                     THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENT POLICIES

      Each fund's  investment  objective may not be changed without  shareholder
approval.  Except where noted,  the other  investment  policies of a fund may be
changed by its board without shareholder  approval.  As with other mutual funds,
there is no assurance that a fund will achieve its investment objective.

      Each fund is a money market fund that invests in high quality money market
instruments that have, or are deemed to have,  remaining maturities of 13 months
or less. Money market  instruments are short-term  debt-obligations  and similar
securities.  They also  include  longer term bonds that have  variable  interest
rates or other special features that give them the financial  characteristics of
short-term  debt.  Each fund may purchase only those  obligations  that Mitchell
Hutchins  determines,  pursuant  to  procedures  adopted by its  board,  present
minimal  credit  risks and are "First Tier  Securities"  as defined in Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Investment Company Act").

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

      Money  Market  Portfolio's  investment  objective  is to  provide  maximum
current income consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. The fund's
investments include (1) U.S. and foreign government securities,  (2) obligations
of U.S. and foreign banks, (3) commercial paper and other short-term obligations
of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts and similar entities, (4)
repurchase agreements and (5) investment company securities.

      The fund may invest in  obligations  (including  certificates  of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, time deposits and similar obligations) of U.S. and foreign
banks only if the institution has total assets at the time of purchase in excess
of $1.5 billion. The fund's investments in non-negotiable time deposits of these
institutions  will be considered  illiquid if they have maturities  greater than
seven days.

      The fund  generally  may invest no more than 5% of its total assets in the
securities of a single issuer (other than U.S.  government  securities),  except
that the fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in First Tier  Securities
(defined  below) of a single issuer for a period of up to three  business  days.
The fund may  purchase  only  U.S.  dollar-denominated  obligations  of  foreign
issuers.

      The fund may  invest up to 10% of its net assets in  illiquid  securities.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The
fund  may  lend  its  portfolio   securities  to  qualified   broker-dealers  or
institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The fund
may  borrow up to 10% of its total  assets  for  temporary  purposes,  including
reverse  repurchase  agreements.  It may  invest  in  the  securities  of  other
investment companies.

U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO

      U.S.  Government  Portfolio's  investment  objective is to provide maximum
current income  consistent with liquidity and the  conservation of capital.  The
fund invests in U.S. government securities.  Under investment guidelines adopted
by its  board,  the fund  currently  invests  only in  securities,  such as U.S.
Treasury bills and notes and Ginnie Mae (formerly,  Government National Mortgage
Association)  certificates,  that are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States,  in repurchase  agreements  secured by such securities and in the
securities of other investment companies that invest only in these instruments.

      The fund may  invest up to 10% of its net assets in  illiquid  securities.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The
fund  may  lend  its  portfolio   securities  to  qualified   broker-dealers  or
institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The fund
may  borrow up to 10% of its total  assets  for  temporary  purposes,  including
reverse  repurchase  agreements.  It may  invest  in  the  securities  of  other
investment companies.

TAX-FREE FUND

      Tax Free Fund's investment  objective is to provide maximum current income
exempt from federal income tax consistent  with  liquidity and  conservation  of
capital.  The fund  invests  substantially  all of its  assets  in money  market
instruments  issued by  states,  municipalities,  public  authorities  and other
issuers,  the  interest on which is exempt from federal  income tax  ("municipal
securities").  The fund also may purchase  participation  interests in municipal
securities. Participation interests are pro rata interests in securities held by
others.

      Under normal  market  conditions,  the fund intends to invest in municipal
securities that pay AMT exempt interest -- that is, interest that is not an item
of tax preference for purposes of the federal  alternative  minimum tax ("AMT").
The fund,  however,  may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities that
pay  interest  that is subject to the AMT if, in  Mitchell  Hutchins'  judgment,
market conditions warrant.

      The fund  generally  may invest no more than 5% of its total assets in the
securities of a single  issuer.  The fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets
in illiquid  securities.  The fund may purchase  securities on a when-issued  or
delayed delivery basis. The fund may lend its portfolio  securities to qualified
broker-dealers  or  institutional  investors  in an  amount up to 33 1/3% of its
total  assets.  The fund may borrow up to 10% of its total assets for  temporary
purposes,  including  reverse  repurchase  agreements.  It  may  invest  in  the
securities of other investment companies.

CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND

      California  Municipal  Money  Fund's  investment  objective  is to provide
maximum  current income exempt from federal  income tax and California  personal
income tax consistent  with liquidity and  conservation  of capital.  Except for
temporary  purposes,  the fund  invests at least 80% and seeks to invest 100% of
its net assets in municipal  securities  issued by the State of California,  its
municipalities  and public authorities and other issuers if such obligations pay
interest that is exempt from federal  income tax as well as California  personal
income  tax  ("California  municipal  securities").  The fund also may  purchase
participation  interests  in  California  municipal  securities.   Participation
interests are pro rata interests in securities held by others.

      Under normal market  conditions,  the fund intends to invest in California
municipal securities that pay AMT exempt interest,  but may invest without limit
in  securities  that pay  interest  that is subject  to the AMT if, in  Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant.

      As a single state money  market fund,  the fund may invest more than 5% of
its total assets in the securities of a single issuer with respect to 25% of its
total  assets.  The fund may  invest  up to 10% of its net  assets  in  illiquid
securities.  The  fund may  purchase  securities  on a  when-issued  or  delayed
delivery  basis.  The  fund  may  lend its  portfolio  securities  to  qualified
broker-dealers  or  institutional  investors  in an  amount up to 33 1/3% of its
total  assets.  The fund may borrow up to 10% of its total assets for  temporary
purposes,  including  reverse  repurchase  agreements.  It  may  invest  in  the
securities of other investment companies.

NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND

      New Jersey Municipal Money Fund's investment objective is the maximization
of current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey  personal income
tax for residents of the State of New Jersey,  consistent with the  preservation
of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.  Except for temporary purposes, the
fund invests at least 65% of its total  assets,  and seeks to invest 100% of its
net assets,  in  municipal  securities  issued by the State of New  Jersey,  its
municipalities  and public authorities and other issuers if such obligations pay
interest that is exempt from federal  income tax as well as New Jersey  personal
income  tax ("New  Jersey  municipal  securities").  The fund also may  purchase
participation  interests  in  New  Jersey  municipal  securities.  Participation
interests  are pro rata  interests in  securities  held by others.  Under normal
market conditions, the fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in
participation interests or other securities issued by or purchased from banks or
other financial institutions.

      The fund  may  invest  without  limit in New  Jersey  securities  that pay
interest that is subject to the AMT.

NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND

      New York Municipal Money Fund's investment objective is to provide maximum
current  income  exempt from federal  income tax and New York State and New York
City  personal  income taxes  consistent  with  liquidity  and  conservation  of
capital.  Except for temporary purposes, the fund invests at least 80% and seeks
to invest 100% of its net assets in municipal  securities issued by the State of
New York, its  municipalities  and public  authorities and other issuers if such
obligations  pay interest that is exempt from federal  income tax as well as New
York  State  and New York  City  personal  income  taxes  ("New  York  municipal
securities").  The fund also may  purchase  participation  interests in New York
municipal  securities.   Participation  interests  are  pro  rata  interests  in
securities held by others.

      Under  normal  market  conditions,  the fund intends to invest in New York
municipal securities that pay AMT exempt interest,  but may invest without limit
in  securities  that pay  interest  that is subject  to the AMT if, in  Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant.

purposes,  including  reverse  repurchase  agreements.  It  may  invest  in  the
securities of other investment companies.


            THE FUNDS' INVESTMENTS, RELATED RISKS AND LIMITATIONS

      The following  supplements the information contained in the Prospectus and
above concerning each fund's investments,  related risks and limitations. Except
as otherwise  indicated in the  Prospectus or SAI, each fund has  established no
policy limitations on its ability to use the investments or techniques discussed
in these  documents.  New  forms  of money  market  instruments  continue  to be
developed.  The funds may invest in these  instruments to the extent  consistent
with their investment objectives.

      YIELDS  AND  CREDIT  RATINGS  OF  MONEY  MARKET  INSTRUMENTS;  FIRST  TIER
SECURITIES.  The  yields  on the money  market  instruments  in which  each fund
invests (such as U.S. government securities,  commercial paper, bank obligations
and  municipal  securities)  are  dependent  on a variety of factors,  including
general money market  conditions,  conditions in the  particular  market for the
obligation, the financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the
maturity of the obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings assigned by
nationally  recognized  statistical  rating  organizations  ("rating  agencies")
represent their opinions as to the quality of the obligations  they undertake to
rate. Ratings,  however,  are general and are not absolute standards of quality.
Consequently,  obligations with the same rating,  maturity and interest rate may
have different market prices.

      Subsequent  to its  purchase by a fund,  an issue may cease to be rated or
its rating may be reduced.  If a security in a fund's  portfolio  ceases to be a
First Tier  Security  or Mitchell  Hutchins  becomes  aware that a security  has
received a rating below the second highest rating by any rating agency, Mitchell
Hutchins and, in certain cases, a fund's board,  will consider  whether the fund
should  continue  to hold the  obligation.  A First Tier  Security is either (1)
rated in the highest short-term rating category by at least two rating agencies,
(2) rated in the highest short-term rating category by a single rating agency if
only that rating  agency has assigned the  obligation a short-term  rating,  (3)
issued by an issuer that has received such a short-term rating with respect to a
security that is comparable in priority and security, (4) subject to a guarantee
rated in the highest  short-term  rating  category or issued by a guarantor that


                                       4
<PAGE>


has received the highest  short-term  rating for a comparable debt obligation or
(5) unrated,  but determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of comparable quality. A
First Tier Security rated in the highest short-term  category by a single rating
agency at the time of purchase  that  subsequently  receives a rating  below the
highest  rating  category  from a  different  rating  agency may  continue to be
considered a First Tier Security.

      Opinions  relating to the  validity  of  municipal  securities  and to the
exemption of interest  thereon from federal income tax and (when available) from
the federal  alternative minimum tax, California personal income tax, New Jersey
personal  income tax and New York State and New York City personal  income taxes
are rendered by bond counsel to the respective  issuing  authorities at the time
of issuance.  Neither the municipal funds nor Mitchell  Hutchins will review the
proceedings  relating to the issuance of municipal  securities  or the basis for
these  opinions.  An issuer's  obligations  under its municipal  securities  are
subject to the  bankruptcy,  insolvency  and other laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors (such as the federal  bankruptcy laws) and federal,  state
and local laws that may be enacted that adversely  affect the tax-exempt  status
of interest on the municipal  securities  held by a fund or the  exempt-interest
dividends  received  by a fund's  shareholders,  extend the time for  payment of
principal or interest,  or both, or impose other constraints upon enforcement of
such obligations.  There is also the possibility that, as a result of litigation
or other  conditions,  the power or ability of issuers to meet their obligations
for the payment of principal of and interest on their  municipal  securities may
be materially and adversely affected.

      U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES  include  direct  obligations  of the  U.S.
Treasury (such as Treasury bills,  notes or bonds) and  obligations  issued or
guaranteed  as to principal  and interest  (but not as to market value) by the
U.S.  government,  its  agencies  or its  instrumentalities.  U.S.  government
securities  include   mortgage-backed   securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by
government   agencies   or   government-sponsored   enterprises.   Other  U.S.
government  securities  may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government  or supported  primarily or solely by the  creditworthiness  of the
government-related  issuer or, in the case of mortgage-backed  securities,  by
pools of assets.

      Money  Market  Portfolio  and U.S.  Government  Portfolio  may  invest  in
separately  traded  principal and interest  components  of securities  issued or
guaranteed  by the U.S.  Treasury,  which  are  traded  independently  under the
Separate Trading of Registered  Interest and Principal of Securities  ("STRIPS")
program.  Under the STRIPS programs,  the principal and interest  components are
individually numbered and separately issued by the U.S.
Treasury.

      COMMERCIAL PAPER AND OTHER SHORT-TERM OBLIGATIONS.  Money Market Portfolio
may purchase commercial paper, which includes  short-term  obligations issued by
corporations,  partnerships,  trusts or other  entities  to  finance  short-term
credit needs.  The fund also may purchase  other types of  non-convertible  debt
obligations  subject  to  maturity  constraints  imposed  by Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act. Descriptions of certain types of short-term  obligations
are provided below.

