RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
1. WHAT IS THE PORTFOLIO'S OBJECTIVE?
O The Portfolio seeks total return through a combination of
current dividend income and capital appreciation.
o Its strategy is to invest in a fixed portfolio of
approximately equal amounts of the 15 highest
dividend-yielding common stocks in a pre-screened subgroup
of the Standard & Poor's Industrial Index.
You can participate in the Portfolio by purchasing units.
Each unit represents an equal share of the stocks in the
Portfolio and receives an equal share of dividend income.
2. WHAT IS THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
O We selected the 15 stocks in the Portfolio through the
following screening process.
- -- We began with the Standard & Poor's Industrial Index.
- -- Next, we chose securities ranked either A or A+ by
Standard & Poor's Earnings and Dividend Rankings for
Common Stock. Standard & Poor's determines its stock
ratings primarily on the growth and stability of
per-share earnings and dividends. It assigns a symbol to
each stock, which ranges from A+ for the highest ranked
stocks to D for those stocks Standard & Poor's considers
to be the most speculative. These rankings are not
intended to predict stock price movements.
- -- To prevent overlap with other Defined Asset Fund
Portfolios offered by the Sponsors, we eliminated any
stocks also included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
(DJIA).
- -- We then ranked the remaining stocks by market
capitalization from highest to lowest and eliminated the
lowest 25 percent. This allows the Portfolio to avoid
smaller, less liquid issues.
- -- From these stocks we selected the 15 stocks with the
highest dividend yields, the prices of which may be
undervalued.
O The Portfolio plans to hold the stocks in the Portfolio for
about one year. At the end of the year, we will liquidate
the Portfolio and apply the same Strategy to select a new
portfolio, if available.
o Each Select S&P Industrial Portfolio is designed to be part
of a longer term strategy. We believe that more consistent
results are likely if the Strategy is followed for at least
three to five years but you are not required to stay with
the Strategy or to roll over your investment. You can sell
your units any time.
3. WHAT INDUSTRIES ARE REPRESENTED IN THE PORTFOLIO?
Based upon the principal business of each issuer and
current market values, the Portfolio represents the
following industries:
APPROXIMATE

PERCENTAGE
o Food Processing 20%
o Chemicals-Diversified 13
o Consumer Products 13

RISK/RETURN SUMMARY (Continued)
4. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?
YOU CAN LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO. THIS CAN
HAPPEN FOR VARIOUS REASONS, INCLUDING:
o The common stocks in the Portfolio generally have
attributes that have caused them to have lower prices or
higher dividend yields relative to other equity securities
in the subgroup.
For example:
- -- the issuers may be having financial problems;
- -- the stocks may be out of favor with the market because
of weak performance, poor earnings forecasts or negative
publicity;
- -- the stocks may be reacting to general market cycles.
o The market factors that caused the relatively low prices
and high dividend yields of the stocks may not change.
o Because the Portfolio is concentrated in stocks of the food
industry, adverse developments in this industry may affect
the value of the units.
o Stock prices can be volatile.
o Dividend rates on the stocks or share prices may decline
during the life of the Portfolio.
o The Portfolio may continue to purchase or hold the stocks
originally selected even though their market value or yield
may have changed or they may no longer be included in the
Standard & Poor's Industrial Index.
5. IS THIS PORTFOLIO APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?
Yes, if you want current dividend income and capital
appreciation. You will benefit from a professionally
selected and supervised portfolio whose risk is reduced by
investing in equity securities of different issuers in a
variety of industries.
The Portfolio is not appropriate for you if you are not
comfortable with the Strategy or are unwilling to take the
risk involved with an equity investment. It may not be
appropriate for you if you are seeking preservation of
capital or high current income.
6. WHAT ARE THE PORTFOLIO'S FEES AND EXPENSES?
This table shows the costs and expenses you may pay,
directly or indirectly, when you invest in the Portfolio.
ESTIMATED ANNUAL OPERATING
EXPENSES
AMOUNT
AS A % OF PER 1,000
NET ASSETS UNITS
---------- -----------
.080% $ 0.80
Trustee's Fee
.071% $ 0.70
Portfolio Supervision,
Bookkeeping and
Administrative Fees
.054% $ 0.53
Other Operating Expenses
---------- -----------
.205% $ 2.03
TOTAL
ORGANIZATION COSTS per 1,000
units (deducted from Portfolio
assets at the close of the initial
offering period) $0.96
INVESTOR FEES
Maximum Sales Fee (Load) on new
purchases (as a percentage of $1,000
invested) 2.75%
You will pay an up-front sales fee of approximately 1.00%, as
well as a total deferred sales fee of $17.50 ($1.75 per 1,000
units deducted monthly from the Portfolio's net asset value
over the last 10 months of the Portfolio's life, commencing
January 1, 2000).
