FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax and, to the extent
possible, from Connecticut personal income tax, as is consistent with
preservation of capital.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment
strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in municipal money market
securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing at least 65% of total assets in
municipal securities whose interest is exempt from Connecticut
personal income tax.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of the fund's
income distributions is exempt from federal income tax.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Investing in compliance with industry-standard
requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and
diversification of investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment
risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The municipal
market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax,
legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the
issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a money market security to decrease.
(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Entities located in foreign
countries can be affected by adverse political, regulatory, market or
economic developments in those countries.
(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Unfavorable
political or economic conditions within Connecticut can affect the
credit quality of issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. A decline in the
credit quality of an issuer or the provider of credit support or a
maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a
money market security to decrease.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the fund.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks a high level of
current income, exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut
personal income tax.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR's principal investment strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in investment-grade municipal
debt securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of the fund's
income is exempt from federal and Connecticut personal income taxes.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Managing the fund to have similar overall
interest rate risk to the Lehman Brothers Connecticut 4 Plus Year
Enhanced Municipal Bond Index.
(small solid bullet) Allocating assets across different market sectors
and maturities.
(small solid bullet) Analyzing a security's structural features,
current pricing and trading opportunities, and the credit quality of
its issuer in selecting investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The municipal market
is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax,
legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the
issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Unfavorable political
or economic conditions within Connecticut can affect the credit
quality of issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently than
the value of the market as a whole.
In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a
greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single
issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would
occur in a more diversified fund.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

O n behalf of Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market and
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income, FMR has entered into
arrangements with each fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to
reduce fund expenses. Connecticut Municipal Money Market has entered
into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to
reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these
reductions, the total fund operating expenses would have been
unchanged for Connecticut Municipal Money Market, 0.49 % for
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market , and 0.54 %
for Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income.
This EXAMPLE helps you compare the cost of investing in the funds with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5% and
that your shareholder fees and each fund's annual operating expenses
are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates
the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or
expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

debt securities.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of the

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal
securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to
education, health care, transportation and utilities.
FMR uses the Lehman Brothers Connecticut 4 Plus Year Enhanced
Municipal Bond Index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting
its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest
rate risk to the index. As of November 30, 1998, the dollar-weighted
average maturity of the fund and the index was approximately
12.0 and 12.9 years, respectively.
FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for
example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a
specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the
relative value of each sector and maturity.
Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a
security's structural features, current price compared to its
estimated long-term value, and any short-term trading
opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit
quality of its issuer.
FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling
futures contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's expos ur e
to changing security prices, interest rates or other factors that
affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended,
the fund may not achieve its objective.
DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high - quality, short-term debt
securities that pay a fixed, variable or floating interest rate.
Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible
investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy
the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market
securities have demand or put features which have the effect of
shortening the security's maturity. Municipal money market securities
include variable rate demand notes, commercial paper and municipal
notes.
DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest,
but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt
securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local
or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or
pre-refunded or escrowed bonds.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
and private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility.
Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local
government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or
anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by
domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters
of credit, guarantees or insurance.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
Many factors affect each fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates
each fund's investments in Connecticut, the fund's performance is
expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions
within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a
more geographically diversified fund.
The money market funds' yields will change daily based on changes in
interest rates and other market conditions. Although each fund is
managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee
that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in
interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of
one of a fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to
decrease. While the funds will be charged premiums by a mutual
insurance company for coverage of specified types of losses related to
default or bankruptcy on certain securities, a fund may incur losses
regardless of the insurance.
The bond fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in
interest rates and market conditions and in response to other
economic, political or financial developments. The fund's reaction to
these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of the
securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition,
industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer,
and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.
The following factors may significantly affect a fund's performance:
MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. Municipal securities can be significantly
affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the
municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the
rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal
securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities,
conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market.
In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual
municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market.
INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt and money market securities have varying
levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the
price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer
maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In
other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the
impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price.
In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term
securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and
long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest
rates.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. E ntities located in foreign countries that
provide credit support or a maturity-shortening structure can involve
increased risks. Extensive public information about the provider may
not be available and unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments could affect the value of the security.
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Connecticut's economy relies in part on
activities affected by cyclical changes, and declines in defense
spending have increased unemployment levels in the state. Despite
average per capita income of Connecticut residents being traditionally
high, certain of Connecticut's largest cities are among the poorest in
the nation.
ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of issuer, and changes in general economic or
political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an
issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than
investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to these changes
than higher-quality debt securities. Entities providing credit support
or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types
of changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated
revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively
affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project
or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from
the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a
municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could become taxable and the security could
decline significantly in value. In addition, if the structure of a
security fails to function as intended, interest from the security
could become taxable or the security could decline in value.
In response to market, economic, political or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's
performance, and a fund may distribute income subject to federal or
Connecticut personal income tax.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES
The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to
change only by shareholder approval.
CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax and, to the extent
possible, from Connecticut personal income tax, as is consistent with
preservation of capital. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the
fund's income distributions will be exempt from federal income tax and
at least 65% of the fund's total assets will be invested in state
tax-free obligations.
SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a
level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and, to the
extent possible, exempt from Connecticut personal income tax, as is
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. The fund will
normally invest so that at least 65% of its total assets are invested
in state tax-free obligations and at least 80% of its income will be
exempt from federal income tax.
SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks a high level of
current income, exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut
personal income tax. The fund will normally invest so that at least
80% of its income is exempt from both federal and Connecticut personal
income taxes.
VALUING SHARES
Each fund i s open for business each day the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open .
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or
as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each
fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing
the fund's NAV.
To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund
is open for business.
Each money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized
cost.
The bond fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of
information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If
market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not
readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that
security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees
believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation
may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

BUYING SHARES
The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's
shares are sold without a sales charge.
Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your
investment is received in proper form.
Short-term or excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm
performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by
increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase
orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or
investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or
excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to
that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading
history in that fund or other Fidelity f unds, and accounts
under common ownership or control.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only
on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity reserves the right to limit the number

(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will
be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or
Fidelity has incurred.

with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed
purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to
follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the following
business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will
be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.

SELLING SHARES
The price to sell one share of Connecticut Municipal Money Market
or Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market is the fund's NAV.
The price to sell one share of Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income is
the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee ( short-term trading
fee ) , if applicable.
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income will deduct a short-term trading
fee of 0.50% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after
holding them less than 180 days. This fee is paid to the fund rather
than Fidelity, and is designed to offset the brokerage commissions,
market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund
asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.
If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest
will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the
short-term trading fee applies. The short-term trading fee does not
apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of
distributions.
Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order
is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if
applicable.
Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to
protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Your request must be made in
writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following
situations apply:
(small solid bullet) You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of
shares;
(small solid bullet) Your account registration has changed within the
last 30 days;
(small solid bullet) The check is being mailed to a different address
than the one on your account (record address);
(small solid bullet) The check is being made payable to someone other
than the account owner; or
(small solid bullet) The redemption proceeds are being transferred to
a Fidelity account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker
(including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if
authorized under state law), securities exchange or association,
clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot
provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
(small solid bullet) If you are selling some but not all of your
Connecticut Municipal Money Market shares, leave at least $2,000 worth
of shares in the account to keep it open, except accounts not subject
to account minimums. If you are selling some but not all of your
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market shares, leave at least
$10,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open, except
accounts not subject to account minimums. If you are selling some
but not all of your Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income shares, leave
at least $5,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open, except
accounts not subject to account minimums.
(small solid bullet) Normally, Fidelity will process redemptions by
the next business day, but Fidelity may take up to seven days to
process redemptions if making immediate payment would adversely affect
a fund.

delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your
redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven
business days after a purchase.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),

it is in the best interests of a fund.

calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity
recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You
should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately

When you sign your ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct

Fidelity may deduct an ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00 from accounts

of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will be valued
on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after
September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will
not be deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts
(except non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular
investment plans, or if total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000.
Eligibility for the $30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating
accounts with Fidelity maintained by Fidelity Service Company, Inc. or
FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or
which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
If your ACCOUNT BALANCE falls below $2,000 for Connecticut
Municipal Money Market, $10,000 for Spartan Connecticut Municipal
Money Market, or $5,000 for Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income
(except accounts not subject to account minimums), you will be given
30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not
increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the
short-term trading fee, if applicable, on the day your account is
closed and, for Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market, the $5.00
account closeout fee will be charged.
The FEES FOR INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS (except the short-term trading
fee) are waived if your account balance at the time of the transaction
is $50,000 or more. Otherwise, you should note the following:
(small solid bullet) The $2.00 checkwriting fee will be deducted from
your account.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 exchange fee will be deducted from the
amount of your exchange.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 wire transaction fee will be deducted

1. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividends
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gains distributions, if any,
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional
shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, call Fidelity.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the
U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution
option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not
receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution
checks.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax
consequences for you.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund seeks to earn income and pay
dividends exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut personal
income tax.
A portion of each fund's income, and the dividends you receive, may be
subject to federal and state income taxes. Each fund's income may be
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Each fund may also
realize taxable income or gains on the sale of municipal bonds and may
make taxable distributions.
For federal tax purposes, each fund's distributions of short-term
capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market
discount are taxable to you as ordinary income. Each fund's
distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you
generally as capital gains.
For Connecticut personal income tax purposes, distributions derived
from municipal securities of Connecticut issuers or most municipal
securities issued by U.S. territories or possessions are exempt.
Distributions that are federally taxable as capital gains are taxable,
except that any distributions of long-term capital gains derived from
municipal securities of Connecticut issuers are generally exempt.
If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized
in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as
a return of capital to shareholders for tax purposes. A return of
capital will generally not be taxable to you, but will reduce the cost
basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a
lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the
full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price
back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be
taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution
option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest
distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you
will receive certain December distributions in January, but those
distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your bond fund redemptions, including
exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and
state tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in
the fund is the difference between the cost of your shares and the
price you receive when you sell them.
FUND SERVICES

