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

                     CUMMER/MOYERS HIGH YIELD CORPORATE FUND

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

     The  Fund's  investment  objective  is to  provide a high  level of current
     income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

     The Fund invests primarily in a diversified group of low-quality, high-risk
     corporate bonds, convertible securities and asset-backed securities.  Under
     normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's assets will be invested in
     high-yield securities rated BBB or lower by Moody's Investors Service. Inc.
     or Standard & Poor's  Corporation.  The Fund may also  invest in  corporate
     issues that have defaulted.

     The  securities  in which the Fund will invest are low  quality,  high-risk
     securities.  Because of their low credit quality, these securities must pay
     higher interest rates to compensate  investors for the  substantial  credit
     risk they assume.

     To choose the securities in which the Fund will invest,  the Fund's Adviser
     conducts  solid  fundamental  credit  research  on each  issuer and broadly
     diversifies  the Fund's  holdings.  Diversifying  the Fund's holdings means
     that the Fund will hold small  positions in a large  number of issuers,  so
     that problems with a singe issuer will not have a large negative  impact on
     the Fund.

     The Fund  normally  invests at least 65% of its assets in, and will  choose
     its investments from, the following types of securities:

     o    Corporate  debt-  As the name  implies,  corporate  debt  obligations-
          usually called bonds-represent loans by an investor to a corporation.

     o    Asset-backed  securities- These securities represent partial ownership
          in pools of consumer of  commercial  loans-  most often  credit  card,
          automobile or trade receivables. Asset-backed securities are issued by
          entities  formed solely for that purpose,  but their value  ultimately
          depends on  repayments  by  underlying  borrowers.  A primary  risk of
          asset-backed  securities is that their  maturities are hard to predict
          because  of the  fluctuating  repayment  patterns  of  the  underlying
          borrowers.

     o    Convertible securities- Bonds or preferred stocks that are convertible
          into, or  exchangeable  for,  common  stocks are known as  convertible
          securities.

                                       1
<PAGE>

     o    Preferred  stocks-  Preferred  stock is corporate  stock that pays set
          dividends to their  holders.  Preferred  stock has a superior claim on
          the issuer's income and assets, but a lower claim on income and assets
          than corporate bond holders.

     o    Collateralized  Mortgage  Obligations (CMOs)- CMOs are securities that
          are collateralized by mortgages or mortgage  pass-through  securities.
          When CMOs are created,  the rights to receive  principal  and interest
          payments on the  underlying  mortgages are divided up to create short,
          intermediate  and long term CMO bonds.  These rights are delegated and
          divided  among the various  maturity  structures  of the CMOs based on
          assumptions made by the creators  concerning the timiong of cash flows
          on the underlying mortgages,  including expected prepayment rates. The
          primary risk of a CMO is that the assumptions  are wrong,  which would
          result in the CMO having either a shorter or longer  maturity than was
          expected.

     Typically,  the  Adviser  expects  that the  majority  (50% or more) of the
     Fund's assets will invested in corporate and convertible bonds.

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

     General Risks- All investments are subject to inherent risks,  and the Fund
     is no exception.  Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
     When you sell your Fund  shares,  they may be worth  more or less than what
     you paid for them  because  the value of the Fund's  investments  will vary
     from day-to-day,  reflecting changes in market  conditions,  interest rates
     and numerous other factors.

     Credit Risk- Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will fail
     to pay principal and interest in a timely manner, reducing the Fund's total
     return. Credit risk will be substantial for the Fund.

     Interest  Rate  Risk-  Interest  rate  risk is the risk  that  bond  prices
     overall,  including the prices of securities held by the Fund, will decline
     over short or even long periods of time due to rising interest rates. Bonds
     with longer  maturities  tend to be more  sensitive to interest  rates than
     bonds with shorter maturities.

     Income Risk- Income risk is the risk that falling interest rates will cause
     the Fund's income to decline.

     Management  Risk- The  Fund's  overall  success  depends  on the  Adviser's
     ability to choose  productive  securities  for the Fund.  If the Adviser is
     unable to successfully  choose  productive  securities,  the Fund may under
     perform  other  funds  with  similar  investment   objectives.   Acting  as
     investment  adviser to the Fund is a new position for the Adviser,  and the
     Fund has no operating history.

     Year  2000  Risks- As with  other  mutual  funds,  financial  and  business
     organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
     affected if the  computer  systems used by the Adviser and the Fund's other
     service providers don't properly process and calculate

                                       2
<PAGE>

     date-related  information  and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is
     commonly known as the "Year 2000" or "Y2K"  problem.  The Adviser is taking
     steps to address the Y2K problem with respect to the computer  systems that
     it uses and to obtain  assurances that comparable  steps are being taken by
     the Fund's  other major  service  providers.  The Adviser  will monitor the
     companies  in which the Fund  invests  for  evidence  of Y2K  preparedness.
     However,  there can be no assurance  that the Fund's  portfolio will not be
     adversely affected by the Y2K problem.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED IN THE PAST?

     Because this is a new Fund that does not yet have an operating  history,  a
     performance  bar chart and table  describing the Fund's annual  performance
     and comparing that performance to appropriate indices is not yet available.
     Performance  information  will be included in the Fund's first  semi-annual
     and  annual  reports,  which  will be sent to you  without  charge  at your
     request. Simply contact the Fund at 1-800-___-____.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S FEES AND EXPENSES?

     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

               Maximum Deferred Sales                      1.00%
               Charge (Load)

               Maximum Sales Charge (Load)                 NONE
               Imposed on Reinvested Dividends
               And other Distributions

               Redemption Fees                             NONE

               =================================================

                         Annual Fund Operating Expenses:
                         -------------------------------
                  (expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)

               Management Fees1                            1.25%

               Distribution (12b-1) Fees2                  1.00%
               Other Expenses3                             0.00%
                                                           -----
               Total Annual
               Fund Operating Expenses                     2.25%

               =================================================

1.   Management fees include a fee of 0.75% for investment advisory services and
     0.50%  for  administrative  and other  services.  Both fees are paid to the
     Fund's Adviser pursuant to separate agreements for each service.
2.   0.25%  of  this  fee  represents   servicing  fees,  and  0.75%  represents
     distribution  fees.  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.   The Fund's Adviser is responsible for paying all the Fund's expenses except
     taxes,  interest,  litigation  expenses and other  extraordinary  expenses.
     Because  the Fund  believes  that it will not incur  any of these  expenses
     during its first fiscal year, no expenses are included in this category.

AN EXAMPLE OF EXPENSES OVER TIME:

The expense  example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund  with the cost of  investing  in other  mutual  funds.  The  example
assumes  that you  invest  $10,000 in the Fund for the time  periods  indicated,
reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all

                                       3
<PAGE>

your shares at the end of those  periods.  The example  also  assumes  that your
investment  has a 5% return  each year and that the  Fund's  operating  expenses
remain the same.  Although  your actual  costs may be higher or lower,  based on
these assumptions your costs would be:

                  ONE YEAR                   THREE YEARS
                  --------                   -----------
                   $ ----                      $ -----

If you did not redeem your shares, your expense would be:

                  ONE YEAR                   THREE YEARS
                  --------                   -----------
                   $ ----                      $ -----

                      CUMMER/MOYERS DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

     The  Fund's  investment  objective  is to  provide a high  level of current
     income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

     The  Adviser  attempts  to achieve  the  Fund's  investment  objectives  by
     investing in a  diversified  group of  corporate  and U.S.  government  and
     government agency securities.  Under normal circumstances,  at least 50% of
     the Fund's assets will be invested in investment grade securities rated BBB
     or  higher  by  Moody's  Investors  Service.  Inc.  or  Standard  &  Poor's
     Corporation,  or their  equivalent.  The remaining  assets will normally be
     invested in non-investment grade securities (less than BBB or equivalent)

     In  choosing  securities  for the  Fund to  purchase,  the  Fund's  Adviser
     analyzes  general  interest rate trends to determine  the overall  maturity
     structure of the Fund's portfolio,  then selects  securities from among the
     Fund's permissible investments that appear to be undervalued in relation to
     the  overall  interest  rate  market  for those  securities.  When  general
     interest  rates are rising,  the Fund will  shorten  the  overall  maturity
     structure  of the Fund.  When  interest  rates are  falling,  the Fund will
     extend its overall maturity structure.

     The Fund  normally  invests at least 65% of its assets in, and will  choose
     its investments from, the following types of securities:

     o    Corporate  debt-  As the name  implies,  corporate  debt  obligations-
          usually called bonds-represent loans by an investor to a corporation.

     o    U.S.  government and agency debt- These securities  represent loans by
          an  investor  to the U.S.  Treasury  Department  or a wide  variety of
          governmental agencies and instrumentalities.

                                       4
<PAGE>

          Timely  payment of  principal  and interest on U.S.  Treasury  Debt is
          always guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government;
          many (but not all) agency debt securities have the same guarantee.

     o    Asset-backed  securities- These securities represent partial ownership
          in pools of consumer of  commercial  loans-  most often  credit  card,
          automobile or trade receivables. Asset-backed securities are issued by
          entities  formed solely for that purpose,  but their value  ultimately
          depends on  repayments  by  underlying  borrowers.  A primary  risk of
          asset-backed  securities is that their  maturities are hard to predict
          because  of the  fluctuating  repayment  patterns  of  the  underlying
          borrowers.

     o    Convertible securities- Bonds or preferred stocks that are convertible
          into, or  exchangeable  for,  common  stocks are known as  convertible
          securities.

     o    Preferred  stocks-  Preferred  stock is corporate  stock that pays set
          dividends to their  holders.  Preferred  stock has a superior claim on
          the issuer's income and assets, but a lower claim on income and assets
          than corporate bond holders.

     o    Collateralized  Mortgage  Obligations (CMOs)- CMOs are securities that
          are collateralized by mortgages or mortgage  pass-through  securities.
          When CMOs are created,  the rights to receive  principal  and interest
          payments on the  underlying  mortgages are divided up to create short,
          intermediate  and long term CMO bonds.  These rights are delegated and
          divided  among the various  maturity  structures  of the CMOs based on
          assumptions made by the creators  concerning the timiong of cash flows
          on the underlying mortgages,  including expected prepayment rates. The
          primary risk of a CMO is that the assumptions  are wrong,  which would
          result in the CMO having either a shorter or longer  maturity than was
          expected.

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

     General Risks- All investments are subject to inherent risks,  and the Fund
     is no exception.  Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
     When you sell your Fund  shares,  they may be worth  more or less than what
     you paid for them  because  the value of the Fund's  investments  will vary
     from day-to-day,  reflecting changes in market  conditions,  interest rates
     and numerous other factors.

     Credit Risk- Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will fail
     to pay principal and interest in a timely manner, reducing the Fund's total
     return.  Under normal  circumstances,  at least 50% of the Fund's portfolio
     will be invested in high credit quality  securities so that credit risk for
     the Fund is reduced.

     Interest  Rate  Risk-  Interest  rate  risk is the risk  that  bond  prices
     overall,  including the prices of securities held by the Fund, will decline
     over  short or even  long  periods  of time due to rising  interest  rates.
     Fixed-income securities with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to
     interest rates than bonds with shorter maturities.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     Income Risk- Income risk is the risk that falling interest rates will cause
     the Fund's income to decline.

     Management  Risk- The  Fund's  overall  success  depends  on the  Adviser's
     ability to choose  productive  securities  for the Fund.  If the Adviser is
     unable to successfully  choose  productive  securities,  the Fund may under
     perform  other  funds  with  similar  investment   objectives.   Acting  as
     investment  adviser to the Fund is a new position for the Adviser,  and the
     Fund has no operating history.

     Year  2000  Risks- As with  other  mutual  funds,  financial  and  business
     organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
     affected if the  computer  systems used by the Adviser and the Fund's other
     service  providers  don't  properly  process  and  calculate   date-related
     information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is commonly known
     as the "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problem. The Adviser is taking steps to address
     the Y2K problem with  respect to the  computer  systems that it uses and to
     obtain assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's other
     major  service  providers.  The Adviser will monitor the companies in which
     the Fund invests for evidence of Y2K preparedness. However, there can be no
     assurance that the Fund's  portfolio will not be adversely  affected by the
     Y2K problem.  Further,  foreign issuers may not be as well prepared for the
     Y2K problem as U.S. issuers, and this may pose additional risk to the Fund.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED IN THE PAST?

     Because this is a new Fund that does not yet have an operating  history,  a
     performance  bar chart and table  describing the Fund's annual  performance
     and comparing that performance to appropriate indices is not yet available.
     Performance  information  will be included in the Fund's first  semi-annual
     and  annual  reports,  which  will be sent to you  without  charge  at your
     request. Simply contact the Fund at 1-800-___-____.

1.  Management fees include a fee of 0.50% for investment  advisory services and
    0.50%  for  administrative  and  other  services.  Both fees are paid to the
    Fund's Adviser pursuant to separate agreements for each service.
2.  0.25%  of  this  fee  represents   servicing  fees,  and  0.75%   represents
    distribution fees. 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.  The Fund's Adviser is responsible  for paying all the Fund's expenses except
    taxes,  interest,  litigation  expenses  and other  extraordinary  expenses.
    Because  the Fund  believes  that it will not  incur  any of these  expenses
    during its first fiscal year, no expenses are included in this category.

