DAILY TAX FREE INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
===============================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.
Daily Tax Free Income Fund, Inc. is a no-load, non-diversified, open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The Fund has two classes of stock authorized, Class A and Class B. The
Class A shares are subject to a service fee pursuant to the Distribution and
Service Plan. The Class B shares are not subject to a service fee. In all other
respects, the Class A and Class B shares represent the same interest in the
income and assets of the Fund. Distribution of Class B shares commenced November
23, 1992. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies as follows:
a) Valuation of Securities -
Investments are valued at amortized cost. Under this valuation method, a
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount or premium is
amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the instrument. The
maturity of variable rate demand instruments is deemed to be the longer of
the period required before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the
principal amount or the period remaining until the next interest rate
adjustment.
b) Federal Income Taxes -
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
all of its tax exempt and taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
provision for federal income tax is required.
c) Dividends and Distributions -
Dividends from investment income (excluding capital gains and losses, if
any, and amortization of market discount) are declared daily and paid
monthly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, realized on sales of
investments are made after the close of the Fund's fiscal year, as declared
by the Fund's Board of Directors.
d) General -
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income
is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Under the Investment Management Contract, the Fund pays an investment management
fee to Reich & Tang Asset Management L.P. (Manager), at the annual rate of .325%
of the Fund's average daily net assets not in excess of $750 million plus .30%
of such assets in excess of $750 million. The Manager is required to reimburse
the Fund for its expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage, and
extraordinary expenses) to the extent that such expenses, including the
investment management and the shareholder servicing and administration fees, for
any fiscal year exceed the lesser of (i) 1 1/2% of the Fund's average net assets
or (ii) the limits on investment company expenses prescribed by any state in
which the Fund's shares are qualified for sale. No such reimbursement was
required for the period ended April 30, 1995.
Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays to the Manager
an annual fee of .20% of the Fund's average daily net assets of $1.25 billion,
plus .19% of such assets in excess of $1.25 billion but not in excess of $1.5
billion, plus .18% of such assets in excess of $1.5 billion.