FUND MANAGEMENT
Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal.
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is each fund's manager.
As of April 30, 1998 , FMR had approximately $ 529
billion in discretionary assets under management.
As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the funds' investments
and handling their business affairs.
Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), in Merrimack, New
Hampshire, serves as sub-adviser for each fund. FIMM is primarily
responsible for choosing investments for each fund. FIMM is an
affiliate of FMR. As of May 1, 1998, FIMM had approximately $99
billion in discretionary assets under management.
A fund could be adversely affected if the computer systems used by FMR
and other service providers do not properly process and calculate
date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. FMR has
advised each fund that it is actively working on necessary changes to
its computer systems and expects that its systems, and those of other
major service providers, will be modified prior to January 1, 2000.
However, there can be no assurance that there will be no adverse
impact on a fund.
George Fischer is Vice President and manager of Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Income, which he has been managing since May 1996. He also
manages several other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1989,
Mr. Fischer has worked as an analyst and manager.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Each fund pays a management fee to FMR.
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays
all of the other expenses of Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money
Market and Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income with limited
exceptions.
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market and Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Income's annual management fee rate is 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of its average net assets.
For Connecticut Municipal Money Market , the fee is calculated
by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by
twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets
throughout the month.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.
For November 1998 , the group fee rate was 0.1333 % for
Connecticut Municipal Money Market. The individual fund fee rate is
0.25% for Connecticut Municipal Money Market.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998,
was 0.38 % of the fund's average net assets for
Connecticut Municipal Money Market.
FMR pays FIMM for providing assistance with investment advisory
services.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for
management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR
retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the
specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement
arrangements , which may be terminated by FMR at any time, can
decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.
FUND DISTRIBUTION
FDC distributes each fund's shares.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that
FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits
or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses
incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in
the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR,
directly or through FDC, may pay intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized
such payments.
To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives
brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this Prospectus and in the related
Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the funds or FDC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do
not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell or to buy
shares of the funds to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such
offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may
be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.
A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF FIDELITY CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET
FUND
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, the fund
would not comply with any applicable diversification requirements for
a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the
rules thereunder, as such may be amended from time to time;
(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the
insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise
permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(3) sell securities short, unless it owns, or by virtue of ownership
of other securities has the right to obtain, securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short;
(4) purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain
such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions;
(5) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (less
liabilities other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed
33 1/3% of the value of the fund's total assets by reason of a decline
in total assets will be reduced within three days (exclusive of
Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33
1/3% limitation;
(6) underwrite securities issued by others (except to the extent that
the fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities);
(7) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a
U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a
political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more
than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the
securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the
same industry;
(8) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(9) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities; or
(10) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(11) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objectives, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund does not
currently intend to purchase the securities of any issuer (other than
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its
agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other money market
funds) if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund's total assets would
be invested in the securities of that issuer.
(ii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as an investment adviser or (b) by engaging in
reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase
agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental
investment limitation (5)). The fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (7) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of
a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the
issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For purposes of limitation (i), certain securities subject to
guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand
features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are
subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with
industry standard requirements for money market funds.
With respect to limitation (iii), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits
imposed by Subchapter M.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (2)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
with substantially the same fundamental investment objective,
policies, and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the
fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of
any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that
no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities
of any one issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments
in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter
M) and securities of other investment companies. These tax
requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the
fund's taxable year.
For purposes of limitations (4) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of
a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the
issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 43 .
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a fund achieve
its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of purchase
contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing
the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit,
surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security
values may also be affected by other factors including changes in
interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool
and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the
pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities
providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be
subject to prepayment risk.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in
cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase
agreements or shares of money market funds. Generally, these
securities offer less potential for gains than other types of
securities.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS are money market funds managed by FMR or its
affiliates that seek to earn a high level of current income (free from
federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The funds comply with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity and diversification of their investments.
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying the value
of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these
calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's
portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a
stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to
this rule.
For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will
take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call,
refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument
will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be
its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call
an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account
that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the
number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to
be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures
Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options,
Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options
positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction
costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in
options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a
specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price
at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer
and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures
contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury
bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices,
such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index. Futures can be held until
their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid
secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The bond fund has
filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the
term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the bond fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts,
purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than
25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and
options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or
write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon
settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put
options would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call
options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call
options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total
assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or
acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do
not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.
The above limitations on the bond fund's investments in futures
contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures
contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed
as regulatory agencies permit.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility
to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve
greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed
by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation
to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the
other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek
to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out
the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the
secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer
must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on
a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to
an FCM as described above for futures contracts.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may
be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume
of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it
trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics
and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other
credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the
method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the
security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and
obligations of the security).
INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to the
prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial
indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt
securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is
determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed
securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that
depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon
rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points
for every 1% interest rate change.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security or other instrument to which they are
indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments.
Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated
with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline
substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal
funds currently intend to participate in this program only as
borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs
are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund
borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration
of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may
have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund
loan is called or not renewed.
INVERSE FLOATERS have variable interest rates that typically move in
the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term
interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest
rates fall, and vice versa. The prices of inverse floaters can be
considerably more volatile than the prices of bonds with comparable
maturities.
INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Investment-grade debt securities are
medium and high-quality securities. Some may possess speculative
characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes
and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security
is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade
by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., or Fitch IBCA Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities have poor
protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of
principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered
to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of
lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of
higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity
of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.
A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security
holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it
determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. Each money market fund participates in a
mutual insurance company solely with other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. This company provides insurance coverage for losses on
certain money market instruments held by a participating fund
(eligible instruments), including losses from nonpayment of principal
or interest or a bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer or credit
support provider, if any. The insurance does not cover losses
resulting from changes in interest rates or other market developments.
Each money market fund is charged an annual premium for the insurance
coverage and may be subject to a special assessment of up to
approximately two and one-half times the fund's annual gross premium
if covered losses exceed certain levels. A participating fund may
recover no more than $100 million annually, including all other claims
of insured funds, and may only recover if the amount of the loss
exceeds 0.30% of its eligible instruments. Each money market fund may
incur losses regardless of the insurance.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations.
Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust
or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market
funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of
a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance
price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse
tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled
definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured
securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could
adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income
received from these securities or the nature and timing of
distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL INSURANCE. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that
guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of
principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the
issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or
(ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market
insurance).
Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and
scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a
municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a
municipal bond to its maturity, enhancing its credit quality and
value.
Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations
or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond
insurance policy will not cover: ( i) repayment of a municipal
bond before maturity (redemption), ( ii) prepayment or payment
of an acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund
redemption) or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances
the maturity of the bond, or ( iii) nonpayment of principal or
interest caused by negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A
mandatory sinking fund redemption may be a provision of a municipal
bond issue whereby part of the municipal bond issue may be retired
before maturity.
Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and
outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, an
event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a
significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by
that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole.
FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default,
or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds
a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest
payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal
from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection
with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.
PRINCIPAL MUNICIPAL BOND INSURERS. The various insurance companies
providing primary and secondary market insurance policies for
municipal bonds are described below. Ratings reflect each respective
rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of an insurer and
the insurer's ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the
time of the assessment.
Ambac Assurance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial
Group Inc., is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S.
states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Bonds insured by Ambac Assurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's
Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Connie Lee Insurance Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connie Lee
Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Assurance
Corp. All losses incurred by Connie Lee Insurance Co. that would cause
its statutory capital to drop below $75 million would be covered by
Ambac Assurance Corp. Connie Lee Insurance Co. is authorized to
provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia,
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Connie Lee
Insurance Co. are rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. (FGIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
GE Capital Services, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50
U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Bonds insured by FGIC are
rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard &
Poor's.
Financial Security Assurance Inc. (FSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Financial Security Assurance Holdings Ltd., is authorized to provide
bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and three
U.S. territories. Bonds insured by FSA are rated "Aaa" by Moody's
Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corp. (MBIA Insurance Corp.), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc., a publicly-owned company, is
authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds
insured by MBIA Insurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investor
Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the form
of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract
and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to
acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally,
a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the
property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal
obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest
gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation
in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the
issue.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated
with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and
statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must
meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate
limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or
conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the
leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a
means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment
without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for
the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include
"non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has
no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis.
Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance
limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its
obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or
become taxable.
MUNICIPAL MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities
may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to
legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal
securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event
of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income
tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced
before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced
before the Connecticut legislature that would affect the state tax
treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were
enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a
municipal fund's holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers
could produce varying results among the states or among municipal
securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could
affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific
segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular
securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on
the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund,
making it more difficult for a money market fund to maintain a stable
net asset value per share (NAV).
EDUCATION. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds;
those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and
universities, and those representing pooled interests in student
loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are
subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the
result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and
federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or
insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay
tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general
economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered
by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by
pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by
state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the
United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student
loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents
or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit
enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be
applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on
program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student
loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the
rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and
student repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks
associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes
in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state
guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and
other program subsidies currently in effect.
ELECTRIC UTILITIES. The electric utilities industry has been
experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive
pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open
transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not
presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks
include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability
and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand,
(d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and
licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local
regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f)
opposition to nuclear power.
HOUSING. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state,
county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They
generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased
with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to
predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the
proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying
mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed
supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner
repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect
the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable
completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent
levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and
regulations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer
or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange
for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities
with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is
unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers
often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining
letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand
features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a
purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and
yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years
in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the
full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding
contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment
of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its
obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a
letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the
refunding contract.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal restrictions on their sale.
Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to
a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately
negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.
Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security
may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a
considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek
registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under
an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's
yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various
forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of
credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided
by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit or
liquidity enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a
security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a
foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether
adequate public information about the entity is available and whether
the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic
developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that
might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the
credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect
the value of the security or a fund's share price.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS are puts that entitle holders to same-day
settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the
underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of
exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the
liquidity of portfolio securities.
Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third
party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a
third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments
separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities
subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a
higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to
maturity.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or
other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand.
FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining
whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In
evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate
public information about the bank is available and whether the bank
may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments,
currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might
affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.
Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the
ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the
time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments
are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities
of the underlying securities may be different from those of the
commitments.
TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES. Each fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial
amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted
in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.
TENDER OPTION BONDS are created by coupling an intermediate- or
long-term, fixed-rate, municipal bond (generally held pursuant to a
custodial arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder
the option to tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for
providing the tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank,
broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees
equal to the difference between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the
rate (determined by a remarketing or similar agent) that would cause
the bond, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date
of such determination. After payment of the tender option fee, a fund
effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the
prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. In selecting tender option
bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the
underlying bond, the custodian, and the third party provider of the
tender option. In certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender
option if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on
interest payments.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments
in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities
provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
while floating rate securities have interest rates that change
whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate. Some
variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features
that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance
plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial
intermediaries.
In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender
options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put)
the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the
principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this
fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable
rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these
instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third
party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in
trust or otherwise may have similar features.
WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS involve a
commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined
price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the
customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the
purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the
risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security
will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities
is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition
to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains
substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding,
the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a
security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not
participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security.
If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver
or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or
yield opportunity or suffer a loss.
A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may
sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in
capital gains or losses for the fund.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make interest payments; instead, they are
sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of
fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a
fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon
bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CONNECTICUT
Manufacturing has historically been of prime economic importance to
Connecticut (sometimes referred to as the "State"). The State's
manufacturing industry is diversified, with transportation equipment
(primarily aircraft engines, helicopters and submarines) the dominant
industry, followed by non-electrical machinery, fabricated metal
products and electrical equipment. As a result of a rise in employment
in service-related industries and a decline in manufacturing
employment, however, manufacturing accounted for only 17.39% of total
nonagricultural employment in Connecticut in 1996. Defense-related
business represents a relatively high proportion of the manufacturing
sector. On a per capita basis, defense awards to Connecticut have
traditionally been among the highest in the nation, and reductions in
defense spending have had a substantial adverse impact on
Connecticut's economy.
The average annual unemployment rate in Connecticut increased from
a low of 3.0% in 1988 to a high of 7.6% in 1992 and, after a number of
important changes in the method of calculation, was reported to be
5.8% in 1996. Average per capita personal income of Connecticut
residents increased in every year from 1987 to 1996, rising from
$21,592 to $33,875. However, pockets of significant unemployment and
poverty exist in several Connecticut cities and towns.
At the end of the 1990-1991 fiscal year the General Fund had an
accumulated unappropriated deficit of $965,712,000. For the six fiscal
years ended June 30, 1997, the General Fund ran operating surpluses,
based on the State's budgetary method of accounting of approximately
$110,200,000, $113,500,000, $19,700,000, $80,500,000, $250,000,000 and
$262,600,000, respectively. General Fund budgets for the biennium
ending June 30, 1999, were adopted in 1997. General Fund expenditures
and revenues are budgeted to be approximately $9,550,000,000 and
$9,700,000,000 for the 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 fiscal years,
respectively. A surplus for each year is expected even though it is
currently estimated that expenses for each year will exceed budgeted
amounts by approximately $300,000,000.
During 1991, the State issued a total of $965,710,000 Economic
Recovery Notes. The notes were to be payable no later than June 30,
1996, but as part of the budget adopted for the biennium ending June
30, 1997, payment of the notes scheduled to be paid during the
1995-1996 fiscal year was rescheduled to be made over the four fiscal
years ending June 30, 1999. The outstanding notes were $78,055,000 as
of October 1, 1998.
The State's primary method for financing capital projects is
through the sale of general obligation bonds. These bonds are backed
by the full faith and credit of the State. As of October 1, 1998, the
State had authorized direct general obligation bond indebtedness
totaling $12,397,960,000, of which $10,947,625,000 had been approved
for issuance by the State Bond Commission and $9,584,857,000 had been
issued. As of October 1, 1998, net State direct general obligation
indebtedness outstanding was $6,717,837,000.
In 1995, the State established the University of Connecticut as a
separate corporate entity to issue bonds and construct certain
infrastructure improvements. The University is authorized to issue
bonds totaling $962,000,000 to finance the improvements. The
University's bonds will be secured by a State debt service commitment,
the aggregate amount of which is limited to $382,000,000 for bonds
issued in the four fiscal years ending June 30, 1999 and $580,000,000
for bonds issued in the six fiscal years ending June 30, 2005.
In addition, the State has limited or contingent liability on a
significant amount of other bonds. Such bonds have been issued by the
following quasi-public agencies: the Connecticut Housing Finance
Authority, the Connecticut Development Authority, the Connecticut
Higher Education Supplemental Loan Authority, the Connecticut
Resources Recovery Authority and the Connecticut Health and
Educational Facilities Authority. Such bonds have also been issued by
the cities of Bridgeport and West Haven and the Southeastern
Connecticut Water Authority. As of December 1, 1997, the amount of
bonds outstanding on which the State has limited or contingent
liability totaled $4,000,900,000.
In 1984, the State established a program to plan, construct and
improve the State's transportation system (other than Bradley
international Airport). The total cost of the program through June 30,
2002, is currently estimated to be $12.3 billion, to be met from
federal, state, and local funds. The State expects to finance most of
its $5.1 billion share of such cost by issuing $4.6 billion of special
tax obligation ("STO") bonds. The STO bonds are payable solely from
specified motor fuel taxes, motor vehicle receipts, and license,
permit and fee revenues pledged therefor and credited to the Special
Transportation Fund, which was established to budget and account for
such revenues.
The State's general obligation bonds are rated Aa3 by Moody's and
AA by Fitch. On October 8, 1998, Standard & Poor's upgraded its
ratings of the State's general obligation bonds from AA to AA.
The State, its officers and its employees are defendants in
numerous lawsuits. Although it is not possible to determine the
outcome of these lawsuits, the Attorney General has opined that an
adverse decision in any of the following cases might have a
significant impact on the State's financial position: (i) a class
action by the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association
claiming a campaign of illegal surveillance activity and seeking
damages and injunctive relief; (ii) an action on behalf of all persons
with traumatic brain injury who have been placed in certain State
hospitals, and other persons with acquired brain injury who are in the
custody of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services
claiming that their constitutional rights are violated by placement in
State hospitals alleged not be provide adequate treatment and
training, and seeking placement in community residential settings with
appropriate support services; (iii) litigation involving claims by
Indian tribes to a portion of the State's land area; and (iv) an
action by certain students and municipalities claiming that the
State's formula for financing public education violates the State's
Constitution and seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive
relief.
As a result of litigation on behalf of black and Hispanic school
children in the City of Hartford seeking "integrated education" within
the Greater Hartford metropolitan area on July 9, 1996, the State
Supreme Court directed the legislature to develop appropriate measures
to remedy the racial and ethnic segregation in the Hartford public
schools. The Superior Court recently ordered the State to show cause
as to whether there has been compliance with the Supreme Court's
ruling. The fiscal impact of this decision might be significant but is
not determinable at this time.
The State's Department of Information Technology is reviewing the
State's Year 2000 exposure and developing plans for modification or
replacement of existing software that it believes will prevent
significant operations problems. There is a risk that the plan will
not be completed on time, that planned testing will not reveal all
problems, or that systems of others on whom the State relies will not
be timely updated. If the necessary remediations are not completed in
a timely fashion, the Year 2000 problem may have a material impact on
the operations of the State.
General obligation bonds issued by municipalities are payable
primarily from ad valorem taxes on property located in the
municipality. A municipality's property tax base is subject to many
factors outside the control of the municipality, including the decline
in Connecticut's manufacturing industry. Certain Connecticut
municipalities have experienced severe fiscal difficulties and have
reported operating and accumulated deficits. The most notable of these
is the city of Bridgeport, which filed a bankruptcy petition on June
7, 1991. The State opposed the petition. The United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Connecticut held that Bridgeport has
authority to file such a petition but that its petition should be
dismissed on the grounds that Bridgeport was not insolvent when the
petition was filed. State legislation enacted in 1993 prohibits
municipal bankruptcy filings without the prior written consent of the
Governor.
In addition to general obligation bonds backed by the full faith
and credit of the municipality, certain municipal authorities finance
projects by issuing bonds that are not considered to be debts of the
municipality. Such bonds may be repaid only from revenues of the
financed project, the revenues from which may be insufficient to
service the related debt obligations.
Regional economic difficulties, reductions in revenues and
increases in expenses could lead to further fiscal problems for the
State and its political subdivisions, authorities and agencies.
Difficulties in payment of debt service on borrowings could result in
declines, possibly severe, in the value of their outstanding
obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment
of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO
The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends
and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the
"Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn
from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities
offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, as
available on the date of this SAI. FMR has not independently verified
any of the information contained in such official statements,
prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware
of any fact that would render such information materially inaccurate.
The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United
States. In fiscal 1997, trade with the United States accounted for
approximately 88% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 62% of
its imports. In this regard, in fiscal 1997 Puerto Rico experienced a
$2.7 billion positive adjusted merchandise trade balance.
Since fiscal 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has
increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal 1997, aggregate
personal income was $32.1 billion ($30.0 billion in 1992 prices) and
personal per capita income was $8,509 ($7,957 in 1992 prices). Gross
product in fiscal 1993 was $25.1 billion ($24.5 billion in 1992
prices) and gross product in fiscal 1997 was $32.1 billion ($27.7
billion in 1992 prices). This represents an increase in gross product
of 27.7% from fiscal 1993 to 1997 (13.0% in 1992 prices).
Puerto Rico's economic expansion, which has lasted over ten years,
continued throughout the five-year period from fiscal 1993 through
fiscal 1997. Almost every sector of the economy participated, and
record levels of employment were achieved. Factors behind the
continued expansion included Government-sponsored economic development
programs, periodic declines in the exchange value of the U.S. dollar,
increases in the level of federal transfers, and the relatively low
cost of borrowing funds during the period.
Average employment increased from 999,000 in fiscal 1993 to 1,128,300
in fiscal 1997. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical
levels, remains above the U.S. average. Average unemployment decreased
from 16.8% in fiscal 1993 to 13.1% in fiscal 1997.
Manufacturing is the largest sector in the economy accounting for
$19.8 billion or 41.2% of gross domestic product in fiscal 1997. The
manufacturing sector employed 153,273 workers as of March 1997.
Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during
earlier phases of industrial development. In the last two decades
industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and
dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift is best exemplified by
heavy investment in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments,
computers, microprocessors, and electrical products over the last
decade. The service sector, which includes wholesale and retail trade
and finance, insurance, real estate, hotels and related services, and
other services, ranks second in its contribution to gross domestic
product and is the sector that employs the greatest number of people.
In fiscal 1997, the service sector generated $18.4 billion in gross
domestic product or 38.2% of the total. Employment in this sector grew
from 467,000 in fiscal 1993 to 551,000 in fiscal 1997, a cumulative
increase of 17.8%. This increase was greater than the 12.9% cumulative
growth in employment over the same period providing 48% of total
employment. The Government sector of the Commonwealth plays an
important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 1997, the
Government accounted for $5.2 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic
product and provided 10.9% of the total employment. The construction
industry has experienced real growth since fiscal 1987. In fiscal
1997, investment in construction rose to $4.7 billion, an increase of
14.7% as compared to $4.1 billion for fiscal 1996. Tourism also
contributes significantly to the island economy, accounting for $2.0
billion of gross domestic product in fiscal 1997.
The present administration has developed and is implementing a new
economic development program which is based on the premise that the
private sector should provide the primary impetus for economic
development and growth. This new program, which is referred to as the
New Economic Model, promotes changing the role of the Government from
one of being a provider of most basic services to that of a
facilitator for private sector initiatives and encourages private
sector investment by reducing Government-imposed regulatory
restraints.
The New Economic Model contemplates the development of initiatives
that will foster private investment in, and private management of,
sectors that are served more efficiently and effectively by the
private enterprise. One of these initiatives has been the adoption of
a new tax code intended to expand the tax base, reduce top personal
and corporate tax rates, and simplify the tax system. Another
initiative is the improvement and expansion of Puerto Rico's
infrastructure to facilitate private sector development and growth,
such as the construction of the water pipeline and cogeneration
facilities described below and the construction of a light rail system
for the San Juan metropolitan area.
The New Economic Model also seeks to identify and promote areas in
which Puerto Rico can compete more effectively in the global markets.
Tourism has been identified as one such area because of its potential
for job creation and contribution to the gross product. In 1993, a new
Tourism Incentives Act and a Tourism Development Fund were implemented
in order to provide special tax incentives and financing for the
development of new hotel projects and the tourism industry. As a
result of these initiatives, new hotels have been constructed or are
under construction which have increased the number of hotel rooms on
the island from 8,415 in fiscal 1992 to 10,877 at the end of fiscal
1997 and to a projected 11,972 by the end of fiscal 1998.
The New Economic Model also seeks to reduce the size of the
Government's direct contribution to gross domestic product. As part of
this goal, the Government has transferred certain Governmental
operations and sold a number of its assets to private parties. Among
these are: (i) the Government sold the assets of the Puerto Rico
Maritime Authority; (ii) the Government executed a five-year
management agreement for the operation and management of the Aqueducts
and Sewer Authority by a private company; (iii) the Aqueducts and
Sewer Authority executed a construction and operating agreement with a
private consortium for the design, construction, and operation of an
approximately 75 million gallon per day water pipeline to the San Juan
metropolitan area from the Dos Bocas reservoir in Utuado; (iv) the
Electric Power Authority executed power purchase contracts with
private power producers under which two cogeneration plants (with a
total capacity of 800 megawatts) will be constructed; (v) the
Corrections Administration entered into operating agreements with two
private companies for the operation of three new correctional
facilities; (vi) the Government entered into a definitive agreement to
sell certain assets of a pineapple juice processing business and sold
certain mango growing operations; (vii) the Government is in the
process of transferring to local sugar cane growers certain sugar
processing facilities; (viii) the Government sold two hotel properties
and is currently negotiating the sale of a complex consisting of two
hotels and a convention center; and (ix) the Government has announced
its intention to sell the Puerto Rico Telephone Company and is
currently involved in the sale process.
One of the goals of the Rossello administration is to change Puerto
Rico's public health care system from one in which the Government
provides free health services to low income individuals through public
health facilities owned and administered by the Government to one in
which all medical services are provided by the private sector and the
Government provides comprehensive health insurance coverage for
qualifying (generally low income) Puerto Rico residents. Under this
new system, the Government selects, through a bidding system, one
private health insurance company in each of several designated regions
of the island and pays such insurance company the insurance premium
for each eligible beneficiary within such region. This new health
insurance system is now covering 61 municipalities out of a total of
78 on the island. It is expected that 11 municipalities will be added
by the end of fiscal 1998 and 5 more by the end of fiscal 1999. The
total cost of this program will depend on the number of municipalities
included in the program, the number of participants receiving
coverage, and the date coverage commences. As of December 31, 1997,
over 1.1 million persons were participating in the program at an
estimated annual cost to Puerto Rico for fiscal 1998 of approximately
$672 million. In conjunction with this program, the operation of
certain public health facilities has been transferred to private
entities. The Government's current privatization plan for health
facilities provides for the transfer of ownership of all health
facilities to private entities. The Government sold six health
facilities to private companies and is currently in negotiations with
other private companies for the sale of thirteen health facilities to
such companies.
One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing
sector in Puerto Rico has been the federal and Commonwealth tax
incentives available, particularly those under the Puerto Rico
Industrial Incentives Program and Sections 30A and 936 of the Internal
Revenue Code 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Since 1948, Puerto Rico has promulgated various industrial incentives
laws designed to stimulate industrial investment. Under these laws,
companies engaged in manufacturing and certain other designated
activities were eligible to receive full or partial exemption from
income, property, and other taxes. The most recent of these laws is
Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997 (the "1998 Tax Incentives Law").
The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Law are available to
new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt
operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing
tax exemption grant. Activities eligible for tax exemption include
manufacturing, certain services performed for markets outside Puerto
Rico, the production of energy from local renewable sources for
consumption in Puerto Rico, and laboratories for scientific and
industrial research. For companies qualifying thereunder, the 1998 Tax
Incentives Law imposes income tax rates ranging from 2% to 7%. In
addition, it grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption
from municipal license taxes during the first eighteen months of
operation and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from
municipal excise taxes. The 1998 Tax Incentives Law also provides
various special deductions designated to stimulate employment and
productivity, research and development, and capital investment in
Puerto Rico.
Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Law, companies are able to repatriate or
distribute their profits free of tollgate taxes. In addition, passive
income derived from designated investments will continue to be fully
exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual
shareholders of an exempted business will be allowed a credit against
their Puerto Rico income taxes equal to 30% of their proportionate
share in the exempted business' income tax liability. Gain from the
sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders
during the exemption period will be subject to a 4% income tax rate.
For many years, U.S. companies operating in Puerto Rico enjoyed a
special tax credit that was available under Section 936 of the Code.
Originally, the credit provided an effective 100% federal tax
exemption for operating and qualifying investment income from Puerto
Rico sources. Amendments to Section 936 made in 1993 (the "1993
Amendments") instituted two alternative methods for calculating the
tax credit and limited the amount of the credit that a qualifying
company could claim. These limitations are based on a percentage of
qualifying income (the "percentage of income limitation") and on
qualifying expenditures on wages and other wage related benefits (the
"economic activity limitation", also known as the "wage credit
limitation"). As a result of amendments incorporated in the Small
Business Job Protection Act of 1996 enacted by the U.S. Congress and
signed into law by President Clinton on August 20, 1996 (the "1996
Amendments"), the tax credit, as described below, is now being phased
out over a ten-year period for existing claimants and is no longer
available for corporations that established operations in Puerto Rico
after October 13, 1995 (including existing Section 936 Corporations
(as defined below) to the extent substantially new operations are
established in Puerto Rico). The 1996 Amendments also moved the credit
based on the economic activity limitation to Section 30A of the Code
and phased it out over 10 years. In addition, the 1996 Amendments
eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from
certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. The Section 30A credit
and the remaining Section 936 credit are discussed below.
SECTION 30A. The 1996 Amendments added a new Section 30A to the Code.
Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that
meets certain gross income tests (which are similar to the 80% and 75%
gross income tests of Section 936 of the Code discussed below) to
claim a credit (the "Section 30A credit") against the federal income
tax imposed on taxable income derived from sources outside the United
States from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico
or from the sale of substantially all the assets used in such business
("possession income").
A QDC is a U.S. corporation which (i) was actively conducting a trade
or business in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, (ii) had a Section 936
election in effect for its taxable year that included October 13,
1995, (iii) does not have in effect an election to use the percentage
limitation of Section 936(a)(4)(B) of the Code, and (iv) does not add
a "substantial new line of business."
The Section 30A credit is limited to the sum of (i) 60% of qualified
possession wages as defined in the Code, which includes wages up to
85% of the maximum earnings subject to the OASDI portion of Social
Security taxes plus an allowance for fringe benefits of 15% of
qualified possession wages, (ii) a specified percentage of
depreciation deductions ranging between 15% and 65%, based on the
class life of tangible property, and (iii) a portion of Puerto Rico
income taxes paid by the QDC, up to a 9% effective tax rate (but only
if the QDC does not elect the profit-split method for allocating
income from intangible property).
A QDC electing Section 30A of the Code may compute the amount of its
active business income, eligible for the Section 30A Credit, by using
either the cost sharing formula, the profit-split formula, or the
cost-plus formula, under the same rules and guidelines prescribed for
such formulas as provided under Section 936 (see discussion below). To
be eligible for the first two formulas, the QDC must have a
significant presence in Puerto Rico.
In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the
amount of possession income that would qualify for the Section 30A
credit would be subject to a cap based on the QDC's possession income
for an average adjusted base period ending before October 14, 1995.
Section 30A applies only to taxable years beginning after December 31,
1995 and before January 1, 2006.
SECTION 936. Under Section 936 of the Code, as amended by the 1996
Amendments, and as an alternative to the Section 30A credit, U.S.
corporations that meet certain requirements and elect its application
("Section 936 Corporations") are entitled to credit against their U.S.
corporate income tax, the portion of such tax attributable to income
derived from the active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto
Rico ("active business income") and from the sale or exchange of
substantially all assets used in the active conduct of such trade or
business. To qualify under Section 936 in any given taxable year, a
corporation must derive for the three-year period immediately
preceding the end of such taxable year (i) 80% or more of its gross
income from sources within Puerto Rico and (ii) 75% or more of its
gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto
Rico.
Under Section 936, a Section 936 Corporation may elect to compute its
active business income, eligible for the Section 936 credit, under one
of three formulas: (A) a cost-sharing formula, whereby it is allowed
to claim all profits attributable to manufacturing intangibles, and
other functions carried out in Puerto Rico, provided it contributes to
the research and development expenses of its affiliated group or pays
certain royalties; (B) a profit-split formula, whereby it is allowed
to claim 50% of the net income of its affiliated group from the sale
of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; or (C) a cost-plus formula,
whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the
manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. To be eligible for the
first two formulas, the Section 936 Corporation must have a
significant business presence in Puerto Rico for purposes of the
Section 936 rules.
As a result of the 1993 Amendments and the 1996 Amendments, the
Section 936 credit is only available to companies that elect the
percentage of income limitation and is limited in amount to 40% of the
credit allowable prior to the 1993 Amendments, subject to a five-year
phase-in period from 1994 to 1998 during which period the percentage
of the allowable credit is reduced from 60% to 40%.
In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the
possession income subject to the Section 936 credit will be subject to
a cap based on the Section 936 Corporation's possession income for an
average adjusted base period ending on October 14, 1995. The Section
936 credit is eliminated for taxable years beginning in 2006.
PROPOSAL TO EXTEND THE PHASEOUT OF SECTION 30A. During 1997, the
Government of Puerto Rico proposed to Congress the enactment of a new
permanent federal incentive program similar to that provided under
Section 30A. Such a program would provide U.S. companies a tax credit
based on qualifying wages paid and other wage-related expenses, such
as fringe benefits, as well as depreciation expenses for certain
tangible assets and research and development expenses. Under the
Governor's proposal, the credit granted to qualifying companies would
continue in effect until Puerto Rico shows, among other things,
substantial economic improvements in terms of certain economic
parameters. The fiscal 1998 budget submitted by President Clinton to
Congress in February 1997 included a proposal to modify Section 30A to
(i) extend the availability of the Section 30A credit indefinitely;
(ii) make it available to companies establishing operations in Puerto
Rico after October 13, 1995; and (iii) eliminate the income cap.
Although this proposal, was not included in the final fiscal 1998
federal budget, President Clinton's fiscal 1999 budget submitted to
Congress again included these modifications to Section 30A. While the
Government of Puerto Rico plans to continue lobbying for this
proposal, it is not possible at this time to predict whether the
Section 30A credit will be so modified.
OUTLOOK. It is not possible at this time to determine the long-term
effect on the Puerto Rico economy of the enactment of the 1996
Amendments. The Government of Puerto Rico does not believe there will
be short-term or medium-term material adverse effects on Puerto Rico's
economy as a result of the enactment of the 1996 Amendments. The
Government of Puerto Rico further believes that during the phase-out
period sufficient time exists to implement additional incentive
programs to safeguard Puerto Rico's competitive position.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness
of any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of
fund expenses.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice concerning the
value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or
selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of investment accounts; and effect securities transactions
and perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, a
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause a fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR
must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided
by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a particular
transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund or its
other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not attempt to
place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research services
provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should be
related to those services.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, FMR is authorized to
allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account
assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or
other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and
other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may use research
services provided by and place agency transactions with National
Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for investment accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless
certain requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal periods ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, the portfolio
turnover rates were 8 % and 12 %, respectively, for
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income.
For the fiscal years ended November 1998, 1997, and 1996, the
fund s paid no brokerage commissions.
The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the funds could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
each fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those
of other funds managed by FMR or investment accounts managed by FMR
affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the
portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or investment account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its
liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares
outstanding.
TAX-FREE BOND FUND. Portfolio securities are valued by various
methods. If quotations are not available, fixed-income securities are
usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing
service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both
dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques.
Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A
number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various
pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment
companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value
of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more
accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example,
securities and other assets for which there is no readily available
market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the
value of a security, the committee may review price movements in
futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and
trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange
institutional trading.
MONEY MARKET FUNDS. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued
on the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially
valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value.
The amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than
the price a fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their
respective NAVs.
At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the
extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would
deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost
valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from a fund's
amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other
unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such
corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or
reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair
results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming
shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations;
and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
A fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The share price of a bond
fund, the yield of a fund, and return fluctuate in response to market
conditions and other factors, and the value of a bond fund's shares
when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS (MONEY MARKET FUNDS). To compute the yield for a
money market fund for a period, the net change in value of a
hypothetical account containing one share reflects the value of
additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at
the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base
period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. A
money market fund also may calculate an effective yield by compounding
the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to the
current yield, a money market fund may quote yields in advertising
based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for a money market
fund are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by applicable regulation.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a fund's performance and
in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, a fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
a fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market
rates, and in periods of rising interest rates a fund's yield will
tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the
inflow of net new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its
shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields
than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing a fund's
current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can
be expected to occur.
YIELD CALCULATIONS (BOND FUND). Yields for the fund are computed by
dividing the fund's interest and income for a given 30-day or
one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares
entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this
figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the
result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an
annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflect the fund's short-term
trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds
trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of
the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with
respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. Capital gains and losses generally are
excluded from the calculation.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield
may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account,
or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.
In calculating the fund's yield, the fund may from time to time use a
portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in
order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will
have the effect of reducing the fund's yield.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's
performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates,
unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period
of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also
note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of
respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing
market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling,
the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of
its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower
yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the
fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be expected to occur.
The tax-equivalent yield of a fund is the rate an investor would have
to earn from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal a fund's
tax-free yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing a
fund's yield by the result of one minus a specified combined federal
and state income tax rate. If only a portion of a fund's yield is
tax-exempt, only that portion is adjusted in the calculation.
The following tables show the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal and state income tax laws for 1999. The
second table shows the approximate yield a taxable security must
provide at various income brackets to produce after-tax yields
equivalent to those of hypothetical tax-exempt obligations yielding
from 2% to 7 %. Of course, no assurance can be given that a fund
will achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While a fund
invest s principally in obligations whose interest is exempt
from federal and state income tax, other income received by the funds
may be taxable. The tables do not take into account local taxes, if
any, payable on fund distributions.
Use the first table to find your approximate effective tax bracket
taking into account federal and state taxes for 1999.

* This amount represents taxable income as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code. It is assumed that taxable income as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code is the same as under the Connecticut Personal
Income Tax law, however, Connecticut taxable income may differ due to
differences in exemptions, itemized deductions, and other items.
** The Connecticut credits have not been included in the
calculation of the states rates. A credit between 1% and 75% is
automatically allowed for single taxpayers with a CT adjusted gross
income ranging from $12,000 to $52,500. A credit between 1% and 75% is
automatically allowed for married filing joint taxpayers with CT
adjusted gross income ranging from $24,000 to $100,500
*** For federal tax purposes, these combined rates reflect the
applicable marginal rates for 1999, including indexing for inflation.
These rates include the effect of deducting state taxes on your
Federal return.
Having determined your effective tax bracket, use the following table
to determine the tax-equivalent yield for a given tax-free yield.

federal and state effective
tax rate in 1999 is:

17.55% 18.83% 31.24% 34.11% 38.88% 42.32%

To match these tax-free yields: Your taxable investment would

</TABLE>

A fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to state or federal income taxes. When a fund invests in these
obligations, its tax-equivalent yield will be lower. In the table
above, the tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments
are 100% federally and state tax-free.
RETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects
of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and
capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's NAV over a
stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a
stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in a fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of
100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%,
which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth
on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a
convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors
should realize that a fund's performance is not constant over time,
but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns
represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of a fund.
In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged
or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns
may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital
gains and changes in share price) in order to illustrate the
relationship of these factors and their contributions to return.
Returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis. Returns may
or may not include the effect of the account closeout fee or the small
account fee. Excluding a fund's small account fee or account closeout
fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure.
Returns, yields, and other performance information may be quoted
numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the bond fund's NAVs,
adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by
the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless
otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted
for sales charges, if any.

common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial
companies, respectively, over the same period. Because each fund
invests in fixed-income securities, common stocks represent a
different type of investment from the funds. Common stocks generally
offer greater growth potential than the funds, but generally
experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for
loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than
fixed-income investments such as the funds. The S&P 500 and DJIA
returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and,
unlike each fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage
commissions or other costs of investing.
The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical
$10,000 investment in each fund during the 10-year period ended
November 30, 1998 or life of each fund, as applicable, assuming
all distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results
and are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of
different investments have not been factored into the figures below.
During the period from August 29, 1989 (commencement of operations)
to November 30, 1998, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Connecticut
Municipal Money Market would have grown to $13,556.