AN EXAMPLE OF EXPENSES OVER TIME:

The expense  example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund  with the cost of  investing  in other  mutual  funds.  The  example
assumes  that you  invest  $10,000 in the Fund for the time  periods  indicated,
reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all your shares at the
end of those periods (because the Fund does not charge any redemption fees, your
expenses would be the same even if you did not redeem your shares).  The example
also assumes that your  investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's
operating expenses remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be higher or
lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

                  ONE YEAR          THREE YEARS
                  --------          -----------
                   $ ----             $ -----

If you did not redeem your shares, your expenses would be:

                  ONE YEAR          THREE YEARS
                  --------          -----------

                     CUMMER/MOYERS TOTAL RETURN INCOME FUND

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

     The Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of capital.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

     The Fund invests in a variety of securities that have historically produced
     consistent  current  income and have the potential  for  long-term  capital
     growth. These securities include:

     o    Common stocks of public  utility  companies and other  companies  that
          historically have paid consistent dividends on their stock;
     o    Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS);
     o    Preferred stocks;
     o    Preferred stocks that are convertible into common stocks;

                                       7
<PAGE>

     o    Convertible securities; and
     o    Corporate debt securities.

     Real Estate  Investment  Trusts (REITS)- REITS are securities that give the
     owners a proportionate  interest in the issuer's  assets,  which consist of
     diffent types of real estate holdings. Equity REITs invest directly in real
     property while  mortgage REITs invest in mortgages on real property.  REITs
     pay  dividends  to their  shareholders  based  upon  available  funds  from
     operations.  REITS also incur fees and expenses of  operations,  which fees
     are indirectly borne by you when the Fund invests in REITS.

     Corporate debt- As the name implies,  corporate debt  obligations-  usually
     called bonds- represent loans by an investor to a corporation.

     Convertible  securities-  Bonds or  preferred  stocks that are  convertible
     into,  or  exchangeable   for,  common  stocks  are  known  as  convertible
     securities.

     Preferred  stocks-  Preferred  stock  is  corporate  stock  that  pays  set
     dividends to their  holders.  Preferred  stock has a superior  claim on the
     issuer's  income and  assets,  but a lower  claim on income and assets than
     corporate bond holders.

     To  choose  the  securities  in which  the Fund will  invest,  the  Adviser
     conducts  fundamental analysis of the issuer, and further analyzes interest
     rate trends and the  consequences  of changes in general rates on each type
     of security and issuer.  The Adviser then chooses  securities which, in the
     Adviser's  opinion,  will  perform  best  under  the  Adviser's  forecasted
     conditions.

     The Fund  will  only  invest in  securities  rated B or  higher by  Moody's
     Investors  Service.  Inc.  or  Standard  &  Poor's  Corporation,  or  their
     equivalent.

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

     General Risks- All investments are subject to inherent risks,  and the Fund
     is no exception.  Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
     When you sell your Fund  shares,  they may be worth  more or less than what
     you paid for them  because  the value of the Fund's  investments  will vary
     from day-to-day,  reflecting changes in market  conditions,  interest rates
     and numerous other factors.

     Stock  Market  Risk-  The stock  market  tends to trade in  cyclical  price
     patterns, with prices generally rising or falling over sustained periods of
     time. The Fund will be subject to the risks  associated with common stocks,
     including price volatility and the creditworthiness of the issuing company.

     Credit Risk- Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will fail
     to pay principal and interest in a timely manner, reducing the Fund's total
     return.

     Interest  Rate  Risk-  Interest  rate  risk is the risk  that  bond  prices
     overall,  including the prices of securities held by the Fund, will decline
     over short or even long periods of time due to rising

                                       8
<PAGE>

     interest rates.  Bonds with longer  maturities tend to be more sensitive to
     interest rates than bonds with shorter maturities.

     Income Risk- Income risk is the risk that falling interest rates will cause
     the Fund's income to decline.

     REITS-  REITs may be subject to certain  risks  associated  with the direct
     ownership of real estate,  including  declines in the value of real estate,
     risks related to general and local economic  conditions,  overbuilding  and
     increased competition,  increases in property taxes and operating expenses,
     and  variations in rental income.  Also, the fees and expenses  incurred by
     these securities will be indirectly paid by Fund shareholders.

     Management  Risk- The  Fund's  overall  success  depends  on the  Adviser's
     ability to choose  productive  securities  for the Fund.  If the Adviser is
     unable to successfully  choose  productive  securities,  the Fund may under
     perform  other  funds  with  similar  investment   objectives.   Acting  as
     investment  adviser to the Fund is a new position for the Adviser,  and the
     Fund has no operating history.

     Year  2000  Risks- As with  other  mutual  funds,  financial  and  business
     organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
     affected if the  computer  systems used by the Adviser and the Fund's other
     service  providers  don't  properly  process  and  calculate   date-related
     information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is commonly known
     as the "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problem. The Adviser is taking steps to address
     the Y2K problem with  respect to the  computer  systems that it uses and to
     obtain assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's other
     major  service  providers.  The Adviser will monitor the companies in which
     the Fund invests for evidence of Y2K preparedness. However, there can be no
     assurance that the Fund's  portfolio will not be adversely  affected by the
     Y2K problem.  Further,  foreign issuers may not be as well prepared for the
     Y2K problem as U.S. issuers, and this may pose additional risk to the Fund.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED IN THE PAST?

     Because this is a new Fund that does not yet have an operating  history,  a
     performance  bar chart and table  describing the Fund's annual  performance
     and comparing that performance to appropriate indices is not yet available.
     Performance  information  will be included in the Fund's first  semi-annual
     and  annual  reports,  which  will be sent to you  without  charge  at your
     request. Simply contact the Fund at 1-800-___-____.

1.  Management fees include a fee of 0.75% for investment  advisory services and
    0.50%  for  administrative  and  other  services.  Both fees are paid to the
    Fund's Adviser pursuant to separate agreements for each service.
2.  0.25%  of  this  fee  represents   servicing  fees,  and  0.75%   represents
    distribution fees. 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.  The Fund's Adviser is responsible  for paying all the Fund's expenses except
    taxes,  interest,  litigation  expenses  and other  extraordinary  expenses.
    Because  the Fund  believes  that it will not  incur  any of these  expenses
    during its first fiscal year, no expenses are included in this category.

                      CUMMER/MOYERS AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

     The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

     The Adviser attempts to achieve the Fund's investment goals by:

     o    investing  in common  stocks  without  restrictions  regarding  market
          capitalization;
     o    normally  investing  at least  75% of the  Fund's  total  assets in US
          common stocks; and
     o    holding a focused portfolio typically of no more than 30 stocks.

     The Fund's Adviser  believes that the Fund's  investment  objective is best
     achieved  by  investing  in  companies   that  exhibit  the  potential  for
     significant  growth over the long term. The Adviser defines  long-term as a
     time  horizon of at least  three  years.  To identify  companies  that have
     significant growth potential, the Adviser employs a value-oriented approach
     to stock selection. To choose the securities in which the Fund will invest,
     the Adviser  seeks to identify  companies  which exhibit some or all of the
     following criteria:

     o    low price-to-earnings ratio ("P/E");
     o    low price-to-book value or tangible asset value;
     o    excellent prospects for growth;
     o    strong franchise;
     o    highly qualified management;
     o    consistent free cash flow; and
     o    high returns on invested capital.

     The Fund may  invest up to 25% of its total  assets in  foreign  securities
     that are  traded  on a U.S.  exchange,  either  directly  or in the form of
     American  Depository  Receipts ("ADRs").  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  will  normally  invest  its  remaining  assets,  if any,  in cash
     equivalents,  such as U.S. government debt instruments,  other money market
     mutual funds, and repurchase agreements.

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

     General Risks- All investments are subject to inherent risks,  and the Fund
     is no exception.  Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
     When you sell your Fund  shares,  they may be worth  more or less than what
     you paid for them  because  the value of the Fund's  investments  will vary
     from day-to-day,  reflecting changes in market  conditions,  interest rates
     and numerous other factors.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Stock  Market  Risk-  The stock  market  tends to trade in  cyclical  price
     patterns, with prices generally rising or falling over sustained periods of
     time.  The Fund  invests  primarily in common  stocks,  so the Fund will be
     subject  to the  risks  associated  with  common  stocks,  including  price
     volatility and the creditworthiness of the issuing company.

     Small To  Medium-Cap  Stock  Risks- The Fund may invest in  companies  with
     small to medium market  capitalizations  (generally  less than $6 billion).
     Because  these  companies  are  relatively   small  compared  to  large-cap
     companies,  may be engaged in business  mostly within their own  geographic
     region,  and may be less well-known to the investment  community,  they can
     have more volatile  share prices.  Also,  small  companies  often have less
     liquidity,  less  management  depth,  narrower  market  penetrations,  less
     diverse  product lines,  and fewer  resources than larger  companies.  As a
     result,  their stock  prices  often  react more  strongly to changes in the
     marketplace.

     Foreign  Securities Risk- Investments in foreign securities involve greater
     risks compared to domestic investments for the following reasons:

     o    Foreign  companies are not subject to the regulatory  requirements  of
          U.S.  companies,  so there may be less publicly available  information
          about foreign issuers than U.S. companies.
     o    Foreign  companies  generally  are not subject to uniform  accounting,
          auditing and financial reporting standards.
     o    Dividends and interest on foreign securities may be subject to foreign
          withholding  taxes.  Such  taxes  may  reduce  the net  return to Fund
          shareholders.
     o    Foreign  securities are often denominated in a currency other than the
          U.S.  dollar.  Accordingly,  the Fund  will be  subject  to the  risks
          associated with fluctuations in currency values.
     o    Although  the Fund  will  only  invest  in  foreign  issuers  that are
          domiciled   in  nations   considered   to  have  stable  and  friendly
          governments, there is the possibility of expropriation,  confiscation,
          taxation,  currency blockage or political or social  instability which
          could negatively affect the Fund.

     Focused Portfolio Risk- The Fund is classified as  "non-diversified"  under
     the federal  securities  laws.  This means that the Fund has the ability to
     concentrate  a  relatively  high  percentage  of  its  investments  in  the
     securities of a small number of  companies.  Investing in this manner makes
     the Fund more  susceptible  to a single  economic,  political or regulatory
     event than a more diversified fund might be. Also, a change in the value of
     a single company will have a more pronounced effect on the Fund than such a
     change would have on a more diversified fund.

     Temporary  Defensive  Positions-  Ordinarily,  the Fund's portfolio will be
     invested primarily in common stocks.  However,  the Fund is not required to
     be fully invested in common stocks and, in fact,  usually maintains certain
     cash  reserves.  Depending upon market  conditions,  cash reserves may be a
     significant  percentage  of the Fund's  total net assets.  The Fund usually
     invests  its cash  reserves  in U.S.  Government  debt  instruments,  other
     unaffiliated  mutual funds (money market funds) and repurchase  agreements.
     During times when the Fund holds a significant portion of its net assets in
     cash, it will not be investing according to its investment objectives,  and
     the Fund's performance may be negatively affected as a result.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Management  Risk- The  Fund's  overall  success  depends  on the  Adviser's
     ability to choose  productive  securities  for the Fund.  If the Adviser is
     unable to successfully  choose  productive  securities,  the Fund may under
     perform  other  funds  with  similar  investment   objectives.   Acting  as
     investment  adviser to the Fund is a new position for the Adviser,  and the
     Fund has no operating history.

     Year  2000  Risks- As with  other  mutual  funds,  financial  and  business
     organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
     affected if the  computer  systems used by the Adviser and the Fund's other
     service  providers  don't  properly  process  and  calculate   date-related
     information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is commonly known
     as the "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problem. The Adviser is taking steps to address
     the Y2K problem with  respect to the  computer  systems that it uses and to
     obtain assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's other
     major  service  providers.  The Adviser will monitor the companies in which
     the Fund invests for evidence of Y2K preparedness. However, there can be no
     assurance that the Fund's  portfolio will not be adversely  affected by the
     Y2K problem.  Further,  foreign issuers may not be as well prepared for the
     Y2K problem as U.S. issuers, and this may pose additional risk to the Fund.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED IN THE PAST?

     Because this is a new Fund that does not yet have an operating  history,  a
     performance  bar chart and table  describing the Fund's annual  performance
     and comparing that performance to appropriate indices is not yet available.
     Performance  information  will be included in the Fund's first  semi-annual
     and  annual  reports,  which  will be sent to you  without  charge  at your
     request. Simply contact the Fund at 1-800-___-____.

<PAGE>

1.  Management fees include a fee of 1.00% for investment  advisory services and
    0.50%  for  administrative  and  other  services.  Both fees are paid to the
    Fund's Adviser pursuant to separate agreements for each service.
2.  0.25%  of  this  fee  represents   servicing  fees,  and  0.75%   represents
    distribution fees. 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.  The Fund's Adviser is responsible  for paying all the Fund's expenses except
    taxes,  interest,  litigation  expenses  and other  extraordinary  expenses.
    Because  the Fund  believes  that it will not  incur  any of these  expenses
    during its first fiscal year, no expenses are included in this category.

AN EXAMPLE OF EXPENSES OVER TIME:

The expense  example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund  with the cost of  investing  in other  mutual  funds.  The  example
assumes  that you  invest  $10,000 in the Fund for the time  periods  indicated,
reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all your shares at the
end of those periods (because the Fund does not charge any redemption fees, your
expenses would be the same even if you did not redeem your shares).  The example
also assumes that your  investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's
operating expenses remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be higher or
lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

                  ONE YEAR          THREE YEARS
                  --------          -----------
                   $ ----             $ -----

If you did not redeem your shares, your expenses would be:

                  ONE YEAR          THREE YEARS
                  --------          -----------
                   $ ----             $ -----

                     HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES OF THE FUND

INVESTING IN THE FUND

Determining Share Prices
- ------------------------
Shares of the Fund are offered at each share's net asset value ("NAV").  NAV per
share is  calculated  by adding  the value of Fund  investments,  cash and other
assets, subtracting Fund liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number
of shares  outstanding.  The Fund  generally  determines  the total value of its
shares by using  market  prices for the  securities  comprising  its  portfolio.
Securities  for which  quotations  are not  available  and any other  assets are
valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Adviser,  subject
to the review and  supervision  of the Board of Directors.  The Fund's per share
NAV is  computed  on all days on which the New York Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE") is
open  for  business  at the  close of  regular  trading  hours on the  Exchange,
currently 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time. In the event that the NYSE closes early,  the
share price will be determined as of the time of closing.