      ASSET-BACKED  SECURITIES.  The funds may  invest  in  securities  that are
comprised  of  financial  assets that have been  securitized  through the use of
trusts or special  purpose  corporations  or other  entities.  For taxable money
market  funds,  these  assets  may  include  motor  vehicle  and other  types of
installment sales contracts,  home equity loans, leases of various types of real
and personal  property and  receivables  from  revolving  credit  (credit  card)
agreements or other types of financial assets.  Certain municipal securities are
also  structured  as  asset-backed  securities.  Payments  or  distributions  of
principal  and  interest  may be  guaranteed  up to a certain  amount  and for a
certain time period by a letter of credit or pool  insurance  policy issued by a
financial institution unaffiliated with the issuer, or other credit enhancements
may be present.  See "The Funds'  Investments,  Related Risks and Limitations --
Credit and Liquidity Enhancements."

      VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES AND DEMAND INSTRUMENTS. Money Market
Portfolio and U.S. Government  Portfolio may purchase variable and floating rate
securities  with  remaining  maturities  in excess  of 13 months  issued by U.S.
government agencies or  instrumentalities  or guaranteed by the U.S. government.
In addition,  Money Market  Portfolio  may purchase  variable and floating  rate
securities of other issuers,  and the municipal funds may purchase  variable and
floating rate securities of municipal  issuers,  including  tender option bonds.
The yields on these  securities  are adjusted in relation to changes in specific
rates,  such as the prime rate,  and  different  securities  may have  different
adjustment rates. Certain of these obligations carry a demand feature that gives


                                       5
<PAGE>


a fund the right to tender them back to a specified party, usually the issuer or
a remarketing agent,  prior to maturity.  Each fund's investment in variable and
floating  rate  securities  must  comply  with  conditions  established  by  the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under which they may be considered to
have remaining maturities of 13 months or less. The funds will purchase variable
and floating rate securities of non-U.S.  government issuers that have remaining
maturities of more than 13 months only if the securities are subject to a demand
feature  exercisable  within  13 months or less.  See "The  Funds'  Investments,
Related Risks and Limitations -- Credit and Liquidity Enhancements."

      Generally,  a fund may exercise  demand  features (1) upon a default under
the  terms  of  the  underlying  security,  (2) to  maintain  its  portfolio  in
accordance  with its  investment  objective and policies or applicable  legal or
regulatory requirements or (3) as needed to provide liquidity to a fund in order
to  meet  redemption  requests.  The  ability  of  a  bank  or  other  financial
institution to fulfill its  obligations  under a letter of credit,  guarantee or
other liquidity arrangement might be affected by possible financial difficulties
of its  borrowers,  adverse  interest  rate or economic  conditions,  regulatory
limitations  or other  factors.  The interest  rate on floating rate or variable
rate  securities  ordinarily is readjusted on the basis of the prime rate of the
bank that  originated the financing or some other index or published  rate, such
as the 90-day U.S.  Treasury bill rate, or is otherwise  reset to reflect market
rates of interest.  Generally,  these interest rate adjustments cause the market
value of floating rate and variable rate  securities to fluctuate  less than the
market value of fixed rate securities.

      VARIABLE AMOUNT MASTER DEMAND NOTES.  Money Market Portfolio may invest in
variable amount master demand notes, which are unsecured redeemable  obligations
that permit investment of varying amounts at fluctuating  interest rates under a
direct agreement  between the fund and an issuer.  The principal amount of these
notes may be  increased  from time to time by the parties  (subject to specified
maximums)  or  decreased  by the fund or the issuer.  These notes are payable on
demand and may or may not be rated.

      INVESTING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES.  Money Market Portfolio's  investments in
U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may involve risks that are
different  from  investments  in U.S.  issuers.  These risks may include  future
unfavorable  political and economic  developments,  possible  withholding taxes,
seizure of foreign deposits,  currency controls,  interest  limitations or other
governmental restrictions that might affect the payment of principal or interest
on the fund's  investments.  Additionally,  there may be less publicly available
information  about foreign  issuers  because they may not be subject to the same
regulatory requirements as domestic issuers.

      CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY  ENHANCEMENTS.  A fund may invest in securities  that
have  credit  or  liquidity   enhancements   or  may  purchase  these  types  of
enhancements in the secondary  market.  Such  enhancements  may be structured as
demand features that permit the fund to sell the instrument at designated  times
and prices. These credit and liquidity  enhancements may be backed by letters of
credit or other  instruments  provided by banks or other financial  institutions
whose credit standing  affects the credit quality of the underlying  obligation.
Changes in the credit quality of these financial institutions could cause losses
to a fund and affect its share price. The credit and liquidity  enhancements may
have  conditions  that  limit  the  ability  of a fund to use them when the fund
wishes to do so.

      ILLIQUID SECURITIES.  The term "illiquid securities" means securities that
cannot be disposed of within  seven days in the  ordinary  course of business at
approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the securities and includes,
among  other  things,  repurchase  agreements  maturing in more than seven days,
restricted securities and municipal lease obligations (including certificates of
participation)  other than those  Mitchell  Hutchins has  determined  are liquid
pursuant to guidelines established by each fund's board. To the extent the funds
invest in illiquid  securities,  they may not be able readily to liquidate  such
investments and may have to sell other investments if necessary to raise cash to
meet obligations.

      Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended  ("Securities  Act") and may be sold only in privately  negotiated or
other  exempted  transactions  or  after  a  registration  statement  under  the
Securities Act has become effective.  Where registration is required, a fund may
be obligated to pay all or part of the registration  expenses and a considerable
period may elapse  between the time of the  decision to sell and the time a fund
may be permitted to sell a security under an effective  registration  statement.
If, during such a period,  adverse  market  conditions  were to develop,  a fund
might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell.



                                       6
<PAGE>

      However, not all restricted securities are illiquid. A large institutional
market  has  developed  for  many  U.S.  and  foreign  securities  that  are not
registered under the Securities Act. Institutional  investors generally will not
seek to sell these  instruments  to the general  public,  but instead will often
depend either on an efficient  institutional  market in which such  unregistered
securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for
repayment.  Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions
on resale to the general public or certain  institutions  is not  dispositive of
the liquidity of such investments.

      Institutional  markets for restricted  securities also have developed as a
result of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, which  establishes a "safe harbor"
from the registration requirements of that Act for resales of certain securities
to qualified  institutional  buyers.  Such markets include automated systems for
the trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and
foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association
of Securities Dealers,  Inc. An insufficient  number of qualified  institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
a fund,  however,  could affect  adversely the  marketability  of such portfolio
securities,  and the fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly
or at favorable prices.

      Each board has delegated the function of making day-to-day  determinations
of liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins pursuant to guidelines  approved by the board.
Mitchell  Hutchins takes into account a number of factors in reaching  liquidity
decisions,  which may include (1) the frequency of trades for the security,  (2)
the number of dealers that make quotes, or are expected to make quotes,  for the
security,  (3) the nature of the security and how trading is effected (E.G., the
time needed to sell the  security,  how bids are  solicited and the mechanics of
transfer)  and (4)  the  existence  of  demand  features  or  similar  liquidity
enhancements.  Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of restricted securities
in each fund's  portfolio  and reports  periodically  on such  decisions  to the
applicable board.

      In  making   determinations   as  to  the  liquidity  of  municipal  lease
obligations,  Mitchell Hutchins will distinguish  between direct  investments in
municipal  lease  obligations  (or  participations  therein) and  investments in
securities that may be supported by municipal lease  obligations or certificates
of  participation  therein.   Since  these  municipal  lease   obligation-backed
securities are based on a  well-established  means of  securitization,  Mitchell
Hutchins does not believe that  investing in such  securities  presents the same
liquidity issues as direct investments in municipal lease obligations.

      REPURCHASE   AGREEMENTS.   Money  Market  Portfolio  and  U.S.  Government
Portfolio each may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to any security
in  which  it is  authorized  to  invest,  except  that  securities  subject  to
repurchase agreements may have maturities in excess of 13 months. Each municipal
fund may enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with  respect  to U.S.  government
securities,   commercial  paper,  bank  certificates  of  deposit  and  bankers'
acceptances.  Repurchase  agreements are  transactions in which a fund purchases
securities  or  other  obligations  from a bank  or  securities  dealer  (or its
affiliate) and  simultaneously  commits to resell them to the counterparty at an
agreed-upon  date or upon  demand  and at a price  reflecting  a market  rate of
interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased  obligations.
Securities  or other  obligations  subject  to  repurchase  agreements  may have
maturities in excess of 13 months.  A fund  maintains  custody of the underlying
obligations prior to their  repurchase,  either through its regular custodian or
through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate
accounts for both the fund and its  counterparty.  Thus,  the  obligation of the
counterparty  to pay the  repurchase  price on the date agreed to or upon demand
is, in effect, secured by such obligations.

      Repurchase  agreements  carry  certain  risks not  associated  with direct
investments in securities,  including a possible  decline in the market value of
the  underlying  obligations.  If their value  becomes less than the  repurchase
price,  plus any agreed-upon  additional  amount,  the counterparty must provide
additional  collateral so that at all times the  collateral is at least equal to
the repurchase  price plus any  agreed-upon  additional  amount.  The difference
between the total amount to be received upon  repurchase of the  obligations and
the price that was paid by a fund upon  acquisition  is accrued as interest  and
included  in  its  net  investment  income.   Repurchase   agreements  involving
obligations other than U.S. government  securities (such as commercial paper and
corporate bonds) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of
certain protections in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. If the seller
or guarantor  becomes  insolvent,  a fund may suffer delays,  costs and possible
losses in connection  with the  disposition of collateral.  Each fund intends to


                                       7
<PAGE>


enter  into  repurchase  agreements  only with  counterparties  in  transactions
believed by Mitchell Hutchins to present minimum credit risks.

      REVERSE REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  Reverse repurchase agreements involve the
sale of securities  held by a fund subject to its  agreement to  repurchase  the
securities  at an  agreed-upon  date or upon demand and at a price  reflecting a
market rate of interest.  Reverse repurchase  agreements are subject to a fund's
limitation on borrowings  and may be entered into only with banks and securities
dealers.  While a  reverse  repurchase  agreement  is  outstanding,  a fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, cash or liquid securities,
marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to its obligations under the
reverse repurchase  agreement.  See "The Funds'  Investments,  Related Risks and
Limitations -- Segregated Accounts."

      Reverse  repurchase  agreements  involve  the risk  that the  buyer of the
securities sold by a fund might be unable to deliver them when the fund seeks to
repurchase.  If the buyer of  securities  under a reverse  repurchase  agreement
files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or trustee or receiver may
receive  an  extension  of time to  determine  whether to  enforce  that  fund's
obligation to repurchase the securities, and a fund's use of the proceeds of the
reverse  repurchase   agreement  may  effectively  be  restricted  pending  such
decision.

      WHEN-ISSUED  AND  DELAYED  DELIVERY  SECURITIES.  Each  fund may  purchase
securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis or may  purchase or sell  securities  for
delayed  delivery,  I.E.,  for issuance or delivery to or by the fund later than
the normal  settlement  date for such  securities at a stated price and yield. A
fund generally  would not pay for such  securities or start earning  interest on
them until they are received.  However,  when a fund undertakes a when-issued or
delayed  delivery  obligation,  it  immediately  assumes the risks of ownership,
including  the risks of price  fluctuation.  Failure  of the issuer to deliver a
security  purchased by a fund on a  when-issued  or delayed  delivery  basis may
result  in a  fund's  incurring  a loss or  missing  an  opportunity  to make an
alternative investment.

      A  security  purchased  on a  when-issued  or  delayed  delivery  basis is
recorded as an asset on the commitment  date and is subject to changes in market
value,  generally  based upon  changes  in the level of  interest  rates.  Thus,
fluctuation  in the value of the security from the time of the  commitment  date
will affect a fund's net asset value. When a fund commits to purchase securities
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, its custodian  segregates  assets to
cover the amount of the commitment.  See "The Funds' Investments,  Related Risks
and Limitations -- Segregated Accounts." Each fund may sell the right to acquire
the security prior to delivery if Mitchell  Hutchins deems it advantageous to do
so, which may result in a gain or loss to the fund.  Each municipal fund expects
that commitments to purchase when-issued or delayed delivery securities normally
will not exceed 25% of its assets (20% in the case of New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund).

      INVESTMENTS  IN  OTHER  INVESTMENT  COMPANIES.  Each  fund may  invest  in
securities  of other  money  market  funds,  subject to  Investment  Company Act
limitations,  which at present restrict these investments in the aggregate to no
more than 10% of the fund's total assets. The shares of other money market funds
are subject to the  management  fees and other  expenses of those funds.  At the
same time,  a fund would  continue to pay its own  management  fees and expenses
with  respect to all its  investments,  including  shares of other money  market
funds.  Each fund may invest in the  securities of other money market funds when
Mitchell  Hutchins believes that (1) the amounts to be invested are too small or
are  available  too late in the day to be  effectively  invested  in other money
market  instruments,  (2) shares of other money  market  funds  otherwise  would
provide a better return than direct investment in other money market instruments
or (3) such investments would enhance the fund's liquidity.

