         The purpose of the  foregoing  fee tables is to assist the  investor in
understanding  the various  costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will

more detail in this prospectus.  "Other Expenses" is based on estimated  amounts
for the current  fiscal year.  Management  fees are discussed in greater  detail

             INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT POLICIES

         The Buffalo Small Cap Fund seeks long-term  capital  growth.  Long-term
capital growth is intended to be achieved  primarily by the Fund's investment in
equity securities of small companies.  Equity  securities  include common stock,
preferred stock and securities convertible into common stock or preferred stock.

                                        3
<PAGE>

         The  Buffalo  Small Cap Fund will  normally  invest in a broad array of
securities,  diversified in terms of companies and industries.  The Fund invests
at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of small companies, during
normal market  conditions.  Small  companies  are  considered to be issuers with
individual  market  capitalizations  of up  to  $1  billion,  or  issuers  whose
individual  market  capitalizations  would place them at the time of purchase in
the  lowest  20% total  market  capitalization  of  companies  that have  equity
securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or traded in the NASDAQ
system.

         The Fund may purchase  foreign  securities  through  dollar-denominated
American  Depository  Receipts  (ADRs),  which do not  involve  the same  direct
currency and liquidity risks as securities  denominated in foreign  currency and
which are issued by domestic banks and publicly traded in the United States. The
Fund  does not  intend to invest  directly  in  foreign  securities  or  foreign
currencies.

         The Fund is  authorized  to write (i.e.,  sell) covered call options on
the  securities  in  which it may  invest  and to enter  into  closing  purchase
transactions  with respect to certain of such options.  A covered call option is
an option where the Fund in return for a premium  gives another party a right to
buy specified  securities owned by the Fund at a specified future date and price
set at the time of the contract.

         Covered call options  serve as a partial hedge against the price of the
underlying  security  declining.  (See "Risk Factors  Applicable to Covered Call
Options.")

         Investments  in  money  market  securities  shall  include   government
securities,  commercial  paper,  bank  certificates  of deposit  and  government
collateralized  repurchase  agreements.  Investment in commercial paper shall be
restricted to companies in the top two rating categories by Moody's and Standard
& Poor's.

         The Fund may also invest in issues of the United  States  Treasury or a
United States  government  agency subject to repurchase  agreements.  The use of
repurchase  agreements by the Fund involves  certain risks.  For a discussion of
these risks, see "Risk Factors Applicable to Repurchase Agreements."

         There is no assurance that the Fund's  objective of long-term growth of
capital can be achieved. Portfolio turnover will be no more than is necessary to
meet the Fund's objective.  Under normal  circumstances,  it is anticipated that
portfolio  turnover for common  stocks in the Fund's  portfolio  will not exceed
approximately  100% on an annual basis,  and that  portfolio  turnover for other
securities will not exceed 100% on an annual basis.

                              REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

         A repurchase agreement involves the sale of securities to the Fund with
the  concurrent  agreement by the seller to  repurchase  the  securities  at the
Fund's  cost plus  interest  at an agreed rate upon demand or within a specified
time, thereby  determining the yield during the purchaser's period of ownership.
The result is a fixed rate of return insulated from market  fluctuations  during
such period. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, repurchase agreements are
considered loans by the Fund.

                                        4
<PAGE>

         The Fund will enter into such  repurchase  agreements  only with United
States  banks  having  assets in excess of $1 billion  which are  members of the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation,  and with certain securities dealers who
meet the  qualifications  set from time to time by the Board of Directors of the
Fund. The term to maturity of a repurchase  agreement normally will be no longer
than a few days.  Repurchase  agreements  maturing  in more than  seven days and
other illiquid securities will not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Fund.

                                  RISK FACTORS

                Risk Factors Applicable To Repurchase Agreements

         The use of repurchase  agreements  involves certain risks. For example,
if the seller of the agreement  defaults on its  obligation  to  repurchase  the
underlying securities at a time when the value of these securities has declined,
the Fund may incur a loss when the  securities  are sold.  If the  seller of the
agreement becomes  insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization  under
the Bankruptcy Code or other laws,  disposition of the underlying securities may
be delayed pending court proceedings.  Finally, it is possible that the Fund may
not be able to substantiate its interest in the underlying securities. While the
Fund's  management  acknowledges  these risks,  it is expected  that they can be
controlled  through stringent security selection criteria and careful monitoring
procedures.

                 Risk Factors Applicable to Covered Call Options

         The Fund may engage in covered  call option  transactions  as described
herein.  Up to 25% of the Fund's  total  assets  may be subject to covered  call
options.  By writing  covered call options,  the Fund gives up the  opportunity,
while  the  option  is in  effect,  to profit  from any  price  increase  in the
underlying  security above the option exercise  price.  In addition,  the Fund's
ability to sell the  underlying  security will be limited while the option is in
effect  unless  the Fund  effects  a  closing  purchase  transaction.  A closing
purchase  transaction cancels out the Fund's position as the writer of an option
by  means  of an  offsetting  purchase  of an  identical  option  prior  to  the
expiration of the option it has written.

         Upon the  termination  of the Fund's  obligation  under a covered  call
option  other than  through  exercise  of the  option,  the Fund will  realize a
short-term capital gain or loss. Any gain realized by the Fund from the exercise
of an option will be short- or  long-term  depending on the period for which the
stock was held.  The writing of covered call options  creates a straddle that is
potentially  subject  to the  straddle  rules,  which may  override  some of the
foregoing rules and result in a deferral of some losses for tax purposes.

                         Risk Factors Applicable to ADRs

         Up to 25% of the Fund's  total  assets may be  invested  in ADRs.  ADRs
(sponsored or unsponsored) are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust
company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities. Most ADRs are
traded  on  a  U.S.  stock  exchange.   Issuers  of  unsponsored  ADRs  are  not
contractually  obligated  to  disclose  material  information  in the U.S.  and,
therefore,  there may not be a  correlation  between  such  information  and the
market value of the unsponsored ADR.

                    Risk Factors Applicable to Common Stocks

         The Fund is subject to market  risk and fund risk.  Market  risk is the
possibility that stock prices in general will decline over shorter even extended
periods of time.  Stock  markets  tend to be  cyclical,  with periods when stock
prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Fund risk
is the possibility  that a fund's  performance  during a specific period may not
meet or exceed that of the stock market as a whole.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

         In addition  to the  policies  set forth under the caption  "Investment
Objective and  Portfolio  Management  Policies,"  the Fund is subject to certain
other  restrictions  which may not be changed without approval of the lesser of:
(1) at least 67% of the voting securities present at a shareholder's  meeting if
the  holders  of more  than 50% of the  outstanding  securities  of the Fund are
present or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding  voting
securities of the Fund.  Among these  restrictions,  the more important ones are
that the Fund will not purchase the  securities of any issuer if more than 5% of
the Fund's total assets would be invested in the  securities of such issuer,  or
the Fund would hold more than 10% of any class of securities of such issuer; the
Fund will not make any loan (the purchase of a security  subject to a repurchase
agreement or the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly  distributed debt
securities is not considered the making of a loan); and the Fund will not borrow
or pledge its credit under normal  circumstances,  except up to 10% of its gross
assets  (computed  at the lower of fair market  value or cost) for  temporary or
emergency purposes,  and not for the purpose of leveraging its investments;  and
provided  further that any  borrowing in excess of 5% of the total assets of the
Fund  shall  have  asset  coverage  of at least 3 to 1.  The  Fund  will not buy
securities while borrowings are outstanding. The full text of these restrictions
are set forth in the "Statement of Additional Information."

                              PERFORMANCE MEASURES

         From time to time,  the Fund may advertise its  performance  in various
ways, as summarized below.  Further  discussion of these matters also appears in
the "Statement of Additional  Information." A discussion of Fund  performance is
included in the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders which is available from the
Fund upon request at no charge.

                                  Total Return

         The Fund may  advertise  "average  annual  total  return"  over various
periods of time. Such total return figures show the average percentage change in
value of an  investment  in the Fund from the  beginning  date of the  measuring
period to the end of the measuring period.  These figures reflect changes in the
price of the Fund's shares and assume that any income  dividends  and/or capital
gains distributions made by the Fund during the period were reinvested in shares
of the Fund.  Figures will be given for recent one-,  five- and ten-year periods
(if  applicable),  and may be given  for  other  periods  as well  (such as from
commencement  of  the  Fund's  operations,  or on a  year-by-year  basis).  When
considering  "average" total return figures for periods longer than one year, it
is important  to note that a Fund's  annual total return for any one year in the
period might have been greater or less than the average for the entire period.

                             Performance Comparisons

         In advertisements  or in reports to shareholders,  the Fund may compare
its performance to that of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives
and to stock  or  other  relevant  indices.  For  example,  it may  compare  its
performance to rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper), a
widely recognized  independent  service which monitors the performance of mutual
funds.  The Fund may compare its  performance to the Standard & Poor's 600 Small
Cap Index (S&P  600),  an index of  unmanaged  groups of common  stocks,  or the
Consumer Price Index.  Performance  information,  rankings,  ratings,  published
editorial comments and listings as reported in national  financial  publications
such as Kiplinger's  Personal  Finance  Magazine,  Business  Week,  Morningstar,
Investor's  Business  Daily,  Institutional  Investor,  The Wall Street Journal,
Mutual Fund Forecaster,  No Load Investor,  Money, Forbes,  Fortune and Barron's
may also be used in comparing performance of the Fund.  Performance  comparisons
should not be  considered as  representative  of the future  performance  of the
Fund. Further information  regarding the performance of the Fund is contained in
the "Statement of Additional Information."

                             HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

         Shares are purchased at net asset value (no sales charge) from the Fund
through its agent,  Jones & Babson,  Inc., BMA Tower,  700 Karnes Blvd.,  Kansas
City,   MO   64108.   For   information   call   toll   free    1-800-49-BUFFALO

broker.  The  Fund  will  not be  responsible  for the  consequences  of  delays
including delays in the banking or Federal Reserve wire systems.

         You do not pay a sales  commission  when you buy  shares  of the  Fund.
Shares  are  purchased  at the  Fund's net asset  value  (price)  per share next
effective  after a purchase order and payment have been received by the Fund. In
the  case  of  certain   institutions  which  have  made  satisfactory   payment
arrangements  with the Fund,  orders may be processed at the net asset value per
share next effective after a purchase order has been received by the Fund.

         The Fund  reserves the right in its sole  discretion to withdraw all or
any part of the offering made by this  prospectus or to reject  purchase  orders
when, in the judgment of management, such withdrawal or rejection is in the best
interest of the Fund and its  shareholders.  The Fund also reserves the right at
any time to waive or increase the minimum requirements  applicable to initial or
subsequent  investments  with  respect to any person or class of persons,  which
include shareholders

                                        7
<PAGE>

of the Fund's special investment programs. The Fund reserves the right to refuse
to accept  orders  for shares  unless  accompanied  by  payment,  except  when a
responsible  person has indemnified  the Fund against losses  resulting from the
failure of investors to make payment. In the event that the Fund sustains a loss
as the result of failure by a purchaser to make payment, the Fund's underwriter,
Jones & Babson, Inc. will cover the loss.

                          TELEPHONE INVESTMENT SERVICE

         To use the Telephone  Investment Service, you must first establish your
Fund  account  and  authorize  telephone  orders in the  application  form,  or,
subsequently,  on a special  authorization  form provided  upon request.  If you
elect  the  Telephone  Investment  Service,  you may  purchase  Fund  shares  by
telephone and authorize the Fund to draft your checking  account for the cost of
the shares so  purchased.  You will receive the next  available  price after the
Fund has received your  telephone  call.  Availability  and  continuance of this
privilege  is  subject  to   acceptance   and  approval  by  the  Fund  and  all
participating  banks. During periods of increased market activity,  you may have
difficulty reaching the Fund by telephone,  in which case you should contact the
Fund by mail or telegraph. The Fund will not be responsible for the consequences
of delays including delays in the banking or Federal Reserve wire systems.

         The Fund will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine,  and if such procedures are not followed,
the  Fund  may  be  liable  for  losses  due  to   unauthorized   or  fraudulent
instructions.  Such  procedures  may  include,  but are not limited to requiring
personal identification prior to acting upon instructions received by telephone,
providing written  confirmations of such transactions,  and/or tape recording of
telephone instructions.

         The Fund  reserves  the right to initiate a charge for this service and
to  terminate or modify any or all of the  privileges  in  connection  with this
service  at any  time  upon 15  days  written  notice  to  shareholders,  and to
terminate or modify the  privileges  without  prior notice in any  circumstances
where such  termination or  modification is in the best interest of the Fund and
its investors.

                        AUTOMATIC MONTHLY INVESTMENT PLAN

         You may elect to make monthly  investments in a constant  dollar amount
from your  checking  account ($100  minimum).  The Fund will draft your checking
account  on the  same  day  each  month  in the  amount  you  authorize  in your
application,  or,  subsequently,  on a special  authorization form provided upon
request. Availability and continuance of this privilege is subject to acceptance
and approval by the Fund and all participating banks. If the date selected falls
on a day upon which the Fund shares are not priced,  investment  will be made on
the first date thereafter  upon which Fund shares are priced.  The Fund will not
be responsible for the consequences of delays including delays in the banking or
Federal Reserve wire systems.

         The Fund  reserves  the right to initiate a charge for this service and
to  terminate or modify any or all of the  privileges  in  connection  with this
service at any time upon 15 days written notice

                                        9
<PAGE>

to shareholders,  and to terminate or modify the privileges without prior notice
in any  circumstances  where such  termination  or  modification  is in the best
interest of the Fund and its investors.

                              HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

         The Fund will  redeem  shares at the price (net asset  value per share)
next computed  after receipt of a redemption  request in "good order." (See "How
Share Price is Determined.")

         A written  request for  redemption,  together  with an  endorsed  share
certificate where a certificate has been issued, must be received by the Fund in
order  to  constitute  a valid  tender  for  redemption.  For  authorization  of
redemptions by a  corporation,  it will also be necessary to have an appropriate
certified copy of resolutions on file with the Fund before a redemption  request
will be considered in "good  order." In the case of certain  institutions  which
have made satisfactory  redemption arrangements with the Fund, redemption orders
may be processed by facsimile or telephone  transmission  at net asset value per
share next effective  after receipt by the Fund. If an investor wishes to engage
the services of any other broker to redeem (or  purchase)  shares of the Fund, a
fee may be charged by such broker.

         To be in "good order" the request must include the following:

         (1)      A written redemption request or stock assignment (stock power)
                  containing  the genuine  signature  of each  registered  owner
                  exactly   as   the   shares   are   registered,   with   clear
                  identification  of the account number and the number of shares
                  or the dollar amount to be redeemed;

         (2)      any outstanding stock certificates representing shares to be 
                  redeemed;

         (3)      signature guarantees as required (See Signature Guarantees); 
                  and

         (4)      any additional documentation which the Fund may deem necessary
                  to insure a genuine redemption.

         Where  additional   documentation  is  normally   required  to  support
redemptions  as in the case of  corporations,  fiduciaries,  and others who hold
shares in a  representative  or nominee  capacity  such as  certified  copies of
corporate   resolutions,   or   certificates   of  incumbency,   or  such  other
documentation  as may be  required  under the Uniform  Commercial  Code or other
applicable laws or regulations,  it is the  responsibility of the shareholder to
maintain such  documentation on file and in a current status. A failure to do so
will  delay  the  redemption.   If  you  have  questions  concerning  redemption
requirements,  please write or telephone  the Fund well ahead of an  anticipated
redemption in order to avoid any possible delay.

         Requests  which are subject to special  conditions  or which specify an
effective date other than as provided herein cannot be accepted.  All redemption
requests must be transmitted to the Fund at BMA Tower, 700 Karnes Blvd.,  Kansas
City, Missouri 64108.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         The Fund will  endeavor to transmit  redemption  proceeds to the proper
party, as instructed, as soon as practicable after a redemption request has been
received in "good  order" and  accepted,  but in no event later than the seventh
day thereafter or earlier if required by applicable law.  Transmissions are made
by mail unless an  expedited  method has been  authorized  and  specified in the
redemption  request.  The Fund will not be responsible  for the  consequences of
delays including delays in the banking or Federal Reserve wire systems.

         Redemptions  will not become  effective until all documents in the form
required have been received.  In the case of redemption  requests made within 30
days of the date of purchase, the Fund will delay transmission of proceeds until
such time as it is certain that unconditional  payment in federal funds has been
collected for the purchase of shares being redeemed.  This normally will take up
to 15 days;  however,  under unusual  circumstances this may take up to 30 days.
The Fund  reserves  the right to delay  payment  for the  balance  of the 30-day
period beginning on the date of purchase as circumstances require.  Requests for
redemption  which occur  within 30 days after the  purchase of the shares  being
redeemed will be subject to this verification.  You can avoid the possibility of
delay by paying for all your purchases with a transfer of federal funds.

