                            THE BASICS ABOUT THE FUND

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

THE FUND'S          Long-term  growth  of  capital.  Current  income  is  not  a
INVESTMENT          significant  investment  consideration,  and any such income
OBJECTIVE IS:       realized  will  be  considered   incidental  to  the  Fund's
                    investment objective.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE FUND'S          o    Normally  investing  at least 95% of the  Fund's  total
PRINCIPAL                assets in the common stock of  companies  listed on the
INVESTMENT               AMIDEX ISRAEL  TECHNOLOGY(TM)Index  (the "Index").  The
STRATEGIES ARE:          Index  is a  new  index  tracking  the  performance  of
                         smaller  market   capitalization   Israeli   Technology
                         Companies  traded on the NASDAQ.  An explanation of the
                         Index can be found at page 4 of this prospectus;
                    o    Employing a "passive  management" approach to investing
                         the Fund's  assets.  This means that the Fund  normally
                         will invest in all of the  companies  in the Index,  in
                         approximately  the same  percentages as those companies
                         are  represented  in  the  Index.  By  replicating  the
                         composition  of the  Index,  the  Fund  seeks  also  to
                         replicate the performance of the Index.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE PRINCIPAL       o    GENERAL RISK- As is the case with most investments, you
RISKS OF                 may lose  money by  investing  in the Fund.  The Fund's
INVESTING IN             share prices will fluctuate each day,  depending on the
THE FUND ARE:            changing value of the  securities  making up the Fund's
                         portfolio.  On any given day,  your shares may be worth
                         less than what you paid for them.
                    o    STOCK RISK- The Fund invests in the stocks of companies
                         included  in the  Index,  all  of  which  trade  on the
                         NASDAQ. A company's stock that is included in the Index
                         may fall because of problems with the company or for no
                         readily apparent reason.  Further, the stock market may
                         suffer  a  general  decline   resulting  from  changing
                         economic  or  political  conditions,  or from a lack of
                         investor confidence.  In the past, stocks and the stock
                         market have  recovered,  but some stock  market  slumps
                         have lasted for months and even years.
                    o    DIVERSIFICATION  RISK- The Fund is a  "non-diversified"
                         Fund because it primarily invests in the companies that
                         are  included  in the  Index.  The  Index  normally  is
                         limited  to  approximately  35  companies,  and some of
                         those  companies  represent a large  percentage  of the
                         Index.  When the Index was first calculated on November
                         1st,  2000, 6 Index  companies  individually  comprised
                         more than 5% of the Index  and  together  made up about
                         49.85% of the Index.  Investing a larger  percentage of
                         the  Fund's  assets  in a  relatively  small  number of
                         companies  can be riskier  than  investing in a broader
                         variety of securities  because poor  performance  by an
                         individual  company held by the Fund will have a larger
                         negative  impact on the Fund due to the Fund's  lack of
                         diversification.
                    o    INDEX  RISK- The Fund  invests  almost  exclusively  in
                         Index  companies.  Also, once the Fund invests in Index
                         companies,  it stays invested in those companies for as
                         long as they remain in the Index. As a result, the Fund
                         does not predict which stocks will outperform- or under
                         perform,  the market.  If the Index stocks  decrease in
                         value,  the Fund decreases in value.  Also, some of the
                         companies   in  the  Index  may  not  have  a  vigorous
                         secondary trading market.  As a result,  the Fund could
                         experience  difficulties in timely buying or selling of
                         these securities, which could have a negative impact on
                         the Fund.
                    o    PORTFOLIO  TURNOVER  RISK- The Index is adjusted to add
                         or delete  companies  twice a year. As companies  leave
                         and enter  the  Index,  the  Fund's  portfolio  will be
                         adjusted to match the current Index  composition.  This
                         practice can result in the realization of capital gains
                         or losses and can have adverse tax consequences for you
                         as an investor.
                    o    SMALL  COMPANY  RISK-  The  companies  in the Index are
                         generally  smaller  companies.  Small companies usually
                         don't have the depth of resources that large  companies
                         have to see them  through hard times.  Also,  investors
                         may be more  reluctant to invest in smaller  companies.
                         As a  result,  small  company  stocks  tend  to be more
                         volatile than the stocks of larger companies.
                    o    SECTOR  RISK-  All  the  companies  in  the  Index  are
                         identified as belonging to the  "Technology"  Sector of
                         the market.  Companies  belonging to this Sector of the
                         market offer products and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                               2

                         services   such  as  office  and  business   equipment,
                         computer  hardware,  software  and  peripherals,   mass
                         storage  devices,  semiconductors,  data networking and
                         telecommunications,  and internet  related products and
                         services.  Investing a single  market sector is riskier
                         that investing a variety of market sectors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE FUND            Based  on its  research  into  the  performance  of  Israeli
INVESTS IN          companies trading on the U. S. Exchanges, the Fund's Adviser
INDEX               believes that the  companies in the Index are  experiencing,
SECURITIES          or have the potential to experience,  above-average  capital
BECAUSE:            growth.  The Adviser  believes that  investing  primarily in
                    Index   companies   will  allow  the  Fund  to  achieve  its
                    investment  objective  of capital  growth over the long term
                    because the companies in the Index have all been  identified
                    by the  Adviser  as high  growth  potential  companies.  You
                    should be aware that there is no assurance  the Adviser will
                    be successful in achieving the Fund's objectives,  since all
                    investments involve risks.

THIS  TABLE  DESCRIBES  THE  FEES AND  EXPENSES  YOU MAY PAY IF YOU BUY AND HOLD
SHARES OF THE FUND.

SHAREHOLDER FEES:

(Fees paid directly from your investment)

MAXIMUM SALES CHARGE (LOAD)
IMPOSED ON PURCHASES                                NONE
(As a percentage of offering price)
MAXIMUM DEFERRED SALES
CHARGE (LOAD)                                       NONE
(As a percentage of redemption proceeds)
REDEMPTION FEES                                    1.00%(1)

1.   You will be  charged a  redemption  fee equal to 1.00% of the net amount of
     your redemption if you redeem your shares less than 365 calendar days after
     you buy them,  unless  the Fund  agrees  to waive  the fee.  If this fee is
     imposed,  it will raise the  expenses of your  shares.  This fee is imposed
     only to  discourage  short-term  trading of Fund  shares.  Such fees,  when
     imposed, are credited directly to the assets of the Fund to help defray the
     expense to the Fund of such short-term trading  activities.  These fees are
     never used to pay for distribution or sales fees.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES:
------------------------------
(Expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)

MANAGEMENT FEES                           (1)       0.50%
DISTRIBUTION & SERVICING (12b-1) FEES     (2)       0.25%

---------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL ANNUAL FUND
OPERATING EXPENSES                                  1.45%
=========================================================

1.   Management  fees include a fee of 0.50% for  investment  advisory  services
     provided to the Fund by the Fund's Adviser.
2.   Because  12b-1  fees are paid out of the  assets of the Fund on an  ongoing
     basis,  over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and
     may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
3.   These  fees  include an annual  fee of 0.70 % for  administrative  services
     provided to the Fund by the Fund's  Adviser.  Under  normal  circumstances,
     most  expenses of the Fund are the  contractual  obligation of the Adviser.
     Accordingly,  the Fund does not anticipate  incurring any additional "Other
     Expenses" during its first year.

                                                                               3

                        ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT INFORMATION

The Fund's principal  investment  objectives and strategies have been set out in
the  "Basics  About  the Fund"  Section  of this  Prospectus.  What  follows  is
additional  information  that you should know  concerning your investment in the
Fund.

Under normal circumstances,  the Fund will invest at least 95% of its net assets
in the common stocks of the companies comprising the Index, in approximately the
same  percentages  as those  companies are included in the Index.  You should be
aware  that the Index is a new index,  and no  historical  performance  data are
available for the Index.

Any Fund assets that are not  invested  in Index  companies  will be invested in
short term, high quality debt instruments such as money market funds, short-term
US Government securities, and investment grade quality corporate securities.

Investing  the Fund's assets  primarily in Index  companies is not a fundamental
policy of the Fund.  The  Board of  Directors  of the Fund may vote to change or
eliminate  the  percentages  of Fund assets  invested in Index  companies and to
choose  other  investment  strategies.  If the Board  votes to change the Fund's
investment strategies, we will notify you in writing at least 30 days before the
changes  take  place.  If you decide to redeem your shares as a result of such a
change,  you will not be charged any redemption fees, even if you have held your
shares for less than 365 days. If you would like to get  additional  information
about all of the Fund's fundamental and non-fundamental  investment policies and
restrictions,   they  can  be  found  in  the  Fund's  Statement  of  Additional
Information   ("SAI")  in  the  Section  entitled,   "Investment   Policies  and
Restrictions."

                       AMIDEX(TM) ISRAEL TECHNOLOGY INDEX

AMIDEX(TM)  Israel  Technology  Index is a new,  unmanaged  Index. The companies
included  in the Index are smaller  market  capitalization  "Israeli  Technology
Companies" whose stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ.

