary to maintain the  necessary
value.

         Purchases  made under such  conditions are a form of leveraging and may
involve the risk that yields secured at the time of commitment may be lower than
otherwise  available by the time settlement  takes place,  causing an unrealized
loss to the fund. In addition,  when a Fund engages in such purchases, it relies
on the other party to  consummate  the sale. If the other party fails to perform
its  obligations,  the Fund may miss the  opportunity  to obtain a security at a
favorable price or yield.

Repurchase Agreements

        The Funds may enter into  repurchase  agreements  with entities that are
registered as U.S. government securities dealers,  including member banks of the
Federal Reserve System having at least $1 billion in assets,  primary dealers in
U.S.  government  securities  or other  financial  institutions  believed by the
investment advisor to be creditworthy. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund obtains
a security and simultaneously  commits to return the security to the seller at a
set price (including principal and interest) within a period of time usually not
exceeding  seven days.  The resale price  reflects  the  purchase  price plus an
agreed upon market rate of  interest  which is  unrelated  to the coupon rate or
maturity  of the  underlying  security.  A  repurchase  agreement  involves  the
obligation  of the seller to pay the agreed upon price,  which  obligation is in
effect secured by the value of the underlying security.

        A Fund or its custodian will take  possession of the securities  subject
to repurchase  agreements,  and these securities will be marked to market daily.
To the extent that the original seller does not repurchase the securities from a
Fund, a Fund could  receive less than the  repurchase  price on any sale of such
securities.  In the event that such a defaulting  seller filed for bankruptcy or
became  insolvent,  disposition of such  securities by the Fund might be delayed
pending court action.  Each Fund's  investment  advisor  believes that under the
regular  procedures  normally  in effect for  custody  of the  Fund's  portfolio
securities subject to repurchase  agreements,  a court of competent jurisdiction
would  rule in favor of the Fund and  allow  retention  or  disposition  of such
securities.  The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and
other  recognized  financial  institutions,  such as  broker-dealers,  which are
deemed by the  investment  advisor to be  creditworthy  pursuant  to  guidelines
established by the Board of Trustees.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

         As described herein,  the Funds may also enter into reverse  repurchase
agreements.  These  transactions  are similar to  borrowing  cash.  In a reverse
repurchase  agreement,  a Fund transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to
another person,  such as a financial  institution,  broker, or dealer, in return
for a percentage of the instrument's  market value in cash, and agrees that on a
stipulated date in the future the Fund will repurchase the portfolio  instrument
by remitting the original consideration plus interest at an agreed upon rate.

         The use of  reverse  repurchase  agreements  may enable a Fund to avoid
selling  portfolio  instruments  at a  time  when a sale  may  be  deemed  to be
disadvantageous,  but the ability to enter into  reverse  repurchase  agreements
does  not  ensure  that  the  Fund  will  be  able to  avoid  selling  portfolio
instruments at a disadvantageous time.

        When effecting reverse repurchase  agreements,  liquid assets of a Fund,
in a  dollar  amount  sufficient  to  make  payment  for the  obligations  to be
purchased,  are  segregated at the trade date.  These  securities  are marked to
market daily and maintained until the transaction is settled.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities
   
         Each Fund may not invest more than 10% of its net assets in  securities
that are illiquid.  A security is illiquid  when a Fund cannot  dispose of it in
the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately  the value at
which each Fund has the investment on its books.
    
         MONEY FUND and MUNICIPAL  FUND may invest in  "restricted"  securities,
i.e.,  securities  subject to  restrictions  on resale under federal  securities
laws.  Rule 144A under the  Securities  Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A") allows certain
restricted  securities  to  be  traded  freely  among  qualified   institutional
investors.  Since Rule 144A  securities may have limited  markets,  the Board of
Trustees will determine  whether such securities  should be considered  illiquid
for the purpose of  determining a Fund's  compliance  with the limit on illiquid
securities   indicated   above.  In  determining  the  liquidity  of  Rule  144A
securities,  the Trustees will consider:  (1) the frequency of trades and quotes
for the  security;  (2) the number of dealers  willing to  purchase  or sell the
security and the number of other potential  buyers;  (3) dealer  undertakings to
make a market in the security; and (4) the nature of the security and the nature
of the marketplace trades.

Investment in Other Investment Companies

         Each Fund may purchase the shares of other investment  companies to the
extent permitted under the 1940 Act. Currently,  each Fund may not: (1) own more
than 3% of the  outstanding  voting  stock of another  investment  company,  (2)
invest  more than 5% of its assets in any  single  investment  company,  and (3)
invest more than 10% of its assets in investment  companies.  However, each Fund
may invest  all of its  investable  assets in  securities  of a single  open-end
management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment
objectives, policies and limitations as each Fund.

Short Sales

         Each Fund may not make short  sales of  securities  or maintain a short
position  unless,  at all times when a short  position is open, it owns an equal
amount of such securities or of securities which, without payment of any further
consideration,  are convertible  into or exchangeable for securities of the same
issue as, and equal in amount  to,  the  securities  sold  short.  Each Fund may
effect a short  sale in  connection  with an  underwriting  in which a Fund is a
participant.

principal  occupations and some of their  affiliations over the last five years.