Distribution (12b-1) Fees
- -------------------------
The Company has adopted a distribution  plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act for each Fund. The Plans provide that each Fund is authorized
to pay an annualized  fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's  average daily net assets
to compensate certain parties for ongoing shareholder  servicing  activities for
the Fund's shares,  and an annualized  fee of up to 0.75% to compensate  certain
parties for distribution services.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Because  payments under the 12b-1Plan would be paid out of each Fund's assets 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.

Minimum Investment Amounts
- --------------------------
Payments for Fund shares should be in U.S.  dollars,  and in order to avoid fees
and  delays,  should be drawn on a U.S.  bank.  Fund  management  may reject any
purchase order for Fund shares and may waive the minimum  investment  amounts in
its sole discretion.

Your  purchase of Fund  shares is subject to the  following  minimum  investment
amounts:

                  MINIMUM                   MINIMUM

<PAGE>

Your purchase order,  if accompanied by payment,  will be processed upon receipt
by Declaration Service Company, the Fund's Transfer Agent. If the Transfer Agent
receives  your order and  payment  by the close of  regular  trading on the NYSE
(currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), your shares will be purchased at your Fund's
NAV  calculated  at the close of regular  trading on that day.  Otherwise,  your
shares  will be  purchased  at your  Fund's  NAV  determined  as of the close of
regular trading on the next business day.

Purchasing Shares by Wire Transfer
- ----------------------------------
To make an initial  purchase  of shares by wire  transfer,  you need to take the
following steps:

1.   Call 1-800-___-____ to inform us that a wire is being sent.
2.   Obtain an account number from the Transfer Agent.
3.   Fill out and mail or fax an Application Form to the Transfer Agent

redeemed.  Either  fill out and mail the  Application  Form  included  with this
prospectus,  or call the transfer  agent and they will send you an  application.
You should contact your bank (which will need to be a commercial  bank that is a

including any charges that your bank may make for these services.

Purchases through Financial Service Organizations
- -------------------------------------------------
You may purchase shares of the Funds through participating brokers, dealers, and
other financial professionals.  Simply call your investment professional to make
your  purchase.  If you are a client of a securities  broker or other  financial
organization,  such  organizations may charge a separate fee for  administrative
services in connection  with  investments  in Fund shares and may impose account
minimums  and  other  requirements.  These  fees  and  requirements  would be in
addition  to  those  imposed  by the  Funds.  If you  are  investing  through  a
securities broker or other financial  organization,  please refer to its program
materials  for any  additional  special  provisions  or  conditions  that may be
different from those described in this  Prospectus (for example,  some or all of
the services and privileges  described may not be available to you).  Securities
brokers  and  other  financial   organizations   have  the   responsibility   of
transmitting  purchase  orders  and funds,  and of  crediting  their  customers'
accounts  following  redemptions,  in a timely manner in  accordance  with their
customer agreements and this Prospectus.

                                       15
<PAGE>

Purchasing Shares by Automatic Investment Plan
- ----------------------------------------------
You may  purchase  shares of each Fund  through  an  Automatic  Investment  Plan
("Plan").  The Plan  provides a  convenient  way for you to have money  deducted
directly from your checking, savings, or other accounts for investment in shares
of the Fund.  You can take  advantage  of the Plan by filling out the  Automatic
Investment Plan Application  included with this Prospectus.  You may only select
this  option  if  you  have  an  account  maintained  at  a  domestic  financial
institution   which  is  an  Automatic   Clearing  House  member  for  automatic
withdrawals under the Plan. The Funds may alter,  modify, amend or terminate the
Plan at any time, and will notify you at least 30 days in advance if they do so.
For more information, call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-___-____.

Purchasing Shares by Telephone
- ------------------------------
In order to be able to purchase  shares by telephone,  your account  authorizing
such  purchases  must have been  established  prior to your call.  Your  initial
purchase of shares may not be made by telephone.  Shares  purchased by telephone
will be  purchased  at your  Fund's  per  share NAV  determined  at the close of
business  on the day  that the  Transfer  Agent  receives  payment  through  the
Automated  Clearing  House,  which  could be as many as two days after you place
your order for shares. Call the Transfer Agent for details.

You may make  purchases by telephone  only if you have an account at a bank that
is a member of the Automated Clearing House. Most transfers are completed within
three  business  days of your call.  To  preserve  flexibility,  the Company may
revise or eliminate the ability to purchase Fund shares by phone,  or may charge
a fee for such service, although the Company does not currently expect to charge
such a fee.

The Fund's  Transfer Agent employs certain  procedures  designed to confirm that
instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures may include,
but are not limited to, requiring some form of personal  identification prior to
acting upon telephonic instructions, providing written confirmations of all such
transactions,  and/or  tape  recording  all  telephonic  instructions.  Assuming
procedures such as the above have been followed,  neither the Transfer Agent nor
the Fund will be liable for any loss, cost, or expense for acting upon telephone
instructions that are believed to be genuine.  The Company shall have authority,
as your agent,  to redeem  shares in your  account to cover any such loss.  As a
result of this  policy,  you will bear the risk of any loss  unless the Fund has
failed to follow procedures  reasonably designed to prevent losses.  However, if
the Fund fails to follow such procedures, it may be liable for such losses.

Miscellaneous Purchase Information
- ----------------------------------
The Funds reserve the right to refuse to accept applications under circumstances
or in amounts considered disadvantageous to shareholders.  Applications will not
be accepted unless they are  accompanied by payment in U.S. funds.  Payment must
be made by  check  or  money  order  drawn  on a U.S.  bank,  savings  and  loan
association  or credit  union.  The Fund's  custodian  will charge a $______ fee
against your account,  in addition to any loss  sustained by the Funds,  for any
payment check returned to the custodian for insufficient  funds. If you place an
order for Fund shares through a securities  broker,  and you place your order in
proper form before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on any business day in accordance with
their procedures,  your purchase will be processed at your Fund's NAV calculated
at 4:00 p.m. on that day, provided the securities broker transmits your order to
the Transfer Agent before 5:00 p.m.  Eastern time.  The  securities  broker must
send to the Transfer

                                       16

Agent  immediately  available  funds in the amount of the purchase  price within
three business days for the order.

HOW TO SELL (REDEEM) YOUR SHARES

You may sell your  shares at any time.  You may  request the sale of your shares
either by mail, by telephone or by wire.

By Mail
- -------
Sale requests should be mailed via U.S. mail or overnight courier service to:

                  Declaration Service Company
                  555 North Lane, Suite 6160
                  Conshohocken, PA  19460

Shares of each Fund are sold at net asset value without an initial sales charge.
This means that 100% of your  initial  investment  is placed  into shares of the
Fund(s) of your choice. However, in order to recover commissions paid to dealers
on investments in Fund Shares,  you will be charged a contingent  deferred sales
charge  ("CDSC")  of 1.00% of the value of your  redemption  if you redeem  your
shares within thirteen months from the date of purchase. You will not be charged
a CDSC on reinvested  dividends or capital  gains,  amounts  purchased more than
thirteen  months  prior to the  redemption,  and  increases in the value of your
shares.

Payment of redemption proceeds will be made no later than the third business day
after the valuation date unless otherwise expressly agreed by the parties at the
time of the  transaction.  If you purchase  your shares by check and then redeem
your shares  before your check has  cleared,  the Fund may hold your  redemption
proceeds until your check clears,  or for 15 days,  whichever  comes first.  The
redemption  price you receive will be your Fund's per share NAV next  calculated
after receipt of all required documents in "Good Order",  less any CDSC charges,
if applicable.

"Good order" means that your redemption request must include:

1.   Your account number.
2.   The  number of  shares to be sold  (redeemed)  or the  dollar  value of the
     amount to be redeemed.
3.   The  signatures of all account owners exactly as they are registered on the
     account.
4.   Any required signature guarantees.
5.   Any supporting legal documentation that is required in the case of estates,
     trusts, corporations or partnerships and certain other types of accounts.

Signature Guarantees --
- -----------------------
A  signature  guarantee  of each  owner is  required  to  redeem  shares  in the
following situations, for all size transactions:

o    if you change the ownership on your account;
o    when you want the redemption  proceeds sent to a different  address than is
     registered on the account;

                                       17
<PAGE>

o    if the proceeds are to be made payable to someone  other than the account's
     owner(s);
o    any redemption transmitted by federal wire transfer to your bank; and
o    if a  change  of  address  request  has  been  received  by the Fund or the
     Transfer Agent within 15 days previous to the request for redemption.

In addition, signature guarantees are required for all redemptions of $25,000 or
more from any Fund shareholder account. A redemption will not be processed until
the signature guarantee, if required, is received by the Transfer Agent.

Signature  guarantees are designed to protect both you and the Funds from fraud.
To obtain a signature guarantee,  you should visit a bank, trust company, member
of a  national  securities  exchange,  other  broker-dealer,  or other  eligible
guarantor  institution.  (Notaries public cannot provide signature  guarantees.)
Guarantees must be signed by an authorized  person at one of these  institutions
and be accompanied by the words, "Signature Guarantee."

By Telephone
- ------------
You may  redeem  your  shares  in your Fund by  calling  the  Transfer  Agent at
1-800-___-____  if you  elected  to use  telephone  redemption  on your  account
application when you initially  purchased  shares.  Redemption  proceeds must be
transmitted  directly  to you or to your  pre-designated  account  at a domestic
bank.  You may not redeem by telephone  if a change of address  request has been
received by the Fund or the  Transfer  Agent within 15 days prior to the request
for  redemption.  During  periods of  substantial  economic  or market  changes,
telephone  redemptions  may be  difficult  to  implement.  If you are  unable to
contact the Transfer  Agent by  telephone,  shares may be redeemed by delivering
your  redemption  request in person or by mail.  In addition,  interruptions  in
telephone  service  may mean that you will be unable to effect a  redemption  by
telephone exactly when desired.

By Wire
- -------
You may request that your  redemption  proceeds be wired to your designated bank
if it is a  member  bank or a  correspondent  of a  member  bank of the  Federal
Reserve System. The Fund's Custodian charges a $___ fee for outgoing wires.

Redemption At The Option Of The Fund
- ------------------------------------
If the value of the shares in your account  falls to less than $2000,  the Funds
may notify you that, unless your account is increased to $2000 in value, it will
redeem  all your  shares  and close the  account  by paying  you the  redemption
proceeds and any dividends and distributions  declared and unpaid at the date of
redemption.  You will have thirty  days after  notice to bring the account up to
$2000 before any action is taken.  This right of  redemption  shall not apply if
the value of your account drops below $2000 as the result of market action.  The
Funds  reserve  this right  because of the  expense to the Funds of  maintaining
relatively  small  accounts.  If your Fund  exercises  its right to redeem  your
shares, you will not incur any CDSC charges on such redemptions.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends  paid by each Fund are derived  from its net  investment  income.  Net
investment  income  will be  distributed  at least  annually.  Each  Fund's  net
investment income is made up of dividends

                                       18
<PAGE>

received from the stocks it holds,  as well as interest  accrued and paid on any
other obligations that might be held in its portfolio.

Each Fund realizes  capital gains when it sells a security for more than it paid
for it.  Each 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  distributions  paid in cash,  your  distributions
will be reinvested in additional  shares of your Fund. You may change the manner
in which your dividends are paid at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated  investment company under Subchapter
M of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended,  so as to be relieved of
federal  income tax on its capital  gains and net  investment  income  currently
distributed to its shareholders.

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 shares in
your Fund have been held. Distributions are taxable, whether received in cash or
reinvested in shares of your Fund.

You will be advised annually of the source of  distributions  for federal income
tax purposes.

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 Funds.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Funds 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.

In reports or other communications to investors, or in advertising material, the
Funds may describe  general economic and market  conditions  affecting the Funds
and may  compare  their  performance  with other  mutual  funds as listed in the
rankings  prepared by Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc. or similar  nationally
recognized  rating services and financial  publications that monitor mutual fund
performance. The Funds may also, from time to time, compare their performance to
one or more appropriate indices.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

Cummer/Moyers  Funds, Inc. (the "Company"),  an open-end  management  investment
company,  was  incorporated  in Maryland on October 20, 1999. The Affairs of the
Company are  managed by a Board of  Directors  which  approves  all  significant
agreements  between  the Company and the  persons  and  companies  that  furnish
services  to the  Company,  including  agreements  with  the  Funds'  custodian,
transfer agent,  investment adviser and  administrator.  All such agreements are
subject to limitations  imposed by state and/or federal  securities laws, and to
the extent that any such contract may  contradict  such  statutes,  the contract
would be unenforceable.  The day-to-day operations of the Funds are delegated to
the Adviser.