What is an "Israel Technology Company"?
---------------------------------------
To be an  "Israel  Technology  Company",  a company  has to  satisfy  ALL of the
following requirements:

1.   Its stock is traded on the NASDAQ  over-the-counter  market and the company
     has been listed by the Israeli  financial  newspaper,  Globes as one of the
     "Israeli shares traded on the New York Bourse." (if Globes stops publishing
     a list of  "Israeli  shares  traded on the New York  Bourse,"  the Board of
     Directors will select an  alternative  publication  that similarly  defines
     such companies); and
2.   The company is  designated by  Bloomberg,  L.P. or a comparable  nationally
     recognized financial data provider as being in a Technology Sector; and
3.   The company is not listed as a company  included in the  AMIDEX35(TM)Index.
     The  AMIDEX35(TM)Index  is an index  of the 35  largest  Israeli  companies
     (measured by market  capitalization),  traded  either on the Tel Aviv Stock
     Exchange or the U.S. exchanges; and
4.   It must have maintained an adequate average daily trading volume,  and must
     have been publicly traded for at least 60 days before the index  adjustment
     date, and
5.   It may not be listed in the U.S. as an ADR or ADS.

                                                                               4
<PAGE>

The largest (as  measured by market  capitalization)  35 Israel  companies  that
satisfy all of the criteria  described above will be included in the Index.  You
should be aware  that the Index  might  contain  more or less than 35  companies
during certain  periods of the year. If less than 35 Israeli  companies meet the
criteria for inclusion at the beginning of an  adjustment  date,  then the Index
will contain only those companies that qualify.  The Index is adjusted to add or
delete  companies,  as necessary on or about  November 30th and May 31st of each
year.

If a company ceases operation, is de-listed on the NASDAQ, or becomes insolvent,
it will be  immediately  deleted from the Index and not replaced  until the next
adjustment  date. If a single company splits into multiple  companies,  all such
companies will be included in the Index until the Index is readjusted,  at which
time each company's  individual  qualifications to be included in the Index will
be determined.

An  "unmanaged"  index means that the criteria for inclusion of companies in the
Index are  objective  and not subject to arbitrary  change,  so that any company
that is eligible for  inclusion  in the Index must be included,  and any company
that ceases to qualify for inclusion in the Index must be deleted.

The Index is a market  capitalization  index.  Market  capitalization  means the
total  current  U.S.  dollar value of a company's  outstanding  shares of common
stock,  and is calculated by  multiplying  the number of  outstanding  shares of
common stock of a company by the price of that common stock.

The Index began being calculated on November 1st, 2000 at an initial Index Value
of 1,000. The Index name,  rules,  methods of calculation,  and proprietary data
are owned by the Adviser.  The Adviser  developed  the criteria and the rules of
operation for the Index.  The Adviser has entered into  agreements  with various
companies  to  construct,  calculate  and  publish  the Index.  Bloomberg,  L.P.
performed  the initial  calculations  needed to create the Index and selects the
companies  that will be  included  in or deleted  from the  Index,  based on the
criteria  described  above.  Bloomberg,  L.P. is responsible for maintaining and
publishing  the Index.  Bloomberg,  L.P. has no  affiliation  with the Fund, the
Adviser, or any of the Fund's other service providers,  and currently calculates
and  publishes  the AMIDEX35  Index.  The Adviser may, if  necessary,  select an
alternative  independent company to calculate,  maintain or publish the Index in
the future.

When  companies  are added to or deleted from the Index,  the Adviser will alter
the Fund's  investments to conform the portfolio to the Index.  This will result
in certain risks to the Fund, including the risks of losses and tax consequences
to shareholders  resulting from realized capital gains. You should also be aware
that the Fund will incur  certain  expenses  that are not incurred by the Index,
including  transaction  charges.  Accordingly,  the performance of the Fund will
vary from that of the Index as a result of such expenses.

The Adviser will attempt to maintain a correlation  coefficient of at least 0.95
in performance  between the Index and the Fund. This means that the Adviser will
attempt to replicate at least 95% of the Index's  performance.  The Adviser will
be responsible for tracking the Fund's performance, under the supervision of the
Company's  Board of Directors.  If the Fund fails to achieve a 0.95  correlation
coefficient,  the Board will take action to rectify  whatever problem is causing
the  discrepancy,  including,  as an  example,  altering  the  Fund's  servicing
arrangements  to reduce Fund expense  ratios or changing  the Fund's  investment
strategy of investing in the Index.

The Adviser has determined  that, in order to construct the Fund's  portfolio to
reflect  the  performance  of the Index,  the Fund must have  approximately  $25
million in net  assets.  Until such asset  levels are  reached,  the Adviser may
invest Fund assets in a representative sample of Index securities and such other
permissible securities, the Adviser believes will likely track Index performance
most closely.

You  should  be aware  that  there is no  assurance  that  the  Adviser  will be
successful in replicating the  performance of the Index during this period.  You
will find a more  detailed  discussion  of the  Index in the SAI in the  Section
entitled "The Index."

WHY DOES THE FUND INVEST IN ISRAEL TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES?

The State of Israel is a highly developed, industrialized democracy. Since 1990,
Israel's  economy  has  grown  significantly,  presenting  improvement  in  most
economic  indicators.  Israel  has made  substantial  progress  in  opening  its
economy,  including  the removal of its trade  barriers and tariffs.  Israel has
concluded free trade agreements with its

                                                                               5

major  trading  partners  and is the only  nation  that is a party to free trade
agreements  with both the United States and the European  Union. In recent years
Israel has signed  free  trade  agreements  with  Switzerland,  Norway,  Canada,
Turkey, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Poland and Hungary.

The  State of  Israel  has  significantly  improved  its  economic  performance.
Inflation in 1999 fell to 1.3%,  and exports more than doubled  between 1992 and
2000. Israel is a member of a number of international  organizations,  including
the United Nations,  the World Bank Group (including the  International  Finance
Corporation), the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF"), the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development,  and the Inter-American Development Bank. Israel
is a signatory to the General  Agreement  on Tariffs and Trade  ("GATT") of 1947
and 1994,  which  provides for  reciprocal  lowering of trade barriers among its
members. Under GATT, Israel is eligible to receive a number of trade preferences
that are  available  only to  certain  GATT  participants,  including  duty-free
treatment of its exports to certain  countries  pursuant to the GATT Generalized
System of Preferences.

Israel is not only rich in research, technology and intellectual investment, but
also is the only  democratic  nation in the Middle  East.  The influx of venture
capital,  the infusion of human resources (Israel's population nearly doubled in
the last 15 years),  and the  conversion of the economic  focus from military to
commercial  (defense spending dropped from about 30% of GNP in 1973 to less than
8.14% in  1998),  have led many to  believe  that  Israel  is the next  "Silicon
Valley." There has been a dramatic  increase in the number of Israeli  companies
trading on U.S. Exchanges, particularly the NASDAQ.

Israel is third,  behind only the U.S.  and Canada,  in the number of  companies
traded on Wall Street. More than 100 Israeli companies trade shares on the major
U.S.  exchanges.  In Israel, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange now lists more than 665
companies and over 1,000  securities,  with a current market  capitalization  of
about $80 billion.

In 1999,  Israel exported $9.9 billion of technology  related  products.  Israel
leads all foreign nations in receipt of venture capital from abroad,  and in the
number of high tech  start-ups per year. In the first 6 months of the year 2000,
Israel received more than $12 billion of direct foreign investment.

These dramatic developments present a new and relatively unexploited opportunity
for equity investment.  Currently,  there is only one other U.S. based, open-end
fund available as a vehicle for investment in Israeli securities. That Fund, the
AMIDEX35 Mutual Fund (AMDEX,  AMDAX,  AMDCX) is an index-based fund also offered
by AMIDEX(TM) Funds, Inc. that invests in the stocks comprising the AMIDEX35(TM)
Index,  and  index of the 35  largest  Israeli  companies  (measured  by  market
capitalization),  traded  either  on the Tel  Aviv  Stock  Exchange  or the U.S.
exchanges.  The  AMIDEX  Israel  Technology  Fund is  currently  the  only  fund
investing  exclusively in U.S. traded Israeli  technology  companies through the
AMIDEX(TM) Israel Technology Index.

                          THE FUND'S INVESTMENT ADVISER

TransNations  Investments,  LLC, 26 Broadway, Suite 741, New York, NY 10004 (the
"Adviser"),  has entered into an Investment  Advisory  Agreement  (the "Advisory
Agreement") with the Fund to provide investment management services to the Fund.
In addition,  the Adviser has entered into an Operating  Services Agreement (the
"Services  Agreement")  with  the  Fund  to  provide  virtually  all  day-to-day
operational  services to the Fund. The Adviser is registered with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  as an  investment  adviser,  and also  serves  as the
investment  adviser to the  AMIDEX35  (TM) Mutual  Fund.  The Adviser was formed
specifically  to  serve  as  investment  adviser  to the  Company's  funds,  and
rendering  investment  advice  to  funds  is  currently  the  Adviser's  primary
business.  Mr. Clifford A. Goldstein is President and Chief Executive Officer of
the  Adviser.  Boaz  Rahav  is the  Fund  Manager,  and is  responsible  for all
investment  decisions  relating to the Fund.  Mr.  Goldstein  also serves as the
President and as a Director of AMIDEX Funds, Inc.

