This sector has shown Wall Street lofty highs and humble lows, and we believe it offers great possibilities for the future.

Defined Technology Portfolio^SM

Why Technology Now?

Imagine your world without cable TV, a cellular phone or a home computer. How would your place of business operate without online services and networking capabilities? While many technology companies have seen ups and downs, overall, the industry's products have become essential to the way we do business and how we live. Despite wide variations over the last few years in the performance of certain stocks in the Merrill Lynch 100 Technology Index (ML 100 Index), the sector itself continues to redefine our economy and future in dramatic ways.

The Rebalancing Model

By applying a Rebalancing Model to the ML 100 Index, the Portfolio seeks to outperform the Index by reweighting each stock to increase potential return. Bernard V. Tew, Ph.D., Chairman of Q.E.D. Investments, designed his quantitative model as a means for improving returns and controlling risks in speculative equity sectors. As Portfolio Consultant for the Defined Technology Portfolio, Dr. Tew works with Defined Asset Funds to apply the following stock selection process:

Define the Universe
We begin by defining the universe of stocks. In this case, we use the ML 100 Index for its exposure to the technology sector, as well as its emphasis on highly capitalized stocks.

Construct an Enhanced Portfolio
Stocks in the ML 100 Index are then analyzed by the Portfolio Consultant for historical correlation relationships to identify stocks whose prices move inversely to one another. These relationships create a portfolio of stocks that complement each other, which may reduce volatility.

Reweight the Index
We then reweight the ML 100 Index, stock by stock. Stocks considered most attractive, those with the best prices relative to potential performance, are weighted most heavily. Stocks with less-attractive prices relative to returns are underweighted. This reweighting is designed to enhance potential return.

Rebalance the Portfolio
Because the Model works best over a one-year period, Defined Asset Funds and the Portfolio Consultant plan to construct a new Portfolio each year. The Model will be reapplied to the ML 100 Index to determine the weightings for a new Defined Technology Portfolio. At that time, you can choose to roll your proceeds into the new Portfolio, if available, or you can redeem your investment. Although this is a one-year investment, we recommend you continue with this Strategy for at least three to five years for potentially more consistent results.

The chart above shows average annual total returns which represent price changes plus dividends reinvested, divided by the initial public offering price, and reflect deduction of maximum sales charges and expenses. Return for Series From Inception differ from Most Recently Completed Portfolio because the former figures reflect different performance periods and a reduced sales charge on annual rollovers. * This Portfolio was originally Series I and rolled into Series 99C on August 30, 1999. † This Portfolio was originally Series 2 and rolled into Series A on January 24, 2000. ‡ This Portfolio was originally Series 3 and rolled into Series C on May 10, 2000.

Defining Your Risks Please keep in mind the following factors when considering this investment. Your financial professional will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
•	There can be no assurance that this Portfolio will meet its objective or that it will outperform the ML100 Index.
•	This Portfolio is designed for investors who can assume the additional risks associated with aggressive growth equity investments, and may not be appropriate for investors seeking capital preservation or current income.
•	This Portfolio is composed of aggressive growth stocks that are subject to extreme price volatility; therefore, it inay be considered speculative.
•	This Portfolio consists exclusively of stocks from the technology sector and should not be considered a complete investment program.
•	This Portfolio does not reflect research opinions or any buy or sell recommendations from the Sponsor.
•	This Portfolio contains international equity investrments, which may involve special risks including higher price volatility, currency fluctuations and political developments.
Tax Efficiency When seeking capital appreciation, managing tax liability on capital gains can be vital to your overall return. By holding this Fund for more than one year, individuals may be eligible for favorable federal tax rates on net long-term capital gains (currently no more than 20%). Generally, dividends and any gains will be subject to tax each year, whether or not reinvested. However, on rollovers to future Portfolios, if available, certain investors may defer recognition of gains and losses for federal tax purposes on stocks that are transferred to the new Portfolio. Please consult your tax advisor concerning state and local taxation.

Defining Your Costs You will pay an initial sales charge of about 1% the first time you buy. In addition, you'll pay a deferred sales charge of $15.00 per 1,000 units, about 1.50%.
	As a % of Public Offering Price	Amount Per 1,000 Units

Initial Sales Charge	1.00%	$10.00
Deferred Sales Charge	1.50%	$15.00

Maximum Sales Charge	2.50%	$25.00

Creation and Development Fee (as a % of net assets)	0.250%	$2.48

Estimated Annual Expenses (as a % of net assets)	0.187%	$1.85

Estimated Organization Costs		$1.53

If you sell your units before the terinination date, the remaining balance of your deferred sales charge will be deducted, along with the estimated costs of selling Portfolio securities, from the proceeds you receive. If you roll over to a successor Portfolio, if available, the initial sales charge on that Portfolio will be waived. You will only pay the deferred sales charge. Volume Purchase Discounts For larger purchases, the overall sales charges are reduced to put more of your investment dollars to work for you.


If You Invest:		Your Maximum Sales Charge (as a % of each $1,000 invested) Will Be:

Less than $50,000		2.50%
$50,000 to $99,999		2.25