      LENDING  OF  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Each fund is  authorized  to lend its
portfolio securities to broker-dealers or institutional  investors that Mitchell
Hutchins deems qualified.  Lending  securities enables a fund to earn additional
income, but could result in a loss or delay in recovering these securities.  The
borrower of a fund's portfolio  securities must maintain  acceptable  collateral
with the fund's  custodian in an amount,  marked to market daily, at least equal
to the  market  value  of the  securities  loaned,  plus  accrued  interest  and
dividends.  Acceptable collateral is limited to cash, U.S. government securities
and irrevocable  letters of credit that meet certain  guidelines  established by
Mitchell  Hutchins.  Each fund may reinvest any cash  collateral in money market
investments or other short-term liquid  investments.  In determining  whether to
lend  securities  to  a  particular  broker-dealer  or  institutional  investor,
Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and during the period of the loan will monitor,
all relevant  facts and  circumstances,  including the  creditworthiness  of the



                                       8
<PAGE>


borrower.  Each fund will retain  authority to terminate any of its loans at any
time.  Each fund may pay reasonable  fees in connection  with a loan and may pay
the borrower or placing  broker a negotiated  portion of the interest  earned on
the  reinvestment  of cash held as  collateral.  Each fund will receive  amounts
equivalent to any interest,  dividends or other  distributions on the securities
loaned.  Each fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise
beneficial rights,  such as voting and subscription  rights, when regaining such
rights is considered to be in a fund's interest.

      Pursuant  to  procedures  adopted  by the board of each fund  governing  a
fund's  securities  lending  program,  PaineWebber has been retained to serve as
lending agent for a fund. The board of each fund also has authorized the payment
of fees (including fees calculated as a percentage of invested cash  collateral)
to PaineWebber for these services.  The board periodically reviews all portfolio
securities  loan  transactions  for which  PaineWebber  acted as lending  agent.
PaineWebber  also has been  approved as a borrower  under the fund's  securities
lending program.

      SEGREGATED  ACCOUNTS.  When a fund enters into certain  transactions  that
involve  obligations  to make future  payments to third  parties,  including the
purchase of  securities on a when-issued  or delayed  delivery  basis or reverse
repurchase  agreements,  it  will  maintain  with  an  approved  custodian  in a
segregated  account cash or liquid  securities,  marked to market  daily,  in an
amount  at  least  equal  to  a  fund's  obligation  or  commitment  under  such
transactions


CERTAIN POLICIES OF THE MUNICIPAL FUNDS

      Tax-Free Fund,  California  Municipal  Money Fund, New Jersey  Municipal
Money Fund and New York Municipal  Money Fund may be referred to  collectively
as the "municipal funds."

      NON-DIVERSIFIED  STATUS  OF  SINGLE  STATE  MUNICIPAL  FUNDS.   California
Municipal  Money Fund,  New Jersey  Municipal  Money Fund and New York Municipal
Money  Fund  are  "non-diversified  funds,"  as  that  term  is  defined  in the
Investment  Company Act. In general,  a  non-diversified  fund is not subject to
certain limitations on its ability to invest more than 5% of its total assets in
securities of a single issuer with respect to 75% of its assets. Rule 2a-7 under
the Investment  Company Act,  however,  imposes more  stringent  diversification
requirements  on money market  funds.  For single state  municipal  money market
funds,  Rule 2a-7 generally  requires that the securities of a single issuer may
not exceed 5% of the fund's  total  assets  with  respect to at least 75% of its
assets.  Nonetheless,  a single  state  municipal  money  fund may be subject to
greater risk than a money market fund that is more "diversified" because changes
in the financial condition of a single issuer may cause greater  fluctuations in
its yield or on its ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share.

      TYPES OF  MUNICIPAL  SECURITIES.  Each  municipal  fund may  invest in a
variety of municipal securities, as described below:

      MUNICIPAL  BONDS.  Municipal bonds are debt obligations that are issued by
states,  municipalities,  public  authorities  or  other  issuers  and  that pay
interest  that is exempt  from  federal  income tax in the  opinion of  issuer's
counsel.  The two  principal  classifications  of  municipal  bonds are "general
obligation" and "revenue"  bonds.  General  obligation  bonds are secured by the
issuer's  pledge of its full faith,  credit and taxing  power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable only from the revenues derived
from a particular  facility or class of facilities  or, in some cases,  from the
proceeds of a special excise tax or other  specific  revenue source such as from
the user of the  facility  being  financed.  The  term  "municipal  bonds"  also
includes "moral obligation" issues, which are normally issued by special purpose
authorities.  In  the  case  of  such  issues,  an  express  or  implied  "moral
obligation" of a related  government  unit is pledged to the payment of the debt
service,  but is usually  subject  to annual  budget  appropriations.  Custodial
receipts that  represent an ownership  interest in one or more  municipal  bonds
also are considered to be municipal bonds.  Various types of municipal bonds are
described in the following sections.

      MUNICIPAL  LEASE  OBLIGATIONS.  Municipal  bonds include  municipal  lease
obligations,  such as leases,  installment  purchase  contracts and  conditional
sales  contracts,  and certificates of  participation  therein.  Municipal lease
obligations  are  issued by state  and  local  governments  and  authorities  to
purchase land or various types of equipment or facilities  and may be subject to


                                       9
<PAGE>


annual budget  appropriations.  The funds  generally  invest in municipal  lease
obligations through certificates of participation.

      Although municipal lease obligations do not constitute general obligations
of the municipality for which the municipality's  taxing power is pledged,  they
ordinarily are backed by the municipality's  covenant to budget for, appropriate
and make the  payments  due under the lease  obligation.  The leases  underlying
certain municipal lease  obligations,  however,  provide that lease payments are
subject  to  partial  or full  abatement  if,  because  of  material  damage  or
destruction of the leased property,  there is substantial  interference with the
lessee's use or occupancy of such property. This "abatement risk" may be reduced
by the existence of insurance  covering the leased property,  the maintenance by
the lessee of reserve  funds or the  provision  of credit  enhancements  such as
letters of credit.

      Certain municipal lease obligations  contain  "non-appropriation"  clauses
which  provide  that  the  municipality  has no  obligation  to  make  lease  or
installment  purchase  payments in future years unless money is appropriated for
such purpose on a yearly basis.  Some municipal  lease  obligations of this type
are insured as to timely payment of principal and interest, even in the event of
a failure by the  municipality to appropriate  sufficient funds to make payments
under  the  lease.  However,  in  the  case  of  an  uninsured  municipal  lease
obligation,  a fund's  ability  to  recover  under  the  lease in the event of a
non-appropriation  or default  will be  limited  solely to the  repossession  of
leased  property  without  recourse  to the general  credit of the  lessee,  and
disposition of the property in the event of foreclosure might prove difficult.

      INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS ("IDBS") AND PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS ("PABS").
IDBs and PABs are  issued  by or on  behalf of  public  authorities  to  finance
various  privately  operated  facilities,  such as airport or pollution  control
facilities.  These  obligations  are considered  municipal bonds if the interest
paid  thereon  is exempt  from  federal  income  tax in the  opinion of the bond
issuer's counsel. IDBs and PABs are in most cases revenue bonds and thus are not
payable from the unrestricted revenues of the issuer. The credit quality of IDBs
and PABs is usually  directly  related to the credit standing of the user of the
facilities  being  financed.  IDBs issued  after August 15, 1986  generally  are
considered  PABs,  and to the extent a fund  invests in such PABs,  shareholders
generally  will be  required  to  include  a  portion  of their  exempt-interest
dividends from that fund in calculating their liability for the AMT. See "Taxes"
below.  Each  municipal  fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in IDBs and
PABs.

      PARTICIPATION   INTERESTS.   Participation   interests  are  interests  in
municipal   bonds,   including   IDBs,  PABs  and  floating  and  variable  rate
obligations,  that are owned by financial institutions.  These interests carry a
demand  feature  permitting  the  holder  to tender  them back to the  financial
institution,  which demand feature generally is backed by an irrevocable  letter
of credit or guarantee of the financial institution. The credit standing of such
financial institution affects the credit quality of the participation interests.

      A participation interest gives a fund an undivided interest in a municipal
bond  owned by a  financial  institution.  The  fund  has the  right to sell the
instruments  back to the financial  institution.  As discussed  above under "The
Funds'  Investments,  Related  Risks and  Limitations  -- Credit  and  Liquidity
Enhancements," to the extent that payment of an obligation is backed by a letter
of  credit,   guarantee  or  liquidity  support  arrangement  from  a  financial
institution,  such payment may be subject to the financial institution's ability
to satisfy that commitment.  Mitchell Hutchins will monitor the pricing, quality
and  liquidity of the  participation  interests  held by a fund,  and the credit
standing  of  financial  institutions  issuing  letters of credit or  guarantees
supporting  such  participation  interests on the basis of  published  financial
information,  reports of rating  services and financial  institution  analytical
services.

      PUT  BONDS.  A put bond is a  municipal  bond that  gives the  holder  the
unconditional  right to sell the bond back to the  issuer or a third  party at a
specified  price and exercise  date,  which is typically  well in advance of the
bond's  maturity  date. The obligation to purchase the bond on the exercise date
may be supported by a letter of credit or other credit support  arrangement from
a bank, insurance company or other financial institution, the credit standing of
which affects the credit quality of the obligation.

      If the put is a "one time only" put, the fund  ordinarily will either sell
the bond or put the bond,  depending upon the more favorable  price. If the bond
has a series of puts after the first  put,  the bond will be held as long as, in
the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins,  it is in the best interest of the fund to do
so. There is no assurance  that the issuer of a put bond acquired by a fund will


                                       10
<PAGE>


be able to  repurchase  the bond upon the exercise  date, if the fund chooses to
exercise its right to put the bond back to the issuer or to a third party.

      TENDER  OPTION  BONDS.   Tender  option  bonds  are  long-term   municipal
securities  sold by a bank or other  financial  institution  subject to a demand
feature  that  gives the  purchaser  the right to sell them to the bank or other
financial  institution  at par plus accrued  interest at  designated  times (the
"tender  option").  The municipal  funds may invest in bonds with tender options
that may be  exercisable  at intervals  ranging from daily to 397 days,  and the
interest  rate on the  bonds is  typically  reset  at the end of the  applicable
interval  in an  attempt  to  cause  the  bonds  to  have a  market  value  that
approximates  their par value, plus accrued interest.  The tender option may not
be exercisable in the event of a default on, or significant  downgrading of, the
underlying  municipal  securities,  and  may be  subject  to  other  conditions.
Therefore,  a fund's  ability to exercise the tender  option will be affected by
the credit standing of both the bank or other financial institution involved and
the issuer of the underlying securities.

      TAX-EXEMPT  COMMERCIAL  PAPER AND SHORT-TERM  MUNICIPAL  NOTES.  Municipal
bonds include tax-exempt  commercial paper and short-term  municipal notes, such
as tax anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes,  revenue  anticipation notes
and  other  forms  of  short-term  securities.  Such  notes  are  issued  with a
short-term maturity in anticipation of the receipt of tax funds, the proceeds of
bond placements and other revenues.

      MORTGAGE SUBSIDY BONDS. The funds also may purchase mortgage subsidy bonds
with a remaining  maturity  of less than 13 months that are issued to  subsidize
mortgages on single family homes and "moral  obligation"  bonds with a remaining
maturity  of less than 13 months  that are  normally  issued by special  purpose
public  authorities.  In some cases the  repayment  of such bonds  depends  upon
annual  legislative  appropriations;   in  other  cases  repayment  is  a  legal
obligation of the issuer,  and if the issuer is unable to meet its  obligations,
repayment  becomes a moral  commitment of a related  government  unit  (subject,
however, to such appropriations).

      STAND-BY  COMMITMENTS.  A municipal fund may acquire stand-by  commitments
under unusual market conditions to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Pursuant to a
stand-by  commitment,  a municipal bond dealer agrees to purchase the securities
that are the subject of the commitment at an amount equal to (1) the acquisition
cost (excluding any accrued  interest paid on  acquisition),  less any amortized
market premium and plus any accrued market or original issue discount,  plus (2)
all interest  accrued on the securities  since the last interest payment date or
the date the securities were purchased, whichever is later.