</TABLE>

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Income on December 1, 19 88 , the net
amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial
investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested
dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their
cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $19,453. If
distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions
earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash
payments for the period would have amounted to $ 6,185 for
dividends and $ 592 for capital gain distributions. The
figures in the table do not include the effect of the fund's 0.50%
short-term trading fee applicable to shares held less than 180 days.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take
sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance
may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund
performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When
comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and
return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while
stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry
the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market
funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not
offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, a fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising. The bond fund may advertise risk
ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating
agencies.
A fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of all dividends
and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike a
fund's returns, however, the index returns do not reflect brokerage
commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in
the securities included in the index(es).
The municipal bond fund may compare its performance to the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a market value -weighted index
of investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year
or more. Issues included in the index have been issued after
December 31, 1990 and have an outstanding par value of at least $50
million. Subsequent to December 31, 1995, zero coupon bonds and issues
subject to the alternative minimum tax are included in the index.
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income may compare its performance to
that of the Lehman Brothers Connecticut 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal
Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of Connecticut
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of four years or
more. Issues included in the index have been issued as part of an
offering of at least $20 million, have an outstanding par value of at
least $2 million, and have been issued after December 31, 1990.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions.
Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For
example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential
returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee your principal or your
return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the
same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to
that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made
available in the future.
Each money market fund may compare its performance or the
performance of securities in which it may invest to averages published
by IBC Financial Data, Inc. of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages
assume reinvestment of distributions. IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT
AVERAGES(trademark)/All Tax-Free, which is reported in IBC's MONEY
FUND REPORT(trademark), covers over 448 tax-free money market
funds.
The bond fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative
advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual
municipal bond. Unlike municipal bond mutual funds, individual
municipal bonds offer a stated rate of interest and, if held to
maturity, repayment of principal. Although some individual municipal
bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer the reduced risk
of a mutual fund that invests in many different securities. The sales
charges of many municipal bond mutual funds are lower than the
purchase cost of individual municipal bonds, which are generally
subject to direct brokerage costs.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. A bond fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data. In advertising, a bond fund may also discuss or illustrate
examples of interest rate sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate price movements over specific periods of
time for a bond fund. Each point on the momentum indicator represents
the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
A bond fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic
investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In
such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
As of November 30, 1998, FMR advised over $ 33 billion in
municipal fund assets, $ 118 billion in taxable fixed-income fund
assets, $122 billion in money market fund assets, $465 billion in
equity fund assets, $13 billion in i nternational fund assets, and
$ 28 billion in Spartan fund assets. The funds may reference the
growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's
innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under
management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets
under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United
States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR,
its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as
federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund are
also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are taxable as
dividends, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.
Each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR believes
is free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other parties
have entered into covenants requiring continuing compliance with
federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest
payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants
are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the
issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest
payments from a security could become federally taxable retroactive to
the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured
securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may
also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.
Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although the interest continues
to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest
from private activity securities will be considered tax-exempt for
purposes of Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market's and Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Income's policies of investing so that at least
80% of each fund's income is free from federal income tax and
Connecticut Municipal Money Market's policy of investing so that at
least 80% of its income distributions is free from federal
income tax. Interest from private activity securities is a tax
preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is
subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.
A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount
after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income,
not as capital gains. Dividends resulting from a recharacterization of
gain from the sale of bonds purchased at market discount after April
30, 1993 are not considered income for purposes of Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Money Market's and Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income's
policy of investing so that at least 80% of each fund's income is free
from federal income tax and Connecticut Municipal Money Market's
policy of investing so that at least 80% of its income distributions
is free from federal income tax.
CONNECTICUT TAXES. Dividends paid by a fund are not subject to the
Connecticut personal income tax on individuals, trusts and estates, to
the extent that they are designated as federally tax-exempt interest
and are derived from securities issued by or on behalf of the State of
Connecticut or its political subdivisions, instrumentalities,
authorities, districts, or similar public entities created under
Connecticut law ("Connecticut Securities") or securities the interest
on which states are prohibited from taxing by federal law. Other fund
dividends and distributions, whether received in cash or additional
shares, are subject to this tax, except that capital gains
distributions to a shareholder whose shares of the fund are held as a
capital asset are not subject to the tax to the extent they are
derived from Connecticut Securities. Dividends and distributions paid
by a fund that constitute items of tax preference for purposes of the
federal alternative minimum tax, other than any designated as
federally tax-exempt interest that are not subject to the Connecticut
personal income tax, could cause liability for the net Connecticut
minimum tax, applicable to investors subject to the Connecticut
personal income tax who are required to pay the federal alternative
minimum tax.
Dividends paid by a fund, including those that are designated as
federally tax-exempt interest, are taxable for purposes of the
Connecticut corporation business tax. However, 70% (100% if the
shareholder owns at least 20% of the total voting power and value of
the fund's shares) of amounts that are treated as dividends and not as
exempt-interest dividends or capital gain dividends for federal income
tax purposes are deductible for purposes of this tax, but no deduction
is allowed for expenses related thereto.
CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund's long-term capital
gains distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally
as capital gains. Each money market fund may distribute any net
realized capital gains once a year or more often, as necessary.
As of November 30 , 199 8 , Connecticut Municipal Money
Market had a capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately
$ 37,000 . This loss carryforward, of which $ 8,000 ,
$ 3,000, $7,000 and $1 9,000 will expire on November
30 , 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006, respectively, is
available to offset future capital gains.
As of November 30, 1998, Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market
had a capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately $12,000.
This loss carryforward, of which $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 will expire
on November 30, 2002, 2005 and 2006, respectively, is available to
offset future capital gains.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions or upon the sale or other disposition of their
shares, and shares may be subject to death taxes and state
and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax
advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular
tax situation.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of
the trust s are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each
fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders.

* Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 199 8
for 23 7 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the funds and Mr. Burkhead are compensated
by FMR.
A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred,
and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the
calendar year ended December 31, 199 8 , the Trustees accrued
required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: Ralph F.
Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$ 75,0 00; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000;
William O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L.
Mann, $75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $5 5,039 ;
William O. McCoy, $55,039; Marvin L. Mann, $5 5,03 9; and
Thomas R. Williams, $6 3,433 .
B Compensation figures include cash .
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.
As of November 30, 1998 , the Trustees, Members of the Advisory
Board, and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than
1 % of each fund's total outstanding shares.
As o f November 30, 1998, th e following owned of record or
beneficially 5% or more (up to and including 25%) of Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Money Market 's outstanding shares: Graham
Capital Management, Stamford, Connecticut (5.81%).
CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS
FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR
and FIMM. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all
employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
For example, all personal trades in most securities require
pre-clearance, and participation in initial public offerings is
prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the timing of personal
investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term
trading have been adopted.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to
which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of
each fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical
and investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the
registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES (CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET). In
addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent,
and pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund pays all of its
expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the
typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to
shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor
and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further
provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and
reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's
transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid
by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES (SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY
MARKET AND SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL INCOME). Under the terms of
its management contract with each fund, FMR is responsible for payment
of all operating expenses of each fund with certain exceptions.
Specific expenses payable by FMR include expenses for typesetting,
printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses,
fees of the custodian, auditor and interested Trustees, each fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. Each fund's management contract further provides that FMR will
pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of
additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however,
under the terms of each fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer
agent bears the costs of providing these services to existing
shareholders. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent,
dividend disbursing, and shareholder services, and pricing and
bookkeeping services.
FMR pays all other expenses of Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money
Market and Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income with the following
exceptions: fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees,
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), and such nonrecurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a
fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEES. For the services of FMR under each management
contract, Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market and Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Income each pays FMR a monthly management fee at
the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, of the fund's
average net assets throughout the month.
The management fee paid to FMR by Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money
Market and Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income is reduced by an
amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the
non-interested Trustees.
For the services of FMR under the management contract, Connecticut
Municipal Money Market pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two
components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $ 643 billion of group net assets - the
approximate level for November 1998 - was 0.1333 %, which
is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of
group net assets up to $ 643 billion.
The individual fund fee rate for Connecticut Municipal Money Market is
0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by
FMR for November 1998, the fund's annual management fee rate would be
calculated as follows:

Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate

CT Muni Money Market 0.1333% + 0.25% = 0.3833%

non-interested Trustees.
During the reporting period, FMR voluntarily modified the breakpoints
in the group fee rate schedule on January 1, 1996 to provide for lower
management fee rates as FMR's assets under management increase.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
a fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses) which is subject to revision
or termination. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense
reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior
to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a fund's returns and
yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a fund will lower its
returns and yield.
SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM
pursuant to which FIMM has primary responsibility for choosing
investments for the funds. Previously, FMR Texas Inc. (FMR Texas) had
primary responsibility for providing investment management services to
the money market funds. On January 23, 1998, FMR Texas was
merged into FIMM, which succeeded to the operations of FMR Texas.
Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, FMR pays FIMM fees
equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management
contract with each fund. The fees paid to FIMM are not reduced by any
voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect
from time to time.
Fees paid to FMR Texas by FMR on behalf of Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Money Market and Connecticut Municipal Money Market for the
past three fiscal years are shown in the table below.

1996 $ 451,818

</TABLE>

On behalf of Connecticut Municipal Money Market and Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Money Market , for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1998, FMR paid FIMM fees of $ 734,045 and
$ 376,535 , respectively.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements
call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses
in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the funds of distribution expenses.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares.
FMR made no payments either directly or through FDC to intermediaries
for the fiscal year ended 1998.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other
than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To
the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling, or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the funds might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments

entered into sub-transfer agent agreements with FSC, an affiliate of
FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FSC performs all
processing activities associated with providing these services for
each fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to UMB.
For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in a fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts,
these fees are based on account size and fund type. For certain
institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type.
For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are
based on account type and fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.

program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and each Fidelity Freedom
Fund, a fund of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the
percentage of the QSTP's or Freedom Fund's assets that is invested in
a fund.
FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
Each fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with UMB.
Under the terms of the agreements, UMB provides pricing and
bookkeeping services for each fund. UMB in turn has entered into
sub-service agent agreements with FSC. Under the terms of the
sub-agreements, FSC performs all processing activities associated with
providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends
for each fund and maintaining each fund's portfolio and general
accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping
fees paid to UMB.
For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a
monthly fee based on each fund's average daily net assets throughout
the month.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income Fund is a
fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 21, 1977.
Currently, there are four funds in Fidelity Court Street Trust:
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income Fund, Spartan Municipal Income
Fund, Spartan Florida Municipal Income Fund, and Spartan New Jersey
Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional
funds in the trust.
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund and Fidelity
Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund are funds of Fidelity Court
Street Trust II, an open-end management investment company organized
as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. Currently, there are
five funds of Fidelity Court Street Trust II: Fidelity Connecticut
Municipal Money Market Fund, Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money
Market Fund, Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund ,
Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market Fund, and Fidelity New Jersey
Municipal Money Market Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create
additional funds in the trust.
The assets of the Massachusetts trust received for the issue or sale
of shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund in the Massachusetts trust shall be
charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund.
Any general expenses of the Massachusetts trust shall be allocated
between or among any one or more of its funds.
The assets of the Delaware trust received for the issue or sale of
shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund in the Delaware trust shall be charged
with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any
general expenses of the Delaware trust shall be allocated between or
among any one or more of its funds.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. The Massachusetts
trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachus etts business
trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the
obligations of the trust.
The Declaration of Trust provides that the Massachusetts trust shall
not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the
purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation,
or instrument entered into or executed by the Massachusetts trust or
its Trustees relating to the trust shall include a provision limiting
the obligations created thereby to the Massachusetts trust and its
assets.
The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each
fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of
his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his
or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY - DELAWARE TRUST. The Delaware trust is a
business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides
that shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations
for profit. The courts of some states, however, may decline to apply
Delaware law on this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities,
obligations, and expenses of the Delaware trust. The Trust Instrument
provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires
that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or
executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a
fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets.
The Trust Instrument further provides that shareholders of a fund
shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any
other fund.
The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's
property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally
liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her
being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts
or omissions or for some other reason. The Trust Instrument also
provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no
contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and a fund is
unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the
above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely
remote.
VOTING RIGHTS - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. Each fund's capital consists
of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are
entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The
voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder
vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.
The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by a vote of
shareholders of the trust or the fund. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are
entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for
distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a
fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to receive the underlying
assets of the fund available for distribution.
VOTING RIGHTS - DELAWARE TRUST. Each fund's capital consists of shares
of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote
for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of
shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be
voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.
The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally
such terminations must be approved by a vote of shareholders. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of
each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of
such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of a fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to
receive the underlying assets of the fund available for distribution.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder
vote, in order to change the form of organization of the trust cause
the trust to merge or consolidate with one or more trusts,
partnerships, associations, limited liability companies or
corporations, as long as the surviving entity is an open-end
management investment company, or is a fund thereof, that will succeed
to or assume the trust's registration statement, or cause the trust to
incorporate under Delaware law.
CUSTODIAN. UMB Bank, n.a., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri,
is custodian of the assets of the funds. The custodian is responsible
for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any
subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and members
of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain
funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts serves as the trusts' independent
accountant. The auditor examines financial statements for the funds
and provides other audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1998, and report(s) of the auditor, are
included in each fund's Annual Report and are incorporated herein by
reference.

FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high
a level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and the New
Jersey Gross Income Tax, as is consistent with preservation of
capital.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment
strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in municipal money market
securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of fund's
income is exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross
Income Tax.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Investing in compliance with industry-standard
requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and
diversification of investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment
risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The
municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by
adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial
condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate
increases can cause the price of a money market security to
decrease.
(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Entities located in
foreign countries can be affected by adverse political, regulatory,
market or economic developments in those countries.
(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Unfavorable
political or economic conditions within New Jersey can affect the
credit quality of issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. A decline in
the credit quality of an issuer or the provider of credit support or a
maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a
money market security to decrease.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the fund.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks
as high a level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and,
to the extent possible, from the New Jersey Gross Income Tax, as is
consistent with the preservation of capital.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR's principal investment strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in municipal money market
securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing at least 65% of total assets in
municipal securities whose interest is exempt from the New Jersey
Gross Income Tax.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of fund's
income is exempt from federal income tax.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Investing in compliance with industry-standard
requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and
diversification of investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment
risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The
municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by
adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial
condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate
increases can cause the price of a money market security to
decrease.
(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Entities located in

credit quality of issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. A decline in
the credit quality of an issuer or the provider of credit support or a

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks a high level of current
income exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross Income
Tax.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR's principal investment strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in investment-grade municipal
debt securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of the fund's
income is exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross
Income Tax.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Managing the fund to have similar overall
interest rate risk to the Lehman Brothers New Jersey Municipal Bond
Index with Port Authority of New York/New Jersey.
(small solid bullet) Allocating assets across different market sectors
and maturities.
(small solid bullet) Analyzing a security's structural features,
current pricing and trading opportunities, and the credit quality of
its issuer in selecting investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The municipal market
is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax,
legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the
issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Unfavorable political
or economic conditions within New Jersey can affect the credit quality
of issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently than
the value of the market as a whole.
In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a
greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single
issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would
occur in a more diversified fund.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

O n behalf of Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market and
Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income, FMR has entered into arrangements
with each fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized
as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce fund
expenses. New Jersey Municipal Money Market has entered into
arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the
total fund operating expenses would have been 0.59% for New Jersey
Municipal Money Market, unchanged for Spartan New Jersey Municipal
Money Market, and 0.54 % for Spartan New Jersey Municipal
Income.

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level
of current income, exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey
Gross Income Tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR normally invests the fund's assets in municipal money market
securities.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of the
fund's income is exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey
Gross Income Tax. Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from
federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross Income Tax include
securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam,
the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions
and public corporations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose
interest is subject to the New Jersey Gross Income Tax. Although FMR
does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal
securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may
invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest
is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in
municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those
relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR
stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity and
income.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high
a level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and, to the
extent possible, exempt from the New Jersey Gross Income Tax, as is
consistent with the preservation of capital.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR normally invests the fund's assets in municipal money market
securities.
FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in
municipal securities whose interest is exempt from the New Jersey
Gross Income Tax and invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of
the fund's income is exempt from federal income tax. Municipal
securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax and the
New Jersey Gross Income Tax include securities issued by U.S.
territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public
corporations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose
interest is subject to the New Jersey Gross Income Tax. Although FMR
does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal
securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may
invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest
is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in
municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those
relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks a high level of
current income exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross
Income Tax.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR normally invests the fund's assets in investment-grade municipal
debt securities.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of the
fund's income is exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey
Gross Income Tax. Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from
federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross Income Tax include
securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam,
the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions
and public corporations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose
interest is subject to the New Jersey Gross Income Tax. Although
FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal
securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may
invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest
is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal
securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to
education, health care, transportation and utilities.
FMR uses the Lehman Brothers New Jersey Municipal Bond Index with Port
Authority of New York/New Jersey as a guide in structuring the fund
and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar
overall interest rate risk to the index. As of November 30, 1998, the
dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund and the index was
approximately 12.5 and 13.5 years, respectively.
FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for
example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a
specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the
relative value of each sector and maturity.
Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a
security's structural features, current price compared to its
estimated long-term value, and any short-term trading
opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit
quality of its issuer.
FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling
futures contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to
changing security prices, interest rates or other factors that affect
security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund
may not achieve its objective.
DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high - quality, short-term debt
securities that pay a fixed, variable or floating interest rate.
Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible
investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy
the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market
securities have demand or put features which have the effect of
shortening the security's maturity. Municipal money market securities
include variable rate demand notes, commercial paper and municipal
notes.
DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest,
but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt
securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local
or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or
pre-refunded or escrowed bonds.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
and private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility.
Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local
government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or
anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by
domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters
of credit, guarantees or insurance.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
Many factors affect each fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates
each fund's investments in New Jersey, the fund's performance is
expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions
within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a
more geographically diversified fund.
The money market funds' yield s will change daily based on
changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Although each
fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no
guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major
increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the
issuer of one of a fund's investments could cause the fund's share
price to decrease. While the funds will be charged premiums by a
mutual insurance company for coverage of specified types of losses
related to default or bankruptcy on certain securities, a fund may
incur losses regardless of the insurance.
The bond fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in
interest rates and market conditions and in response to other
economic, political or financial developments. The fund's reaction to
these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of the
securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition,
industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer,
and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.
The following factors may significantly affect a fund's performance:
MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. Municipal securities can be significantly
affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the
municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the
rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal
securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities,
conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market.
In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual
municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market.
INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt and money market securities have varying
levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the
price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer
maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other
words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a
change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In
addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities
tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term
securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. E ntities located in foreign countries that
provide credit support or a maturity-shortening structure can involve
increased risks. Extensive public information about the provider may
not be available and unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments could affect the value of the security.
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. I n its seventh year of expansion, New
Jersey has benefitted and appears to continue to benefit from national
growth. New Jersey's economic base is diversified, consisting of a
variety of manufacturing, construction, and service industries,
supplemented by rural areas with selective commercial agriculture.
ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of issuer, and changes in general economic or
political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an
issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than
investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to these changes
than higher-quality debt securities. Entities providing credit support
or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types
of changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated
revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively
affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project
or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from
the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a
municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could become taxable and the security could
decline significantly in value. In addition, if the structure of a
security fails to function as intended, interest from the security
could become taxable or the security could decline in value.
In response to market, economic, political or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's
performance, and a fund may distribute income subject to federal
income tax or the New Jersey Gross Income Tax.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES
The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to
change only by shareholder approval.
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high
a level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and the New
Jersey Gross Income Tax, as is consistent with the preservation of
capital. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the fund's income
will be exempt from both federal income tax and New Jersey Gross
Income Tax.
SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUN D seeks
as high a level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and,
to the extent possible, exempt from the New Jersey Gross Income Tax,
as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing in
high-quality short-term municipal obligations. Under normal
conditions, the fund will invest so that at least 80% of its income is
exempt from federal income tax.
SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks a high a level
of current income exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey
Gross Income Tax. Under normal conditions, the fund will invest so
that at least 80% of its income is exempt from federal income tax and
New Jersey Gross Income Tax.
VALUING SHARES
Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or
as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) .
Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of
computing the fund's NAV.
To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund
is open for business.
Each money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized
cost.
The bond fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of
information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If
market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not
readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that
security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees
believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may
differ depending on the method used for determining value.

shares are sold without a sales charge.
Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your
investment is received in proper form.
Short-term or excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm
performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by
increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase
orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or
investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or
excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to
that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading
history in that fund or other Fidelity f unds, and accounts
under common ownership or control.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only
on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:

KEY INFORMATION

SELLING SHARES

Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income will deduct a short-term trading
fee of 0.50% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after
holding them less than 180 days. This fee is paid to the fund rather
than Fidelity, and is designed to offset the brokerage commissions,
market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund
asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.
If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest
will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the
short-term trading fee applies. The short-term trading fee does not
apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of
distributions.

is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if
applicable.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
Each fund earns interest, dividends and other income from its
investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to
shareholders as dividends. Each fund may also realize capital gains
from its investments, and distributes these gains (less losses), if
any, to shareholders as capital gains distributions.
The bond fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.
The bond fund normally pays capital gains distributions in January and
December.
Distributions you receive from each money market fund consist
primarily of dividends. Each money market fund normally declares
dividends daily and pays them monthly.
EARNING DIVIDENDS
Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the
day of purchase.
Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day
following the day of redemption.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. The following options may be available for
each fund's distributions:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional
shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.
1. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. (bond fund only) Your capital gains
distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of
the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.
1. CASH OPTION. Your dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any, will be paid in cash.
1. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividends
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gains distributions, if any,
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional
shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, call Fidelity.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the
U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution
option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not
receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution
checks.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax
consequences for you.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund seeks to earn income and pay
dividends exempt from federal income tax and the New Jersey Gross
Income Tax.
A portion of each fund's income, and the dividends you receive, may be
subject to federal and state income taxes. Each fund's income may be
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Each fund may also
realize taxable income or gains on the sale of municipal bonds and may
make taxable distributions.
For federal tax purposes, each fund's distributions of short-term
capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market
discount are taxable to you as ordinary income. Each fund's
distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you
generally as capital gains.
Distributions that are federally taxable as capital gains may
result in income for purposes of the New Jersey Gross Income Tax.
If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized
in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as
a return of capital to shareholders for tax purposes. A return of
capital will generally not be taxable to you, but will reduce the cost
basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a
lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by
paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of
the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be
taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution
option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest
distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you
will receive certain December distributions in January, but those
distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your bond fund redemptions, including
exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax
purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund
is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you
receive when you sell them.
Your bond fund redemptions, including exchanges, may result in
income for purposes of the New Jersey Gross Income Tax.
FUND SERVICES

