FIRST INVESTORS SINGLE PAYMENT AND PERIODIC PAYMENT PLANS FOR
INVESTMENT IN FIRST INVESTORS FUND FOR INCOME, INC.

First Investors Corporation, as Sponsor, offers the following long term
investment programs providing for investment in First Investors Fund For Income,
Inc. (the "Fund").

SINGLE PAYMENT PLANS-The sales charge on these plans, as a percent of the
offering price, ranges from 6.25% on a $1,000 Plan to 2.50% on a $500,000 but
under $1,000,000 Plan, which is 6.67% to 2.56%, respectively, of the net amount
invested. The sales charge is the only deduction from the initial investment.
There is no sales charge on single payment plans of $1,000,000 or more.

PERIODIC PAYMENT PLANS-providing for regular monthly payments for 10 or 15
years. The sales charge on 10-Year Plans ranges from 6.15% on $6,000 Plans ($50
per month) to 4.40% on $120,000 Plans ($1,000 per month) of total payments and
from 6.76% to 4.61% of the net amount invested, respectively. Total deductions
range from 10.07% to 4.88% of the net amount invested, respectively. Plans in
excess of $120,000 are subject to a sales charge of 4.40% (reducing to 3.40% on
Plans of $250,000 and over, 2.40% on Plans of $500,000 and over and 1.40% on
Plans of $1,000,000 and over). Plans are also subject to maintenance and
custodian fees.

The sales charge on 15-Year Plans ranges from 6.15% on $9,000 Plans ($50
per month) to 4.40% on $180,000 Plans ($1,000 per month) of total payments and
from 6.77% to 4.61% of the net amount invested, respectively. Total deductions
range from 10.08% to 4.88% of the net amount invested, respectively. Plans in
excess of $180,000 are subject to a sales charge of 4.40% (reducing to 3.40% on
Plans of $250,000 and over, 2.40% on Plans of $500,000 and over and 1.40% on
Plans of $1,000,000 and over). Plans are also subject to maintenance and
custodian fees.

A double initial payment is required on all Periodic Payment Plans. The
Planholder's net payments, after deducting all applicable fees, are invested in
Class A shares ("shares") of the Fund at net asset value. The value of Fund
shares is subject to fluctuations in accordance with the market value of the
securities it holds for investment. Furthermore, the provisions of the Periodic
Payment Plans are such that a substantial part of the costs of the Plan is
charged the first year: in fact, 50% of the first 13 monthly payments is
deducted as a sales charge. For example, even after application of the "refund
privileges" described herein under "Refund Privileges," total charges of a
minimum Periodic Payment Plan would amount to 18% of total payments if the Plan
were carried for any period of time between forty-five days and eighteen months.
Moreover, if such a minimum Plan were carried for nineteen months, total charges
would amount to 37.14% of total payments under the 10-year Plan and 37.75% under
the 15-year Plan; they would amount to 29.16% and 30.07%, respectively, under
the 10- and 15-year Plans, if carried for two years. Therefore, it is obvious
that a loss would be incurred in the event of early withdrawal or termination by
a Planholder or if the Planholder redeemed his or her underlying Fund shares at
a time when their redemption value is less than their cost to the Planholder.
Consideration should be given to these factors by a prospective Planholder who
should be reasonably certain of his or her ability to continue the Plan to
completion before considering this long-term investment program.

Shares of the Fund may also be purchased outright at a sales charge not in
excess of 6.9%, without penalty for early termination or payment of the
maintenance and custodian fees and service charges applicable to the Plans
offered hereby. (See the prospectus of the Fund and "Statistical Data Applicable
to First Investors Plans" in this Prospectus.) Direct purchases of Fund shares
enable the investor to put more of his or her money to work immediately and over
the life of a Fund account than would be possible under the life of the Periodic
Payment Plan offered hereby. Prepayment of

<PAGE>

all or any part of the first 13 payments under the Periodic Payment Plan
produces a smaller net investment after deduction of applicable charges
than would result from direct investment of the same amount in shares of
the Fund. Such prepayment would increase possible loss
in the event of early termination. An investor has (a) a 45-day right of
withdrawal, and (b) a right to receive during the first 18 months (or 28 months,
if applicable) of the Plan the value of his or her account and a portion of the
sales charges paid prior to his or her withdrawal. For a full discussion of
these withdrawal rights, see "Refund Privileges" in this Prospectus.

The Fund, the Plans' Sponsor, the Fund's Investment Adviser and/or certain
affiliated entities and persons have entered into settlements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and various state regulators to resolve
allegations regarding certain sales of shares of the Fund that occurred prior to
December 1990. For the period November 8, 1990 (the commencement date of the
first litigation) through the date of this Prospectus, the Sponsor voluntarily
suspended new Plan sales. For a further discussion of these settlements and
other regulatory matters, the past substitution of the underlying investments of
the Plans, and certain exchange privileges, see "Underlying Investment," "Rights
and Privileges of Planholders-Exchanges" and "Sponsor and
Underwriter--Regulatory Matters."

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS
PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

THE PLANS

First Investors Single Payment and Periodic Payment Plans for Investment in
First Investors Fund For Income, Inc. (each, a "Plan") is a long-term investment
program. The Sponsor of the Plan is First Investors Corporation (the "Sponsor").
The custodian is The Bank of New York (the "Custodian"). Plan payments, after
the deduction of all applicable fees, are invested at net asset value in shares
of First Investors Fund For Income, Inc., an open-end diversified management
investment company (the "Fund"). The Fund primarily seeks a high level of
current income and secondarily seeks growth of capital (see "Underlying
Investment").

PERIODIC PAYMENT PLANS

Periodic Payment Plans provide for regular and systematic monthly investment
over a period of either ten or fifteen years. From the investor's viewpoint, the
operation of the Plan is extremely simple. Once the investor understands the
Plan and decides to adopt it, the investor need only decide how much to pay
regularly-it can be as little as $50 per month, or as much as $1,000 per month
or more, limited to 120 or 180 payments. The investor can then decide the most
convenient time to make regular payments. The investor will also probably choose
to name a beneficiary by completing a Declaration of Trust. These questions
settled, with the assistance of a First Investors registered representative, the
investor completes the appropriate Plan application, writes out a check to the
order of The Bank of New York, Custodian, to cover the first payment (the
initial payment requires
5

<PAGE>

a sum representing two monthly payments), and the First
Investors registered representative will process the application and check. In a
few days, after the approval of the application by the Sponsor, a First
Investors Periodic Payment Plan Certificate will be forwarded to the investor.
Following the double initial payment, subsequent Plan payments will be made
through First Investors Money Line or Automatic Payroll Investment, as described
below.