         Signature Guarantees are required in connection with all redemptions by
mail, or changes in share registration,  except as hereinafter  provided.  These
requirements  may be waived by the Fund in  certain  instances  where it appears
reasonable  to do  so  and  will  not  unduly  affect  the  interests  of  other
shareholders.   Signature(s)  must  be  guaranteed  by  an  "eligible  Guarantor
institution" as defined under Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.  Eligible  guarantor  institutions  include:  (1) national or state banks,
savings associations,  savings and loan associations,  trust companies,  savings
banks,  industrial  loan  companies and credit unions;  (2) national  securities
exchanges,  registered  securities  associations and clearing  agencies;  or (3)
securities broker/dealers which are members of a national securities exchange or
clearing  agency or which have a minimum  net capital of  $100,000.  A notarized
signature will not be sufficient for the request to be in proper form.

         Signature  guarantees will be waived for mail redemptions of $10,000 or
less, but they will be required if the checks are to be payable to someone other
than the registered  owner(s),  or are to be mailed to an address different from
the  registered  address of the  shareholder(s),  or where there appears to be a
pattern  of  redemptions   designed  to  circumvent   the  signature   guarantee
requirement, or where the Fund has other reason to believe that this requirement
would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

         The  right  of  redemption  may be  suspended  or the  date of  payment
postponed beyond the normal seven-day period when the New York Stock Exchange is
closed or under  emergency  circumstances  as determined by the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Further, the Fund reserves the right to redeem its shares
in kind  under  certain  circumstances.  If shares  are  redeemed  in kind,  the
shareholder may incur  brokerage  costs when  converting  into cash.  Additional
details are set forth in the "Statement of Additional Information."

         Due to the high  cost of  maintaining  smaller  accounts,  the Board of
Directors has  authorized  the Fund to close  shareholder  accounts  where their
value falls below the current minimum initial investment requirement at the time
of initial purchase as a result of redemptions and not as the result

                                       11
<PAGE>

of market  action,  and  remains  below  this  level for 60 days after each such
shareholder account is mailed a notice of: (1) the Fund's intention to close the
account, (2) the minimum account size requirement, and (3) the date on which the
account will be closed if the minimum size requirement is not met.

                           SYSTEMATIC REDEMPTION PLAN

         If you own shares in an open  account  valued at  $10,000 or more,  and
desire to make regular  monthly or quarterly  withdrawals  without the necessity
and  inconvenience of executing a separate  redemption  request to initiate each
withdrawal,  you may enter into a Systematic Withdrawal Plan by completing forms
obtainable from the Fund. For this service, the manager may charge you a fee not
to  exceed  $1.50  for  each  withdrawal.  Currently  the  manager  assumes  the
additional  expenses arising out of this type of plan, but it reserves the right
to initiate  such a charge at any time in the future when it deems it necessary.
If such a charge is imposed, participants will be provided 30 days notice.

         Subject to a $50  minimum,  you may  withdraw  each  period a specified
dollar amount.  Shares also may be redeemed at a rate  calculated to exhaust the
account at the end of a specified period time.

         Dividends  and  capital  gains  distributions  must  be  reinvested  in
additional  shares.  Under all  withdrawal  programs,  liquidation  of shares in
excess of dividends and  distributions  reinvested will diminish and may exhaust
your account, particularly during a period of declining share values.

         You may  revoke or change  your  plan or redeem  all of your  remaining
shares at any time.  Withdrawal  payments will be continued until the shares are
exhausted or until the Fund or you terminate  the plan by written  notice to the
other.

                      HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES BETWEEN FUNDS

         Shareholders  may exchange  their Fund shares,  which have been held in
open account for 15 days or more,  and for which good payment has been received,
for  identically  registered  shares of any Fund in the  Buffalo or Babson  Fund
Group  which is legally  registered  for sale in the state of  residence  of the
investor,  except Babson Enterprise Fund, Inc., provided that the minimum amount
exchanged  has a value  of  $1,000  or more and  meets  the  minimum  investment
requirement of the Fund or Portfolio into which it is exchanged.

         Effective at the close of business on January 31, 1992,  the  Directors
of the Babson  Enterprise  Fund,  Inc. took action to limit the offering of that
Fund's  shares.  Babson  Enterprise  Fund  will  not  accept  any new  accounts,
including IRAs and other retirement plans, until further notice, nor will Babson
Enterprise Fund accept  transfers from  shareholders of other Babson Funds,  who
were not  shareholders  of  record  of  Babson  Enterprise  Fund at the close of
business on January 31, 1992.

         To authorize the Telephone/Telegraph Exchange Privilege, all registered
owners must sign the  appropriate  section on the original  application,  or the
Fund must receive a special  authorization form,  provided upon request.  During
periods of increased market activity, you may have difficulty

                                       12

<PAGE>

reaching  the Fund by  telephone,  in which case you should  contact the Fund by
mail or  telegraph.  The Fund  reserves  the right to initiate a charge for this
service and to terminate or modify any or all of the  privileges  in  connection
with this service at any time and without prior notice under any  circumstances,
where  continuance of these  privileges  would be detrimental to the Fund or its
shareholders,  such as an  emergency,  or  where  the  volume  of such  activity
threatens  the  ability  of the Fund to  conduct  business,  or under  any other
circumstances, upon 60 days written notice to shareholders. The Fund will not be
responsible for the  consequences of delays  including  delays in the banking or
Federal Reserve wire systems.

         The Fund will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine,  and if such procedures are not followed,
the  Fund  may  be  liable  for  losses  due  to   unauthorized   or  fraudulent
instructions.  Such  procedures  may  include,  but are not limited to requiring
personal identification prior to acting upon instructions received by telephone,
providing written  confirmations of such transactions,  and/or tape recording of
telephone instructions.

         Exchanges by mail may be  accomplished  by a written  request  properly
signed by all registered owners identifying the account, the number of shares or
dollar amount to be redeemed for  exchange,  and the Buffalo or Babson Fund into
which the account is being transferred.

         If you  wish to  exchange  part or all of your  shares  in the Fund for
shares of a Fund in the  Buffalo or Babson  Fund  Group,  you should  review the
prospectus  of the Fund to be  purchased,  which can be  obtained  from  Jones &
Babson,  Inc. Any such exchange will be based on the respective net asset values
of the shares  involved.  Any  exchange  between  Funds  involves the sale of an
asset. Unless the shareholder account is tax-deferred, this is a taxable event.

                          HOW SHARE PRICE IS DETERMINED

         In order to determine the price at which new shares will be sold and at
which issued shares  presented for redemption will be liquidated,  the net asset
value per share of the Fund is computed once daily,  Monday through  Friday,  at
the  specific  time  during  the day that the Board of  Directors  sets at least
annually,  except on days on which changes in the value of portfolio  securities
will not materially affect the net asset value, or days during which no security
is tendered  for  redemption  and no order to purchase or sell such  security is
received by the Fund, or customary  holidays.  For a list of the holidays during
which the Fund is not open for business,  see "How Share Price is Determined" in
the "Statement of Additional Information."

         The  price at which  new  shares  of the Fund will be sold and at which
issued shares presented for redemption will be liquidated is computed once daily
at 4:00 P.M. (Eastern Time),  except on those days when the Fund is not open for
business.

         The per share  calculation is made by subtracting from the Fund's total
assets any liabilities and then dividing into this amount the total  outstanding
shares as of the date of the calculation. Each security listed on an exchange is
valued at its last sale price on that  exchange  on the date as of which  assets
are valued.  Where the  security is listed on more than one  exchange,  the Fund
will use the  price of that  exchange  which it  generally  considers  to be the
principal exchange on which the stock is traded.  Lacking sales, the security is
valued at the mean between the current closing bid and


                                       13
<PAGE>

asked prices. An unlisted security for which over-the-counter  market quotations
are readily  available  is valued at the mean  between the last  current bid and
asked prices. When market quotations are not readily available,  any security or
other asset is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors.

                             OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

         The officers of the Fund manage its day-to-day  operations.  The Fund's
manager and officers are subject to the  supervision and control of the Board of
Directors.  A list  of the  officers  and  directors  of the  Fund  and a  brief
statement of their present positions and principal  occupations  during the past
five years is set forth in the "Statement of Additional Information."

                        MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT COUNSEL

         Jones & Babson, Inc. was founded in 1960. It organized the Fund in 1997
and acts as its  manager  and  principal  underwriter.  Pursuant  to the current
Management  Agreement,  Jones & Babson,  Inc.  provides  or pays the cost of all
management,  supervisory  and  administrative  services  required  in the normal
operation of the Fund. This includes investment management and supervision; fees
of the  custodian,  independent  auditors  and legal  counsel;  remuneration  of
officers,  directors and other personnel; rent; shareholder services,  including
the maintenance of the shareholder  accounting  system and transfer agency;  and
such other items as are incidental to corporate administration.

         Not considered normal operating expenses,  and therefore payable by the
Fund,  are taxes,  interest,  fees and other  charges of  governments  and their
agencies,  including  the cost of  qualifying  the Fund's shares for sale in any
jurisdiction,  brokerage costs,  dues, and all extraordinary  costs and expenses
including but not limited to legal and accounting  fees incurred in anticipation
of or arising out of litigation or administrative proceedings to which the Fund,
its officers or directors may be subject or a party thereto.

         As a part of the Management Agreement,  Jones & Babson, Inc. employs at
its own expense Kornitzer Capital Management,  Inc. as its investment counsel to
assist in the  investment  advisory  function  for the Fund.  Kornitzer  Capital
Management,  Inc. is an independent  investment counseling firm founded in 1989.
It serves a broad  variety  of  individual,  corporate  and other  institutional
clients by maintaining an extensive  research and  analytical  staff.  It has an
experienced investment analysis and research staff which eliminates the need for
Jones & Babson, Inc. and the Fund to maintain an extensive duplicate staff, with
the consequent increase in the cost of investment advisory service.  The cost of
the services of  Kornitzer  Capital  Management,  Inc. is included in the fee of
Jones & Babson,  Inc.  The  Management  Agreement  limits the  liability  of the
manager and its investment  counsel,  as well as their  officers,  directors and
personnel, to acts or omissions involving willful malfeasance,  bad faith, gross
negligence,   or  reckless   disregard  of  their  duties.   The  organizational
arrangements of Kornitzer Capital  Management,  Inc. require that all investment
decisions  be made by  committee,  and no person is  primarily  responsible  for
making recommendations to that committee.

         As compensation for all the foregoing  services,  the Fund pays Jones &
Babson,  Inc. a fee at the annual rate of one percent (1%) of average  daily net
assets from which Jones & Babson, Inc.


                                       14
<PAGE>

pays Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. a fee of 50/100 of one percent (.50%) of
the average daily total net assets.

         The annual fee charged by Jones & Babson,  Inc. is higher than the fees
of most other investment  advisers whose charges cover only investment  advisory
services with all remaining  operational expenses absorbed directly by the Fund.
Yet, it compares  favorably  with these other advisers when all expenses to Fund
shareholders are taken into account.

         Certain  officers  and  directors  of the  Fund are  also  officers  or
directors  or both of other  Buffalo  Funds,  Jones & Babson,  Inc. or Kornitzer
Capital Management, Inc.

         Jones & Babson,  Inc. is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Business  Men's
Assurance  Company of America which is  considered  to be a  controlling  person
under the Investment  Company Act of 1940.  Assicurazioni  Generali  S.p.A.,  an
insurance  organization founded in 1831 based in Trieste, Italy is considered to
be a controlling  person and is the ultimate  parent of Business Men's Assurance
Company of America. Mediobanca is a 5% owner of Generali.

         Kornitzer  Capital  Management,  Inc. is a closely held corporation and
has  limitations in the ownership of its stock  designed to maintain  control in
those  who are  active  in  management.  Those  who own 5% or more of  Kornitzer
Capital  Management,  Inc. are John C.  Kornitzer,  Kent W. Gasaway,  Willard R.
Lynch, Thomas W. Laming and Susan Stack.

         The current  Management  Agreement between the Fund and Jones & Babson,
Inc., which includes the Investment  Counsel  Agreement  between Jones & Babson,
Inc.  and  Kornitzer  Capital  Management,  Inc.  will  continue in effect until
October 31, 1999.  The  Agreements  will continue  automatically  for successive
annual  periods  ending  each  October  31  so  long  as  such   continuance  is
specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Fund or
by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and,
provided also that such continuance is approved by the vote of a majority of the
directors who are not parties to the  Agreements  or  interested  persons of any
such party at a meeting held in person and called  specifically  for the purpose
of evaluating and voting on such approval.  Both Agreements  provide that either
party may terminate by giving the other 60 days written  notice.  The Agreements
terminate automatically if assigned by either party.

                         GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

         The Fund was incorporated in Maryland on  [__________,]  1997. The Fund
has a present  authorized  capitalization  of 10,000,000  shares of $1 par value
common stock.  All shares are of the same class with like rights and privileges.
Each full and  fractional  share,  when issued and  outstanding,  has: (1) equal
voting  rights  with  respect to matters  which  affect the Fund;  and (2) equal
dividend,  distribution and redemption  rights to the assets of the Fund. Shares
when issued are fully paid and non-assessable.  The Fund may create other series
of stock but will not  issue any  senior  securities.  Shareholders  do not have
preemptive or conversion rights.

         Non-cumulative voting - These shares have non-cumulative voting rights,
which  means  that the  holders  of more than 50% of the  shares  voting for the
election of directors can elect 100% of


                                       15
<PAGE>

the  directors,  if they choose to do so, and in such event,  the holders of the
remaining  less  than 50% of the  shares  voting  will not be able to elect  any
directors.

         The Maryland  General  Corporation  Law permits  registered  investment
companies,   such  as  the  Fund,  to  operate  without  an  annual  meeting  of
shareholders under specified  circumstances if an annual meeting is not required
by the  Investment  Company  Act of  1940.  There  are  procedures  whereby  the
shareholders  may  remove  directors.  These  procedures  are  described  in the
"Statement  of  Additional   Information"   under  the  caption   "Officers  and
Directors."  The Fund has adopted the  appropriate  provisions in its By-Laws so
that it may choose to not hold annual meetings of shareholders for the following
purposes  unless  required to do so: (1) election of directors;  (2) approval of
any  investment  advisory  agreement;  (3)  ratification  of  the  selection  of
independent auditors; and (4) approval of a distribution plan.

         The Fund may use the name  "Buffalo"  in its name so long as  Kornitzer
Capital  Management,  Inc. is  continued  as its  investment  counsel.  Complete
details  with  respect  to the use of the  name  are  set out in the  Management
Agreement between the Fund and Jones & Babson, Inc.

         This  prospectus  omits  certain of the  information  contained  in the
registration  statement  filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,
Washington,  D.C.  These items may be inspected at the offices of the Commission
or obtained from the Commission upon payment of the fee prescribed.

                   DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND THEIR TAXATION

         The Fund pays dividends  from net  investment  income and capital gains
realized on the sale of securities,  if any, semi-annually,  usually in June and
December.   Dividend  and  capital  gains   distributions   will  be  reinvested
automatically  in  additional  shares  at the net asset  value  per  share  next
computed and effective after the record date, unless the shareholder has elected
on the original application,  or by written instructions filed with the Fund, to
have them paid in cash.

         On August 5,  1997,  President  Clinton  signed  into law the  Taxpayer
Relief Act of 1997 (the "1997 Act").  This new law makes sweeping changes to the
Internal  Revenue  Code.  Because many of these  changes are  complex,  and only
indirectly  affect the Fund and its  distributions to you, they are discussed in
the  Statement of  Additional  Information.  Changes in the treatment of capital
gains, however, are discussed in this section.

         The Fund  intends to qualify for  taxation as a  "regulated  investment
company"  under  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code ("Code") so that the
Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes
its income to its shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal
income tax, or to any excise tax, to the extent its earnings are  distributed as
provided in the Code and by satisfying  certain other  requirements  relating to
the sources of its income and diversification of its assets.  Dividends,  either
in cash or reinvested  in shares,  paid by the Fund from net  investment  income
will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income,  and will generally  qualify
in part for the 70% dividends-received  deduction for corporations.  The portion
of the  dividends  so  qualified  depends on the  aggregate  taxable  qualifying
dividend income received by


                                       16
<PAGE>

the Fund from domestic  (U.S.)  sources.  The Fund will send to  shareholders  a
statement each year advising the amount of the dividend  income which  qualifies
for such treatment.

         Dividends  from net investment  income or net short-term  gains will be
taxable to those  investors who are subject to income taxes as ordinary  income,
whether  received  in  cash or in  additional  shares.  Whether  paid in cash or
additional  shares of the Fund, and regardless of the length of time Fund shares
have been owned by the shareholder,  distributions  from long-term capital gains
are  taxable  to   shareholders   as  such,   but  are  not   eligible  for  the
dividends-received deduction for corporations.  The Fund does not try to realize
any particular amount of capital gains during a year; rather, realized gains are
a  by-product  of  Fund  management  activities.   Consequently,  capital  gains
distributions  may be expected to vary considerably from year to year. Also, for
those  investors  subject  to tax,  if  purchases  of  shares in a Fund are made
shortly  before a record date for a dividend or capital  gains  distribution,  a
portion of the investment will be returned as a taxable  distribution.  The 1997
Act creates a category of long-term  capital gain for individual  taxpayers that
will be taxed at new lower tax rates. For investors who are in the 28% or higher
federal income tax brackets,  these gains will be taxed at a maximum of 10%. For
investors  who are in the 15% federal  income tax  bracket,  these gains will be
taxed at a maximum of 10%. Capital gain distributions will qualify for these new
maximum tax rates,  depending  on when the Fund's  securities  were sold and how
long they were held by the Fund before they were sold.  Investors  who want more
information on holding periods and other  qualifying rules relating to these new
rates should review the expanded  discussion in the SAI, or should contact their
personal  tax  advisors.  The Fund will  advise  you in its  annual  information
reporting at calendar year end of the amount of its capital gains  distributions
which  will  qualify  for these  maximum  federal  tax rates.  Shareholders  are
notified  annually  by the  Fund as to  federal  tax  status  of  dividends  and
distributions  paid by the Fund.  Such dividends and  distributions  may also be
subject to state and local taxes.