      A fund will enter into stand-by commitments only with those banks or other
dealers that, in the opinion of Mitchell Hutchins,  present minimal credit risk.
A fund's  right to  exercise  stand-by  commitments  will be  unconditional  and
unqualified. Stand-by commitments will not be transferable by a fund, although a
fund may sell the underlying securities to a third party at any time. A fund may
pay for stand-by  commitments  either  separately  in cash or by paying a higher
price for the securities  that are acquired  subject to such a commitment  (thus
reducing the yield to maturity otherwise available for the same securities). The
acquisition of a stand-by commitment will not ordinarily affect the valuation or
maturity of the underlying municipal  securities.  Stand-by commitments acquired
by a fund will be valued at zero in determining net asset value.  Whether a fund
paid directly or indirectly for a stand-by commitment,  its cost will be treated
as unrealized  depreciation and will be amortized over the period the commitment
is held by the fund.

      TEMPORARY AND DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS.  When Mitchell Hutchins believes that
there is an insufficient  supply of the type of municipal  securities in which a
municipal fund  primarily  invests,  or during other unusual market  conditions,
that municipal fund may temporarily  invest all or any portion of its net assets
in other types of municipal  securities.  In addition,  when  Mitchell  Hutchins
believes  that  there  is an  insufficient  supply  of  any  type  of  municipal
securities  or that  other  circumstances  warrant  a  defensive  posture,  each
municipal fund may hold cash and may invest all or any portion of its net assets
in taxable money market instruments,  including  repurchase  agreements.  To the
extent a municipal  fund holds  cash,  such cash would not earn income and would
reduce the fund's yield.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL SECURITIES

      The  following  information  provides  only a brief summary of the complex
factors  affecting  the financial  situation in California  (the "State") and is
derived from sources that are  generally  available to investors and is believed
to be accurate.  It is based in part on information  obtained from various State
and local agencies in California.  It should be noted that the  creditworthiness
of  obligations  issued by local  California  issuers  may be  unrelated  to the
creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State of California,  and there is
no  obligation  on the part of the  State to make  payment  on local  government
obligations in the event of default or financial difficulty.

GENERAL

      During the early  1990's,  California  experienced  significant  financial
difficulties,  which reduced its credit standing,  but the State's finances have
improved  significantly  since 1994,  with  ratings  increases  since 1996.  The
ratings of certain  related debt of other  issuers for which  California  has an
outstanding lease purchase,  guarantee or other contractual  obligation (such as
for state-insured  hospital bonds) are generally linked directly to California's
rating.  Should the financial  condition of California  deteriorate  again,  its
credit ratings could be reduced,  and the market value and  marketability of all
outstanding  notes and bonds issued by  California,  its public  authorities  or
local governments could be adversely affected.

ECONOMIC FACTORS

      California's  economy  is the  largest  among the 50 states and one of the
largest in the world.  The State's  population  of almost 34 million  represents
over 12 percent of the total United States  population and grew by 26 percent in
the 1980s, more than double the national rate.  Population growth slowed to less
than 1 percent  annually  in 1994 and 1995,  but rose to 1.8 percent in 1996 and
1.6 percent in 1997. During the early 1990's, net population growth in the State
was due to births and foreign  immigration,  but in recent  years,  in-migration
from the other states has increased.

      Total personal  income in the State, at an estimated $902 billion in 1998,
accounts  for almost 13  percent of all  personal  income in the  nation.  Total
employment  is over 15 million,  the majority of which is in the service,  trade
and manufacturing sectors.

      From mid-1990 to late 1993,  the State suffered a recession with the worst
economic,   fiscal  and  budget   conditions  since  the  1930s.   Construction,
manufacturing (especially aerospace), and financial services, among others, were
all severely affected,  particularly in Southern  California.  Employment levels
stabilized  by late 1993 and  pre-recession  job  levels  were  reached in 1996.
Unemployment,  while remaining higher than the national  average,  has come down
from its 10 percent  recession  peak to under 6 percent in early 1999.  Economic
indicators  show a steady and strong recovery  underway in California  since the
start  of 1994  particularly  in high  technology  manufacturing  and  services,
including    computer    software,    electronic    manufacturing   and   motion
picture/television  production,  and other services,  entertainment and tourism,
and  both  residential  and  commercial  construction.   International  economic
problems  starting in 1997 had some moderating  impact on California's  economy,
but  negative  impacts,  such as a sharp drop in exports to Asia which have hurt
the  manufacturing  and  agricultural  sectors,  have  apparently been offset by
increased exports to Latin American and other nations, and a greater strength in
services,   computer  software  and  construction.   Current  forecasts  predict
continued  strong growth of the State's  economy in 1999, with a slowdown in the
rate of  growth  predicted  in 2000 and  beyond.  Any delay or  reversal  of the
recovery may create new shortfalls in State revenues.

CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON TAXES, OTHER CHARGES AND APPROPRIATIONS

      LIMITATION ON PROPERTY TAXES.  Certain California Municipal Securities may
be  obligations  of  issuers  which  rely  in  whole  or in  part,  directly  or
indirectly,  on AD VALOREM  property  taxes as a source of  revenue.  The taxing
powers of  California  local  governments  and  districts are limited by Article
XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly
known as  "Proposition  13." Briefly,  Article XIIIA limits to 1 percent of full
cash  value of the  rate of AD  VALOREM  property  taxes  on real  property  and


                                       12
<PAGE>


generally  restricts the reassessment of property to 2 percent per year,  except
under  new  construction  or  change  of  ownership  (subject  to  a  number  of
exemptions).  Taxing entities may,  however,  raise AD VALOREM taxes above the 1
percent limit to pay debt service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.

      Under  Article  XIIIA,  the basic 1 percent AD VALOREM tax levy is applied
against the assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or
as of March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments.  This
system has  resulted  in widely  varying  amounts of tax on  similarly  situated
properties.  Several lawsuits have been filed challenging the  acquisition-based
assessment system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court
in 1992.

      Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through AD
VALOREM  taxes  above  the 1  percent  limit;  it also  requires  voters  of any
governmental  unit to give two-thirds  approval to levy any "special tax." Court
decisions,  however,  allowed a non-voter approved levy of "general taxes" which
were not dedicated to a specific use.

      LIMITATIONS  ON OTHER TAXES,  FEES AND CHARGES.  On November 5, 1996,  the
voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes
Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State  Constitution,
which contain a number of provisions  affecting the ability of local agencies to
levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.

      Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased  local taxes be submitted
to the electorate before they become effective.  Taxes for general  governmental
purposes  require a  majority  vote and taxes for  specific  purposes  require a
two-thirds vote. Further, any general purpose tax which was imposed, extended or
increased  without voter  approval after December 31, 1994 must be approved by a
majority vote within two years.

      Article XIIID  contains  several new  provisions  making it generally more
difficult for local  agencies to levy and maintain  "assessments"  for municipal
services  and  programs.  Article  XIIID also  contains  several new  provisions
affecting  "fees" and  "charges",  defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean
"any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed
by a local  government upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property
ownership,  including a user fee or charge for a property related  service." All
new and existing  property related fees and charges must conform to requirements
prohibiting,  among other  things,  fees and  charges  which  generate  revenues
exceeding the funds required to provide the property related service or are used
for unrelated purposes. There are new notice, hearing and protest procedures for
levying or increasing property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or
charges for sewer, water and refuse collection  services (or fees for electrical
and gas  service,  which are not treated as  "property  related" for purposes of
Article  XIIID),  no property  related fee or charge may be imposed or increased
without  majority  approval by the property  owners subject to the fee or charge
or,  at the  option  of the  local  agency,  two-thirds  voter  approval  by the
electorate residing in the affected area.

      In addition to the  provisions  described  above,  Article  XIIIC  removes
limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees
and charges.  Consequently,  local voters could, by future  initiative,  repeal,
reduce  or  prohibit  the  future  imposition  or  increase  of any  local  tax,
assessment,  fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may
be used in  cases  where  taxes or  charges  have  been or will be  specifically
pledged to secure debt issues.

      The  interpretation  and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be
determined  by the courts  with  respect to a number of  matters,  and it is not
possible  at  this  time  to  predict  with   certainly   the  outcome  of  such
determinations.  Proposition  218 is generally  viewed as restricting the fiscal
flexibility  of  local  governments,  and  for  this  reason,  some  ratings  of
California cities and counties have been, and others may be, reduced.

      APPROPRIATIONS  LIMITS. The State and its local governments are subject to
an annual  "appropriations  limit"  imposed by Article  XIIIB of the  California
Constitution,  enacted  by the  voters  in 1979  and  significantly  amended  by
Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively.  Article XIIIB prohibits
the State or any covered local government from spending  "appropriations subject
to limitation" in excess of the  appropriations  limit imposed.  "Appropriations


                                       13
<PAGE>


subject to limitation"  are  authorizations  to spend "proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax  revenues  and  certain  other  funds,  including  proceeds  from
regulatory  licenses,  user  charges  or other  fees,  to the  extent  that such
proceeds  exceed the cost of providing the product or service,  but "proceeds of
taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments.  No limit is imposed
on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable
user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.

      Among the  expenditures  not included in the Article XIIIB  appropriations
limit  are (1) the debt  service  cost of bonds  issued or  authorized  prior to
January 1, 1979, or subsequently  authorized by the voters,  (2)  appropriations
arising from certain  emergencies  declared by the Governor,  (3) appropriations
for  certain  capital  outlay  projects,  (4)  appropriations  by the  State  of
post-1989  increases  in  gasoline  taxes  and  vehicle  weight  fees,  and  (5)
appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.

      The  appropriations  limit for each year is  adjusted  annually to reflect
changes  in  cost  of  living  and  population,  and any  transfers  of  service
responsibilities  between government units. The definitions for such adjustments
were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.

      "Excess"  revenues are measured over a two year cycle.  Local  governments
must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50
percent of any excess,  with the other 50 percent paid to schools and  community
colleges.  With more liberal annual adjustment factors since 1988, and depressed
revenues  since 1990 because of the  recession,  few  governments  are currently
operating near their spending  limits,  but this condition may change over time.
Local  governments  may by voter approval exceed their spending limits for up to
four years.  During fiscal year 1986-87,  State  receipts from proceeds of taxes
exceeded  its  appropriations  limit by $1.1  billion,  which  was  returned  to
taxpayers. Since that year, appropriations subject to limitation have been under
the State limit.  State  appropriations  were $6.8  billion  under the limit for
fiscal year 1998-99.

      Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of
the California  Constitution,  the ambiguities and possible  inconsistencies  in
their terms,  and the  impossibility  of  predicting  future  appropriations  or
changes in  population  and cost of living,  and the  probability  of continuing
legal challenges,  it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of
these Articles on California Municipal Securities or on the ability of the State
or  local  governments  to  pay  debt  service  on  such  California   Municipal
Securities.  It is not possible,  at the present time, to predict the outcome of
any  pending   litigation  with  respect  to  the  ultimate  scope,   impact  or
constitutionality  of these  Articles  or the impact of any such  determinations
upon State  agencies  or local  governments,  or upon their  ability to pay debt
service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws
or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local
issuers to repay their obligations.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

      Under the California  Constitution,  debt service on  outstanding  general
obligation  bonds is the second  charge to the General Fund after support of the
public school system and public  institutions of higher education.  As of May 1,
1999, the State had outstanding approximately $19.7 billion of long-term general
obligation bonds, plus $246 million of general obligation commercial paper which
will be  refunded  by  long-term  bonds  in the  future,  and  $6.6  billion  of
lease-purchase  debt  supported by the State  General  Fund.  The State also had
about $15.3  billion of authorized  and unissued  long-term  general  obligation
bonds and lease-purchase debt. In FY 1997-98, debt service on general obligation
bonds and lease  purchase  debt was  approximately  4.4 percent of General  Fund
revenues.

RECENT FINANCIAL RESULTS

      The  principal  sources of General  Fund  revenues in  1997-1998  were the
California personal income tax (51 percent of total revenues), the sales tax (32
percent),  bank and corporation taxes (11 percent), and the gross premium tax on
insurance  (2  percent).  The  State  maintains  a  Special  Fund  for  Economic
Uncertainties (the "SFEU"),  derived from General Fund revenues, as a reserve to
meet cash needs of the General Fund,  but which is required to be replenished as
soon as sufficient  revenues are  available.  Year-end  balances in the SFEU are



                                       14
<PAGE>


included for financial  reporting purposes in the General Fund balance.  Because
of the recession and an accumulated  budget deficit,  no reserve was budgeted in
the SFEU from 1992-93 to 1995-96.

      Throughout  the  1980's,  State  spending  increased  rapidly as the State
population and economy also grew rapidly,  including increased spending for many
assistance programs to local governments,  which were constrained by Proposition
13 and other laws.  The largest  State  program is  assistance  to local  public
school  districts.  In 1988,  an initiative  (Proposition  98) was enacted which
(subject to suspension by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature and the Governor)
guarantees  local school  districts  and community  college  districts a minimum
share of State General Fund revenues (currently about 35 percent).