FIRST INVESTORS MONEY LINE. This service allows you to invest through
automatic deductions from your bank checking account. You must complete and sign
the First Investors Money Line portion of the Plan application in order to
participate in this service. Any loss or expense incurred by the Sponsor or any
delinquency in Plan payments resulting from insufficient funds in the
Planholder's checking account or otherwise will be the Planholder's liability.
You may decrease the amount or discontinue this service at any time by calling
Administrative Data Management Corp. at 1-800-423-4026 or writing to
Administrative Data Management Corp., 10 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge, NJ
07095-1198, Attention: Control Dept. To increase the amount, send a written
request to Administrative Data Management Corp. at the address noted above.
Allow up to 5 days for processing your request. Please include the Plan name and
account number whenever writing to Administrative Data Management Corp.

AUTOMATIC PAYROLL INVESTMENT. You also may arrange for automatic Plan
payments on a systematic basis through salary deductions, provided your employer
has direct deposit capabilities. You must complete and sign the Automatic
Payroll Investment portion of the Plan application in order to participate in
this service. Arrangements must also be made with your employer's Payroll
Department. You may change the amount invested or discontinue the service by
contacting your employer.

When a Planholder's payment is received, the Sponsor will determine the
authorized deductions and the number of full and fractional shares of the Fund
to be acquired and will credit the requisite shares to the Planholder's account.
To the extent that there are shares to be sold for other Planholders on the same
day, new shares purchased will be offset by shares sold. The price paid for
shares is the net asset value of shares of the Fund next determined after
receipt of such payment. See the Fund's Prospectus for information as to the
procedure for computing net asset value. Unless privileges of termination are
exercised by the Planholder or the Sponsor, each Plan shall continue in force
for a period of at least twenty years for a ten-year Periodic Payment Plan and
twenty-five years for a fifteen-year Periodic Payment Plan.

SINGLE PAYMENT PLANS

Single Payment Plans are also available, whereby an investor may make a
single investment of $1,000 or more, with larger Plans available in $100
multiples. These Plans, providing for the same underlying investment as the
Periodic Payment Plans, offer the investment diversification, supervision and
research facilities of the Fund in a single investment with an option to have
dividend and capital gain distributions, if any, after authorized deductions,
paid in additional Fund shares without sales charge, or if income is desired, to
have the net amount of dividend and capital gain distributions, if any,
remitted. The investor may name a beneficiary by completing a Declaration of
Trust. In addition, Class A Shares of the Fund may be exchanged at net asset
value for units of a Single Payment Plan. You should refer to the Fund's
Prospectus for further details on this exchange privilege.

Single Payment Plans are subject to a sales charge as follows:

amount of 25/100 of 1% annually of the single payment (minimum $3.00 and maximum
$30.00) deducted from dividend and capital gain distributions (whether paid in
cash or additional Fund shares) or from the proceeds of the redemption of Fund
shares to the extent that dividend and capital gain distributions are
insufficient.

REDUCED SALES CHARGES. Two or more Single Payment Plans, when purchased at
the same time by a corporation, partnership, individual, an investor for his or
her own account, or for the investor, the investors spouse and children under
age 21, or by a trustee or other fiduciary of a single trust estate or account
(including a pension, profit-sharing or other qualified employee benefit plan
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) may be combined to attain a
reduced sales charge. This privilege does not apply to a group of individuals
who combine their funds directly or indirectly for the purchase of Plans.

Upon written notice to the Sponsor, Single Payment Plans are also available
at a quantity discount on new Single Payment Plans purchased if the then current
value at net asset value of all shares of First Investors Fund For Income, Inc.,
First Investors Global Fund, Inc., First Investors High Yield Fund, Inc., First
Investors Government Fund, Inc., and/or First Investors Global Fund, Inc.
previously purchased and then owned under Single Payment Plans, plus the face
amount of the Single Payment Plan being purchased, amount to $25,000 or more.
Such quantity discounts may be modified or terminated at any time by the
Sponsor.

LETTER OF INTENT. Individuals making application for a Single Payment Plan
(restricted to applicants as listed above) may also sign a Letter of Intent
indicating their intent to purchase additional Single Payment Plans within
thirteen months from the date of the original purchase. Such Letter of Intent
may be filed at any time during a period of 90 days from the date of the
application. A statement filed after the date is retroactive to that date for
computation of the 13-month period. A Letter of Intent can also be amended:
(a) during the 13-month period if the investor files an amended Letter of Intent
with the same expiration date as the original, or (b) automatically after the
end of the period, if total purchases credited to the Letter of Intent qualify
for an additional reduction in the sales charge. If and when such additional
purchases have been made and the total of all Single Payment Plans so purchased
have attained an aggregate amount (at least $25,000), they qualify for a
reduction of sales commission. The execution of a Letter of Intent is not a
binding obligation on the part of the investor or the Sponsor.

If total purchases pursuant to such Letter of Intent are less than the amount
stipulated therein, the Planholder must remit to the Sponsor an amount equal to
the difference in the dollar amount of sales charges actually paid by the
Planholder and the amount of sales charges which the Planholder would have paid
on his or her aggregate purchases if the total of same had been made

<PAGE>

at a single time. If such payment is not made within 20 days following the
expiration of the 13-month period, an appropriate number of shares of the Fund
shall be surrendered for redemption to pay such sales charge. Fund shares
remaining after such redemption shall be delivered to the Planholder or as he
or she directs.

An investor can achieve the same investment results by investing directly in
the Fund under a Letter of Intent, without paying the maintenance and custodian
fees applicable to the Plan.

UNDERLYING INVESTMENT

First Investors Fund For Income, Inc., an open-end diversified management
investment company, primarily seeks to earn a high level of current income and
secondarily seeks growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve these objectives
by investing in lower-grade, high yielding, high risk debt securities (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds"). Investors should refer to the Fund's Prospectus
for a detailed description of the Fund's investment objectives and policies.
There is no assurance that the Fund's objectives will be achieved.

As a result of the temporary suspension of sales of Fund shares, as of
February 6, 1991, shares of First Investors Government Fund, Inc. had been
substituted temporarily as the underlying investment of the Plans. Sales of
Fund shares resumed on December 20, 1993, and, as a result, monthly payments
received from that date forward are once again being invested in Fund shares,
and all redemption proceeds are obtained from redemptions of shares of First
Investors Government Fund, Inc. held in the Plans. First Investors Government
Fund, Inc. is a fund with an investment objective of a significant level of
current income which is consistent with security and liquidity of principal.
First Investors Government Fund invests no less than 80% of its assets in
obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United
States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

OTHER DEDUCTIONS

The Plan provides that there may be deducted from the assets of the
Planholder, fees or expenses as follows:

After the expiration of a period of ten years (or fifteen years for a 15-Year
Plan) from the date of a Plan, or prior to the expiration of such period, if
there has been a lapse of one year from the date of the Planholder's last
payment which makes a Plan one year or more delinquent, a charge for bookkeeping
and administrative services will be made, in monthly, quarterly or semiannual
installments, at the rate of 25/100 of 1% per annum of the total agreed
payments, subject to a minimum annual charge of $3 and a maximum of $30. This
fee shall be deductible from dividend and capital gain distributions (whether
paid in cash or additional Fund shares) or from the proceeds of the redemption
of Fund shares to the extent that dividend and capital gain distributions are
insufficient.