The Portfolio Manager.
---------------------
The Fund is an index fund.  Rather than relying on any one manager or management
team to "pick" stocks,  the Fund is managed  "passively"  by normally  investing
only in the companies comprising the Index in approximately the same percentages
as each  company  represents  in the Index.  Mr. Boaz Rahav  serves as portfolio
manager to the Fund.  Mr. Rahav also has served as the portfolio  manager of the
AMIDEX35(TM)Mutual  Fund since that fund's  inception  (06/08/99).  Prior to his
current position, Mr. Rahav last served as Chief Economist for the Government of
Israel

                                                                               6

Ministry  of  Finance  in New York from  1996-1999.  Mr.  Rahav has over 8 years
experience in Israeli financial markets, having worked for a large institutional
brokerage  house in Israel as a trader and as a Fund  Manager from 1994 to 1996.
Previously,  Mr.  Rahav worked from 1991 to 1993 for the  Federation  of Israeli
Chambers  of  Commerce.  Mr.  Rahav  also  served  from  1987  to  1990  in  the
Intelligence Wing of the Israeli Air Force. Mr. Rahav has a business degree from
the Tel Aviv College of Business,  an MBA (with  distinguished  honors) from the
New York Institute of Technology, an Investment Adviser and Analyst Diploma from
Tel Aviv University,  and a Trader Certificate from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
Mr. Rahav joined the Adviser in February  1999. Mr. Rahav holds Series 63, and 7
licenses with the NASD.

The Adviser  invests the assets of the Fund  according to the Fund's  investment
objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Fund pays the Adviser a fee, accrued
daily and payable monthly,  at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's net assets.
The Adviser  furnishes  at its own expense  office  space to the Company and all
necessary office facilities, equipment, and personnel for managing the assets of
the Fund.

The Adviser pays all  expenses  incident to the Fund's  operations  and business
except  expenses  relating to legal fees  resulting from  litigation,  brokerage
expenses, taxes, if any, and other extraordinary charges.

                                  DDA#199456831
                For Account: Amidex Israel Technology Index Fund

Each time you make a purchase,  you will receive a statement  showing the number
of shares  purchased,  the net asset value at which your shares were  purchased,
and the new  balance  of Fund  shares  owned.  The  Fund  does not  issue  stock
certificates. All full and fractional shares will be carried on the books of the
Fund.

MINIMUM INVESTMENTS
The minimum  initial  investment  is $2500 for ordinary  accounts  and.$1000 for
Individual  Retirement  Accounts (IRAs) and other pension accounts and custodial
accounts  for  minors.  $250 is the  minimum  subsequent  purchase  for  regular
accounts,  and $250 is the  minimum  subsequent  investment  for IRA, or pension
accounts or custodial accounts for minors.

Firstar Bank, 425 Walnut Street, 6th Floor,  Cincinnati,  Ohio 45202,  serves as
the custodian for the  tax-deferred  accounts  offered by the Fund.  You will be
charged  an  annual   account   maintenance   fee  of  $12  for  each   taxpayer
identification  number no matter how many  tax-deferred  accounts  you have with
AMIDEX. You may pay the fee by check or have it automatically deducted from your
account  (usually in  December).  The  custodian  serves the right to change the
amount  of this fee or to waive  it in  whole  or in part for  certain  types of
accounts.

All  applications  to purchase  shares of the Fund are subject to  acceptance by
authorized  officers of the Fund and are not binding  until  accepted.  The Fund
reserves the right to reject purchase orders under circumstances or in amounts

                                                                               7

considered disadvantageous to existing shareholders.  Please see the Sections of
the SAI entitled  "Purchasing and Redeeming  Shares" and "Tax  Information"  for
more information concerning share purchases.

ACCOUNT MINIMUMS
Due to the proportionately  higher costs of maintaining small accounts, the Fund
reserves  the right to deduct a $10  minimum  balance fee (or the whole value of
the  account if less than $10) from  accounts  with  values  below the  minimums
described on the previous page or to close such accounts. This policy will apply
to accounts  participating in the Automatic Monthly  Investment  Program only if
your account balance does not reach the required  minimum initial  investment or
falls below such minimum and you have  discontinued  monthly  investments.  This
policy  does not apply to  accounts  that fall  below the  minimums  solely as a
result of market value  fluctuations.  It is expected that, for purposes of this
policy,  accounts will be valued in September,  and the $10 fee will be assessed
on the second Friday of September of each year.  You will receive  notice before
we  charge  the $10 fee or close  your  account  so that you may  increase  your
account balance to the required minimum.

You may direct inquiries concerning the Fund to:

                           555 North Lane, Suite 6160

                                 1-888-876-3566

DETERMINING SHARE PRICES
The Fund is open for  business  on each  day  that the New York  Stock  Exchange
("NYSE") is open. The Fund's share price or net asset value per share ("NAV") is
normally  determined as of 4:00 p.m.,  New York time.  The Fund's share price is
calculated by subtracting its liabilities  from the closing fair market value of
its  total  assets  and  dividing  the  result  by the  total  number  of shares
outstanding on that day. Fund liabilities include accrued expenses and dividends
payable,  and its  total  assets  include  the  market  value  of the  portfolio
securities  as well as  income  accrued  but not yet  received.  Since  the Fund
generally  does not charge  sales or  redemption  fees,  the NAV is the offering
price  for  shares of the Fund.  Shares of the Fund are  purchased  at their net
asset value and are next computed  after  receipt of your purchase  order or the
transfer of your assets from the Money Market Fund to the Fund.

The Fund's  net asset  value is  determined  on days on which the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading.  The Fund is a No-Load  Fund.  This means that you
will not be charged any sales commissions or underwriting discounts.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution,  or "12b-1 Plan" under which it may
finance activities  primarily intended to sell shares. Under the 12b-1 Plan, the
Fund may pay a  distribution  fee at an  annual  rate of up to 0.25% of  average
daily net assets of the Fund to the Adviser for services  primarily  intended to
sell shares and for  providing  certain  shareholder  services.  These  services
include,  among other things,  processing new shareholder account  applications,
preparing and  transmitting  to the Fund's  Transfer Agent computer  processable
tapes of all  transactions  by customers,  and serving as the primary  source of
information  to customers in answering  questions  concerning the Fund and their
transactions with the Fund.

Payments  under  the 12b-1  Plan are not tied  exclusively  to the  distribution
and/or shareholder servicing expenses actually incurred by the Adviser, and such
payments may exceed the  expenses  actually  incurred.  The  Company's  Board of
Directors  evaluates the Plan on a regular basis. You should be aware that, over
time, 12b-1 fees will increase the costs of your investment,  and may eventually
cost you more than other types of sales charges.

REDEEMING SHARES
You may  redeem  your  shares in the Fund at any time and for any  reason.  Upon
receipt by the Fund of a redemption  request in proper form,  your shares of the
Fund will be  redeemed  at their next  determined  net asset  value.  Redemption
requests must be in writing and delivered to the Fund at:

                                                                               8
<PAGE>

                               AMIDEX Funds, Inc.
                            c/o The Declaration Group
                           555 North Lane, Suite 6160
                             Conshohocken, PA 19428.

To be in "proper form," your redemption request must:

1.   Specify the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed,  if less than
     all shares are to be redeemed;
2.   Be signed by all owners exactly as their names appear on the account; and
3.   If required,  include a signature  guarantee  from any "eligible  guarantor
     institution"  as defined by the rules under the Securities  Exchange Act of
     1934.  Eligible guarantor  institutions  include banks,  brokers,  dealers,
     credit  unions,   national  securities  exchanges,   registered  securities
     associations,  clearing agencies and savings associations.  A notary public
     is not an eligible guarantor.

Further  documentation,  such as copies of corporate resolutions and instruments
of authority,  may be requested from  corporations,  administrators,  executors,
personal  representatives,  trustees, or custodians to evidence the authority of
the person or entity making the redemption request.

Signature  Guarantees.  A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and the
Fund by verifying your signature. SIGNATURE GUARANTEES ARE REQUIRED WHEN:
1.   establishing certain services after the account is opened;
2.   requesting redemptions in excess of $10,000;
3.   redeeming or exchanging shares, when proceeds are:
     a.   being mailed to an address other than the address of record,
     b.   made payable to other than the registered owner(s); or
     c.   transferring shares to another owner.

The  redemption  price per share is net asset value per share,  next  determined
after your redemption order is received by the Fund. If you hold your shares for
365 days or longer, there is no redemption charge.  Otherwise, a fee of 1.00% of
the value of your  redeemed  shares will be deducted  from the  proceeds of your
redemption and paid to the Fund. When you redeem your shares,  they may be worth
more or less than you paid for  them,  depending  upon the  value of the  Fund's
portfolio  securities  at the time of  redemption.  If the value of your account
falls  below  $100 as a result of  previous  redemptions  and not  market  price
declines,  the Fund may redeem the shares in your account.  The Fund will notify
you  first if such an event  occurs,  and you  will  have 60 days to bring  your
account  balance up to the  minimum  levels  before the Fund will  exercise  its
option to redeem.  Also, in the event your shares are redeemed by the Fund under
such circumstances,  you will not be charged any redemption fees,  regardless of
the time you have held your shares.

Payment for shares  redeemed is made within seven days after receipt by the Fund
of a request for redemption in proper form. If shares are purchased by check and
redeemed by letter  within seven  business  days of purchase,  the Fund may hold
redemption proceeds until the purchase check has cleared, provided that the Fund
does not hold such  proceeds  for more than 15 calendar  days.  You will also be
subject to a redemption fee of 1.00% of total assets in such a circumstance. The
Fund  reserves  the right to suspend or postpone  redemptions  during any period
when (a) trading on any of the major U.S.  stock  exchanges  is  restricted,  as
determined  by the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  or  that  the  major
exchanges are closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings,  (b)
the Commission has by order permitted such suspension,  or (c) an emergency,  as
determined by the Commission,  exists making disposal of portfolio securities or
valuation of net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable.

EXCHANGE POLICIES
The exchange  privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term or excessive
trading.  The funds do not permit excessive trading or market timing.  Excessive
purchases,  redemptions, or exchange of Fund shares disrupt portfolio management
and drive Fund expenses higher.