                         INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
   
         On  behalf  of  each  of its  Funds,  the  Trust  has  entered  into an
investment  advisory  agreement  with  the  investment  advisor  (the  "Advisory
Agreements").  Under the Advisory  Agreements,  FUNB is entitled to receive from
each Fund an advisory fee based on a percentage of each Fund's average daily net
assets.  Computed  daily and paid  monthly,  the fee is 0.15%  for  MONEY  FUND,
MUNICIPAL  FUND,  TREASURY FUND and GOVERNMENT  FUND and 0.25% for 100% TREASURY
FUND.  Currently,  FUNB  voluntarily  limits the fee for 100%  TREASURY  FUND to
0.15%, but FUNB may modify or cancel this limit at any time.
    
         Under the Advisory  Agreements,  and subject to the  supervision of the
Trust's  Board of Trustees,  the  investment  advisor  furnishes  each Fund with
investment advisory,  management and administrative services, office facilities,
and equipment in connection  with its services for managing the  investment  and
reinvestment  of the Fund's assets.  The investment  advisor pays for all of the
expenses  incurred in connection  with the provision of its services.  Each Fund
pays for all charges and expenses,  other than those specifically referred to as
being  borne by the  investment  advisor,  including,  but not  limited  to, (1)
custodian  charges and  expenses;  (2)  bookkeeping  and  auditors'  charges and
expenses;  (3) transfer  agent  charges and  expenses;  (4) fees and expenses of
Independent  Trustees  (Trustees  who are not  interested  persons of a Fund, as
defined  in the  1940  Act) ;  (5)  brokerage  commissions,  brokers'  fees  and
expenses;  (6) issue and  transfer  taxes;  (7)  costs  and  expenses  under the
Distribution  Plan  (as  applicable);  (8)  taxes  and  trust  fees  payable  to
governmental  agencies;  (9) the  cost of  share  certificates;  (10)  fees  and
expenses of the registration and  qualification of such Fund and its shares with
the SEC or under state or other  securities  laws;  (11)  expenses of preparing,
printing and mailing prospectuses, SAIs, notices, reports and proxy materials to
shareholders of the Fund; (12) expenses of shareholders' and Trustees' meetings;
(13) charges and expenses of legal counsel for the Fund and for the  Independent
Trustees  of the Trust on  matters  relating  to such  Fund;  (14)  charges  and
expenses of filing annual and other reports with the SEC and other  authorities;
and (15) all extraordinary charges and expenses of such Fund.

         Each  Advisory  Agreement  continues  in effect  for two years from its
effective  date and,  thereafter,  from year to year only if  approved  at least
annually  by the Board of  Trustees  of the Trust or by a vote of a majority  of
each  Fund's  outstanding  shares.  In either  case,  the terms of the  Advisory
Agreement and continuance  thereof must be approved by the vote of a majority of
the  Independent  Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on such approval.  The Advisory  Agreements  may be  terminated,  without
penalty,  on 60 days'  written  notice by the Trust's  Board of Trustees or by a
vote of a majority of outstanding shares. Each Advisory Agreement will terminate
automatically upon its "assignment" as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.

Transactions Among Advisory Affiliates

        The Trust has adopted  procedures  pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940
Act ("Rule 17a-7 Procedures"). The Rule 17a-7 Procedures permit a Fund to buy or
sell securities from another  investment company for which a subsidiary of First
Union is an investment  advisor.  The Rule 17a-7 Procedures also allow the Funds
to buy or sell securities  from other advisory  clients for whom a subsidiary of
First Union is an investment advisor.  The Funds may engage in such transactions
if they are equitable to each participant and consistent with each participant's
investment objective.

               DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR INSTITUTIONAL SERVICE SHARES

         Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits  mutual funds to use their assets
to pay for distributing their shares.  Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan
for its  Institutional  Service  Shares (the  "Plan")  that  permits the Fund to
deduct up to 0.25% of the  Institutional  Service  Shares' average net assets to
pay for shareholder services. The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, has approved the Plan.

         The National  Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc. ("NASD") limits
the amount that a mutual fund may pay annually in distribution costs for sale of
its shares and shareholder  service fees. The NASD limits annual expenditures to
1.00% of the  aggregate  average  daily net asset value of its shares,  of which
0.75%  may be used to pay such  distribution  costs and 0.25% may be used to pay
shareholder service fees. (The Funds,  however, do not deduct distribution costs
from  Institutional  Service Share assets,  only shareholder  service fees.) The
NASD  also  limits  the  aggregate  amount  that  the  Fund  may  pay  for  such
distribution  costs to 6.25% of gross  share sales  since the  inception  of the
distribution  plan,  plus  interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% on such amounts
remaining unpaid from time to time.

         The Independent Trustees or a majority of the outstanding voting shares
of a Fund's Institutional Service Shares may terminate the Plan.

         The Funds cannot change the Plan in a way that materially increases the
distribution   expenses  of  Institutional   Service  Shares  without  obtaining
shareholder approval. Otherwise, the Trustees may amend the Plan.

         Management must report the amounts and purposes of  expenditures  under
the Plan to the Independent Trustees quarterly.

         While the Plan is in  effect,  a Fund will be  required  to commit  the
selection  and  nomination  of  candidates  for  Independent   Trustees  to  the
discretion of the Independent Trustees.


                                    BROKERAGE

         Due to regulatory  developments  affecting the securities exchanges and
brokerage  practices,  the Board of Trustees may modify or eliminate  any of the
following policies.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

         Generally, each Fund expects to purchase and sell its equity securities
through brokerage transactions for which commissions are payable. Purchases from
underwriters  will  include  the  underwriting  commission  or  concession,  and
purchases from dealers serving as market makers will include a dealer's  mark-up
or reflect a dealer's mark-down.