      RECENT BUDGETS.  As a result of the severe economic recession from 1990-94
and other factors,  during this period the State experienced substantial revenue
shortfalls,  and  greater  than  anticipated  social  service  costs.  The State
accumulated  and  sustained a budget  deficit in the budget  reserve,  the SFEU,
approaching  $2.8  billion at its peak at June 30,  1993.  The  Legislature  and
Governor  responded  to these  deficits  by  enacting  a series of fiscal  steps
between  FY1991-92  and  FY1994-95,  including  significant  cuts in health  and
welfare and other  program  expenditures,  tax  increases,  transfers of program
responsibilities  and some funding sources from the State to local  governments,
and  transfer  of about  $3.6  billion in annual  local  property  tax  revenues
primarily from cities and counties to local school  districts,  thereby reducing
State funding for schools.

      A  consequence  of the  accumulated  budget  deficits in the early 1990's,
together  with  other  factors  such as  disbursement  of funds to local  school
districts  "borrowed" from future fiscal years and hence not shown in the annual
budget, was to significantly  reduce the State's cash resources available to pay
its ongoing obligations.  The State's cash condition became so serious that from
late  spring  1992 until  1995,  the State had to rely on issuance of short term
notes which matured in a subsequent  fiscal year to finance its ongoing deficit,
and pay  current  obligations.  The last of these  deficit  notes was  repaid in
April, 1996.

      The  State's  financial  condition  improved  markedly  in the years  from
FY1995-96 onward, with a combination of better than expected revenues,  slowdown
in growth of social welfare programs,  and continued spending restraint based on
the actions taken in earlier years. The State's cash position also improved, and
no  external  deficit  borrowing  has  occurred  over the  fiscal  year since FY
1994-95.

      The economy grew strongly during these fiscal years, and as a result,  the
General Fund took in substantially  greater tax revenues (around $2.2 billion in
1995-96,  $1.6 billion in 1996-97,  $2.1 billion in 1997-98, and $1.0 billion in
1998-99)  than were  initially  planned  when the budgets  were  enacted.  These
additional  funds were  largely  directed  to school  spending  as  mandated  by
Proposition  98,  and to make up  shortfalls  from  reduced  federal  health and
welfare aid in 1995-96 and  1996-97.  The  accumulated  budget  deficit from the
recession years was finally eliminated. The Department of Finance estimates that
the State's  budget  reserve (the SFEU)  totaled  about $1.8 billion at June 30,
1998 and $1.9 billion at June 30, 1999.

      The  growth  in  General  Fund  revenues  since  the end of the  recession
resulted in  significant  increases in State funding for local school  districts
under Proposition 98. From the recession level of about $4,300 per pupil, annual
State  funding  has  increased  to over  $6,000  per  pupil in FY  1999-2000.  A
significant amount of the new moneys have been directed to specific  educational
reforms,  including  reduction of class sizes in many grade levels. The improved
budget  condition also allowed annual  increases in support for higher education
in the State, permitting increased enrollment and reduction of student fees.

      Part of the 1997-98  Budget Act was  completion  of State  welfare  reform
legislation  to  implement  the new  federal  law passed in 1996.  The new State
program,  called  "CalWORKs,"  became effective  January 1, 1998, and emphasizes
programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. As required by federal law,
new time  limits are placed on receipt  of welfare  aid.  Generally,  health and
welfare  costs have been  contained  even  during the recent  period of economic
recovery,  with the first real increases  (after  inflation) in welfare  support
levels occurring in 1999-2000.



                                       15

      FY  1998-99  BUDGET.  The FY  1998-99  Budget Act was signed on August 21,
1998. After giving effect to line-item  vetoes made by the Governor,  the Budget
plan  resulted in spending of about $57.3 billion for the General Fund and $14.7
billion for Special  Funds.  The Budget Act assumed  General  Fund  revenues and
transfers in FY 1998-99 of $57.0 billion. After enactment of the Budget Act, the
Legislature  passed a number of  additional  fiscal  bills.  Taking  these  into
account, the Administration projected in September, 1998 that the balance in the
SFEU at June 30, 1999 would be about $1.2 billion.

      One of the most important elements of the 1998-99 Budget Act was agreement
on substantial tax cuts. The largest of these was a phased-in cut in the Vehicle
License  Fee (an annual tax on the value of cars  registered  in the State,  the
"VLF").  Starting  on January 1, 1999,  the VLF has been  reduced by 25 percent.
Under  pre-existing law, VLF funds are  automatically  transferred to cities and
counties,  so the new  legislation  provided for the General Fund to make up the
reductions.  If State  General  Fund  revenues  continue  to grow above  certain
targeted levels in future years,  the cut could reach as much as 67.5 percent by
the year  2003.  The  initial  25  percent  VLF cut will be offset by about $500
million in General Fund money in FY 1998-99,  and $1 billion annually for future
years. Other tax cuts in FY 1998-99 included an increase in the dependent credit
exemption for personal  income tax filers,  restoration of a renter's tax credit
for taxpayers,  and a variety of business tax relief measures. The total cost of
these tax cuts was estimated at $1.4 billion for FY 1998-99.

      The Administration  released new projections for the balance of FY 1998-99
on May 14, 1999 as part of the May Revision of the  Governor's  Proposed  Budget
for 1999-2000 (the "May Revision").  The May Revision  revealed that the State's
economy was much stronger in late 1998 and into 1999 than the Administration had
thought when it made its first FY 1999-2000  Budget Proposal in January 1999. As
a result,  the May Revision  updated  1998-99  General Fund revenues to be $57.9
billion,  almost $1 billion  above the original FY 1998-99  estimates,  and over
$1.6 billion above the Administration's  January estimate.  Most of the increase
is  from  personal  income  taxes,  reflecting  stronger  wage  employment  than
previously  estimated,  and  extraordinary  growth in capital gain  realizations
resulting from the stock market's rise. The May Revision projected the SFEU will
have a balance of almost $1.9 billion at June 30, 1999.

      Although,  as noted, the Administration  projected a budget reserve in the
SFEU of about $1.9  billion on June 30,  1999,  the General Fund fund balance on
that date also  reflects  $1.0 billion of "loans" which the General Fund made to
local  schools in the  recession  years,  representing  cash  outlays  above the
mandatory   minimum   funding  level.   Settlement  of  litigation   over  these
transactions  in July 1996 calls for  repayment  of these  loans over the period
ending in 2001-02, about equally split between outlays from the General Fund and
from  schools'  entitlements.  The 1998-99  Budget Act  contained a $300 million
appropriation from the General Fund toward this settlement

      FY 1999-2000 BUDGET. The newly elected Governor,  Gray Davis, released his
proposed FY 1999-00 Budget in January 1999. It projected  somewhat lower General
Fund revenues than in earlier  projections,  due to slower economic growth which
was  expected in late 1998,  but totaling an estimated  $60.3  billion.  The May
Revision has sharply increased the revenue estimates, by over $2.7 billion, to a
total of almost $63.0 billion,  which would represent a 9 percent increase above
FY 1998-99.  Again,  the greatest  increase is expected in personal income taxes
(about 10 percent  year-over-year  increase),  with more  moderate  increases in
sales taxes (6 percent) and corporate taxes (3 percent).

      The 1999-00  Budget Act was signed on June 29, 1999,  only the second time
in the decade the budget was in place at the start of the fiscal year. After the
Governor  used his  line-item  veto power to reduce  expenditures  by about $581
million,  the final spending plan called for about $63.7 billion of General Fund
expenditures,  $16.1 billion of Special Fund  expenditures,  and $1.5 billion in
bond funded expenditures. The Governor's final budget actions left the SFEU with
an estimated  balance of $881 million at June 30,  2000,  but the Governor  also
reduced spending to set aside $300 million for future  appropriation  for either
employee  pay raises or potential  litigation  costs.  If not fully used,  these
"set-aside" funds would increase the SFEU year-end balance.

      The final Budget Act generally provided increased funding for a wide range
of  programs.  Education  spending  under  Proposition  98 received  the largest
increase (over $2.3 billion above 1998-99), with other significant increases for
higher education,  health and welfare, natural resources and capital outlay. The


                                       16
<PAGE>


budget provides  several hundred million dollars in direct new aid to cities and
counties. A proposal is being drafted to place a constitutional amendment on the
ballot in 2000 to provide  more  extensive,  permanent  fiscal  relief for local
government.

      The final spending plan includes several targeted tax cuts for businesses,
totaling  under $100  million in  1999-00.  The plan also  includes a  one-time,
one-year  additional  cut of 10 percent in the Vehicle  License Fee for calendar
year 2000.  This cut will cost the  General  Fund about $500  million in each of
1999-00 and 2000-01 to make up lost funds for local governments.  Under the 1998
law,  the VLF cut to 35  percent  would  become  permanent  in the year  2001 if
General Fund revenues reach a certain specified level in 2000-01.

      Although the State's  strong economy is producing  record  revenues to the
State government,  the State's budget continues to be under stress from mandated
spending on education, a rising prison population, and social needs of a growing
population with many immigrants. These factors which limit State spending growth
also put pressure on local  governments.  There can be no  assurances  that,  if
economic  conditions  weaken,  or other  factors  intercede,  the State will not
experience budget gaps in the future.

BOND RATING

      The  ratings  on  California's  long-term  general  obligation  bonds were
reduced in the early  1990's from "AAA"  levels  which had existed  prior to the
recession.  After 1996, the three major rating  agencies raised their ratings of
California's  general  obligation bonds,  which as of July 1, 1999 were assigned
ratings of "A+" from Standard & Poor's, "Aa3" from Moody's and "AA-" from Fitch.

      There can be no  assurance  that such ratings  will be  maintained  in the
future. It should be noted that the  creditworthiness  of obligations  issued by
local  California  issuers may be unrelated to  creditworthiness  of obligations
issued by the State of  California,  and that there is no obligation on the part
of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The State is  involved  in certain  legal  proceedings  (described  in the
State's recent  financial  statements)  that, if decided against the State,  may
require the State to make significant  future  expenditures or may substantially
impair  revenues.  Trial courts have  recently  entered  tentative  decisions or
injunctions  which would  overturn  several  parts of the State's  recent budget
compromises. The matters covered by these lawsuits include reductions in welfare
payments and the use of certain  cigarette  tax funds for health  costs.  All of
these cases are subject to further  proceedings  and appeals,  and if California
eventually loses, the final remedies may not have to be implemented in one year.

YEAR 2000 PREPARATIONS

      The State and local  governments,  along with all other public and private
institutions in the nation, face a major challenge to ensure that their computer
systems,  including  microchips embedded into existing machinery,  will not fail
prior to or at the January 1, 2000 date which may not be recognized  properly by
software   utilizing  only  two  digits  to  identify  a  year.  The  new  State
Administration  has placed a very high priority on "Year 2000"  remediation  and
contingency  planning.  The State has a  Department  of  Information  Technology
("DOIT") which coordinates  activities,  provides technical  assistance to State
agencies and local governments, and reports on the status of remediation efforts
by over 100 State departments and agencies.

      DOIT has reported  that, as of early 1999,  372 of 564 "mission  critical"
systems in State  government  had been  remediated  (although  final testing was
still going on in some  cases).  Of the balance,  54 were being  retired and 138
were in  process.  DOIT does not report on all State  agencies.  In  addition to
hardware and software changes, agencies are preparing business contingency plans
in case of computer  problems at 1/1/2000,  and are actively  coordinating  with
outside  agencies,  vendors,  contractors  and others with whom computer data is
shared.  The State Treasurer and State Controller,  responsible for State fiscal



                                       17
<PAGE>

controls and debt service payments,  have reported they were fully remediated by
December 31, 1998 and are spending the 1999 year in testing and  confirmation of
their systems.

      The State has  expended  and plans to spend many  hundreds  of millions of
dollars on Year 2000  projects of all sorts,  and has set aside  several tens of
millions of dollars in contingency funds to support  late-coming needs. There is
no survey of local government  costs, or the overall status of their activities.
It is likely that larger  government  agencies are better  prepared at this time
than smaller ones. Both the State and local governments are preparing  emergency
plans for Year 2000 computer  difficulties  similar to their normal planning for
natural emergencies, such as floods or earthquakes.

OBLIGATIONS OF OTHER ISSUERS

      OTHER ISSUERS OF CALIFORNIA  MUNICIPAL  SECURITIES.  There are a number of
State agencies,  instrumentalities and political  subdivisions of the State that
issue Municipal  Securities,  some of which may be conduit  revenue  obligations
payable from  payments  from private  borrowers.  These  entities are subject to
various  economic  risks  and  uncertainties,  and  the  credit  quality  of the
securities  issued by them may vary  considerably  from the  credit  quality  of
obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.