In the case of an assignment, release of an assignment, transfer of ownership
of a retirement plan account, partial withdrawal or liquidation or complete
withdrawal and termination from a non-retirement plan account (if made before
completion of Plan payments or before the expiration of 10 years from the date
of issuance of a Single Payment Plan), certain transfers or replacement of lost
Plan certificates, and reinvestment of partial liquidations, a specified service
fee of $2.25 is charged. In the case of a partial withdrawal or liquidation or
complete withdrawal and termination from a retirement plan account, a specified
service fee of $7.00 is charged. For a retirement plan transfer, Plan
certificate transfer or replacement, reinvestment of a partial liquidation or
complete withdrawal

8
<PAGE>

and termination from a retirement plan account, such fee may
be paid directly by the Planholder or deducted from the proceeds of the
redemption of Fund shares, if desired. For an assignment or release of an
assignment, such fee must be paid directly by the Planholder.

After one year from the issuance of a Single Payment Plan or after the
thirteenth payment has been made on a Periodic Payment Plan, a charge of up to
$5.00 will be deducted on an annual basis from dividend or capital gain
distributions (whether paid in cash or additional Fund shares) or from the
proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares to the extent that dividend and
capital gain distributions are insufficient. This charge is to reimburse the
Sponsor for actual expenses incurred by the Sponsor in performing certain
administrative duties, as described under "Sponsor and Underwriter." (See the
Plan's Statement of Operations for Delegated Service Fees.) Some administrative
services are performed by the Fund at no expense to shareholders.

The foregoing fees mentioned for bookkeeping and administrative services and
for specific services are paid, as are the maintenance and custodian service
fees deducted from periodic payments, to the Sponsor as reasonable compensation
for the Sponsor's performing such services. The Sponsor reserves the right to
change the fees charged to Planholders.

Neither the Custodian nor the Sponsor shall be personally liable for any
taxes levied or assessed against them or either of them with respect to the Fund
shares in the custody of the Custodian, or arising from the income therefrom or
redemption or transfer thereof. Deductions may be made from time to time to pay
tax liabilities and claims therefor, and if necessary, Fund shares may be
redeemed to provide funds for the payment of such liabilities or the creation of
reserves therefor. The term "tax liability" includes not only taxes and possible
taxes but also auditing expenses and counsel fees incurred in connection
therewith.

RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF PLANHOLDERS

Each Plan issued is registered in the name of the Planholder and is in the
form of an individual agreement between First Investors Corporation, as Sponsor
of the Plan, and the Planholder. The Bank of New York is appointed Custodian
under each agreement. The Custodian performs only bare custodianship functions,
while the Sponsor has assumed bookkeeping and administrative functions as set
forth under the heading "Sponsor and Underwriter." No amendment adversely
affecting outstanding Plans may be made without the Planholder's expressed
consent.

Certain optional provisions are extended to Planholders, including rights in
the following respects:

(1) DIVIDENDS AND OTHER GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends and other distributions received by Planholders are dependent upon
the distributions made by the Fund. Dividends from the Fund's net investment
income (consisting of interest and dividends, earned discount and other income
earned on portfolio securities less expenses) are generally declared daily and
paid monthly. Unless you direct Administrative Data Management Corp. otherwise,
dividends declared by the Fund are paid in additional Fund shares at the net
asset value (without sales charge) generally determined as of the close of
business on the first business day of the following month. The Fund also
distributes substantially all of its net capital gain (the excess of net long-
term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) and net short-term capital
gain, if any, after deducting any available capital loss carryovers, with its
regular dividend at the end of the year. Unless you direct Administrative Data
Management Corp. otherwise, these distributions are paid in additional shares of
the Fund at the net asset value (without sales charge) generally

<PAGE>

determined as of the close of business on the business day immediately following
the record date of the distribution. Dividends and other distributions paid in
Fund shares are added to your Plan account.

In order to be eligible to receive a dividend or other distribution, you must
own Fund shares as of the close of business on the record date of the
distribution. You may elect to receive dividends and/or other distributions in
cash by notifying Administrative Data Management Corp. by telephone or in
writing prior to the record date. If you elect this form of payment, the
payment date generally is two weeks following the record date of any such
distribution. Your election remains in effect until you revoke it. Reference
is made to the Fund's Prospectus for additional information as to the payment of
dividends and capital gain distributions by the Fund.

(2) DECLARATION OF TRUST

A Planholder may, without transferring his or her Plan, execute and file with
the Sponsor from time to time revocable Declarations of Trust in a form
acceptable to the Sponsor, declaring that the Plan and the Fund shares held
thereunder are held in trust for the benefit of the person or persons named in
such Declaration of Trust upon the terms therein stated.

(3) PARTIAL LIQUIDATION WITHOUT TERMINATION

After six months from the date of purchase of a Single Payment Plan and after
making 20 payments or the equivalent thereof on a Periodic Payment Plan, a
Planholder may at any time withdraw a portion of the Fund shares in his or her
Plan account without terminating the Plan. In addition, if six months or more
have elapsed from the date of a substantial prepayment on a Periodic Payment
Plan (at least equal to initial payments 1-13), a Planholder may at any time
redeem a portion of the Fund shares in his or her account without terminating
the Plan. The liquidation must be for at least $50 and cannot be in excess of
80% of the value of the Planholder's account. The proceeds of the redemption of
Fund shares or the Fund share certificate will be mailed to the Planholder or
designee of the Planholder. Requests for partial liquidations must be in writing
as more fully described under "Method of Selling Shares." Where a partial
liquidation has been effected through the redemption of Fund shares, the
Planholder may reinvest in an amount equal to the proceeds of such redemption by
sending a check payable to The Bank of New York, Custodian, c/o First Investors
Corporation, 10 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge, New Jersey 07095,
Attention: New Accounts. Such funds will be applied to the purchase of Fund
shares at a net asset value based on the next price computation and held under
the Planholder's account. The number of Fund shares may be more or less than the
amount redeemed due to the purchase price in effect at the time the reinvestment
is made. Where a partial liquidation has been effected through the withdrawal of
Fund shares, rather than the redemption, such shares may at any time be replaced
by redepositing the share certificate with the Custodian c/o First Investors
Corporation, 10 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge, NJ 07095. (There is a fee,
currently $2.25, for each partial liquidation or reinvestment.) Reinvestment of
such partial liquidation will be made only upon written request of the
Planholder accompanied by the appropriate payment. The partial liquidation and
reinvestment privilege is intended to facilitate the temporary use for emergency
purposes of funds invested in a Plan. If a Planholder realizes a gain on
liquidation, such gain is taxable for Federal income tax purposes even though
all of such proceeds are reinvested.