         Exchange and  redemption of Fund shares are taxable  events for federal
income tax  purposes.  Shareholders  may also be subject to state and  municipal
taxes on such exchanges and redemptions. Any loss incurred on a sale of exchange
of Fund  shares  held for six  months or less  will be  treated  as a  long-term
capital loss to the extent of capital gain  dividends  received  with respect to
such shares.  You should consult your tax adviser with respect to the tax status
of distributions from the Fund in your state and locality.

         The Fund  intends  to  declare  and pay  dividends  and  capital  gains
distributions so as to avoid imposition of the federal excise tax. To do so, the
Fund expects to distribute during each calendar year an amount equal to: (1) 98%
of its calendar  year ordinary  income;  (2) 98% of its capital gains net income
(the  excess of short- and  long-term  capital  gain over  short- and  long-term
capital  loss) for the one-year  period  ending each October 31; and (3) 100% of
any  undistributed  ordinary or capital gain net income from the prior  calendar
year.  Dividends  declared in October,  November or December and made payable to
shareholders  of record in such a month are deemed to have been paid by the Fund
and  received  by  shareholders  on  December  31 of such  year,  so long as the
dividends are actually paid before February 1 of the following year.


                                       17

<PAGE>

         To comply with IRS  regulation,  the Fund is required by federal law to
withhold 31% of reportable payments (which may include dividends,  capital gains
distributions,  and redemptions) paid to shareholders who have not complied with
IRS regulations.  In order to avoid this withholding  requirement,  shareholders
must certify on their  Application,  or on a separate form supplied by the Fund,
that their Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number provided is correct
and that they are not currently subject to backup withholding,  or that they are
exempt from backup withholding.

         The federal income tax status of all distributions  will be reported to
shareholders  each  January as a part of the  annual  statement  of  shareholder
transactions.  Shareholders  not  subject  to tax on  their  income  will not be
required to pay tax on amounts distributed to them.

         THE TAX  DISCUSSION  SET FORTH  ABOVE IS  INCLUDED  HEREIN FOR  GENERAL
INFORMATION  ONLY.  PROSPECTIVE  INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS
WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND.

                              SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

         The Fund and its manager offer shareholders a broad variety of services
described  throughout this prospectus.  In addition,  the following services are
available:

         Automatic   Monthly   Investment  -  You  may  elect  to  make  monthly
investments  in a  constant  dollar  amount  from your  checking  account  ($100
minimum).  The Fund will draft your checking  account on the same day each month
in the amount you authorize in your application, or, subsequently,  on a special
authorization form provided upon request.

         Automatic  Reinvestment - Dividends and capital gains distributions may
be reinvested automatically, or shareholders may elect to have dividends paid in
cash and capital gains reinvested, or to have both paid in cash.

         Telephone  Investments - You may make  investments of $1,000 or more by
telephone if you have  authorized  such  investments  in your  application,  or,
subsequently,  on a  special  authorization  form  provided  upon  request.  See
"Telephone Investment Service."

         Automatic  Exchange - You may exchange  shares from your account  ($100
minimum) in any of the Buffalo Funds to an identically registered account in any
other  fund in the  Buffalo  or Babson  Group  according  to your  instructions.
Monthly  exchanges  will be  continued  until all shares have been  exchanged or
until  you   terminate   the  Automatic   Exchange   authorization.   A  special
authorization form will be provided upon request.

         Transfer of Ownership - A  shareholder  may transfer  shares to another
shareholder  account.  The  requirements  which  apply to  redemptions  apply to
transfers.   A  transfer  to  a  new  account  must  meet   initial   investment
requirements.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         Systematic  Redemption  Plan -  Shareholders  who  own  shares  in open
account  valued at  $10,000  or more may  arrange  to make  regular  withdrawals
without the  necessity  of executing a separate  redemption  request to initiate
each withdrawal.

         Sub-Accounting - Keogh and corporate tax qualified retirement plans, as
well  as  certain  other  investors  who  must  maintain  separate   participant
accounting records, may meet these needs through services provided by the Fund's
manager, Jones & Babson, Inc. Investment minimums may be met by accumulating the
separate  accounts of the group.  Although there is currently no charge for sub-
accounting,  the Fund  and its  manager  reserve  the  right to make  reasonable
charges for this service.

         Prototype  Retirement  Plans - Jones &  Babson,  Inc.  offers a defined
contribution  prototype plan - The Universal Retirement Plan - which is suitable
for all who are  self-employed,  including sole proprietors,  partnerships,  and
corporations.  The Universal  Prototype includes both money purchase pension and
profit-sharing plan options.

         Individual  Retirement  Accounts  -  Also  available  is an  Individual
Retirement  Account (IRA).  The IRA uses the IRS model form of plan and provides
an excellent  way to accumulate a retirement  fund which will earn  tax-deferred
dollars  until  withdrawn.  An IRA may  also be used to defer  taxes on  certain
distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans. You may contribute up to
$2,000 of compensation each year ($4,000 if a spousal IRA is established),  some
or all of which may be  deductible.  Consult  your tax  adviser  concerning  the
amount of the tax deduction, if any.

         Simplified  Employee  Pensions  (SEPs) - The Jones & Babson  IRA may be
used with IRS Form 5305 - SEP to establish a SEP-IRA, to which the self-employed
individual may  contribute up to 15% of net earned income or $30,000,  whichever
is less.  A SEP-IRA  offers the  employer  the ability to make the same level of
deductible   contributions  as  a  Profit-Sharing  Plan  with  greater  ease  of
administration, but less flexibility in plan coverage of employees.

                              SHAREHOLDER INQUIRIES

         Telephone inquiries may be made toll free to the Fund, 1-800-49-BUFFALO

                        INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

         The following policies  supplement the Fund's investment  objective and
policies set forth in the Prospectus.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         Decisions to buy and sell  securities  for the Fund are made by Jones &
Babson, Inc. pursuant to recommendations by Kornitzer Capital  Management,  Inc.
Officers of the Fund and Jones & Babson,  Inc.  are  generally  responsible  for
implementing or supervising these decisions,  including  allocation of portfolio
brokerage and principal  business and the negotiation of commissions  and/or the
price of the  securities.  In  instances  where  securities  are  purchased on a
commission basis, the Fund will seek competitive and reasonable commission rates
based on  circumstances of the trade involved and to the extent that they do not
detract from the quality of the execution.

         The Fund, in purchasing and selling portfolio securities, will seek the
best  available  combination of execution and overall price (which shall include
the cost of the transaction)  consistent with the  circumstances  which exist at
the  time.  The  Fund  does  not  intend  to  solicit  competitive  bids on each
transaction.

         The  Fund  believes  it is  in  its  best  interest  and  that  of  its
shareholders to have a stable and continuous  relationship  with a diverse group
of financially strong and technically qualified  broker-dealers who will provide
quality   executions  at  competitive   rates.   Broker-dealers   meeting  these
qualifications also will be selected for their demonstrated loyalty to the Fund,
when  acting  on its  behalf,  as well as for any  research  or  other  services
provided  to the  Fund.  The Fund  may  execute  a  substantial  portion  of its
portfolio transactions through brokerage firms which are members of the New York
Stock  Exchange  or  through  other  major  securities  exchanges.  When  buying
securities  in the  over-the-counter  market,  the Fund will select a broker who
maintains  a primary  market for the  security  unless it appears  that a better
combination of price and execution may be obtained elsewhere.  The Fund normally
will not pay a higher  commission rate to broker-dealers  providing  benefits or
services  to it than it would pay to  broker-dealers  who do not provide it such
benefits or services.  However,  the Fund reserves the right to do so within the
principles set out in Section 28(e) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 when
it appears that this would be in the best interests of the shareholders.

         No commitment is made to any broker or dealer with regard to placing of
orders for the purchase or sale of Fund  portfolio  securities,  and no specific
formula is used in placing such  business.  Allocation is reviewed  regularly by
both the Board of Directors of the Fund and Jones & Babson, Inc.

         Since the Fund does not market its shares through  intermediary brokers
or dealers,  it is not the Fund's  practice to allocate  brokerage  or principal
business  on the basis of sales of its  shares  which may be made  through  such
firms. However, it may place portfolio orders with qualified  broker-dealers who
recommend the Fund to other clients,  or who act as agent in the purchase of the
Fund's shares for their clients.

                                        2
<PAGE>

         Research services furnished by broker-dealers may be useful to the Fund
manager and its  investment  counsel in serving  other  clients,  as well as the
Fund.  Conversely,  the Fund may benefit from research  services obtained by the
manager or its investment  counsel from the placement of portfolio  brokerage of
other clients.

         When it appears to be in the best  interests of its  shareholders,  the
Fund may join with other  clients of the manager and its  investment  counsel in
acquiring or disposing of a portfolio holding.  Securities  acquired or proceeds
obtained  will be  equitably  distributed  between  the Fund and  other  clients
participating in the transaction.  In some instances,  this investment procedure
may affect the price paid or  received  by the Fund or the size of the  position
obtained by the Fund.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

         In  addition  to the  investment  objective  and  portfolio  management
policies set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Investment Objective and
Portfolio Management Policy," the following restrictions also may not be changed
without approval of the "holders of a majority of the outstanding shares" of the
Fund.  The Fund  will  not:  (1) as to 75% of its  total  assets,  purchase  the
securities  of  any  one  issuer,  except  the  United  States  government,   if
immediately after and as a result of such purchase (a) the value of the holdings
of the Fund in the  securities  of such  issuer  exceeds  5% of the value of the
Fund's  total  assets,  or (b) the Fund owns  more  than 10% of the  outstanding
voting securities,  or any other class of securities, of such issuer; (2) engage
in the  purchase  or sale of real  estate or  commodities;  (3)  underwrite  the
securities  of other  issuers;  (4) make loans to other  persons,  except by the
purchase of debt obligations  which are permitted under its policy (the purchase
of a security subject to a repurchase  agreement or the purchase of a portion of
an issue of publicly distributed debt securities is not considered the making of
a loan); (5) purchase  securities on margin,  or sell securities  short,  except
that the Fund may write  covered call  options;  (6) borrow or pledge its credit
under normal  circumstances,  except up to 10% of its gross assets  (computed at
the lower of fair market value or cost) for temporary or emergency purposes, and
not for the purpose of leveraging its investments, and provided further that any
borrowing  in excess of 5% of the total  assets  of the Fund  shall  have  asset
coverage of at least 3 to 1; or (7)  purchase any  securities  which would cause
more than 25% of the value of a Portfolio's total net assets at the time of such
purchase to be invested in any one industry.

         The following are  "non-fundamental"  restrictions which can be changed
by the Board of Directors of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund may
not:  (1)  invest  in  companies  for  the  purpose  of  exercising  control  of
management;  (2)  purchase  shares  of  other  investment  companies  except  as
permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time
or pursuant to a plan of merger or  consolidation  or similar  transaction;  (3)
invest in the  aggregate  more  than 5% of the value of its gross  assets in the
securities  of  issuers  (other  than  federal,  state,  territorial,  or  local
governments,  or  corporations,  or  authorities  established  thereby),  which,
including   predecessors,   have  not  had  at  least  three  years'  continuous
operations;  or (4) except for  transactions  in its shares or other  securities
through brokerage  practices which are considered normal and generally  accepted
under circumstances  existing at the time, enter into dealings with its officers
or directors, its manager or underwriter,  or their officers or directors or any
organizations in which such persons have a financial interest.

                              PERFORMANCE MEASURES

TOTAL RETURN

         The Fund's  "average  annual  total  return"  figures  will be computed
according to a formula prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
formula can be expressed as follows:

         P(1+T)n           =        ERV

         Where P           =        a hypothetical initial payment of $1000

               T           =        average annual total return

               n           =        number of years

              ERV          =        Ending  Redeemable Value of a hypothetical
                                    $1000  payment made at the  beginning of the
                                    1, 5 or 10 year (or  other)  periods  at the
                                    end  of  the  1,  5 or 10  year  (or  other)
                                    periods (or fractional portions thereof).

                      HOW THE FUND'S SHARES ARE DISTRIBUTED

         Jones & Babson,  Inc., as agent of the Fund,  agrees to supply its best
efforts as sole  distributor  of the Fund's shares and, at its own expense,  pay
all sales and distribution expenses in connection with their offering other than
registration fees and other government charges.

         Jones & Babson,  Inc.  does not receive  any fee or other  compensation
under the  distribution  agreement  which  continues in effect until October 31,
1998, and which will continue automatically for successive annual periods ending
each October 31 if continued at least annually by the Fund's Board of Directors,
including a majority of those  Directors who are not parties to such  Agreements
or interested persons of any such party. It terminates automatically if assigned
by either party or upon 60 days written notice by either party to the other.

         Jones & Babson,  Inc. also acts as sole  distributor  of the shares for
David L. Babson Growth Fund,  Inc.,  D.L.  Babson Bond Trust,  D.L. Babson Money
Market Fund,  Inc., D.L. Babson Tax- Free Income Fund, Inc.,  Babson  Enterprise

                         HOW SHARE PURCHASES ARE HANDLED

         Each order  accepted  will be fully  invested  in whole and  fractional
shares, unless the purchase of a certain number of whole shares is specified, at
the net asset value per share next effective  after the order is accepted by the
Fund.

         Each investment is confirmed by a year-to-date statement which provides
the details of the immediate  transaction,  plus all prior  transactions in your
account during the current year. This includes the dollar amount  invested,  the
number of shares  purchased or redeemed,  the price per share, and the aggregate
shares owned.  A transcript of all activity in your account  during the previous
year will be furnished  each January.  By retaining  each annual summary and the
last  year-to-date  statement,  you have a  complete  detailed  history  of your
account which  provides  necessary tax  information.  A duplicate copy of a past
annual statement is available from Jones & Babson,  Inc. at its cost, subject to
a minimum charge of $5 per account, per year requested.

         Normally,  the shares  which you  purchase are held by the Fund in open
account,  thereby  relieving  you of the  responsibility  of  providing  for the
safekeeping of a negotiable  share  certificate.  Should you have a special need
for a  certificate,  one will be issued on  request  for all or a portion of the
whole  shares  in your  account.  There is no charge  for the first  certificate
issued. A charge of $3.50 will be made for any replacement  certificates issued.
In order to protect the interests of the other shareholders,  share certificates
will be sent to those  shareholders  who  request  them only  after the Fund has
determined  that  unconditional  payment  for  the  shares  represented  by  the
certificate has been received by its custodian, UMB Bank, n.a.

         If an order to purchase shares must be canceled due to non-payment, the
purchaser will be  responsible  for any loss incurred by the Fund arising out of
such  cancellation.  To recover any such loss,  the Fund  reserves  the right to
redeem shares owned by any purchaser whose order is canceled, and such purchaser
may be prohibited or restricted in the manner of placing further orders.

         The Fund reserves the rights in its sole  discretion to withdraw all or
any part of the offering  made by the  prospectus or to reject  purchase  orders
when, in the judgment of management, such withdrawal or rejection is in the best
interest of the Fund and its  shareholders.  The Fund also reserves the right at
any time to waive or increase the minimum requirements  applicable to initial or
subsequent  investments  with  respect to any person or class of persons,  which
include shareholders of the Fund's special investment programs.

                              REDEMPTION OF SHARES

         The  right of  redemption  may be  suspended,  or the  date of  payment
postponed  beyond the normal  seven-day  period by the Fund's Board of Directors
under the following conditions authorized by the Investment Company Act of 1940:
(1) for any period (a) during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other
than customary  weekend and holiday closing,  or (b) during which trading on the
New York  Stock  Exchange  is  restricted;  (2) for any period  during  which an
emergency  exists as a result of which (a)  disposal  by the Fund of  securities
owned  by it is  not  reasonably  practicable,  or  (b)  it  is  not  reasonably
practicable for the Fund to determine the fair value of its net assets; or (3)

                                        5
<PAGE>

for such other periods as the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission may by order
permit for the protection of the Fund's shareholders.

         The Fund may satisfy  redemption  requests by  distributing  securities
in-kind.  The method of valuing securities used to make redemptions in kind will
be the same as the method of valuing portfolio  securities  described under "How
Share Price is Determined" in the Prospectus, and such valuation will be made as
of the same time the redemption price is determined.

                             DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Distributions  of Net Investment  Income--The  Fund receives income generally in
the  form  of  dividends,  interest,  original  issue,  market  and  acquisition
discount,  and other income  derived  from its  investments.  This income,  less
expenses  incurred in the operation of the Fund,  constitute  its net investment
income from which  dividends may be paid to you. Any  distributions  by the Fund
from such  income  will be taxable to you,  whether  you take them in cash or in
additional shares.