      STATE  ASSISTANCE.  Property  tax revenues  received by local  governments
declined more than 50 percent following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently,
the California Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of
the State's General Fund surplus to local agencies,  the reallocation of certain
State  revenues to local  agencies and the  assumption  of certain  governmental
functions  by the State to assist  municipal  issuers to raise  revenues.  Total
local  assistance from the State's General Fund was budgeted at approximately 75
percent of General Fund  expenditures  in recent years,  including the effect of
implementing  reductions in certain aid  programs.  To reduce State General Fund
support for school  districts,  the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local
governments  to  transfer  $3.9  billion  of  property  tax  revenues  to school
districts,  representing  loss of the  post-Proposition  13 "bailout" aid. Local
governments have in return received greater revenues and greater  flexibility to
operate health and welfare programs.  However, except for agreement in 1997 on a
new program  for the State to  substantially  take over  funding for local trial
courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million  annually),  there has been
no large-scale reversal of the property tax shift to help local government.

      To the  extent  the  State  should be  constrained  by its  Article  XIIIB
appropriations  limit,  or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other
fiscal  considerations,  the  absolute  level,  or the rate of growth,  of State
assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced.  Any such reductions
in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints  already  experienced
by many local  governments,  particularly  counties.  Los  Angeles  County,  the
largest  in the State,  was  forced to make  significant  cuts in  services  and
personnel,  particularly  in the health  care  system,  in order to balance  its
budget in FY1995-96 and  FY1996-97.  Orange  County,  which emerged from Federal
Bankruptcy  Court  protection in June 1996,  has  significantly  reduced  county
services and personnel,  and faces strict financial  conditions  following large
investment fund losses in 1994 which resulted in bankruptcy.

      Counties  and cities may face further  budgetary  pressures as a result of
changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August,
1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties
play a large role in the new system,  and are given  substantial  flexibility to
develop and  administer  programs to bring aid  recipients  into the  workforce.
Counties  are also  given  financial  incentives  if  either  at the  county  or
statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties
are also  subject to  financial  penalties  for  failure  to meet such  targets.
Counties  remain  responsible to provide  "general  assistance"  for able-bodied
indigents who are ineligible for other welfare programs. The long-term financial
impact of the new CalWORKs system on local governments is still unknown.

      ASSESSMENT  BONDS.  California  Municipal  Securities which are assessment
bonds may be adversely  affected by a general decline in real estate values or a
slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by
land  which  is  undeveloped  at the  time of  issuance  but  anticipated  to be
developed  within a few years after issuance.  In the event of such reduction or
slowdown,  such development may not occur or may be delayed,  thereby increasing
the risk of a default on the bonds.  Because  the special  assessments  or taxes


                                       18
<PAGE>


securing  these  bonds  are not the  personal  liability  of the  owners  of the
property assessed,  the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds.
Moreover,  in most  cases the  issuer  of these  bonds is not  required  to make
payments on the bonds in the event of  delinquency in the payment of assessments
or taxes,  except from amounts,  if any, in a reserve fund  established  for the
bonds.

      CALIFORNIA  LONG  TERM  LEASE  OBLIGATIONS.  Based  on a  series  of court
decisions,  certain long-term lease  obligations,  though typically payable from
the  general  fund  of  the  State  or  a   municipality,   are  not  considered
"indebtedness"  requiring voter approval.  Such leases,  however, are subject to
"abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial
use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is
not a default,  and there may be no  remedies  available  to the  holders of the
certificates  evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The
most common  cases of  abatement  are failure to  complete  construction  of the
facility  before the end of the period  during  which lease  payments  have been
capitalized  and  uninsured  casualty  losses  to  the  facility  (E.G.,  due to
earthquake).  In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease  obligation,
lease  payments may be  interrupted  (if all  available  insurance  proceeds and
reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due.  Although
litigation is brought from time to time which  challenges the  constitutionality
of such lease  arrangements,  the  California  Supreme  Court issued a ruling in
August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

      The  repayment  of  industrial  development  securities  secured  by  real
property  may be affected by  California  laws  limiting  foreclosure  rights of
creditors.  Securities  backed  by  health  care and  hospital  revenues  may be
affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health
care providers under Medi-Cal (the State's  Medicaid  program),  including risks
related to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.

      Limitations  on AD VALOREM  property  taxes may  particularly  affect "tax
allocation" bonds issued by California  redevelopment  agencies.  Such bonds are
secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment  project
area  after the start of  redevelopment  activity.  In the event  that  assessed
values in the  redevelopment  project decline (E.G.,  because of a major natural
disaster such as an earthquake),  the tax increment  revenue may be insufficient
to make  principal  and interest  payments on these bonds.  Both Moody's and S&P
suspended  ratings on  California  tax  allocation  bonds after the enactment of
Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.

      Proposition 87, approved by California  voters in 1988,  requires that all
revenues  produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which
increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation  indebtedness.
As a result,  redevelopment agencies (which,  typically,  are the issuers of tax
allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes
on property in the project  area are  increased to repay  voter-approved  bonded
indebtedness.

      The effect of these various  constitutional and statutory changes upon the
ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal
on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore,  other measures affecting the
taxing or spending authority of California or its political  subdivisions may be
approved or enacted in the  future.  Legislation  has been or may be  introduced
which would modify  existing  taxes or other  revenue-raising  measures or which
either would further limit or,  alternatively,  would  increase the abilities of
state and local  governments to impose new taxes or increase  existing taxes. It
is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation
will be enacted. Nor is it possible,  at present, to determine the impact of any
such  legislation  on  California  Municipal  Securities  in which  the Fund may
invest,  future  allocations  of  state  revenues  to local  governments  or the
abilities  of state or local  governments  to pay the  interest on, or repay the
principal of, such California Municipal Securities.

      Substantially  all of  California  is  within an  active  geologic  region
subject to major  seismic  activity.  Northern  California  in 1989 and Southern
California in 1994 experienced major earthquakes  causing billions of dollars in
damages.  The federal government  provided more than $13 billion in aid for both
earthquakes,  and  neither  event is  expected  to have any  long-term  negative
economic  impact.  Any  California  Municipal  Obligation  in the Fund  could be


                                       19
<PAGE>


affected by an  interruption  of  revenues  because of damaged  facilities,  or,
consequently,  income  tax  deductions  for  casualty  losses  or  property  tax
assessment reductions. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by
the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained  earthquake  insurance  coverage
rates;  (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of
widespread  losses;  or (iii) the  federal or State  government  to  appropriate
sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES

      The financial condition of the State of New Jersey, its public authorities
(the  "Authorities") and its local  governments,  could affect the market values
and  marketability  of,  and  therefore  the net  asset  value per share and the
interest income of New Jersey  Municipal Money Fund, or result in the default of
existing  obligations,  including obligations which may be held by the Fund. The
following section provides only a brief summary of the complex factors affecting
the financial situation in New Jersey and is based on information  obtained from
New Jersey, certain of its Authorities and certain other localities, as publicly
available on the date of this SAI. The  information  contained in such  publicly
available documents has not been independently verified. It should be noted that
the  creditworthiness of obligations issued by local issuers may be unrelated to
the  creditworthiness of New Jersey, and that there is no obligation on the part
of New Jersey to make payment on such local  obligations in the event of default
in the absence of a specific guarantee or pledge provided by New Jersey.

ECONOMIC FACTORS

      New Jersey is the ninth largest state in population and the fifth smallest
in land area.  With an average of 1,075 people per square  mile,  it is the most
densely  populated of all the states.  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. The extensive
facilities of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey,  the Delaware River
Port Authority and the South Jersey Port  Corporation  across the Delaware River
from Philadelphia augment the air, land and water  transportation  complex which
has influenced much of the State's economy.  The State's central location in the
northeastern  corridor,  the transportation and port facilities and proximity to
New York City make the State an attractive  location for corporate  headquarters
and international business offices. According to the United States Bureau of the
Census and the  Department of Labor,  the population of New Jersey was 7,170,000
in  1970,   7,365,000  in  1980,  7,730,000  in  1990  and  8,053,000  in  1997.
Historically,  New  Jersey's  average per capita  income has been well above the
national  average,  and in 1997 the State ranked  second among the states in per
capita personal income ($32,233).

      While New Jersey's economy  continued to expand during the late 1980s, the
level of growth slowed considerably after 1987. By the beginning of the national
recession in July 1990 (according to the National Bureau of Economic  Research),
construction  activity had already  been  declining in New Jersey for nearly two
years,  growth had tapered off markedly in the service sectors and the long-term
downward  trend of  factory  employment  had  accelerated,  partly  because of a
leveling off of industrial demand  nationally.  The onset of recession caused an
acceleration of New Jersey's job losses in construction  and  manufacturing,  as
well as an employment  downturn in such previously  growing sectors as wholesale
trade, retail trade,  finance,  utilities and trucking and warehousing.  The net
effect was a decline in the State's  total  nonfarm wage and salary  employment,
according to the U.S.  Dept. of Labor,  from a peak of 3.69 million in 1989 to a
low of 3.46 million in 1992.  This low has been followed by an employment  gain,
reaching  3.72  million at year-end  1997.  The New Jersey  Department  of Labor
reports  that  employment  growth  continued  at 2.1  percent  in 1998,  to 3.82
million.

      The annual  average  jobless rate has fallen from 8.5 percent in 1992,  to
6.2 percent in 1996,  to 5.1 percent in 1997,  reaching 4.8 percent in 1998.  In
November 1998, the State's  unemployment  level of 184,000 and its  unemployment
rate of 4.5 percent were the lowest since the first calendar quarter of 1990.

      The New Jersey  Department  of Labor  reports  that from  January  1998 to
January 1999, on a seasonally adjusted basis, private nonfarm employment climbed
to 3.26 million,  an increase of 58,200 or 1.8 percent.  Nongovernment  services
employment  increased  to 2.64  million,  an increase of 64,400 or 2.5  percent.
Manufacturing  declined to 474,600,  a reduction of 10,000 or slightly less than
one percent.



                                       20
<PAGE>

      The U.S. Department of Labor reports that non-manufacturing employment has
increased  4.1 percent  over the  ten-year  period  1987-97 and  comprises  88.5
percent of employment in New Jersey at year-end  1997.  Total  non-manufacturing
employment,  including contract  construction,  was 3.576 million in 1987, 3.458
million in 1992, and 3.724 million in 1997.

      Conditions  have  slowly  improved  in the  construction  industry,  where
employment has risen by 21,100 since its low in May 1992. Between 1992 and 1996,
this sector's hiring rebound was driven primarily by increased  homebuilding and
nonresidential  projects.  During 1996 and early 1997, public works projects and
homebuilding  became  the  growth  segments  while  nonresidential  construction
lessened but remained  positive.  Construction  employment,  after  falling from
163,400 in 1987 to 110,200 in 1992, has recovered to a level of 131,300 in 1997.

      In the manufacturing  sector,  employment losses have continued during the
past ten years.  Total  manufacturing  employment  in New Jersey was  672,200 in
1987,  530,400 in 1992, and 482,100 in 1997, a ten-year reduction of 28 percent.
Manufacturing   employment   comprised  11.5  percent  of  employment  in  1997.
Manufacturing  durable  goods  employment is down 38 percent over the ten years,
while non-durable goods employment is down 20 percent.

      Total  employment in New Jersey has changed from 4.248 million in 1987, to
3.988 million in 1992, to 4.207 million in 1997. Looking forward, the New Jersey
Department of Labor projects that the State's  non-farm  employment  growth will
occur almost  exclusively  in the service  industries,  such as  transportation,
communications,  utilities,  wholesale  and retail  trade,  financial  services,
insurance,  real estate and public education. The State projects continuing slow
decline in manufactured goods employment.

STATE FINANCES

      The State  operates on a fiscal year  beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
For example, "Fiscal Year 2000" refers to the State's fiscal year beginning July
1, 1999 and ending June 30, 2000.

      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. Revenues received from taxes and unrestricted by statute, most
federal  revenue and certain  miscellaneous  revenue  items are  recorded in the
General  Fund.  The  appropriations  act  provides the basic  framework  for the
operation of the General  Fund.  Undesignated  Fund  Balances are  available for
appropriation in succeeding fiscal years. There have been positive  Undesignated
Fund  Balances  in the  General  Fund at the end of each  year  since  the State
Constitution  was adopted in 1947. The estimates for Fiscal Year 1999 and Fiscal
Year 2000  reflect  the amounts  contained  in the  Governor's  Fiscal Year 2000
Budget Message delivered on January 25, 1999.