(4) TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT

A Planholder may (a) assign his or her Plan and the Fund shares held
thereunder to a bank or loan institution as security for a loan; or (b) transfer
and assign his or her Plan and Fund shares to

10
<PAGE>

another person, in the form and manner acceptable to the Sponsor. If assignment
is made without consent of the Sponsor it will not be recorded on the records
of the Plan. (There is a fee, currently $2.25, for each assignment or transfer.)

(5) COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION

A Planholder of a Single Payment Plan or Periodic Payment Plan may, at any
time, terminate his or her Plan by surrendering the Plan Certificate and other
required documents, where applicable, to Administrative Data Management Corp.,
10 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge, New Jersey 07095, Attention: Liquidation
Dept. and may request delivery of the Fund shares accumulated, registered in his
or her name, or request their redemption and remittance to the Planholder of the
proceeds of such redemption. (There is a fee, currently $2.25, for withdrawal or
liquidation prior to completion of Periodic Payment Plans or before expiration
of ten years for Single Payment Plans.) Requests for termination and complete
liquidation or withdrawal must be in writing. Please refer to "Method of Selling
Shares" for instructions on making a complete withdrawal or termination. Any
adjustment in sales or other charges occasioned by virtue of termination by the
Planholder through the exercise of the refund privileges (see "Refund
Privileges") will be made at the same time. The redemption price is the net
asset value of Fund shares effective after receipt of the request in "good
order" by Administrative Data Management Corp., 10 Woodbridge Center Drive,
Woodbridge, New Jersey 07095.

(6) REPORTS, RECEIPTS AND NOTICES

The Sponsor will mail to each Periodic Payment Planholder a receipt of each
payment, including a statement of the number of shares held for his or her
account, and notices of payments due in advance of their due date. The
Planholder will also be sent audited annual reports of the Fund, distribution
notices and tax statements relating to the Plan (TIN 13-2670442), and at least
annually a current Fund Prospectus if a Plan payment has been made during the
calendar year.

(7) VOTING RIGHTS

The Planholder will be sent notice of any meeting at which his or her Fund
shares may be voted and will be sent voting instruction forms. The Sponsor will
cause the Custodian to vote any Planholder's shares in accordance with the
Planholder's instructions, or if the Planholder so requests, to give him or her
a proxy or otherwise arrange for his or her exercise of voting rights at any
meeting. If the Planholder does not exercise any of the above privileges, the
Sponsor will cause the Custodian to vote his or her Fund shares for or against
each matter on which the Planholder is entitled to vote, in the same proportion
as indicated in the voting instructions given the Custodian on behalf of other
Planholders.

(8) PREPAYMENT

Planholders of Periodic Payment Plans may accelerate completion of a Plan by
making full or partial payments in advance of their due dates. Such prepayments
do not in any way accelerate the due dates of unpaid payments. Unpaid payments
will be considered to be due on that date on which they would have originally
been required if all prior payments (whether or not in fact made in advance) had
been made when they were respectively due. In the event the Planholder makes a
payment aggregating twelve or more monthly payments, the deductions therefrom
for maintenance and custodian fees will be reduced by 50% of the scheduled fees.
A Planholder considering advance payments should keep in mind that direct
purchases of Fund shares enable the investor to put more

11
<PAGE>
of his or her money to work immediately and over the life of a Fund account than
would be possible under the life of the Plan offered hereby.

(9) REFUND PRIVILEGES

Within 60 days after the issuance of the Plan Certificate, Planholders of
Periodic Payment Plans will receive a statement of charges to be deducted from
the projected Plan payments and a notice of his or her right to withdraw from
the Plan. Planholders electing to exercise this right of withdrawal will receive
a full refund of all charges deducted from payments made plus the net asset
value of Fund shares accumulated in his or her Plan account, provided the
Planholder surrenders his or her Plan Certificate to the Sponsor, First
Investors Corporation, 10 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge, New Jersey 07095,
so that it is received within 45 days after the mailing to the Planholder of
such withdrawal notice. Please refer to "Method of Selling Shares" for
instructions on making requests for refunds of sales charges.

In addition, if he or she misses any three payments (which need not be
consecutive) among the first fifteen payments due under his or her Plan or any
one payment thereafter, but prior to the 18th payment, the Planholder will
receive a separate written notice informing the Planholder of (1) the right to
surrender his or her Plan Certificate, (2) the value of his or her Plan account
at the time of the mailing of the notice, and (3) the amount to which he or she
is entitled. Moreover, the Planholder has a right to request a refund of the
portion of the sales charges which exceeds 15% of the gross payments he or she
has made plus the then net asset value of the Fund shares accumulated in his or
her Plan account, provided the Planholder surrenders his or her Plan Certificate
so that it is received by the Sponsor at the address in the preceding paragraph
within 28 months of the date the Plan Certificate was issued. Planholders who
purchased a Plan after May 25, 1992 (on or after May 22, 1992 for Kentucky
Planholders) may request this refund within 28 months of the date the Plan
Certificate was issued. Planholders will be sent a notice setting forth this
refund privilege not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
expiration of the Planholder's right to receive this refund.

(10) COMPLETION OF PLAN

Upon completion of all Plan payments, the Planholder may elect to terminate
the Plan or have the Fund shares accumulated under the Plan held in his or her
Plan account.

A Planholder who elects to terminate the Plan account may either receive the
proceeds from the redemption of the Fund shares held in his or her account or
transfer those shares to a Fund account. Reference is made to "Method of Selling
Shares" for instructions on how to terminate a Plan. Planholders who elect to
receive the proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares will realize a gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes.

As soon as possible after the close of each calendar year, the Planholder
will be advised of the amount and nature of the distributions declared on his or
her behalf during such year. Planholders who elect to have their investment
remain in their Plan account may make no more payments or contributions into the
account. Dividend and capital gain distributions will continue to be paid on the
Fund shares held in the Planholder's account and annual maintenance and
custodian fees will continue to be deducted from the Planholder's account.