         Each Fund expects to buy and sell its fixed income securities  directly
from the issuer or an underwriter or market maker for the securities. Generally,
each Fund will not pay brokerage  commissions  for such  purchases.  When a Fund
buys a security from an underwriter,  the purchase price will usually include an
underwriting commission or concession.  The purchase price for securities bought
from dealers  serving as market makers will similarly  include the dealer's mark
up or reflect a dealer's  mark down.  When a Fund executes  transactions  in the
over-the-counter

24648

market, it will deal with primary market makers unless more favorable prices are
otherwise obtainable.

SELECTION OF BROKERS

         When  buying and  selling  portfolio  securities,  each  Advisor  seeks
brokers who can provide the most  benefit to the Fund or Funds for which a trade
is being made. When selecting a broker,  an Advisor  primarily will look for the
best price at the lowest commission, but in the context of the broker's:

         1.       ability to provide the best net financial result to the Fund;
         2.       efficiency in handling trades;
         3.       ability to trade large blocks of securities;
         4.       readiness to handle difficult trades;
         5.       financial strength and stability; and
         6.       provision of "research services," defined as (a) reports and 
                  analyses concerning issuers, industries, securities and 
                  economic factors and (b) other information useful in making
                  investment decisions.

         Under  each  Advisory  Agreement,  each Fund may pay  higher  brokerage
commissions to a broker providing it with research services,  as defined in item
6, above. Pursuant to Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this
practice  is  permitted  if the  commission  is  reasonable  in  relation to the
brokerage and research services provided. Research services provided by a broker
to an  Advisor  do not  replace,  but  supplement,  the  services  an Advisor is
required to deliver to a Fund under the Advisory Agreement.  It is impracticable
for an Advisor to allocate  the cost,  value and  specific  application  of such
research  services among its clients because research  services intended for one
client may indirectly benefit another.

         When  selecting  a broker for  portfolio  trades,  an Advisor  may also
consider  the  amount of Fund  shares a broker  has sold,  subject  to the other
requirements described above.

SIMULTANEOUS TRANSACTIONS

         Each Advisor makes  investment  decisions for a Fund  independently  of
decisions  made for its other  clients.  When a  security  is  suitable  for the
investment  objective of more than one client,  it may be prudent for an Advisor
to engage in a simultaneous transaction,  that is, buy or sell the same security
for more than one client.  Each Advisor strives for an equitable  result in such
transactions  by using an allocation  formula.  The high volume involved in some
simultaneous  transactions  can  result in greater  value to the Funds,  but the
ideal price or trading volume may not always be achieved for an individual Fund.
In order to take advantage of the  availablility of lower purchase  prices,  the
Funds may occasionally participate in group bidding for the direct purchase from
an issuer of certain securities.


                               TRUST ORGANIZATION

FORM OF ORGANIZATION

         Each  Fund is a series of an  open-end  management  investment  company
known as Evergreen Select Money Market Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust was formed
as a Delaware business trust on

September  18, 1997,  pursuant to an  Agreement  and  Declaration  of Trust (the
"Declaration  of Trust").  A copy of the  Declaration of Trust is on file at the
SEC as an exhibit to the Trust's Registration  Statement, of which this SAI is a
part.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Declaration
of Trust.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

         The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number
of shares of beneficial  interest of series and classes of shares. Each share of
each Fund  represents an equal  proportionate  interest with each other share of
that series and/or class.  Upon  liquidation,  shares are entitled to a pro rata
share of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series and/or class.
Shareholders have no preemptive or conversion rights.  Shares are redeemable and
transferable.

VOTING RIGHTS

         Under the terms of the Declaration of Trust,  the Trust is not required
to hold annual meetings. At meetings called for the initial election of Trustees
or to consider other matters, each share is entitled to one vote for each dollar
of net asset value  applicable to such share.  Shares generally vote together as
one class on all  matters.  Classes  of shares  of each Fund have  equal  voting
rights.  No amendment  may be made to the  Declaration  of Trust that  adversely
affects  any class of shares  without  the  approval  of a majority of the votes
applicable  to the  shares of that  class.  Shares  have  non-cumulative  voting
rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the votes applicable to
shares  voting for the election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees to be
elected at a meeting  and, in such event,  the holders of the  remaining  shares
voting will not be able to elect any Trustees.

         After the initial meeting as described  above,  no further  meetings of
shareholders for the purpose of electing  Trustees will be held, unless required
by law,  unless  and until  such time as less than a  majority  of the  Trustees
holding  office have been elected by  shareholders,  at which time, the Trustees
then in office will call a shareholders' meeting for the election of Trustees.

LIMITATION OF TRUSTEES' LIABILITY

         The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee will not be liable for
errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, but nothing in the Declaration of
Trust  protects a Trustee  against any liability to which he would  otherwise be
subject  by reason of  willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith,  gross  negligence  or
reckless disregard of his duties involved in the conduct of his office.


                   PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES

EXCHANGES

        Investors may exchange  shares of a Fund for shares of the same class of
any other  Evergreen  "Select"  fund,  as described  under the section  entitled
"Exchanges" in a Fund's prospectus. Before you make an exchange, you should read
the  prospectus  of the  Evergreen  fund into  which you want to  exchange.  The
Trust's Board of Trustees reserves the right to discontinue,  alter or limit the
exchange privilege at any time.

CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE ("NAV")

         Each Fund  computes its NAV twice daily on Monday  through  Friday,  as
described  in the  prospectus.  A Fund will not compute its NAV on days on which
there  have  been no  purchases  or sales of its  shares.  A Fund  will also not
compute its NAV on the day the following legal holidays are observed: New Year's
Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

         The NAV of each Fund is  calculated  by dividing  the value of a Fund's
net  assets  attributable  to that  class by all of the  shares  issued for that
class.

VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

         The  securities in a Fund's  portfolio are valued on an amortized  cost
basis.  Under this method of  valuation,  a security is initially  valued at its
acquisition  cost, and thereafter a constant  straight-line  amortization of any
discount or premium is assumed each day  regardless of the impact of fluctuating
interest  rates on the market  value of the  security.  The market  value of the
obligations  in a Fund's  portfolio can be expected to vary inversely to changes
in  prevailing  rates.  As a result,  the market value of the  obligations  in a
Fund's  portfolio may vary from the value  determined  using the amortized  cost
method.  Securities  which  are not rated  are  normally  valued on the basis of
valuations  provided  by a pricing  service  when such  prices are  believed  to
reflect the fair value of such securities. Other assets and securities for which
no quotations  are readily  available are valued at the fair value as determined
in good faith by the Trustees.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

         As  described in the  prospectus,  a  shareholder  may elect to receive
dividends and capital gains  distributions  in cash instead of shares.  However,
ESC will automatically  convert a shareholder's  distribution option so that the
shareholder  reinvests all dividends and distributions in additional shares when
it learns that the postal or other delivery  service is unable to deliver checks
or transaction  confirmations to the shareholder's  address of record. The Funds
will   hold   the   returned   distribution   or   redemption   proceeds   in  a
noninterest-bearing  account in the  shareholder's  name  until the  shareholder
updates his or her address.  No interest will accrue on amounts  represented  by
uncashed distribution or redemption checks.


                              PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

         The  Distributor  is the principal  underwriter  for the Trust and each
class  of each  Fund.  The  Trust  has  entered  into a  Principal  Underwriting
Agreement  ("Underwriting  Agreement") with the Distributor with respect to each
class of each Fund. The Distributor is a subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc.

         The  Distributor,  as agent, has agreed to use its best efforts to find
purchasers for the shares. The Distributor may retain and employ representatives
to promote distribution of the shares and may obtain orders from broker-dealers,
and others, acting as principals,  for sales of shares to them. The Underwriting
Agreement  provides  that the  Distributor  will bear the expense of  preparing,
printing,  and  distributing  advertising and sales  literature and prospectuses
used by it.

                                                        18

<PAGE>



         All  subscriptions  and sales of shares by the  Distributor  are at the
public offering price of the shares,  which is determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust,  By-Laws,  current  prospectuses
and SAI.  All  orders  are  subject  to  acceptance  by the  Trust and the Trust
reserves the right, in its sole discretion,  to reject any order received. Under
the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the Trust is not liable to anyone for  failure to
accept any order.

         The Distributor  has agreed that it will, in all respects,  duly comply
with all  state and  federal  laws  applicable  to the sale of the  shares.  The
Distributor  has also agreed that it will  indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
and each  person  who has been,  is, or may be a Trustee or officer of the Trust
against  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by any of them in  connection  with any
claim,  action,  suit,  or  proceeding  to which any of them may be a party that
arises out of or is alleged to arise out of any misrepresentation or omission to
state a material  fact on the part of the  Distributor  or any other  person for
whose acts the  Distributor  is  responsible  or is  alleged to be  responsible,
unless such  misrepresentation  or omission  was made in reliance  upon  written
information furnished by the Trust.

         The  Underwriting  Agreement  provides that it will remain in effect as
long as its terms  and  continuance  are  approved  annually  (i) by a vote of a
majority of the Trust's Independent Trustees,  and (ii) by vote of a majority of
the Trust's Trustees,  in each case, cast in person at a meeting called for that
purpose.

         The Underwriting  Agreement may be terminated,  without penalty,  on 60
days'  written  notice by the Board of  Trustees  or by a vote of a majority  of
outstanding  shares subject to such agreement.  The Underwriting  Agreement will
terminate  automatically  upon its  "assignment," as that term is defined in the
1940 Act.

         From time to time, if, in the Distributor's  judgment, it could benefit
the sales of shares,  the  Distributor  may provide to  selected  broker-dealers
promotional materials and selling aids, including,  but not limited to, personal
computers, related software, and data files.


