                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. In the opinion of the Trustee, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  interim  closing
procedures)  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  position of the Pooled
Equity,  Pooled Debt, and Pooled Income (the "Collective  Investment Trusts") as
of April 30, 1999,  and October 31, 1998,  the results of  operations  for the
three  months  ended  January  31,  1999 and 1998,  and cash flows for the three
months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998.

2. The results of  operations  for the three months  ended  April 30, 1999 and
1998, are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year 1999, nor the results experienced for the full year 1998.

3. The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared  consistently with
accounting  principles  described  more  fully  in  Note 1 to  the  consolidated
financial  statements  included in the Trustee's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended October 31, 1998.

Item 2. Trustee's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

The Dow Jones Industrial  Average broke through 10,000 for the first time at the
end of March,  but this rise to a record  level  masked a broad  weakness in the
rest of the market.

At that  point,  there  had  never  been  such a gap  between  the  few  popular
large-capitalization stocks that dominate the indices and the overall market. On
the day the Dow crossed 10,000, declining issues outnumbered advancing issues by
a large margin and more than 70% of New York Stock Exchange  stocks were trading
at least 25% below their 52-week  high.  Within the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
there were wide differences in growth.  The top 30 stocks in the index accounted
for 98% of its rise.

Then in a swift,  stunning turnaround in April, the former mid-cap and small-cap
cyclical laggards handily  outperformed the once invincible large-cap growth and
technology stocks.  Mutual funds that had produced huge gains the past 18 months
by making big bets on these large-cap stocks fell as a result.

Observers  attributed  the  reversal  to a powerful  market  rotation  which led
investors to pull money from the high  price/earnings  ratio glamour  stocks and
move it into inexpensive stocks, primarily cyclical and industrial companies.

The biggest  domestic  winners were the micro-cap  stocks.  The economic sectors
that  benefited  the most were  paper,  chemical  and oil.  Some of the  biggest
casualties were the highly valued Internet stocks such as America Online,  which
was  trading at 600 times its  trailing  year  earnings  and had a market  value
greater than Coca-Cola.

For the quarter ended April 30, 1999, the S & P 500 Index was up 4.67% while the
Value Line Composite  increased 3.74% and the Russell 2000 rose 1.69%.  However,
for the month of April  alone,  the S & P 500 Index,  Value Line  Composite  and
Russell 2000 were up 3.87%, 8.98%, and 8.95%, respectively, showing the strength
of the mid-cap, small-cap and cyclical stocks during April.

Stock market rallies in Japan and Brazil  surprised  global investors during the
quarter.  These helped to offset  slumping  returns on most  European  exchanges
following the introduction of the Euro as a common currency.

Speculation  that Japan's economy may finally be rising after almost a decade of
failure spurred the rally in Tokyo. Foreign investors fueled the Japanese market
rally, with selling from all segments of Japanese  stockholders.  The enthusiasm
was not dampened even by strong  indications  that Japan's lengthy  recession is
far from over.  Foreign  buying of  Japanese  stocks has not been this strong in
five years.

Evidence of inflation was almost non-existent  during the quarter.  Productivity
gains and low commodity  prices in the U.S. helped offset strong economic growth
and a 29-year low in unemployment. Inflation outside the U.S. is low and slowing
in many countries,  and some have experienced  deflation.  Low inflation and the
apparent international economic slowing prompted the Federal Reserve to hold the
benchmark Federal Funds rate steady.
<PAGE>
Despite low inflation, interest rates moved sharply higher during the quarter on
a continuous  stream of strong  economic  reports.  February saw the most severe
monthly  increase  in rates in more  than a decade.  For  example,  the  10-year
Treasury bond began the year at a yield of 4.64% and rose to 5.35% by the end of
the quarter.

The signals for the future of the economy  and the markets  remain  mixed.  Many
still  expect the economy to weaken,  while others  think  consumer  buying will
continue to support growth. Global uncertainty, rising interest rates and record
margin debt continue to be concerns for the prudent investor.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

                                 Not Applicable.


Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

The Year 2000 readiness issue is the result of computer  programs that have been
coded to define a year  using two  digits  rather  than  four.  For  example,  a
substantial  number of programs have date sensitive coding which may recognize a
date using "00" as 1900 rather than 2000. If not corrected, this could result in
system failures or miscalculations  causing disruptions to the Bank's operations
and financial performance.

The Bank  has  been  actively  working  on this  issue  since  1996.  A plan was
developed in which Year 2000 issues are divided into two areas--those  involving
mission critical functions and those involving  non-critical  functions.  Within
these two areas,  applications  were  further  divided into those over which the
Bank had control and those which were controlled by outside vendors.

A  five-step  plan  was then  developed  involving  1)  inventory,  2)  solution
planning, 3) renovation, 4) testing, and 5) implementation.  This plan addresses
both information  technology systems and non-information  technology assets such
as equipment containing embedded chips.

The  approximate  percentage of each type of mission  critical  application  for
which the Bank has completed the  respective  step of the five-step  plan is set
forth below:
<PAGE>

                                  Bank-Controlled    Vendor-Controlled
                                  Mission Critical   Mission Critical

Inventory                                 99%                99%
Solution Planning                         99%                99%
Renovation                                99%                83%
Testing                                   99%                83%
Implementation                            90%                80%


Substantial  progress has also been made on the completion of the five step plan
for  non-mission  critical  items; as of April 30, 1999, 94% of all identified
Bank-controlled  applications had been completed  through the testing stage, and
80% of the vendor-controlled applications had been completed through the testing
stage. Completion of testing is scheduled for June 30, 1999.

The Bank also has made  significant  steps toward  assessing its hardware and is
making substantial progress toward replacing necessary equipment.  All mainframe
and mid-range  systems are in place, and an inventory of personal  computers has
been concluded.

The  Bank  estimates  that  the  total  cost of its Year  2000  project  will be
approximately  $24  million.  Of this  amount,  $10  million  was spent in 1997;
approximately  $12 million was spent in 1998,  and the  remaining  $2 million is
projected for 1999. While these numbers are  substantial,  they include the cost
of a significant number of system  replacements that would have been required in
the near future regardless of the Year 2000 issue.  These costs are being funded
through operating technology, and the cost of Year 2000 efforts should be viewed
in its  context  as a  significant  portion  of the  Bank's  annual  information
technology  budget.  Although the  priority  given to Year 2000 issues may cause
other information  technology projects to be delayed, such delay is not expected
to have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition,  business or
operations.

Year 2000  issues can  affect the Bank not only as a result of its own  internal
systems,  but also as a result of the success of third  parties in dealing  with
their  Year 2000  issues.  The Bank has in place a program  to  investigate  and
quantify the Year 2000 issues arising from its relationships  with third parties
such  as  borrowers,  vendors,  counter  parties,  issuers  of debt  and  equity
securities  in which the Funds may  invest,  and  service  providers  (e.g.  the
federal reserve system,  telecommunications  providers and electric  utilities).
Interfaces  and  connectivity  with  these  parties  and  systems  also  present
significant  issues.  Because  the Funds buy,  hold and sell the  securities  of
various  issuers,  the  state of year 2000  readiness  of such  issuers  is also
important. The bank has established a policy in which, as part of its review and
consideration  of issuers whose  securities are being considered for purchase by
the Funds,  it reviews the  portions of the public  filings of such issuers that
describe their  respective  efforts and status  relating to Year 2000 readiness.
the Bank does not,  however,  attempt to independently  confirm or verify any of
the  representations  or
<PAGE>
statements made by such issuers in such filings.  There can be no assurance that
each third party will adequately address its Year 2000 issues.