12
<PAGE>

METHOD OF SELLING SHARES

A Planholder may, by written request filed with the Sponsor, direct the
redemption of some but not all of the Fund shares credited to his or her Plan
account or, upon surrender of the Plan Certificate, terminate the Plan and
direct the redemption of all of his or her shares. The Sponsor will cause
payment to be made by check within seven days after the written request for
liquidation or termination "in good order" is received by Administrative Data
Management Corp. Requests for liquidation or termination should be addressed to
Administrative Data Management Corp., 10 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge,
New Jersey 07095-1198, Attention: Liquidation Department. "Good order" means
that the request for liquidation or termination must include:

(1) a letter of instruction specifying the account number and the number of
Fund shares or dollar amount to be redeemed. This request must be signed by all
registered Planholder(s) in the exact name(s) in which the account is
registered;

(2) required signature guarantees (see below);

(3) in the case of termination requests only, the Plan Certificate, if one
was issued; and

(4) other supporting legal documents, as required by Administrative Data
Management Corp. In the case of estates, trusts, guardianships, custodianships,
corporations, partnerships or other organizations, additional information may be
required, which may be obtained by calling Administrative Data Management Corp.
at 1-800-423-4026.

If the proceeds of the redemption are more than $50,000 or if the check
is made payable to someone other than the registered Planholder(s) or mailed to
an address other than the address of record, or if the address of record has
charged within the past 60 days, a signature guarantee will be required. In
order to avoid any possible delay in processing a transaction, Planholders are
advised to submit liquidation or termination requests with signature guarantees.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES. A signature guarantee is designed to protect you, the
Plan and the Sponsor. Members of STAMP (Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program), MSP (New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program) and SEMP
(Stock Exchanges Medallion Program) are eligible signature guarantors. A notary
public is not an acceptable guarantor. The guarantee must be manually signed by
an authorized signatory of the guarantor and the words "Signature Guaranteed"
must appear in direct association with such signature. Although the Sponsor
reserves the right to require signature guarantees at any other time, signature
guarantees are required whenever: (1) the amount of the redemption is $50,000 or
more, (2) a redemption check is to be made payable to someone other than the
registered Planholder, (3) a redemption check is to be mailed to an address
other than the address of record, (4) an account registration is being
transferred to another owner, (5) a Plan account, other than an individual,
joint, UGMA or UTMA nonretirement Plan account, is being exchanged or redeemed,
(6) the redemption request is for certificated shares, or (7) your address of
record has changed within 60 days prior to a redemption or exchange request.

The redemption price of Fund shares will be the net asset value per share
next determined after receipt by Administrative Data Management Corp. of the
request "in good order," as noted above. To the extent that there are offsetting
new purchases on the same day for the accounts of other Planholders, redemptions
will be netted against those purchases. If, on any business day, there are more
shares offered for redemption than required for new purchases, the excess will
be presented to the Fund for redemption or repurchase at the next determined net
asset value. The right to receive cash, however, may be suspended during any
period when the Fund shall have suspended

13
<PAGE>

the right to redeem its shares. The Board of Directors of the Fund may suspend
the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment during any period when
(a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is restricted as determined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission or such Exchange is closed for other
than weekends and holidays, (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission has by
order permitted such suspensions, or (c) an emergency, as defined by rules of
the Commission, exists during which time the sale of portfolio securities or
valuation of securitie held by the Fund are not reasonably practicable. For
additional information regarding redemption rights and suspension thereof refer
to the Prospectus of the Fund.

TERMINATION OF PLAN BY THE SPONSOR

Either the Sponsor or the Custodian may, but is not required to, terminate a
Plan as hereinafter provided, after:

a) the expiration of 20 years from the date of inception of a Single Payment
Plan;

b) the expiration of 20 years from the date of inception of a Periodic
Payment Plan providing for 120 payments over 10 years; or

c) the expiration of 25 years from the date of inception of a Periodic
Payment Plan providing for 180 payments over 15 years.

If a Planholder fails to make a Plan payment on or before the due date, he or
she will be considered in default. Should any Planholder continue in default for
a period of two years or more, the Sponsor may terminate his or her Plan as
hereinafter provided. As a matter of policy the power to terminate because of
default will usually be exercised only when the default has continued over a
comparatively long period and the dividend and capital gain distributions on the
Fund shares are insufficient to cover maintenance and custodian charges.

If the Sponsor or the Custodian shall determine to exercise its right to
terminate any Plan for the reasons noted above, the Sponsor will mail to the
Planholder at his or her address noted on its records a notice of termination.
Within 60 days of the date of such notice of termination, the Planholder must
surrender the Plan Certificate to the Sponsor and elect to receive either: (a) a
share certificate for the amount of full Fund shares and the proceeds of any
fractional Fund share accumulated in his or her Plan account or; (b) the
proceeds from the redemption of all Fund shares in the account. If the
Planholder fails to so elect, the Sponsor may, without further notice, either:
(a) cause the issuance of a share certificate in the Planholder's name for the
amount of full Fund shares accumulated in his or her Plan account and the
redemption of any fractional Fund share; or (b) cause the redemption of all Fund
shares in the Plan account. The Sponsor will hold the share certificate or the
net proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares for delivery or payment to the
Planholder upon surrender of the Plan Certificate. If the Planholder does not
surrender his or her Plan Certificate after an additional 60 days, the Sponsor
may, without receiving a Plan Certificate, mail to the Planholder at his or her
address noted on its records either: (a) a share certificate for the amount of
full Fund shares and a check for the fractional Fund share; or (b) a check
representing the net proceeds of the redemption of all Fund shares in the Plan
account. Reference is made to the Fund's Prospectus for the method of redeeming
share certificates. Planholders who elect to receive the proceeds from the
redemption of Fund shares will realize a gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes.

Furthermore, a Planholder who does not make the regularly scheduled second
payment within a period of 60 days after it becomes due shall be considered in
default. In such event, the Sponsor

<PAGE>

reserves the right to terminate the Plan by giving the Planholder written notice
and refunding the entire initial payment, less deductions, upon surrender
of the Plan Certificate.

Reference is made to "Other Deductions" relative to charges made after
completion of ten or fifteen years or in cases of default. Such deductions that
cannot be satisfied from distributions available will be made from the
redemption of Fund shares held in the Planholder's account.

No interest will be payable on funds held for Planholders pending surrender
of Plan Certificates. Any assets undelivered to the Planholder shall be held by
the Custodian in custody, subject to disposition under applicable state law.

Any notice required or permitted to be given to the Planholder shall be
conclusively deemed to have been given when such notice is enclosed in an
envelope, addressed to the Planholder at the Planholder's address, as noted on
the records, and deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid. The date
of the mailing of such notice shall be deemed to be the date of giving such
notice.

EXCHANGES INVOLVING OTHER PLANS

You may exchange at relative net asset value of the underlying Fund shares
into or from any other single or periodic payment plan of the same type and
denomination for which FIC is the Sponsor without paying an additional sales
charge. If a Planholder elects to exercise this exchange privilege, he or she
pays the same sales charge on additional payments, and has the same rights and
privileges, under the new plan as under the current plan. Exchanges can only be
made into accounts registered to identical owners. If your exchange is into a
new account, it must meet the minimum investment and other requirements of the
plan into which the exchange is being made. Additionally, the plan must be
available for sale in the state where you reside. A $10.00 exchange fee is
charged for each such exchange. In addition, the $2.25 redemption fee
applicable to Plan liquidations (see "Other Deductions") is charged for each
exchange.