The maximum sales fees are as follows:
YOUR MAXIMUM
SALES FEE
IF YOU INVEST: WILL BE:
---------------------------------- -----------------
Less than $50,000 2.75%
$ 50,000 to $99,999 2.50%
$100,000 to $249,999 2.00%
$250,000 to $999,999 1.75%
$1,000,000 or more 1.00%
EXAMPLE
This example may help you compare the cost of investing in
the Portfolio to the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the
Portfolio for the periods indicated and sell all your units
at the end of those periods. The example also assumes a 5%
return on your investment each year and that the
Portfolio's operating expenses stay the same. Although your
actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$308 $742 $1,202 $2,476

7. HOW HAVE S&P INDUSTRIAL PORTFOLIOS PERFORMED IN THE PAST?
The following table shows the actual annualized pre-tax returns to
investors of prior Portfolios. The returns assume that investors reinvested all
dividends and paid the maximum sales fees. The table also shows returns for the
latest completed portfolios (through termination, not rollover), which are, in
some cases, higher than the cumulative performance figures because market prices
have declined since their completion dates. These figures reflect terminations
through the quarter ended September 30, 1999. A portfolio may underperform for a
variety of reasons. For example, portfolio stocks may have been chosen for
specific characteristics that are at odds with the characteristics of the stocks
driving the market at a given time. For example, we may have chosen value stocks
at a time when growth stocks are performing well. Of course, past performance is
no guarantee of future results.

8. HOW WOULD THE STRATEGY HAVE PERFORMED HISTORICALLY?
The following table compares constructed performance of the Strategy Stocks (but
not of any actual Portfolio) with actual performance of three general market
indexes. Portfolio performance may vary from that of the indexes shown below for
a variety of reasons. For example, the Portfolio has invested in a limited
subset of index stocks, and therefore its performance may not keep pace with
index performance to the extent the index is driven by stocks not held in the
Portfolio. In addition, the Portfolio stocks may have been chosen for specific
characteristics that are at odds with the characteristics of the stocks driving
the market at a given time. For example, we may have chosen value stocks at a
time when growth stocks are performing well. This constructed performance is no
assurance of future results of either the Strategy or any Portfolio.

</TABLE>
- ------------------------------------
(1) To compute Total Returns, we add changes in market value and dividends that
would have been received during the year, and divide the sum by the opening
market value for the year. Return from a Portfolio will differ from
constructed Strategy returns for several reasons including the following:
o each Portfolio bears brokerage commissions in buying and selling stocks;
Strategy returns do not reflect any commissions;
o Strategy returns are for calendar years, while Portfolios begin and end
on various dates;
o units are bought and sold based on the closing stock prices on the
exchange, while Portfolios may buy and sell stocks at prices during the
trading day;
o Portfolios may not be fully invested at all times; and
o stocks in a Portfolio may not be weighted equally at all times.
(2) When we ranked the common stocks by dividend yields (as described on page
3), we based the yields on the latest dividend and the stock price at the
market opening on the first trading day of the year.

9. IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
Unlike a mutual fund, the Portfolio is not managed and
stocks are not sold because of market changes. The Sponsors
monitor the portfolio and may instruct the Trustee to sell
securities under certain limited circumstances. However,
given the investment philosophy of the Portfolio, the
Sponsors are not likely to do so.
10. HOW DO I BUY UNITS?
The minimum investment is $250.
You can buy units from any of the Sponsors. The Sponsors are
listed later in this prospectus.
UNIT PRICE PER 1,000 UNITS $999.98
(as of October 29, 1999)
Unit price is based on the net asset value of the Portfolio
plus the up-front sales fee. Unit price also includes the
estimated organization costs shown on page 4, to which no
sales fee has been applied.
The Portfolio stocks are valued by the Trustee on the basis
of their closing prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time every
business day. Unit price changes every day with changes in
the prices of the stocks.