      Actual  General  Fund  balances in Fiscal  Years 1997 and 1998 were $280.5
million and $228.3  million,  respectively,  and for Fiscal Years 1999 and 2000,
they are projected to be $311.3 million and $112.9 million.  Total  Undesignated
Fund balances in Fiscal Years 1997 and 1998 were  $1,107.9  million and $1,257.3
million,  respectively, and for Fiscal Years 1999 and 2000 they are projected to
be $1,051.5 million and $750.1 million.

      In July 1991, S&P lowered the State's general  obligation bond rating from
AAA to AA.

      The State sold  $2.75  billion  in  taxable  bonds in 1997 to balance  the
budget and finance an underfunded  pension fund. The source of revenue for these
bonds depends on annual State appropriations.

FISCAL YEARS 1999 AND 2000 STATE REVENUE ESTIMATES

      The  January  1999  estimate  of total  fiscal  year 1999  revenue  is $18
billion.  The three largest taxes, Gross Income,  Sales and Use, and Corporation
Business, account for 70 percent of total revenues.



                                       21
<PAGE>

      SALES  AND USE TAX.  The  revised  estimate  forecasts  Sales  and Use tax
collections for Fiscal Year 1999 as $5.02 billion,  a 6.25 percent increase from
the Fiscal Year 1998 revenue. The Fiscal Year 2000 estimate of $5.26 billion, is
a 4.8 percent increase from the Fiscal Year 1999 estimate.

      GROSS  INCOME  TAX.  The  revised  estimate  forecasts  Gross  Income  Tax
collections  for Fiscal Year 1999 of $6.1 billion,  a 5.5 percent  increase from
Fiscal Year 1998. The Fiscal Year 2000 estimate of $6.5 billion is a 6.8 percent
increase  from the Fiscal Year 1999  estimate.  Included in the Fiscal Year 1999
estimate and the Fiscal Year 2000  estimate is the second year of a property tax
deduction,  to be phased in over a three-year period,  permitting a deduction by
resident  taxpayers  against gross income tax of a percentage of their  property
taxes.

      CORPORATION  BUSINESS  TAX.  The revised  estimate  forecasts  Corporation
Business  Tax  collection  for Fiscal  Year 1999 as $1.5  billion,  a 20 percent
increase  from Fiscal Year 1998  revenue.  The Fiscal Year 2000 estimate of $1.6
billion, is a 5.3 percent increase from the Fiscal Year 1999 estimate.

      GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.  Estimated receipts from State taxes and revenues,
including the three principal taxes set forth above,  are forecasts based on the
best  information  available at the time of such forecasts.  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 being more or less than forecasted.

      Should  revenues be less than the amount  anticipated  in the budget for a
fiscal year,  the Governor  may,  pursuant to statutory  authority,  prevent any
expenditure  under any  appropriation.  There are additional  means by which the
Governor may ensure that the State is operated  efficiently and does not incur a
deficit.  No  supplemental  appropriation  may be enacted  after  adoption of an
appropriations  act  except  where  there  are  sufficient  revenues  on hand or
anticipated,  as certified by the Governor,  to meet such appropriation.  In the
past when  actual  revenues  have been less than the amount  anticipated  in the
budget,  the Governor has exercised her plenary  powers  leading to, among other
actions,  implementation  of a hiring freeze for all State  departments  and the
discontinuation of programs for which  appropriations  were budgeted but not yet
spent. Under the State Constitution,  no general appropriations law or other law
appropriating  money for any State purpose 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 of revenue on hand and anticipated to
be available for such fiscal year, as certified by the Governor.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

      The State of New Jersey is  currently  addressing  Year 2000  ("Y2K") data
processing  compliance  issues.  As of January,  1999, the Office of Information
Technology reports that  approximately 75 percent of centrally  maintained State
systems are complete; departmental systems are in varying stages of remediation,
and all systems are expected to be completed  and tested prior to the  beginning
of the year 2000.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO NEW YORK MUNICIPAL SECURITIES

      The financial  condition of the State of New York ("New York State" or the
"State"),   its  public   authorities  and  public  benefit   corporations  (the
"Authorities") and its local governments, particularly The City of New York (the
"City"),  could affect the market values and marketability of, and therefore the
net asset value per share and the interest  income of Tax-Free  Fund or New York
Municipal  Money  Fund,  or  result  in the  default  of  existing  obligations,
including  obligations  which  may be  held  by a fund.  The  following  section
provides  only a brief  summary of the complex  factors  affecting the financial
situation in New York and is based on information  obtained from New York State,
certain of its  Authorities,  the City and certain other  localities as publicly
available on the date of this SAI. The  information  contained in such  publicly
available documents has not been independently verified. It should be noted that
the  creditworthiness of obligations issued by local issuers may be unrelated to
the  creditworthiness  of New York State, and that there is no obligation on the
part of New York State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of
default in the absence of a specific  guarantee  or pledge  provided by New York
State.

ECONOMIC FACTORS

      New  York  is the  third  most  populous  state  in the  nation  and has a
relatively high level of personal wealth. The State's economy is diverse, with a
comparatively  large share of the nation's finance,  insurance,  transportation,
communications and services  employment,  and a very small share of the nation's
farming  and  mining  activity.  The  State's  location  and its  excellent  air
transport  facilities  and natural  harbors  have made it an  important  link in
international  commerce.  Travel and tourism constitute an important part of the
economy. Like the rest of the nation, New York has a declining proportion of its
workforce  engaged in  manufacturing,  and an increasing  proportion  engaged in
service industries.

      Both the State and the City experienced  substantial  revenue increases in
the  mid-1980s  and late  1990s  attributable  directly  (corporate  income  and
financial  corporations taxes) and indirectly  (personal income and a variety of
other  taxes) to growth in new jobs,  rising  profits and  capital  appreciation
derived from the finance sector of the City's economy.  Economic activity in the
City has  experienced  periods of growth and  recession  and can be  expected to
experience  periods of growth and recession in the future.  In recent years, the
City has  experienced  increases in employment.  Real per capita personal income
(I.E.,  per capita personal income adjusted for the effects of inflation and the
differential in living costs) has generally  experienced fewer fluctuations than
employment in the City. Although the City periodically  experienced  declines in
real per capita  personal income between 1969 and 1981, real per capita personal
income in the City has generally increased from the mid-1980s until the present.
In nearly all of the years  between  1969 and 1988 the City  experienced  strong
increases in retail sales.  However,  from 1989 to 1993, the City  experienced a
weak period of retail  sales.  Since 1994,  the City has returned to a period of
growth in retail  sales.  Overall,  the City's  economic  improvement  continued
strongly  into  fiscal  year  1999.  Much of the  increase  can be traced to the
performance  of the  securities  industry,  but the City's economy also produced
gains in the retail trade sector,  the hotel and tourism industry,  and business
services, with private sector employment higher than previously forecasted.  The
City's current  Financial  Plan assumes that,  after strong growth in 1998-1999,
moderate  economic growth will exist through calendar year 2003, with moderating
job growth  and wage  increases.  However,  there can be no  assurance  that the
economic  projections  assumed in the Financial  Plan will occur or that the tax
revenues  projected in the Financial Plan to be received will be received in the
amounts anticipated.  Additionally, the securities industry is more important to
the New York economy  than the  national  economy,  potentially  amplifying  the
impact of downturn.  In 1997,  the  finance,  insurance  and real estate  sector
accounted for 19.5 percent of nonfarm labor and proprietors'  income  statewide,
compared to 8.5 percent nationwide.

      During the calendar  years 1987 through 1998, the State's rate of economic
expansion  was  somewhat  slower  than  that of the  nation  as a whole.  In the
1990-1991 national recession, the economy of the Northeast region in general and
the State in  particular  was more heavily  damaged than that of the rest of the
nation and has been slower to recover.  The total employment  growth rate in the
State has been below the national average since 1987.

      The national  economy has  maintained  a robust rate of growth  during the
past  six  quarters  as the  expansion,  which  is well  into  its  ninth  year,
continues.  The national expansion,  if it continues through February 2000, will
be the longest on record.  Since early 1992,  approximately 19 million jobs have
been added nationally.  Output growth has averaged 3.2 percent over this period,
essentially  the  same as the 3.3  percent  average  annual  growth  during  the
post-World War II period.  The State economy has also continued to expand,  with
over 600,000 jobs added since late 1992.  Employment growth has been slower than
in the nation during this period,  although the State's relative performance has
improved  in the  last  two  years.  Growth  in  average  wages  in New York has
generally  outperformed  the nation,  while growth in personal income per capita
has kept pace with the nation.

      The seasonally  adjusted  unemployment rate in New York was 5.6 percent in
1998 (compared to 6.4 percent one year  earlier).  From 1997 to 1998, the number
of nonfarm jobs  increased by 160,900 or 2.0 percent,  and the number of private
sector jobs increased by 142,900 or 2.1 percent.

      The  State has  released  information  regarding  the  national  and state
economic  activity in its Interim Annual  Information  Statement of the State of
New York, dated July 29, 1999 (the "Annual Information Statement'). At the State
level, the Annual Information  Statement projects continued expansion during the
1999  calendar  year,  with  employment  growth  gradually  slowing  as the year


                                       23
<PAGE>


progresses.  The financial and business service sectors are expected to continue
to do well, while  employment in the  manufacturing  and government  sectors are
expected to post only small, if any,  declines.  On an average annual basis, the
employment  growth rate in the State is expected to decline  slightly from 1998.
Personal  income is expected to record  moderate  gains in 1999.  Wage growth in
1999 is  expected to be slower than in the  previous  year as the recent  robust
growth in bonus payments moderates.

FISCAL YEAR 1999-2000

      The State has not yet  adopted a budget  for the  1999-2000  fiscal  year,
which began on April 1, 1999.

      On January 27, 1999,  the State issued its  proposed  1999-2000  Financial
Plan in conjunction  with the release of the  Governor's  Executive  Budget.  On
February 12, 1999, the State issued a revised cash-basis  Financial Plan for the
1999-2000 fiscal year that reflected the Governor's  amendments to his 1999-2000
Executive Budget.  The proposed  1999-2000  Financial Plan (as amended) projects
total General Fund receipts and  transfers  from other funds of $38.81  billion,
and projects total disbursements and transfers to other funds of $37.14 billion.
The State's projected closing General Fund balance is $2.47 billion. The closing
balance is  comprised  of $1.79  billion  that the  Governor is proposing to set
aside as a tax reduction reserve,  $473 million in the Tax Stabilization Reserve
Fund, $100 million in the Contingency  Reserve Fund (an amount that subsequently
increased  to $107  million as a result of a deposit  at the end of the  1998-99
fiscal year), and $100 million in a reserve for possible  collective  bargaining
costs in 1999-2000.

      On March 10, 1999, the Legislature and the Governor  conducted a consensus
economic and revenue  forecasting  process as required under law. As part of the
consensus revenue  forecasting  process,  the Division of the Budget updated the
economic forecast upon which receipts estimates are based.

      As a  result  of  these  revisions  to the  national  and  State  economic
forecasts,  the  Division  of the Budget  revised its  estimate of receipts  for
1999-2000 to include an additional $150 million in receipts. A complete revision
to the State's  economic  forecast  and receipts  estimate  will  accompany  the
enacted  budget and the 1999-2000  State  Financial  Plan.  The State expects to
produce and issue an Annual Information Statement upon enactment of a budget for
the 1999-2000 fiscal year.

      Personal  income tax  collections  for  1999-2000  are  projected to reach
$22.88 billion,  or $2.80 billion above the reported 1998-99  collection  total.
This increase is due in part to refund reserve transactions which serve to shift
receipts of $1.79 billion into 1999-2000 from the year earlier. Collections also
benefit from the  estimated  increase in income tax liability of 13.5 percent in
1998 and 5.3 percent in 1999.  The large  increases in liability in recent years
have  been   supported  by  the  continued   surge  in  taxable   capital  gains
realizations,  activity  related at least  partially  to changes in federal  tax
treatment of such income.  The State  expects the growth in capital gains income
to  plateau  in 1999.  Growth in  1999-2000  personal  income  tax  receipts  is
partially  offset by the  diversion of such  receipts into the School Tax Relief
Fund,  which  finances the STAR tax  reduction  program.  For  1999-2000,  $1.22
billion is expected to be deposited into this fund, an increase of $638 billion.

      Business tax receipts  are expected to total $4.56  billion in  1999-2000,
$299  million  below the  1998-99  estimated  result,  caused by tax  reductions
already scheduled in law and slower growth in the underlying tax base.  Receipts
from user taxes and fees are projected to total $7.17 billion, a decrease of $17
million  from  the  current  year,   reflecting  the   incremental   effects  of
already-enacted  tax  reductions  and the diversion of $30 million of additional
motor vehicle  registration fees to the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.
Other tax  receipts  are  projected to total $980  million,  $148 million  below
1998-99. Total miscellaneous receipts are projected to reach $1.28 billion, down
almost $228 million from 1998-99.