Distributions of Capital  Gains--The Fund may derive capital gains and losses in
connection  with  sales  or  other  dispositions  of its  portfolio  securities.
Distributions  derived from the excess of net short-term  capital gains over net
long-term   capital   losses  will  be  taxable  to  you  as  ordinary   income.
Distributions  paid from  long-term  capital gains  realized by the Fund will be
taxable to you as long-term  capital gain,  regardless of how long you have held
your shares in the Fund. Any net short-term or long-term  capital gains realized
by the Fund (net of any capital loss  carryovers)  will generally be distributed
once each year, and may be distributed more frequently,  if necessary,  in order
to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Fund.

Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (the "1997 Act"),  the Fund is required to
track  its  sales  of  portfolio  securities  and to  report  its  capital  gain
distributions to you according to the following categories of holding periods:

"28 percent  rate gains":  securities  sold by the Fund after July 28, 1997 that
were  held for more  than one year  but not more  than 18  months,  and  under a
transitional  rule securities sold by the Fund before May 7, 1997 that were held
for more than 12 months.  These gains will be taxable to individual investors at
a maximum rate of 28%.

"1997 Act  long-term  capital  gains" (or "20 percent rate gains") :  securities
sold by the Fund after July 28, 1997 that were held for more than 18 months, and
under a transitional  rule  securities  sold by the Fund between May 7, 1997 and
July 28,  1997  that  were held for more than 12  months.  These  gains  will be
taxable to  individual  investors at a maximum rate of 20% for  investors in the
28% or higher federal income tax rate brackets, and at a maximum rate of 10% for
investors in the 15% federal income tax rate bracket.

"Qualified  5-year  gains":  For  individuals in the 15% federal income tax rate
bracket,  qualified 5- year gains are net gains on securities held for more than
5 years which are sold after December 31, 2000. For  individuals who are subject
to tax at higher federal income tax rate  brackets,  qualified  5-year gains are
net gains on securities which are purchased after December 31, 2000 and are held
for more than 5 years. Taxpayers subject to tax at the higher federal income tax
rate brackets may

                                        6
<PAGE>

also make an election  for shares held on January 1, 2001 to  recognize  gain on
their shares in order to qualify such shares as qualified 5-year property. These
gains will be  taxable  to  individual  investors  at a maximum  rate of 18% for
investors in the 28% or higher  federal  income tax  brackets,  and at a maximum
rate of 8% for investors in the 15% federal income tax rate bracket.

The Fund will advise you in its annual  information  reporting at calendar  year
end of the amount of its capital gain distributions which will qualify for these
maximum  federal tax rates for each calendar  year.  Questions  concerning  each
investor's personal tax reporting should be addressed to the investor's personal
tax advisor.

Election to be Taxed as a Regulated Investment  Company--The Fund has elected to
be treated as a regulated  investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code  ("Code"),  has  qualified as such for its most recent fiscal year,
and intends to so qualify during the current fiscal year. The Directors  reserve
the  right  not to  maintain  the  qualification  of  the  Fund  as a  regulated
investment  company if they  determine such course of action to be beneficial to
you.  In such  case,  the Fund will be subject to  federal  and  possibly  state
corporate taxes on its taxable income and gains,  and  distributions to you will
be taxed as  ordinary  dividend  income to the  extent of the  Fund's  available
earnings and profits.

In order to qualify as a regulated  investment  company  for federal  income tax
purposes, the Fund must meet certain specific requirements, including:

(i) The Fund must maintain a  diversified  portfolio of  securities,  wherein no
security  (other  than  U.S.  Government  securities  and  securities  of  other
regulated investment  companies) can exceed 25% of the Fund's total assets, and,
with respect to 50% of the Fund's total assets,  no investment  (other than cash
and cash items,  U.S.  Government  securities and securities of other  regulated
investment companies) can exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets;

(ii) The Fund  must  derive at least 90% of its  gross  income  from  dividends,
interest,  payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or
disposition  of stock or  securities  or  foreign  currencies,  or other  income
derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities,  or
currencies;

(iii)  The Fund  must  distribute  to its  shareholders  at least 90% of its net
investment income and net tax-exempt income for each of its fiscal years; and

(iv) The Fund must  realize  less than 30% of its gross  income for each  fiscal
year from gains from the sale of  securities  and certain other assets that have
been held by the Fund for less than three  months  ("short-short  income").  The
Taxpayer  Relief Act of 1997  repealed the 30%  short-short  income test for tax
years of regulated investment companies beginning after August 5, 1997; however,
this rule may have continuing  effect in some states for purposes of classifying
the Fund as a regulated investment company.

Excise Tax Distribution  Requirements--The  Code requires the Fund to distribute
at least 98% of its taxable  ordinary income earned during the calendar year and
98% of its capital gain net income  earned during the twelve month period ending
October 31 (in addition to amounts from the prior year

                                        7
<PAGE>

that were  neither  distributed  nor taxed to the Fund) to you by December 31 of
each year in order to avoid federal  excise taxes.  The Fund intends as a matter
of policy to declare and pay sufficient  dividends in December or January (which
are treated by you as received in December)  but does not guarantee and can give
no assurances  that its  distributions  will be sufficient to eliminate all such
taxes.

Dividends-Received  Deduction  for  Corporations--Because  the Fund's  income is
derived primarily from dividends,  a portion of its distributions will generally
be  eligible   for  the   intercorporate   dividends-received   deduction.   The
dividends-received  deduction  will be available  only with respect to dividends
designated by the Fund as eligible for such  treatment.  Dividends so designated
by the Fund  must be  attributable  to  dividends  earned  by the Fund from U.S.
corporations which are not debt-financed.  A holding period requirement  applies
both at the Fund level and the corporate  shareholder level. Under the 1997 Act,
the amount that the Fund may  designate as eligible  for the  dividends-received
deduction  will be reduced or  eliminated  if the shares on which the  dividends
earned by the Fund are  debt-financed or held by the Fund for less than a 46-day
period during a 90- day period beginning 45 days before the ex-dividend date and
ending 45 days after the ex-dividend  date.  Similarly,  if your Fund shares are
debt-financed  or held by you for  less  than a  46-day  period  during a 90-day
period  beginning 45 days before the  ex-dividend  date and ending 45 days after
the ex-dividend date, then the dividend-received deduction for fund dividends on
your shares may also be reduced or  eliminated.  Even if designated as dividends
eligible for the dividend  received  deduction,  all  dividends  (including  any
deducted  portion) must be included in your  alternative  minimum taxable income
calculation.

                              SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

         Signature guarantees normally reduce the possibility of forgery and are
required in connection with each redemption method to protect  shareholders from
loss.  Signature  guarantees are required in connection  with all redemptions by
mail or changes in share registration, except as provided in the Prospectus.

         Signature  guarantees must appear together with the signature(s) of the
registered owner(s), on:

         (1)      a written request for redemption.

         (2)      a separate instrument of assignment,  which should specify the
                  total number of shares to be redeemed  (this "stock power" may
                  be  obtained  from  the  Fund  or from  most  banks  or  stock
                  brokers), or

         (3)      all stock certificates tendered for redemption.

                        MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT COUNSEL

         As a part of the Management Agreement,  Jones & Babson, Inc. employs at
its own expense Kornitzer Capital  Management,  Inc., as its investment counsel.
Kornitzer  Capital  Management,  Inc.,  was  founded  in 1989.  It is a  private
investment research and counseling  organization  serving individual,  corporate
and other institutional clients.

         The aggregate  management fee to be paid to Jones & Babson, Inc. by the
Fund  during the  current  fiscal  year is 1%. The annual fee charged by Jones &
Babson, Inc. covers all normal operating costs of the Fund.

         Kornitzer  Capital  Management,  Inc.,  has an  experienced  investment
analysis and research staff which  eliminates the need for Jones & Babson,  Inc.
and the Fund to maintain  an  extensive  duplicate  staff,  with the  consequent
increase in the cost of investment advisory service. The cost of the services of
Kornitzer  Capital  Management,  Inc., is included in the fee of Jones & Babson,
Inc.

                          HOW SHARE PRICE IS DETERMINED

         The net asst value per share of the Fund  portfolio  is  computed  once
daily, Monday through Friday,  except on days on which changes in the value of a
Fund's portfolio  securities will not materially  affect the net asset value, or
days  during  which no  security  is  tendered  for  redemption  and no order to
purchase  or sell  such  security  is  received  by the Fund,  or the  following
holidays:


New Year's Day                      January 1

         The Fund  will not hold  annual  meetings  except  as  required  by the

corporation.  Under Maryland law, a special  meeting of stockholders of the Fund
must be held if the Fund  receives  the written  request for a meeting  from the
stockholders  entitled to cast at least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast
at the meeting.  To the extent required under Maryland law, the Fund will assist
shareholder communications in such matters.

         The Fund's assets are held for safekeeping by an independent custodian,
UMB Bank, n.a. This means the bank,  rather than the Fund, has possession of the
Fund's cash and securities. The custodian bank is not responsible for the Fund's
investment  management  or  administration.  But,  as  directed  by  the  Fund's
officers,  it  delivers  cash to those who have sold  securities  to the Fund in
return for such securities, and to those who have purchased portfolio securities
from the Fund,  it delivers  such  securities  in return for their cash purchase
price. It also collects income directly from issuers of securities  owned by the
Fund and holds this for payment to  shareholders  after  deduction of the Fund's
expenses. The custodian is compensated for its services by the manager. There is
no charge to the Fund.

                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

         The Fund's  financial  statements  are audited  annually by independent
auditors  approved by the directors  each year,  and in years in which an annual
meeting is held the directors may submit their selection of independent auditors
to the shareholders for ratification.  Ernst & Young LLP, One Kansas City Place,
1200 Main Street, Suite 2000, Kansas City, Missouri 64105, is the Fund's present
independent auditors.

         Reports to shareholders will be published at least semiannually.

funds described below in association with Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc.

         Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc. was organized in 1994 with the objective of
long-term  capital growth and high current  income  through  investing in common
stocks and secondarily by investing in convertible  bonds,  preferred stocks and
convertible preferred stocks.

         Buffalo High Yield Fund,  Inc. was organized in 1994 with the objective
of a high level of current income and  secondarily,  capital growth by investing
primarily in high-yielding fixed income securities.

         Buffalo USA Global Fund,  Inc. was organized in 1994 with the objective
of capital  growth by investing in common stocks of U.S.  companies that receive
greater  than  40% of  their  revenues  or  pre-tax  income  from  international

         Buffalo  Equity Fund,  Inc. was organized in 1994 with the objective of

dividend income is a secondary  consideration  to the extent that it supplements
the return on the Fund's  investments  and investment in the  dividend-producing
securities  is  consistent  with  achieving  the Fund's  objective  of long-term
capital appreciation.

                     DESCRIPTION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

         Moody's.  Moody's  commercial paper rating is an opinion of the ability
of an issuer to repay punctually  promissory  obligations not having an original
maturity in excess of nine  months.  Moody's has one rating - prime.  Every such
prime rating  means  Moody's  believes  that the  commercial  paper note will be
redeemed  as agreed.  Within  this  single  rating  category  are the  following
classifications:

                  Prime - 1  Highest Quality
                  Prime - 2  Higher Quality
                  Prime - 3  High Quality

         The criteria used by Moody's for rating a commercial paper issuer under
this graded system include, but are not limited to the following factors:

         (1)      evaluation of the management of the issuer;

         (2)      economic evaluation of the issuer's industry or industries and
                  an appraisal of  speculative  type risks which may be inherent
                  in certain areas;

         (3)      evaluation of the issuer's products in relation to competition
                  and customer acceptance;

         (4)      liquidity;

         (5)      amount and quality of long-term debt;

         (6)      trend of earnings over a period of ten years;



                                       14
<PAGE>

         (7)      financial strength of a parent company and relationships which
                  exist with the issuer; and

         (8)      recognition  by the  management  of  obligations  which may be
                  present or may arise as a result of public interest  questions
                  and preparations to meet such obligations.

         S&P. Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating is a current  assessment
of the likelihood of timely repayment of debt having an original  maturity of no
more than 270 days.  Ratings are graded into four  categories,  ranging from "A"
for the highest quality  obligations to "D" for the lowest.  The four categories
are as follows:

"A" Issues  assigned  this  highest  rating are  regarded as having the greatest
capacity for timely  payment.  Issues in this category are further  refined with
the designations 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the relative degree of safety.

"A-1" This  designation  indicates  that the degree of safety  regarding  timely
payment is very strong.

"A-2"  Capacity for timely  payment on issues with this  designation  is strong.
However, the relative degree of safety is not as overwhelming.

"A-3" Issues carrying this designation  have a satisfactory  capacity for timely
payment.  They are, however,  somewhat more vulnerable to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.

"B" Issues rated "B" are regarded as having only an adequate capacity for timely
payment.  Furthermore,  such  capacity may be damaged by changing  conditions or
short-term adversities.

"C" This rating is  assigned  to  short-term  debt  obligations  with a doubtful
capacity for payment.

"D" This rating indicates that the issuer is either in default or is expected to
be in default upon maturity.

                                       OF

                          BUFFALO SMALL CAP FUND, INC.

         FIRST: I, the undersigned,  John G. Dyer, whose Post-office  address is
L-36 Route 1, Lake Lotawana, Missouri, 64086, being at least twenty-one years of
age,  do,  under  and by  virtue of the  general  laws of the state of  Maryland
authorizing the formation of corporations, associate myself as Incorporator with
the intention of forming a corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation").

         SECOND: The name of the Corporation is BUFFALO SMALL CAP FUND, INC.

         THIRD:  The purpose for which the Corporation is formed is to act as an
open-end, diversified management investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and to exercise and enjoy all of the powers, rights and
privileges granted to, or conferred upon, corporations of a similar character by
the general laws of the state of Maryland now or hereafter in force.

         FOURTH:  The  Post-Office  address  of  the  principal  office  of  the
Corporation in this state is C/O the Corporation  Trust  incorporated,  32 South

Corporation in this state is the Corporation Trust  Incorporated,  a corporation
of this state,  and the  Post-office  address of the Resident  Agent is 32 South
Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 21202.

         FIFTH:  The total  number of shares of all  classes of stock  which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is 10,000,000 shares of a par value of
one dollar  ($1.00) per share and an  aggregate  par value of  $10,000,000.  The
number of the shares of stock of each class is such number, if any, of shares of
unissued  stock  as is  classified  or  reclassified  into  such  class  by  the
Corporation's  Board of Directors pursuant to the authority contained in Section
2-105 of the Maryland  General  Corporation  Law as filed by the  Corporation as
Articles  Supplementary  under Section 2-208 of the Maryland General Corporation
Law (or any  successor  provisions).  The Board of Directors of the  Corporation
shall have the power to classify or reclassify  unissued shares into one or more
classes which together with the issued shares of stock of the corporation  shall
have such designations as the board may determine and (subject to any applicable
rule,  regulation or order of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission or other
applicable law or regulation) shall have such  preferences,  conversion or other
rights,   voting   powers,   restrictions,    limitations   as   to   dividends,
qualifications,  terms and conditions of redemption and other characteristics as
the Board may  determine (or in the absence of contrary  determination,  such as
set  forth  herein)  . At any time  when  there  are no  shares  outstanding  or
subscribed for a particular class  previously  established and designated by the
Board of


<PAGE>



Directors,  the  class  may be  liquidated  by  similar  means.  If the Board so
determines,  one or more classes of stock may be treated for all purposes  other
than  dividends as if all shares of such  classes were shares of one class.  The
dividends  payable to the holders of any class (subject to any applicable  rule,
regulation  or order of the  securities  and  Exchange  Commission  or any other
applicable law or  regulation)  shall be determined by the Board and need not be
individually declared, but may be declared and paid in accordance with a formula
adopted by the Board.  Each share of a class  shall have equal  rights with each
other share of that class of stock with respect to the assets of the Corporation
pertaining to that class.  Any fractional  shares of capital stock issued by the
corporation shall have proportionately, all the rights of full shares. Except as
otherwise  provided herein, all references in these articles of incorporation to
capital stock or class of stock shall apply without discrimination to the shares
of each class of stock.

                  (A) The  holders  of each  share of  stock of the  Corporation
shall be  entitled to one vote for each full share,  and a  fractional  vote for
each fractional  share of stock,  irrespective of the class then standing in his
or her name in the books of the  Corporation.  On any matter submitted to a vote
of  shareholders,  all shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote, irrespective of the class, shall be voted in the aggregate and
not by class,  except (1) when  otherwise  expressly  provided  by the  Maryland
General  Corporation  Law or (2) when required by the Investment  Company Act of
1940, as amended,  shares shall be voted by individual  class;  and (3) when the
matter  does  not  affect  any  interest  of  a  particular   class,  then  only
shareholders of the affected class or classes shall be entitled to vote thereon.

                  (B) Each  class of stock  of the  Corporation  shall  have the
following powers, preferences and participating, voting, or other special rights
and the  qualifications,  restrictions,  and  limitations  thereof  shall  be as
follows:

                           (1)     All consideration received by the Corporation
for the  issue  or sale of  stock  of each  class,  together  with  all  income,
earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the
sale,  exchange or liquidation  thereof,  and any funds or payments derived from
any  reinvestment  of such  proceeds  in  whatever  form the same may be,  shall
irrevocably  belong to the class of shares of stock  with  respect to which such
assets,  payments or funds were  received by the  Corporation  for all purposes,
subject only to the rights of creditors,  and shall be so handled upon the books
of account of the  Corporation.  Such  assets,  income,  earnings,  profits  and
proceeds  thereof,  including  any proceeds  derived from the sale,  exchange or
liquidation  thereof  and any  assets  derived  from  any  reinvestment  of such
proceeds, in

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

whatever form the same may be, are herein  referred to as "assets  belonging to"
such class.