11. HOW DO I SELL UNITS?
You may sell your units at any time to any Sponsor or the
Trustee for the net asset value determined at the close of
business on the date of sale, less any remaining deferred
sales fee and the costs of liquidating securities to meet
the redemption.
12. HOW ARE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?
The Fund pays distributions of any dividend income, net of
expenses, on the 25th of February, April, July and
September, 2000, if you own units on the 10th of those
months. For tax purposes, you will be considered to have
received all the dividends paid on your pro rata portion of
each security in the Portfolio when those dividends are
received by the Portfolio regardless of whether you reinvest
your dividends in the Portfolio. A portion of the dividend
payments may be used to pay expenses of the Portfolio.
Foreign investors shares of dividends will generally be
subject to withholding taxes.
13. WHAT OTHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
REINVESTMENT
You may choose to reinvest your distributions into
additional units of the Portfolio. You will pay only the
deferred sales fee remaining at the time of reinvestment.
Unless you choose reinvestment, you will receive your
distributions in cash.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You may exchange units of this Portfolio for units of
certain other Defined Asset Funds. You may also exchange
into this Portfolio from certain other funds. We charge a
reduced sales fee on designated exchanges.

</TABLE>
- ------------------------------------
(1) Based on Cost to Portfolio.
(2) Current Dividend Yield for each security was calculated by annualizing the
last monthly, quarterly or semi-annual ordinary dividend declared on the
security and dividing the result by its market value as of the close of
trading on October 29, 1999.
(3) Valuation by the Trustee made on the basis of closing sale prices at the
evaluation time on October 29, 1999, the business day prior to the initial
date of deposit. The value of the Securities on any subsequent business day
will vary.
------------------------------------
The securities were acquired on October 29, 1999 and are represented entirely by
contracts to purchase the securities. Any of the Sponsors may have acted as
underwriters, managers or co-managers of a public offering of the securities in
this Portfolio during the last three years. Affiliates of the Sponsors may serve
as specialists in the securities in this Portfolio on one or more stock
exchanges and may have a long or short position in any of these securities or
options on any of them, and may be on the opposite side of public orders
executed on the floor of an exchange where the securities are listed. An
officer, director or employee of any of the Sponsors may be an officer or
director of one or more of the issuers of the securities in the Portfolio. A
Sponsor may trade for its own account as an odd-lot dealer, market maker, block
positioner and/or arbitrageur in any of the securities or in options on them.
Any Sponsor, its affiliates, directors, elected officers and employee benefits
programs may have either a long or short position in any securities or in
options on them.
------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS USED AS A PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS
FOR A FUTURE FUND IN THIS SERIES, THE PORTFOLIO WILL CONTAIN
DIFFERENT
STOCKS FROM THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE.
8
<PAGE>
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT
INCOME
The Portfolio will pay to you any income it has received four times during its
life. Because the Portfolio generally pays dividends as they are received,
individual income payments will fluctuate based upon the amount of dividends
declared and paid by each issuer. Other reasons your income may vary are:
o changes in the Portfolio because of additional securities purchases or
sales;
o a change in the Portfolio's expenses; and
o the amount of dividends declared and paid.
There can be no assurance that any dividends will be declared or paid.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
You will receive:
o a notice from the Trustee if new equity securities are deposited in exchange
or substitution for equity securities originally deposited;
o a final report on Portfolio activity; and
o annual tax information. This will also be sent to the IRS. You must report the
amount of income received during the year. Please contact your tax advisor in
this regard.
You may request audited financial statements of the Portfolio from the Trustee.
You may inspect records of Portfolio transactions at the Trustee's office during
regular business hours.
THE RISKS YOU FACE
CONCENTRATION RISK
When stocks in a particular industry make up 25% or more of the portfolio, it is
said to be 'concentrated' in that industry, which makes the Portfolio less
diversified.
Here is what you should know about the Portfolio's concentration in stocks of
the food industry, including manufacturers and retailers of packaged foods,
processors of agricultural products and food distributors.
o The value of food industry equity securities, as well as the ability of the
issuers to pay dividends may be affected by sensitivity of revenues,
earnings and financial condition to economic conditions, changing consumer
demands or preferences, fluctuations in the prices of agricultural
commodities, fluctuations in the cost of raw materials such as packaging
and the ability to increase the price of products to keep up with
inflation.
o Revenues and earnings can also be affected by extensive competition
resulting in lost sales or lower price margins.
o Food companies are subject to regulation under various federal laws,
including the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as well as state, local and
foreign laws and regulations. Costs associated with complying with
regulatory restrictions could adversely affect earnings.
