NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999                                         Alliance Treasury Reserves
================================================================================

NOTE A: Significant Accounting Policies

Alliance Government Reserves (the "Trust") is an open-end diversified investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust consists
of two portfolios: Alliance Government Reserves and Alliance Treasury Reserves
(the "Portfolio"), each of which is considered to be a separate entity for
financial reporting and tax purposes. The Portfolio pursues its objectives by
maintaining a portfolio of high-quality money market securities all of which, at
the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio.

1. Valuation of Securities

Securities in which the Portfolio invests are traded primarily in the
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized
on a constant basis to maturity. Certain illiquid securities containing
unconditional puts at par value are also valued at amortized cost.

2. Organization Expenses

The organization expenses of the Portfolio were being amortized against income
on a straight-line basis through September, 1998.

3. Taxes

It is the Portfolio's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.

4. Dividends

The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income and
automatically reinvests such dividends in additional shares at net asset value.
Net realized capital gains on investments, if any, are expected to be
distributed near year end.

5. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. Realized gain (loss) from investment transactions is recorded
on the identified cost basis.

6. Repurchase Agreements

It is the Portfolio's policy to take possession of securities as collateral
under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that the value of
such securities are sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements.

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

NOTE B: Advisory Fee and Transactions with an Affiliate of the Adviser

The Portfolio pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P., an advisory
fee at the annual rate of .50% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net
assets; .49% on the next $.25 billion; .48% on the next $.25 billion; .47% on
the next $.25 billion; .46% on the next $1 billion; and .45% in excess of $3
billion. The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the advisory agreement, to
reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its annual aggregate expenses
(excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and, where permitted, extra ordinary
expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year. For the
year ended June 30, 1999, the reimbursement amounted to $131,532.

The Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing
personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Portfolio.
Such compensation amounted to $201,514 for the year ended June 30, 1999.

For the year ended June 30, 1999, the Fund's expenses were reduced by $2,552
under an expense offset arrangement with Alliance Fund Services.

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

NOTE C: Distribution Assistance and Administrative Services Plan

Under this Plan, the Portfolio pays Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. (the
"Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, a distribution fee at
the annual rate of .25% of the average daily value of the Portfolio's net
assets. The Plan provides that the Distributor will use such payments in their
entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. For the year
ended June 30, 1999, the distribution fee amounted to $1,944,041. In addition,
the Portfolio may reimburse certain broker-dealers for administrative costs
incurred in connection with providing share holder services, and may reimburse
the Adviser for accounting and bookkeeping, and legal and compliance support.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, such payments by the Port folio amounted to
$1,174,411, of which $131,000 was paid to the Adviser.