               (2) The Board of Directors  may from time to time declare and pay
dividends or distributions, in stock or in cash, on any or all classes of stock,
the  amount  of such  dividends  and the  payment  of them  being  wholly in the
discretion of the Board of Directors.

                    (I)  Dividends  or  distributions  on shares of any class of
stock shall be paid only out of earnings,  surplus,  or other lawfully available
assets belonging to such class.

                    (II) Inasmuch as one goal of the  corporation  is to qualify
as a "regulated  investment company" under the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as
amended,  or  any  successor  or  Comparable  statute  thereto  and  regulations
promulgated thereunder;  and inasmuch as the computation of not income and gains
for federal  income tax  purposes may vary from the  computation  thereof on the
books of the  corporation,  the Board of  Directors  shall have the power in its
discretion to distribute in any fiscal year as dividends,  including  designated
in whole or in part as capital gain distributions,  amounts  sufficient,  in the
opinion of the Board of  Directors,  to enable the  Corporation  to qualify as a
regulated  investment  company and to avoid  liability for the  Corporation  for
federal income tax in respect of that year.

               (3) In  the  event  of  the  liquidation  or  dissolution  of the
corporation,  shareholders  of each class shall be  entitled  to  receive,  as a
class,  out of the  assets of the  Corporation  available  for  distribution  to
shareholders,  but other than general  assets not  belonging  to any  particular
class  of  stock,  the  assets  belonging  to  such  class;  and the  assets  so
distributable to the  shareholders of any class shall be distributed  among such
shareholders  in  proportion  to the number of shares of such class held by them
and  recorded on the books of the  Corporation.  In the event that there are any
general asset,% not belonging to any particular class of stock and available for
distribution,  such  distribution  shall be made to the  holders of stock of all
classes in proportion to the asset value of the respective classes determined as
hereinafter provided.

               (4) The assets  belonging  to any class of stock shall be charged
with the  liabilities  in respect to such class,  and shall also be charged with
its share of the general  liabilities of the  Corporation,  in proportion to the
asset value of the respective  classes  determined as  hereinafter  set out. The
determination  of the Board of Directors shall be conclusive as to the amount of
liabilities,  including  accrued expenses and reserves,  as to the allocation of
the same as to a given class,  and as to whether the same  or-general  assets of
the Corporation are allocable to one or more classes.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

                    (C) Each  holder of any  class of stock of the  Corporation,
who shall  surrender his certificate in good delivery form to the Corporation or
who,  if the shares in  question  are not  represented  by  certificates,  shall
deliver  to the  Corporation  a  written  request  in good  order  signed by the
shareholder,  shall be entitled to require the  Corporation,  to the extent that
the class of stock in question has assets lawfully available therefor and out of
such assets, but not otherwise,  to redeem all or any part of the shares of such
stock  standing in the name of such holder on the books of the  Corporation,  at
the net asset value of such shares, determined in the manner and as of the time,
and payable as provided in the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The
Corporation  shall make payment for any such shares to be redeemed as aforesaid,
in  cash,  or if in the  opinion  of the  Board  of  Directors,  which  shall be
conclusive,  conditions  exist  which  make  payment  wholly  in cash  unwise or
undesirable,  the  Corporation  may make payment  wholly or partly in securities
belonging  to the class to provide  for such  redemption  by it of the shares of
such class.

                        (1) The Board of  Directors of the  Corporation  may, in
accordance  with the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended,  suspend the
right of the  holders of any class of stock of the  Corporation  to require  the
Corporation to redeem shares of such class.

                        (2)  The  Board  of  Directors,  in  the  economic  best
interest  of the  Corporation  and in order  to  reduce  the  disproportionately
burdensome expenses in servicing  shareholder  accounts,  may from time to time,
establish  uniform  standards with respect to the minimum value of a stockholder
account or a minimum investment which may be made by a stockholder. The Board of
Directors,  by resolution and without the vote or consent of  stockholders,  may
require that the aggregate net asset value of a stockholder account shall not be
less than the minimum initial  investment  requirement of the Corporation at the
time of the  resolution.  The resolution may authorize the  Corporation to close
those stockholder  accounts not meeting the specified minimum standards of value
by redeeming  all of the shares in such  accounts,  provided  there is mailed to
each affected stockholder account, at least sixty (60) days prior to the planned
redemption date, a notice setting forth the minimum account size requirement and
the date on which the account will be closed if the minimum size  requirement is
not met prior to said closing date.

                    (D) Each  holder of any  class of stock of the  Corporation,
who surrenders his  certificate in good delivery form to the  Corporation or, if
the shares in question are not represented by certificates,  who delivers to the
Corporation a written request in good order signed by the shareholder,  shall be
entitled to convert the shares in question on the basis  hereinafter  set forth,
into  shares of stock of any other  class of the  Corporation.  The  Corporation
shall determine the net asset value,

                                       -4-
<PAGE>

as hereinafter defined, of the shares to be converted and shall deduct therefrom
such conversion  cost,  hereinafter  described and within five (5) business days
after such surrender and payment,  shall issue to the shareholder such number of
shares  of stock of the  class  desired  taken at the net  asset  value  thereof
determined  in the  same  manner  and at the  same  time as  that of the  shares
surrendered,  which shall  equal the net asset  value of the shares  surrendered
less conversion cost as aforesaid. Any amount representing a fraction of a share
may be paid in cash at the option of the Corporation.  The conversion cost above
mentioned  shall be determined  by adding a transaction  charge as determined by
the Board of Directors.  The  transaction  charge may be paid and/or assigned by
the  Corporation to the  underwriter  and/or any other agency,  as it may elect.
Upon any  conversion  taking place,  proper  transfer  shall be made between the
assets belonging to the respective  classes of stock. The Board of Directors may
limit  this  conversion  privilege  to  shares  which  have  been  held for such
reasonable period of time as the Directors may determine.

                    (E) The  aggregate  net asset  value per share of a class of
the  Corporation's  capital stock shall be  determined  in  accordance  with the
Investment  Company  Act of  1940,  as  amended,  and  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles,   by  adding  the  market  or  appraised  value  of  all
securities,  cash and other assets of the Corporation  pertaining to that class,
subtracting  the  liabilities  determined  by  the  Board  of  Directors  to  be
applicable to that class, and dividing the net result by the number of shares of

         EIGHTH: The Corporation is expressly empowered as follows:

contracts  with  any  person,   including  any  firm,  corporation,   trust,  or
association  in which any officer,  other  employee,  director or stockholder of
this corporation may be interested, providing for a delegation of the management
of all or part of this  corporation's  securities  portfolio (or portfolios) and
also  for  the  delegation  of  the  performance  of  administrative   corporate
functions,  subject  always to the  direction  of the Board of Directors of this

of this  Corporation in its discretion may deem reasonable and proper.  Any such
contract or contracts for the sale of the shares of this corporation may be made
with any person  even though  such  person may be an  officer,  other  employee,
director or stockholder of this corporation or a corporation, partnership, trust
or association in which any such

                                       -6-

officer,  other  employee,  director or stockholder  nay be interested,  or such
person-may be the same as that person retained pursuant to the powers granted in
Section (A) of this Article EIGHTH.  Each such contract shall in all respects be
consistent with and subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of
1940,  as  amended,  as then in effect and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  or  any  succeeding   governmental  authority  promulgated
thereunder.

                  (C) The  Corporation  may employ such  custodian or custodians
for the safekeeping of the property of the  corporation and of its shares,  such
dividend  disbursing  agent or  agents,  and such  transfer  agent or agents and
registrar or registrars for its shares,  and may make and perform such contracts
for the  aforesaid  purposes as in the opinion of the Board of Directors of this
Corporation  may be  reasonable,  necessary  or proper  for the  conduct  of the
affairs  of the  Corporation,  and may pay the  fees and  disbursements  of such
custodian,  dividend  disbursing agents,  transfer agents, and registrars out of
the income and/or any other  property of the  Corporation.  Notwithstanding  any
other  provisions  of these  articles  of  incorporation  or the  by-laws of the
Corporation,  the Board of Directors may cause any or all of the property of the
Corporation  to be  transferred  to, or be  acquired  and held in the name of, a
custodian  so  appointed  or any  nominees  of this  Corporation  or  nominee or
nominees  of such  custodian  satisfactory  to the  Board of  Directors  of this
Corporation.

                  (D)  The  same  person,   partnership  (general  or  limited),
association, trust or corporation may be employed in any multiple capacity under
subsections (A), (B) and (C) of this article EIGHTH and may receive compensation
from the  corporation  in as many  capacities in which such person,  partnership
(general  or  limited),  association,  trust  or  corporation  shall  serve  the
Corporation.

         NINTH:  (A) To the fullest extent that  limitations on the liability of
directors and officers are permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, no
director  or  officer  of  the  Corporation  shall  have  any  liability  to the
Corporation or its stockholders for money damages.  This limitation on liability
applies to events occurring at the time a person serves as a director or officer
of the  Corporation  whether or not such  person is a director or officer at the
time of any proceeding in which liability is asserted.

                  (B) The Corporation  shall  indemnify and advance  expenses to
its  currently  acting and its  former  directors  to the  fullest  extent  that
indemnification  of directors is permitted by the Maryland  General  Corporation
Law. The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to its officers to the
same extent as its  directors and to such further  extent as is consistent  with
law. The Board of Directors may by Bylaw,  resolution or agreement  make further
provisions for indemnification of directors, officers,

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

employees  and agents to the fullest  extent  permitted by the Maryland  General
Corporation Law.

                  (C) No provision of this Article shall be effective to protect
or purport to protect  any  director or officer of the  Corporation  against any
liability to the Corporation or its security holders to which he would otherwise
be subject by reason of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence  or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

                  (D) References to the Maryland General corporation Law in this
Article are to the law as from time to time amended. No further amendment to the
Articles  of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation  shall  affect any right of any
person under this Article based on any event,  omission or  proceeding  prior to
such amendment.

                  (E) Each  provision of this  Article  NINTH shall be severable
from the remainder,  and the  invalidity of any such provision  shall not affect
the validity of the remainder of this Article NINTH.

         TENTH:  The  Corporation  may purchase  and  maintain  insurance on its
behalf and on behalf of any  person  who is or was a director  or officer of the
Corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of  the  Corporation  as a
director or officer of another corporation,  partnership,  trust, joint venture,
association or other enterprise  against any liability  asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity.

conferred  by the laws of the  state of  Maryland,  the  Board of  Directors  is
expressly authorized:

                  (A) To make,  alter or repeal the by-laws of the  Corporation,

except as otherwise required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (B) From time to time to determine  whether and to what extent
and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the books
and  accounts of the  Corporation,  or any of them other than the stock  ledger,
shall be open to the inspection of the  stockholder,  and no  stockholder  shall
have any right to inspect any  account or book or  document of the  Corporation,
except as conferred by law or authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors
or of the stockholders.

                  (C) To authorize  and issue  obligations  of the  Corporation,
secured and unsecured, without assent or vote of the stockholders,  as the Board
of Directors may determine,  and to authorize and cause to be executed mortgages
and liens upon the property of the Corporation,  real and/or personal,  but only
to the

registration statement filed with the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission
or any succeeding governmental authority, pursuant to the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.

more than a majority vote of the common stock in  connection  with any corporate
action   including,   but  not  limited  to,  amendment  of  these  Articles  of
Incorporation,  unless otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation the
Corporation  may take or authorize  such action upon the  favorable  vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock.

         FIFTEENTH: The duration of the Corporation shall be perpetual.

number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be
open to the examination of any stockholder,  during ordinary business hours, for
a period of at least ten days prior to the  election,  either at a place  within
the city, town or village where the election is to be held and which place shall
be specified in the notice of meeting,  or if not specified,  at the place where
said meeting is to be held,  and the list shall be produced and kept at the time
and place of election during the whole time thereof, and

of the entire Board of Directors  shall  constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business and the action of a majority of the directors present at any meeting

the  laws  of  the  State  of  Maryland,   these  By-laws  or  the  Articles  of
Incorporation or a different number is required by the Investment Company Act of

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  RESTRICTIONS

         Section 1. Dealings.  The officers and directors of the corporation and
its  investment  adviser  shall  have  no  dealings  for  or on  behalf  of  the
corporation  with  themselves  as principal or agent,  or with any  corporation,
partnership,  trust, joint venture or association in which they have a financial
interest, provided that this section shall not prevent:

         (A) Officers or directors  of the  corporation  from having a financial
interest in the  corporation,  in any sponsor,  manager,  investment  adviser or
promoter of the corporation,  or in any underwriter or securities  issued by the
corporation.

         (B) The purchase of securities for the portfolio of the corporation, or
sale of securities owned by the corporation  through a security  dealer,  one or
more of whose partners, officers, directors or security holders is an officer or
director  of the  corporation,  provided  such  transactions  are  handled  in a
brokerage  capacity  only,  and  provided  commissions  charged  do  not  exceed
customary brokerage charges for such services.

         (C) The employment of any legal  counsel,  registrar,  transfer  agent,
dividend  disbursing agent or custodian having a partner,  officer,  director or
security holder who is an officer or director of the corporation;  provided only
customary  fees are charged for  services  rendered to or for the benefit of the
corporation.

         (D) The purchase for the  portfolio of the  corporation  of  securities
issued by an issuer  having an officer,  director  or security  holder who is an
officer or director  of the  corporation  or of any manager of the  corporation,
unless the

                                       -9-

<PAGE>

retention of such securities in the portfolio of the corporation would otherwise
be a  violation  of  these  By-laws  or the  Articles  of  Incorporation  of the
corporation.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                      STOCK

         Section  1.  Certificates.  Each  stockholder  shall be  entitled  to a
certificate  or  certificates  which shall certify the number of shares owned by
him in the corporation.  Each certificate  shall be signed by the president or a
vice-president  and countersigned by the secretary or an assistant  secretary or
the  treasurer or an assistant  treasurer and shall be sealed with the corporate
seal.

         Section 2. Signature.  When a certificate is signed by a transfer agent
or an assistant  transfer  agent or by a transfer  clerk acting on behalf of the
corporation   and  a   registrar,   the   signature   of  any  such   president,
vice-president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, secretary or assistant secretary
may be facsimile.  In case any officer who has signed any certificate  ceases to
be an  officer  of  the  corporation  before  the  certificate  is  issued,  the
certificate may  nevertheless be issued by the corporation  with the same effect
as if the officer had not ceased to be such officer as of the date of its issue.

         Section 3. Recording and Transfer Without Certificates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing  provisions of this article, the corporation shall have full power
to participate in any program  approved by the Board of Directors  providing for
the recording and transfer of ownership of shares of the corporation's  stock by
electronic or other means without the issuance of certificates.

         Section 4. Lost  Certificates.  The Board of Directors may direct a new
certificate  or  certificates  to be  issued  in  place  of any  certificate  or
certificates  theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been stolen,
lost or  destroyed,  upon the making of an  affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming the certificate of stock to be stolen, lost or destroyed, or upon other
satisfactory  evidence  of  such  loss or  destruction.  When  authorizing  such
issuance of a new  certificate or  certificates,  the Board of Directors may, in
its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such stolen,  lost or destroyed  certificate  or  certificates,  or his
legal  representative  to advertise  the same in such manner as it shall require
and to give the corporation a bond with sufficient surety, to the corporation to
indemnify  it  against  any loss or  claim  that  may be made by  reason  of the
issuance of a new certificate.

                                      -10-

         Section 5. Registered  Stockholders.  The corporation shall be entitled
to recognize  the  exclusive  right of a person  registered  on its books as the
owner of shares to receive  dividends,  and to vote as such owner, and shall not
be bound to recognize  any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share
or shares on the part of any other person,  whether or not it shall have express
or other notice thereof, except, as otherwise provided by the laws of Maryland.

         Section 6. Transfer Agents and  Registrars.  The corporation may act as
its own transfer  agent  and/or  registrar,  or it may delegate  those duties to
others. The Board of Directors may from time to time, appoint or remove transfer
agents  and/or  registrars of stock of the  corporation,  and it may appoint the
same person as both  transfer  agent and  registrar.  Upon any such  appointment
being made all certificates representing shares of stock thereafter issued shall
be  countersigned by one of such transfer agents or by one of such registrars or
by both and shall not be valid unless so countersigned. If the same person shall
be both transfer agent and registrar, only countersignature by such person shall
be required.

         Section 7. Stock Ledger.  The  corporation  shall  maintain an original
stock ledger  containing  the names and  addresses of all  stockholders  and the
number and class of shares held by each stockholder. Such stock ledger may be in
written  form or any other form  capable of being  converted  into  written form
within a reasonable time for visual inspection.