LITIGATION AND LEGISLATION RISKS
We do not know of any pending litigation that might have a material adverse
effect upon the Portfolio.
Future tax legislation could affect the value of the Portfolio by:
8
<PAGE>
o reducing the dividends-received deduction or
o increasing the corporate tax rate resulting in less money available for
dividend payments.
SELLING OR EXCHANGING UNITS
You can sell your units at any time for a price based on their net asset value.
Your net asset value is calculated each business day by:
o adding the value of the Portfolio Securities, cash and any other Portfolio
assets;
o subtracting accrued but unpaid Portfolio expenses, unreimbursed Trustee
advances, cash held to buy back units or for distribution to investors,
and any other Portfolio liabilities; and
o dividing the result by the number of outstanding units.
Your net asset value when you sell may be more or less than your cost because of
sales fees, market movements and changes in the Portfolio.
As of the close of the initial offering period, the price you receive will be
reduced to pay the Portfolio's estimated organization costs.
If you sell your units before the final deferred sales fee installment, the
amount of any remaining payments will be deducted from your proceeds.
SPONSORS' SECONDARY MARKET
While we are not obligated to do so, we will buy back units at net asset value
less any remaining deferred sales fee and the cost of liquidating Securities to
meet the redemption. We may resell the units to other buyers or to the Trustee.
We have maintained a secondary market continuously for more than 28 years, but
we could discontinue it without prior notice for any business reason.
SELLING UNITS TO THE TRUSTEE
Regardless of whether we maintain a secondary market, you can sell your units to
the Trustee at any time by contacting your broker, dealer or financial
institution that holds your units in street name. Sometimes, additional
documents are needed such as a trust document, certificate of corporate
authority, certificate of death or appointment as executor, administrator or
guardian.
Within seven days after your request and the necessary documents are received,
the Trustee will mail a check to you. Contact the Trustee for additional
information.
As long as we are maintaining a secondary market, the Trustee will sell your
units to us at a price based on net asset value. If there is no secondary
market, the Trustee will sell your units in the over-the-counter market if it
believes it can obtain a higher price. In that case, you will receive the net
proceeds of the sale.
If the Portfolio does not have cash available to pay you for the units you are
selling, the agent for the Sponsors will select securities to be sold. These
sales could be made at times when the securities would not otherwise be sold and
may result in your receiving less than you paid for your unit and also reduce
the size and diversity of the Portfolio.
If you sell units with a value of at least $250,000, you may choose to receive
your distribution 'in kind.' If you so choose, you
9
<PAGE>
will receive securities and cash with a total value equal to the price of your
units. The Trustee will try to distribute securities in the portfolio pro rata,
but it reserves the right to distribute only one or a few securities. The
Trustee will act as your agent in an in-kind distribution and will either hold
the securities for your account or transfer them as you instruct. You must pay
any transaction costs as well as transfer and ongoing custodial fees on sales of
securities distributed in kind.
There could be a delay in paying you for your units:
o if the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
o if the SEC determines that trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted or that an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the
securities not reasonably practicable; and
o for any other period permitted by SEC order.
ROLLOVER/EXCHANGE OPTION
When this Portfolio is about to terminate, you may have the option to roll your
proceeds into the next S&P Industrial Portfolio if one is available.
If you hold your Units with one of the Sponsors and notify your financial
adviser by November 10, 2000, your units will be redeemed and certain
distributed securities plus the proceeds from the sale of the remaining
distributed securities will be reinvested in units of a new Select S&P
Industrial Portfolio Series. If you decide not to roll over your proceeds, you
will receive a cash distribution (or, if you so choose, an in-kind distribution)
after the Portfolio terminates.
The Portfolio will terminate by December 11, 2000. You may, by written notice to
the Trustee at least ten business days prior to termination, elect to receive an
in-kind distribution of your pro rata share of the Securities remaining in the
Portfolio at that time (net of your share of expenses). Of course you can sell
your Units at any time prior to termination.
If you continue to hold your Units, you may exchange units of this Portfolio any
time before this Portfolio terminates for units of certain other Defined Asset
Funds at a reduced sales fee if your investment goals change. In addition, you
may exchange into this Fund from certain other Defined Asset Funds. To exchange
units, you should talk to your financial professional about what Portfolios are
exchangeable, suitable and currently available.