FUND MANAGEMENT
Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal.
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is each fund's manager.
As of April 30 , 1998, FMR had approximately $ 529
billion in discretionary assets under management.
As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the funds' investments
and handling their business affairs.
Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), in Merrimack, New
Hampshire, serves as sub-adviser for each fund . FIMM is
primarily responsible for choosing investments for each fund.
FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of May 1, 1998 , FIMM had
approximately $99 billion in discretionary assets under
management.
A fund could be adversely affected if the computer systems used by FMR
and other service providers do not properly process and calculate
date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. FMR has
advised each fund that it is actively working on necessary changes to
its computer systems and expects that its systems, and those of other
major service providers, will be modified prior to January 1, 2000.
However, there can be no assurance that there will be no adverse
impact on a fund.
Norm an Lind is Vice President and manager of Spartan New Jersey
Municipal Income, which he has managed since April 1997. He also
manages several other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1986,
Mr. Lind has worked as an analyst and manager.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Each fund pays a management fee to FMR.
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays
all of the other expenses of Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market
and Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income with limited exceptions.
Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market and Spartan New Jersey
Municipal Income's annual management fee rate is 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of its average net assets.
For New Jersey Municipal Money Market, the fee is calculated by adding
a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve,
and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout
the month.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.
For November 1998 , the group fee rate was 0.1333 % for
New Jersey Municipal Money Market. The individual fund fee rate is
0.25% for New Jersey Municipal Money Market.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998
was 0.39 % of the fund's average net assets for New Jersey
Municipal Money Market.
FMR pays FIMM for providing assistance with investment advisory
services.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for
management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR
retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the
specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement
arrangements, which may be terminated by FMR at any time, can decrease
a fund's expenses and boost its performance.
FUND DISTRIBUTION
FDC distributes each fund's shares.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that
FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits
or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses
incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in
the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR,
directly or through FDC, may pay intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized
such payments.
To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives
brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this Prospectus and in the related
Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the funds or FDC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do
not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell or to buy
shares of the funds to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such
offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may
be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.
A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET
FUND
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, the fund
would not comply with any applicable diversification requirements for
a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the
rules thereunder, as such may be amended from time to time;
(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the
insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise
permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(3) sell securities short, unless it owns, or by virtue of ownership
of other securities, has the right to obtain at no added cost,
securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short;
(4) purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain
such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions;
(5) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;
(6) underwrite securities issued by others (except to the extent that
the fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities);
(7) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a
U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a
political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more
than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
companies whose principal business activities are in the same
industry;
(8) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(9) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities; or
(10) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties (but
this limit does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements).
(11) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity
Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund does not
currently intend to purchase the securities of any issuer (other than
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its
agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other money market
funds) if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund's total assets would
be invested in the securities of that issuer.
( ii ) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (5)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
( iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any
security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be
invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are
subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they
cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
( iv ) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
( v ) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its
assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment
company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an
affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental
investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (7) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of
a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the
issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For purposes of limitation (i), certain securities subject to
guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand
features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are
subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with
industry standard requirements for money market funds.
With respect to limitation (iii), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where than
10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would
consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties (but this

(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits
imposed by Subchapter M.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (2)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
with substantially the same fundamental investment objective,
policies, and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the
fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of
any one issuer and to invest as least 50% of total assets so that no
more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in the securities
of any one issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments
in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter
M) and securities of other investment companies. These tax
requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the
fund's taxable year.
For purposes of limitations (4) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of
a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the
issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 42.
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a fund achieve
its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of purchase
contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing
the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit,
surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security
values may also be affected by other factors including changes in
interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool
and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the
pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities
providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be
subject to prepayment risk.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in
cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase
agreements or shares of money market funds. Generally, these
securities offer less potential for gains than other types of
securities.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS are money market funds managed by FMR or its
affiliates that seek to earn a high level of current income (free from
federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The funds comply with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity and diversification of their investments.
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying the value
of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these
calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's
portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a
stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to
this rule.
For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will
take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call,
refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument
will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be
its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call
an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account
that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the
number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to
be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures
Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options,
Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options
positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction
costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in
options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a
specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price
at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer
and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures
contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury
bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices,
such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index. Futures can be held until
their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid
secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The bond fund has
filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the
term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the bond fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts,
purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than
25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and
options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or
write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon
settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put
options would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call
options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call
options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total
assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or
acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do
not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.
The above limitations on the bond fund's investments in futures
contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures
contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed
as regulatory agencies permit.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility
to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve
greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed
by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation
to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the
other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek
to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out
the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the
secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer
must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on
a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to
an FCM as described above for futures contracts.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may
be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume
of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it
trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics
and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other
credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the
method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the
security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and
obligations of the security).
INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to the
prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial
indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt
securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is
determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed
securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that
depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon
rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points
for every 1% interest rate change.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security or other instrument to which they are
indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments.
Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated
with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline
substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal
funds currently intend to participate in this program only as
borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs
are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund
borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration
of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may
have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund
loan is called or not renewed.
INVERSE FLOATERS have variable interest rates that typically move in
the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term
interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest
rates fall, and vice versa. The prices of inverse floaters can be
considerably more volatile than the prices of bonds with comparable
maturities.
INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Investment-grade debt securities are
medium and high-quality securities. Some may possess speculative
characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes
and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security
is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade
by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., or Fitch IBCA Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities have poor
protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of
principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered
to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of
lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of
higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity
of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.
A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security
holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it
determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. Each money market fund participates in a
mutual insurance company solely with other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. This company provides insurance coverage for losses on
certain money market instruments held by a participating fund
(eligible instruments), including losses from nonpayment of principal
or interest or a bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer or credit
support provider, if any. The insurance does not cover losses
resulting from changes in interest rates or other market developments.
Each money market fund is charged an annual premium for the insurance
coverage and may be subject to a special assessment of up to
approximately two and one-half times the fund's annual gross premium
if covered losses exceed certain levels. A participating fund may
recover no more than $100 million annually, including all other claims
of insured funds, and may only recover if the amount of the loss
exceeds 0.30% of its eligible instruments. Each money market fund may
incur losses regardless of the insurance.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations.
Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust
or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market
funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of
a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance
price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse
tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled
definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured
securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could
adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income
received from these securities or the nature and timing of
distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL INSURANCE. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that
guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of
principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the
issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or
(ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market
insurance).
Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and
scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a
municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a
municipal bond to its maturity, enhancing its credit quality and
value.
Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations
or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond
insurance policy will not cover: (i) repayment of a municipal bond
before maturity (redemption), (ii) prepayment or payment of an
acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund redemption)
or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances the maturity
of the bond, or (iii) nonpayment of principal or interest caused by
negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A mandatory sinking fund
redemption may be a provision of a municipal bond issue whereby part
of the municipal bond issue may be retired before maturity.
Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and
outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, an
event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a
significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by
that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole.
FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default,
or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds
a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest
payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal
from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection
with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.
PRINCIPAL MUNICIPAL BOND INSURERS. The various insurance companies
providing primary and secondary market insurance policies for
municipal bonds are described below. Ratings reflect each respective
rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of an insurer and
the insurer's ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the
time of the assessment.
Ambac Assurance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial
Group Inc., is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S.
states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Bonds insured by Ambac Assurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's
Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Connie Lee Insurance Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connie Lee
Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Assurance
Corp. All losses incurred by Connie Lee Insurance Co. that would cause
its statutory capital to drop below $75 million would be covered by
Ambac Assurance Corp. Connie Lee Insurance Co. is authorized to
provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia,
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Connie Lee
Insurance Co. are rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. (FGIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
GE Capital Services, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50
U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Bonds insured by FGIC are
rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard &
Poor's.
Financial Security Assurance Inc. (FSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Financial Security Assurance Holdings Ltd., is authorized to provide
bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and three
U.S. territories. Bonds insured by FSA are rated "Aaa" by Moody's
Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corp. (MBIA Insurance Corp.), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc., a publicly-owned company, is
authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds
insured by MBIA Insurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investor
Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the form
of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract
and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to
acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally,
a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the
property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal
obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest
gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation
in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the
issue.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated
with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and
statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must
meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate
limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or
conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the
leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a
means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment
without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for
the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include
"non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has
no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis.
Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance
limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its
obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or
become taxable.
MUNICIPAL MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities
may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to
legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal
securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event
of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income
tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced
before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced
before the New Jersey legislature that would affect the state tax
treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were
enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a
municipal fund's holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers
could produce varying results among the states or among municipal
securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could
affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific
segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular
securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on
the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund,
making it more difficult for a money market fund to maintain a stable
net asset value per share.
TRANSPORTATION. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the
construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit
facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of
the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who
uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader
economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of
fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability
of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and
the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability
also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the
presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public
transportation.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer
or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange
for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities
with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is
unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers
often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining
letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand
features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a
purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and
yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years
in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the
full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding
contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment
of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its
obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a
letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the
refunding contract.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal restrictions on their sale.
Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to
a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately
negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.
Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security
may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a
considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek
registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under
an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's
yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various
forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of
credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided
by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the
credit or liquidity enhancement provider in determining whether to
purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the
credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider
whether adequate public information about the entity is available and
whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic
developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that
might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the
credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect
the value of the security or a fund's share price.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS are puts that entitle holders to same-day
settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the
underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of
exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the
liquidity of portfolio securities.
Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third
party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a
third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments
separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities
subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a
higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to
maturity.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or
other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand.
FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining
whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In
evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate
public information about the bank is available and whether the bank
may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments,
currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might
affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.
Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the
ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the
time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments
are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities
of the underlying securities may be different from those of the
commitments.
TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES Each fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial
amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted
in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.
TENDER OPTION BONDS are created by coupling an intermediate- or
long-term, fixed-rate, municipal bond (generally held pursuant to a
custodial arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder
the option to tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for
providing the tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank,
broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees
equal to the difference between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the
rate (determined by a remarketing or similar agent) that would cause
the bond, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date
of such determination. After payment of the tender option fee, a fund
effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the
prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. In selecting tender option
bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the
underlying bond, the custodian, and the third party provider of the
tender option. In certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender
option if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on
interest payments.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments
in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities
provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
while floating rate securities have interest rates that change
whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate. Some
variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features
that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance
plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial
intermediaries.
In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender
options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put)
the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the
principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this
fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable
rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these
instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third
party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in
trust or otherwise may have similar features.
WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS involve a
commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined
price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the
customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the
purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the
risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security
will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities
is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition
to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains
substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding,
the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a
security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not
participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security.
If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver
or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or
yield opportunity or suffer a loss.
A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may
sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in
capital gains or losses for the fund.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make interest payments; instead, they are
sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of
fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a
fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon
bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING NEW JERSEY
The following highlights only some of the more significant financial
trends and issues affecting New Jersey (the "State"), and is based on
information drawn from official statements and prospectuses relating
to securities offerings of the State, its agencies and
instrumentalities, as available on the date of this SAI. FMR has not
independently verified any of the information contained in such
official statements and other publicly available documents, but is not
aware of any fact which would render such information inaccurate.
The State's personal income tax rates were reduced so that coupled
with the prior rate reductions, beginning with tax year 1996, personal
income tax rates are, depending upon a taxpayer's level of income and
filing status, 30%, 15% or 9% lower than 1993 rates.
The State's economic base is diversified, consisting of a variety of
manufacturing, construction and service industries, supplemented by
rural areas with selective commercial agriculture.
In its seventh year of expansion, the State has benefited and
appears to continue to benefit from national growth. While the latest
national indicators show that economic growth strongly accelerated
during the first quarter of 1998, the inflation rate remained low.
After very robust economic growth of 5.5% in the first quarter of
1998, inflation-adjusted gross domestic product slowed to 1.4% in the
second quarter. This second quarter pace is slower, but is positive
and more sustainable.
Business investment expenditures and consumer spending have increased
substantially in the nation as well as in the State. Capital and
consumer spending may continue to rise due to the sustained character
of economic growth and the interest-sensitive homebuilding
industry may continue to provide stimulus both nationally and
in New Jersey . It is expected that the employment and income
growth that has and is taking place will lead to further growth in
consumer outlays. Reasons for continued optimism in New
Jersey include increasing employment levels and a
higher-than-national level of per capita personal income. Also,
several expansions of existing hotel-casinos and plans for several new
casinos in Atlantic City will mean additional job creation.
In addition, the State's growth potential is not yet as limited by
labor supply constraints affecting some other parts of the country.
The region's manufacturers and trade-related service sectors could
also get a lift from continued recovery in Western Europe and Mexico
and from relatively high economic growth in South America. At the same
time, the State appears to be less dependent on exports to East Asian
countries that currently have financial difficulties than many other
states, especially on the West Coast.
Looking further ahead, prospects for New Jersey are favorable.
While growth is likely to be slower than in the nation, the locational
advantages that have served New Jersey well for many years will still
be there. Structural changes that have been going on for years can be
expected to continue, with job creation concentrated most heavily in
the service industries.
New Jersey has a Constitutional provision that requires the
State to maintain a balanced budget. The State operates on a fiscal
year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. For example, " Fiscal Year
1999 " refers to the State's fiscal year beginning July 1,
1998 and ending June 30, 1999 . Changes in economic activity
in the State and the nation, consumption of durable goods, corporate
financial performance and other factors that are difficult to predict
may result in actual collections for Fiscal Year 1999 being
more or less than forecasted. The State is bound, however, by the
constitutional requirement that no appropriations law may be enacted
if the amount of money appropriated therein, together with all other
prior appropriations made for the same Fiscal Year, exceeds the total
amount anticipated revenues available for such Fiscal Year as
certified by the Governor. The General Fund is the fund into which all
State revenues not otherwise restricted by statute are deposited and
from which appropriations are made. The largest part of the total
financial operations of the State is accounted for in the General
Fund, which includes revenues received from taxes and unrestricted by
statute, most federal revenues, and certain miscellaneous revenue
items. The appropriations act provides the basic framework for the
operation of the General Fund. The undesignated General Fund balance
at year end for Fiscal year 1995 was $569 million, for Fiscal Year
1996 $442 million, for Fiscal Year 1997, $280 million. For Fiscal
Years 1998 and 1999 , the balances at year end in the
undesignated General Fund are estimated to be $144 million and $199
million , respectively.
Legislation approved by the Governor on June 5, 1997 revised funding
provisions applicable to the State retirement systems. The legislation
provides that the value of the assets of the retirement systems shall
be the full fair market value of the assets as of the valuation date
of the valuation reports applicable to Fiscal Year 1998. Additionally,
on the same date, legislation was enacted to authorize the New Jersey
Economic Development Authority (the "Authority") to issue bonds, notes
of other obligations for the purpose of financing in full or in part
the unfunded accrued pension liability for the State's seven
retirement plans. On June 30, 1997, the Authority issued bonds
pursuant to this legislation (the "Pension Bonds"). For Fiscal Year
1998, $327.9 million was provided as the State's contribution
to the State's retirement systems, which appropriation takes into
account funding from the proceeds of the Pension Bonds and the change
in the asset valuation method authorized by the recent legislation
(collectively, the "1997 Pension Transaction"). For Fiscal Year
1998, excess assets offset, in full or in part, the State's normal
contribution to four of the State's seven retirement plans. The total
reduction for excess assets was $367.7 million.
For Fiscal Year 1999, $545.5 million is provided in the Fiscal Year
1999 Appropriations Act as the State's contribution to the State's
retirement systems.
The State finances capital projects primarily through the sale of its
general obligation bonds. These bonds are backed by the full faith and
credit of the State. Certain State tax revenues and certain
other fees are pledged to meet the principal and interest payments
and if required, redemption premium payments, if any , to pay
the debt fully. No general obligation debt can be issued by the State
without prior voter approval, except that no voter approval is
required for any law authorizing the creation of a debt for the
purpose of refinancing all or a portion of outstanding debt of the
State, so long as such law requires that the refinancing provide a
debt service savings.
In addition to payment from bond proceeds, capital construction can
also be funded by appropriation of current revenues on a pay-as-you-go
basis. In Fiscal Year 1999 , the amount appropriated to this
purpose is $ 615.6 million of which $ 463.7 million is for
transportation projects.
The aggregate outstanding general obligation bond indebtedness of the
State as of June 30, 1998 was $3,573 billion . For Fiscal
Year 1999, $501.1 million has been appropriated for principal
and interest payments for general obligation bonds.
The State has extensive control over school districts, cities,
counties and local financing authorities. State laws impose specific
limitations of local appropriations, with exemptions subject to state
approval. The State shares the proceeds of a number of taxes, with
funds going for, among other things, local education programs,
homestead rebates, Medicaid and welfare programs.
The State of New Jersey has implemented a plan to address the Year
2000 data processing problem and ensure the continuation of government
operations into the Year 2000 and beyond. Planning for the Year 2000
commenced in 1997 with the requirement that the various State
departments submit comprehensive three year action plans identifying
all Year 2000 impacts, strategies and timeframes for addressing these
impacts and estimates of cost. The State imposed a moratorium during
Fiscal Year 1998 on all non-year 2000 related data processing
activities to ensure availability of resources for Year 2000
compliance. Agencies were directed to review current and ongoing
technology initiatives in light of the moratorium and suspend all
those that are not considered mission critical. This moratorium will
remain in effect until each agency can certify that it is Year 2000
compliant. As of June 30, 1998, the testing, validation and
implementation of 55 percent of all critical centrally maintained
systems is complete. Departmental systems are in varying stages of
remediation. The total estimated cost to the State to achieve Year
2000 compliance is $132 million of which approximately $55 million of
expenditures have been incurred as of June 30, 1998. Colleges,
authorities, municipal, county and local sub-divisions will address
Year 2000 issues separately.
At any given time, there are various numbers of claims and cases
pending against the State, State agencies and employees, seeking
recovery of monetary damages that are primarily paid out of the fund
created pursuant to the Tort Claims Act, N.J.S.A. 59:1-1 et. seq. In
addition, at any given time there are various numbers of contract and
other claims against the State and State agencies, including
environmental claims asserted against the state, among other parties,
arising from the alleged disposal of hazardous waste. The State is
unable to estimate its exposure for these claims. Moreover, the State
is involved in a number of other lawsuits in which the State has the
potential for either a significant loss of revenue or a significant
unanticipated expenditure. Such cases include challenges to its system
of educational funding, the methods by which the State Department of
Human Services shares with county governments, the maintenance
recoveries and costs for residents in State psychiatric hospitals, and
residential facilities for the developmentally disabled, a suit
challenging the constitutionality of hazardous and solid waste
licensure renewal fees collected by the Department of Environmental
Protection, a suit alleging tort and contractual claims against the
State associated with a resource recovery facility, a suit seeking
return of moneys paid by various counties for maintenance of Medicaid
or Medicare eligible residents of institutions and facilities for the
developmentally disabled, a suit challenging assessments upon property
and casualty liability insurers pursuant to the Fair Automobile
Insurance Reform Act, and suits seeking return of moneys paid by
various hospitals pursuant to the Health Care Cost Reform Act of 1992.
Currently, the State's general obligation bonds are rated AA+ by
Standard & Poor's, Aa1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and AA+ by
Fitch IBCA, Inc.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO
The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends
and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the
"Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn
from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities
offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, as
available on the date of this SAI. FMR has not independently verified
any of the information contained in such official statements,
prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware
of any fact that would render such information materially inaccurate.
The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United
States. In fiscal 1997, trade with the United States accounted for
approximately 88% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 62% of
its imports. In this regard, in fiscal 1997 Puerto Rico experienced a
$2.7 billion positive adjusted merchandise trade balance.
Since fiscal 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has
increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal 1997, aggregate
personal income was $32.1 billion ($30.0 billion in 1992 prices) and
personal per capita income was $8,509 ($7,957 in 1992 prices). Gross
product in fiscal 1993 was $25.1 billion ($24.5 billion in 1992
prices) and gross product in fiscal 1997 was $32.1 billion ($27.7
billion in 1992 prices). This represents an increase in gross product
of 27.7% from fiscal 1993 to 1997 (13.0% in 1992 prices).
Puerto Rico's economic expansion, which has lasted over ten years,
continued throughout the five-year period from fiscal 1993 through
fiscal 1997. Almost every sector of the economy participated, and
record levels of employment were achieved. Factors behind the
continued expansion included Government-sponsored economic development
programs, periodic declines in the exchange value of the U.S. dollar,
increases in the level of federal transfers, and the relatively low
cost of borrowing funds during the period.
Average employment increased from 999,000 in fiscal 1993 to 1,128,300
in fiscal 1997. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical
levels, remains above the U.S. average. Average unemployment decreased
from 16.8% in fiscal 1993 to 13.1% in fiscal 1997.
Manufacturing is the largest sector in the economy accounting for
$19.8 billion or 41.2% of gross domestic product in fiscal 1997. The
manufacturing sector employed 153,273 workers as of March 1997.
Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during
earlier phases of industrial development. In the last two decades
industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and
dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift is best exemplified by
heavy investment in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments,
computers, microprocessors, and electrical products over the last
decade. The service sector, which includes wholesale and retail trade
and finance, insurance, real estate, hotels and related services, and
other services, ranks second in its contribution to gross domestic
product and is the sector that employs the greatest number of people.
In fiscal 1997, the service sector generated $18.4 billion in gross
domestic product or 38.2% of the total. Employment in this sector grew
from 467,000 in fiscal 1993 to 551,000 in fiscal 1997, a cumulative
increase of 17.8%. This increase was greater than the 12.9% cumulative
growth in employment over the same period providing 48% of total
employment. The Government sector of the Commonwealth plays an
important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 1997, the
Government accounted for $5.2 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic
product and provided 10.9% of the total employment. The construction
industry has experienced real growth since fiscal 1987. In fiscal
1997, investment in construction rose to $4.7 billion, an increase of
14.7% as compared to $4.1 billion for fiscal 1996. Tourism also
contributes significantly to the island economy, accounting for $2.0
billion of gross domestic product in fiscal 1997.
The present administration has developed and is implementing a new
economic development program which is based on the premise that the
private sector should provide the primary impetus for economic
development and growth. This new program, which is referred to as the
New Economic Model, promotes changing the role of the Government from
one of being a provider of most basic services to that of a
facilitator for private sector initiatives and encourages private
sector investment by reducing Government-imposed regulatory
restraints.
The New Economic Model contemplates the development of initiatives
that will foster private investment in, and private management of,
sectors that are served more efficiently and effectively by the
private enterprise. One of these initiatives has been the adoption of
a new tax code intended to expand the tax base, reduce top personal
and corporate tax rates, and simplify the tax system. Another
initiative is the improvement and expansion of Puerto Rico's
infrastructure to facilitate private sector development and growth,
such as the construction of the water pipeline and cogeneration
facilities described below and the construction of a light rail system
for the San Juan metropolitan area.
The New Economic Model also seeks to identify and promote areas in
which Puerto Rico can compete more effectively in the global markets.
Tourism has been identified as one such area because of its potential
for job creation and contribution to the gross product. In 1993, a new
Tourism Incentives Act and a Tourism Development Fund were implemented
in order to provide special tax incentives and financing for the
development of new hotel projects and the tourism industry. As a
result of these initiatives, new hotels have been constructed or are
under construction which have increased the number of hotel rooms on
the island from 8,415 in fiscal 1992 to 10,877 at the end of fiscal
1997 and to a projected 11,972 by the end of fiscal 1998.
The New Economic Model also seeks to reduce the size of the
Government's direct contribution to gross domestic product. As part of
this goal, the Government has transferred certain Governmental
operations and sold a number of its assets to private parties. Among
these are: (i) the Government sold the assets of the Puerto Rico
Maritime Authority; (ii) the Government executed a five-year
management agreement for the operation and management of the Aqueducts
and Sewer Authority by a private company; (iii) the Aqueducts and
Sewer Authority executed a construction and operating agreement with a
private consortium for the design, construction, and operation of an
approximately 75 million gallon per day water pipeline to the San Juan
metropolitan area from the Dos Bocas reservoir in Utuado; (iv) the
Electric Power Authority executed power purchase contracts with
private power producers under which two cogeneration plants (with a
total capacity of 800 megawatts) will be constructed; (v) the
Corrections Administration entered into operating agreements with two
private companies for the operation of three new correctional
facilities; (vi) the Government entered into a definitive agreement to
sell certain assets of a pineapple juice processing business and sold
certain mango growing operations; (vii) the Government is in the
process of transferring to local sugar cane growers certain sugar
processing facilities; (viii) the Government sold two hotel properties
and is currently negotiating the sale of a complex consisting of two
hotels and a convention center; and (ix) the Government has announced
its intention to sell the Puerto Rico Telephone Company and is
currently involved in the sale process.
One of the goals of the Rossello administration is to change Puerto
Rico's public health care system from one in which the Government
provides free health services to low income individuals through public
health facilities owned and administered by the Government to one in
which all medical services are provided by the private sector and the
Government provides comprehensive health insurance coverage for
qualifying (generally low income) Puerto Rico residents. Under this
new system, the Government selects, through a bidding system, one
private health insurance company in each of several designated regions
of the island and pays such insurance company the insurance premium
for each eligible beneficiary within such region. This new health
insurance system is now covering 61 municipalities out of a total of
78 on the island. It is expected that 11 municipalities will be added
by the end of fiscal 1998 and 5 more by the end of fiscal 1999. The
total cost of this program will depend on the number of municipalities
included in the program, the number of participants receiving
coverage, and the date coverage commences. As of December 31, 1997,
over 1.1 million persons were participating in the program at an
estimated annual cost to Puerto Rico for fiscal 1998 of approximately
$672 million. In conjunction with this program, the operation of
certain public health facilities has been transferred to private
entities. The Government's current privatization plan for health
facilities provides for the transfer of ownership of all health
facilities to private entities. The Government sold six health
facilities to private companies and is currently in negotiations with
other private companies for the sale of thirteen health facilities to
such companies.
One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing
sector in Puerto Rico has been the federal and Commonwealth tax
incentives available, particularly those under the Puerto Rico
Industrial Incentives Program and Sections 30A and 936 of the Internal
Revenue Code 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Since 1948, Puerto Rico has promulgated various industrial incentives
laws designed to stimulate industrial investment. Under these laws,
companies engaged in manufacturing and certain other designated
activities were eligible to receive full or partial exemption from
income, property, and other taxes. The most recent of these laws is
Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997 (the "1998 Tax Incentives Law").
The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Law are available to
new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt
operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing
tax exemption grant. Activities eligible for tax exemption include
manufacturing, certain services performed for markets outside Puerto
Rico, the production of energy from local renewable sources for
consumption in Puerto Rico, and laboratories for scientific and
industrial research. For companies qualifying thereunder, the 1998 Tax
Incentives Law imposes income tax rates ranging from 2% to 7%. In
addition, it grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption
from municipal license taxes during the first eighteen months of
operation and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from
municipal excise taxes. The 1998 Tax Incentives Law also provides
various special deductions designated to stimulate employment and
productivity, research and development, and capital investment in
Puerto Rico.
Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Law, companies are able to repatriate or
distribute their profits free of tollgate taxes. In addition, passive
income derived from designated investments will continue to be fully
exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual
shareholders of an exempted business will be allowed a credit against
their Puerto Rico income taxes equal to 30% of their proportionate
share in the exempted business' income tax liability. Gain from the
sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders
during the exemption period will be subject to a 4% income tax rate.
For many years, U.S. companies operating in Puerto Rico enjoyed a
special tax credit that was available under Section 936 of the Code.
Originally, the credit provided an effective 100% federal tax
exemption for operating and qualifying investment income from Puerto
Rico sources. Amendments to Section 936 made in 1993 (the "1993
Amendments") instituted two alternative methods for calculating the
tax credit and limited the amount of the credit that a qualifying
company could claim. These limitations are based on a percentage of
qualifying income (the "percentage of income limitation") and on
qualifying expenditures on wages and other wage related benefits (the
"economic activity limitation", also known as the "wage credit
limitation"). As a result of amendments incorporated in the Small
Business Job Protection Act of 1996 enacted by the U.S. Congress and
signed into law by President Clinton on August 20, 1996 (the "1996
Amendments"), the tax credit, as described below, is now being phased
out over a ten-year period for existing claimants and is no longer
available for corporations that established operations in Puerto Rico
after October 13, 1995 (including existing Section 936 Corporations
(as defined below) to the extent substantially new operations are
established in Puerto Rico). The 1996 Amendments also moved the credit
based on the economic activity limitation to Section 30A of the Code
and phased it out over 10 years. In addition, the 1996 Amendments
eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from
certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. The Section 30A credit
and the remaining Section 936 credit are discussed below.
SECTION 30A. The 1996 Amendments added a new Section 30A to the Code.
Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that
meets certain gross income tests (which are similar to the 80% and 75%
gross income tests of Section 936 of the Code discussed below) to
claim a credit (the "Section 30A credit") against the federal income
tax imposed on taxable income derived from sources outside the United
States from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico
or from the sale of substantially all the assets used in such business
("possession income").
A QDC is a U.S. corporation which (i) was actively conducting a trade
or business in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, (ii) had a Section 936
election in effect for its taxable year that included October 13,
1995, (iii) does not have in effect an election to use the percentage
limitation of Section 936(a)(4)(B) of the Code, and (iv) does not add
a "substantial new line of business."
The Section 30A credit is limited to the sum of (i) 60% of qualified
possession wages as defined in the Code, which includes wages up to
85% of the maximum earnings subject to the OASDI portion of Social
Security taxes plus an allowance for fringe benefits of 15% of
qualified possession wages, (ii) a specified percentage of
depreciation deductions ranging between 15% and 65%, based on the
class life of tangible property, and (iii) a portion of Puerto Rico
income taxes paid by the QDC, up to a 9% effective tax rate (but only
if the QDC does not elect the profit-split method for allocating
income from intangible property).
A QDC electing Section 30A of the Code may compute the amount of its
active business income, eligible for the Section 30A Credit, by using
either the cost sharing formula, the profit-split formula, or the
cost-plus formula, under the same rules and guidelines prescribed for
such formulas as provided under Section 936 (see discussion below). To
be eligible for the first two formulas, the QDC must have a
significant presence in Puerto Rico.
In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the
amount of possession income that would qualify for the Section 30A
credit would be subject to a cap based on the QDC's possession income
for an average adjusted base period ending before October 14, 1995.
Section 30A applies only to taxable years beginning after December 31,
1995 and before January 1, 2006.
SECTION 936. Under Section 936 of the Code, as amended by the 1996
Amendments, and as an alternative to the Section 30A credit, U.S.
corporations that meet certain requirements and elect its application
("Section 936 Corporations") are entitled to credit against their U.S.
corporate income tax, the portion of such tax attributable to income
derived from the active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto
Rico ("active business income") and from the sale or exchange of
substantially all assets used in the active conduct of such trade or
business. To qualify under Section 936 in any given taxable year, a
corporation must derive for the three-year period immediately
preceding the end of such taxable year (i) 80% or more of its gross
income from sources within Puerto Rico and (ii) 75% or more of its
gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto
Rico.
Under Section 936, a Section 936 Corporation may elect to compute its
active business income, eligible for the Section 936 credit, under one
of three formulas: (A) a cost-sharing formula, whereby it is allowed
to claim all profits attributable to manufacturing intangibles, and
other functions carried out in Puerto Rico, provided it contributes to
the research and development expenses of its affiliated group or pays
certain royalties; (B) a profit-split formula, whereby it is allowed
to claim 50% of the net income of its affiliated group from the sale
of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; or (C) a cost-plus formula,
whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the
manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. To be eligible for the
first two formulas, the Section 936 Corporation must have a
significant business presence in Puerto Rico for purposes of the
Section 936 rules.
As a result of the 1993 Amendments and the 1996 Amendments, the
Section 936 credit is only available to companies that elect the
percentage of income limitation and is limited in amount to 40% of the
credit allowable prior to the 1993 Amendments, subject to a five-year
phase-in period from 1994 to 1998 during which period the percentage
of the allowable credit is reduced from 60% to 40%.
In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the
possession income subject to the Section 936 credit will be subject to
a cap based on the Section 936 Corporation's possession income for an
average adjusted base period ending on October 14, 1995. The Section
936 credit is eliminated for taxable years beginning in 2006.
PROPOSAL TO EXTEND THE PHASEOUT OF SECTION 30A. During 1997, the
Government of Puerto Rico proposed to Congress the enactment of a new
permanent federal incentive program similar to that provided under
Section 30A. Such a program would provide U.S. companies a tax credit
based on qualifying wages paid and other wage-related expenses, such
as fringe benefits, as well as depreciation expenses for certain
tangible assets and research and development expenses. Under the
Governor's proposal, the credit granted to qualifying companies would
continue in effect until Puerto Rico shows, among other things,
substantial economic improvements in terms of certain economic
parameters. The fiscal 1998 budget submitted by President Clinton to
Congress in February 1997 included a proposal to modify Section 30A to
(i) extend the availability of the Section 30A credit indefinitely;
(ii) make it available to companies establishing operations in Puerto
Rico after October 13, 1995; and (iii) eliminate the income cap.
Although this proposal, was not included in the final fiscal 1998
federal budget, President Clinton's fiscal 1999 budget submitted to
Congress again included these modifications to Section 30A. While the
Government of Puerto Rico plans to continue lobbying for this
proposal, it is not possible at this time to predict whether the
Section 30A credit will be so modified.
OUTLOOK. It is not possible at this time to determine the long-term
effect on the Puerto Rico economy of the enactment of the 1996
Amendments. The Government of Puerto Rico does not believe there will
be short-term or medium-term material adverse effects on Puerto Rico's
economy as a result of the enactment of the 1996 Amendments. The
Government of Puerto Rico further believes that during the phase-out
period sufficient time exists to implement additional incentive
programs to safeguard Puerto Rico's competitive position.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness
of any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of
fund expenses.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice concerning the
value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or
selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of investment accounts; and effect securities transactions
and perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, a
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause a fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR
must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided
by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a particular
transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund or its
other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not attempt to
place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research services
provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should be
related to those services.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, FMR is authorized to
allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account
assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or
other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and
other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may use research
services provided by and place agency transactions with National
Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for investment accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless
certain requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal periods ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, the portfolio
turnover rates were 12 % and 16 % , respectively,
for Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income.
For the fiscal years ended November 1998, 1997, and 1996, the funds
paid no brokerage commissions.
The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the funds could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
each fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those
of other funds managed by FMR or investment accounts managed by FMR
affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the
portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or investment account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its
liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares
outstanding.
TAX-FREE BOND FUND. Portfolio securities are valued by various
methods. If quotations are not available, fixed-income securities are
usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing
service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both
dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques.
Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A
number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various
pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available. S ecurities of other open-end investment
companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value
of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more
accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example,
securities and other assets for which there is no readily available
market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the
value of a security, the committee may review price movements in
futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and
trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange
institutional trading.
MONEY MARKET FUNDS. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued
on the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially
valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value.
The amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than
the price a fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
Securities of other open-ended investment companies are valued at
their respective NAVs.
At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the
extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would
deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost
valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from a fund's
amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other
unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such
corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or
reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair
results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming
shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations;
and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
A fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The share price of a bond
fund, the yield of a fund, and return fluctuate in response to market
conditions and other factors, and the value of a bond fund's
shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS (MONEY MARKET FUNDS).To compute the yield for a
money market fund for a period, the net change in value of a
hypothetical account containing one share reflects the value of
additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at
the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base
period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. A
money market fund also may calculate an effective yield by compounding
the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to the
current yield, a money market fund may quote yields in advertising
based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for a money market
fund are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by applicable regulation.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a fund's performance and
in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, a fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
a fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market
rates, and in periods of rising interest rates a fund's yield will
tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the
inflow of net new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its
shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields
than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing a fund's
current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can
be expected to occur.
YIELD CALCULATIONS (BOND FUND). Yields for the fund are computed by
dividing the fund's interest and income for a given 30-day or
one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares
entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this
figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the
result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an
annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflect the fund's short-term
trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds
trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of
the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with
respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. Capital gains and losses generally are
excluded from the calculation.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's
yield differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's
yield may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your
account, or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.
In calculating the fund's yield, the fund may from time
to time use a portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to
maturity in order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This
practice will have the effect of reducing the fund's yield.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's
performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates,
unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period
of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also
note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of
respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than
prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when
interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the
fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in
instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's
holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
The tax-equivalent yield of a fund is the rate an investor would have
to earn from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal the
fund's tax-free yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by
dividing a fund's yield by the result of one minus a specified
combined federal and state income tax rate. If only a portion of a
fund's yield is tax-exempt, only that portion is adjusted in the
calculation.
The following tables show the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal and state income tax laws for 1999. The
second table shows the approximate yield a taxable security must
provide at various income brackets to produce after-tax yields
equivalent to those of hypothetical tax-exempt obligations yielding
from 2 % to 7 %. Of course, no assurance can be given that
a fund will achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While a fund
invests principally in obligations whose interest is exempt from
federal and state income tax, other income received by the fund may be
taxable. The tables do not take into account local taxes, if any,
payable on fund distributions.
Use the first table to find your approximate effective tax bracket
taking into account federal and state taxes for 1999.

A fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to state or federal income taxes. When a fund invests in these
obligations, its tax-equivalent yield will be lower. In the table
above, the tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments
are 100% federally and state tax-free.
RETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects
of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and
capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's NAV over a
stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a
stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in a fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of
100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%,
which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth
on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a
convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors
should realize that a fund's performance is not constant over time,
but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns
represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of a fund.
In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged
or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns
may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital
gains and changes in share price) in order to illustrate the
relationship of these factors and their contributions to return.
Returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis. Returns may
or may not include the effect of the account closeout fee or the small
account fee. Excluding a fund's small account fee or account closeout
fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure.
Returns, yields, and other performance information may be quoted
numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the bond fund's NAVs,
adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by
the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless
otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted
for sales charges, if any.

The following tables show the income and capital elements of each
fund's cumulative return. The tables compare each fund's return to the
record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as measured by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The CPI information
is as of the month-end closest to the initial investment date for each
fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how each
fund's return compared to the record of a broad unmanaged index of
common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial
companies, respectively, over the same period. Because each fund
invests in fixed-income securities, common stocks represent a
different type of investment from the funds. Common stocks generally
offer greater growth potential than the funds, but generally
experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for
loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than
fixed-income investments such as the funds. The S&P 500 and DJIA
returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and,
unlike each fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage
commissions or other costs of investing.
The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical

consequences of different investments have not been factored into the

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Spartan
New Jersey Municipal Money Market on May 1, 1990, the net amount
invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial
investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested
dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their
cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to
$ 13,309 . If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount
of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been
smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to
$ 2,863 for dividends. The fund did not distribute any
capital gains during the period. The figures in the table do not
include the effect of the fund's account closeout fee.
During the 10-year period ended November 30, 1998, a hypothetical

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Spartan
New Jersey Municipal Income on December 1, 1 988 , the net amount
invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial
investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested
dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their
cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to
$ 19,73 7. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount
of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take
sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance
may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund
performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When
comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and
return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while
stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry
the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market
funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not
offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, a fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising. The bond fund may advertise risk
ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating
agencies.
A fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of all dividends
and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike a
fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage
commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in
the securities included in the index.
The municipal bond fund may compare its performance to the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more.
In addition, Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income may compare its
performance to that of the Lehman Brothers New Jersey Municipal Bond
Index with Port Authority of NY/NJ, a market value -weighted
index of New Jersey investment-grade municipal bonds, including Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey bonds, with maturities of one
year or more. Issues included in each index have been issued
after December 31, 1990 and have an outstanding par value of at least
$50 million. Subsequent to December 31, 1995, zero coupon bonds and
issues subject to the alternative minimum tax are included in each
index.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions.
Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For
example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential
returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee your principal or your
return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the
same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to
that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made
available in the future.
Each money market fund may compare its performance or the
performance of securities in which it may invest to averages published
by IBC Financial Data, Inc. of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages
assume reinvestment of distributions. IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT
AVERAGES(trademark)/All Tax-Free, which is reported in IBC's MONEY
FUND REPORT(trademark), covers over 448 tax-free money market
funds.
The bond fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative
advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual
municipal bond. Unlike municipal bond mutual funds, individual
municipal bonds offer a stated rate of interest and, if held to
maturity, repayment of principal. Although some individual municipal
bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer the reduced risk
of a mutual fund that invests in many different securities. The sales
charges of many municipal bond mutual funds are lower than the
purchase cost of individual municipal bonds, which are generally
subject to direct brokerage costs.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. A bond fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare a fund's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data. In advertising, a bond fund may also discuss or illustrate
examples of interest rate sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate price movements over specific periods of
time for a bond fund. Each point on the momentum indicator represents
the fund's percentage change in price movements over that
period.
A bond fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic
investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In
such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
As of November 30, 1998, FMR advised over $ 33 billion in
municipal fund assets, $ 118 billion in taxable fixed-income
fund assets, $ 122 billion in money market fund assets, $ 465
billion in equity fund assets, $ 13 billion in international
fund assets, and $ 28 billion in Spartan fund assets. The funds
may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and
the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity
funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity
fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in
the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund
manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide
information and communications network for the purpose of researching
and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as
federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund are
also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are taxable as
dividends, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.
Each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR believes
is free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other parties
have entered into covenants requiring continuing compliance with
federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest
payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants
are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the
issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest
payments from a security could become federally taxable retroactive to
the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured
securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may
also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.
Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although the interest continues
to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest
from private activity securities will be considered tax-exempt for
purposes of each fund's policies of investing so that at least 80% of
its income is free from federal income tax. Interest from private
activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes of
determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of
AMT to be paid, if any.
A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount
after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income,
not as capital gains. Dividends resulting from a recharacterization of
gain from the sale of bonds purchased at market discount after April
30, 1993 are not considered income for purposes of each fund's policy
of investing so that at least 80% of its income is free from federal
income tax.
NEW JERSEY TAX CONSEQUENCES. In order to pass through tax-exempt
interest and dividends for New Jersey Gross Income Tax purposes, among
other requirements, at the close of each quarter of the tax year, the
fund must have not less than 80% of the aggregate principal amount of
the fund's investments (excluding financial options, futures, forward
contracts and similar financial instruments relating to
interest-bearing obligations) invested in obligations issued by New
Jersey or New Jersey local government entities or certain other
federal and New Jersey tax-exempt obligations of qualifying issuers
(the "80% Test"). In the event the fund does not meet the 80% Test,
distributions by the fund may be taxable to shareholders for
New Jersey Gross Income Tax purposes. However, regardless of
whether the fund meets the 80% Test, all distributions attributable to
interest earned on Federal obligations will be exempt from New Jersey
Gross Income Tax. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued
to purchase or carry fund shares is not deductible either for New
Jersey Gross Income Tax purposes or Federal income tax purposes to the
extent attributable to exempt-interest dividends. Exempt-interest
dividends and gains paid to a corporate shareholder will be subject to
the New Jersey Corporation Business (Franchise) Tax and the New Jersey
Corporation Income Tax (if applicable).
On February 21, 1997, the Tax Court of New Jersey ruled against the
Division of Taxation and held that distributions paid by mutual funds
are excepted from taxation by New Jersey to the extent that the
distributions are attributable to interest earned on U.S. government
obligations regardless of whether the 80% Test is met. As a result of
the court decision, the State of New Jersey could be forced to pay
substantial amounts in tax refunds to state residents who are mutual
fund investors. At this time the effect of this litigation cannot be
evaluated.
CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund's long-term
capital gains distributions are federally taxable to shareholders
generally as capital gains. Each money market fund may
distribute any net realized capital gains once a year or more often,
as necessary.
As of November 30, 199 8 , Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money
Market had a capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately
$ 70,00 0. This loss carryforward, of which $ 23,000 ,
$ 16,000, $2,000 and $ 29,000 will expire on November 30,
2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004 , respectively, is available to offset
future capital gains.
As of November 30, 1998, New Jersey Municipal Money Market had a
capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately $41,000. This loss
carryforward, of which $14,000 and $27,000 will expire on November 30,
2003 and 2005, respectively, is available to offset future capital
gains.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal
property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to
determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of
the trust are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund
and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The
Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout
the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual
arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, and
review each fund's performance. Except as indicated, each individual

* Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 1998
for 23 7 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the funds and Mr. Burkhead are compensated
by FMR.
A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred,
and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the
calendar year ended December 31, 1998 , the Trustees accrued
required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: Ralph F.
Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$ 75,000 ; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000;
William O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L.
Mann, $75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $ 55,039 ;
William O. McCoy, $55,039; Marvin L. Mann, $ 55,039 and
Thomas R. Williams, $6 3,433 .
B Compensation figures include cash.
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.
As of November 30, 1998 , the Trustees, Members of the Advisory
Board, and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than
1 % of each fund's total outstanding shares.
CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS
FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR
and FIMM. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all
employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
For example, all personal trades in most securities require
pre-clearance, and participation in initial public offerings is
prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the timing of personal
investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term
trading have been adopted.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to
which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of
each fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical
and investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the
registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES (NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET.) In
addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent and
pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund pays all of its expenses that
are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting,
printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal
expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor and non-interested
Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the
fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses,
statements of additional information, notices, and reports to
shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer
agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of providing these
services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid by the fund
include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES (SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET
AND SPARTAN NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL INCOME.) Under the terms of its
management contract with each fund, FMR is responsible for payment of
all operating expenses of each fund with certain exceptions. Specific
expenses payable by FMR include expenses for typesetting, printing,
and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of
the custodian, auditor and interested Trustees, each fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. Each fund's management contract further provides that FMR will
pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of
additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however,
under the terms of each fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer
agent bears the costs of providing these services to existing
shareholders. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent,
dividend disbursing, and shareholder services , and pricing and
bookkeeping services.
FMR pays all other expenses of Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money
Market and Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income with the following
exceptions: fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees,
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), and such nonrecurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a
fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEES. For the services of FMR under each management
contract, Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market and Spartan New
Jersey Municipal Income each pays FMR a monthly management fee at the
annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, of the fund's average
net assets throughout the month.
The management fee paid to FMR by Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money
Market and Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income is reduced by an amount
equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested
Trustees.
For the services of FMR under the management contract, New Jersey
Municipal Money Market pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two
components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $ 643 billion of group net assets - the approximate
level for November 1998 - was .1333 %, which is the weighted
average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets
up to $ 643 billion.
The individual fund fee rate for New Jersey Municipal Money Market is
0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by
FMR for November 1998, the fund's annual management fee rate would be
calculated as follows:

Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate

NJ Muni Money Market 0.1333% + 0.25% = 0.3833%

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's
average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the
fee for that month.

** Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market's fiscal year end changed
from October 31 to November 30 effective November 30, 1997.
*** One month p eriod ended November 30, 1997.
During the reporting period, FMR voluntarily modified the breakpoints
in the group fee rate schedule on January 1, 1996 to provide for lower
management fee rates as FMR's assets under management increase.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
a fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses) which is subject to revision
or termination. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense
reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior
to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a fund's returns and
yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a fund will lower its
returns and yield.
During the past three fiscal years, FMR voluntarily agreed to
reimburse Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market if and to the
extent that the fund's aggregate operating expenses, including
management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of its average net
assets. The table below shows the periods of reimbursement and levels
of expense limitations ; the dollar amount of management fees incurred

SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM
pursuant to which FIMM has primary responsibility for choosing
investments for the funds. Previously, FMR Texas Inc. (FMR Texas) had
primary responsibility for providing investment management services to
the money market funds. On January 23, 1998, FMR Texas was
merged into FIMM, which succeeded to the operations of FMR Texas.
Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, FMR pays FIMM fees
equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management
contract with each fund. The fees paid to FIMM are not reduced by any
voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect
from time to time.
Fees paid to FMR Texas by FMR on behalf of Spartan New Jersey
Municipal Money Market and New Jersey Municipal Money Market for the
past three fiscal years are shown in the table below.

On behalf of Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market and New Jersey
Municipal Money Market, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998,
FMR paid FIMM fees of $ 1,109,713 and $ 886,267 ,
respectively.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements
call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses
in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the funds of distribution expenses.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares.
FMR made no payments either directly or through FDC to intermediaries
for the fiscal year ended 19 9 8.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other
than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To
the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the funds might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.
TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS
Each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with UMB, which
is located at 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. Under the
terms of the agreements, UMB provides transfer agency, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder services for each fund. UMB in turn has
entered into sub-transfer agent agreements with FSC, an affiliate of
FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FSC performs all
processing activities associated with providing these services for
each fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to UMB.
For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account fee

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income Fund is
a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust, an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
April 21, 1977. Currently, there are four funds in Fidelity Court
Street Trust: Spartan Municipal Income Fund, Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Income Fund, Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income Fund, and
Spartan Florida Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to
create additional funds in the trust.
Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund and Fidelity
New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund are funds of
Fidelity Court Street Trust II, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. Prior
to January 10, 1998, Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market
Fund was a fund of Fidelity Beacon Street Trust, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust
on June 19, 1979. Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market
Fund acquired all of the assets of Fidelity New Jersey Tax-Free
Money Market Portfolio, a series of Fidelity Court Street
Trust , on February 28, 1992 pursuant to an agreement approved
by shareholders on December 11, 1991. Currently, there are five funds
of Fidelity Court Street Trust II: Fidelity Connecticut Municipal
Money Market Fund, Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund,
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund, Spartan New Jersey
Municipal Money Market Fund, and Spartan Florida Municipal Money
Market Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in
the trust.
The assets of the Massachusetts trust received for the issue or sale
of shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund in the Massachusetts trust shall be
charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund.
Any general expenses of the Massachusetts trust shall be allocated
between or among any one or more of its funds.
The assets of the Delaware trust received for the issue or sale of
shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund in the Delaware trust shall be charged
with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any
general expenses of the Delaware trust shall be allocated between or
among any one or more of its funds.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. The Massachusetts trust
is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
trust.
The Declaration of Trust provides that the Massachusetts trust shall
not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the
purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation,
or instrument entered into or executed by the Massachusetts trust or
its Trustees relating to the trust shall include a provision limiting
the obligations created thereby to the Massachusetts trust and its
assets.
The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each
fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of
his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his
or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY - DELAWARE TRUST. The Delaware trust is a
business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides
that shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations
for profit. The courts of some states, however, may decline to apply
Delaware law on this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities,
obligations, and expenses of the Delaware trust. The Trust Instrument
provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires
that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or
executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a
fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets.
The Trust Instrument further provides that shareholders of a fund
shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any
other fund.
The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's
property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally
liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her
being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts
or omissions or for some other reason. The Trust Instrument also
provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no
contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and a fund is
unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the
above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely
remote.
VOTING RIGHTS - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. Each fund's capital consists of
shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to
one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights
of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may
be voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.
The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by a vote of
shareholders of the trust or the fund. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are
entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for
distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a
fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to receive the underlying
assets of the fund available for distribution.
VOTING RIGHTS - DELAWARE TRUST. Each fund's capital consists of shares
of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote
for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of
shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be
voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.
The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally
such terminations must be approved by a vote of shareholders. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of
each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of
such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of a fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to
receive the underlying assets of the fund available for distribution.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder
vote, in order to change the form of organization of the trust cause
the trust to merge or consolidate with one or more trusts,
partnerships, associations, limited liability companies or
corporations, as long as the surviving entity is an open-end
management investment company, or is a fund thereof, that will succeed
to or assume the trust's registration statement, or cause the trust to
incorporate under Delaware law.
CUSTODIAN. UMB Bank, n.a., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri,
is custodian of the assets of the funds. The custodian is responsible
for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any
subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and members
of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain
funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LL P, One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts serves as the trusts' independent
accountant. The auditor examines financial statements for the funds
and provides other audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended November 30 , 1998, and report(s) of the
auditor, are included in each fund's Annual Report and are
incorporated herein by reference.

FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a
level of current income exempt from federal income tax, as is
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment
strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in municipal money market
securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing at least 65% of total assets in
municipal securities exempt from the Florida intangible tax.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of fund's income
distributions is exempt from federal income tax.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Investing in compliance with industry-standard
requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and
diversification of investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The municipal market
is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax,
legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the
issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a money market security to decrease.
(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Entities located in foreign
countries can be affected by adverse political, regulatory, market or
economic developments in those countries.
(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Unfavorable political
or economic conditions within Florida can affect the credit quality of
issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. A decline in the credit
quality of an issuer or the provider of credit support or a
maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a
money market security to decrease.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the fund.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks a high level of
current income, exempt from federal income tax.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR's principal investment strategies include:
(small solid bullet) Investing normally in investment-grade municipal
debt securities.
(small solid bullet) Investing at least 65% of total assets in
municipal securities exempt from the Florida intangible tax.
(small solid bullet) Investing so that at least 80% of fund's income
distributions is exempt from federal income tax.
(small solid bullet) Potentially investing more than 25% of total
assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of
projects.
(small solid bullet) Managing the fund to have similar overall
interest rate risk to the Lehman Brothers Florida Municipal Bond
Index.
(small solid bullet) Allocating assets across different market sectors
and maturities.
(small solid bullet) Analyzing a security's structural features,
current pricing and trading opportunities, and the credit quality of
its issuer in selecting investments.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:
(small solid bullet) MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. The municipal market
is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax,
legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the
issuers of municipal securities.
(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Unfavorable political
or economic conditions within Florida can affect the credit quality of
issuers located in that state.
(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently than
the value of the market as a whole.
In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a
greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single
issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would
occur in a more diversified fund.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax, as is consistent with
preservation of capital and liquidity.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FMR normally invests the fund's assets in municipal money market
securities.
FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in
municipal securities exempt from the Florida intangible tax and
invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of the fund's income
distributions is exempt from federal income tax. Municipal
securities exempt from the Florida intangible tax and whose
interest is exempt from federal income tax include securities issued
by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands
and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public
corporations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities subject to
the Florida intangible tax, but expects the fund to be exempt from the
Florida intangible tax. To achieve exemption, FMR would try to sell on
or before the last business day of the calendar year any assets not
exempt from the Florida intangible tax. As a result, the fund could
receive a lower price for the assets sold or incur additional costs or
taxable capital gains. Although FMR does not currently intend to
invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is
subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets
in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax.
FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal
securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to
education, health care, transportation and utilities.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR
stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity and income.

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal
securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to
education, health care, transportation and utilities.
FMR uses the Lehman Brothers Florida Municipal Bond Index as a guide
in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the
fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. As of
November 30, 1998, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund
and the index was approximately 11.3 and 13.9 years,
respectively.
FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for
example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a
specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the
relative value of each sector and maturity.
Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a
security's structural features, current price compared to its
estimated long-term value, and any short-term trading
opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit
quality of its issuer.
FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling
futures contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to
changing security prices, interest rates or other factors that affect
security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund
may not achieve its objective.
DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term debt securities
that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are
often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments
for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity
restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities
have demand or put features which have the effect of shortening the
security's maturity. Municipal money market securities include
variable rate demand notes, commercial paper and municipal notes.
DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest,
but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt
securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local
or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds or
pre-refunded or escrowed bonds.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
and private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility.
Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local
government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or
anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by
domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters
of credit, guarantees or insurance.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
Many factors affect each fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates
each fund's investments in Florida, the fund's performance is expected
to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that
state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more
geographically diversified fund.
The money market fund's yield will change daily based on changes in
interest rates and other market conditions. Although the fund is
managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee
that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in
interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of
one of the fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to go
down. While the fund will be charged premiums by a mutual insurance
company for coverage of specified types of losses related to default
or bankruptcy on certain securities, the fund may incur losses
regardless of the insurance.
The bond fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in
interest rates and market conditions and in response to other
economic, political or financial developments. The fund's reaction to
these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of the
securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition,
industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer,
and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.
The following factors may significantly affect a fund's performance:
MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. Municipal securities can be significantly
affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the
municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the
rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal
securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities,
conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market.
In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual
municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market.
INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt and money market securities have varying
levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the
price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates
rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer
maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other
words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a
change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In
addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities
tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term
securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Entities located in foreign countries that provide
credit support or a maturity-shortening structure can involve
increased risks. Extensive public information about the provider may
not be available and unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments could affect the value of the security.
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Because of the importance of foreign trade,
agriculture, construction, and tourism in Florida, the State's economy
is sensitive to trends in these industries.
ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of issuer, and changes in general economic or
political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an
issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than
investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to these changes
than higher-quality debt securities. Entities providing credit support
or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types
of changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated
revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively
affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project
or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from
the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a
municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could become taxable and the security could
decline significantly in value. In addition, if the structure of a
security fails to function as intended, interest from the security
could become taxable or the security could decline in value.
In response to market, economic, political or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's
performance, and a fund may distribute income subject to federal
income tax or be subject to the Florida intangible tax.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES
The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to
change only by shareholder approval.
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a
level of current income, exempt from federal income tax, as is
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in
high-quality, short-term municipal obligations. The fund will normally
invest so that at least 80% of its income distributions are free from
federal income tax.
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks the highest level
of current income, exempt from federal income tax, available from
municipal bonds judged by FMR to be of investment-grade quality. The
fund may also invest a portion of its assets in bonds rated below
investment-grade quality. The fund will normally invest so that at
least 80% of its income distributions are free from federal income
tax.
VALUING SHARES
Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or
as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) . Each
fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing
the fund's NAV.
To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund
is open for business.
The money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized
cost.
The bond fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of
information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If
market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service are
not readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that
security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees
believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation
may differ depending on the method used for determining
value.

BUYING SHARES
The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's
shares are sold without a sales charge.
Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your
investment is received in proper form.
Short-term or excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm
performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by
increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase
orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or
investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or
excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to
the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading
history in the fund or other Fidelity f unds, and accounts under
common ownership or control.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only
on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.

be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or
Fidelity has incurred.
Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements
with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed
purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to
follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the following
business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will
be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.

KEY INFORMATION

SELLING SHARES
The price to sell one share of Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market
is the fund's NAV. The price to sell one share of Spartan Florida
Municipal Income is the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee
(short-term trading fee), if applicable.
Spartan Florida Municipal Income will deduct a short-term trading fee
of 0.50% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after
holding them less than 180 days. This fee is paid to the fund rather
than Fidelity, and is designed to offset the brokerage commissions,
market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund
asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.
If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest
will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the
short-term trading fee applies. The short-term trading fee does not
apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of
distributions.
Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order
is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if
applicable.

authorized under state law), securities exchange or association,
clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot
provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

least $5,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open, except

delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your
redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to
seven business days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are
available at Fidelity's Web site. To participate in Fidelity's
electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's Web
site for more information.
You may initiate many TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONICALLY.
Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures
designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity
recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You
should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately
after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and

When you sign your ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct

on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after
September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will
not be deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts
(except non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular
investment plans, or if total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000.
Eligibility for the $30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating

which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
If your ACCOUNT BALANCE falls below $10,000 for Spartan Florida

30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not
increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the
trading fee, if applicable, on the day your account is closed and, for
Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market, the $5.00 account closeout fee
will be charged.
The FEES FOR INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS (except the short-term trading
fee) are waived if your account balance at the time of the transaction
is $50,000 or more. Otherwise, you should note the following:
(small solid bullet) The $2.00 checkwriting fee will be deducted from
your account.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 exchange fee will be deducted from the
amount of your exchange.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 wire transaction fee will be deducted
from the amount of your wire.

exchanges or wires.
Fidelity may charge a FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
Each fund earns interest, dividends and other income from its
investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to
shareholders as dividends. Each fund may also realize capital gains
from its investments, and distributes these gains (less losses), if
any, to shareholders as capital gains distributions.
The bond fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.
The bond fund normally pays capital gains distributions in January and
December.
Distributions you receive from the money market fund consist primarily
of dividends. The money market fund normally declares dividends daily
and pays them monthly.
EARNING DIVIDENDS
Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the
day of purchase.
Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day
following the day of redemption.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. The following options may be available for
each fund's distributions:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional
shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.
1. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. (bond fund only) Your capital gains
distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of
the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.
1. CASH OPTION. Your dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any, will be paid in cash.
1. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividends
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gains distributions, if any,
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional
shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, call Fidelity.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the
U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution
option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not
receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution
checks.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax
consequences for you.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund seeks to earn income and pay
dividends exempt from federal income tax, and also seeks exemption of
fund shares from the Florida intangible tax.
Each fund has received a ruling from the Florida Department of Revenue
that, if at the close of business on the last business day of any
calendar year, the fund's assets consist solely of those exempt from
Florida intangible tax, shares of the fund owned by Florida residents
will be exempt from the tax. Items exempt from the Florida intangible
tax include Florida municipal obligations, certain obligations of the
U.S. Government or its agencies, territories and possessions, and
cash. In the event a fund owns any asset on that day that is subject
to the Florida intangible tax, all or a portion of the value of the
fund's shares will be subject to the tax.
A portion of each fund's income, and the dividends you receive, may be
subject to federal and state income taxes. Each fund's income may be
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Each fund may also
realize taxable income or gains on the sale of municipal bonds and may
make taxable distributions.
For federal tax purposes, each fund's distributions of short-term
capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market
discount are taxable to you as ordinary income. Each fund's
distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you
generally as capital gains.
If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized
in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as
a return of capital to shareholders for tax purposes. A return of
capital will generally not be taxable to you, but will reduce the cost
basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a
lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the
full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price
back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally
be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your
distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or
to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity
fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but
those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on
December 31.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your bond fund redemptions, including
exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax
purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund is the
difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.
FUND SERVICES