         Section 8.  Transfers  of Stock.  The  corporation  shall  transfer  or
otherwise  change the  registration of its issued and outstanding  shares in its
stock ledger upon receipt of an authorization in a form proper and acceptable to
it or its duly  appointed  agent.  To the extent such shares are  evidenced by a
certificate or certificates, the surrender of such certificate properly endorsed
shall be required where necessary.  Upon receipt of the transfer instructions in
proper order by the corporation,  the corporation  shall change its stock ledger
records accordingly and record the transaction upon its books.

                                    ARTICLE X

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         Section 1. Dividends.  With respect to dividends (including "dividends"
designated as "short" or "long" term "capital  gains"  distributions  to satisfy
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,  or the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended from time to time):


                                      -11-

<PAGE>

         (A)  Such  dividends,  at  the  election  of the  stockholders,  may be
automatically  reinvested  in additional  shares (or  fractions  thereof) of the
corporation at the "net asset value"  determined on the reinvestment  date fixed
by the Board of Directors.

         (B) The Board of Directors in declaring any dividend,  may fix a record
date not earlier than the date of  declaration or more than 40 days prior to the
date of payment, as of which the stockholders  entitled to receive such dividend
shall be determined, notwithstanding any transfer or the repurchase or issue (or
sale) of any shares after such record date.

         (C) Dividends or  distributions  on shares of stock whether  payable in
stock  or  cash,  shall  be paid out of  earnings,  surplus  or  other  lawfully
available  assets;  provided that no dividend  payment,  or  distribution in the
nature of a dividend payment, may be made wholly or partly from any source other
than accumulated,  undistributed net income,  determined in accordance with good
accounting practice, and not including profits or losses realized in the sale of
securities or other properties,  unless such payment is accompanied by a written
statement clearly indicating what portion of such payment per share is made from
the following sources:

                  (i)  accumulated  or  undistributed  net income not  including
             profits or losses from the sale of securities or other properties;

                  (ii)  accumulated  undistributed  net profits from the sale of
             securities or other properties;

                  (iii)  net  profits  from  the  sale of  securities  or  other
             properties during the then current fiscal year; and

                  (iv) paid-in surplus or other capital source.

         (D) In declaring  dividends and in recognition that the one goal of the
corporation is to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954,  as amended,  the Board of Directors  shall be entitled to
rely upon  estimates  made in the last two months of the  fiscal  year as to the
amounts of distribution  necessary for this purpose; and the Board of Directors,
acting   consistently  with  good  accounting  practice  and  with  the  express
provisions of these By-laws,  may credit  receipts and charge payments to income
or otherwise, as it may seem proper.

         (E) Any  dividends  declared,  except  as  aforesaid,  shall be  deemed
liquidating  dividends  and the  stockholders  shall be so  informed to whatever
extent may be  required  by law.  A notice  that  dividends  have been paid from
paid-in surplus, or

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

a notice that dividends have been paid from paid-in capital,  shall be deemed to
be a sufficient notice that the same constitutes liquidating dividends.

         (F)  Anything in these  By-laws to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the
Board of  Directors  may at any time declare and  distribute  pro rata among the
stockholders  of a record date fixed as above, a "stock  dividend" out of either
authorized but unissued, or treasury shares of the corporation, or both.

         Section 2. Rights in Securities.  The Board of Directors,  on behalf of
the  corporation,  shall have the authority to exercise all of the rights of the
corporation  as  owners  of any  securities  which  might  be  exercised  by any
individual  owning such  securities in his own right;  including but not limited
to, the rights to vote by proxy for any and all purposes (including the right to
authorize  any  officer of the  manager to execute  proxies),  to consent to the
reorganization,  merger or  consolidation  of any  company  or to consent to the
sale, lease or mortgage of all or  substantially  all of the property and assets
of any  company;  and to exchange  any of the shares of stock of any company for
shares  of  stock  issued  therefor  upon  any  such   reorganization,   merger,
consolidation, sale, lease or mortgage.

         Section 3. Custodianship.  Securities owned by the corporation and cash
representing  (A) the proceeds from sales of securities owned by the corporation
and of  shares  issued  by the  corporation,  (B)  payments  of  principal  upon
securities owned by the corporation,  or (C) capital distributions in respect of
securities owned by the corporation shall be held by one or more custodians,  as
permitted by the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  to be selected by
the Board of Directors.  Each bank and/or trust company  selected as a custodian
shall be organized and existing  under a state banking and/or trust company law,
or shall be a national banking  association  incorporated  under the laws of the
United States of America and qualified to act as a trust company, and shall have
an aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $2,000,000.
Each custodian  shall enter into an agreement with the corporation to serve as a
custodian of such securities and cash on terms consistent with the provisions of
these  By-laws.  From the time any such trust  company,  banking  association or
other  permissible  entity  becomes a custodian of such  securities and cash, it
shall:

         (A) Deliver securities owned by the corporation, only upon sale of such
securities for the account of the corporation and receipt of payment therefor by
the custodian, or when such securities may be called, redeemed, retired or

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

otherwise become payable, provided that this provision shall not prevent:

                  (i)  Delivery  of  securities  for  examination  to the broker
         selling the same,  in  accordance  with the "street  delivery"  custom,
         whereby such  securities are delivered to such broker in exchange for a
         delivery receipt  exchanged on the same day for an uncertified check of
         such broker to be presented on the same day for certification.

                  (ii)  Delivery of  securities  of an issuer in exchange for or
         for  conversion  into,  other  securities  alone,  or  cash  and  other
         securities,   pursuant   to  any   plan   or   merger,   consolidation,
         reorganization,  recapitalization  or readjustment of the securities of
         such  issuer  or  for  deposit  with  a  reorganization   committee  or
         protective committee, pursuant to a deposit agreement.

                  (iii) The  conversion by the custodian of securities  owned by
         the  corporation,  pursuant to the provisions of such  securities  into
         other securities.

                  (iv) The  surrender by the  custodian  of warrants,  rights or
         similar  securities  owned by the  corporation  in the exercise of such
         warrants,  rights or similar  securities,  or the  surrender of interim
         receipts or temporary securities for definitive securities.

                  (v) The  delivery of  securities  as  collateral  on borrowing
         affected by the corporation,  subject to the limitations of Article VII
         of these By-laws.

                  (vi) The delivery of securities owned by the corporation, as a
         complete  or partial  redemption  in kind of  securities  issued by the
         corporation.

         (B)  Deliver  funds  of the  corporation  only  upon  the  purchase  of
securities  for the  portfolio  of the  corporation,  and the  delivery  of such
securities to the custodian;  provided  always,  that such limitation  shall not
prevent the release of funds by the custodian for redemption of shares issued by
the  corporation,  for  payment  of  interest,  dividend  disbursements,  taxes,
management fees, custodian fees, other operating expenses properly authorized by
an officer or  officers  as required  by the  custodian  agreement,  payments in
connection  with  conversion,  exchange or surrender of securities  owned by the
corporation   (as  set  forth  in   Subsection  A  of  this   Section)  and  for
organizational  and such other obligations as approved by the Board of Directors
certified in writing.


                                      -14-

<PAGE>

         (C)  Upon the  resignation  or  inability  of a  custodian  to serve as
custodian of the assets of the corporation,  the corporation  shall use its best
efforts to obtain a successor custodian, to require that the cash and securities
owned by the corporation be delivered directly to such successor  custodian and,
in the event that no such successor can be found, to submit to the  stockholders
- --  before  permitting  delivery  of  the  cash  and  securities  owned  by  the
corporation  to anyone  other than a  successor  custodian  -- the  question  of
whether the  corporation  shall be  liquidated  or shall  function  without such
custodian.

         (D) Nothing  hereinbefore  contained  shall prevent any such  custodian
from delivering  assets of the corporation to a successor  custodian  having the
qualifications hereinabove prescribed.

         (E) No  directors,  officers,  employees  or agents of the  corporation
shall be authorized  or permitted to withdraw any assets held by the  custodian,
except  as  permitted  in  this  Article  X  and  in  the  Custodian  Agreement.
Directions,  notices or instructions to the custodian,  with respect to delivery
of securities,  payment of cash or otherwise,  shall be given by such officer or
officers  and/or  such person or persons,  and in such  manner,  as the Board of
Directors may from time to time designate.

         Section 4. Reports. The corporation shall transmit to the stockholders,
at least  semiannually,  a report of the operations of the corporation  based at
least  annually upon an audit by  independent  public  accountants.  Said report
shall clearly set forth the information customarily furnished in a balance sheet
and  profit and loss  statement,  and in  addition,  shall  clearly  set forth a
statement of all amounts paid directly to  securities  dealers,  legal  counsel,
transfer agents,  disbursing agents,  registrars,  custodians or trustees, where
such payments are made to a firm,  corporation,  bank or trust company having an
officer,  director  or  partner  who is  also an  officer  or  director  of this
corporation.  A copy or copies,  of all reports submitted to the stockholders of
this corporation  shall also be sent, as required to the regulatory  agencies of
the United  States of America  and the  states in which the  securities  of this
corporation are registered and sold.

         Section  5.  Bonding  of  Officers  and  Employees.  All  officers  and
employees of the corporation shall be bonded to such extent, and in such manner,
as may be required by law.

         Section 6. Seal. The corporate  seal shall have  inscribed  thereon the
name of the  corporation,  the year of its organization and the words "Corporate
Seal, Maryland." The

                                      -15-

                                     between

                              JONES & BABSON, INC.

                                       AND

                          BUFFALO SMALL CAP FUND, INC.

         THIS  AGREEMENT,  made and entered into this ____ day of  ____________,
1997,  by and between  BUFFALO SMALL CAP FUND,  INC.,  (a Maryland  corporation,
hereinafter  referred to as the "Fund") and JONES & BABSON,  INC., a corporation
organized  under the laws of the State of Maryland  (hereinafter  referred to as
the  "Manager"),   and  which  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  any  number  of
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but one instrument.

         WHEREAS,  the Fund was founded and  incorporated by the Manager for the
purpose of engaging in the business of investing  and  reinvesting  its property
and assets and to operate as an  open-end,  diversified,  management  investment
company,  as  defined in the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 as  amended  (the
"Act"),   under  which  it  is  registered  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission, and

         WHEREAS,  the Manager was formed for and is engaged in the  business of
supplying   investment  advice  and  management  service  to  the  Fund,  as  an
independent contractor, and

         WHEREAS,   the  Fund  Manager  desires  to  enter  into  a  contractual
arrangement  whereby  the  Manager  provides  investment  advice and  management
service to the Fund for a fee,

         NOW  THEREFORE,   in   consideration  of  the  mutual  promises  herein
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged,  it is mutually  agreed and  contracted by and between the parties
hereto that:

         1. The Fund  hereby  employs the  Manager,  for the period set forth in
Paragraph  5 hereof,  and on the terms set forth  herein,  to render  investment
advice and  management  service  to the Fund,  subject  to the  supervision  and
direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund. The Manager hereby accepts such
employment and agrees, during such period, to render the services and assume the
obligations  herein  set  forth,  for  the  compensation  herein  provided.  The
Management  shall,  for all  purposes  herein,  be deemed  to be an  independent
contractor, and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided and authorized,  have
no authority to act for or represent the Fund in any way, or in any other way be
deemed an agent of the Fund.


                                     Page 1

<PAGE>



         The  Manager  shall  furnish  the  Fund   investment   management   and
administrative services.  Investment management shall include analysis, research
and  portfolio  recommendations   consistent  with  the  Fund's  objectives  and
policies. Administrative services shall include the services and compensation of
such members of the  Manager's  organization  as shall be duly elected  officers
and/or  Directors of the Fund and such other  personnel as shall be necessary to
carry  out  its  normal  operations;  fees  of the  independent  Directors,  the
custodian,  the independent  public  accountant and legal counsel (but not legal
and audit fees and other costs in  contemplation of or arising out of litigation
or  administrative  actions to which the Fund,  its officers or Directors  are a
party or incurred in  anticipation  of  becoming a party);  rent;  the cost of a
transfer  and  dividend   disbursing   agent  or  similar   in-house   services;
bookkeeping;  accounting; and all other clerical and administrative functions as
may be  reasonable  and  necessary to maintain the Fund's  records and for it to
operate  as  an  open-end  management  investment  company.   Exclusive  of  the
management fee, the Fund shall bear the cost of any interest,  taxes, dues, fees
and other  charges  of  governments  and their  agencies  including  the cost of
qualifying   the  Fund's  shares  for  sale  in  any   jurisdiction,   brokerage
commissions,  or any other expenses  incurred by it which are not assumed herein
by the Manager.

         All  property,  equipment  and  information  used by the Manager in the
management and  administration  of the Fund shall belong to the Manager.  Should
the management and administrative  relationship between the Fund and the Manager
terminate,  the Fund shall be  entitled  to, and the Manager  shall  provide the
Fund, a copy of all  information and records in the Manager's file necessary for
the Fund to continue its  functions,  which shall include  computer  systems and
programs in use as of the date of such  termination;  but nothing  herein  shall
prohibit  thereafter  the use of such  information,  systems or  programs by the
manager,  so long  as such  does  not  unfairly  interfere  with  the  continued
operation of the Fund.

         2. As  compensation  for the services to be rendered to the Fund by the
Manager  under  the  provisions  of  this  agreement,  the  Fund  agrees  to pay
semimonthly  to the Manager an annual fee based on the average  total net assets
of the Fund computed daily in accordance with its  Certificate of  Incorporation
and By-Laws as follows:

         a. one percent (1%) of the average total net assets of the Fund.

         b. Should the Fund's  normal  operating  expenses  exclusive  of taxes,
interest, brokerage commission and extraordinary costs exceed limits established
by any law, rule or regulation  of any  jurisdiction  in which the Fund's shares
are

                                     Page 2

<PAGE>



registered for sale, the Manager shall reimburse the Fund in the
amount of the excess.

         3. It is understood  and agreed that the services to be rendered by the
Manager to the Fund under the  provisions  of the Agreement are not to be deemed
exclusive, and the Manager shall be free to render similar or different services
to others so long as its  ability to render the  services  provided  for in this
Agreement shall not be impaired thereby.

         4. It is understood  and agreed that the Directors,  officers,  agents,
employees,  and  shareholders  of the Fund may be  interested  in the Manager as
owners, employees, agents or otherwise, and that owners, employees and agents of
the Manager may be interested in the Fund as  shareholders  or otherwise.  It is
understood  and  agreed  that  shareholders,   officers,  Directors,  and  other
personnel of the Manager are and may  continue to be officers  and  Directors of
the Fund, but that they receive no remuneration  from the Fund solely for acting
in those capacities.

         5. This Agreement  shall become  effective  pursuant to its approval by
the Fund's Board of Directors  and by the vote of a majority of the  outstanding
shares of the Fund as  prescribed  by the Act. It shall remain in force  through
the 31st day of October,  1999,  and  thereafter  may be renewed for  successive
periods not exceeding one year only so long as such renewal and  continuance  is
specifically  approved at least annually by the Board of Directors or by vote of
a majority of the  outstanding  shares of the Fund as prescribed by the Act, and
only if the terms and the renewal of this Agreement have been approved by a vote
of a majority of the Directors of the Fund including a majority of the Directors
who are not parties to the  Agreement or  interested  persons of any such party,
cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on such  approval.
No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective  unless the terms thereof have
been  approved  by the vote of a majority of  outstanding  shares of the Fund as
prescribed by the Act and by vote of a majority of the Directors of the Fund who
are not parties to the Agreement or interested  persons of any such party,  cast
in person at a meeting  called for the  purpose of voting on such  approval.  It
shall be the duty of the Directors of the Fund to request and evaluate,  and the
duty of the Manager to furnish,  such information as may reasonably be necessary
to  evaluate  the  terms  of this  Agreement  and any  amendment  thereto.  This
Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty,  by
the  Directors  of the Fund,  or by the vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding
voting  shares of the Fund as  prescribed by the Act on not more than sixty days
written notice to the Manager,  and it may be terminated by the Manager upon not
less  than  sixty  days  written   notice  to  the  Fund.  It  shall   terminate
automatically  in the event of its assignment by either party unless the parties
hereby,  by  agreement,  obtain an exemption  from the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission from the provisions of the Act pertaining to the subject

                                     Page 3

<PAGE>

matter of this  paragraph.  Any  notice,  request or  instruction  provided  for
herein,  or for the giving of which, the occasion may arise hereunder,  shall be
deemed duly given, if in writing and mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the regular executive office of the Fund or the Manager as the case
may be. As used in this Agreement,  the terms  "assignment",  "a majority of the
outstanding voting shares", and "interested persons" shall have the same meaning
as similar terms contained in the Act.

         6. It is specifically provided in this Agreement that the Manager is to
secure the services of KORNITZER  CAPITAL  MANAGEMENT,  INC. of Shawnee Mission,
Kansas  (at the sole  expense  of the  Manager),  as its  Investment  Counsel to
furnish  advice and  recommendations  with  respect to the  purchase and sale of
securities and the making of portfolio commitments;  to place at the disposal of
the Manager such  statistical  information  as may reasonably be required and in
general to superintend the  investments of the Fund,  subject to the control and
approval of the Board of  Directors of the Manager and the Board of Directors of
the Fund.