We may amend or terminate the options to exchange your units or roll your
proceeds at any time without notice.
HOW THE FUND WORKS
PRICING
Units are charged a combination of initial and deferred sales fees.
In addition, during the initial offering period, a portion of the price of a
unit also consists of securities to pay all or some of the costs of organizing
the Portfolio including:
o cost of initial preparation of legal documents;
o federal and state registration fees;
10
<PAGE>
o initial fees and expenses of the Trustee;
o initial audit; and
o legal expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses.
The estimated organization costs will be deducted from the assets of the
Portfolio as of the close of the initial offering period.
The deferred sales fee is generally a monthly charge of $1.75 per 1,000 units
and is accrued in ten monthly installments. Units redeemed or repurchased prior
to the accrual of the final deferred sales fee installment will have the amount
of any remaining installments deducted from the redemption or repurchase
proceeds or deducted in calculating an in-kind distribution, however, this
deduction will be waived in the event of the death or disability (as defined in
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) of an investor. The initial sales fee is
equal to the aggregate sales fee less the aggregate amount of any remaining
installments of the deferred sales fee.
It is anticipated that securities will not be sold to pay the deferred sales fee
until after the date of the last installment. Investors will be at risk for
market price fluctuations in the securities from the several installment accrual
dates to the dates of actual sale of securities to satisfy this liability.
EVALUATIONS
The Trustee values the securities on each business day (i.e., any day other than
Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays as observed by the New York Stock
Exchange: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas).
If the securities are listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market, evaluations are generally based on closing sales prices on that
exchange or that system or, if closing sales prices are not available, at the
mean between the closing bid and offer prices.
INCOME
o The annual income per unit, after deducting estimated annual Portfolio
expenses per unit, will depend primarily upon the amount of dividends declared
and paid by the issuers of the securities and changes in the expenses of the
Portfolio and, to a lesser degree, upon the level of purchases of additional
securities and sales of securities. There is no assurance that dividends on
the securities will continue at their current levels or be declared at all.
o Each unit receives an equal share of distributions of dividend income net of
estimated expenses. Because dividends on the securities are not received at a
constant rate throughout the year, any distribution may be more or less than
the amount then credited to the income account. The Trustee credits dividends
received to an Income Account and other receipts to a Capital Account. The
Trustee may establish a reserve account by withdrawing from these accounts
amounts it considers appropriate to pay any material liability. These accounts
do not bear interest.
EXPENSES
The Trustee is paid a fee monthly. It also benefits when it holds cash for the
Portfolio in non-interest bearing accounts. The Trustee may also receive
additional amounts:
11
<PAGE>
o for extraordinary services and costs of indemnifying the Trustee and the
Sponsors;
o costs of actions taken to protect the Portfolio and other legal fees and
expenses;
o expenses for keeping the Portfolio's registration statement current; and
o Portfolio termination expenses and any governmental charges.
The Sponsors are currently reimbursed up to 70 cents per 1,000 units annually
for providing portfolio supervisory, bookkeeping and administrative services and
for any other expenses properly chargeable to the Portfolio. While this fee may
exceed the amount of these costs and expenses attributable to this Portfolio,
the total of these fees for all Series of Defined Asset Funds will not exceed
the aggregate amount attributable to all of these Series for any calendar year.
Certain of these expenses were previously paid for by the Sponsors.
Standard & Poor's is a trademark of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and has been
licensed for use by Defined Asset Funds. The Portfolio is not sponsored,
managed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's.
S&P receives a minimal annual fee from the Portfolio to cover its license to the
agent for the Sponsors of the use of the trademarks and trade names 'Standard &
Poor's', 'S&P' and other trademarks and trade names, and the S&P Industrial
Index.
The Trustee's and Sponsors'fees may be adjusted for inflation without investors'
approval.
The deferred sales fees you owe are paid from the Capital Account. Although we
may collect the deferred sales charge monthly, to keep Units more fully invested
we do not currently plan to pay the deferred sales charge until after the
rollover notification date.
The Sponsors will pay advertising and selling expenses at no charge to the
Portfolio. If Portfolio expenses exceed initial estimates, the Portfolio will
owe the excess. The Trustee has a lien on Portfolio assets to secure
reimbursement of Portfolio expenses and may sell securities if cash is not
available.