                           ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION

REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION AS A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY
   
         100% TREASURY FUND and GOVERNMENT FUND intend to qualify for and elect,
and each of the other Funds has qualified and intends to continue to qualify for
and elect,  the tax  treatment  applicable  to  regulated  investment  companies
("RICs")  under  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended
(the "Code").  (Such qualification does not involve supervision of management or
investment  practices or policies by the Internal Revenue  Service.) In order to
qualify as a RIC, a Fund must,  among other  things,  (i) derive at least 90% of
its gross income from  dividends,  interest,  payments  with respect to proceeds
from securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities or
foreign  currencies and other income  (including gains from options,  futures or
forward  contracts)  derived  with  respect to its business of investing in such
securities;  and (ii) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter
of its  taxable  year,  (a) at least 50% of the market  value of a Fund's  total
assets is represented by cash, U.S.  government  securities and other securities
limited in  respect of any one  issuer,  to an amount not  greater  than 5% of a
Fund's total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer,
and (b) not more than 25% of the value of its total  assets is  invested  in the
securities  of any  one  issuer  (other  than  U.S.  government  securities  and
securities of other RICs). By so qualifying, a Fund is not subject to

24648

                                                        19

<PAGE>



federal  income tax if it timely  distributes  its  investment  company  taxable
income and any net realized capital gains. A 4% nondeductible excise tax will be
imposed  on a  Fund  to  the  extent  it  does  not  meet  certain  distribution
requirements  by the end of each calendar year.  Each Fund  anticipates  meeting
such distribution requirements.

TAXES ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF FUND SHARES

         Upon a sale or exchange of Fund  shares,  a  shareholder  may realize a
taxable gain or loss depending on his or her basis in the shares.  A shareholder
must  treat such  gains or losses as a capital  gain or loss if the  shareholder
held the shares as capital  assets.  Capital  gain on assets  held for more than
twelve months is generally  subject to a maximum  federal income tax rate of 20%
for an individual. Generally, the Code will not allow a shareholder to realize a
loss on  shares he or she has sold or  exchanged  and  replaced  within a 61-day
period  beginning  30 days  before  and  ending 30 days  after he or she sold or
exchanged the shares. The Code will not allow a shareholder to realize a loss on
the sale of Fund  shares held by the  shareholder  for six months or less to the
extent  the  shareholder  received  exempt-interest  dividends  on such  shares.
Moreover, the Code will treat a shareholder's loss on shares held for six months
or less as a  long-term  capital  loss to the  extent the  shareholder  received
distributions of net capital gains on such shares.
    
        Shareholders who fail to furnish their taxpayer  identification  numbers
to a Fund and to certify as to its  correctness  and certain other  shareholders
may be subject to a 31% federal  income tax backup  withholding  requirement  on
dividends,  distributions of capital gains and redemption  proceeds paid to them
by the Fund. If the withholding provisions are applicable, any such dividends or
capital  gain  distributions  to these  shareholders,  whether  taken in cash or
reinvested in additional shares, and any redemption  proceeds will be reduced by
the amounts required to be withheld. Investors may wish to consult their own tax
advisors about the applicability of the backup withholding provisions.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS

        Distributions will be taxable to shareholders  whether made in shares or
in  cash.  Shareholders  electing  to  receive  distributions  in  the  form  of
additional shares will have a cost basis for federal income tax purposes in each
share  so  received  equal  to the net  asset  value of a share of a Fund on the
reinvestment date.

         To  calculate   ordinary   income  for  federal  income  tax  purposes,
shareholders  must  generally  include  dividends  paid  by the  Fund  from  its
investment  company  taxable  income (net  investment  income plus net  realized
short-term capital gains, if any). Since none of a Fund's income will consist of
corporate  dividends,  no  distributions  will  qualify  for the  70%  corporate
dividends received deduction.

        From  time to time,  each  Fund will  distribute  the  excess of its net
long-term capital gains over its short-term capital losses to shareholders.  For
federal  tax  purposes,   shareholders  must  include  such  distributions  when
calculating   their  long-term   capital  gains.   Each  Fund  will  inform  its
shareholders  of the portion if any of a  long-term  capital  gain  distribution
which is  subject  to tax at the  maximum  28% rate  and the  portion  if any of
long-term capital gain  distribution  which is subject to tax at the maximum 20%
rate.  Distributions  of  long-term  capital  gains  are  taxable  as  such to a
shareholder, no matter how long the shareholder has held the shares.

         All distributions, whether received in shares or cash, must be reported
by each  shareholder on his or her federal income tax return.  Each  shareholder
should consult his or her own tax advisor

24648

                                                        20

to determine the state and local tax implications of Fund distributions.

SPECIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FUND SHAREHOLDERS

         The  Fund  expects  that  substantially  all of its  dividends  will be
"exempt interest  dividends," which should be treated as excludable from federal
gross income.  In order to pay exempt  interest  dividends,  at least 50% of the
value of the Fund's assets must consist of federally  tax-exempt  obligations at
the close of each quarter.  An exempt interest  dividend is any dividend or part
thereof  (other than a capital gain  dividend)  paid by the Fund with respect to
its net federally  excludable municipal obligation interest and designated as an
exempt  interest  dividend in a written  notice mailed to each  shareholder  not
later than 60 days after the close of its taxable  year.  The  percentage of the
total dividends paid by the Fund with respect to any taxable year that qualifies
as exempt interest  dividends will be the same for all  shareholders of the Fund
receiving  dividends  with respect to such year.  If a  shareholder  receives an
exempt interest  dividend with respect to any share and such share has been held
for six months or less,  any loss on the sale or  exchange of such share will be
disallowed to the extent of the exempt interest dividend amount.

         Any  shareholder  of the  Fund  who may be a  "substantial  user"  of a
facility financed with an issue of tax-exempt  obligations or a "related person"
to such a user should consult a tax advisor concerning such user's qualification
to receive exempt interest dividends should the Fund hold obligations  financing
such facility.