Please note the following when exchanging shares:
1.   New  accounts  established  by  exchange  must be opened with $2,500 or the
     total account value if the value of the account you are exchanging  from is
     less than $2,500.

                                                                               9
<PAGE>

2.   Exchanges   between  existing   accounts  must  meet  the  $250  subsequent
     investment requirement.
3.   You may make  four  exchanges  out of each  Fund  during a  calendar  year.
     Exchanges in excess of this limit are considered  excessive trading and may
     be subject to an exchange fee or may result in  termination of the exchange
     privilege or the right to make future purchases of Fund shares.
4.   The Funds  reserve  the  right to reject  any  purchase  order or  exchange
     request and to modify or terminate the exchange  privilege at any time. For
     example,  the Funds may reject  exchanges from accounts engaged in or known
     to  engage  in  excess  of  the  limit  above   (including   market  timing
     transactions) or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to a Fund.
5.   Exchanges  between accounts will be accepted only if the  registrations are
     identical.
6.   If the shares you are  exchanging  are held in  certificate  form, you must
     return the certificate to AMIDEX prior to making any exchanges.
7.   An  exchange  represents  the sale of shares  from one AMIDEX  Fund and the
     purchase of shares of another AMIDEX Fund, which may produce a taxable gain
     or loss in a non-retirement account.

                           DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends  paid  by the  Fund  are  derived  from  net  investment  income.  Net
investment  income  will be  distributed  at  least  annually.  The  Fund's  net
investment  income is made up of  dividends  received  from the stocks and other
securities  it  holds,  as well  as  interest  accrued  and  paid  on any  other
obligations that might be held in the Fund's portfolio.

The Fund  realizes  capital gains when it sells a security for more than it paid
for it. The Fund may make distributions of its net realized capital gains (after
any reductions for capital loss carry forwards), generally, once a year.

Unless you elect to have your dividends and/or  distributions paid in cash, your
distributions  will be  reinvested  in  additional  shares of the Fund.  You may
change the manner in which your dividends are paid at any time by writing to the
Transfer Agent.

                               TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal
Revenue Code so as to be relieved of federal income tax on its capital gains and
net investment income currently distributed to its shareholders. To qualify as a
regulated investment company, the Fund must, among other things, derive at least
90% of its gross  income from  dividends,  interest,  payments  with  respect to
securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities,
or other income  derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock
or  securities,   and  distribute  substantially  all  of  such  income  to  its
shareholders at least annually.

The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders all net investment income and any
net capital gains realized from sales of the Fund's portfolio securities at such
times  and in such  amounts  as to avoid all  taxes,  both  state  and  federal.
Dividends from net  investment  income and  distributions  from any net realized
capital gains are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund unless you request
in writing to have them paid by check.  Dividends from investment income and net
short-term  capital  gains are  generally  taxable  to you as  ordinary  income.
Distributions of long-term  capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains
regardless  of the  length  of time that  shares  in the Fund  have  been  held.
Distributions  are taxable,  whether received in cash or reinvested in shares of
the Fund.

You will be advised annually of the source of  distributions  for federal income
tax  purposes.  If you  fail to  furnish  your  Social  Security  or  other  tax
identification number or to certify properly that it is correct, the Fund may be
required to withhold federal income tax at the rate of 31% (backup  withholding)
from your dividend,  capital gain and redemption payments.  Dividend and capital
gain payments may also be subject to backup  withholding  if you fail to certify
properly   that  you  are  not  subject  to  backup   withholding   due  to  the
under-reporting of certain income.

Distributions by the Fund will result in a reduction in the fair market value of
the Fund's shares. Should a distribution reduce the fair market value below your
cost basis, such distribution would be taxable to you as ordinary income or as a
long-term  capital  gain,  even though,  from an investment  standpoint,  it may
constitute a partial return of capital. In particular,  you should be careful to
consider the tax implications of buying shares of the Fund just prior to a

                                                                              10
<PAGE>

distribution.  The price of such shares  includes the amount of any  forthcoming
distribution  so that you may receive a return of investment  upon  distribution
that will, nevertheless, be taxable.

A redemption  of shares is a taxable event and,  accordingly,  a capital gain or
loss may be recognized. You should consult a tax adviser regarding the effect of
federal,  state,  local,  and foreign taxes on an  investment  in the Fund.  The
information  in this  Prospectus  is not  intended  to be a full  discussion  of
present or future tax  ramifications  of investment  in the Fund,  and investors
should consult their own tax advisers for a detailed and complete  review of tax
ramifications.  In view of the individual nature of tax consequences, you should
consult your own tax adviser with  respect to the specific tax  consequences  of
participation  in the Fund,  including  the effect and  applicability  of state,
local, foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal
or other tax laws.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

The Fund will not issue stock  certificates  evidencing  shares.  Instead,  your
account will be credited with the number of shares  purchased,  relieving you of
responsibility for safekeeping of certificates and the need to deliver them upon
redemption.  Written  confirmations are issued for all purchases of shares.  You
will be  provided  at least  semi-annually  with a  report  showing  the  Fund's
portfolio  and other  information  and  annually  after the close of the  Fund's
fiscal year, which ends December 31, with a report containing  audited financial
statements.  The Fund's  average  annual total return is computed by determining
the average  annual  compounded  rate of return for a specified  period that, if
applied  to  a  hypothetical  $1,000  initial  investment,   would  produce  the
redeemable  value  of  that  investment  at  the  end of  the  period,  assuming
reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions  and with  recognition  of all
recurring  charges.  The Fund may also  utilize a total return  calculation  for
differing periods computed in the same manner but without  annualizing the total
return.

In reports or other communications to investors, or in advertising material, the
Fund may describe general economic and market conditions  affecting the Fund and
may compare its performance with other funds as listed in the rankings  prepared
by  Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc.  or  similar  nationally  recognized  or
international  rating  services  and  financial  publications  that monitor fund
performance.  The Fund may also,  from time to time,  compare its performance to
the Standard & Poor's  Composite  Index of 500 Stocks ("S&P 500"), or some other
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a Code of Ethics (the "Code")
for the Fund, the Adviser and the Fund's principal underwriter. The Code governs
the personal  activities  of persons who may have  knowledge  of the  investment
activities of the Fund, requires that they file regular reports concerning their
personal securities transactions,  and prohibits activities that might result in
harm to the Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing the  implementation of
the Code.  The Fund has  filed  copies  of each  Code  with the  Securities  and

                          ABOUT AMIDEX(TM) FUNDS, INC.

AMIDEX(TM) Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Maryland on April 27,
1999.  The  Company  is  an  open-end  management  investment  company,  and  is
registered as such with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  The Board of
Directors  approves  all  significant  agreements  between  the  Company and the
persons and companies that furnish  services to the Fund,  including  agreements
with the Fund's custodian, transfer agent, investment adviser and administrator.
The  day-to-day  operations  of the  Fund are  delegated  to the  Adviser.  This
Statement of Additional  Information contains background  information  regarding
each of the Company's Directors and Executive  Officers.  The Company's Articles
of Incorporation  permit the Board of Directors to issue  500,000,000  shares of
common  stock.  The Board of Directors  has the power to  designate  one or more
classes  ("series") of shares of common stock and to classify or reclassify  any
unissued  shares  with  respect to such  series.  Currently  , the  Company  has
authorized the issuance of two series of shares,  the  AMIDEX35(TM)  Mutual Fund
and the AMIDEX(TM)  Israel  Technology Index Fund.  Further,  the Board has also
authorized the offering of four classes of shares within each series;  a no-load
class, a Class A share that is offered with a front-end sales charge,  a Class B
share with a declining contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"),  and a Class C
share,  with a one year  CDSC  and an  ongoing  service  and  distribution  fee.
Shareholders  of each share class are entitled:  (i) to one vote per full share;
(ii)  to  such  distributions  as may be  declared  by the  Company's  Board  of
Directors  out of funds  legally  available;  and  (iii)  upon  liquidation,  to
participate  ratably  in the assets  available  for  distribution.  There are no
conversion or sinking fund provisions  applicable to the shares, and the holders
have no  preemptive  rights and may not cumulate  their votes in the election of
Directors. The shares are

                                                                              13

redeemable  and are fully  transferable.  All shares issued and sold by the Fund
will be fully paid and nonassessable.

This SAI pertains only to No-Load  shares of the  AMIDEX(TM)  Israel  Technology
Index Fund (the "Fund").

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a Code of Ethics (the "Code")
for the Fund, the Adviser and the Fund's principal underwriter. The Code governs
the personal  activities  of persons who may have  knowledge  of the  investment
activities of the Fund, requires that they file regular reports concerning their
personal securities transactions,  and prohibits activities that might result in
harm to the Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing the  implementation of
the Code.  The Fund has  filed  copies  of each  Code  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission. Copies of the Codes of Ethics may be reviewed and copied at
the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington,  DC. The Codes are also available
on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's web site (www.sec.gov ). Copies of this
information  can be obtained,  after  paying a  duplicating  fee, by  electronic
request ([email protected]),  or by writing the SEC's Public Reference Section,
Washington, DC 20549-0102.