The Company's  Articles of Incorporation  permit the Board of Directors to issue
100,000,000  shares of common  stock.  The Board of  Directors  has the power to
designate  one or more  classes of shares of common  stock  (each a "series"  or
"Fund") and to classify or reclassify  any unissued  shares with respect to such
series. Currently, the Company offers the following Funds:

Cummer/Moyers High Yield Corporate Fund
Cummer/Moyers Diversified Income Fund
Cummer/Moyers Total Return Income Fund
Cummer/Moyers Aggressive Growth Fund

Shareholders of each Fund 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
shareholders  have no preemptive  rights and may not cumulate their votes in the
election of directors. The shares are redeemable and are fully transferable. All
shares issued and sold by the Funds will be fully paid and nonassessable.

According to the law of Maryland  under which the Company is  incorporated,  and
the Company's  Bylaws,  the Company is not required to hold an annual meeting of
shareholders  unless required to do so under the Investment  Company Act of 1940
(the "Act"). Accordingly,  the Company will not hold annual shareholder meetings
unless  required  to do so under the Act.  Shareholders  have the  right,  among
others,  to call a meeting of  shareholders  for the purpose of voting to remove
directors.  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 Fund will render  assistance to  shareholders  in connection
with their  efforts to arrange a shareholder  meeting as required  under Section
16(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                               INVESTMENT POLICIES

Each Fund's investment  objectives and the manner in which each Fund pursues its
investment  objectives are discussed in the  prospectus.  This section  provides
additional  information  concerning the Funds'  investments and their investment
restrictions.

The Aggressive Growth Fund is a non-diversified  Fund, meaning that the Fund can
concentrate  its  investments  in a  smaller  number  of  companies  than a more
diversified fund.

The High Yield Corporate Fund,  Diversified  Income Fund and Total Return Income
Fund each intend to qualify as  "diversified  funds"  under  federal  securities
laws.  This means that as to 75% of each Fund's total net assets  (valued at the
time of  investment)  not more than 5% of a Fund's total assets will be invested
in  securities  of any one issuer and not more than 10% of a Fund's total assets
will be invested in the outstanding voting securities of any class of securities
of any one issuer (except that securities of the U.S.  Government,  its agencies
and instrumentalities are not subject to this limitation).

In addition to the primary  investments  that are described for each Fund in the
Prospectus,  each Fund may also invest in a variety of other  securities.  These
additional  types of  securities  in which the Funds may  ordinarily  invest are
listed  below,  along with any  restrictions  on such  investments,  and,  where
necessary, a brief discussion of any risks unique to the particular security.

FOREIGN SECURITIES.  The Funds may invest in the common stock of foreign issuers
traded on U.S. exchanges. The Funds may also invest in foreign securities in the
form of American  Depository Receipts (ADRs). The Funds 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.

Investments in foreign companies involve certain risks not typically  associated
with investing in domestic  companies.  An investment may be affected by changes
in  currency  rates  and in  exchange  control  regulations.  There  may be less
publicly  available  information  about a domestic company than about a domestic
company,   because   foreign   companies  are  not  subject  to  the  regulatory
requirements of U.S.  companies.  Foreign companies generally are not subject to
uniform accounting,  auditing and financial reporting  standards.  Dividends and
interest on foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Such
taxes may reduce the net return to Fund  shareholders.  Foreign  securities  are
often  denominated in a currency other than the U.S.  dollar.  Accordingly,  the
Fund will be subject  to the risks  associated  with  fluctuations  in  currency
values. Although the Fund will only invest in foreign issuers that are domiciled
in nations  considered  to have stable and  friendly  governments,  there is the
possibility  of  expropriation,  confiscation,  taxation,  currency  blockage or
political or social instability which could negatively affect the Fund.

MONEY MARKET  MUTUAL FUNDS.  The Funds may invest in securities  issued by other
registered  investment  companies.   As  a  shareholder  of  another  registered
investment  company,  the Fund would bear its pro rata portion of that company's
advisory  fees  and  other  expenses.  Such  fees  and  expenses  will be  borne
indirectly by the Fund's shareholders.

                                       2
<PAGE>

OPTIONS ON EQUITIES.  The Fund may occasionally  invest in options  contracts to
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 an options contract is priced more attractively than the underlying
security or index.

The Funds may write (i.e. sell) puts and covered call options,  and may purchase
put and call options, on equity securities traded on a United States exchange or
over-the-counter  market.  The Funds may also  enter into such  transactions  on
Indexes. Options contracts can include long-term options with durations of up to
three years.

Each  Fund  may  enter  into  these  transactions  so long as the  value  of the
underlying  securities on which options 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.  When  writing  covered call options or selling
puts, to minimize the risks of entering into these transactions,  each Fund will
maintain a segregated  account with its Custodian  consisting of the  underlying
securities  upon which the option was  written,  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.  Over-the counter options
and the assets used to cover such options are considered to be illiquid.

Risk  Factors.  The primary  risks  associated  with the use of options 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. Investing only in those contracts whose price fluctuations
are expected to resemble those of the Fund's underlying securities will minimize
the risk of imperfect correlation.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The  Funds  may  invest a  portion  of their  assets in
repurchase  agreements ("Repos") with broker-dealers,  banks and other financial
institutions,  provided that the Fund's custodian at all times has possession of
the  securities  serving as collateral  for the Repos or has proper  evidence of
book entry receipt of said 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  values of which equal or exceed  102% of the  principal
amount of the money invested by the Fund. If an  institution  with whom 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.

     Repurchase  Agreement Risk- A repurchase  agreement exposes the Fund to the
     risk  that  the  party  that  sells  the  securities  will  default  on its
     obligation to  repurchase  those  securities.  If that happens the Fund can
     lose money  because:  (i) it may not be able to sell the  securities at the
     agreed-upon  time and price;  and (ii) the securities may lose value before
     they can be sold.

                                       3
<PAGE>

CASH  RESERVES.  Each Fund may hold a  significant  portion of its net assets in
cash, either to maintain liquidity or for temporary defensive purposes.

RESTRICTED  AND ILLIQUID  SECURITIES.  Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net
assets in  securities  that the  Adviser  determines  to be  illiquid.  Illiquid
securities  are  securities  that  may  be  difficult  to  sell  promptly  at an
acceptable price because of a lack of an available market and other factors. The
sale of some  illiquid  and other  types of  securities  may be subject to legal
restrictions.  Because illiquid and restricted  securities may present a greater
risk of loss than other types of  securities,  the Funds will not invest in such
securities in excess of the limits set forth above.

The Funds may also  invest in  securities  acquired  in a  privately  negotiated
transaction from the issuer or a holder of the issuer's securities and which may
not be distributed  publicly  without  registration  under the Securities Act of
1933.

Restricted and illiquid securities are valued in such manner as the Fund's Board
of Directors ("Board" or "Directors") in good faith deems appropriate to reflect
the fair market value of such securities.

SPECIAL  SITUATIONS.  The Funds may  invest in special  situations  from time to
time. A special  situation arises when, in the opinion of Fund  management,  the
securities  of a company will,  within a reasonably  estimated  time period,  be
accorded  market  recognition  at an  appreciated  value  solely  by reason of a
development  particularly or uniquely  applicable to that company and regardless
of general  business  conditions  or  movements  of the market as a whole.  Such
developments  and  situations  include,  but are not limited  to:  liquidations,
reorganizations,    recapitalizations    or   mergers,    material   litigation,
technological breakthroughs, and new management or management policies. Although
large and well-known companies may be involved, special situations often involve
much greater risk than is found in the normal course of  investing.  To minimize
these risks, the Funds will not invest in special  situations  unless the target
company  has  at  least  three  years  of   continuous   operations   (including
predecessors),  or unless the aggregate value of such investments is not greater
than 25% of the Fund's total net assets (valued at the time of investment).

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The Funds may purchase
securities on a when-issued  basis, and they may purchase or sell securities for
delayed-delivery. These transactions occur when securities are purchased or sold
by a Fund with payment and delivery  taking place at some future date. The Funds
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 Funds  have not  established  any limit on the  percentage  of
assets  they may  commit  to such  transactions,  but to  minimize  the risks of
entering into these  transactions,  each Fund will maintain a segregated account
with  its  custodian  consisting  of  cash,  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.

                                       4
<PAGE>

MASTER-FEEDER OPTION.  Notwithstanding its other investment policies,  each Fund
may seek to achieve its investment  objective by investing all of its investable
net assets in another  investment  company having the same investment  objective
and substantially the same investment  policies and restrictions as those of the
Fund.  Although  such an  investment  may be made in the sole  discretion of the
Directors,  each Fund's  shareholders  will be given 30 days prior notice of any
such investment. There is no current intent to make such an investment.

PORTFOLIO  TURNOVER.  The Funds have no operating  history and therefore have no
annual reportable portfolio turnover. The Funds will generally purchase and sell
securities  without  regard to the  length of time the  security  has been held.
Accordingly,  it can be  expected  that the rate of  portfolio  turnover  may be
substantial. The Funds expect that their annual portfolio turnover rate will not
exceed 100% under normal conditions. However, there can be no assurance that the
Funds 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 a 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.

Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing (1) the lesser of purchases or
sales of  portfolio  securities  for the for the fiscal  year by (2) the monthly
average of the value of  portfolio  securities  owned  during the fiscal year. A
100%  turnover rate would occur if all the  securities in the Fund's  portfolio,
with the exception of  securities  whose  maturities at the time of  acquisition
were one year or less,  were sold and either  repurchased or replaced within one
year.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The restrictions  listed below are fundamental  policies of each Fund and may be
changed  only  with  the  approval  of a  "majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities"  of the affected  Fund as defined in the  Investment  Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"). As provided in the 1940 Act, a vote of a "majority of the
outstanding  voting securities" of a Fund means the affirmative vote of (1) more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, or (2) 67% or more of the shares
of the Fund present at a meeting, if more than 50% of the shares are represented
at the meeting in person or by proxy. Except with respect to borrowing,  changes
in values of each  Fund's  assets as a whole will not cause a  violation  of the
following  investment  restrictions  so  long  as  percentage  restrictions  are
observed by the Fund at the time it purchases any security.

Each Fund will not:

1.   Acquire  securities  of any  one  issuer  that at the  time  of  investment
     represent more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

2.   Borrow  money,  except from banks for  temporary or  emergency  purposes in
     amounts not  exceeding  20% of the value of a Fund's  assets at the time of
     borrowing.

                                       5
<PAGE>

3.   Underwrite the distribution of securities of other issuers.

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

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

6.   Issue senior securities.

7.   Invest in commodities,  or invest in futures contracts or options contracts
     on commodities.

8.   The High Yield  Corporate  Fund,  Diversified  Income Fund and Total Return
     Income Fund will not, as to 75% of each Fund's total net assets, (valued at
     the time of  investment)  invest more than 5% of a Fund's  total  assets in
     securities of any one issuer and not more than 10% of a Fund's total assets
     will be  invested  in the  outstanding  voting  securities  of any class of
     securities  of  any  one  issuer  (except  that   securities  of  the  U.S.
     Government,  its  agencies  and  instrumentalities  are not subject to this
     limitation).

Each Fund has also adopted the following  non-fundamental  restrictions that may
be changed by the Board without shareholder approval:

Each Fund may not:

1.   Make margin purchases, except as permitted to invest in options contracts.
2.   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.
3.   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.
4.   Invest more than 15% of its net assets in  securities  that are not readily
     marketable.
5.   Acquire securities of other investment companies except as permitted by the
     Investment Company Act of 1940.
6.   Pledge,  mortgage  or  hypothecate  its  assets,  except for  temporary  or
     emergency  purposes and then to an extent not greater than 20% of its total
     assets.

                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

Information on the Fund's investment  adviser,  Cummer/Moyers  Capital Advisors,

                                       6
<PAGE>

The Adviser manages the investment portfolio and the general business affairs of
the Fund  pursuant  to an  investment  services  agreement  with the Fund  dated
__________1999.  Mr.  Jeffrey A. Cummer is  President  of the  Adviser,  and Mr.
Dwayne  Moyers  is Vice  President  of the  Adviser.  Both  gentlemen  are  also
Directors of the Company.  Messrs.  Cummer and Moyers act as Portfolio  managers

The Investment Advisory Agreement.
- ----------------------------------
The  Company  has  entered  into an  Investment  Advisory  Agreement  ("Advisory
Agreement")  with the Adviser.  Under the terms of the Advisory  Agreement,  the
Adviser  manages the investment  operations of each Fund in accordance with that
Fund's investment policies and restrictions. The Adviser furnishes an investment
program for each Fund, determines what investments should be purchased, sold and
held,  and makes  changes on behalf of the  Company in the  investments  of each
Fund. At all times the  Adviser's  actions on behalf of the Funds are subject to
the overall supervision and review of the Board.

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

The Advisory Agreement has a term of two years, but may be continued  thereafter
from year to year so long as its  continuance  is approved at least 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 Advisory  Agreement will terminate  automatically in the
event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).

The Company pays to the Adviser,  on the last day of each month,  an  annualized
fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, as follows:

The High-Yield Corporate Fund-      0.75% per annum
The Diversified Income  Fund-       0.50% per annum
The Total Return  Income Fund       0.75% per annum
The Aggressive Growth Fund          1.00% per annum

The Company has also  entered  into an  Operating  Services  Agreement  with the
Adviser ("Services Agreement").  Under the terms of the Services Agreement,  the
Adviser provides,  or arranges to provide,  day-to-day  operational  services to
each Fund including, but not limited to:

The Company pays to the Adviser,  on the last day of each month,  an  annualized
fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, as follows:

The High-Yield Corporate Fund-      0.50% per annum

Under the Services  Agreement,  the Adviser may, with the Company's  permission,
employ third parties to assist it in performing the various services required of
the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for compensating such parties.