FUND MANAGEMENT
Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal.
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is each fund's manager.
As of April 30, 1998, FMR had approximately $529 billion in
discretionary assets under management.
As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the funds' investments
and handling their business affairs.
Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), in Merrimack, New
Hampshire, serves as sub-adviser for each fund. FIMM is
primarily responsible for choosing investments for each fund.
FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of May 1, 1998, FIMM had
approximately $99 billion in discretionary assets under
management.
A fund could be adversely affected if the computer systems used by FMR
and other service providers do not properly process and calculate
date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. FMR has
advised each fund that it is actively working on necessary changes to
its computer systems and expects that its systems, and those of other
major service providers, will be modified prior to January 1, 2000.
However, there can be no assurance that there will be no adverse
impact on a fund.
Christine Thompson is Vice President and manager of Spartan Florida
Municipal Income, which she has managed since July 1998. She also
manages several other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1985,
Ms. Thompson has worked as a senior analyst and portfolio manager.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Each fund pays a management fee to FMR.
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays
all of the other expenses of each fund with limited exceptions.
Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market and Spartan Florida Municipal
Income's annual management fee rate is 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively,
of its average net assets.
FMR pays FIMM for providing assistance with investment advisory
services.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for
management fees above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be
repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to
the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be
terminated by FMR at any time, can decrease a fund's expenses and
boost its performance.
FUND DISTRIBUTION
FDC distributes each fund's shares.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that
FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits
or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses
incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in
the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR,
directly or through FDC, may pay intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized
such payments.
To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of a fund provided that the fund receives
brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this Prospectus and in the related
Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the funds or FDC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do
not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell or to buy
shares of the funds to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such
offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may
be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.
A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, the fund
would not comply with any applicable diversification requirements for
a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the
rules thereunder, as such may be amended from time to time;
(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the
insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise
permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a
U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a
political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more
than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
companies whose principal business activities are in the same
industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objectives, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund does not
currently intend to purchase the securities of any issuer (other than
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its
agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other money market
funds) if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund's total assets would
be invested in the securities of that issuer.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (3)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
with substantially the same fundamental investment objective,
policies, and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (5) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of
a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the
issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For purposes of limitation (i), certain securities subject to
guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand
features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are
subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with
industry standard requirements for money market funds.
With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except in connection with the
insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise
permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;
(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a
U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a
political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more
than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
companies whose principal business activities are in the same
industry;
(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or
(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits
imposed by Subchapter M.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (2)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot
be sold or d isposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
with substantially the same fundamental investment objective,
policies, and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the
fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of
any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that
no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities
of any one issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments
in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter
M) and securities of other investment companies. These tax
requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the
fund's taxable year.
For purposes of limitation (4) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer
of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying
the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 36.
The following pages contain more detailed information about the types
of instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ
in pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve
its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of purchase
contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing
the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit,
surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security
values may also be affected by other factors including changes in
interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool
and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the
pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities
providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be
subject to prepayment risk.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in
cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase
agreements or shares of money market funds. Generally, these
securities offer less potential for gains than other types of
securities.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS are money market funds managed by FMR or its
affiliates that seek to earn a high level of current income (free from
federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The funds comply with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity and diversification of their investments.
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying the value
of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these
calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's
portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a
stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to
this rule.
For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will
take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call,
refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument
will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be
its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call
an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account
that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the
number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to
be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures
Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options,
Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options
positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction
costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in
options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a
specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price
at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer
and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures
contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury
bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices,
such as or the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index. Futures can be held
until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a
liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The bond fund has
filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the
term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the bond fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts,
purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than
25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and
options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or
write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon
settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put
options would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call
options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call
options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total
assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or
acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do
not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.
The above limitations on the bond fund's investments in futures
contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures
contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed
as regulatory agencies permit.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility
to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve
greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed
by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation
to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the
other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek
to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out
the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the
secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer
must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on
a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to
an FCM as described above for futures contracts.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may
be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume
of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it
trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics
and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other
credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the
method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the
security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and
obligations of the security).
INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to the
prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial
indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt
securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is
determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed
securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that
depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon
rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points
for every 1% interest rate change.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security or other instrument to which they are
indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments.
Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated
with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline
substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal
funds currently intend to participate in this program only as
borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs
are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund
borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration
of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may
have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund
loan is called or not renewed.
INVERSE FLOATERS have variable interest rates that typically move in
the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term
interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest
rates fall, and vice versa. The prices of inverse floaters can be
considerably more volatile than the prices of bonds with comparable
maturities.
INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Investment-grade debt securities are
medium and high-quality securities. Some may possess speculative
characteristics and may be more s ensitive to economic changes
and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security
is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade
by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., or Fitch IBCA Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities have poor
protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of
principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered
to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of
lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of
higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity
of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.
A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security
holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it
determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. The money market fund participates in a mutual
insurance company solely with other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. This company provides insurance coverage for losses on
certain money market instruments held by a participating fund
(eligible instruments), including losses from nonpayment of principal
or interest or a bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer or credit
support provider, if any. The insurance does not cover losses
resulting from changes in interest rates or other market developments.
The money market fund is charged an annual premium for the insurance
coverage and may be subject to a special assessment of up to
approximately two and one-half times the fund's annual gross premium
if covered losses exceed certain levels. A participating fund may
recover no more than $100 million annually, including all other claims
of insured funds, and may only recover if the amount of the loss
exceeds 0.30% of its eligible instruments. The money market fund may
incur losses regardless of the insurance.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations.
Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust
or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market
funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of
a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance
price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse
tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled
definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured
securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could
adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income
received from these securities or the nature and timing of
distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL INSURANCE. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that
guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of
principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the
issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or
(ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market
insurance).
Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and
scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a
municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a
municipal bond to its maturity, enhancing its credit quality and
value.
Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations
or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond
insurance policy will not cover: ( i) repayment of a municipal
bond before maturity (redemption), ( ii) prepayment or payment
of an acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund
redemption) or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances
the maturity of the bond, or ( iii) nonpayment of principal or
interest caused by negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A
mandatory sinking fund redemption may be a provision of a municipal
bond issue whereby part of the municipal bond issue may be retired
before maturity.
Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and
outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, an
event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a
significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by
that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole.
FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default,
or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds
a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest
payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal
from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection
with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.
PRINCIPAL MUNICIPAL BOND INSURERS. The various insurance companies
providing primary and secondary market insurance policies for
municipal bonds are described below. Ratings reflect each respective
rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of an insurer and
the insurer's ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the
time of the assessment.
Ambac Assurance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial
Group Inc., is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S.
states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Bonds insured by Ambac Assurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's
Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Connie Lee Insurance Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connie Lee
Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Assurance
Corp. All losses incurred by Connie Lee Insurance Co. that would cause
its statutory capital to drop below $75 million would be covered by
Ambac Assurance Corp. Connie Lee Insurance Co. is authorized to
provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia,
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Connie Lee
Insurance Co. are rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. (FGIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
GE Capital Services, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50
U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Bonds insured by FGIC are
rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard &
Poor's.
Financial Security Assurance Inc. (FSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Financial Security Assurance Holdings Ltd., is authorized to provide
bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and three
U.S. territories. Bonds insured by FSA are rated "Aaa" by Moody's
Investor Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corp. (MBIA Insurance Corp.), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc., a publicly-owned company, is
authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds
insured by MBIA Insurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investor
Service and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the form
of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract
and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to
acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally,
a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the
property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal
obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest
gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation
in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the
issue.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated
with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and
statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must
meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate
limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or
conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the
leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a
means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment
without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for
the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include
"non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has
no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis.
Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance
limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its
obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or
become taxable.
MUNICIPAL MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities
may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to
legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal
securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event
of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income
tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced
before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced
before the Florida legislature that would affect the state tax
treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were
enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a
municipal fund's holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers
could produce varying results among the states or among municipal
securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could
affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific
segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular
securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on
the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund,
making it more difficult for a money market fund to maintain a stable
net asset value per share (NAV).
ELECTRIC UTILITIES. The electric utilities industry has been
experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive
pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open
transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not
presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks
include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability
and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand,
(d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and
licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local
regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f)
opposition to nuclear power.
HEALTH CARE. The health care industry is subject to regulatory action
by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal,
state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for
the health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative
changes and reductions in governmental spending for such programs.
Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as general and
local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses (including
malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among health care
providers. In the future, the following elements may adversely affect
health care facility operations: adoption of legislation proposing a
national health insurance program; other state or local health care
reform measures; medical and technological advances which dramatically
alter the need for health services or the way in which such services
are delivered; changes in medical coverage which alter the traditional
fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by employers, insurers,
and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of health insurance and
health care services.
HOUSING. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state,
county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They
generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased
with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to
predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the
proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying
mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed
supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner
repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect
the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable
completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent
levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and
regulations.
TRANSPORTATION. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the
construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit
facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of
the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who
uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader
economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of
fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability
of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and
the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability
also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the
presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public
transportation.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer
or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange
for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities
with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is
unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers
often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining
letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand
features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a
purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and
yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years
in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the
full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding
contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment
of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its
obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a
letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the
refunding contract.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal restrictions on their sale.
Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to
a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately
negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.
Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security
may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a
considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek
registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under
an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's
yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various
forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of
credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided
by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit or
liquidity enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a
security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a
foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether
adequate public information about the entity is available and whether
the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic
developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that
might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the
credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect
the value of the security or a fund's share price.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS are puts that entitle holders to same-day
settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the
underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of
exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the
liquidity of portfolio securities.
Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third
party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a
third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments
separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities
subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a
higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to
maturity.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or
other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand.
FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining
whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In
evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate
public information about the bank is available and whether the bank
may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments,
currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might
affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.
Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the
ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the
time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments
are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities
of the underlying securities may be different from those of the
commitments.
TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES. Each fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial
amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more that normally permitted
in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.
TENDER OPTION BONDS are created by coupling an intermediate- or
long-term, fixed-rate, municipal bond (generally held pursuant to a
custodial arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder
the option to tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for
providing the tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank,
broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees
equal to the difference between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the
rate (determined by a remarketing or similar agent) that would cause
the bond, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date
of such determination. After payment of the tender option fee, a fund
effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the
prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. In selecting tender option
bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the
underlying bond, the custodian, and the third party provider of the
tender option. In certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender
option if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on
interest payments.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments
in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities
provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
while floating rate securities have interest rates that change
whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate. Some
variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features
that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance
plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial
intermediaries.
In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender
options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put)
the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the
principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this
fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable
rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these
instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third
party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in
trust or otherwise may have similar features.
WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS involve a
commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined
price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the
customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the
purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the
risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security
will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities
is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition
to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains
substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding,
the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a
security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not
participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security.
If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver
or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or
yield opportunity or suffer a loss.
A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may
sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in
capital gains or losses for the fund.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make interest payments; instead, they are
sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of
fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a
fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon
bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FLORIDA
THE STATE BUDGET. The State operates under an annual budget. Under the
State Constitution and applicable statutes, the State budget as a
whole and each separate fund within the State budget must be kept in
balance from currently available revenues during each State fiscal
year. (The State's fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30.) The
Governor and the Comptroller of the State are charged with the
responsibility of ensuring that sufficient revenues are collected to
meet appropriations and that no deficit occurs in any State fund.
The financial operations of the State covering all receipts and
expenditures are maintained through the use of four types of
funds : the General Revenue Fund, Trust Funds, Working Capital
Fund and Budget Stabilization Fund. The majority of the State's tax
revenues are deposited in the General Revenue Fund and moneys for all
funds are expended pursuant to appropriations acts. In fiscal year
199 6 -199 7 , expenditures for education, health and
welfare, and public safety represented approximately 5 3 %,
26 %, and 14% , respectively, of expenditures from the
General Revenue Fund. The Trust Funds consist of moneys received by
the State which, under law or trust agreement, are segregated for a
purpose authorized by law. Revenues in the General Revenue Fund
exceeding the amount needed to meet appropriations may be transferred
to the Working Capital Fund.
REVENUES. Estimated revenues of $16,877.6 million for 1997-98
represent an increase of 7.2% over revenues for 1996-97. Estimated
revenues for 1998-1999 of $17,627.0 million represent an increase of
4.4% over 1997-1998.
In fiscal year 1996-1997, the State derived approximately 67% of
its total direct revenues for deposit in the General Revenue Fund,
Trust Funds, and Working Capital Fund from State taxes and fees.
Federal grants and other special revenues account for the remaining
revenues. The greatest single source of tax receipts in the State is
the 6% sales and use tax. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,
receipts from the sales and use tax totaled $12,089 million, an
increase of approximately 5.5% over fiscal year 1995-96. The second
largest source of State tax receipts is the tax on motor fuels
including the tax receipts distributed to local governments. Receipts
from the taxes on motor fuels are almost entirely dedicated to trust
funds for specific purposes and are not included in the General
Revenue Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, preliminary
data estimate the collections of this tax in the amount of $2,012
million.
The State currently does not impose a personal income tax. However,
the State does impose a corporate income tax on the net income of
corporations, organizations, associations, and other artificial
entities for the privilege of conducting business, deriving income, or
existing within the State. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
199 7 , receipts from the corporate income tax totaled
$ 1,362.3 million, an increase of approximately 17.2 %
from fiscal year 199 5 -9 6 . The Documentary Stamp Tax
collections totaled $ 844.2 million during fiscal year
199 6 -9 7 , an increase of approximately 8.9 % over
fiscal year 199 5 -9 6 . The Alcoholic Beverage Tax, an
excise tax on beer, wine, and liquor, totaled $ 447.2 million in
fiscal year ended June 30, 199 7 . The Florida lottery produced
sales of $2.0 9 billion of which $7 92.3 million was used
for education in fiscal year 199 6 -9 7 .
While the state does not levy ad valorem taxes on real property or
tangible personal property, counties, municipalities, and school
districts are authorized by law, and special districts may be
authorized by law, to levy ad valorem taxes. Under the State
Constitution, ad valorem taxes may not be levied by counties,
municipalities, school districts, and water management districts in
excess of the following respective millages upon the assessed value of
real estate and tangible personal property: for all county, all
municipal, and all school purposes, 10 mills; and for water management
districts, either 0.05 mill or 1.0 mill, depending upon geographic
location. These millage limitations do not apply to taxes levied for
payment of bonds and taxes levied for periods not longer than two
years when authorized by a vote of the electors. (Note: one mill
equals one-tenth of one cent.)
The State Constitution and statutes provide for the exemption of
homesteads from certain taxes. The homestead exemption is an exemption
from all taxation, except for assessments for special benefits, up to
a specific amount of the assessed valuation of the homestead. This
exemption is available to every person who has the legal or equitable
title to real estate and maintains thereon his or her permanent home.
A $25,000 homestead exemption from levies by all taxing authorities is
allowed for every person who is entitled to the foregoing exemption.
However, such exemption is subject to change upon voter approval.
As of January 9, 1999, property valuations for homestead property
are subject to a growth cap. G rowth in the assessed value of
property qualifying for the homestead exemption will be limited to the
lesser of 3% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index during the
relevant year, except in the event of a change of ownership or
homestead status thereof during such year, and except as to
improvements thereto during such year.
Since municipalities, counties, school districts, and other special
purpose units of local governments with power to issue general
obligation bonds have authority to increase the millage levy for voter
approved general obligation debt to the amount necessary to satisfy
the related debt service requirements, the growth cap is not
expected to adversely affect the ability of these entities to pay the
principal of or interest on such general obligation bonds. However, in
periods of high inflation, those local government units whose
operating millage levies are approaching the constitutional cap and
whose tax base consists largely of residential real estate, may need
to place greater reliance on non-ad valorem revenue sources to meet
their operating budget needs.
At the November 1994 general election, voters approved an amendment to
the State Constitution that limits the amount of taxes, fees,
licenses, and charges imposed by the Legislature and collected during
any fiscal year to no more than the average annual growth rate in
Florida personal income over the past five years. The revenue limit is
determined by multiplying the average annual rate of growth in Florida
personal income over the previous five years times the maximum amount
of state revenues permitted under the caps for the prior fiscal year.
The revenues allowed for any fiscal year can be increased by a
two-thirds vote of both houses of the Legislature. The limit was
effective with the start of fiscal year 1995-96. Any excess revenues
generated are deposited in the Budget Stabilization Fund. Included
among the categories of revenues which are exempt from the proposed
revenue limitation, however, are revenues pledged to State bonds.
STATE BONDS. The State Constitution does not permit the State to issue
debt obligations to fund governmental operations. Generally, the State
Constitution authorizes State bonds pledging the full faith and credit
of the State only to finance or refinance the cost of State fixed
capital outlay projects, upon approval by a vote of the electors, and
provided that the total outstanding principal amount of such bonds
does not exceed 50% of the total tax revenues of the State for the two
preceding fiscal years. Revenue bonds may be issued by the State or
its agencies without a vote of the electors only to finance or
refinance the cost of State fixed capital outlay projects which are
payable solely from funds derived directly from sources other than
State tax revenues.
Exceptions to the general provisions regarding the full faith and
credit pledge of the State are contained in specific provisions of the
State Constitution which authorize the pledge of the full faith and
credit of the State, without electorate approval, but subject to
specific coverage requirements, for certain road projects, county
education projects, State higher education projects, the State system
of public education, construction of air and water pollution control
and abatement facilities, solid waste disposal facilities, certain
other water facilities, acquisition or real property or rights thereto
for state roads and certain State bridge construction.
LOCAL BONDS. The State Constitution provides that counties, school
districts, municipalities, special districts, and local governmental
bodies with taxing powers may issue debt obligations payable from ad
valorem taxation and maturing more than 12 months after issuance, only
(i) to finance or refinance capital projects authorized by law,
provided that electorate approval is obtained; or (ii) to refund
outstanding debt obligations and interest and redemption premium
thereon at a lower net average interest cost rate.
Counties, municipalities, and special districts are authorized to
issue revenue bonds to finance a variety of self-liquidating projects
pursuant to the laws of the State. Such revenue bonds are to be
secured by and payable from the rates, fees, tolls, rentals, and other
charges for the services and facilities furnished by the financed
projects. Under State law, counties and municipalities are permitted
to issue bonds payable from special tax sources for a variety of
purposes, and municipalities and special districts may issue special
assessment bonds.
THE STATE ECONOMY. The State has grown dramatically since 1980 and
ranks fourth among the 50 states with an estimated population of
14. 7 million. Since the beginning of the eighties, Florida has
surpassed Ohio, Illinois, and Pennsylvania in total population.
Because of the national recession, Florida's net migration declined
to 138,000 in 1992, but migration has since recovered and reached
255,000 in 1996. In recent years , the prime working age population
(18- 6 4) has grown at an average annual rate of more than
2.0 %. Florida's total working age population (18- 64 )
comprises about 60 % of the total state population. Non-farm
employment grew by approximately 21.2 % since 19 91 .
Services and trade are Florida's largest employment
sector s , and presently account for 34.9 % of total
non-farm employment. Manufacturing jobs in Florida are concentrated in
the area of high-tech and high value added sectors, such as electrical
and electronic equipment as well as printing and publishing. Florida's
dependence on highly cyclical construction and construction related
manufacturing has declined. Total contract construction employment as
a share of total non-farm employment has fallen from 10% in 1973 to
7.5% in 1980 to 5 .7 % in 199 7 . The non-farm job
creation rate for the State of Florida since 1987 is almost twice the
rate for the nation as a whole. Florida's unemployment rate throughout
most of the 1980's tracked below that of the nation's. In the nineties
the trend reversed until 1995, when the State's unemployment
rate again tracked below or about the same as the nation's. In
1997, Florida's rate of unemployment was 4.8% , while the
nation 's average wa s 4.9 %. Because Florida has a
proportionately greater retirement age population, property income
(dividends, interest, and rent) and transfer payments (social security
and pension benefits) are a relatively more important source of
income. A positive aspect of greater reliance on property income and
transfer payments is that they are less sensitive to the business
cycle and act as a stabilizing force in weak economic periods.
Personal income is frequently used to make comparisons among the
states. However, using personal income to compare Florida to other
states can be misleading, because Florida's personal income is
systematically underestimated. Current contributions by employers to
pension plans are included in personal income, while payments from
pension plans are excluded to avoid double counting. Because Florida
retirees are more likely to be collecting on benefits earned in
another state, Florida personal income is underestimated.
The ability of the State and its local units of government to repay
indebtedness may be affected by numerous factors which impact on the
economic vitality of the State in general and the particular region of
the State in which the issuer of the debt is located. South Florida is
particularly susceptible to international trade and currency
imbalances and to economic dislocations in Central and South America,
due to its geographical location and its involvement with foreign
trade, tourism, and investment capital. The central and northern
portions of the State are impacted by problems in the agricultural
sector, particularly with regard to the citrus and sugar industries.
Short-term adverse economic conditions may be created in these areas,
and in the State as a whole, due to crop failures, severe weather
conditions, or other agriculture-related problems. The State economy
also has historically been somewhat dependent on the tourism and
construction industries and is sensitive to trends in those sectors.
The foregoing information regarding the State and its local units of
government constitutes only a brief summary and does not purport to be
a complete description of the matters covered. This summary is based
solely upon information drawn from official statements relating to
offerings of general obligation bonds of the State and has not been
independently verified.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO
The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends
and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the
"Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn
from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities
offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, as
available on the date of this SAI. FMR has not independently verified
any of the information contained in such official statements,
prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware
of any fact that would render such information materially inaccurate.
The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United
States. In fiscal 1997, trade with the United States accounted for
approximately 88% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 62% of
its imports. In this regard, in fiscal 1997 Puerto Rico experienced a
$2.7 billion positive adjusted merchandise trade balance.
Since fiscal 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has
increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal 1997, aggregate
personal income was $32.1 billion ($30.0 billion in 1992 prices) and
personal per capita income was $8,509 ($7,957 in 1992 prices). Gross
product in fiscal 1993 was $25.1 billion ($24.5 billion in 1992
prices) and gross product in fiscal 1997 was $32.1 billion ($27.7
billion in 1992 prices). This represents an increase in gross product
of 27.7% from fiscal 1993 to 1997 (13.0% in 1992 prices).
Puerto Rico's economic expansion, which has lasted over ten years,
continued throughout the five-year period from fiscal 1993 through
fiscal 1997. Almost every sector of the economy participated, and
record levels of employment were achieved. Factors behind the
continued expansion included Government-sponsored economic development
programs, periodic declines in the exchange value of the U.S. dollar,
increases in the level of federal transfers, and the relatively low
cost of borrowing funds during the period.
Average employment increased from 999,000 in fiscal 1993 to 1,128,300
in fiscal 1997. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical
levels, remains above the U.S. average. Average unemployment decreased
from 16.8% in fiscal 1993 to 13.1% in fiscal 1997.
Manufacturing is the largest sector in the economy accounting for
$19.8 billion or 41.2% of gross domestic product in fiscal 1997. The
manufacturing sector employed 153,273 workers as of March 1997.
Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during
earlier phases of industrial development. In the last two decades
industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and
dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift is best exemplified by
heavy investment in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments,
computers, microprocessors, and electrical products over the last
decade. The service sector, which includes wholesale and retail trade
and finance, insurance, real estate, hotels and related services, and
other services, ranks second in its contribution to gross domestic
product and is the sector that employs the greatest number of people.
In fiscal 1997, the service sector generated $18.4 billion in gross
domestic product or 38.2% of the total. Employment in this sector grew
from 467,000 in fiscal 1993 to 551,000 in fiscal 1997, a cumulative
increase of 17.8%. This increase was greater than the 12.9% cumulative
growth in employment over the same period providing 48% of total
employment. The Government sector of the Commonwealth plays an
important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 1997, the
Government accounted for $5.2 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic
product and provided 10.9% of the total employment. The construction
industry has experienced real growth since fiscal 1987. In fiscal
1997, investment in construction rose to $4.7 billion, an increase of
14.7% as compared to $4.1 billion for fiscal 1996. Tourism also
contributes significantly to the island economy, accounting for $2.0
billion of gross domestic product in fiscal 1997.
The present administration has developed and is implementing a new
economic development program which is based on the premise that the
private sector should provide the primary impetus for economic
development and growth. This new program, which is referred to as the
New Economic Model, promotes changing the role of the Government from
one of being a provider of most basic services to that of a
facilitator for private sector initiatives and encourages private
sector investment by reducing Government-imposed regulatory
restraints.
The New Economic Model contemplates the development of initiatives
that will foster private investment in, and private management of,
sectors that are served more efficiently and effectively by the
private enterprise. One of these initiatives has been the adoption of
a new tax code intended to expand the tax base, reduce top personal
and corporate tax rates, and simplify the tax system. Another
initiative is the improvement and expansion of Puerto Rico's
infrastructure to facilitate private sector development and growth,
such as the construction of the water pipeline and cogeneration
facilities described below and the construction of a light rail system
for the San Juan metropolitan area.
The New Economic Model also seeks to identify and promote areas in
which Puerto Rico can compete more effectively in the global markets.
Tourism has been identified as one such area because of its potential
for job creation and contribution to the gross product. In 1993, a new
Tourism Incentives Act and a Tourism Development Fund were implemented
in order to provide special tax incentives and financing for the
development of new hotel projects and the tourism industry. As a
result of these initiatives, new hotels have been constructed or are
under construction which have increased the number of hotel rooms on
the island from 8,415 in fiscal 1992 to 10,877 at the end of fiscal
1997 and to a projected 11,972 by the end of fiscal 1998.
The New Economic Model also seeks to reduce the size of the
Government's direct contribution to gross domestic product. As part of
this goal, the Government has transferred certain Governmental
operations and sold a number of its assets to private parties. Among
these are: (i) the Government sold the assets of the Puerto Rico
Maritime Authority; (ii) the Government executed a five-year
management agreement for the operation and management of the Aqueducts
and Sewer Authority by a private company; (iii) the Aqueducts and
Sewer Authority executed a construction and operating agreement with a
private consortium for the design, construction, and operation of an
approximately 75 million gallon per day water pipeline to the San Juan
metropolitan area from the Dos Bocas reservoir in Utuado; (iv) the
Electric Power Authority executed power purchase contracts with
private power producers under which two cogeneration plants (with a
total capacity of 800 megawatts) will be constructed; (v) the
Corrections Administration entered into operating agreements with two
private companies for the operation of three new correctional
facilities; (vi) the Government entered into a definitive agreement to
sell certain assets of a pineapple juice processing business and sold
certain mango growing operations; (vii) the Government is in the
process of transferring to local sugar cane growers certain sugar
processing facilities; (viii) the Government sold two hotel properties
and is currently negotiating the sale of a complex consisting of two
hotels and a convention center; and (ix) the Government has announced
its intention to sell the Puerto Rico Telephone Company and is
currently involved in the sale process.
One of the goals of the Rossello administration is to change Puerto
Rico's public health care system from one in which the Government
provides free health services to low income individuals through public
health facilities owned and administered by the Government to one in
which all medical services are provided by the private sector and the
Government provides comprehensive health insurance coverage for
qualifying (generally low income) Puerto Rico residents. Under this
new system, the Government selects, through a bidding system, one
private health insurance company in each of several designated regions
of the island and pays such insurance company the insurance premium
for each eligible beneficiary within such region. This new health
insurance system is now covering 61 municipalities out of a total of
78 on the island. It is expected that 11 municipalities will be added
by the end of fiscal 1998 and 5 more by the end of fiscal 1999. The
total cost of this program will depend on the number of municipalities
included in the program, the number of participants receiving
coverage, and the date coverage commences. As of December 31, 1997,
over 1.1 million persons were participating in the program at an
estimated annual cost to Puerto Rico for fiscal 1998 of approximately
$672 million. In conjunction with this program, the operation of
certain public health facilities has been transferred to private
entities. The Government's current privatization plan for health
facilities provides for the transfer of ownership of all health
facilities to private entities. The Government sold six health
facilities to private companies and is currently in negotiations with
other private companies for the sale of thirteen health facilities to
such companies.
One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing
sector in Puerto Rico has been the federal and Commonwealth tax
incentives available, particularly those under the Puerto Rico
Industrial Incentives Program and Sections 30A and 936 of the Internal
Revenue Code 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Since 1948, Puerto Rico has promulgated various industrial incentives
laws designed to stimulate industrial investment. Under these laws,
companies engaged in manufacturing and certain other designated
activities were eligible to receive full or partial exemption from
income, property, and other taxes. The most recent of these laws is
Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997 (the "1998 Tax Incentives Law").
The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Law are available to
new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt
operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing
tax exemption grant. Activities eligible for tax exemption include
manufacturing, certain services performed for markets outside Puerto
Rico, the production of energy from local renewable sources for
consumption in Puerto Rico, and laboratories for scientific and
industrial research. For companies qualifying thereunder, the 1998 Tax
Incentives Law imposes income tax rates ranging from 2% to 7%. In
addition, it grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption
from municipal license taxes during the first eighteen months of
operation and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from
municipal excise taxes. The 1998 Tax Incentives Law also provides
various special deductions designated to stimulate employment and
productivity, research and development, and capital investment in
Puerto Rico.
Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Law, companies are able to repatriate or
distribute their profits free of tollgate taxes. In addition, passive
income derived from designated investments will continue to be fully
exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual
shareholders of an exempted business will be allowed a credit against
their Puerto Rico income taxes equal to 30% of their proportionate
share in the exempted business' income tax liability. Gain from the
sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders
during the exemption period will be subject to a 4% income tax rate.
For many years, U.S. companies operating in Puerto Rico enjoyed a
special tax credit that was available under Section 936 of the Code.
Originally, the credit provided an effective 100% federal tax
exemption for operating and qualifying investment income from Puerto
Rico sources. Amendments to Section 936 made in 1993 (the "1993
Amendments") instituted two alternative methods for calculating the
tax credit and limited the amount of the credit that a qualifying
company could claim. These limitations are based on a percentage of
qualifying income (the "percentage of income limitation") and on
qualifying expenditures on wages and other wage related benefits (the
"economic activity limitation", also known as the "wage credit
limitation"). As a result of amendments incorporated in the Small
Business Job Protection Act of 1996 enacted by the U.S. Congress and
signed into law by President Clinton on August 20, 1996 (the "1996
Amendments"), the tax credit, as described below, is now being phased
out over a ten-year period for existing claimants and is no longer
available for corporations that established operations in Puerto Rico
after October 13, 1995 (including existing Section 936 Corporations
(as defined below) to the extent substantially new operations are
established in Puerto Rico). The 1996 Amendments also moved the credit
based on the economic activity limitation to Section 30A of the Code
and phased it out over 10 years. In addition, the 1996 Amendments
eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from
certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. The Section 30A credit
and the remaining Section 936 credit are discussed below.
SECTION 30A. The 1996 Amendments added a new Section 30A to the Code.
Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that
meets certain gross income tests (which are similar to the 80% and 75%
gross income tests of Section 936 of the Code discussed below) to
claim a credit (the "Section 30A credit") against the federal income
tax imposed on taxable income derived from sources outside the United
States from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico
or from the sale of substantially all the assets used in such business
("possession income").
A QDC is a U.S. corporation which (i) was actively conducting a trade
or business in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, (ii) had a Section 936
election in effect for its taxable year that included October 13,
1995, (iii) does not have in effect an election to use the percentage
limitation of Section 936(a)(4)(B) of the Code, and (iv) does not add
a "substantial new line of business."
The Section 30A credit is limited to the sum of (i) 60% of qualified
possession wages as defined in the Code, which includes wages up to
85% of the maximum earnings subject to the OASDI portion of Social
Security taxes plus an allowance for fringe benefits of 15% of
qualified possession wages, (ii) a specified percentage of
depreciation deductions ranging between 15% and 65%, based on the
class life of tangible property, and (iii) a portion of Puerto Rico
income taxes paid by the QDC, up to a 9% effective tax rate (but only
if the QDC does not elect the profit-split method for allocating
income from intangible property).
A QDC electing Section 30A of the Code may compute the amount of its
active business income, eligible for the Section 30A Credit, by using
either the cost sharing formula, the profit-split formula, or the
cost-plus formula, under the same rules and guidelines prescribed for
such formulas as provided under Section 936 (see discussion below). To
be eligible for the first two formulas, the QDC must have a
significant presence in Puerto Rico.
In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the
amount of possession income that would qualify for the Section 30A
credit would be subject to a cap based on the QDC's possession income
for an average adjusted base period ending before October 14, 1995.
Section 30A applies only to taxable years beginning after December 31,
1995 and before January 1, 2006.
SECTION 936. Under Section 936 of the Code, as amended by the 1996
Amendments, and as an alternative to the Section 30A credit, U.S.
corporations that meet certain requirements and elect its application
("Section 936 Corporations") are entitled to credit against their U.S.
corporate income tax, the portion of such tax attributable to income
derived from the active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto
Rico ("active business income") and from the sale or exchange of
substantially all assets used in the active conduct of such trade or
business. To qualify under Section 936 in any given taxable year, a
corporation must derive for the three-year period immediately
preceding the end of such taxable year (i) 80% or more of its gross
income from sources within Puerto Rico and (ii) 75% or more of its
gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto
Rico.
Under Section 936, a Section 936 Corporation may elect to compute its
active business income, eligible for the Section 936 credit, under one
of three formulas: (A) a cost-sharing formula, whereby it is allowed
to claim all profits attributable to manufacturing intangibles, and
other functions carried out in Puerto Rico, provided it contributes to
the research and development expenses of its affiliated group or pays
certain royalties; (B) a profit-split formula, whereby it is allowed
to claim 50% of the net income of its affiliated group from the sale
of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; or (C) a cost-plus formula,
whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the
manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. To be eligible for the
first two formulas, the Section 936 Corporation must have a
significant business presence in Puerto Rico for purposes of the
Section 936 rules.
As a result of the 1993 Amendments and the 1996 Amendments, the
Section 936 credit is only available to companies that elect the
percentage of income limitation and is limited in amount to 40% of the
credit allowable prior to the 1993 Amendments, subject to a five-year
phase-in period from 1994 to 1998 during which period the percentage
of the allowable credit is reduced from 60% to 40%.
In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the
possession income subject to the Section 936 credit will be subject to
a cap based on the Section 936 Corporation's possession income for an
average adjusted base period ending on October 14, 1995. The Section
936 credit is eliminated for taxable years beginning in 2006.
PROPOSAL TO EXTEND THE PHASEOUT OF SECTION 30A. During 1997, the
Government of Puerto Rico proposed to Congress the enactment of a new
permanent federal incentive program similar to that provided under
Section 30A. Such a program would provide U.S. companies a tax credit
based on qualifying wages paid and other wage-related expenses, such
as fringe benefits, as well as depreciation expenses for certain
tangible assets and research and development expenses. Under the
Governor's proposal, the credit granted to qualifying companies would
continue in effect until Puerto Rico shows, among other things,
substantial economic improvements in terms of certain economic
parameters. The fiscal 1998 budget submitted by President Clinton to
Congress in February 1997 included a proposal to modify Section 30A to
(i) extend the availability of the Section 30A credit indefinitely;
(ii) make it available to companies establishing operations in Puerto
Rico after October 13, 1995; and (iii) eliminate the income cap.
Although this proposal, was not included in the final fiscal 1998
federal budget, President Clinton's fiscal 1999 budget submitted to
Congress again included these modifications to Section 30A. While the
Government of Puerto Rico plans to continue lobbying for this
proposal, it is not possible at this time to predict whether the
Section 30A credit will be so modified.
OUTLOOK. It is not possible at this time to determine the long-term
effect on the Puerto Rico economy of the enactment of the 1996
Amendments. The Government of Puerto Rico does not believe there will
be short-term or medium-term material adverse effects on Puerto Rico's
economy as a result of the enactment of the 1996 Amendments. The
Government of Puerto Rico further believes that during the phase-out
period sufficient time exists to implement additional incentive
programs to safeguard Puerto Rico's competitive position.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; and the
reasonableness of any commissions.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice co ncerning
the value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing,
or selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of accounts; and effect securities transactions and
perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, a
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause a fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR
must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided
by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a particular
transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund or its
other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not attempt to
place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research services
provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should be
related to those services.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, FMR is authorized to
allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account
assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or
other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and
other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may use research
services provided by and place agency transactions with National
Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for investment accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless
certain requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal periods ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, the portfolio
turnover rates were 24 % and 25 %, respectively, for
Spartan Florida Municipal Income.
For the fiscal years ended November 1998, 1997, and 1996, the funds
paid no brokerage commissions.
The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the funds could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
each fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those
of other funds managed by FMR or investment accounts managed by FMR
affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the
portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when
the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more
than one fund or investment account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its
liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares
outstanding.
TAX-FREE BOND FUND. Portfolio securities are valued by various
methods. If quotations are not available, fixed-income securities are
usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing
service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both
dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques.
Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A
number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various
pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment
companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value
of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more
accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example,
securities and other assets for which there is no readily available
market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the
value of a security, the committee may review price movements in
futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and
trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange
institutional trading.
MONEY MARKET FUND. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on
the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially valuing
an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or
accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The
amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the
price the fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their
respective NAVs.
At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the
extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would
deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost
valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from the fund's
amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other
unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such
corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or
reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair
results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming
shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations;
and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
A fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The share price of a bond
fund, the yield of a fund, and return fluctuate in response to market
conditions and other factors, and the value of a bond fund's shares
when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS (MONEY MARKET FUND).To compute the yield for the
money market fund for a period, the net change in value of a
hypothetical account containing one share reflects the value of
additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at
the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base
period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. The
money market fund also may calculate an effective yield by compounding
the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to the
current yield, the money market fund may quote yields in advertising
based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for the money market
fund are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by applicable regulation.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance
and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing
market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling,
the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of
its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower
yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the
fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be expected to occur.
YIELD CALCULATIONS (BOND FUND). Yields for the fund are computed by
dividing the fund's interest and income for a given 30-day or
one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares
entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this
figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the
result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an
annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflect the fund's short-term
trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds
trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of
the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with
respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. Capital gains and losses generally are
excluded from the calculation.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield
may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account,
or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.
In calculating the fund's yield, the fund may from time to time use a
portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in
order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will
have the effect of reducing the fund's yield.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance
and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing
market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling,
the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of
its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower
yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the
fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be expected to occur.
The tax-equivalent yield of a fund is the rate an investor would
have to earn from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal
the fund's tax-free yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by
dividing a fund's yield by the result of one minus a specified
combined federal and state income tax rate. If only a portion of a
fund's yield is tax-exempt, only that portion is adjusted in the
calculation.
The following table shows the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal income tax laws for 1999 . It
shows the approximate yield a taxable security must provide at various
income brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of
hypothetical federally tax-exempt obligations yielding from 2 %
to 7 %. Of course, no assurance can be given that a fund will
achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While the funds invest
principally in obligations whose interest is exempt from federal
income tax, other income received by the funds may be taxable. The
table does not take into account local taxes, if any, payable on fund
distributio ns.