                      INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

The Fund is a non-diversified Fund. The Investment Company Act of 1940 defines a
diversified fund to mean that as to 75% of the Fund's assets (valued at the time
of investment),  a fund will not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities
of any one issuer, except in obligations of the United States Government and its
agencies and  instrumentalities,  thereby  reducing  the risk of loss.  The Fund
normally  will  invest at least 95% of its net  assets in the  approximately  35
Israeli  companies  that make up the  AMIDEX(TM)  ISRAEL  TECHNOLOGY  Index (the
"Index"),  in approximately the same percentages as those companies represent in
the Index.  It is likely  that a few of these  companies  will  comprise a large
percentage  of the  Fund's  portfolio  holdings--in  excess  of the 25% limit on
holdings in excess of 5%. As a result, the Fund will not be diversified.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. Because this is a new fund without an operating history, the
Fund's portfolio turnover is unknown. Higher portfolio turnover rates may result
in higher rates of net realized  capital gains to the Fund,  thus the portion of
the Fund's distributions  constituting taxable gains may increase.  In addition,
higher portfolio  turnover  activity can result in higher brokerage costs to the
Fund.  The Fund  anticipates  that its  annual  portfolio  turnover  will be not
greater than 75%.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its average net
assets in the common stock of companies listed on the Index. The Fund may invest
the remaining 5% of its assets in the following securities:

COMMON  STOCK.  Common  stock is issued by  companies to raise cash for business
purposes  and  represents  a  proportionate   equity  interest  in  the  issuing
companies.  Therefore,  the Fund  participates  in the success or failure of any
company in which it holds  common  stock.  The market  value of common stock can
fluctuate  significantly,  reflecting  the business  performance  of the issuing
company,   investor  perception,   and  general  economic  or  financial  market
movements. Smaller companies are especially sensitive to these factors. However,
common  stocks  historically  have  offered the greatest  potential  for gain on
investment,  compared to other classes of financial assets.  There is additional
risk inherent in investing in  foreign-based  companies.  The Fund may invest in
the common stock of foreign issuers which are publicly traded on U.S.  exchanges
either directly or in the form of American  Depository Receipts (ADRs), but only
if such foreign issuers are included in the Index.  The Fund will only invest in
ADRs that are issuer  sponsored.  Sponsored  ADRs typically are issued by a U.S.
bank or Trust company and evidence ownership of underlying  securities issued by
a foreign corporation. The Fund may also hold warrants or other rights on common
stock if such  warrants are issued as  dividends  on stocks  already held in the
Fund's  portfolio.  Because the Fund will concentrate its investments in Israeli
companies,  the Fund  will be  exposed  to the  risks  associated  with  Israeli
companies to a greater degree than will funds whose  investment  policies do not
require or allow such concentration. The Fund will invest in the common stock of
companies  included  in the Index that  trade on the TASE,  NYSE,  the AMEX,  or
NASDAQ.

MONEY MARKET FUNDS. The Fund may invest in securities issued by other registered
investment  companies that invest in short-term  debt  securities  (i.e.,  money
market  funds) to maintain  liquidity.  As a shareholder  of another  registered
investment company, the Fund would bear a pro rata portion of that

                                                                              14
<PAGE>

company's advisory fees and other expenses. Such fees and expenses will be borne
indirectly by the Fund's shareholders.  The Fund will not invest more than 5% of
its net assets in such securities,  and will not invest in such  securities,  if
such  investments  would  represent  more than 3% of such  issuer's  outstanding
shares.

DEBT  SECURITIES.  The  Fund  may  invest  in U.S.  Government  debt  securities
including  Treasury  Bills and short-term  notes,  to maintain  liquidity.  U.S.
Government  securities  include direct  obligations  of the U.S.  Government and
obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities. The market
value of such  securities  fluctuates  in  response  to  interest  rates and the
creditworthiness  of the issuer.  In the case of  securities  backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States Government,  shareholders are only exposed
to interest  rate risk.  The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its net assets
in such securities,  and will not invest in any such security with a maturity in
excess of one year.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in repurchase
agreements   ("Repos")  with   broker-dealers,   banks  and/or  other  financial
institutions  to  maintain  liquidity.  The Fund's  custodian  must  always have
possession of the securities  serving as collateral for the Repos or have proper
evidence of book entry receipt of such securities. In a Repo, the Fund purchases
securities  subject to the seller's  simultaneous  agreement to repurchase those
securities  from the Fund at a specified  time (usually one day) and price.  The
repurchase  price  reflects  an  agreed-upon  interest  rate  during the time of
investment.  All Repos entered into by the Fund must be  collateralized  by U.S.
Government  Securities,  the market value of which equals or exceeds 102% of the
principal amount of the money invested by the Fund. If an institution with which
the Fund has entered into a Repo enters  insolvency  proceedings,  the resulting
delay,  if any, in the Fund's  ability to liquidate  the  securities  serving as
collateral  could cause the Fund some loss if the  securities  declined in value
prior to  liquidation.  To minimize  the risk of such loss,  the Fund will enter
into Repos only with institutions and dealers considered creditworthy,  and will
not invest more than 5% of its net assets in such transactions.

The Fund may also invest in the  following  securities  and employ the following
investment guidelines:

CASH RESERVES. The Fund may, to meet liquidity needs,  temporarily hold up to 5%
of its net assets in cash. The Fund may hold cash in the United States,  Israel,
or in both.  The primary risk  associated  with such a policy is that the Fund's
performance will vary, perhaps significantly,  from the performance of the Index
when the Fund holds a high percentage of its net assets as cash reserves.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON EQUITY  SECURITIES AND THE INDEX. The Fund may enter into
futures contracts relating to the equity securities of companies included in the
Index,  may write (i.e.,  sell) covered put and call options on such  securities
and on the  Index,  and  may  purchase  put and  call  options  on  such  equity
securities  and on the Index.  Such options can include  long-term  options with
durations of up to three years. The Fund may use futures and options to increase
or decrease its exposure to the effects of changes in security prices,  to hedge
securities  held, to maintain cash reserves while remaining  fully invested,  to
facilitate  trading,  to reduce  transaction costs, or to seek higher investment
returns when a futures or options contract is priced more  attractively than the
underlying security or index. The Fund may enter into these transactions so long
as the value of the  underlying  securities  on which  such  options  or futures
contracts  may be written at any one time does not exceed 100% of the net assets
of the Fund,  and so long as the  initial  margin  required  to enter  into such
contracts does not exceed five percent (5%) of the Fund's total net assets.

Risk Factors  Associated With Futures and Options.  The primary risks associated
with the use of options and futures are;  (1)  imperfect  correlation  between a
change  in the  value of the  underlying  security  or index and a change in the
price of the option or futures  contract,  and (2) the possible lack of a liquid
secondary market for an options or futures contract and the resulting  inability
of the Fund to close out the position prior to the maturity date.

RESTRICTED  AND ILLIQUID  SECURITIES.  The Fund will not invest more than 15% of
its net assets in securities that the Adviser determines,  under the supervision
of the Board of Directors, to be illiquid and/or restricted. Illiquid securities
are generally  defined as securities that cannot be liquidated  within seven (7)
days at the approximate price at which the Fund has valued the instrument. Also,
the sale of some illiquid and other types of securities  may be subject to legal
restrictions.  You  should be aware  that in the event that more than 15% of the
Index is  comprised  of companies  considered  to be illiquid,  the Fund will be
unable to match precisely its  investments to the  percentages  contained in the
Index, and that inability may pose additional  risks to the Fund,  including the
risk that the performance of the Fund will vary from that of the Index.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES AND DELAYED-DELIVERY  TRANSACTIONS. The Fund may purchase
securities of companies  comprising the Index on a when-issued basis, and it may
purchase or sell such securities for

                                                                              15
<PAGE>

delayed-delivery. These transactions occur when securities are purchased or sold
by the Fund with payment and delivery taking place at some future date. The Fund
may enter into such transactions  when, in the Adviser's  opinion,  doing so may
secure an  advantageous  yield and/or price to the Fund that might  otherwise be
unavailable.  The Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of assets
it may commit to such  transactions,  but to minimize the risks of entering into
these  transactions,  the Fund  will  maintain  a  segregated  account  with its
Custodian consisting of cash, cash equivalents,  U.S. Government Securities,  or
other high-grade liquid debt securities, denominated in U.S. dollars or non-U.S.
currencies,  in an  amount  equal  to the  aggregate  fair  market  value of its
commitments to such transactions.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS. The complete list of the Fund's investment restrictions
is as follows:

The Fund will not:

1.   Acquire  securities  of any one issuer that at the time of  investment  (a)
     represent more than 10% of the voting  securities of the issuer or (b) have
     a value greater than 10% of the value of the outstanding  securities of the
     issuer;

2.   Borrow  money,  except from banks for  temporary or  emergency  purposes in
     amounts not  exceeding 5% of the value of the Fund's net assets at the time
     of borrowing;

3.   Underwrite  the  distribution  of securities of other  issuers,  or acquire
     "restricted"  securities that, in the event of a resale,  might be required
     to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933;

4.   Make margin purchases or short sales of securities;

5.   Invest in  companies  for the  purpose of  management  or the  exercise  of
     control;

6.   Lend money (but this restriction  shall not prevent the Fund from investing
     in  debt  securities  or  repurchase  agreements,  or  lend  its  portfolio
     securities).

7.   Acquire or retain any security issued by a company,  an officer or director
     of which is an officer or director  of the Company or an officer,  director
     or other affiliated person of the Advisor.

8.   Invest in oil, gas or other mineral  exploration or  development  programs,
     although it may invest in  marketable  securities  of companies  engaged in
     oil,  gas or mineral  exploration,  if such  companies  are  members of the
     AMIDEX(TM)Israel Technology Index;

9.   Purchase or sell real estate or real  estate  loans or real estate  limited
     partnerships,  although it may invest in marketable securities of companies
     that invest in real estate or interests in real estate,  if such  companies
     are members of the AMIDEX(TM) Israel Technology Index.