Before exchanging your Plan, you should read the Prospectus for the new plan
and the Prospectus for its underlying Fund investment into which the exchange is
to be made. You may obtain these Prospectuses and information with respect to
which plans qualify for the exchange privilege free of charge by calling
Shareholder Services at 1-800-423-4026. Exchange requests received in "good
order" by Administrative Data Management Corp., 10 Woodbridge Center Drive,
Woodbridge, New Jersey 07095 before the close of regular trading on the NYSE,
generally 4:00 P.M. (New York City time), will be processed at the net asset
value of the underlying Fund shares determined as of the close of regular
trading on the NYSE on that day; exchange requests received after that time will
be processed on the following trading day.

Exchanges should be made for investment purposes only. A pattern of frequent
exchanges may be contrary to the best interests of a Fund's other shareholders.
Accordingly, the Sponsor has the right, at its sole discretion, to limit the
amount of an exchange, impose a holding period, reject any exchange, or, upon 60
days' notice, materially modify or discontinue the exchange privilege. The
Sponsor in consultation with a Fund's Investment Adviser, will consider all
relevant factors in determining whether a particular frequency of exchanges is
contrary to the best interests of a Fund and its other shareholders. Any such
restriction will be made by the Sponsor on a prospective basis only, upon notice
to the Planholder not later than ten days following such Planholder's most
recent exchange.

An exchange between plans will result in a taxable gain or loss to you,
depending on whether the redemption proceeds from the underlying Fund shares are
more or less than your adjusted basis

<PAGE>

for the Plan (which normally includes the sales charges paid under
the Plan). Please refer to "Taxes" and the Fund's Prospectus.

SUBSTITUTION OF OTHER SHARES AS
THE UNDERLYING INVESTMENT OF THE PLAN

Subject to prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Sponsor may, whenever the Sponsor deems it to be in the best interest of the
Planholders, substitute other shares as the underlying investment of the Plans.
Such substitution may include shares previously purchased or may affect only
shares to be purchased. Shares to be substituted must be generally comparable to
the shares previously purchasable under the Plans and as a matter of policy will
be limited to shares registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Before any substitution may be made by the Sponsor it shall:

(1) Apply for and receive prior approval from the Securities and Exchange
Commission permitting such substitution under the provisions of Section 26(b) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(2) Notify the Custodian of the proposed substitution;

(3) Give written notice of the proposed substitution to the Planholders,
describing the new shares and notifying them that unless they surrender their
Plan Certificates to the Sponsor for termination within 30 days, they will be
conclusively deemed to have authorized the substitution; and

(4) In the case of substitution of new shares for shares previously
purchased, furnish new shares which have an aggregate net asset value at least
equal to the aggregate value of the shares previously purchased, based on their
published or quoted bid price.

Unless the Sponsor shall receive from the Planholder, within 30 days from the
date of the Sponsor's notice, written notice that he or she desires to make a
complete withdrawal, the Sponsor is authorized to cause the purchase of new
shares and, if the old shares are to be exchanged, to exchange the old shares
for the substituted shares.

In the event of substitution the Planholder is required to be advised in
writing within 5 days after such substitution is made. Any expenses and charges
involved in such substitution, other than proper transfer taxes and charges,
will be borne by the Sponsor.

In the event that shares used as the underlying investment of the Plan may
not be purchasable for a period of 90 days, and if the Sponsor does not
substitute other shares, it is agreed that the Plan will be terminated, and the

First Investors Corporation (TIN 13-2608328), 95 Wall Street, New York, N.Y.,
10005, was organized under the laws of the State of New York in February 1968.
It is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. First
Investors Corporation is the Sponsor and the Underwriter of the Plan. The Plan
is offered for sale by registered representatives of the Underwriter.

First Investors Corporation also acts as the Sponsor and Underwriter of
Periodic and/or Single Payment Plans for the accumulation of shares of First
Investors Global Fund, Inc., First Investors

16
<PAGE>

High Yield Fund, Inc., First Investors Government Fund Inc., and First Investors
Insured Tax Exempt Fund, Inc. and as underwriter for the First
Investors family of mutual funds.

First Investors Consolidated Corporation owns all of the outstanding stock of
First Investors Corporation and Administrative Data Management Corp. and all of
the outstanding voting common stock of First Investors Management Company, Inc.,
the investment adviser of the Fund. Mrs. Julie W. Grayson (as executrix of the
estate of her deceased husband, David D. Grayson) and Mr. Glenn O. Head (or
members of his family) are controlling persons of First Investors Consolidated
Corporation and therefore, jointly control First Investors Management Company,
Inc., the investment adviser of the Fund.

The Sponsor and its administrative agent, Administrative Data Management
Corp., a subsidiary of First Investors Consolidated Corporation, the Sponsor's
parent organization, are responsible for the performance of all regular
bookkeeping and administrative services with respect to the Plans, as more fully
set forth below. In addition, the Sponsor is responsible for the performance of
certain special administrative services, specifically: causing the mailing to
Planholders of prospectuses, when applicable, annual and semiannual reports of
the Fund, and required dividend and tax notices; and causing an independent
quarterly audit of the records of the Custodian and the preparation and filing
of required tax returns. The Sponsor receives all of the maintenance and
custodian fees deducted from payments or imposed on an annual basis as set forth
on pages 2 through 4 and all of the fees for specific services as set forth
under "Other Deductions." For the year ended December 31, 1994, these fees
amounted to $191,001, all of which were paid to Administrative Data Management
Corp.

In general, and without limitation, the bookkeeping and administrative
services assumed by the Sponsor and Administrative Data Management Corp. are
comprised of the maintenance of all records relating to the Planholders and
their accumulated Fund shares, the processing of payments from Planholders, the
processing of proceeds to withdrawing or terminating Planholders, the placement
of orders with the underwriter of the Fund's shares for the purchase and
redemption of Fund shares on behalf of the Planholders, the calculation of the
number of shares to be purchased or redeemed or credited as dividend or capital
gain distributions, the causing of the mailing of all required notices and other
information to Planholders and the handling of all contact and correspondence
with and inquiries from Planholders.

First Investors Corporation paid its three highest paid officers aggregate
compensation from salaries or commissions of $1,264,803 during 1994. The
aggregate remuneration paid to all other officers during 1994 was $1,309,106.
Compensation of sales officers, sales supervisory personnel and registered
representatives totaled $25,208,439 while administrative personnel excluding
officers received $8,037,902 during 1994. The aggregate directors fees paid in
1994 totalled $22,500.