The  effect of the  Advisory  Agreement  and the  Operating  Services  Agreement
together is to place a "cap" on each Fund's normal operating expenses.  The only
other expenses which may be incurred by a Fund are brokerage fees, taxes,  legal
fees relating to Fund litigation, and other extraordinary expenses.

                             DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Board Of Directors  ("Board" or "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.  The  Directors of the Company,  including  those  Directors who are also
officers, are listed below.

</TABLE>

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

Pursuant to its  obligations  to the Company under the Services  Agreement,  the
Adviser is responsible for paying compensation, if any, to each of the Company's
independent Directors during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

Control Persons and Shareholders Owning in Excess of 5% of Fund Shares
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Adviser intends to purchase all of the outstanding shares of each Fund prior
to the Fund's effective date, and will accordingly be deemed to then control the
Funds.

                             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

The Fund's  performance is a function of conditions in the  securities  markets,
portfolio management, 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.

                                       9
<PAGE>

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

Purchases and  redemptions  of the Fund's shares will be made at net asset value
("NAV"),  less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (See Prospectus).
Each  Fund's  NAV is  determined  on days on which the New York  Stock  Exchange
("NYSE") is open for trading.  For purposes of computing the NAV of a share of a
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 Adviser,  subject to the review and supervision of the Board.  The price per
share for a purchase  order or  redemption  request  is the NAV next  determined
after receipt of the order.

The Funds are open for  business on each day that the NYSE is open.  Each Fund's
share price or NAV is normally  determined as of 4:00 p.m.,  Eastern time.  Each
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 Funds  generally  do not charge  sales or  redemption  fees,  the NAV is the
offering price for shares of each Fund.

                                 TAX INFORMATION

The Funds  intend to qualify as a regulated  investment  company  ("RIC")  under
Subchapter  M of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended,  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 RIC, the Funds must,
among other  things,  derive at least 90% of their 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  each  Fund  qualifies  as a RIC  and  distributes  at  least  90% of its net
investment  income,  that Fund will not be subject to Federal  income tax on the
income so distributed.  However,  that Fund would be subject to corporate income
tax on any  undistributed  income other than  tax-exempt  income from  municipal
securities.

The Funds intend to distribute to shareholders, at least annually, substantially
all net  investment  income and any net capital gains realized from sales of the
Funds' portfolio securities. Dividends

                                       10
<PAGE>

from net investment income and distributions from any net realized capital gains
are  reinvested in  additional  shares of the Funds unless the  shareholder  has
requested in writing to have them paid by check.

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 Funds 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 a Fund will result in a reduction  in the fair market value of
that 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 a 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.

Dividends.  A portion of a Fund's income may qualify for the  dividends-received
deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that a Fund's income
is derived  from  qualifying  dividends.  Because a 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 a 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 a 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 Funds will send each shareholder a notice in
January  describing  the tax status of dividends and capital gain  distributions
for the prior year.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Decisions to buy and sell  securities for the Funds are made by the Adviser.  In
placing  purchase and sale orders for portfolio  securities for the Funds, it is
the policy of the Adviser to seek the best

                                       11
<PAGE>

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  evaluation  of the
broker's  efficiency  in  executing  and  clearing  transactions,  the  rate  of
commission or the size of the broker-dealer's  "spread", the size and difficulty
of  the  order,  the  nature  of  the  market  for  the  security,   operational
capabilities of the broker-dealer, and the research and other services provided.
The  Fund may pay more  than the  lowest  available  commission  in  return  for
brokerage  and  research  services.  Research  and other  services  may  include
information  as  to  the  availability  of  securities  for  purchase  or  sale,
statistical  or factual  information  or opinions  pertaining to securities  and
reports and analysis concerning issuers and their creditworthiness.  The Adviser
may use research and other  services to service all of its clients,  rather than
the particular clients whose commissions may pay for research or other services.
In other words,  the Fund's  brokerage may be used to pay for a research service
that is used in managing another client of the Adviser.

The Adviser may purchase or sell portfolio  securities on behalf of the Funds in
agency or principal  transactions.  In agency transactions,  the Funds generally
pay brokerage commissions. In principal transactions, the Funds generally do not
pay  commissions.  However,  the price  paid for the  security  may  include  an
undisclosed commission or "mark-up" or selling concessions. The Adviser normally
purchases  fixed-income  securities  on a net basis from primary  market  makers
acting as principals for the securities.  The Adviser may purchase certain money
market  instruments  directly  from an  issuer  without  paying  commissions  or
discounts. 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 who are paid commissions
directly.

The Adviser may combine  transaction  orders  placed on behalf of the Funds with
orders  placed on behalf of any other  fund or  private  account  managed by the
Adviser for the purpose of negotiating brokerage commissions or obtaining a more
favorable  transaction  price.  In these  cases,  transaction  costs are  shared
proportionately  by the fund or account,  as  applicable,  which are part of the
block.  If an  aggregated  trade is not  completely  filled,  then  the  Adviser
typically allocates the trade among the funds or accounts,  as applicable,  on a
pro  rata  basis  based  upon  account  size.  Exemptions  are  permitted  on  a
case-by-case  basis when judged by the Adviser to be fair and  reasonable to the
funds or accounts involved.

Trading by the Portfolio Manager
- --------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 17(j) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17j-1 thereunder,  the Funds,
the  Adviser,  and the  Distributor  have  adopted  Codes of Ethics  restricting
personal securities trading by the Funds' Portfolio Manager.  These Codes are on
public file,  and are available  from the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.
While the  Codes  permit  personal  transactions  by the  Portfolio  Manager  in
securities  held or to be  acquired  by the  Fund,  the Codes  prohibit  and are
designed  to  prevent  fraudulent  activity  in  connection  with such  personal
transactions.

Item 25.  Indemnification
          ---------------

          (a)  General.  The Articles of  Incorporation  (the "Articles") of the
               Corporation  provide  that to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by
               Maryland and federal  statutory and decisional law, as amended or
               interpreted,  no director or officer of this Corporation shall be
               personally liable to the Corporation or the holders of shares for
               money damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and each
               director and officer  shall be  indemnified  by the  Corporation;
               provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect
               any director or officer of the Corporation  against any liability
               to the  Corporation  or the  holders  of  shares  to  which  such
               director  or  officer  would  otherwise  be  subject by reason of
               breach of the  director's  or  officer's  duty of  loyalty to the
               Corporation  or its  stockholders,  for acts or omissions  not in
               good faith or which involved intentional  misconduct or a knowing
               violation of law or for any  transaction  from which the director
               derived any improper personal benefit.

               The  By-Laws of the  Corporation,  Article VI,  provide  that the
               Corporation  shall  indemnify to the fullest  extent  required or
               permitted  under  Maryland law or The  Investment  Company Act of

<PAGE>

               1940, as either may be amended from time to time,  any individual
               who is a  director  or  officer of the  Corporation  and who,  by
               reason of his or her position was, is or is threatened to be made
               a party to any threatened,  pending or completed action,  suit or
               proceeding,   whether   civil,   criminal,    administrative   or
               investigative   (hereinafter   collectively   referred  to  as  a
               "Proceeding") against judgments,  penalties,  fines,  settlements
               and  reasonable  expenses  actually  incurred by such director or
               officer in connection with such Proceeding, to the fullest extent
               that such indemnification may be lawful under Maryland law or the
               Investment Company Act of 1940.

          (b)  Disabling  Conduct.  No  director or officer  shall be  protected
               against any liability to the  Corporation or its  shareholders if
               such  director or officer  would be subject to such  liability by
               reason of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence or
               reckless  disregard of the duties  involved in the conduct of his
               or her office (such conduct hereinafter referred to as "Disabling
               Conduct").

               Article  2-418  of  the  General  Corporation  Laws  of  Maryland
               provides that no  indemnification of a director or officer may be
               made  unless:  (1) there is a final  decision  on the merits by a
               court or other body before whom the  Proceeding  was brought that
               the  director  or  officer  to be  indemnified  was not liable by
               reason of  Disabling  Conduct;  or (2) in the  absence  of such a
               decision,  there  is a  reasonable  determination,  based  upon a
               review  of  the  facts,  that  the  director  or  officer  to  be
               indemnified was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct,  which
               determination  shall be made by: (i) the vote of a majority  of a
               quorum of directors who are neither  "interested  persons" of the
               Corporation  as  defined in Section  2(a)(19)  of the  Investment
               Company Act of 1940,  nor parties to the  Proceeding;  or (ii) an
               independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

          (c)  Standard  of  Conduct.  The  Corporation  may not  indemnify  any
               director  if it is proved  that:  (1) the act or  omission of the
               director was material to the cause of action  adjudicated  in the
               Proceeding  and (i) was  committed  in bad  faith or (ii) was the
               result of active and deliberate  dishonesty;  or (2) the director
               actually  received an improper  personal  benefit;  or (3) in the
               case of a criminal proceeding,  the director had reasonable cause
               to  believe   that  the  act  or  omission   was   unlawful.   No
               indemnification  may be made under Maryland law unless authorized
               for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made, in
               accordance with Maryland law, that indemnification is permissible
               in the  circumstances  because the requisite  standard of conduct
               has been met.

          (d)  Required   Indemnification.   A  director   or  officer   who  is
               successful,  on the merits or  otherwise,  in the  defense of any
               Proceeding  shall  be  indemnified  against  reasonable  expenses
               incurred  by the  director  or  officer  in  connection  with the
               Proceeding.   In  addition,   under  Maryland  law,  a  court  of
               appropriate  jurisdiction may order indemnification under certain
               circumstances.

          (e)  Advance Payment.  The Corporation may pay any reasonable expenses
               so incurred by any  director or officer in defending a Proceeding
               in advance of the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent
               permissible  under Maryland law. Such advance payment of expenses
               shall be made  only  upon the  undertaking  by such  director  or
               officer to repay the advance  unless it is ultimately  determined
               that such director or officer is entitled to indemnification, and
               only if one of the following  conditions is met: (1) the director
               or  officer  to  be  indemnified  provides  a

<PAGE>

               security  for his  undertaking;  (2)  the  Corporation  shall  be
               insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful  advances;
               or (3) there is a  determination,  based on a review  of  readily
               available  facts,  that  there  is  reason  to  believe  that the
               director or officer to be indemnified ultimately will be entitled
               to  indemnification,  which determination shall be made by: (i) a
               majority of a quorum of  directors  who are  neither  "interested
               persons" of the  Corporation,  as defined in Section  2(a)(19) of
               the   Investment   Company  Act  of  1940,  nor  parties  to  the
               Proceeding;  or (ii) an  independent  legal  counsel in a written
               opinion.

          (f)  Insurance.  To the fullest  extent  permitted by Maryland law and
               Section  17(h)  of  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940,  the
               Corporation may purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of any
               officer or director  of the  Corporation,  against any  liability
               asserted  against  him or her and  incurred  by him or her in and
               arising  out  of  his  or  her  position,   whether  or  not  the
               Corporation  would have the power to indemnify him or her against
               such liability.

     (j)  In  general,  to carry on any other  business  in  connection  with or
          incidental to its  corporate  purposes,  to do  everything  necessary,
          suitable or proper for the  accomplishment of such purposes or for the

Incorporation,  and shall each be regarded as  independent  and  construed  as a
power as well as an  object  and a  purpose,  and the  enumeration  of  specific
purposes,  objects and powers shall not be construed to limit or restrict in any

provided  however,  that the Corporation shall not have power to carry on within

which the  Corporation  shall have  authority  to issue is one  hundred  million
(100,000,000)  Shares, of the par value of one one-hundreth of one cent ($.0001)
("Shares"),  and of the aggregate par value of ten thousand  dollars  ($10,000).
The  Board of  Directors  shall  have  full  power  and  authority,  in its sole
discretion  and  without  obtaining  any  prior  authorization  or  vote  of the
Stockholders,  to change in any manner and to create and establish Shares having
such  preferences,  terms of conversion,  rights,  voting powers,  restrictions,
limitations  as to  dividends,  qualifications,  and  terms  and  conditions  of
redemption as shall be fixed and  determined  from time to time by resolution or
resolutions  providing  for the issuance of such Shares  adopted by the Board of
Directors.

The Shares may be issued by the Board of Directors in such separate and distinct
series  ("Series") and Classes  ("Classes") as the Board of Directors shall from
time to time create and establish.  The Board of Directors is  authorized,  from
time to time,  to divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser  number,
to classify or reclassify  any unissued  Shares of the  Corporation  into one or
more  separate  Series or Classes of Shares,  and to take such other action with
respect to the Shares as the Board of Directors may deem desirable. In addition,
the Board of  Directors  is hereby  expressly  granted  authority to increase or
decrease  the number of Shares of any Series or Class,  but the number of Shares
of any Series or Class shall not be decreased  by the Board of  Directors  below
the number of Shares thereof then  outstanding.  The Board of Directors,  in its
discretion  without a vote of the  Stockholders,  may  divide  the Shares of any
Series into Classes.  The Shares of any Series or Class of stock shall have such
preferences,  rights, voting powers, restrictions,  limitations as to dividends,
qualifications  and terms and  conditions  of  redemption  as shall be fixed and
determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

<PAGE>

The Corporation may hold as treasury Shares,  reissue for such consideration and
on such  terms as the  Board of  Directors  may  determine,  or  cancel,  at its
discretion  from time to time,  any Shares  reacquired  by the  Corporation.  No
holder of any of the Shares  shall be  entitled  as of right to  subscribe  for,
purchase,  or  otherwise  acquire  any  Shares  of  the  Corporation  which  the
Corporation proposes to issue or reissue.