limitations on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and
adjustments which may increase a taxpayer's marginal tax rate. An
increase in a shareholder's marginal tax rate would increase that

Each fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to the Florida intangible tax or federal income tax. When a
fund invests in obligations subject to federal income tax, its
tax-equivalent yields will be lower. In the table above,
tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments are 100%
federally tax-free.
RETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's
NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual
performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are
calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a
hypothetical historical investment in a fund over a stated period, and
then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would
have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in
value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative
return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return
of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal
100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that a fund's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of a fund.
In addition to average annual returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns
may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be
broken down into their components of income and capital (including
capital gains and changes in share price) in order to illustrate the
relationship of these factors and their contributions to return.
Returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis.
Returns may or may not include the effect of the account
closeout fee or the small account fee. Excluding a fund's small
account fee or account closeout fee from a return calculation produces
a higher return figure. Returns , yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the bond fund's NAVs,
adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the
fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise
indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales
charges, if any.
CALCULATING HISTORICAL MONEY MARKET FUND RESULTS. The following table

Note: If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these
periods, each fund's returns would have been lower.
The following tables show the income and capital elements of each
fund's cumulative return. The tables compare each fund's return to the
record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as measured by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The CPI information
is as of the month-end closest to the initial investment date for each
fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how each
fund's return compared to the record of a broad unmanaged index of
common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial
companies, respectively, over the same period. Because each fund
invests in fixed-income securities, common stocks represent a
different type of investment from the funds. Common stocks generally
offer greater growth potential than the funds, but generally
experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for
loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than
fixed-income investments such as the funds. The S&P 500 and DJIA
returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and,
unlike each fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage
commissions or other costs of investing.
The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical

consequences of different investments have not been factored into
the figures below.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Spartan
Florida Municipal Income on March 16, 1992, the net amount invested in
fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000)
together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take
sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance
may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund
performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When
comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and
return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while
stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry
the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market
funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not
offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, a fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising. The bond fund may advertise risk
ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating
agencies.
A fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of all dividends
and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike a
fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing
directly in the securities included in the index.
The municipal bond fund may compare its performance to the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more.
In addition, Spartan Florida Municipal Income ma y compare its
performance to that of the Lehman Brothers Florida Municipal Bond
Index, a market value-weighted index of Florida investment-grade
municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more. Issues included
in each index have been issued aft er December 31, 1990 and have an
outstanding par value of at least $50 million. Subsequent to December
31, 1995, zero coupon bonds and issues subject to the alternative
minimum tax are included in each index.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions.
Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For
example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential
returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee your principal or your
return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the
same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to
that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made
available in the future.
The money market fund may compare its performance or the performance
of securities in which it may invest to averages published by IBC
Financial Data, Inc. of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume
reinvestment of distributions. IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT
AVERAGESTM/ All Tax-Free , which is reported in IBC's MONEY FUND
REPORTTM, covers over 448 tax-free money market funds.
The bond fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative
advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual
municipal bond. Unlike municipal bond mutual funds, individual
municipal bonds offer a stated rate of interest and, if held to
maturity, repayment of principal. Although some individual municipal
bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer the reduced risk
of a mutual fund that invests in many different securities. The sales
charges of many municipal bond mutual funds are lower than the
purchase cost of individual municipal bonds, which are generally
subject to direct brokerage costs.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(Registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. A bond fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data. In advertising, a bond fund may also discuss or illustrate
examples of interest rate sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate price movements over specific periods of
time for a bond fund. Each point on the momentum indicator represents
the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
A bond fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic
investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In
such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
As of November 30, 1998, FMR advised over $ 33 billion in
municipal fund assets, $ 118 billion in taxable fixed-income
fund assets, $ 122 billion in money market fund assets,
$ 465 billion in equity fund assets, $ 13 billion in
international fund assets, and $ 28 billion in Spartan fund
assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of money market
mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the
industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates
maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the
purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, a fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as
federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund are
also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are taxable as
dividends, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.
Each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR believes
is free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other parties
have entered into covenants requiring continuing compliance with
federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest
payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants
are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the
issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest
payments from a security could become federally taxable retroactive to
the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured
securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may
also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.
Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although the interest continues
to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest
from private activity securities will be considered tax-exempt for
purposes of each fund's policies of investing so that at least 80% of
its income distributions is free from federal income tax. Interest
from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the
purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and
the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.
A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount
after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income,
not as capital gains. Dividends resulting from a recharacterization of
gain from the sale of bonds purchased at market discount after April
30, 1993 are not considered income for purposes of each fund's policy
of investing so that at least 80% of its income distributions is free
from federal income tax.
FLORIDA TAX MATTERS. The State of Florida does not currently impose an
income tax on individuals. Thus, individual shareholders of the funds
will not be subject to any Florida income tax on distributions
received from the fund. However, Florida does currently impose an
income tax on corporations. Consequently, distributions may be taxable
to corporate shareholders.
The State of Florida currently imposes an "intangible tax" at the
annual rate of two mills, or .20% on certain securities and other
intangible personal property owned by Florida residents. With respect
to the first mill, or first .10%, of the intangible tax, every natural
person is entitled each year to an exemption of the first $20,000 of
the value of the property subject to the tax. A husband and wife
filing jointly will have an exemption of $40,000. With respect to the
last mill, or last .10%, of the intangible tax, every natural person
is entitled each year to an exemption of the first $100,000 of the
value of the property subject to the tax. A husband and wife filing
jointly will have an exemption of $200,000. Notes, bonds, and other
obligations issued by the State of Florida or its municipalities,
counties, and other taxing districts, or by the U.S. government, its
agencies and certain U.S. territories and possessions (such as Guam,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) are exempt from this intangible
tax. If on the last business day of any year, the fund consists solely
of such exempt assets, then the fund's shares will be exempt from the
Florida intangible tax payable in the following year.
In order to take advantage of the exemption from the intangible tax in
any year, a fund must sell any non-exempt assets held in its portfolio
during the year and reinvest the proceeds in exempt assets on or
before the last business day of the calendar year. Transaction costs
involved in restructuring a fund in this fashion would likely reduce
investment return and might exceed any increased investment return the
fund achieved by investing in non-exempt assets during the year.
The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of certain
provisions of Florida law. You should consult your tax adviser to
determine the precise application of Florida or other state law to
your particular situation.
CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund's long-term capital gains
distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally
as capital gains. The money market fund may distribute any net
realized capital gains once a year or more often, as necessary.
As of November 30, 1998, Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market
had a capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately
$ 54,000 . This loss carryforward, of which $ 22,000 ,
$ 4,000, $10,000 , and $ 18,000 will expire on November 30,
2002 , 2003, 2004 , and 2005 , respectively, is
available to offset future capital gains.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal
property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to
determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of
the trust are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund
and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The

</TABLE>

* Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 199 8
for 23 7 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the funds and Mr. Burkhead are compensated
by FMR.
A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred,
and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the
calendar year ended December 31, 199 8 , the Trustees accrued
required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: Ralph F.
Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$ 7 5 ,0 00; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk,
$75,000; William O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500;
Marvin L. Mann, $75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of
the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $5 5,03 9;
William O. McCoy, $55,039; Marvin L. Mann, $5 5,03 9;
and Thomas R. Williams, $6 3,433 .
B Compensation figures include cash.
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.
As of November 30, 1998 , the Trustees, Members of the Advisory
Board, and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than
1 % of each fund's total outstanding shares.
CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS
FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR
and FIMM. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures
for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For
example, all personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance,
and participation in initial public offerings is prohibited. In
addition, restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation
to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term trading have been
adopted.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to
which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of
each fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical
and investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the
registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. Under the terms of each fund's management
contract, FMR is responsible for payment of all operating expenses of
each fund with certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR
include expenses for typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy
materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of the custodian,
auditor and interested Trustees, each fund's proportionate share of
insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the
costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making
necessary filings under state securities laws. Each fund's management
contract further provides that FMR will pay for typesetting, printing,
and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each
fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders. FMR also pays all
fees associated with transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder services, and pricing and bookkeeping services.
FMR pays all other expenses of each fund with the following
exceptions: fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees,
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), and such nonrecurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a
fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEES. For the services of FMR under each management
contract, Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market and Spartan Florida
Municipal Income each pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual
rate of 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, of the fund's average net
assets throughout the month.
The management fee paid to FMR by each fund is reduced by an amount
equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested
Trustees.
The following table shows the amount of management fees paid by each
fund to FMR for the past three fiscal years, and the amount of credits
reducing management fees for each fund.

</TABLE>

* After reduction of fees and expenses paid by the fund to the
non-interested Trustees.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
a fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses) , which is subject to
revision or termination. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for
these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below
the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a fund's returns and
yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a fund will lower its
returns and yield.
SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM
pursuant to which FIMM has primary responsibility for choosing
investments for the fund s . Previously, FMR Texas Inc. (FMR
Texas) had primary responsibility for providing investment management
services to the money market fund. On January 23, 1998, FMR
Texas was merged into FIMM, which succeeded to the operations of FMR
Texas.
Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, FMR pays FIMM fees
equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management
contract with each fund. The fees paid to FIMM are not reduced by any
voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect
from time to time.
On behalf of Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market, for the fiscal
years ended November 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996, FMR paid FMR Texas fees
of $175,107, $ 1,099,781, and $ 978,425 ,
respectively. On behalf of Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market, for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998, FMR paid FIMM fees of
$ 1,030,819 .
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements
call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses
in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the funds of distribution expenses.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares.
FMR made no payments either directly or through FDC to intermediaries
for the fiscal year ended 1998.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other
than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To
the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling, or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the funds might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.
TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS
Each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with UMB, which
is located at 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. Under the
terms of the agreements, UMB provides transfer agency, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder services for each fund. UMB in turn has
entered into sub-transfer agent agreements with FSC, an affiliate of
FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FSC performs all
processing activities associated with providing these services for
each fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to UMB.
For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in a fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts,
these fees are based on account size and fund type. For certain
institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type.
For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are
based on account type and fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.
FSC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.
In addition, FSC collects a $5.00 exchange fee for each exchange out
of Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market.
FSC also collects Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market's $5.00
account closeout fee.
FSC also collects Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market's $2.00
checkwriting fee.
FSC also collects Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market's $5.00 wire
transaction fee.
In addition, UMB receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency
fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified state tuition
program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and each Fidelity Freedom
Fund, a fund of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the
percentage of the QSTP's or Freedom Fund's assets that is invested in
a fund.
FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
Each fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with UMB.
Under the terms of the agreements, UMB provides pricing and
bookkeeping services for each fund. UMB in turn has entered into
sub-service agent agreements with FSC. Under the terms of the
sub-agreements, FSC performs all processing activities associated with
providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends
for each fund and maintaining each fund's portfolio and general
accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping
fees paid to UMB.
For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on each fund's average daily net assets throughout the
month.
FMR bears the cost of transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder services and pricing and bookkeeping services under the
terms of its management contract with each fund.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Spartan Florida Municipal Income Fund is a fund
of Fidelity Court Street Trust, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 21, 1977.
Currently, there are four funds of Fidelity Court Street Trust:
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income Fund, Spartan Municipal Income
Fund, Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income Fund, and Spartan Florida
Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional
funds in the trust.
Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market Fund is a fund of
Fidelity Court Street Trust II , an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on June 20,
1991. Currently, there are five funds of Fidelity Court Street Trust
II: Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund, Fidelity New
Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund, Spartan Florida Municipal Money
Market Fund, Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund, and
Spartan New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund. The Trustees are
permitted to create additional funds in the trust.
The assets of the Massachusetts trust received for the issue or sale
of shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund in the Massachusetts trust shall be
charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund.
Any general expenses of the Massachusetts trust shall be allocated
between or among any one or more of its funds.
The assets of the Delaware trust received for the issue or sale of
shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund in the Delaware trust shall be charged
with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any
general expenses of the Delaware trust shall be allocated between or
among any one or more of its funds.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. The Massachusetts trust
is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
trust.
The Declaration of Trust provides that the Massachusetts trust shall
not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the
purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation,
or instrument entered into or executed by the Massachusetts trust or
its Trustees relating to the trust shall include a provision limiting
the obligations created thereby to the Massachusetts trust and its
assets.
The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each
fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of
his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his
or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY - DELAWARE TRUST. The Delaware trust is a
business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides
that shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations
for profit. The courts of some states, however, may decline to apply
Delaware law on this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities,
obligations, and expenses of the Delaware trust. The Trust Instrument
provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires
that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or
executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a
fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets.
The Trust Instrument further provides that shareholders of a fund
shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any
other fund.
The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's
property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally
liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her
being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts
or omissions or for some other reason. The Trust Instrument also
provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no
contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and a fund is
unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the
above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely
remote.
VOTING RIGHTS - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. Each fund's capital consists of
shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to
one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights
of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may
be voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.
The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by a vote of
shareholders of the trust or the fund. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are
entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for
distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a
fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to receive the underlying
assets of the fund available for distribution.
VOTING RIGHTS - DELAWARE TRUST. Each fund's capital consists of shares
of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote
for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of
shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be
voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.
The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally
such terminations must be approved by a vote of shareholders. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of
each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of
such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of a fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to
receive the underlying assets of the fund available for distribution.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder
vote, in order to change the form of organization of the trust cause
the trust to merge or consolidate with one or more trusts,
partnerships, associations, limited liability companies or
corporations, as long as the surviving entity is an open-end
management investment company, or is a fund thereof, that will succeed
to or assume the trust's registration statement, or cause the trust to
incorporate under Delaware law.
CUSTODIAN. UMB Bank, n.a., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri,
is custodian of the assets of the funds. The custodian is responsible
for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any
subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and members
of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain
funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts, serves as the trust's independent
accountant. The auditor examines financial statements for the funds
and provides other audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1998, and report(s) of the auditor, are

Item 24. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust
The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other
Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research
Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the
officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the
other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that
it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the
power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the
result of an official position with the respective trusts.
Item 25. Indemnification
Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the
reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification
shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states
that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer
to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all
expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any
claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by
virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any
amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be
provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to
be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his
or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action
was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement,
no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a
determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the
officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its
directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against
any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the
reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss,
liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person
acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration
statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information,
shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the
Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading
under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However,
the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it
harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in
reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the
Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity
of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to
be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any
liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the
Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
("FSC") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the Transfer Agent agrees to
indemnify FSC for FSC's losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) (losses) to
the extent that the Transfer Agent is entitled to and receives
indemnification from the Fund for the same events. Under the Transfer
Agency Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold the Transfer
Agent harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting
from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other
than the Trust, including by a shareholder which names the Transfer
Agent and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not
result from the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in
connection with the Transfer Agent's performance under the Transfer
Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent
contributed to by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from
the negligence of the Trust, or from the Transfer Agent's acting upon
any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or
communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a
result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon advice
reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to have been given by
counsel for the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting
in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably
believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or
executed by the proper person.

Exhibit d(5)

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
between
FIDELITY INVESTMENTS MONEY MANAGEMENT, INC.
and
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of January, 1999, by and between Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation with
principal offices at Contra Way, P.O. Box 9600, Merrimack, New
Hampshire (hereinafter called the ``Sub-Adviser") and Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the ``Adviser").
WHEREAS the Adviser has entered into a Management Contract with
Fidelity Court Street Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which may
issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter
called the ``Fund"), on behalf of Spartan Municipal Income Fund
(hereinafter called the ``Portfolio"), pursuant to which the Adviser
is to act as investment manager and adviser to the Portfolio, and
WHEREAS the Sub-Adviser was formed for the purpose of providing
investment management of money market and fixed-income mutual funds,
both taxable and tax-exempt, advising generally with respect to money
market and fixed-income instruments, and managing or providing advice
with respect to cash management.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser agree
as follows:
1. (a) The Sub-Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the
Adviser, direct the investments of all or such portion of the
Portfolio's assets as the Adviser shall designate in accordance with
the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the
Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from
time to time, the Investment Company Act of l940 and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time (the ``l940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish for the
use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities,
equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the
Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the
Sub-Adviser performing services for the Portfolio relating to
research, statistical and investment activities. The Sub-Adviser is
authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the
Portfolio or the Adviser, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in
any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on
behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other
actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the
control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations,
information or analyses to the Fund and the Adviser as the Fund's
Board of Trustees or the Adviser may request from time to time or as
the Sub-Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Sub-Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to
Portfolio policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted
by the Trustees. The Sub-Adviser shall, subject to review by the
Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Sub-Adviser
shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and which are not otherwise
furnished by the Adviser.
(c) The Sub-Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale
of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or
dealers selected by the Sub-Adviser, which may include brokers or
dealers affiliated with the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser
shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions
at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission
rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In
selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or
the other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser, Adviser or their
affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser is
authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and
research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction
for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission
another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such
amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer.
This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Adviser and
its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise
investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall periodically
review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the
commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable
in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
2. As compensation for the services to be furnished by the
Sub-Adviser hereunder, the Adviser agrees to pay the Sub-Adviser a
monthly fee equal to 50% of the management fee which the Portfolio is
obligated to pay the Adviser under the Portfolio's Management Contract
with the Adviser in respect of that portion of the Portfolio's assets
managed by the Sub-Adviser during such month. Such fee shall not be
reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the
Adviser, if any, in effect from time to time.
3. It is understood that Trustees, officers, and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser or the
Sub-Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser are or may
be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser or
the Sub-Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a
shareholder or otherwise.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses
other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Adviser
hereunder or by the Adviser under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include,
without limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions
and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the
Fund's Trustees other than those who are ``interested persons" of the
Fund, the Sub-Adviser or the Adviser; (iv) legal and audit expenses;
(v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi)
fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the
Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under state and
federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the
Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of
the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio
and other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service
or Management Contracts with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums
for fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of
association membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements
thereto; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto sent to
existing shareholders; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
between
FIDELITY INVESTMENTS MONEY MANAGEMENT, INC.
and
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of January, 1999, by and between Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation with
principal offices at Contra Way, P.O. Box 9600, Merrimack, New
Hampshire (hereinafter called the ``Sub-Adviser") and Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the ``Adviser").
WHEREAS the Adviser has entered into a Management Contract with
Fidelity Court Street Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which may
issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter
called the ``Fund"), on behalf of Spartan Florida Municipal Income
Fund (hereinafter called the ``Portfolio"), pursuant to which the
Adviser is to act as investment manager and adviser to the Portfolio,
and
WHEREAS the Sub-Adviser was formed for the purpose of providing
investment management of money market and fixed-income mutual funds,
both taxable and tax-exempt, advising generally with respect to money
market and fixed-income instruments, and managing or providing advice
with respect to cash management.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser agree
as follows:
1. (a) The Sub-Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the
Adviser, direct the investments of all or such portion of the
Portfolio's assets as the Adviser shall designate in accordance with
the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the
Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from
time to time, the Investment Company Act of l940 and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time (the ``l940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish for the
use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities,
equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the
Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the
Sub-Adviser performing services for the Portfolio relating to
research, statistical and investment activities. The Sub-Adviser is
authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the
Portfolio or the Adviser, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in
any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on
behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other
actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the
control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations,
information or analyses to the Fund and the Adviser as the Fund's
Board of Trustees or the Adviser may request from time to time or as
the Sub-Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Sub-Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to
Portfolio policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted
by the Trustees. The Sub-Adviser shall, subject to review by the
Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Sub-Adviser
shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and which are not otherwise
furnished by the Adviser.
(c) The Sub-Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale
of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or
dealers selected by the Sub-Adviser, which may include brokers or
dealers affiliated with the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser
shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions
at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission
rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In
selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or
the other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser, Adviser or their
affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser is
authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and
research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction
for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission
another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such
amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer.
This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Adviser and
its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise
investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall periodically
review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the
commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable
in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
2. As compensation for the services to be furnished by the
Sub-Adviser hereunder, the Adviser agrees to pay the Sub-Adviser a
monthly fee equal to 50% of the management fee which the Portfolio is
obligated to pay the Adviser under the Portfolio's Management Contract
with the Adviser in respect of that portion of the Portfolio's assets
managed by the Sub-Adviser during such month. Such fee shall not be
reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the
Adviser, if any, in effect from time to time.
3. It is understood that Trustees, officers, and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser or the
Sub-Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser are or may
be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser or
the Sub-Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a
shareholder or otherwise.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses
other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Adviser
hereunder or by the Adviser under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include,
without limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions
and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the
Fund's Trustees other than those who are ``interested persons" of the
Fund, the Sub-Adviser or the Adviser; (iv) legal and audit expenses;
(v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi)
fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the
Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under state and
federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the
Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of
the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio
and other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service
or Management Contracts with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums
for fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of
association membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements
thereto; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto sent to
existing shareholders; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary
expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or
proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and the legal obligation
which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Fund's Trustees and
officers with respect thereto.
5. The Services of the Sub-Adviser to the Adviser are not to be
deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Adviser being free to render services
to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such
other services and activities do not, during the term of this
Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Adviser's

or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part
of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall not be subject to liability
to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for
any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the
purchase, holding or sale of any security.
7. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d)
of this paragraph 7, this Agreement shall continue in force until June
30, 1999, and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the
continuance after such period shall be specifically approved at least

its Board of Trustees or Directors, or by vote of a majority of its
outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall terminate

(v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi)
fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the
Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under state and
federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing

deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Adviser being free to render services
to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such
other services and activities do not, during the term of this
Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Adviser's

7. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d)
of this paragraph 7, this Agreement shall continue in force until June

annually by vote of the Fund's Board of Trustees or by vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the
provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or
interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations
adopted by, or interpretive releases of, the Commission.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this paragraph 7, the terms of any continuance or modification of the
Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those
Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to such Agreement or
interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
(d) Either the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the Portfolio may, at any
time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties,
terminate this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of
its Board of Trustees or Directors, or by vote of a majority of its
outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon the termination of the Management Contract between
the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser. This Agreement
shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
8. The Sub-Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the
limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document of the Fund and agrees that any
obligations of the Fund or the Portfolio arising in connection with
this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Portfolio and its
assets, and the Sub-Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Portfolio.
Nor shall the Sub-Adviser seek satisfaction of any such obligation
from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