10.  Purchase warrants on securities, although the Fund may receive and exercise
     warrants  received  by  the  Fund  as  dividends  on  previous   securities
     purchases.

11.  Issue senior securities.

12.  Invest in commodities, or invest in futures or options on commodities.

13.  Invest  more  than 25% of its  assets  (valued  at time of  investment)  in
     securities  of issuers in any industry or economic  sector  except that the
     Fund will  concentrate  its investment in the industry  concentration  that
     comprises the AMIDEX Israel Technology Index.

Restrictions  1 through 13 listed  above are  fundamental  policies,  and may be
changed  only  with  the  approval  of a  "majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities" of the Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

                                                                              16
<PAGE>

The Fund has also adopted the following  restrictions that may be changed by the
Board of Directors without shareholder approval:

The Fund may not:

1.   Invest more than 15% of its net assets in  securities  that are not readily
     marketable;
2.   Acquire securities of other Investment  Companies except (a) by purchase in
     the open  market,  where no  commission  or profit  to a sponsor  or dealer
     results from such purchase other than the customary broker's commission and
     (b) where acquisition  results from a dividend or merger,  consolidation or
     other reorganization.
3.   purchase  more  than 3% of the  voting  securities  of any  one  investment
     company;
4.   Pledge,  mortgage  or  hypothecate  its  assets,  except for  temporary  or
     emergency  purposes  and then to an extent not greater than 5% of its total
     assets at cost;
5.   Invest more than 10% of the Fund's assets (valued at time of investment) in
     initial margin deposits of options or futures contracts;
6.   Invest less than 95% of its net assets  (valued at the time of  investment)
     in  securities  of issuers  which are not  members of the  AMIDEX(TM)ISRAEL
     TECHNOLOGY(TM)Index.

                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

TransNations  Investments,  LLC (the  "Adviser") was organized under the laws of
the State of  Pennsylvania  as an investment  advisory  corporation  in October,
1998,  and  changed  form to a limited  liability  company in March,  1999.  The
Adviser  registered as an Investment  Advisor with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  in  December,  1998.  The Adviser was created to provide  investment
advice to Funds of the Company, and at present that is the exclusive business of
the Adviser.  Mr.  Clifford A. Goldstein owns a 40% interest in and controls the
Adviser.  The Adviser manages the investment  portfolio and the general business
affairs of the Fund pursuant to an investment  services  agreement with the Fund
dated December 15, 2000 (the  "Agreement").  Clifford A.  Goldstein,  and Andrea
Fiest are affiliated persons of the Adviser and act as Directors of the Company.

The  Agreement  provides  that the  Adviser  shall  not be  liable  for any loss
suffered by the Fund or its shareholders as a consequence of any act or omission
in  connection  with  services  under  the  Agreement,  except  by reason of the
adviser's  willful  misfeasance,   bad  faith,  gross  negligence,  or  reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under the Advisory Agreement.

The Agreement has a term of two years, but may be continued from year to year so
long as its  continuance  is approved  annually (a) by the vote of a majority of
the  Directors of the Fund who are not  "interested  persons" of the Fund or the
Adviser  cast in person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose of voting on such
approval,  and (b) by the  Board  of  Directors  as a whole  or by the vote of a
majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The
Agreement  will  terminate  automatically  in the  event of its  assignment  (as
defined in the 1940 Act).

                             DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The board of directors has overall  responsibility  for conduct of the Company's
affairs.  The  day-to-day  operations  of the Fund are  managed by the  Adviser,
subject to the bylaws of the Company and review by the Board of  Directors.  The
directors of the Company,  including those directors who are also officers,  are
listed below:

*    Indicates an "interested  person" as defined in the Investment  Company Act
     of 1940.

For the  Company's  fiscal  year  ending  May 31,  2000,  no  director  received
compensation  for  his or  her  service  to the  Fund  as a  Director.  Clifford
Goldstein  received  compensation  from  the  Adviser  for his  services  to the
Adviser, but did not receive any compensation for his services as a Director.

The Adviser intends to purchase all outstanding  shares of the Fund prior to the
Fund's effective date and will then be deemed to control the Fund.

The Company will call a meeting of  shareholders  for the purpose of voting upon
the question of removal of a director or directors  when requested in writing to
do so by record holders of at least 10% of the Fund's outstanding common shares.
The  Company's  bylaws  contain  procedures  for the removal of directors by its
stockholders. At any meeting of stockholders,  duly called and at which a quorum
is present,  the  stockholders  may by the affirmative  vote of the holders of a
majority  of the votes  entitled  to be cast  thereon,  remove any  director  or
directors  from  office  and may elect a  successor  or  successors  to fill any
resulting vacancies for the unexpired terms of the removed directors.

                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time the Fund may quote total return figures.  "Total Return" for a
period is the  percentage  change in value during the period of an investment in
Fund shares,  including the value of shares acquired through reinvestment of all
dividends and capital gains distributions.  "Average Annual Total Return" is the
average  annual  compounded  rate of  change in value  represented  by the Total
Return Percentage for the period.

                                                           [n]
Average Annual Total Return is computed as follows:  P(1+T)     = ERV

Where:        P = a hypothetical initial investment of $1000]
              T = average annual total return
              n = number of years
              ERV = ending redeemable value of shares at the end of the period

Yield. The Fund may advertise  performance in terms of a 30-day yield quotation.
The 30-day yield quotation is computed by dividing the net investment income per
share earned  during the period by the maximum  offering  price per share on the
last day of the period, according to the following formula:

                                                                              19
<PAGE>

                      6
Yield = 2[(a-b/cd + 1)  - 1]

Where:    a = dividends and interest earned during the period
          b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursement)
          c = the average daily number of shares  outstanding  during the period
              that they were entitled to receive dividends
          d = the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period

The Fund's  performance is a function of conditions in the  securities  markets,
portfolio management, sales charges on particular classes of shares, if any, and
operating expenses.  Although  information such as that shown above is useful in
reviewing the Fund's performance and in providing some basis for comparison with
other investment  alternatives,  it should not be used for comparison with other
investments using different reinvestment assumptions or time periods.

In sales literature,  the Fund's performance may be compared with that of market
indices and other mutual funds. In addition to the above computations,  the Fund
might use comparative  performance as computed in a ranking determined by Lipper
Analytical Services, Morningstar, Inc., or that of another service.

                         PURCHASING AND REDEEMING SHARES

Information  concerning  purchases and redemptions of shares is contained in the
Fund's  Prospectus under the Section "How to Buy and Sell Shares".  This section
supplements that information.

Redemptions  will be made at net asset  value.  The  Fund's  net asset  value is
determined on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. For
purposes of  computing  the net asset  value of a share of the Fund,  securities
traded  on  security  exchanges,  or in the  over-the-counter  market  in  which
transaction prices are reported,  are valued at the last sales price at the time
of valuation or,  lacking any reported sales on that day, at the most recent bid
quotations.  Securities  for which  quotations  are not  available and any other
assets  are valued at a fair  market  value as  determined  in good faith by the
Advisor,  subject to the review and  supervision of the board of directors.  The
price per share for a  purchase  order or  redemption  request  is the net asset
value next determined after receipt of the order.

The Fund is open for  business  on each  day  that the New York  Stock  Exchange
("NYSE") is open. The Fund's share price or net asset value per share ("NAV") is
normally  determined as of 4:00 p.m.,  New York time.  The Fund's share price is
calculated by subtracting its liabilities  from the closing fair market value of
its  total  assets  and  dividing  the  result  by the  total  number  of shares
outstanding on that day. Fund liabilities include accrued expenses and dividends
payable,  and its  total  assets  include  the  market  value  of the  portfolio
securities  as well as  income  accrued  but not yet  received.  Since  the Fund
generally  does not charge  sales or  redemption  fees,  the NAV is the offering
price for shares of the Fund.  For No-Load  shares  redeemed prior to being held
for at least 365 days,  the  redemption  value is the NAV less a redemption  fee
equal to 2.00% of the NAV.

                                 TAX INFORMATION

Information  concerning  the taxation of the Fund is generally  discussed in the
Prospectus  under  the  Section  titled  "Tax   Considerations".   This  Section
supplements that discussion.

The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated  investment company under Sub Chapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code so as to be relieved of federal income tax on its
capital  gains  and  net  investment   income   currently   distributed  to  its
shareholders. To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must, among
other things, derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,  interest,
payments  with  respect  to  securities  loans,  gains  from  the  sale or other
disposition  of stock,  securities,  or other income derived with respect to its
business of investing in such stock or securities.

If the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and distributes at least
90% of its net investment income, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income
tax on the income so distributed. However, the

                                                                              20
<PAGE>

Fund would be subject to corporate income tax on any undistributed  income other
than tax-exempt income from municipal securities.

The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders, at least annually, substantially
all net  investment  income and any net capital gains realized from sales of the
Fund's  portfolio   securities.   Dividends  from  net  investment   income  and
distributions  from any net realized  capital gains are reinvested in additional
shares of the Fund unless the  shareholder has requested in writing to have them
paid by check.

Dividends from investment income and net short-term  capital gains are generally
taxable to the  shareholder  as  ordinary  income.  Distributions  of  long-term
capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of the length of
time  shares in the Fund have been  held.  Distributions  are  taxable,  whether
received in cash or reinvested in shares of the Fund.