Without  limiting the  authority  of the Board of Directors  set forth herein to
establish  and  designate  any further  Series or Classes,  and to classify  and
reclassify any unissued Shares,  there is hereby established and classified four
Series of stock comprising fifty million (50,000,000) Shares, to be known as:

Cummer/Moyers High-Yield Corporate Fund              (12,500,000 Shares)
Cummer/Moyers Diversified Income Fund                (12,500,000 Shares)
Cummer/Moyers Total Return Fund                      (12,500,000 Shares)
Cummer/Moyers Aggressive Growth Fund                 (12,500,000 Shares)

The corporation  shall have authority to issue any additional  Shares  hereafter
authorized and any Shares redeemed or repurchased by the Corporation. All Shares
of any Series or Class when properly issued in accordance with these Articles of
Incorporation shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 8.2.  Establishment  of Series and  Classes.  The  establishment  of any
Series or Class of Shares in addition to those established in Section 8.1 hereof
shall be effective  upon the adoption of a resolution  by the Board of Directors
setting forth such  establishment  and  designation  and the relative rights and
preferences of the Shares of such Series or Class. At any time that there are no
Shares outstanding of any particular Series or Class previously  established and
designated,  the  Directors  may by a majority vote abolish that Series or Class
and the establishment and designation thereof.

Section 8.3.  Dividends.  Dividends and  distributions on Shares with respect to
each Series or Class may be declared and paid with such frequency,  in such form
and in such amount as the Board of  Directors  may from time to time  determine.
Dividends may be declared daily or otherwise  pursuant to a standing  resolution
or  resolutions  adopted  only  once or with  such  frequency  as the  Board  of
Directors may determine.

All  dividends  on Shares of each  Series or Class shall be paid only out of the
income  belonging  to that Series or Class and capital  gains  distributions  on
Shares of each  Series  or Class  shall be paid  only out of the  capital  gains
belonging to that Series or Class. All dividends and  distributions on Shares of
each Series or Class shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of that Series
or Class in  proportion  to the number of Shares of that Series or Class held by
such holders at the date and time of record  established for the payment of such
dividends or distributions,  except that such dividends and distributions  shall
appropriately  reflect  expenses  allocated to a particular  Series or Class. In
connection with any dividend or  distribution  program or procedure the Board of
Directors may  determine  that no dividend or  distribution  shall be payable on
Shares as to which the Shareholder's purchase order and/or payment have not been
received by the time or times  established by the Board of Directors  under such
program or procedure.

<PAGE>

The  Board of  Directors  shall  have the  power,  in its  sole  discretion,  to
distribute in any fiscal year as dividends  (including  dividends  designated in
whole or in part as  capital  gain  distributions)  amounts  sufficient,  in the
opinion of the Board of Directors,  to enable each Series of the  Corporation to
qualify as a regulated  investment  company  under the Internal  Revenue Code of
1986,  as  amended,  or  any  successor  or  comparable  statute  thereto,   and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and to avoid liability of each Series of the
Corporation for Federal income and excise tax in respect of that year.  However,
nothing in the foregoing  shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to
make distributions  greater than or less than the amount necessary to qualify as
a  regulated  investment  company  and to avoid  liability  of any Series of the
Corporation for such tax.

Dividends  and  distributions  may be paid in cash,  property  or  Shares,  or a
combination  thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors or pursuant to any
program  that the Board of  Directors  may have in effect at the time.  Any such
dividend  or  distribution  paid in Shares will be paid at the current net asset
value thereof as defined in Section 8.7.

Section 8.4.  Assets and  Liabilities of Series and Classes.  All  consideration
received  by the  Corporation  for the issue or sale of  Shares of a  particular
Series  or  Class,  together  with all  assets in which  such  consideration  is
invested or reinvested,  all income,  earnings,  profits,  and proceeds thereof,
including any proceeds  derived from the sale,  exchange or  liquidation of such
assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds
in whatever form the same may be, shall be referred to as "assets  belonging to"
that  Series or Class,  as the case may be. In  addition,  any  assets,  income,
earnings,  profits,  and  proceeds  thereof,  funds,  or payments  which are not
readily  identifiable  as belonging to any  particular  Series or Class shall be
allocated  between and among one or more of the Series or Classes in such manner
as the Board of Directors,  in its sole  discretion,  deems fair and  equitable.
Each such  allocation  shall be conclusive and binding upon the  Stockholders of
all Series or  Classes  for all  purposes,  and shall be  referred  to as assets
belonging to that Series or Class. The assets  belonging to a particular  Series
or Class  shall be so  recorded  upon the books of the  Corporation.  The assets
belonging  to each  particular  Series  or  Class  shall  be  charged  with  the
liabilities  of that  Series  or Class  and all  expenses,  costs,  charges  and
reserves  attributable  to that Series or Class, as the case may be. Any general
liabilities,  expenses,  costs, charges or reserves of the Corporation which are
not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series or Class shall be
allocated  between  or among any one or more of the  Series or Classes in such a
manner  as the  Board  of  Directors  in its  sole  discretion  deems  fair  and
equitable.  Each  such  allocation  shall be  conclusive  and  binding  upon the
Stockholders of all Series or Classes for all purposes.

Section 8.5.  Voting.  On each matter  submitted to a vote of the  Stockholders,
each  holder  of a Share  shall be  entitled  to one vote  for  each  Share  and
fractional votes for fractional  Shares standing in his name on the books of the
Corporation;  provided,  however,  that when  required  by the 1940 Act or rules
thereunder or when the Board of Directors has determined that the matter affects
only the interests of one Series or Class, matters may be submitted to a vote of
the Stockholders of such Series or Class only, and each holder of Shares thereof
shall be entitled to votes equal to the number of full and fractional  Shares of
the Series or Class  standing in his name on the books of the  Corporation.  The
presence  in person or by proxy of the  holders  of  one-third  of the Shares of
capital stock of the Corporation  outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a Stockholders'  meeting,
except  that  where  holders  of any  Series or Class vote as a Series or Class,
one-third of the aggregate number of Shares of that Series or Class  outstanding
and entitled to vote shall  constitute a quorum for the  transaction of business
by that Series or Class.

<PAGE>

Section 8.6.  Redemption by  Stockholders.  Each holder of Shares shall have the
right at such  times as may be  permitted  by the  Corporation  to  require  the
Corporation  to redeem all or any part of his Shares at a  redemption  price per
Share  equal to the net  asset  value  per Share as of such time as the Board of
Directors shall have prescribed by resolution, minus any applicable sales charge
or  redemption  or  repurchase  fee.  In the  absence  of such  resolution,  the
redemption  price per Share  shall be the net asset  value next  determined  (in
accordance  with Section 8.7) after  acceptance  of a request for  redemption in
proper form less such charges as are  determined  by the Board of Directors  and
described in the Corporation's  registration  statement under the Securities Act
of 1933,  except that Shares may be  redeemed by an  underwriter  at (a) the net
asset value next  determined  after such  requests are received by a dealer with
whom  such  underwriter  has a  sales  agreement  or (b)  the  net  asset  value
determined  at a later time.  The Board of  Directors  may  specify  conditions,
prices, and places of redemption,  and may specify binding  requirements for the
proper form or forms of requests for  redemption.  The  Corporation  may require
Stockholders  to pay a sales charge to the  Corporation,  the underwriter or any
other person  designated by the Board of Directors upon redemption or repurchase
of Shares of any Series or Class,  in such  amount as shall be  determined  from
time to time by the Directors.  Payment of the redemption price may be wholly or
partly in securities  or other assets at the value of such  securities or assets
used  in  such   determination   of  net  asset  value,   or  may  be  in  cash.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Board of Directors may postpone  payment of
the  redemption  price and may  suspend  the right of the  holders  of Shares to
require the  Corporation  to redeem Shares during any period or at any time when
and to the extent permissible under the 1940 Act.

Section  8.7.  Net Asset  Value per Share.  The net asset value of each Share of
each Series or Class shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the value of the
total  assets of the Series or Class,  less  liabilities  and  expenses  of that
Series  or  Class,  by the  total  number  of  Shares  of the  Series  or  Class
outstanding.  The Board of Directors shall have the power and duty to determine,
in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the net income,
total  assets and  liabilities  of the  Corporation  and the net asset value per
Share of each Series and Class of Shares at such times and by such methods as it
shall determine  subject to any restrictions or requirements  under the 1940 Act
and the rules,  regulations and interpretations thereof promulgated or issued by
the Securities  and Exchange  Commission or insofar as permitted by any order of
the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the Corporation.  The Board
of  Directors  may  delegate  such  power  and  duty  to any  one or more of the
directors  and  officers of the  Corporation,  to the  Corporation's  investment
adviser,  to the  custodian or  depository of the  Corporation's  assets,  or to
another agent or contractor of the Corporation.

Section 8.8. Redemption by the Corporation. The Board of Directors may cause the
corporation to redeem at current net asset value all Shares owned or held by any
one  Stockholder  having an  aggregate  current net asset value of less than two
thousand  dollars  ($2,000).  No such  redemption  shall be effected  unless the
Corporation  has given the  Stockholder  at least sixty (60) days' notice of its
intention  to redeem the  Shares and an  opportunity  to  purchase a  sufficient
number of additional  Shares to bring the  aggregate  current net asset value of
his Shares to two thousand dollars ($2,000).  Upon redemption of Shares pursuant
to this  Section,  the  Corporation  shall  promptly  cause  payment of the full
redemption price, in any permissible form, to be made to the holder of Shares so
redeemed.  The Board of Directors may by a majority vote  establish from time to
time amounts less than two thousand  dollars  ($2,000) at which the  Corporation
will redeem Shares pursuant to this Section.

<PAGE>

NINTH:  Section 9.1. Issuance of New Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized
to issue and sell or cause to be issued and sold from time to time  (without the
necessity of offering the same or any part thereof to existing stockholders) all
or any portion or portions of the entire  authorized but unissued  Shares of the
Corporation, and all or any portion or portions of the Shares of the Corporation
from  time  to  time  in  its  treasury,  for  cash  or  for  any  other  lawful
consideration or considerations and on or for any terms,  conditions,  or prices
consistent  with the provisions of law and of the Articles of  Incorporation  at
the time in  force;  provided,  however,  that in no event  shall  Shares of the
Corporation  having  a par  value  be  issued  or sold  for a  consideration  or
considerations  less in  amount  or value  than the par  value of the  Shares so
issued or sold,  and  provided  further that in no event shall any Shares of the
Corporation  be  issued  or sold,  except  as a stock  dividend  distributed  to
stockholders,  for a consideration  (which shall be net to the Corporation after
underwriting  discounts  or  commissions)  less in amount or value  than the net
asset  value of the Shares so issued or sold  determined  as of such time as the
Board of Directors shall have by resolution prescribed. In the absence of such a
resolution,  such  net  asset  value  shall  be that  next  determined  after an
unconditional  order in proper form to purchase such Shares is accepted,  except
that  Shares  may be sold to an  underwriter  at (a) the net  asset  value  next
determined after such orders are received by a dealer with whom such underwriter
has a sales agreement or (b) the net asset value determined at a later time.

Section 9.2.  Fractional Shares. The Corporation may issue and sell fractions of
Shares  having  pro rata  all the  rights  of full  Shares,  including,  without
limitation,  the right to vote and to receive dividends,  and wherever the words
"Share" or "Shares"  are used in these  Articles or in the By-Laws they shall be
deemed to  include  fractions  of Shares,  where the  context  does not  clearly
indicate that only full Shares are intended.

TENTH: Except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, a majority of all the votes
cast at a  Stockholders'  meeting at which a quorum is present is  sufficient to
approve any matter which properly comes before the meeting.  Notwithstanding any
provision  of law  requiring  a greater  proportion  than a majority of the vote
thereon as a separate  Class or Series  (or of any Class or Series  entitled  to
vote thereon as a separate Class or Series) to take or authorize any action, the
Corporation  is hereby  authorized in accordance  with the authority  granted by
Section 2-104(b)(5) of the Maryland General Corporation Law, to take such action
upon the concurrence of a majority of the aggregate number of Shares entitled to
vote thereon (or of a majority of the  aggregate  number of Shares of a Class or
Series  entitled to vote  thereon as a separate  Class or Series).  The right to
cumulate votes in the election of directors is expressly prohibited.

<PAGE>

ELEVENTH:  Section 11.1. Board of Directors.  All corporate powers and authority
of the Corporation  (except as otherwise provided by statute,  by these Articles
of Incorporation,  or by the By-Laws of the Corporation)  shall be vested in and
exercised by the Board of Directors.  The number of directors  constituting  the
Board of Directors  shall be such number as may from time to time be fixed in or
in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation,  provided that if there is no
stock  outstanding,  the number of directors may be less than three but not less
than one, and further provided that if there is stock outstanding and so long as
there are less than three Stockholders, the number of directors may be less than
three but not less than the number of  Stockholders.  Except as  provided in the
By-Laws,  the election of directors  may be conducted in any way approved at the
meeting  (whether of  stockholders  or directors) at which the election is held,
provided that such election shall be by ballot whenever  requested by any person
entitled to vote.  The name of the  persons  who shall act as initial  directors
until  stock is issued  to more than one  stockholder  or the first  meeting  of
stockholders,  whichever  shall occur earlier,  and until their  successors have
been duly chosen and qualified are Jeffrey R. Cummer and Dwayne Moyers.

Section 11.2. By-Laws.  Except as may otherwise be provided in the By-Laws,  the
Board of Directors of the  Corporation is expressly  authorized to make,  alter,
amend and repeal By-Laws or to adopt new By-Laws of the Corporation, without any
action on the part of the  Stockholders;  but the  By-Laws  made by the Board of
Directors  and  the  power  so  conferred  may be  altered  or  repealed  by the
Stockholders.

