ABT GROWTH AND INCOME TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements  May 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Summary of Significant   
     Accounting Policies
     ABT Growth and Income Trust (the Fund) is a Maryland corporation. The Fund
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end,
diversified management investment company. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of it financial
statements.
(a)  Valuation of Investments. Securities listed or trade on a recognized
national stock exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the last reported sales prices
on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded. Over-the-counter
securities and listed securities for which no sale is reported are valued at the
last current bid price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined by management and approved in
good faith by the Board of Trustees. Securities with a remaining maturity of 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
(b)  Repurchase Agreements. Money market instruments may be purchased from banks
and non-bank dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an
agreed upon date and price. The Fund's custodian takes possession of securities
collateralizing repurchase agreements until maturity of the repurchase agreement
through the Federal Reserve Book Entry System. Collateral is marked-to-market
daily to ensure that the market values of the underlying assets remain
sufficient to protect the Fund in the event of default; however, in the event of
default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings..
(c)  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment
transactions are accounted for on trade date basis. Interest income is recorded
on a daily basis and dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date.
(d)  Income Taxes. It is the Fund's intention to comply with the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
provision has been made for federal income taxes. Distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations.

2.  Transactions in Shares of   
    Beneficial Interest
    As of May 31,1995, there were an unlimited number of shares at $1.00 par

Fund reimburses ABT monthly (subject to a limit of 0.25% per annum of the Fund's
average daily net assets) for ABT's costs and expenses in connection with any
activity that is primarily intended to result in a sale of Fund shares.  Such
distribution fees are set forth in the Statement of Operations.

     During the year ended November 30, 1994, The Bank of New York provided
administrative and accounting services for the Fund, for which they received the
fees shown in the Statement of Operations.  Effective December 1, 1994,

proceeds from sales of investment securities other than short-term obligations

purposes is the same as that shown in the investment portfolio.  Realized gains
and losses are reported on an identified cost basis.

5.   Capital Loss Carryforward
     At January 31, 1995, the tax year end of the Fund, the Fund had a net
realized capital loss carryforward of $3,084,806, which may be utilized to
offset future capital gains. Unless utilized, such loss carryforward expires as
follows: 1996, $1,418,721; 1998, $591,956; 1999, $242,357; and 2000, $831,772. 

6.   Reorganization
     On March 3, 1995, the Adviser and certain of its affiliates entered into an
Asset Purchase Agreement with First Union National Bank (First Union) pursuant
to which First Union would acquire substantially all of the assets of the
Adviser (the Acquisition).  On March 15, 1995, in connection with the
Acquisition, the Fund, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
Plan) with First Union Funds, on behalf of First Union Value Portfolio (the
Portfolio).  The Plan provides that the Fund will transfer substantially all of
its assets in exchange for Class A shares of beneficial interest of the
Portfolio, a diversified series of First Union Funds, on a tax-free basis.  It
is anticipated that the Plan will be consummated at the close of business on
June 30, 1995.