Each shareholder is advised annually of the source of distributions  for federal
income tax purposes. A shareholder who is not subject to federal income tax will
not be required to pay tax on distributions received.

If shares are purchased  shortly  before a record date for a  distribution,  the
shareholder  will, in effect,  receive a return of a portion of his  investment,
but the  distribution  will be taxable to him even if the net asset value of the
shares is reduced below the shareholder's cost. However,  for federal income tax
purposes the original cost would continue as the tax basis.

If  a   shareholder   fails  to  furnish  his  social   security  or  other  tax
identification number or to certify properly that it is correct, the Fund may be
required to withhold federal income tax at the rate of 31% (backup  withholding)
from dividend, capital gain and redemption payments to him. Dividend and capital
gain payments may also be subject to backup withholding if the shareholder fails
to certify  properly  that he is not  subject to backup  withholding  due to the
under-reporting of certain income.

Taxation of the Shareholder.  Taxable distributions  generally are included in a
shareholder's  gross  income for the  taxable  year in which they are  received.
However,  dividends declared in October,  November and December and made payable
to  shareholders of record in such month will be deemed to have been received on
December 31st if paid by the Fund during the following January.

Distributions by the Fund will result in a reduction in the fair market value of
the Fund's shares.  Should a  distribution  reduce the fair market value below a
shareholder's  cost basis, such distribution would be taxable to the shareholder
as  ordinary  income  or as a  long-term  capital  gain,  even  though,  from an
investment  standpoint,  it may  constitute  a  partial  return of  capital.  In
particular,  investors  should be careful to consider  the tax  implications  of
buying shares of the Fund just prior to a distribution. The price of such shares
include the amount of any  forthcoming  distribution so that those investors may
receive a return of investment upon distribution  which will,  nevertheless,  be
taxable to them.

A redemption  of shares is a taxable event and,  accordingly,  a capital gain or
loss may be recognized. Each investor should consult a tax advisor regarding the
effect of federal, state, local, and foreign taxes on an investment in the Fund.

Dividends. A portion of the Fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received
deduction  available  to  corporate  shareholders  to the extent that the Fund's
income is derived  from  qualifying  dividends.  Because the Fund may earn other
types of income, such as interest, income from securities loans,  non-qualifying
dividends,  and short-term  capital gains,  the percentage of dividends from the
Fund that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. The Fund
will notify corporate  shareholders annually of the percentage of Fund dividends
that qualifies for the dividend received deductions.

A  portion  of  the  Fund's  dividends  derived  from  certain  U.S.  Government
obligations  may be exempt  from state and local  taxation.  Short-term  capital
gains are distributed as dividend income.  The Fund will send each shareholder a
notice in  January  describing  the tax status of  dividends  and  capital  gain
distributions for the prior year.

                                                                              21
<PAGE>

Capital Gain  Distribution.  Long-term capital gains earned by the Fund from the
sale of securities and  distributed  to  shareholders  are federally  taxable as
long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time shareholders have held
their shares. If a shareholder receives a long-term capital gain distribution on
shares of the Fund, and subsequently such shares are sold at a loss, the portion
of the loss equal to the amount of the long-term  capital gain  distribution may
be  considered  a long-term  loss for tax  purposes.  Short-term  capital  gains
distributed by the Fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as capital
gains.  Taxation  issues are complex and highly  individual.  You should consult
with your tax advisor concerning the effects of transactions in the Fund.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Fund will  generally  purchase  and sell  securities  without  regard to the
length of time the  security has been held.  Accordingly,  the rate of portfolio
turnover may be substantial. However, the Fund expects that its annual portfolio
turnover rate will not exceed 75% under normal conditions. However, there can be
no assurance that the Fund will not exceed this rate, and the portfolio turnover
rate may vary from year to year.

High  portfolio  turnover  in any year will result in the payment by the Fund of
above-average  transaction costs and could result in the payment by shareholders
of above-average amounts of taxes on realized investment gains. Distributions to
shareholders of such investment  gains, to the extent they consist of short-term
capital  gains,  will be  considered  ordinary  income  for  federal  income tax
purposes.

Decisions  to buy and sell  securities  for the  Fund  are  made by the  Adviser
subject to review by the Company's Board of Directors.  In placing  purchase and
sale  orders  for  portfolio  securities  for the Fund,  it is the policy of the
Adviser to seek the best  execution of orders at the most  favorable  price.  In
selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions, the determination of what is
expected to result in the best execution at the most favorable  price involves a
number of  largely  judgmental  considerations.  Among  these are the  Adviser's
evaluations of the broker's  efficiency in executing and clearing  transactions.
Over-the-counter  securities  are  generally  purchased  and sold  directly with
principal  market makers who retain the difference in their cost in the security
and its selling price. In some  instances,  the Adviser feels that better prices
are  available  from  non-principal  market  makers  that are  paid  commissions
directly.

                       AMIDEX(TM) ISRAEL TECHNOLOGY INDEX

AMIDEX(TM)  Israel  Technology  Index is a new,  unmanaged  Index. The companies
included  in the Index are smaller  market  capitalization  "Israeli  Technology
Companies" whose stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ.

What is an "Israel Technology Company"?
---------------------------------------
To be an  "Israel  Technology  Company",  a company  has to  satisfy  ALL of the
following requirements:

6.   Its stock is traded on the NASDAQ  over-the-counter  market and the company
     has been listed by the Israeli  financial  newspaper,  Globes as one of the
     "Israeli shares traded on the New York Bourse." (if Globes stops publishing
     a list of  "Israeli  shares  traded on the New York  Bourse,"  the Board of
     Directors will select an  alternative  publication  that similarly  defines
     such companies); and
7.   The company is  designated by  Bloomberg,  L.P. or a comparable  nationally
     recognized financial data provider as being in a Technology Sector; and
8.   The company is not listed as a company  included in the  AMIDEX35(TM)Index.
     The  AMIDEX35(TM)Index  is an index  of the 35  largest  Israeli  companies
     (measured by market  capitalization),  traded  either on the Tel Aviv Stock
     Exchange or the U.S. exchanges; and
9.   It must have maintained an average minimum daily trading volume of at least
     $500,000 in the previous two calendar quarters; and
10.  It may not be listed in the U.S. as an ADR or ADS.

                                                                              22
<PAGE>

The largest (as  measured by market  capitalization)  35 Israel  companies  that
satisfy all of the criteria  described above will be included in the Index.  You
should be aware  that the Index  might  contain  more or less than 35  companies
during certain  periods of the year. If less than 35 Israeli  companies meet the
criteria for inclusion at the beginning of an  adjustment  date,  then the Index
will contain only those companies that qualify.  The Index is adjusted to add or
delete  companies,  as necessary on or about  November 30th and May 31st of each
year.

If a company ceases operation, is de-listed on the NASDAQ, or becomes insolvent,
it will be  immediately  deleted from the Index and not replaced  until the next
adjustment  date. If a single company splits into multiple  companies,  all such
companies will be included in the Index until the Index is readjusted,  at which
time each company's  individual  qualifications to be included in the Index will
be determined.

An  "unmanaged"  index means that the criteria for inclusion of companies in the
Index are  objective  and not subject to arbitrary  change,  so that any company
that is eligible for  inclusion  in the Index must be included,  and any company
that ceases to qualify for inclusion in the Index must be deleted.

The Index is a market  capitalization  index.  Market  capitalization  means the
total  current  U.S.  dollar value of a company's  outstanding  shares of common
stock,  and is calculated by  multiplying  the number of  outstanding  shares of
common stock of a company by the price of that common stock.

The Index began being calculated on November 1st, 2000 at an initial Index Value
of 1,000. The Index name,  rules,  methods of calculation,  and proprietary data
are owned by the Adviser.  The Adviser  developed  the criteria and the rules of
operation for the Index.  The Adviser has entered into  agreements  with various
companies  to  construct,  calculate  and  publish  the Index.  Bloomberg,  L.P.
performed  the initial  calculations  needed to create the Index and selects the
companies  that will be  included  in or deleted  from the  Index,  based on the
criteria  described  above.  Bloomberg,  L.P. is responsible for maintaining and
publishing  the Index.  Bloomberg,  L.P. has no  affiliation  with the Fund, the
Adviser, or any of the Fund's other service providers,  and currently calculates
and publishes the AMIDEX ISRAEL TECHNOLOGY Index. The Adviser may, if necessary,
select an alternative independent company to calculate,  maintain or publish the
Index in the future.

When  companies  are added to or deleted from the Index,  the Adviser will alter
the Fund's  investments to conform the portfolio to the Index.  This will result
in certain risks to the Fund, including the risks of losses and tax consequences
to shareholders  resulting from realized capital gains. You should also be aware
that the Fund will incur  certain  expenses  that are not incurred by the Index,
including  transaction  charges.  Accordingly,  the performance of the Fund will
vary from that of the Index as a result of such expenses.

The Adviser will attempt to maintain a correlation  coefficient of at least 0.95
in performance  between the Index and the Fund. This means that the Adviser will
attempt to replicate at least 95% of the Index's  performance.  The Adviser will
be responsible for tracking the Fund's performance, under the supervision of the
Company's  Board of Directors.  If the Fund fails to achieve a 0.95  correlation
coefficient,  the Board will take action to rectify  whatever problem is causing
the  discrepancy,  including,  as an  example,  altering  the  Fund's  servicing
arrangements  to reduce Fund expense  ratios or changing  the Fund's  investment
strategy of investing in the Index.