         Under  regulations to be  promulgated,  to the extent  attributable  to
interest paid on certain  private  activity  bonds,  the Fund's exempt  interest
dividends, while otherwise tax-exempt,  will be treated as a tax preference item
for  alternative  minimum tax purposes.  Corporate  shareholders  should also be
aware that the  receipt  of exempt  interest  dividends  could  subject  them to
alternative  minimum  tax  under the  provisions  of  Section  56(g) of the Code
(relating to "adjusted current earnings").

         Under particularly unusual circumstances, such as when the Fund is in a
prolonged defensive investment  position,  it is possible that no portion of the
Fund's  distributions  of income to its  shareholders for a fiscal year would be
exempt from federal income tax. The Fund does not presently anticipate, however,
that such unusual circumstances will occur.

         The Fund intends to  distribute  its net capital gains as capital gains
dividends.  Shareholders should treat such dividends as long-term capital gains.
The Fund will designate capital gains  distributions as such by a written notice
mailed to each  shareholder  no later than 60 days after the close of the Fund's
taxable year.  If a  shareholder  receives a capital gain dividend and holds his
shares for six months or less,  then any allowable  loss on  disposition of such
shares will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of such capital
gain dividend.

         Interest on  indebtedness  incurred or  continued  by  shareholders  to
purchase or carry shares of a Fund will not be deductible for federal income tax
purposes to the extent of the portion of the interest expense relating to exempt
interest  dividends.  Such portion is determined by multiplying the total amount
of interest paid or accrued on the indebtedness by a fraction,  the numerator of
which is the exempt interest  dividends received by a shareholder in his taxable
year and the  denominator of which is the sum of the exempt  interest  dividends
and the taxable  distributions out of the Fund's investment income and long-term
capital gains received by the shareholder.

OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The foregoing  discussion relates solely to U.S. federal income tax law
as  applicable  to U.S.  persons  (i.e.,  U.S.  citizens and  residents and U.S.
domestic  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts and estates). It does not reflect
the  special tax  consequences  to certain  taxpayers  (e.g.,  banks,  insurance
companies,  tax exempt  organizations  and foreign  persons).  Shareholders  are
encouraged  to  consult  their own tax  advisors  regarding  specific  questions
relating to federal,  state and local tax consequences of investing in shares of
a Fund. Each  shareholder who is not a U.S. person should consult his or her tax
advisor  regarding the U.S. and foreign tax  consequences of ownership of shares
of a Fund, including the possibility that such a shareholder may be subject to a
U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or at a lower rate under a tax treaty) on
amounts treated as income from U.S. sources under the Code.

                                   PERFORMANCE

CURRENT, EFFECTIVE AND TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELDS

         Each Fund may quote a "current yield" or "effective yield" from time to
time. The current yield is an annualized  yield based on the actual total return
for a seven-day  period.  The effective yield is an annualized  yield based on a
compounding  of the  current  yield.  These  yields are each  computed  by first
determining the net change in account value for a hypothetical  account having a
share  balance of one share at the  beginning  of a seven-day  period  (shown as
"beginning account value" in the formula below),  excluding capital changes. The
net change in account value will generally  equal the total  dividends  declared
with respect to the account. The yields are then computed as follows:

         Current Yield = BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE X 365/7

         Effective Yield = [(1 + TOTAL DIVIDEND FOR 7 DAYS) 365/7]-1

         Yield  fluctuations  may  reflect  changes in a Fund's  net  investment
income. Portfolio changes resulting from net purchases or net redemptions of the
Fund's  shares may also affect the yield.  Accordingly,  a Fund's yield may vary
from  day  to  day.  The  yield  stated  for a  particular  past  period  is not
necessarily  representative  of its  future  yield.  Since  each  Fund  uses the
amortized cost method of net asset value computation, it does not anticipate any
change in yield resulting from  unrealized  gains or losses not reflected in the
yield  computation,  or change in net asset  value  during the  period  used for
computing yield. If any of these conditions should occur, yield quotations would
be  suspended.  A  Fund's  yield is not  guaranteed,  and the  principal  is not
insured.

         Yield  information  is useful in  reviewing a Fund's  performance,  but
because yields fluctuate, such information cannot necessarily be used to compare
an  investment  in a Fund's  shares with bank  deposits,  savings  accounts  and
similar  investment  alternatives  which often  provide an agreed or  guaranteed
fixed yield for a stated period of time. Shareholders should remember that yield
is a function of (1) the kind and quality of the  instruments a Fund holds,  (2)
portfolio maturity, (3) operating expenses and (4) market conditions.

         In periods of declining interest rates, yields will tend to be somewhat
higher than prevailing market rates. In periods of rising interest rates, yields
will tend to be somewhat  lower.  Also,  when  interest  rates are falling,  the
inflow of net new money to a Fund from the  continuous  sale of its shares  will
likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the
Fund's  investments,  thereby reducing the current yield of the Fund. In periods
of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

         For MUNICIPAL FUND, a  tax-equivalent  yield is calculated,  reflecting
the rate an investor would need to earn from a fully taxable investment to equal
the yield the Fund would provide after federal taxes.  The following  formula is
used:

         Tax-Equivalent Yield = EFFECTIVE YIELD
                                ----------------------------
                                1 - FEDERAL TAX RATE

         Below  are the  yields  of each  Fund for the  seven-day  period  ended
February 28, 1998. With respect to the tax-equivalent yield of MUNICIPAL FUND, a
federal tax rate of 36% is assumed.