                  It is also  specifically  provided in this  Agreement that the
Manager is to provide all  clerical  and  administrative  functions  (at its own
expense) as may be reasonable  and necessary to maintain the Fund's  records and
for it to  operate  as an  open-end  management  investment  company,  including
serving as transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

         7. As a condition of this  agreement,  the Fund shall have the right to
use the name  "BUFFALO"  as part of its  name,  so long as the  Manager,  or any
successor in  interest,  continues  as a manager to the Fund.  However,  nothing
herein  shall  prohibit  the  right of the  Manager  from  granting  to  another
investment  company  with the Manager as its manager,  and which has  investment
objectives and policies different from those of the Fund, to use in its name the
name "BUFFALO".  Should the Fund terminate the Manager, or its successor, as its
investment manager, either KORNITZER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC., or its respective
successors in interest,  may elect to notify the Fund in writing that permission
to use the name "BUFFALO" has been withdrawn,  whereupon the Fund, its officers,
directors and  shareholders,  expressly  agree to take all  necessary  corporate
action and to proceed  expeditiously  to change the name of the Fund and not use
any  other  name or take any  other  action  which  would  indicate  the  Fund's
continued  association with the Manager.  If the use of the name "BUFFALO" is so
withdrawn as  aforesaid,  the Fund,  its officers,  directors and  shareholders,
understand  and agree  that there  shall be no  limitation  with  respect to the
future use of the name  "BUFFALO" by the Manager,  or its successor in interest,
or with the permission of the Manager, or its successor.

         8. It is further  agreed that the provisions of Paragraph 7 shall inure
to the benefit of the Manager and may be imposed by it

                                     Page 4

<PAGE>


or any successor in interest as if it or such successor in interest
were parties to this Agreement.

         10.  The  Manager  shall not be liable  for any  error in  judgment  or
mistake at law for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection  with any matters
to which this Agreement  relates,  except that nothing herein contained shall be
construed to protect the Investment  Manager  against any liability by reason of
willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
or by reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under this Agreement.

         11. This Agreement may not be amended,  transferred,  assigned, sold or
in any manner hypothecated or pledged nor may any new Agreement become effective
without  affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the
shares of the Fund.

Directors or the  shareholders by vote of a majority of the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Fund, as provided by the Act, has  terminated  the  Management
Agreement.  This  Agreement  shall  automatically  terminate in the event of its
assignment or assignment of the Management  Agreement  unless such assignment is

this paragraph.  The Manager shall promptly notify the Investment Counsel of any

reference to the Fund that is reasonably  necessary to permit Investment Counsel
to carry out its  responsibilities  under this Agreement,  and the parties agree
that they will from time to time consult and make appropriate arrangements as to
specific  information that it is required under this paragraph and the frequency
and manner with which it shall be supplied.

         7. The Investment Counsel shall not be liable for any error of judgment
or mistake at law or for any loss  suffered by Manager of the Fund in connection
with any matters to which this  Agreement  relates  except that  nothing  herein
contained  shall be  construed  to protect the  Investment  Counsel  against ant

performance of its duties or by reckless  disregard of its obligations or duties
under this agreement.

between the Fund and JONES & BABSON,  INC.,  Investment  Counsel agrees with the

                                     between

                          BUFFALO SMALL CAP FUND, INC.

                              JONES & BABSON, INC.

         THIS AGREEMENT,  made and entered into this ____ day of  _____________,
1997,  by and between  BUFFALO SMALL CAP FUND,  INC.,  (a Maryland  corporation,
hereinafter  referred  to as the  "Fund")  and JONES & BABSON,  INC. (a Missouri
corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Principal Underwriter").

         1. Subject to the provisions of its  Certificate of  Incorporation  and
By-Laws,  copies of which have been  delivered  to and are  acknowledged  by the
Principal  Underwriter,  the Board of Directors  of the Fund hereby  appoint the
firm of Jones & Babson,  Inc. as the Principal  Underwriter and sole distributor
of the shares of the Fund,  except for shares which the Fund may elect  pursuant
to authority of its Board of  Directors  to issue direct to  registered  owners,
which shall include by definition  but not by limitation  stock issued by virtue
of reinvestment of dividends,  or as the result of a splitting of shares,  or as
the result of the Fund merging or consolidating with another organization, or in
return  for  acquisition  of  assets,  or as the  result  of  shares  issued  in
connection  with a  contractual  plan  for  which  the  Fund  is the  underlying
investment,  or for the purpose of  complying  with the  registration  laws of a
particular state or jurisdiction.

         2.  In  consideration  of  its  appointment  under  this  Agreement  as
Principal  Underwriter,  Jones &  Babson,  Inc.  agrees  to pay all costs of all
administrative  services  required  in the normal  operation  of the Fund.  This
includes  rent;   shareholder   services,   including  the  maintenance  of  the
shareholder  accounting system and transfer agency;  and such other items as are
incidental to corporate administration. Not considered normal operating expenses
and therefore payable by the Fund, are taxes,  interest,  fees and other charges
of governments  and their  agencies  including the cost of qualifying the Fund's
shares for sale in any jurisdiction, brokerage costs, dues and all extraordinary
costs and  expenses  including  but not  limited  to legal and  accounting  fees
incurred in  anticipation  of or arising  out of  litigation  or  administrative
proceedings  to which the Fund,  its  directors  or officers may be subject or a
party thereto.

         3. The Fund agrees to prepare and file registration statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Securities Departments of the various
states and other  jurisdictions in which the shares may be offered,  and do such
other

                                     Page 1

<PAGE>

things and to take such  other  actions as may be  mutually  agreed  upon by and
between  the  parties as shall be  reasonably  necessary  in order to effect the
registration and the sale of the Fund's shares.

         4. The Principal Underwriter agrees to place its full facilities at the
disposal  of the Fund and to assist  and  cooperate  fully  with  respect to the
registration  and  qualification  of the Fund's  shares,  as well as perform all
functions  required in connection with any offering  including,  but not limited
to, the creation  and  preparation  of  literature,  advertising,  and any other
promotional material for the purpose of selling the Fund's shares.

         5.  Principal  Underwriter  will  act as  agent  of the Fund and not as
principal  in the  solicitation  and  sale  of the  shares  of the  Fund  unless
expressly agreed to in writing by the Principal Underwriter and the Fund.

         6. Normally,  the Fund shall not exercise any direction or control over
the time and place of solicitation,  the persons to be solicited,  or the manner
of solicitation;  but the Principal  Underwriter agrees that solicitations shall
be in a form  acceptable  to the Fund and  shall be  subject  to such  terms and
conditions as may be prescribed from time to time by the Fund, the  Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, the Certificate of Incorporation,  and By-Laws of the
Fund, and shall not violate any provision of the laws of the United States or of
any other jurisdiction to which  solicitations are subject,  or violate any rule
or regulation  promulgated  by any lawfully  constituted  authority to which the
Fund or Principal Underwriter may be subject.

         7. The Fund agrees to issue new shares direct to the  registered  owner
pursuant to this  Agreement  and  according to  instructions  from the Principal
Underwriter,  subject to the net asset value of such shares next effective after
acceptance of the order by the Fund and as more fully set out in paragraph 8.

         8. The Fund hereby  authorizes  the Principal  Underwriter  to sell its
shares in accordance with the following schedule of prices:

         The  applicable  price  will be the net  asset  value  per  share  next
effective  after  receipt  and  acceptance  by the  Fund of a  proper  offer  to
purchase,  determined  in  accordance  with the  Certificate  of  Incorporation,
By-Laws, Registration Statement and Prospectus of
the Fund.

         9. The Fund agrees that,  as long as this  Agreement  is in effect,  it
will not authorize  anyone else to offer or solicit  applications  for shares of
the Fund and will not accept any such  application  if  submitted  by or through
anyone other than the Principal  Underwriter,  unless the Principal  Underwriter
shall first have agreed in writing to such authorization.

         10. This  Agreement  (i) may be  terminated  without the payment of any
penalty,  either by vote of the Board of  Directors  of the Fund or by vote of a
majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund, on sixty (60) days
written  notice to the Principal  Underwriter;  (ii) may be  terminated  without
penalty by the Principal  Underwriter  on sixty (60) days written  notice to the

         11. The  Principal  Underwriter  agrees  that it will not take either a
short or long  position  with  respect  to shares of the Fund;  that it will not
place orders for more shares than are required to fill the requests  received by
it as agent of the Fund; and that it will expeditiously transmit all such orders
to the Fund.

         12. Nothing  contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to protect the
Principal  Underwriter  against any  liability to the Fund or to its  securities
holders to which the Principal  Underwriter would otherwise be subject by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties hereunder,  or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties hereunder.

written,  and  continue  in effect  through  the 31st day of  October,  1998 and
thereafter  shall continue  automatically  for successive  annual periods ending
with each 31st day of October,  provided that such  continuance is  specifically
approved at least annually by the Board of Directors or by vote of a majority of
the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund and provided  further that this
Agreement or any renewal  thereof shall be approved by the vote of a majority of
the Directors who are not parties to the Agreement or interested  persons of any
such  party,  cast in person,  at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.

         This agreement made as of this ____ day of ___________, 1997 between

         WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

         WHEREAS, the Fund desires to appoint Custodian as its custodian for the

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, mutually covenant and
agree as follows:

         1.       APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN.

         The Fund hereby constitutes and appoints the Custodian as custodian of

or other oral communication from a person the Custodian reasonably believes to
be an Authorized Person; or (iii) a communication effected directly between an
electro-mechanical or electronic device or system (including, without
limitation, computers) on behalf of the Fund. Instructions in the form of oral
communications shall be confirmed by the Fund by tested telex or in writing in
the manner set forth in clause (i) above, but the lack of such confirmation
shall in no way affect any action taken by the Custodian in reliance upon such
oral Instructions prior to the Custodian's receipt of such confirmation. The
Fund authorizes the Custodian to record any and all telephonic or other oral
Instructions communicated to the Custodian.

         (c)(2) "Special Instructions", as used herein, shall mean Instructions
countersigned or confirmed in writing by the Treasurer or any Assistant
Treasurer of the Fund or any other person designated by the Treasurer of the
Fund in writing, which countersignature or confirmation shall be included on the
same instrument containing the Instructions or on a separate instrument relating

         (c)(3) Instructions and Special Instructions shall be delivered to the

         (c)(4) Where appropriate, Instructions and Special

         The Fund has furnished the Custodian with copies, properly certified or
authenticated, with all amendments or supplements thereto, of the following
documents:

              (b) By-Laws of the Fund as in effect on the date hereof;

<PAGE>

              (c) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Fund appointing
              the Custodian and approving the form of this Agreement; and

              (d) The Fund's current prospectus and statements of additional

Person"). Such Resolutions and certificates may be accepted and relied upon by
the Custodian as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be
considered to be in full force and effect until delivery to the Custodian of a
similar Resolution or certificate to the contrary. Upon delivery of a
certificate which deletes or does not include the name(s) of a person previously
authorized to give Instructions or to countersign or confirm Special
Instructions, such persons shall no longer be considered an Authorized Person
authorized to give Instructions or to countersign or confirm Special
Instructions. Unless the certificate specifically requires that the approval of
anyone else will first have been obtained, the Custodian will be under no
obligation to inquire into the right of the person giving such Instructions or
Special Instructions to do so. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no
Instructions or Special Instructions received by the Custodian from the Fund
will be deemed to authorize or permit any director, trustee, officer, employee,
or agent of the Fund to withdraw any of the Assets of the Fund upon the mere
receipt of such authorization, Special Instructions or Instructions from such
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent.

         4. POWERS AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN AND DOMESTIC SUBCUSTODIAN.

purposes of this Section 4 all references to powers and duties of the
"Custodian"

                                        3

shall also refer to any Domestic Subcustodian appointed pursuant to Section
5(a).

         (a) Safekeeping.

The Custodian will keep safely the Assets of the Fund which are delivered to it
from time to time. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any property of
the Fund held or received by the Fund and not delivered to the Custodian.

         (b) Manner of Holding Securities.

         (1) The Custodian shall at all times hold Securities of the Fund

with the provisions of sub-paragraph (3) below.

         (2) The Custodian may hold registrable portfolio Securities which have
been delivered to it in physical form, by registering the same in the name of

Upon the receipt of Instructions, the Custodian shall hold such Securities in
street certificate form, so called, with or without any indication of fiduciary
capacity. However, unless it receives Instructions to the contrary, the
Custodian will register all such portfolio Securities in the name of the
Custodian's authorized nominee. All such Securities shall be held in an account
of the Custodian containing only assets of the Fund or only assets held by the
Custodian as a fiduciary, provided that the records of the Custodian shall
indicate at all times the Fund or other customer for which such Securities are
held in such accounts and the respective interests therein.

         (3) The Custodian may deposit and/or maintain domestic Securities owned
by the Fund in, and the Fund hereby approves use of: (a) The Depository Trust
Company; (b) The Participants Trust Company; and (c) any book-entry system as
provided in (i) Subpart O of Treasury Circular No. 300, 31 CFR 306.115, (ii)
Subpart B of Treasury Circular Public Debt Series No. 27-76, 31 CFR 350.2, or

deposit and/or maintain domestic Securities owned by the Fund in any other
domestic clearing agency registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or as may
otherwise be authorized by the SEC to serve in the capacity of depository or
clearing agent for the Securities or other assets of investment companies) which
acts as a Securities depository. Each of the foregoing shall be referred

                                        4
<PAGE>

to in this Agreement as a "Securities system", and all such Securities Systems

in accordance with applicable Federal Reserve Board and SEC rules and
regulations, if any, and subject to the following provisions:

         (i) The Custodian may deposit the Securities directly or through one or
     more agents or Subcustodians which are also qualified to act as custodians
     for investment companies.

         (ii) The Custodian shall deposit and/or maintain the Securities in a
     Securities System, provided that such Securities are represented in an
     account ("Account") of the Custodian in the Securities System that includes
     only assets held by the Custodian as a fiduciary, custodian or otherwise
     for customers.

         (iii) The books and records of the Custodian shall at all times
     identify those Securities belonging to the Fund which are maintained in a
     Securities System.

     an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect such payment and
     transfer for the account of the Fund. The Custodian shall transfer
     Securities sold for the account of the Fund only upon (a) receipt of advice
     from the Securities System that payment for such Securities has been
     transferred to the Account of the Custodian in accordance with the rules of
     the Securities System, and (b) the making of an entry on the records of the
     Custodian to reflect such transfer and payment for the account of the Fund.
     Copies of all advices from the Securities System relating to transfers of
     Securities for the account of the Fund shall be maintained for the Fund by
     the Custodian. The Custodian shall deliver to the Fund on the next
     succeeding business day daily transaction reports which shall include each
     day's transactions in the Securities System for the account of the Fund.
     Such transaction reports shall be delivered to the Fund or any agent
     designated by the Fund pursuant to Instructions, by computer or in such

     the Securities System.

         (vi) Upon receipt of Special Instructions, the Custodian shall
     terminate the use of any Securities System on behalf of the Fund as
     promptly as practicable and shall take all actions reasonably practicable
     to safeguard the Securities of the Fund maintained with such Securities
     System.

         (c)      Free Delivers of Assets.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and except as
provided in Section 3 hereof, the Custodian, upon receipt of Special
Instructions, will undertake to make free delivery of Assets, provided such
Assets are on hand and available, in connection with the Fund's transactions and
to transfer such Assets to such broker, dealer, Subcustodian, bank, agent,
Securities System or otherwise as specified in such Special Instructions.

         (d) Exchange of Securities.

         Upon receipt of Instructions, the Custodian will exchange portfolio

connection with any reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or
conversion of convertible Securities, and will deposit any such Securities in
accordance with the terms of any reorganization or protective plan.

         Without Instructions, the Custodian is authorized to exchange
Securities held by it in temporary form for Securities in definitive form, to
surrender Securities for transfer into a name or nominee name as permitted in

         (e) Purchases of Assets.

         (1) Securities Purchases. In accordance with Instructions, the
Custodian shall, with respect to a purchase of Securities, pay for such
Securities out of monies held for the Fund's account for which the purchase was
made, but only insofar as monies are available therein for such purpose, and
receive the portfolio Securities so purchased. Unless the Custodian has received
Special Instructions to the contrary, such payment will be made only upon
receipt of Securities by the Custodian, a clearing corporation of a national
Securities exchange of which the Custodian is a member, or a Securities System
in accordance with

                                        6

<PAGE>

the provisions of Section 4(b)(3) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
receipt of Instructions: (i) in connection with a repurchase agreement, the
Custodian may release funds to a Securities System prior to the receipt of
advice from the Securities System that the Securities underlying such repurchase
agreement have been transferred by book-entry into the Account maintained with
such Securities System by the Custodian, provided that the Custodian's
instructions to the Securities System require that the Securities System may
make payment of such funds to the other party to the repurchase agreement only
upon transfer by book-entry of the Securities underlying the repurchase
agreement into such Account; (ii) in the case of Interest Bearing Deposits,
currency deposits, and other deposits, foreign exchange transactions, futures
contracts or options, pursuant to Sections 4(g), 4(h), 4(1), and 4(m) hereof,
the Custodian may make payment therefor before receipt of an advice of
transaction; and (iii) in the case of Securities as to which payment for the
Security and receipt of the instrument evidencing the Security are under
generally accepted trade practice or the terms of the instrument representing
the Security expected to take place in different locations or through separate
parties, such as commercial paper which is indexed to foreign currency exchange
rates, derivatives and similar Securities, the Custodian may make payment for
such Securities prior to delivery thereof in accordance with such generally
accepted trade practice or the terms of the instrument representing such

Custodian with a clearing corporation of a national Securities exchange of which
the Custodian is a member; or (c) credit to the Account of the Custodian with a
Securities System, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b)(3) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securities held in physical form may be delivered
and paid for in accordance with "street delivery custom" to a broker or its
clearing agent, against delivery to the Custodian of a receipt for such
Securities, provided that the Custodian shall have taken reasonable steps to
ensure prompt collection of the payment for,

                                        7

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may also appoint a Foreign
Subcustodian, Special Subcustodian, or Interim Subcustodian to act on behalf of
the Fund. For purposes of this Agreement, all Domestic Subcustodians, Foreign
Subcustodians, Special Subcustodians and Interim Subcustodians shall be referred

<PAGE>

         (a) Domestic Subcustodians.