The Adviser has determined  that, in order to construct the Fund's  portfolio to
reflect  the  performance  of the Index,  the Fund must have  approximately  $25
million in net  assets.  Until such asset  levels are  reached,  the Adviser may
invest Fund assets in a representative sample of Index securities and such other
permissible securities, the Adviser believes will likely track Index performance
most closely.

You  should  be aware  that  there is no  assurance  that  the  Adviser  will be
successful in replicating the  performance of the Index during this period.  You
will find a more  detailed  discussion  of the  Index in the SAI in the  Section
entitled "The Index."

WHY DOES THE FUND INVEST IN ISRAEL TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES?

The State of Israel is a highly developed, industrialized democracy. Since 1990,
Israel's  economy  has  grown  significantly,  presenting  improvement  in  most
economic  indicators.  Israel  has made  substantial  progress  in  opening  its
economy,  including  the removal of its trade  barriers and tariffs.  Israel has
concluded free trade  agreements with its major trading partners and is the only
nation that is a party to free trade  agreements with both the United States and
the European Union. In recent years Israel has signed free trade agreements with
Switzerland,  Norway,  Canada,  Turkey, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic,
Poland and Hungary.

The  State of  Israel  has  significantly  improved  its  economic  performance.
Inflation in 1999 fell to 1.3%,  and exports more than doubled  between 1992 and
2000. Israel is a member of a number of international  organizations,  including
the United Nations,  the World Bank Group (including the  International  Finance
Corporation), the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF"), the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development,  and the Inter-American Development Bank. Israel
is a signatory to the General  Agreement  on Tariffs and Trade  ("GATT") of 1947
and 1994,  which  provides for  reciprocal  lowering of trade barriers among its
members. Under GATT, Israel is eligible to receive a number of trade preferences
that are  available  only to  certain  GATT  participants,  including  duty-free
treatment of its exports to certain  countries  pursuant to the GATT Generalized
System of Preferences.

Israel is not only rich in research, technology and intellectual investment, but
also is the only  democratic  nation in the Middle  East.  The influx of venture
capital,  the infusion of human resources (Israel's population nearly doubled in
the last 15 years),  and the  conversion of the economic  focus from military to
commercial  (defense spending dropped from about 30% of GNP in 1973 to less than
8.14% in  1998),  have led many to  believe  that  Israel  is the next  "Silicon
Valley." There has been a dramatic  increase in the number of Israeli  companies
trading on U.S. Exchanges, particularly the NASDAQ.

Israel is third,  behind only the U.S.  and Canada,  in the number of  companies
traded on Wall Street. More than 100 Israeli companies trade shares on the major
U.S.  exchanges.  In Israel, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange now lists more than 665
companies and over 1,000  securities,  with a current market  capitalization  of
about $80 billion.

In 1999,  Israel exported $9.9 billion of technology  related  products.  Israel
leads all foreign nations in receipt of venture capital from abroad,  and in the
number of high tech  start-ups per year. In the first 6 months of the year 2000,
Israel received more than $12 billion of direct foreign investment.

These dramatic developments present a new and relatively unexploited opportunity
for equity investment.  Currently,  there is only one other U.S. based, open-end
mutual fund  available as a vehicle for investment in Israeli  securities.  That
Fund, the AMIDEX35  Mutual Fund (AMDEX,  AMDAX,AMDCX)  is an index-based  mutual
fund  also  offered  by  AMIDEX(TM)  Funds,  Inc.  that  invests  in the  stocks
comprising the AMIDEX ISRAEL  TECHNOLOGY(TM)  Index, and index of the 35 largest
Israeli companies (measured by market capitalization),  traded either on the Tel
Aviv Stock Exchange or the U.S.  exchanges.  The AMIDEX Israel Technology Mutual
Fund is currently the only fund  investing  exclusively  in U.S.  traded Israeli
technology companies through the AMIDEX(TM) Israel Technology Index.

                                DISTRIBUTION FEES

Amidex  Funds,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  has  adopted   distribution  plans  (the
"Distribution  Plans"),  pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under The Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended,  by Class of Shares,  for each Fund. The Distribution Plans
provide  for fees to be  deducted  from the  average  net assets of the Funds in
order to compensate the Adviser or others for expenses relating to the promotion
and sale of shares of each Fund.

Under the No-Load and Class A Plans,  each share Class  compensates  the Adviser
and others  for  distribution  expenses  at a maximum  annual  rate of 0.25% (of
which, the full amount may be service fees),  payable on a monthly basis, of the
Fund's average daily net assets attributable to the applicable share Class.

                                                                              24

For the Fund's  fiscal  year  ending May 31,  2000,  the Fund  accrued  and paid
$11,120 in 12b-1  fees for its  No-Load  shares,  and $205 in 12b-1 fees for its
Class A shares.

Under the Class B Plan,  the Class B Shares of the Fund  compensate  the Adviser
and others for  distribution  and service fees at an annual rate of 1.00% (0.75%
of which is a  distribution  fee)  payable  on a monthly  basis,  of the  Fund's
average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares.  Amounts paid under the
Class B Plan are paid to the Adviser and others to  compensate  it for  services
provided and expenses incurred in the distribution of Class B shares,  including
the  paying of  commissions  for  sales of Class B  shares.  The Class B Plan is
designed to allow  investors  to  purchase  Class B shares  without  incurring a
front-end  sales load and to permit the  distributor  to  compensate  authorized
dealers for selling such shares. Accordingly, the Class B Plan combined with the
CDSC for Class B shares is to provide for the financing of the  distribution  of
Class B shares.  During the Fund's fiscal year ending May 31, 2000, the Fund did
not offer its Class B shares to the  public,  so no 12b-1  fees were  accrued or
paid for these shares.

Under the Class C Plan,  Class C Shares of the Fund  compensate  the Adviser and
others for  distribution  and service  fees at an annual rate of 1.00% (0.75% of
which is a distribution  fee) payable on a monthly basis,  of the Fund's average
daily net assets attributable to Class C shares.  Amounts paid under the Class C
Plan are paid to the Adviser and others to compensate  it for services  provided
and  expenses  incurred in the  distribution  of Class C shares,  including  the
paying of ongoing "trailer" commissions for sales of Class C shares. The Class C
Plan is designed to allow investors to purchase Class C shares without incurring
a  front-end  sales  load or a CDSC  charge,  and to permit the  distributor  to
compensate authorized dealers for selling such shares. Accordingly,  the Class C
Plan's  purpose is to provide for the financing of the  distribution  of Class C
shares.  For the Fund's  fiscal year ending May 31,  2000,  the Fund accrued and
paid $7 in 12b-1 fees for its Class C shares.

The  Distribution  Plans provide that the Fund may finance  activities which are
primarily intended to result in the sale of the Fund's shares, including but not
limited to,  advertising,  printing of  prospectuses  and reports for other than
existing shareholders, preparation and distribution of advertising materials and
sales literature, and payments to dealers and shareholder servicing agents.

The  Distribution  Plans  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Company's  Board  of
Directors,  and may be renewed only by majority vote of the  shareholders of the
Fund's  Classes,  or by  majority  vote of the  Board,  and in both cases also a
majority  vote of the  disinterested  Directors of the Company,  as that term is
defined in the 1940 Act.

The Board of Directors has determined that a consistent cash flow resulting from
the sale of new shares is necessary and  appropriate to meet  redemptions and to
take  advantage  of buying  opportunities  without  having  to make  unwarranted
liquidations of portfolio securities.  The Board therefore believes that it will
likely  benefit the Fund to have moneys  available  for the direct  distribution
activities of the Distributor in promoting the sale of the Fund's shares, and to
avoid any  uncertainties  as to whether other payments  constitute  distribution
expenses  on behalf of the Fund.  The  Board of  Directors,  including  the non-
interested  Directors,  has concluded  that in the exercise of their  reasonable
business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties,  there is a reasonable
likelihood that the Plans will benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The Plans have been approved by the Funds' Board of Directors,  including all of
the  Directors  who are  non-interested  persons as defined in the 1940 Act. The
Plans must be renewed  annually by the Board of Directors,  including a majority
of the  Directors  who are  non-interested  persons of the Funds and who have no
direct or indirect  financial  interest in the operation of the Plans. The votes
must be cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose. It is also required
that  the   selection  and   nomination  of  such   Directors  be  done  by  the
non-interested Directors. The Plans and any related agreements may be terminated
at any time, without any penalty: 1) by vote of a majority of the non-interested
Directors on not more than 60 days' written notice, 2) by the Underwriter on not
more  than 60 days'  written  notice,  3) by vote of a  majority  of the  Fund's
outstanding  shares, on 60 days' written notice, and 4) automatically by any act
that terminates the Underwriting Agreement with the underwriter. The underwriter
or any dealer or other firm may also terminate  their  respective  agreements at
any time upon written notice.

                                                                              25
<PAGE>

The Plans and any related  agreement  may not be amended to increase  materially
the amounts to be spent for distribution expenses without approval by a majority
of the Fund's outstanding  shares,  and all material  amendments to the Plans or
any  related  agreements  shall  be  approved  by a vote  of the  non-interested
Directors,  cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on any
such amendment.

The  underwriter  is required to report in writing to the Board of  Directors of
the Fund,  at least  quarterly,  on the amounts and purpose of any payment  made
under the Plans, as well as to furnish the Board with such other  information as
may  reasonably  be  requested  in order to enable the Board to make an informed
determination of whether the Plans should be continued.