PORTFOLIO CHANGES
If we maintain a secondary market in units but are unable to sell the units that
we buy in the secondary market, we will redeem units, which will affect the size
and composition of the portfolio.
We decide whether to offer units for sale that we acquire in the secondary
market after reviewing:
o diversity of the Portfolio;
o size of the Portfolio relative to its original size;
o ratio of Portfolio expenses to income; and
o cost of maintaining a current prospectus.
PORTFOLIO TERMINATION
When the Portfolio is about to terminate you will receive a notice, and you will
be unable to sell your units after that time. Unless you choose to receive an
in-kind distribution of securities, we will sell any remaining securities, and
you will receive your final distribution in cash.
You will pay your share of the expenses associated with termination, including
brokerage costs in selling securities. This may reduce the amount you receive as
your final distribution.
12
<PAGE>
NO CERTIFICATES
All investors are required to hold their Units in uncertificated form and in
'street name' by their broker, dealer or financial institution at the Depository
Trust Company.
TRUST INDENTURE
The Portfolio is a 'unit investment trust' governed by a Trust Indenture, a
contract among the Sponsors and the Trustee, which sets forth their duties and
obligations and your rights. A copy of the Indenture is available to you on
request to the Trustee. The following summarizes certain provisions of the
Indenture.
The Sponsors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture without your consent:
o to cure ambiguities;
o to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;
o to make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or
o to make other changes determined not to be materially adverse to your best
interest (as determined by the Sponsors).
Investors holding 51% of the units may amend the Indenture. Every investor must
consent to any amendment that changes the 51% requirement. No amendment may
reduce your interest in the Portfolio without your written consent.
The Trustee may resign by notifying the Sponsors. The Sponsors may remove the
Trustee without your consent if:
o it fails to perform its duties;
o it becomes incapable of acting or bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by
public authorities; or
o the Sponsors determine that its replacement is in your best interest.
Investors holding 51% of the units may remove the Trustee. The Trustee may
resign or be removed by the Sponsors without the consent of investors. The
resignation or removal of the Trustee becomes effective when a successor accepts
appointment. The Sponsors will try to appoint a successor promptly; however, if
no successor has accepted within 30 days after notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition a court to appoint a successor.
Any Sponsor may resign as long as one Sponsor with a net worth of $2 million
remains and agrees to the resignation. The remaining Sponsors and the Trustee
may appoint a replacement. If there is only one Sponsor and it fails to perform
its duties or becomes bankrupt the Trustee may:
o remove it and appoint a replacement Sponsor;
o liquidate the Portfolio; or
o continue to act as Trustee without a Sponsor.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acts as agent for the
Sponsors.
The Trust Indenture contains customary provisions limiting the liability of the
Trustee and the Sponsors.
LEGAL OPINION
Davis Polk & Wardwell, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as
special counsel for the Sponsors, has given an opinion that the units are
validly issued.

Each Sponsor is a Delaware corporation and it, or its predecessor, has acted as
sponsor to many unit investment trusts. As a registered broker-dealer each
Sponsor buys and sells securities (including investment company shares) for
others (including investment companies) and participates as an underwriter in
various selling groups.
TRUSTEE
The Bank of New York, Unit Trust Department, P.O. Box 974, Wall Street Division,
New York, New York 10268-0974, is the Trustee. It is supervised by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and New York State banking authorities.
UNDERWRITERS' AND SPONSORS' PROFITS
Underwriters receive sales charges when they sell units. Any cash made available
by you to the Sponsors before the settlement date for those units may be used in
the Sponsors' businesses to the extent permitted by federal law and may benefit
the Sponsors.
A Sponsor or Underwriter may realize profits or sustain losses on stocks in the
Portfolio which were acquired from underwriting syndicates of which it was a
member.
During the initial offering period, the Sponsors also may realize profits or
sustain losses on units they hold. The profit or loss from the Portfolio will
include the receipt of applicable sales charges, fluctuation in the price per
unit, a loss of $371.10 on the initial deposit of the securities and a gain or
loss on subsequent deposits of securities. In maintaining a secondary market,
the Sponsors will also realize profits or sustain losses in the amount of any
difference between the prices at which they buy units and the prices at which
they resell or redeem them.
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
During the initial offering period, units will be distributed to the public by
the Sponsors and dealers who are members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
The Sponsors do not intend to qualify units for sale in any foreign countries.