         The Custodian may, at any time and from time to time, appoint any bank
as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act or any trust company or other
entity, any of which meet the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of
the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act for the Custodian
on behalf of the Fund as a subcustodian for purposes of holding Assets of the
Fund and performing other functions of the Custodian within the United States (a
"Domestic Subcustodian"). The Fund shall approve in writing the appointment of
the proposed Domestic Subcustodian; and the Custodian's appointment of any such
Domestic Subcustodian shall not be effective without such prior written approval
of the Fund. Each such duly approved Domestic Subcustodian shall be listed on
Appendix A attached hereto, as it may be amended, from time to time.

         (b) Foreign Subcustodians.

         The Custodian may at any time appoint, or cause a Domestic Subcustodian
to appoint, any bank, trust company or other entity meeting the requirements of
an "eligible foreign custodian" under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder to act for the Custodian on behalf of the Fund
as a subcustodian or sub-subcustodian (if appointed by a Domestic Subcustodian)
for purposes of holding Assets of the Fund and performing other functions of the
Custodian in countries other than the United States of America (hereinafter
referred to as a "Foreign Subcustodian" in the context of either a subcustodian
or a sub-subcustodian); provided that the Custodian shall have obtained written
confirmation from the Fund of the approval of the Board of Directors or other
governing body of the Fund (which approval may be withheld in the sole
discretion of such Board of Directors or other governing body or entity) with
respect to (i) the identity of any proposed Foreign Subcustodian (including
branch designation), (ii) the country or countries in which, and the securities
depositories or clearing agencies (hereinafter "Securities Depositories and
Clearing Agencies"), if any, through which, the Custodian or any proposed
Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to hold Securities and other Assets of the
Fund, and (iii) the form and terms of the subcustodian agreement to be entered
into with such proposed Foreign Subcustodian. Each such duly approved Foreign
Subcustodian and the countries where and the Securities Depositories and
Clearing Agencies through which they may hold Securities and other Assets of the
Fund shall be listed on Appendix A attached hereto, as it may be amended, from
time to time. The Fund shall be responsible for informing the Custodian
sufficiently in advance of a proposed investment which is to be held in a
country in which no Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to act, in order that
there shall be sufficient time for the Custodian, or any Domestic Subcustodian,
to effect the appropriate arrangements with a proposed Foreign Subcustodian,

                                       16

including obtaining approval as provided in this Section 5(b). In connection
with the appointment of any Foreign Subcustodian, the Custodian shall, or shall
cause the Domestic Subcustodian to, enter into a subcustodian agreement with the
Foreign Subcustodian in form and substance approved by the Fund. The Custodian
shall not consent to the amendment of, and shall cause any Domestic Subcustodian
not to consent to the amendment of, any agreement entered into with a Foreign
Subcustodian, which materially affects the Fund's rights under such agreement,
except upon prior written approval of the Fund pursuant to Special Instructions.

         (c) Interim Subcustodians.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Fund shall invest
in an Asset to be held in a country in which no Foreign Subcustodian is
authorized to act, the Custodian shall notify the Fund in writing by facsimile
transmission or in such other manner as the Fund and Custodian shall agree in
writing of the unavailability of an approved Foreign Subcustodian in such
country; and upon the receipt of Special Instructions from the Fund, the
Custodian shall, or shall cause its Domestic Subcustodian to, appoint or approve
an entity (referred to herein as an n Interim Subcustodian") designated in such
Special Instructions to hold such Security or other Asset.

         (d) Special Subcustodians.

         Upon receipt of Special Instructions, the Custodian shall, on behalf of
the Fund, appoint one or more banks, trust companies or other entities
designated in such Special Instructions to act for the Custodian on behalf of
the Fund as a subcustodian for purposes of: (i) effecting third-party repurchase
transactions with banks, brokers, dealers or other entities through the use of a
common custodian or subcustodian; (ii) providing depository and clearing agency
services with respect to certain variable rate demand note Securities, (iii)
providing depository and clearing agency services with respect to dollar
denominated Securities, and (iv) effecting any other transactions designated by
the Fund in such Special Instructions. Each such designated subcustodian
(hereinafter referred to as a "Special Subcustodian") shall be listed on
Appendix A attached hereto, as it may be amended from time to time. In
connection with the appointment of any Special Subcustodian, the Custodian shall
enter into a subcustodian agreement with the Special Subcustodian in form and
substance approved by the Fund in Special Instructions. The Custodian shall not
amend any subcustodian agreement entered into with a Special Subcustodian, or
waive any rights under such agreement, except upon prior approval pursuant to
Special Instructions.

receipt of Special Instructions, the Custodian will terminate any Subcustodian
in accordance with the termination provisions under the applicable subcustodian
agreement.

         (f) Certification Regarding Foreign Subcustodians.

         Upon request of the Fund, the Custodian shall deliver to the Fund a

Depositories and Clearing Agencies through which each such Foreign Subcustodian
is then holding cash, Securities and other Assets of the Fund; and (iii) such
other information as may be requested by the Fund, and as the Custodian shall be
reasonably able to obtain, to evidence compliance with rules and regulations
under the 1940 Act.

         6. STANDARD OF CARE.

         (a) General Standard of Care.

         The Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for all losses, damages and
reasonable costs and expenses suffered or incurred by the Fund resulting from

event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential
damages arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

(i) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the
United States of America, or any state thereof, or of any foreign country, or

contrary thereto); or (ii) any event beyond the control of the Custodian or
other Person such as armed conflict, riots, strikes, lockouts,

                                       18
<PAGE>

labor disputes, equipment or transmission failures, natural disasters, or
failure of the mails, transportation, communications or power supply; or (iii)
any "Sovereign Risk." A "Sovereign Risk" shall mean nationalization,
expropriation, devaluation, revaluation, confiscation, seizure, cancellation,
destruction or similar action by any governmental authority, de facto or de
jure; or enactment, promulgation, imposition or enforcement by any such
governmental authority of currency restrictions, exchange controls, taxes,
levies or other charges affecting the Fund's Assets; or acts of armed conflict,
terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or any other act or event beyond the

         (c) Liability for Past Records.

         Neither the Custodian nor any Domestic Subcustodian shall have any
liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Fund,

         The Custodian and any Domestic Subcustodian may rely upon the advice of
the Fund and upon statements of the Fund's accountants and other persons
believed by it in good faith to be expert in matters upon which they are
consulted, and neither the Custodian nor any Domestic Subcustodian shall be
liable for any actions taken or omitted, in good faith, pursuant to such advice
or statements.

         (f) Instructions Appearing to be Genuine.

         The Custodian and all Domestic Subcustodians shall be fully protected
and indemnified in acting as a custodian hereunder upon any Resolutions of the
Board of Directors or Trustees, Instructions, Special Instructions, advice,
notice, request, consent, certificate, instrument or paper appearing to it to be
genuine and to have been properly executed and shall, unless otherwise

         (g) Exceptions from Liabilities.

         Without limiting the generality of any other provisions hereof, neither
the Custodian nor any Domestic Subcustodian shall be under any duty or
obligation to inquire into, nor be liable for:

         (i) the validity of the issue of any Securities purchased by or for the
         Fund, the legality of the purchase thereof or evidence of ownership
         required to be received by the Fund, or the propriety of the decision
         to purchase or amount paid therefor;

         (ii) the legality of the sale of any Securities by or for the Fund, or
         the propriety of the amount for which the same were sold; or

         (iii) any other expenditures, encumbrances of Securities, borrowings or
         similar actions with respect to the Fund's Assets;

         and may, until notified to the contrary, presume that all Instructions
         or Special Instructions received by it are not in conflict with or in
         any way contrary to any provisions of the Fund's Declaration of Trust,
         Partnership Agreement, Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or votes or
         proceedings of the shareholders, trustees, partners or directors of the
         Fund, or the Fund's currently effective Registration Statement on file
         with the SEC.

         7. LIABILITY OP THE CUSTODIAN FOR ACTIONS OF OTHERS.

         (a) Domestic Subcustodians

         The Custodian shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any Domestic
Subcustodian to the same extent as if such actions or omissions were performed
by the Custodian itself.

         (b) Liability for Acts and Omissions of Foreign Subcustodians.

         The Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for any loss or damage to the
Fund caused by or resulting from the acts or omissions of any Foreign
Subcustodian to the extent that, under the terms set forth in the subcustodian
agreement between the Custodian or a Domestic Subcustodian and such Foreign
Subcustodian, the Foreign Subcustodian has failed to perform in accordance with
the standard of conduct imposed under such subcustodian agreement and the
Custodian or Domestic Subcustodian

                                       20

<PAGE>



recovers from the Foreign Subcustodian under the applicable subcustodian

                  Subcustodians, Securities Depositories and clearing
                  Agencies.

         The Custodian shall not be liable to the Fund for any loss, damage or
expense suffered or incurred by the Fund resulting from or occasioned by the
actions or omissions of a Securities System, Interim Subcustodian, Special
Subcustodian, or Securities Depository and Clearing Agency unless such loss,
damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence or willful
misfeasance of the Custodian.

         (d) Defaults or Insolvency's of Brokers, Banks, Etc.

         The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense
suffered or incurred by the Fund resulting from or occasioned by the actions,
omissions, neglects, defaults or insolvency of any broker, bank, trust company
or any other person with whom the Custodian may deal (other than any of such
entities acting as a Subcustodian, Securities System or Securities Depository
and Clearing Agency, for whose actions the liability of the Custodian is set out
elsewhere in this Agreement) unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by,
or results from, the gross negligence or willful misfeasance of the Custodian.

         (e) Reimbursement of Expenses.

         The Fund agrees to reimburse the Custodian for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Custodian in connection with this
Agreement, but excluding salaries and usual overhead expenses.

         8. INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) Indemnification by Fund.

         Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Fund agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian and its nominees from all losses,
damages and expenses (including attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by the
Custodian or its nominee caused by or arising from actions taken by the
Custodian, its employees or agents in the performance of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any
indemnification obligations undertaken by the Custodian under any relevant
subcustodian agreement; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply
to the extent the Custodian is liable under Sections 6 or 7 hereof.


                                       21
<PAGE>

         If the Fund requires the Custodian to take any action with respect to
Securities, which action involves the payment of money or which may, in the
opinion of the Custodian, result in the Custodian or its nominee assigned to the
Fund being liable for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other
form, the Fund, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to take such
action, shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an amount and form
satisfactory to it.

         (b) Indemnification by Custodian.

         Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and in addition
to the obligations provided in Sections 6 and 7, the Custodian agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, damages and expenses
suffered or incurred by the Fund caused by or resulting from the negligence or
willful misfeasance of the Custodian.

         9. ADVANCES.

         In the event that, pursuant to Instructions, the Custodian or any
Subcustodian, Securities System, or Securities Depository or Clearing Agency
acting either directly or indirectly under agreement with the Custodian (each of
which for purposes of this Section 9 shall be referred to as "Custodian"), makes
any payment or transfer of funds on behalf of the Fund as to which there would
be, at the close of business on the date of such payment or transfer,
insufficient funds held by the Custodian on behalf of the Fund, the Custodian
may, in its discretion without further Instructions, provide an advance
("Advance") to the Fund in an amount sufficient to allow the completion of the
transaction by reason of which such payment or transfer of funds is to be made.
In addition, in the event the Custodian is directed by Instructions to make any
payment or transfer of funds on behalf of the Fund as to which it is
subsequently determined that the Fund has overdrawn its cash account with the
Custodian as of the close of business on the date of such payment or transfer,
said overdraft shall constitute an Advance. Any Advance shall be payable by the
Fund on demand by Custodian, unless otherwise agreed by the Fund and the
Custodian, and shall accrue interest from the date of the Advance to the date of
payment by the Fund to the Custodian at a rate agreed upon in writing from time
to time by the Custodian and the Fund. It is understood that any transaction in
respect of which the Custodian shall have made an Advance, including but not
limited to a foreign exchange contract or transaction in respect of which the
Custodian is not acting as a principal, is for the account of and at the risk of
the Fund, and not, by reason of such Advance, deemed to be a transaction
undertaken by the Custodian for its own account and risk. The Custodian and the
Fund acknowledge that the purpose of Advances is to finance temporarily the
purchase or sale of Securities for prompt delivery in accordance with the
settlement terms of such

                                       22

<PAGE>

transactions or to meet emergency expenses not reasonably foreseeable by the
Fund. The Custodian shall promptly notify the Fund of any Advance. Such
notification shall be sent by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as
the Fund and the Custodian may agree.

         10. LIENS.

         The Bank shall have a lien on the Property in the Custody Account to
secure payment of fees and expenses for the services rendered under this
Agreement. If the Bank advances cash or securities to the Fund for any purpose
or in the event that the Bank or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any
taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with
the performance of its duties hereunder, except such as may arise from its or
its nominee's negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct,
any Property at any time held for the Custody Account shall be security therefor
and the Fund hereby grants security interest therein to the Bank. The Fund shall
promptly reimburse the Bank for any such advance of cash or securities or any
such taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities upon request
for payment, but should the Fund fail to so reimburse the Bank, the Bank shall
be entitled to dispose of such Property to the extent necessary to obtain
reimbursement. The Bank shall be entitled to debit any account of the Fund with
the Bank including, without limitation, the Custody Account, in connection with
any such advance and any interest on such advance as the Bank deems reasonable.

         11. COMPENSATION.

         The Fund will pay to the Custodian such compensation as is agreed to in
writing by the Custodian and the Fund from time to time. Such compensation,
together with all amounts for which the Custodian is to be reimbursed in
accordance with Section 7(e), shall be billed to the Fund and paid in cash to
the Custodian.

         12. POWERS OF ATTORNEY.

         Upon request, the Fund shall deliver to the Custodian such proxies,
powers of attorney or other instruments as may be reasonable and necessary or
desirable in connection with the performance by the Custodian or any
Subcustodian of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any
applicable subcustodian agreement.

         13. TERMINATION AND ASSIGNMENT.

         The Fund or the Custodian may terminate this Agreement by notice in
writing, delivered or mailed, postage prepaid (certified mail, return receipt
requested) to the other not less than 90 days prior to the date upon which such
termination shall

                  Re:      Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have examined the Articles of  Incorporation  and Bylaws of
Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc. (the "Company"),  a Maryland  corporation formed on
October 16, 1997 and other proceedings of the Company that we deem material.  We
have  also  examined  the  Notification  of  Registration  and the  Registration
Statement  to be filed under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940  ("Investment
Company Act") and the  Securities  Act of 1933  ("Securities  Act"),  as well as
other items we deem material to this opinion.

                  The Company is authorized by its Articles of  Incorporation to
issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share. The Articles
of  Incorporation  authorize  the Board of  Directors  to divide the shares into
separate series and to divide the series into separate classes.

November 21, 1997
Page 2

                  The  Company's  filing with the U.S.  Securities  and Exchange
Commission of its Registration  Statement under the Securities Act will register
an indefinite number of shares of its common stock pursuant to the provisions of
Rule 24f-2 under the  Investment  Company Act. You have further  advised us that
each year hereafter the Company will timely file a Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2
perfecting  the  registration  of the shares of common stock sold by the Company
during each fiscal year.

                  You have also  informed us that the shares of common  stock of
the  Company  will be sold in  accordance  with the  Company's  usual  method of
distributing its registered shares of common stock, under which prospectuses are
made  available  for  delivery  to  offerees  and  purchasers  of such shares in
accordance with Section 5(b) of the Securities Act.

                  Based upon the foregoing  information and  examination,  it is
our opinion  that the Company is a valid and  subsisting  corporation  under the
laws of the State of Maryland, and that the shares of the Company's common stock
when issued for the consideration set by the Board of Directors  pursuant to the
Articles of  Incorporation,  and subject to compliance with Rule 24f-2,  will be
legally outstanding,  fully-paid,  and non-assessable  shares of common stock of
the Company and the holders of such shares will have all the rights provided for
with respect to such holding by the  Articles of  Incorporation  and the laws of
the State of Maryland.

                  We hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange  Commission as an exhibit to the Company's  Registration
Statement  under  the  Securities  Act,  and  to  any  reference  to us in  such
Registration Statement as legal counsel who have passed upon the legality of the
offering of the Company's  shares of common stock. We also consent to the filing
of this opinion with the securities  regulatory  agencies of any states or other
jurisdictions in which shares of the Company are offered for sale.

                                                 Very truly yours,

                                         STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP
