PAX WORLD MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.
Pax World Money Market Fund, Inc. is a no-load,  open-end management  investment
company  registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund has three
classes of stock  authorized,  the Individual  Investor Class, the Institutional
Class and the Broker  Service Class.  The  Individual  Investor Class shares are
subject to a service  fee  pursuant to the Fund's  Rule 12b-1  Distribution  and
Service Plan and are sold through financial intermediaries who provide servicing
to Individual  Investor Class  shareholders for which they receive  compensation
from Pax World Management Corp. (the "Advisor"),  Reich & Tang Asset Management,
L.P.  (the   "Sub-Advisor"),   or  Reich  &  Tang   Distributors,   Inc.   ("the
Distributor").  The Institutional  Class shares are not subject to a service fee
and either are sold  directly to  Institutional  Investors  or are sold  through
financial  intermediaries  that do not receive  compensation  from the  Advisor,
Sub-Advisor or the Distributor. The Broker Service Class shares are subject to a
service fee pursuant to the Fund's 12b-1  Distribution  and Service Plan and are
sold through  financial  intermediaries  who provide servicing to Broker Service
Class  shareholders for which they receive  compensation  from the Advisor,  the
Sub-Advisor or the  Distributor.  The Broker Service Class shares are subject to
an additional  sub-transfer  agent  accounting fee. In all other  respects,  the
Individual Class,  Institutional Class and Broker Service Class shares represent
the same  interest  in the income and assets of the Fund.  The Fund's  financial
statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles for investment companies as follows:

     a) Valuation of Securities -
     Investments are valued at amortized cost.  Under this valuation  method,  a
     portfolio  instrument  is valued at cost and any  discount  or  premium  is
     amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the instrument.

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

     c) Dividends and Distributions -
     Dividends from investment income (including net realized short-term capital
     gains) are declared daily and paid monthly.  Capital gains distributions if
     any,  will be made at least  annually and in no event later than sixty days
     after the end of the Fund's fiscal year.

     d) Organization Costs -
     Organization  expenses are being  deferred and amortized on a straight line
     basis  over a  period  of  five  years  from  the  Fund's  commencement  of
     operations.  The proceeds of any redemptions by the original shareholder of
     the  initial  shares  will be  reduced  by a pro rata  portion  of any then
     unamortized  organizational  expenses,  based on the  ratio  of the  shares
     redeemed to the total initial shares  outstanding  immediately prior to the
     redemption.

     e) Use of Estimates -
     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in
     net assets from  operations  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results
     could differ from those estimates.

     f) General -
     Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income
     is  accrued  as  earned.   Realized   gains  and  losses  from   securities
     transactions  are recorded on the identified  cost basis.  It is the Fund's
     policy to take  possession of securities  as  collateral  under  repurchase
     agreements  and to  determine  on a daily  basis  that  the  value  of such
     securities are sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements.