                                   APPENDIX A

DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P")

         An S&P  corporate or municipal  bond rating is a current  assessment of
the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific  obligation.  This
assessment  of  creditworthiness  may take into  consideration  obligors such as
guarantors,  insurers or lessees.  The debt  rating is not a  recommendation  to
purchase, sell or hold a security,  inasmuch as it does not comment as to market
price or suitability for a particular investor.

         The ratings are based on current  information  furnished  to S&P by the
issuer or obtained by S&P from other sources it considers reliable. S&P does not
perform any audit in connection  with the ratings and may, on occasion,  rely on
unaudited  financial  information.  The  ratings may be  changed,  suspended  or
withdrawn as a result of changes in or unavailability  of such  information,  or
due to other circumstances.

         The  ratings  are  based,   in  varying   degrees,   on  the  following
considerations:

         1.  Likelihood of  default-capacity  and  willingness of the obligor to
         make  timely   payment  of  interest  and  repayment  of  principal  in
         accordance with the terms of the obligation.

         2. Nature of and provisions of the obligation.

         3. Protection  afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in
         the event of bankruptcy,  reorganization or their arrangement under the
         laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.

         AAA - This is the highest rating  assigned by S&P to a debt  obligation
and  indicates  an  extremely  strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay any
principal.

         AA - Debt rated AA also  qualifies as high  quality  debt  obligations.
Capacity to pay interest and repay  principal is very strong and in the majority
of instances it differs from AAA issues only in small degree.

         A - Debt  rated A has a  strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and  repay
principal  although it is somewhat more  susceptible  to the adverse  effects of
changes in  circumstances  and  economic  conditions  than debt in higher  rated
categories.

         BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate  capacity to pay
interest  and  repay  principal.   Whereas  it  normally   exhibits   protection
parameters,  adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal  for
debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

         BB, B, CCC, CC, C - Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C is  regarded,  on a
balance,  as predominantly  speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.

         BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation  and C the highest degree
of speculation.

                                                        A-1

<PAGE>



While such debt will likely have some  quality and  protective  characteristics,
these are outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.

         BB - Debt rated BB has less  near-term  vulnerability  to default  than
other  speculative  issues.  However,  it faces major ongoing  uncertainties  or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead
to inadequate  capacity to meet timely interest and principal  payments.  The BB
rating  category  is also  used for debt  subordinated  to  senior  debt that is
assigned an actual or implied BBB - rating.

         B - Debt rated B has greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the  capacity  to meet  interest  payments  and  principal  repayments.  Adverse
business,  financial,  or economic  conditions  will likely  impair  capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay  principal.  The B rating category is also
used for debt  subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied
BB or BB- rating.

         CCC - Debt  rated  CCC has a  currently  indefinable  vulnerability  to
default,  and is  dependent  upon  favorable  business,  financial  and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the
event of adverse business, financial or economic conditions, it is not likely to
have the capacity to pay interest and repay  principal.  The CCC rating category
is also used for debt  subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied B or B- rating.

         CC - The rating CC is typically  applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC rating.

         C - The rating C is typically  applied to debt  subordinated  to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt  rating.  The C rating may
be used to cover a situation  where a bankruptcy  petition  has been filed,  but
debt service payments are continued.

         C1 - The rating C1 is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.

         D - Debt  rated  D is in  payment  default.  It is used  when  interest
payments or principal payments are not made on a due date even if the applicable
grace period has not expired,  unless S&P believes  that such  payments  will be
made  during  such  grace  periods;  it will  also be used  upon a  filing  of a
bankruptcy petition if debt service payments are jeopardized.

         Plus (+) or Minus (-) - To provide more detailed  indications of credit
quality, the ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

         NR - indicates that no public rating has been requested,  that there is
insufficient  information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy. Debt obligations of issuers
outside  the U.S.  and its  territories  are rated on the same basis as domestic
corporate and municipal issues. The ratings measure the  creditworthiness of the
obligor  but  do  not  take  into   account   currency   exchange   and  related
uncertainties.

         Bond  Investment  Quality  Standards:  Under  present  commercial  bank
regulations  issued by the  Comptroller of the Currency,  bonds rated in the top
four  categories  (AAA,  AA, A and BBB,  commonly  known as  "Investment  Grade"
ratings) are generally  regarded as eligible for bank  investment.  In addition,
the Legal  Investment  Laws of various states may impose certain rating or other
standards  for  obligations  eligible for  investment  by savings  banks,  trust
companies, insurance companies and fiduciaries generally.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

         A brief description of the applicable  Moody's rating symbols and their
meanings follows:

         Aaa - Bonds  which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best  quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally  referred to
as  "gilt  edge."  Interest   payments  are  protected  by  a  large  or  by  an
exceptionally   stable  margin  and  principal  is  secure.  While  the  various
protective  elements are likely to change such changes as can be visualized  are
most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

         Aa - Bonds  which are rated Aa are judged to be of high  quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best bonds  because  margins of
protection  may  not  be as  large  as in  Aaa  securities  or  fluctuations  of
protective  elements may be of greater  amplitude or there may be other elements
present  which make the  long-term  risks  appear  somewhat  larger  than in Aaa
securities.

         A  -  Bonds  which  are  rated  A  possess  many  favorable  investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade  obligations.  Factors
giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate,  but elements
may be present which  suggest a  susceptibility  to  impairment  sometime in the
future.