This prospectus
14
<PAGE>
does not constitute an offer to sell units in any country where units cannot
lawfully be sold.
Prudential Securities Incorporated, which will participate only in rollover
sales, will receive a preferred dealer concession of $13.00 per 1,000 units of
this Portfolio.
CODE OF ETHICS
Merrill Lynch, as agent for the Sponsors, has adopted a code of ethics requiring
reporting of personal securities transactions by its employees with access to
information on portfolio transactions. The goal of the code is to prevent fraud,
deception or misconduct against the Portfolio and to provide reasonable
standards of conduct.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many computer systems were designed in such a way that they may be unable to
distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900 (commonly known as the 'Year
2000 Problem'). We do not expect that the computer system changes necessary to
prepare for the Year 2000 will cause any major operational difficulties for the
Portfolio. The Year 2000 Problem may adversely affect the issuers of the
securities contained in the Portfolio, but we cannot predict whether any impact
will be material to the Portfolio as a whole.
ADVERTISING AND SALES MATERIAL
Sales material may discuss developing a long-term financial plan, working with
your financial professional; the nature and risks of various investment
strategies and Defined Asset Funds that could help you toward your financial
goals and the importance of discipline; how securities are selected for these
funds, how the funds are created and operated, features such as convenience and
costs, and options available for certain types of funds including automatic
reinvestment, rollover, exchanges and redemption. It may also summarize some
similarities and differences with mutual funds and discuss the philosophy of
spending time in the market rather than trying to time the market, including
probabilities of negative returns over various holding periods.
Advertising and sales literature may contain cumulative past performance of the
hypothetical Strategy, either in dollars or average annualized returns (changes
in market prices with dividends reinvested at year ends) for various periods,
compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, the S&P Industrial Index and the
Dow Jones Industrial Average. Strategy figures reflect deduction of Portfolio
sales charges and estimated expenses. Sales material may also illustrate
hypothetical Strategy results of regular accumulations and withdrawals of
specified sums and discuss possible tax savings.
This contrarian Strategy is based on principles that time in the market is more
important than timing the market, the stocks to buy are the ones others are
selling, and dividends can be an important part of total return. It seeks to
identify stocks that may be undervalued or out of favor. While indexing attempts
to mirror market trends, the Portfolio's screening process selects stocks from a
major index for a combination of value, capital appreciation potential and
current dividend income. Because of this disciplined screening process,
15
<PAGE>
investors are relieved of making individual buy and sell decisions.
TAXES
The following summary describes some of the important income tax consequences of
holding units. It assumes that you are not a dealer, financial institution,
insurance company or other investor with special circumstances or subject to
special rules. You should consult your own tax adviser about your particular
circumstances.
In the opinion of our counsel, under existing law:
GENERAL TREATMENT OF THE FUND AND YOUR INVESTMENT
The Portfolio will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes, and you will be considered to own directly your share of each Security
in the Portfolio.
You will be considered to receive your share of any dividends paid when those
dividends are received by the Portfolio. Income from dividends will be taxed at
ordinary income rates. If you are a corporate investor, you may be eligible for
the dividends received deduction if you satisfy the applicable holding period
and other requirements. You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.
GAIN OR LOSS UPON DISPOSITION
You will generally recognize gain or loss when you dispose of your units for
cash (by sale or redemption) or when the Trustee disposes of the Securities in
the Portfolio. You generally will not recognize gain or loss on an 'in-kind'
distribution to you of your proportional share of the Portfolio Securities,
whether it is in redemption of your units or upon termination of the Portfolio.
Your holding period for the distributed Securities will include your holding
period in your units.
If you elect to roll over your investment in the Portfolio, you will recognize
gain or loss only with respect to your share of these Securities that are not
rolled over into a new portfolio. You will not recognize gain or loss with
respect to your share of those Securities that are rolled over and your basis in
those Securities will remain the same as before the rollover.
If your net long-term capital gains exceed your net short-term capital losses,
the excess may be subject to tax at a lower rate than ordinary income. Any
capital gain or loss from the Portfolio will be long-term if you are considered
to have held your investment that produces the gain or loss for more than one
year and short-term otherwise. Because the deductibility of capital losses is
subject to limitations, you may not be able to deduct all of your capital
losses. You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.
YOUR TAX BASIS IN THE SECURITIES
Your aggregate tax basis in units that you have purchased for cash will be equal
to the cost of the units, including the sales fee. Your aggregate tax basis in
units that you hold as a result of a rollover from an earlier portfolio will
equal your basis in Securities that have been rolled over from the previous
portfolio plus the proceeds (other than proceeds that were paid to you) from the
sale of Securities from the portfolio which were not rolled over. You should not
increase your basis in your units by deferred sales charges or organizational
expenses. The tax reporting form and annual
16
<PAGE>
statements you receive will be based on the net amounts paid to you, from which
these expenses will already be deducted. Your basis for Securities distributed
to you will be the same as the portion of your basis in your units that is
attributable to the distributed Securities.
EXPENSES
If you are an individual who itemizes deductions, you may deduct your share of
Portfolio expenses, but only to the extent that your share of the expenses,
together with your other miscellaneous deductions, exceeds 2% of your adjusted
gross income. Your ability to deduct Portfolio expenses will be limited further
if your adjusted gross income exceeds a specified amount (currently, $126,600 or
$63,300 for a married person filing separately).
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Under the income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Portfolio will
not be taxed as a corporation, and the income of the Portfolio will be treated
as the income of the investors in the same manner as for federal income tax
purposes.
FOREIGN INVESTORS
If you are a foreign investor and you are not engaged in a U.S. trade or
business, you generally will be subject to 30% withholding tax (or a lower
applicable treaty rate) on dividend distributions. You should consult your tax
adviser about the possible application of federal, state and local, and foreign
taxes.
RETIREMENT PLANS
You may wish to purchase units for an Individual Retirement Account ('IRAs') or
other retirement plan. Generally, capital gains and income received in each of
these plans are exempt from federal taxation. All distributions from these types
of plans are generally treated as ordinary income but may, in some cases, be
eligible for tax-deferred rollover treatment. You should consult your attorney
or tax adviser about the specific tax rules relating to these plans. These plans
are offered by brokerage firms, including the Sponsors of this Portfolio, and
other financial institutions. Fees and charges with respect to such plans may
vary.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
You can receive at no cost supplemental information about the Portfolio by
calling the Trustee. The supplemental information includes more detailed risk
disclosure and general information about the structure and operation of the
Portfolio. The supplemental information is also available from the SEC.

Portfolio 1999 Series G, Defined Asset Funds (the 'Portfolio'):
We have audited the accompanying statement of condition and the related defined
portfolio included in the prospectus of the Portfolio as of November 1, 1999.
This financial statement is the responsibility of the Trustee. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our procedures included
confirmation of an irrevocable letter of credit deposited for the purchase of
securities, as described in the statement of condition, with the Trustee. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Trustee, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of November 1,
1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Aggregate cost to the Portfolio of the securities listed under
Defined Portfolio determined by the Trustee at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on
October 29, 1999. The contracts to purchase securities are collateralized by an
irrevocable letter of credit which has been issued by DG Bank, New York Branch,
in the amount of $448,920.50 and deposited with the Trustee. The amount of the
letter of credit includes $448,549.40 for the purchase of securities.
(2) A portion of the Public Offering Price consists of securities in
an amount sufficient to pay all or a portion of the costs incurred in
establishing the Portfolio. These costs have been estimated at $0.96 per 1,000
Units. A distribution will be made as of the close of the initial offering
period to an account maintained by the Trustee from which the organization
expenses obligation of the investors will be satisfied. If the actual
organization costs exceed the estimated aggregate amount shown above, the
Sponsors will pay for this excess amount.
(3) Because the value of securities at the evaluation time on the
Initial Date of Deposit may differ from the amounts shown in this statement of
condition, the number of Units offered on the Initial Date of Deposit will be
adjusted to maintain the $999.98 per 1,000 Units offering price only for that
day. The Public Offering Price on any subsequent business day will vary.
(4) Aggregate public offering price computed on the basis of the value
of the underlying securities at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on October 29, 1999.
(5) Assumes the maximum initial sales charge per 1,000 units of 1.00%
of the Public Offering Price. A deferred sales charge of $1.75 per 1,000 Units
is payable on January 1, 2000 and thereafter on the 1st day of each month
through October 1, 2000. Distributions will be made to an account maintained by
the Trustee from which the deferred sales charge obligation of the investors to
the Sponsors will be satisfied. If units are redeemed prior to October 1, 2000,
the remaining portion of the distribution applicable to such units will be
transferred to such account on the redemption date.