Section 11.3. Inspection of Records. The Board of Directors shall have the power
to determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places, and under
what conditions and regulation, the accounts and books of the Corporation (other
than  the  stock  ledger),  or any of  them,  shall  be  open to  inspection  by
stockholders. No stockholders shall have any right to inspect any account, book,
or document of the Corporation, except to the extent permitted by statute or the
By-Laws.

TWELFTH: Section 12.1. The Board of Directors may in its discretion from time to
time enter into an exclusive or nonexclusive  distribution contract or contracts
providing  for the sale of Shares  whereby the  Corporation  may either agree to
sell Shares to the other party to the  contract or appoint  such other party its
sales agent for such Shares (such other party being herein  sometimes called the
"underwriter"),  and in  either  case on such  terms  and  conditions  as may be
prescribed in the By-Laws,  if any, and such further terms and conditions as the
Board of Directors may in its  discretion  determine not  inconsistent  with the
provisions of these  Articles of  Incorporation.  Such contract may also provide
for the  repurchase of Shares of the  Corporation by such other party or parties
as agent of the  Corporation.  The Board of Directors may also in its discretion
from time to time enter into an investment  advisory or  management  contract or
contracts whereby the other party to such contract shall undertake to furnish to
the Board of Directors such  management,  investment  advisory,  statistical and
research facilities and services and such other facilities and services, if any,
and all upon such terms and  conditions,  as the Board of  Directors  may in its
discretion determine.

<PAGE>

Section  12.2.  Any contract of the  character  described in Section 12.1 or for
services as  administrator,  custodian,  transfer  agent or disbursing  agent or
related  services  may be  entered  into with any  corporation,  firm,  trust or
association,  although  any one or  more of the  directors  or  officers  of the
Corporation may be an officer, director, trustee,  stockholder or member of such
other  party to the  contract,  and no such  contract  shall be  invalidated  or
rendered voidable by reason of the existence of any such relationship, nor shall
any  person  holding  such  relationship  be  liable  merely  by  reason of such
relationship  for any loss or expense to the  Corporation  under or by reason of
said  contract or  accountable  for any profit  realized  directly or indirectly
therefrom,  provided that the contract when entered into was reasonable and fair
and not  inconsistent  with the  provisions  of this Article  TWELFTH.  The same
person (including a firm,  corporation,  trust, or association) may be the other
party to any or all of the  contracts  entered  into  pursuant  to Section  12.1
above, and any individual may be financially  interested or otherwise affiliated
with  persons who are parties to any or all of the  contracts  mentioned in this
Section 12.2.

THIRTEENTH:  Section 13.1.  To the maximum  extent  permitted by applicable  law
(including  Maryland  law and the 1940 Act) as  currently in effect or as it may
hereafter be amended,  no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable
to the Corporation or its stockholders for money damages.

Section  13.2. To the maximum  extent  permitted by  applicable  law  (including
Maryland  law and the 1940 Act)  currently  in effect or as it may  hereafter be
amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to its present and
past  directors,  officers,  or  employees,  and persons who are serving or have
served at the  request of the  Corporation  as a  director,  officer,  employee,
partner, trustee or agent, of or in similar capacities,  for other entities. The
Board of Directors may determine that the Corporation shall provide  information
or advance expenses to an agent.

Section 13.3. Repeal or Modifications. No repeal or modification of this Article
THIRTEENTH by the stockholders of the  Corporation,  or adoption or modification
of any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws  inconsistent
with this Article  THIRTEENTH,  shall repeal or narrow any limitation on (1) the
liability of any director,  officer or employee of the  Corporation or (2) right
of  indemnification  available to any person  covered by these  provisions  with
respect to any act or omission which occurred prior to such repeal, modification
or adoption.

FOURTEENTH:  The  Corporation  reserves  the right from time to time to make any
amendment of these  Articles of  Incorporation,  now or hereafter  authorized by
law,  including any amendment  which alters  contract  rights,  as expressly set
forth in  these  Articles  of  Incorporation,  of any  outstanding  Shares.  Any
amendment to these  Articles of  Incorporation  may be adopted at any meeting of
the  stockholders  upon receiving an affirmative vote of a majority of all votes
entitled to be cast thereon.  The Board of Directors may,  without a Shareholder
vote,  order the filing of Articles  Supplementary  increasing or decreasing the
aggregate  number of Shares or the  number of Shares of any Series or Class that
the Corporation has authority to issue,  establishing  new Series or Classes and
describing the Shares thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed these Articles of Incorporation on October 20,
1999, and severally acknowledged the same to be my act.

Section 1.     Annual Meeting.  Subject to this Article II, an annual meeting of
               Shareholders for the election of Directors and the transaction of
               such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall
               be held at such time and place as the  Board of  Directors  shall
               select.  The Corporation  shall not be required to hold an annual

Section 2.     Special Meetings.  Special meetings of Shareholders may be called

               acted on, and (2) the Shareholders  requesting such meeting shall
               have paid to the  Corporation  the  reasonably  estimated cost of
               preparing  and mailing the notice  thereof,  which the  Secretary
               shall  determine  and  specify to such  Shareholders.  No special
               meeting  shall be called  upon the  request  of  Shareholders  to
               consider any matter which is  substantially  the same as a matter
               voted upon at any special meeting of the Shareholders held during
               the  preceding  12 months,  unless  requested by the holders of a
               majority of all shares entitled to be voted at such meeting.

Section 3.     Place of Meetings.  Meetings of  Shareholders  shall be held at a
               location  within the  Continental  United  States as the Board of
               Directors may from time to time determine.

Section 4.     Notice of Meetings;  Waiver of Notice.  Notice of the place, date
               and time of the holding of each Shareholders' meeting and, if the
               meeting is a special  meeting,  the  purpose or  purposes  of the
               meeting,  shall be given personally or by mail, not less that ten
               (10) nor more  that  ninety  (90)  days  before  the date of such
               meeting, to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting and
               to each  other  shareholder  entitled  to notice of the  meeting.

               address  as it appears on the  records of the  Corporation,  with
               postage thereon prepaid.

               Notice of any meeting of  Shareholders  shall be deemed waived by
               any  shareholder  who shall  attend such  meeting in person or by
               proxy, or who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a
               signed  waiver of notice  which is filed with the  records of the
               meeting.

Section 5.     Quorum,   Adjournment   of   Meetings.   The   presence   at  any
               Shareholders'  meeting, in person or by proxy, of Shareholders of
               one third (1/3RD ) of the shares of the stock of the  Corporation
               thereat shall be necessary and  sufficient to constitute a quorum
               for the  transaction  of business,  except for any matter  which,
               under applicable  statutes or regulatory  requirements,  requires
               approval by a separate  vote of one or more classes of stock,  in
               which case the presence in person or by proxy of  Shareholders of
               one third (1/3RD ) of the shares of stock of each class  required
               to vote as a class on the matter shall  constitute a quorum.  The
               holders of a majority  of shares  entitled to vote at the meeting
               and present in person or by proxy,  whether or not  sufficient to
               constitute a quorum,  or, any officer present entitled to preside
               or act as  Secretary  of such  meeting,  may  adjourn the meeting
               without  determining the date of a new meeting, or without notice
               to a date not more than 120 days after the original  record date.
               Any  business  that might  have been  transacted  at the  meeting
               originally  called and so adjourned may be transacted at any such
               subsequent meeting at which a quorum is present.

Section 6.     Organization.  At each meeting of the Shareholders,  the Chairman
               of the Board (if one has been designated by the Board), or in his
               or her absence or  inability  to act,  the  President,  or in the
               absence or  inability to act of the Chairman of the Board and the
               President,  the Vice  President,  shall  act as  chairman  of the
               meeting; provided, however, that if no such officer is present or
               able to act,  a  chairman  of the  meeting  shall be elected by a
               majority of the  Shareholders,  present in person or by proxy, at
               the meeting. The Secretary, or in his or her absence or inability
               to act,  any person  appointed  by the  chairman of the  meeting,
               shall  act as  secretary  of the  meeting  and keep  the  minutes
               thereof.

<PAGE>

Section 7.     Order of  Business.  The order of business at all meetings of the
               Shareholders  shall  be as  determined  by  the  chairman  of the
               meeting.

Section 8.     Voting.  Except as otherwise  provided by statute or the Articles
               of Incorporation, each holder of record of shares of stock of the
               Corporation having voting power shall be entitled at each meeting
               of the  Shareholders  to one vote for  every  full  share of such
               stock, with a fractional vote for any fractional shares, standing
               in  his  or  her  name  on the  records  of  Shareholders  of the
               Corporation as of the record date determined  pursuant to Section
               9 of this Article,  or if such record date shall not have been so
               fixed,  then at the later of (i) the close of business on the day
               on which  notice of the  meeting is mailed or (ii) the  thirtieth
               day before the meeting.

               Each shareholder  entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders
               may authorize  another person or persons to act for him or her by
               a   proxy   signed   by   such   shareholder   or   his   or  her
               attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of
               eleven months from the date thereof, unless otherwise provided in
               the proxy.  Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the
               shareholder  executing it, except in those cases where such proxy
               states  that  it  is   irrevocable   and  where  law  permits  an
               irrevocable proxy.  Except as otherwise provided by statute,  the
               Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws,  any corporate action
               to be taken by vote of the Shareholders  shall be authorized by a
               majority  of  the  total  votes  validly  cast  at a  meeting  of
               Shareholders at which a quorum is present.

               If a vote shall be taken on any question  other than the election
               of  directors,  which  shall be by written  ballot,  then  unless
               required  by  statute  or these  By-Laws,  or  determined  by the
               chairman of the meeting to be  advisable,  any such vote need not
               be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by
               the shareholder  voting, or by his or her proxy, if there be such
               proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

Section 9.     Fixing of Record Date.  The Board of Directors may fix a time not
               less  that 10 nor  more  than 90 days  prior  to the  date of any
               meeting  of  Shareholders  or prior to the last day on which  the
               consent or dissent of Shareholders  may be effectively  expressed
               for any  purpose  without  a  meeting,  as the  time as of  which
               Shareholders  entitled to notice of and to vote at such a meeting
               or whose  consent or dissent is required or may be expressed  for
               any  purpose,  as the case may be, shall be  determined;  and all
               persons who were  holders of record of voting  stock at such time
               and no other  shall be  entitled to notice of and to vote at such
               meeting or to express their  consent or dissent,  as the case may
               be. If no record  date has been  fixed,  the record  date for the
               determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
               a  meeting  of  Shareholders  shall be the  later of the close of
               business  on the day on which  notice of the meeting is mailed or
               the thirtieth day before the meeting,  or, if notice is waived by
               all Shareholders,  at the close of business on the tenth day next
               preceding  the day on which  the  meeting  is held.  The Board of
               Directors  may fix a  record  date for  determining  Shareholders
               entitled to receive  payment of a dividend or  distribution,  but
               such date shall be not more that 90 days before the date on which

<PAGE>

               such  payment  is made.  If no record  date has been  fixed,  the
               record  date for  determining  Shareholders  entitled  to receive
               dividends or distributions  shall be the close of business on the
               day on which the  resolution of the Board of Directors  declaring
               the dividend or  distribution  is adopted,  but the payment shall
               not be made  more  than 60  days  after  the  date on  which  the
               resolution is adopted.

Section 10.    Consent of Shareholders  in Lieu of Meeting.  Except as otherwise
               provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation,  any action
               required  to be  taken at any  meeting  of  Shareholders,  or any
               action  which may be taken at any  meeting of such  Shareholders,
               may be taken without a meeting,  without prior notice and without
               a  vote,   if  the  following  are  filed  with  the  records  of
               Shareholders meetings: (i) a unanimous written consent which sets
               forth the action and is signed by each  shareholder  entitled  to
               vote on the  matter,  and (ii) a  written  waiver of any right to
               dissent  signed  by each  shareholder  entitled  to notice of the
               meeting but not entitled to vote thereat.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                               ------------------

Section 1.     General Powers:

               (a) The property,  affairs and business of the Corporation  shall
               be managed by or under the  direction of the board of  directors,
               which may exercise all the powers of the Corporation except those
               powers vested solely in the  stockholders  of the  Corporation by
               statute, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these By-Laws.

               (b) All  acts  done by any  meeting  of the  Directors  or by any
               person acting as a director,  so long as his successor  shall not
               have been duly elected or appointed, shall,  notwithstanding that
               it be  afterwards  discovered  that there was some  defect in the
               election of the  directors or of such person  acting as aforesaid
               or that they or any of them were disqualified,  be as valid as if
               the directors or such other person,  as the case may be, had been
               duly  elected  and were or was  qualified  to be  directors  or a
               director of the Corporation.

               Power to Issue and Sell Stock:  The board of  directors  may from
               time to time issue and sell or cause to be issued and sold any of
               the Corporation's  authorized shares to such persons and for such
               consideration  as the board of  directors  shall deem  advisable,
               subject to the  provisions  of Articles  Sixth and Seventh of the
               Articles of Incorporation.

               Power to Declare Dividends: The board of directors,  from time to
               time as it may deem  advisable,  may declare and pay dividends in
               stock,  cash or other  property  of the  Corporation,  out of any
               source available for dividends,  to the stockholders according to
               their  respective  rights and  interests in  accordance  with the
               provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.

<PAGE>

               (a) The board of  directors  shall cause to be  accompanied  by a
               written  statement any dividend payment wholly or partly from any
               source other than:

                    i) the  Corporation's  accumulated  undistributed net income
                    (determined in accordance with good accounting  practice and
                    the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange
                    Commission  then in  effect)  and not  including  profits or
                    losses  realized  upon  the  sale  of  securities  or  other
                    properties; or

                    ii) the  Corporation's  net  income  so  determined  for the
                    current or preceding fiscal year.