A blanket fidelity bond in an amount of $5,000,000 is carried with Gulf
Insurance Group covering the acts of Directors, Officers, Employees and Sales
Personnel of the Sponsor; an excess blanket fidelity bond in an amount of
$20,000,000 is carried with the ICI Mutual Insurance Company, covering the acts
of Directors, Officers and Employees of the Sponsor. The Sponsor also maintains
$30,000,000 in Directors & Officers/Employees & Officers coverage.

REGULATORY MATTERS. In June 1992, the Funds' underwriter FIC, entered into a
settlement with the SEC to resolve allegations by the agency that certain of
FIC's sales representatives had made misrepresentations concerning the risks of
investing in two high yield bond funds, the First Investors Fund For Income,
Inc. and the First Investors High Yield Fund, Inc. ("High Yield Funds"),

<PAGE>

and had sold these Funds to investors for whom they were not suitable. Without
admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, FIC: (a) consented to the entry of a
final judgment enjoining it from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Section 17(a) of the 1933
Act; (b) agreed to the entry of an administrative order censuring it and
requiring it to comply with undertakings to improve its policies and procedures
with regard to sales, training, supervision and compliance; and (c) agreed to
pay $24.7 million to certain investors who purchased shares of the High Yield
Funds from in or about November 1984 to in or about November 1990.

FIC, FIMCO and/or certain affiliated entities and persons have entered into
settlements with regulators in 29 states to resolve allegations, similar to
those made by the SEC, concerning sales of the High Yield Funds. In October
1993, as part of settlements with Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia and
Washington ("State Settlements"), FIC, FIMCO and certain affiliated entities
and persons agreed, without admitting or denying any of the allegations, (a) to
be enjoined from violating certain provisions of the state securities laws, (b)
to engage in remedial measures designed to ensure that proper sales practices
are observed in the future, and (c) to pay $7.5 million, in addition to the
$24.7 million previously paid by FIC in connection with the SEC settlement, to
investors in the High Yield Funds. In addition, as part of those settlements,
several FIC executives, including Glenn O. Head, who is an officer and director
of the Funds, agreed to be suspended and enjoined temporarily from associating
with any broker-dealer in a supervisory capacity in certain of the states. On
December 8, 1993, several present and former FIC executives, including Mr. Head,
also agreed, without admitting or denying the allegations, to temporary SEC
suspensions from associating with broker-dealers and in some cases other
regulated entities in a supervisory capacity.

CUSTODIAN

The Bank of New York (TIN 13-4941102), 48 Wall Street, New York, N.Y., 10286,
acts as Custodian under the Custodian Agreement dated March 12, 1985. The
Custodian is subject to supervision by the New York State Banking Commission.
The duties of the Custodian under the provisions of the Custodian Agreement are
those of bare custodianship. The Custodian holds all securities, cash, checks
and other property in which the funds of the Planholders are invested or are to
be invested, all funds held for such investment, all redemption proceeds, and
other special funds of the Planholders, and all income upon, accretions to, and
proceeds of such property and funds to the extent such assets are delivered to
it. All such assets are held subject to such disbursements as the Sponsor may
direct and subject to a charge for the fees of the Custodian. The Sponsor
directs the Custodian to make disbursements in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan.

The Custodian assumes no duties or obligations not specifically imposed upon
it by the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian
assumes no responsibility for the choice of the investment, the investment
policies of the investment adviser to the Fund, or for any acts or omissions on
the part of the Sponsor. The Custodian specifically does not assume the duties
of investment ordinarily imposed upon a trustee, and its only obligations are,
as set forth above, to function as bare Custodian under the Plan. The Custodian
may not resign its custodianship under the Plan unless the Plan has been
terminated or unless a successor Custodian has been designated and has accepted
the custodianship.

The Custodian shall have a lien upon the Fund shares held for Planholders and
the proceeds from any redemption thereof for its fees and reimbursable expenses
to the extent that payments by the Planholder and distributions received on such
Fund shares may be insufficient to pay the same. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994, there were no fees paid to the Custodian for services
rendered on behalf of the Plans.

<PAGE>
TAXES

The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a
regulated investment company under the Code so that it will be relieved of
Federal income tax on that part of its investment company taxable income
(consisting generally of net investment income, net short-term capital gain and
net gains from certain foreign currency transactions) and net capital gain that
is distributed to its shareholders.

Dividends paid from investment company taxable income are taxable to you as
ordinary income, whether paid in cash or in additional shares. Distributions of
net capital gain, when designated as such, are taxable to you as long-term
capital gain, whether paid in cash or in additional shares, regardless of the
length of time you have owned your shares. If you purchase shares shortly
before the record date for a dividend or other distribution, you will pay full
price for the shares and receive some portion of the price back as a taxable
distribution. You will receive an annual statement following the end of each
calendar year describing the tax status of distributions paid by the Fund during
that year.

The Sponsor is required to withhold 31% of all dividends, capital gain
distributions and redemption proceeds payable to you (if you are an individual
or certain other non-corporate shareholder) if the Sponsor is not furnished with
a correct taxpayer identification number, and in certain other circumstances.

If you itemize deductions for Federal income tax purposes, you may deduct
maintenance and custodian fees deducted from payments and/or dividend and
capital gain distributions only if the requirements applicable to the
deductibility of "miscellaneous itemized deductions" are satisfied (including
the requirement that they, together with other miscellaneous itemized
deductions, exceed 2% of adjusted gross income). The sales charges paid in
acquiring your Plan should be included for tax purposes in the cost of the Plan
and reinvested dividends or distributions.

The foregoing is only a summary of some of the important Federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Plan and its shareholders; see the Funds'
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a further discussion.
There may be other Federal, state or local tax considerations applicable to a
particular investor. You therefore are urged to consult your own tax advisor.

$6,000 TEN-YEAR PAYMENT PLAN

ILLUSTRATION OF A PLAN UNDER FIRST INVESTORS CORPORATION CONTRACTUAL
PLANS FOR INVESTMENT IN FIRST INVESTORS FUND FOR INCOME, INC.

This illustration is in terms of an assumed investment of $50 per month for
the period January 1, 1985 to December 31, 1994 with dividend and capital gain
distributions paid in additional Fund shares. The Plan provides for ten years of
investing and an additional ten years during which dividends from investment
income and distributions from capital gains on accumulated Fund shares are paid
in shares.

The period covered was one of fluctuating securities prices. The results
shown should not be considered as a representation of the dividend income or
capital gain (or loss) which may be realized from an investment made in the Fund
today. A program of the type illustrated does not assure a profit, or protect
against depreciation in declining markets.

The table below was computed at the maximum sales charge of 8.75%. As of this
date of this Prospectus, the maximum sales charge has been reduced to 6.25%. If
the current maximum sales charge had been in place, Deductions would have been
lower and Total Value of Shares would have been higher.