         Baa -  Bonds  which  are  rated  Baa are  considered  as  medium  grade
obligations,  i.e.,  they are  neither  highly  protected  nor  poorly  secured.
Interest  payments and principal  security  appear  adequate for the present but
certain  protective  elements  may  be  lacking  or  may  be  characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Some bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics  and in fact have  speculative  characteristics  as well.  NOTE:
Bonds  within  the above  categories  which  possess  the  strongest  investment
attributes are designated by the symbol "1" following the rating.

         Ba - Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative  elements;
their future  cannot be  considered  as well  assured.  Often the  protection of
interest  and  principal  payments  may be very  moderate  and  thereby not well
safeguarded  during good and bad times over the future.  Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.

         B -  Bonds  which  are  rated B  generally  lack  characteristics  of a
desirable  investment.  Assurance  of  interest  and  principal  payments  or of
maintenance  of other terms of the contract  over any long period of time may be
small.

         Caa - Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor  standing.  Such issues may
be in  default  or there may be  present  elements  of danger  with  respect  to
principal or interest.

         Ca  -  Bonds  which  are  rated  Ca  represent  obligations  which  are
speculative  to a high  degree.  Such  issues are often in default or have other
marked shortcomings.

         C - Bonds  which are rated C are the  lowest  rated  class of bonds and
issues so rated can be  regarded  as having  extremely  poor  prospects  of ever
attaining any real investment standing.

         Duff & Phelps,  Inc.: AAA -- highest credit  quality,  with  negligible
risk factors;  AA -- high credit  quality,  with strong  protection  factors and
modest risk,  which may vary very slightly from time to time because of economic
conditions;  A -- average credit quality with adequate protection  factors,  but
with greater and more variable risk factors in periods of economic stress. The

indicators "+" and "-" to the AA and A categories indicate the relative position
of credit within those rating categories.

         Fitch IBCA, Inc.: AAA -- highest credit quality,  with an exceptionally
strong  ability to pay  interest  and repay  principal;  AA -- very high  credit
quality, with very strong ability to pay interest and repay principal; A -- high
credit quality,  considered strong as regards principal and interest protection,
but may be more  vulnerable  to  adverse  changes  in  economic  conditions  and
circumstances.  The  indicators  "+" and "-" to these  categories  indicate  the
relative position of credit within those rating categories.

DESCRIPTION OF MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS

         An S&P note rating  reflects the  liquidity  concerns and market access
risks  unique to notes.  Notes due in three years or less will likely  receive a
note  rating.  Notes  maturing  beyond  three years will most  likely  receive a
long-term  debt  rating.  The  following  criteria  will be used in making  that
assessment.

         o  Amortization  schedule  (the larger the final  maturity  relative to
other maturities the more likely it will be treated as a note).

         o Source of Payment (the more  dependent the issue is on the market for
its  refinancing,  the more  likely it will be treated as a note.)  Note  rating
symbols are as follows:

         o SP-1 Very strong or strong  capacity to pay  principal  and interest.
Those issues determined to possess  overwhelming safety  characteristics will be
given a plus (+) designation.

         o SP-2 Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

         o SP-3 Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

         Moody's  Short-Term  Loan  Ratings  -  Moody's  ratings  for  state and
municipal  short-term  obligations will be designated  Moody's  Investment Grade
(MIG). This distinction is in recognition of the differences  between short-term
credit risk and long-term risk.  Factors affecting the liquidity of the borrower
are uppermost in importance in short-term  borrowing,  while various  factors of
major importance in bond risk are of lesser importance over the short run.

         Rating symbols and their meanings follow:

         o MIG 1 - This  designation  denotes  best  quality.  There is  present
strong  protection by  established  cash flows,  superior  liquidity  support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

         o MIG 2 - This designation denotes high quality.  Margins of protection
are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

         o MIG 3 - This  designation  denotes  favorable  quality.  All security
elements are  accounted for but this is lacking the  undeniable  strength of the
preceding  grades.  Liquidity and cash flow  protection may be narrow and market
access for refinancing is likely to be less well established.

         o  MIG  4 -  This  designation  denotes  adequate  quality.  Protection
commonly regarded as required of an investment  security is present and although
not distinctly or predominantly

speculative, there is specific risk.

COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

         Moody's:  Commercial paper rated "Prime" carries the smallest degree of
investment risk. The modifiers 1, 2, and 3 are used to denote relative  strength
within this highest classification.

         S&P: "A" is the highest  commercial  paper rating category  utilized by
S&P, which uses the numbers 1+, 1, 2 and 3 to denote  relative  strength  within
its "A" classification.

         Duff & Phelps,  Inc.:  Duff 1 is the highest  commercial  paper  rating
category  utilized  by  Duff &  Phelps,  which  uses + or - to  denote  relative
strength within this classification.  Duff 2 represents good certainty of timely
payment,  with minimal risk factors. Duff 3 represents  satisfactory  protection
factors, with risk factors larger and subject to more variation.

         Fitch IBCA, Inc.: F-1+ -- denotes  exceptionally  strong credit quality
given to issues regarded as having the strongest  degree of assurance for timely
payment;  F-1 -- very strong,  with only a slightly less degree of assurance for
timely  payment than F-1+; F-2 -- good credit  quality,  carrying a satisfactory
degree of assurance for timely payment.