               Such statement shall adequately disclose the source or sources of
               such payment and the basis of  calculation,  and shall be in such
               form as the Securities and Exchange Commission may prescribe.

Section 2.     Number of Directors.  The number of directors shall be fixed from
               time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted by a
               majority of the Directors then in office; provided, however, that
               the number of Directors  shall in no event be less that three (3)
               nor more than fifteen (15) except that the  Corporation  may have
               less than three (3) but not less than one (1)  Director  if there
               is no stock  outstanding,  and may have a number of  Directors no
               fewer than the number of  Shareholders so long as there are fewer
               than three (3)  Shareholders.  Any vacancy created by an increase
               in Directors may be filled in  accordance  with Section 6 of this
               Article III. No  reduction in the number of Directors  shall have
               the effect of removing  any  Director  from  office  prior to the
               expiration   of  his  or  her  term  unless   such   Director  is
               specifically removed pursuant to Section 5 of this Article III at
               the time of such decrease. Directors need not be Shareholders.

Section 3.     Election  and  Term of  Directors.  Directors  shall  be  elected
               annually, by written ballot at the annual meeting of Shareholders
               or a special  meeting held for that purpose;  provided,  however,
               that if no annual meeting of the  Shareholders of the Corporation
               is required to be held in a particular year pursuant to Section 1
               of Article II of these By-Laws, Directors shall be elected at the
               next annual  meeting  held.  The term of office of each  Director
               shall be from the time of his or her election  and  qualification
               until  the  election  of  Directors  next  succeeding  his or her
               election and until his or her  successor  shall have been elected
               and shall have qualified.

Section 4.     Resignation. A director of the Corporation may resign at any time
               by giving written notice of his or her  resignation to the Board,
               or the Chairman of the Board, or the President, or the Secretary.
               Any such  resignation  shall  take  effect at the time  specified
               therein or, if the time when it shall become  effective shall not
               be specified therein,  immediately upon its receipt;  and, unless
               otherwise  specified therein,  the acceptance of such resignation
               shall not be necessary to make it effective.

<PAGE>

Section 5.     Removal of  Directors.  Any  Director of the  Corporation  may be
               removed by the Shareholders by a vote of a majority of the shares
               entitled to be cast for the election of Directors.

Section 6.     Vacancies. If any vacancies shall occur in the Board of Directors
               (i) by reason of death,  resignation,  removal or otherwise,  the
               remaining  directors  shall continue to act, and,  subject to the
               provisions of the Investment  Company Act of 1940, such vacancies
               (if not previously filled by the Shareholders) may be filled by a
               majority of the remaining Directors, although less than a quorum,
               and (ii) by reason of an  increase  in the  authorized  number of
               Directors,  such  vacancies  (if  not  previously  filled  by the
               Shareholders) may be filled only by a majority vote of the entire
               Board of Directors.

Section 7.     Offices,  Records, Places of Meetings. The Directors may have one
               or more offices and may keep the books of the Corporation outside
               the State of Maryland, and within or without the United States of
               America,  at any office or offices of the  Corporation  or at any
               other  place  as  they  may  from  time  to  time  by  resolution
               determine; and in the case of meetings of the Board of Directors,
               such  meetings  may be held at any place,  within or without  the
               United  States of America,  as the Board may from time to time by
               resolution  determine,  or as shall be  specified or fixed in the
               respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

Section 8.     Regular  Meetings.  The Board of Directors  from time to time may
               provide by resolution for the holding of regular meetings and fix
               their  time and place as the Board of  Directors  may  determine.
               Notice of such regular meetings need not be in writing,  provided
               that  notice  of any  change  in the time or place of such  fixed
               regular meetings shall be communicated  promptly to each Director
               not present at the meeting at which such change was made,  in the
               manner  provided  in Section 9 of this  Article III for notice of
               special  meetings.  Members  of the  Board  of  Directors  or any
               committee designated thereby may participate in a meeting of such
               Board   or   committee   by   telephone   conference   or   other
               communications method by means of which all persons participating
               in the  meeting  can  hear  each  other  at the  same  time,  and
               participation by such means shall  constitute  presence in person
               at a  meeting,  subject  to the  requirements  of the  Investment
               Company Act of 1940.

Section 9.     Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may
               be held at any time or place and for any  purpose  when called by
               the  President,  the  Secretary or two or more of the  Directors.
               Notice of special meetings,  stating the time and place, shall be
               communicated   to  each  Director   personally  by  telephone  or
               transmitted  to him or her by mail,  telegraph,  telefax,  telex,
               cable, e-mail or wireless at least one day before the meeting.

Section 10.    Waiver  of  Notice.  No  notice  of any  meeting  of the Board of
               Directors  or a  committee  of the  Board  need be  given  to any
               Director  who is present at the  meeting or who waives  notice of
               such  meeting in writing  (which  waiver  shall be filed with the
               records of such meeting),  either before or after the time of the
               meeting.

<PAGE>

Section 11.    Quorum and Voting. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the
               presence  of one third of the  entire  Board of  Directors  shall
               constitute a quorum unless there are only two or three Directors,
               in which case two Directors shall  constitute a quorum.  If there
               is only  one  Director,  the sole  Director  shall  constitute  a
               quorum.  At any adjourned  meeting at which a quorum was present,
               any business may be transacted at a subsequent  meeting, at which
               a quorum is  present,  which  might have been  transacted  at the
               meeting as originally called.

               President, or, in his or her absence or inability to act, another
               Director chosen by a majority of the Directors present, shall act
               as chairman of the meeting  and preside  thereat.  The  Secretary

               Board  of  Directors  or of any  committee  thereof  may be taken
               without a meeting if all  members of the Board or  committee,  as
               the case may be, consent  thereto in writing,  and the writing or

                                   ----------

Section 1.     Organization.  By  resolution  adopted by the Board of Directors,
               the Board may  designate  one or more  committees,  including  an
               Executive Committee, composed of two or more Directors. The Board
               of  Directors  shall elect the Chairmen of such  committees.  The
               Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to change the
               members  of  such   committees  and  to  fill  vacancies  in  the
               committees. The Board may delegate to these committees any of its
               powers,  except the power to  authorize  the  issuance  of stock,
               declare  a  dividend  or  distribution  on  stock,  recommend  to
               Shareholders any action  requiring  shareholder  approval,  amend
               these By-Laws, or approve any merger or share exchange which does
               not require shareholder  approval.  If the Board of Directors has
               given  general   authorization  for  the  issuance  of  stock,  a
               committee of the Board,  in accordance  with a general formula or
               method  specified by the Board by  resolution or by adoption of a
               stock option or other plan, may fix the terms of stock subject to
               classification  or  reclassification  and the  terms on which any
               stock may be issued,  including all terms and conditions required
               or  permitted to be  established  or  authorized  by the Board of
               Directors.

Section 2.     Proceedings  and  Quorum.   In  the  absence  of  an  appropriate
               resolution  of the Board of Directors,  each  committee may adopt
               such rules and regulations governing its proceedings,  quorum and
               manner of acting as it shall deem  proper and  desirable.  In the
               event any member of any committee is absent from any meeting, the
               members  thereof  present  at the  meeting,  whether  or not they
               constitute  a  quorum,  may  appoint  a  member  of the  Board of
               Directors to act in the place of such absent member.

               majority of the members of the Board of  Directors at any regular
               meeting  or at a special  meeting  called for such  purpose.  Any

               Board of  Directors  or the  President.  At the request or in the
               absence or disability of the  President,  the Vice President (or,

               such officers present and able to act) may perform all the duties
               of the President  and, when so acting,  shall have all the powers

               Directors,  he or she shall have general supervision of the funds
               and property of the  Corporation  and of the  performance  by the
               Custodian  of its duties with  respect  thereto.  He or she shall

               year. He or she shall  perform all acts  incidental to the Office
               of Treasurer, subject to the control of the Board of Directors.

               as the  Treasurer or the Board of Directors  may assign,  and, in
               the absence of the  Treasurer,  the  Assistant  Treasurer  (or if
               there are two or more Assistant Treasurers,  then the more senior

               Directors may direct and such books,  reports,  certificates  and
               other documents required by law to be kept, all of which shall at

               as the  Secretary of the Board of Directors  may assign,  and, in
               the absence of the  Secretary,  he or she (or if there are two or

               such period,  have such  authority and perform such duties as the

               to  appoint  any  such  subordinate  officers  or  agents  and to

               by  resolution  delegate  to any person or group of  persons  the

               and Exchange  Commission) to the Corporation in such sum and with

               conditioned upon the faithful performance of his or her duties to
               the Corporation,  including responsibility for negligence and for
               the  accounting of any of the  Corporation's  property,  funds or

                          INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
                          -----------------------------

Section 1.     Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents: The
               Corporation  shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or
               is  threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or
               completed action,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,
               administrative or investigative ("Proceeding'),  by reason of the
               fact that he or she is or was a director,  officer or employee of
               the  Corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of the
               Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or
               agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust,
               or other enterprise,  against all reasonable  expenses (including
               attorneys'  fees)  actually  incurred,   and  judgments,   fines,
               penalties and amounts paid in settlement in connection  with such
               Proceeding to the maximum  extent  permitted by law, now existing
               or  hereafter  adopted.   Notwithstanding   the  foregoing,   the
               following  provisions shall apply with respect to indemnification
               of the Corporation's directors,  officers, and investment adviser
               (as defined in the Investment Company act of 1940, as amended):

               (a) Whether or not there is an  adjudication of liability in such
               Proceeding,  the Corporation  shall not indemnify any such person
               for any  liability  arising  by reason of such  person's  willful
               misfeasance,  bad faith, gross negligence,  or reckless disregard
               of the  duties  involved  in the  conduct of his or her office or
               reckless  disregard of his duties under any contract or agreement
               with the Corporation ("Disabling Conduct").

<PAGE>

               (b) The Corporation shall not indemnify any such person unless:

                    (1) the court or other body before which the  proceeding was
                    brought (a) dismisses the  Proceeding for  insufficiency  of
                    evidence of any  disabling  conduct,  or (b) reaches a final
                    decision  on the merits  that such  person was not liable by
                    reason of disabling conduct; or

                    (2) absent such a decision,  a reasonable  determination  is
                    made, based upon a review of the facts, by (a) the vote of a
                    majority of a quorum of the directors of the Corporation who
                    are  neither  "interested  persons"  of the  Corporation  as
                    defined in the  Investment  Company act of 1940, as amended,
                    nor  parties to the  Proceeding,  or (b) if a majority  of a
                    quorum of directors  described above so directs,  or if such
                    quorum is not  obtainable,  based upon a written  opinion by
                    independent  legal counsel,  that such person was not liable
                    by reason of disabling conduct.

               (c) Reasonable expenses  (including  attorneys' fees) incurred in
               defending a Proceeding  involving any such person will be paid by
               the Corporation in advance of the final disposition  thereof upon
               an undertaking by such person to repay such expenses unless it is
               ultimately   determined   that   he  or   she  is   entitled   to
               indemnification, if:

                    (1) such person shall provide  adequate  security for his or
                    her undertaking;

                    (2) the Corporation  shall be insured against losses arising
                    by reason of such advance; or

                    (3)  a  majority  of  a  quorum  of  the  directors  of  the
                    Corporation  who are  neither  "interested  persons"  of the
                    Corporation  as defined  in the  Investment  Company  act of
                    1940,  as  amended,  nor  parties  to  the  proceeding,   or
                    independent  legal  counsel  in  a  written  opinion,  shall
                    determine,  based on a review of  readily  available  facts,
                    that there is reason to  believe  that such  person  will be
                    found to be entitled to indemnification.

Section 2.     Insurance  of  Officers,  Directors,  Employees  and Agents:  The
               Corporation may purchase and maintain  insurance or other sources
               of  reimbursement to the extent permitted by law on behalf of any
               person who is or was a  director,  officer,  employee or agent of
               the  Corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of the
               Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or
               agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust
               or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or
               her and  incurred  by him or her in or arising  out of his or her
               position.

Section 3.     Non-exclusivity:  The indemnification and advancement of expenses
               provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall not be
               deemed  exclusive  of any  other  rights to which  those  seeking
               indemnification  or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
               the Articles of Incorporation, these By-Laws, any agreement, vote
               of stockholders or directors, or otherwise,  both as to action in
               his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity
               while holding such office.

                                  CAPITAL STOCK
                                  -------------

Section 1.     Stock  Certificates.  The  interest  of each  shareholder  of the
               Corporation may be evidenced by certificates  for shares of stock
               in such  form as the  Board of  Directors  may from  time to time
               prescribe.  The Board of  Directors  is  expressly  empowered  to
               direct that stock  certificates  not be issued to  evidence  such
               shareholder ownership, and in such a case, the Board of Directors
               prescribe such other method or  arrangement  for the recording of
               such interests as they deem reasonable and proper.

               In the event that the Board of  Directors  elects to issue  stock
               certificates, the certificates representing shares of stock shall
               be signed by or in the name of the  Corporation  by the President
               or a Vice  President  and  countersigned  by the  Secretary or an
               Assistant  Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant  Treasurer.
               Certificates  may be sealed with the actual  corporate  seal or a
               facsimile  of it or  in  any  other  form.  Any  or  all  of  the
               signatures  of the  seal  on the  certificate  may be  manual  or
               facsimile.  In case any officer,  transfer agent or registrar who