* Under the terms of this Plan, out of the initial double payment of $100,
$49.50 is deducted as a sales charge, with $24.75 being deducted as a sales
charge from each of the next 11 payments. Additional deductions include $2.00

maintenance and custodian fees. Total deductions from the first 13 payments
equal $334.75, or 52% of the total of the first 13 monthly payments. If all of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Plan is a unit investment trust registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The following significant accounting policies,
which are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
for unit investment trusts, are consistently used in the preparation of
its financial statements.

SECURITY VALUATION

Underlying investments of the Plan are valued at the net
asset value of each investment on the last day of the period.

TRANSACTION DATES

Unit and portfolio transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Distributions of investment income and realized gains are recorded
on the ex-dividend date.

INCOME TAXES

It is the Plan's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code to distribute all of its taxable income.
Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

UNDERLYING INVESTMENT

In November 1990, sales of shares of First Investors Fund For
Income, Inc. were voluntarily suspended pending the resolution of
certain legal actions. In order to enable Planholders to
continue to make Plan payments, the Sponsor obtained a Securities
and Exchange Commission order approving a temporary substitution
of shares of First Investors Government Fund, Inc. as the
underlying investment for continuing Plan payments

Beginning in February 1991, the Plan, which had held only the
original First Investors Fund For Income, Inc. shares, began
purchasing shares of First Investors Government Fund, Inc. and
proportionally redeeming shares in both Funds to satisfy
redemptions.

On December 20, 1993, sales of shares of First Investors Fund For
Income, Inc. were resumed as a result of settlements of legal
actions. Since December 20th, all monthly payments are being
invested in shares of First Investors Fund For Income, Inc. and
all redemption proceeds are obtained from redemptions of shares of
First Investors Government Fund, Inc. Eventually, as the Plan
continues, all shares of First Investors Government Fund, Inc.
held in the Plan will be eliminated through redemptions.

the execution and settlement of customer transactions. These activities may
expose the Company to risk of loss in the event the customer is unable to
fulfill its contracted obligations, in which case the Company may have to
purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing market prices. Any loss
from such transactions is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis with related
commission income and expenses recorded as of the trade date.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are valued at market and include securities acquired
for investment purposes and securities held for re-sale to customers. As of
December 31, 1994, marketable securities consist principally of common stocks.
Marketable securities subject to withdrawal restrictions are classified under
"Other assets".

LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT

Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the asset, ranging from 5 to 15 years, or the remaining life of the
lease.

DISTRIBUTION PLANS

Pursuant to separate underwriting agreements with the Funds, the Company is
entitled to commissions on the sale of shares of the Funds in an amount ranging
from one percent to six and one-quarter percent of the amount received on the
sales. In addition, under separate distribution plans

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for each Fund,
the Company receives distribution and service fees in an amount up to three-
tenths of one percent of the Fund's average daily net assets. The distribution
fees are intended to cover the cost of distributing the Fund shares, including
cost of travel and office expenses. The service fees provide for servicing or
maintenance of shareholder accounts, including payments to registered
representatives who provide ongoing servicing to such accounts. For the year
ended December 31, 1994, $4,812,953 of distribution fees were received from the
Funds and recorded as a reduction to selling expenses.

INCOME TAXES

The Company files consolidated federal and certain state income tax returns
with its parent and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the parent. It is
the policy of the parent to allocate the applicable federal taxes (benefits) to
each subsidiary on a separate return basis.

The provision for income taxes includes amounts currently payable and
deferred income taxes (benefits). These deferred amounts arise from using
different accounting methods for tax and financial statement purposes, primarily
for unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities, sponsor fee refunds
and various accrued expenses.

NOTE 2--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS SEGREGATED UNDER FEDERAL REGULATIONS

At December 31, 1994, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,431,000
were segregated in a special reserve bank account for the benefit of customers
under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"). The
minimum amount required was approximately $1,266,000. In January 1995, the
Company withdrew $950,000 from the special reserve bank account.

NOTE 3--RELATED PARTIES

The Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of its parent share office
space and data processing facilities. The Company is charged its proportionate
share of expenses based on space occupied and usage of the data processing
facilities. Additionally, the Company charges certain of its affiliates for
management, office space and other services based upon time allocated to the
management and operation of the affiliate and space occupied. During the year
1994 the Company charged certain of its affiliates approximately $3,812,000 for
management and other services and approximately $406,000 for office space. The
Company purchased approximately $599,000 of data processing services, and
approximately $339,000 of office space during the year.

The Company also receives commissions and fees on the sale of various life
insurance products from an affiliated life insurance company. For 1994, these
commissions and fees amounted to approximately $6,651,000.

In addition to the outstanding advances between the Company and its
affiliates, the Company at December 31, 1994 had approximately $3,039,000
deposited in an account of an affiliated savings bank, and approximately
$7,376,000 invested in First Investors mutual funds, principally in the money
market fund.

NOTE 4--PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

The Company is a participating employer with certain other wholly-owned
subsidiaries of its parent in a profit-sharing plan covering all of its eligible
employees. Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Board of
Directors and are based on the consolidated income of the parent. There were no
contributions for 1994. FICC has assumed the responsibility of the Company's
non-qualified profit-sharing plan for the benefit of registered representatives.

NOTE 5--LEASES

The Company leases office space under terms of various lease agreements,
certain of which are cancelable at the end of specified time periods and others
which are non-cancelable, expiring at various times through 2005. Total rent
expense was approximately $3,340,000 for 1994. The minimum annual rental
commitments relating to leases in effect as of December 31, 1994 exclusive of
taxes and other charges by lessors subject to escalation clauses, are as
follows:

NOTE 6--LITIGATION

The Company is a defendant in a number of sales practice cases which allege
that certain of the Company's sales representatives had made misrepresentations
concerning the risks of investing in First Investors Fund For Income, Inc. and
First Investors High Yield Fund, Inc., investment companies which invest
primarily in high yield funds. The Company has made tentative settlements in
connection with several of these cases which involve collectively approximately
180 investors. The Company's parent has assumed and accrued a liability for
these settlements for approximately $3.5 million in 1994. This amount was
subsequently paid in January 1995. The Company believes that the remaining
cases, which involve collectively approximately 17 investors, will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition. The Company's parent has
agreed to assume such liabilities, if any.

The Company is a defendant in a number of other lawsuits involving claims for
damages of the type normally associated with the Company's business. Management
is of the opinion that such lawsuits will not result in any material liability
to the Company.

Capital Rule, Rule 15c3-1, under the 1934 Act. Under the alternative method
permitted by this Rule, required net capital shall not be less than 2% of
aggregate debit items arising from customer security transactions. At
December 31, 1994, the Company had net capital of approximately $1,935,000, or
an excess of approximately $1,685,000, over net capital required of $250,000.

For additional information, the Company's statement of financial condition