A failure of the Bank to successfully remediate its own Year 2000 problems, or a
failure by counter parties,  significant  suppliers,  customers with substantial
relationships,  or  failures  in the  payment  system  could have a  substantial
negative  impact on the Bank.  In  addition,  the Bank  could  face  significant
disruptions  of  business  and  financial  losses  if  there  were  failures  of
telecommunications  systems, utility systems, security clearing systems or other
elements of the financial industry infrastructure.  These negative affects could
have a material  adverse  effect on the Funds.  Because of the range of possible
issues  associated with the Bank's and third parties' year 2000 issues,  and the
large number of variables  involved,  it is impossible to quantify the potential
consequences  or costs of  problems  that may  occur if  respective  remediation
efforts are not successful.

All of the foregoing is based on the Bank's  management's  current assessment of
the situation using information  available to it. Other factors that might cause
material changes include,  but are not limited to, the loss of key personnel and
the ability to respond to unforeseen complications. Because the Bank's Year 2000
efforts are not entirely complete, and due to its reliance on business partners,
vendors,  customers,  utilities,  telecommunications  providers and others,  the
outcome of Year 2000  readiness is uncertain and such issues may have a material
adverse effect on the Bank's, as well as the Funds',  future financial condition
and future operating results.

The Bank continues to develop  contingency plans to address failures due to Year
2000 issues relating to, among other things, its operations, physical locations,
products, suppliers, and public infrastructure.  The Bank's contingency planning
includes  remediation  contingency  plans and  business  resumption  contingency
plans. Remediation contingency plans are designed to address alternative courses
of action in the event  remediation  of a mission  critical  system falls behind
schedule or is not successfully remediated.  Remediation contingency planning is
substantially  complete.  Business resumption  contingency plans are designed to
address  Year 2000  problems  that could  arise  even  though the Bank and third
parties have  completed  remediation.  The Bank's Year 2000 business  resumption
contingency  planning  includes  event  plans  for each  functional  department,
documented  back-up  procedures  in the event of a  failure,  identification  of
supplies,  materials and processes that must be on hand in the event the plan is
activated and coordination of personnel.  Business  resumption  planning is well
under  way  and  will   continue   through  the  first  two  quarters  of  1999.
Notwithstanding  extensive contingency planning,  the failure of certain mission
critical  third  parties,  such  as  utilities,   telecommunications  providers,
transportation   service  providers  or  certain  governmental   entities  could
adversely affect the Bank and the Funds.

Safe Harbor Statement

The  above  statements  regarding  Year  2000  readiness,   including,   without
limitation,  statements  as to the Bank's  expectations  and  beliefs  presented
above, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based
upon the Bank's expectations and belief
<PAGE>
concerning future  developments and their potential effect upon the Bank and the
Funds. There can be no assurance that future  developments will be in accordance
with the Bank's  expectations  or that the effect of future  developments on the
Bank or the Funds will be those anticipated by the Bank.

The Bank wishes to caution readers that the assumptions which form the basis for
forward-looking  statements  with respect to or that may impact  earnings on the
units of the Funds  include many  factors that are beyond the Bank's  ability to
control or estimate precisely.  These risks and uncertainties  include,  but are
not limited to, the impact of competition in the banking and financial  services
industry; changes in the pricing of the services of the Bank or its competitors;
the loss of a significant customer or supplier; disruptions in operations due to
failures of  telecommunications  systems,  utility  systems,  security  clearing
systems,  or  other  elements  of the  financial  industry  infrastructure;  the
unanticipated costs and disruption in operations due to Year 2000 non-compliance
of both the Bank and the  companies  in which  the  Funds  hold  debt or  equity
interests;   the  costs  and  other   effects  of  complying   with   regulatory
requirements;  the cost and other effects of legal and administrative  cases and
proceedings,   settlements   and   investigations;   and   changes  in  U.S.  or
International   economic  or   political   conditions,   such  as  inflation  or
fluctuations in interest or foreign exchange rates.

While  the  Bank  periodically  reassesses  material  trends  and  uncertainties
affecting the Fund's results of operations and financial condition in connection
with its  preparation of management's  discussion and analysis  contained in the
Funds'  annual  and  quarterly  reports,  the Bank does not  intend to review or
revise any particular  forward-looking  statement  referenced herein in light of
future events.