      General Fund  disbursements in 1999-2000,  including  transfers to support
capital projects,  debt service and other funds are estimated at $37.14 billion.
This  represents  an  increase of $655  million  from  1998-99.  Grants to local
governments  constitute  approximately  67 percent of all General Fund spending,
and  include  financial  assistance  to  local  governments  and  not-for-profit
corporations,  as well as  entitlement  benefits to  individuals.  The 1999-2000


                                       24

Financial Plan projects spending of $24.84 billion in this category, an increase
of $15 million over the prior year.

      The  economic  and  financial  condition  of the State may be  affected by
various financial,  social, economic and political factors. These factors can be
very complex,  may vary from fiscal year to fiscal year,  and are frequently the
result  of  actions   taken  not  only  by  the  State  and  its   agencies  and
instrumentalities,  but also by entities,  such as the federal government,  that
are  not  under  the  control  of the  State.  Because  of the  uncertainty  and
unpredictability  of these factors,  their impact cannot, as a practical matter,
be included in the assumptions  underlying the State's projections at this time.
As a  result,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the  State  economy  will  not
experience  results in the current  fiscal  year that are worse than  predicted,
with  corresponding  material and adverse effects on the State's  projections of
receipts and disbursements.

      The State  Financial  Plan is based upon  forecasts  of national and State
economic  activity  developed through both internal analysis and review of State
and national economic forecasts prepared by commercial  forecasting services and
other public and private forecasters.  Economic forecasts have frequently failed
to predict  accurately  the timing and  magnitude of changes in the national and
the State economies, including consumer attitudes toward spending, the extent of
corporate and governmental restructuring, the condition of the financial sector,
federal  fiscal and  monetary  policies,  the level of interest  rates,  and the
condition  of the world  economy,  which  could  have an  adverse  effect on the
State's projections of receipts and disbursements.

      Many complex  political,  social and economic forces influence the State's
economy and finances, which may in turn affect the State's Financial Plan. These
forces may affect the State  unpredictably  from  fiscal year to fiscal year and
are influenced by  governments,  institutions,  and  organizations  that are not
subject to the State's control.  Because of the uncertainty and unpredictability
of  changes in these  factors,  their  impact  cannot be fully  included  in the
assumptions underlying the State's projections.

      An additional  risk to the State  Financial Plan arises from the potential
impact of certain  litigation and of federal  disallowances  now pending against
the State,  which could adversely affect the States  projections of receipts and
disbursements.  The State  Financial Plan assumes no  significant  litigation or
federal  disallowance or other federal actions that could affect State finances,
but has significant reserves in the event of such an action.

      Owing to the factors mentioned above and other factors,  the State may, in
future  years,   face  substantial   potential  budget  gaps  resulting  from  a
significant  disparity  between tax revenues  projected  from a lower  recurring
receipts  base and the future  costs of  maintaining  State  programs at current
levels.

FISCAL YEAR 1998-99

      REVENUE  BASE.  The State's  principal  revenue  sources are  economically
sensitive, and include the personal income tax, user taxes and fees and business
taxes.  The General Fund  receipts  (including  transfers  from other funds) for
fiscal  year  1998-99  totaled of $36.74  billion,  an  increase  of almost $1.2
billion from the $34.55 billion recorded in 1997-98.

      The  transfer of a portion of the  surplus  recorded in 1997-98 to 1998-99
exaggerates  the `real' growth in State receipts from year to year by depressing
reported  1997-98 figures and inflating  1998-99  projections.  Conversely,  the
incremental  cost of tax reductions newly effective in 1998-99 and the impact of
statutes earmarking certain tax receipts to other funds work to depress apparent
growth below the underlying growth in receipts  attributable to expansion of the
State's economy.

      The Personal Income Tax is imposed on the income of  individuals,  estates
and trusts and is based on federal  definitions  of income and  deductions  with
certain  modifications.  This tax  continues  to  account  for over  half of the
State's General Fund receipts base. Net personal income tax collections  reached
$20.08 billion, nearly $2.3 billion above the reported 1997-98 collection total.
Since 1997  represented  the  completion of the 20 percent  income tax reduction
program enacted in 1995, growth from 1997 to 1998 was unaffected by major income
tax reductions.  Adding to the projected  annual growth is the net impact of the
transfer of the surplus from 1997-98 to the current year which affects  reported


                                       25
<PAGE>



collections by over $2.4 billion on a year-over-year  basis, as partially offset
by the  diversion  of slightly  over $700  million in income tax receipts to the
STAR fund (the School Tax Relief  Program)  to finance  the initial  year of the
school tax reduction  program.  The STAR program was enacted in 1997 to increase
the State share of school funding and reduce residential school taxes.

      User  taxes and fees are  comprised  of three  quarters  of the State four
percent  sales and use tax (the  balance,  one percent,  flows to support  Local
Government   Assistance   Corporation   ("LGAC")  debt  service   requirements),
cigarette, alcoholic beverage, container and auto rental taxes, and a portion of
the motor fuel excise  levies.  Also included in this category are receipts from
the motor  vehicle  registration  fees and  alcoholic  beverage  license fees. A
portion of the motor fuel tax and motor vehicle registration fees and all of the
highway use tax are earmarked for dedicated transportation funds.

      Receipts  from user taxes and fees  receipts are  projected to total $7.24
billion, an increase of $19 million from reported collections in the prior year.
The growth in yield of the sales tax in 1998-99, after adjusting for tax law and
other  changes,  is projected  at 4.7 percent.  The yields of most of the excise
taxes in this category show a long-term declining trend,  particularly cigarette
and alcoholic  beverage taxes.  These declines are exacerbated by revenue losses
from  scheduled  and  newly  enacted  tax  reductions,  and  by an  increase  in
earmarking  of motor  vehicle  registration  fees to the  Dedicated  Highway and
Bridge Trust Fund.

      Business taxes include  franchise  taxes based  generally on net income of
general  business,  bank and  insurance  corporations,  as well as gross receipt
taxes on utilities and galling-based petroleum business taxes.

      Total business tax collections in 1998-99 are $4.86 billion,  $190 million
less than received in the prior fiscal year. The category includes receipts from
the largely  income-based  levies on general  business  corporations,  banks and
insurance  companies,  gross  receipts  taxes on  energy  and  telecommunication
service providers and a per-gallon imposition on petroleum business.

      Other  taxes  include  estate,  gift and real  estate  transfer  taxes,  a
pari-mutuel  tax and other  minor  levies.  They  totaled  $1.14  billion -- $44
million above last year's amount.

      Miscellaneous  receipts  include  investment  income,  abandoned  property
receipts,  medical  provider  assessments,  minor federal grants,  receipts from
public  authorities,   and  certain  other  license  and  fee  revenues.   Total
miscellaneous  receipts are projected to reach $1.51  billion,  down almost $100
million from the prior year.

      Transfers  from other funds to the General Fund  consist  primarily of tax
revenues in excess of debt service  requirements,  particularly  the one percent
sales tax used to support  payments to LGAC.  Transfers from other funds totaled
$1.9 billion, or $100 million less than total receipts from this category during
1997-98.  Total  transfers  of  sales  taxes  in  excess  of LGAC  debt  service
requirements  increased by approximately  $71 million,  while transfers from all
other  funds  fell  by  $271  million,  primarily  reflecting  the  absence,  in
1998-1999,  of a  one-time  transfer  of nearly  $200  million  for  retroactive
reimbursement of certain social services claims from the federal government.

      STATE DEBT. The State's  1999-2000  borrowing  plan projects  issuances of
$235 million in general obligation bonds (including $140 million for purposes of
redeeming  outstanding BANs) and $140 million in general  obligation  commercial
paper.  The  State  is  expected  to  issue  $366  million  in  Certificates  of
Participation  to finance  equipment  purchases  during  1999-2000  fiscal year.
Borrowings   by   public    authorities    pursuant   to   lease-purchase    and
contractual-obligation   financings  for  capital  programs  of  the  State  are
projected to total approximately  $2.63 billion,  including costs of issuance in
1999-2000.

      OUTYEAR PROJECTIONS OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. The 1999-2000 Executive
Budget  projects  General Fund  disbursements  of $38.19  billion in 2000-01 and
$39.97 billion in 2001-02.

      State law requires the Governor to propose a balanced budget each year. In
recent  years,  the State  has  closed  projected  budget  gaps of $5.0  billion
(1995-96),  $3.9 billion (1996-97) and $2.3 billion  (1997-98).  The State, as a
part of the 1999-2000 Executive Budget projections, projects a 1999-2000 General


                                       26
<PAGE>


Fund budget gap of  approximately  $1.14 billion in 2000-01 and $2.07 billion in
2001-02.  The budget gaps are projected  after making the use of $593 million in
2000-01 and $1.2 billion in 2001-02 from the 1998-99 tax reduction reserve.

      Sustained  growth in the  State's  economy  could  contribute  to  closing
projected   budget  gaps  over  the  next  several  years,   both  in  terms  of
higher-than-projected  tax  receipts  and  in  lower-than-expected   entitlement
spending. The State does not expect that past rates of growth will be sustained.
The State's  projections in 1999-2000  currently  assume actions to achieve $600
million in lower  disbursements and $250 million in additional receipts from the
settlement of State claims  against the tobacco  industry The State expects that
the 1999-2000  Financial  Plan will achieve  savings from  initiatives  by State
agencies to deliver  services  more  efficiently,  unspecified  annual  spending
efficiencies,   workforce  management  efforts,   maximization  of  federal  and
non-General  Fund  spending  offsets,  and  other  actions  necessary  to  bring
projected disbursements and receipts into balance.

      The STAR  program,  which  dedicates  a portion  of  personal  income  tax
receipts to fund school tax reductions, has a significant impact on General Fund
receipts.  STAR is projected to reduce personal income tax revenues available to
the General Fund by an  estimated  $1.3  billion in 2000-01.  Measured  from the
1998-99 base,  scheduled  reductions to estate and gift,  sales and other taxes,
reflecting  tax cuts  enacted in 1997-98 and  1998-99,  will lower  General Fund
taxes and fees by an estimated $1.8 billion in 2000-01.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

      New York State is currently  addressing  Year 2000 ("Y2K") data processing
compliance  issues.  As of June  1999,  the State had  completed  87  percent of
overall  compliance  efforts on the high-priority  systems;  236 systems are now
Year 2000 compliant;  and over 98 percent of the overall  compliance  effort for
its mission-critical  systems. The State has procured independent validation and
verification  services from a qualified vendor to perform an automated review of
code that has been fixed and a testing review  process for all  mission-critical
systems which is scheduled to be completed by September, 1999.

      While the State is taking  what it believes  to be  appropriate  action to
address Year 2000 compliance,  there can be no guarantee that all of the State's
systems and equipment  will be Year 2000 compliant and that there will not be an
adverse  impact upon State  operations or finances as a result.  Since Year 2000
compliance by outside  parties is beyond the State's  control to remediate,  the
failure of outside parties to achieve Year 2000 compliance could have an adverse
impact on State operations or finances as well.

LABOR COSTS

      The State government workforce is mostly unionized,  subject to the Taylor
Law  which  authorizes   collective  bargaining  and  prohibits  (but  has  not,
historically, prevented) strikes and work slowdowns. Many of the labor contracts
expired in the spring of 1999.

      The State and the United University Professionals (UUP) union have reached
a tentative agreement on a new four-year labor contract. The State is continuing
negotiations  with other unions  representing  State  employees,  the largest of
which is the Civil Service Employees  Association (CSEA). CSEA previously failed
to ratify a tentative  agreement on a new  four-year  contract  earlier in 1999.
While the  1999-2000  Executive  Budget has  reserved  $100 million for possible
collective  bargaining  agreements,  no similar  reserves  are  contained in the
current out year projections to cover the recurring costs of any new agreements.
The  outyear  gaps  outlined  above are  likely to  increase  as a result of new
collective  bargaining  agreements  and  legislative  action  on  the  1999-2000
Executive Budget.

      The New York State and Local  Retirement  Systems  (the  Systems)  provide
coverage for public employees of the State and its localities  (except employees
of New York City and teachers,  who are covered by separate  plans).  Net assets
available for benefits of the systems have increased to $112.7  billion  million
in March,  1999.  Under the funding method used by the Systems,  the net assets,
plus future actuarially determined contributions,  are expected to be sufficient
to  pay  for  the  anticipated   benefits  of  current  members,   retirees  and
beneficiaries.



                                       27
<PAGE>

      Between  1994-95 and 1996-97,  the State's  workforce was reduced by about
20,000  positions,  with levels  stabilized  in the last two fiscal  years.  The
workforce is projected to remain at approximately 191,000 persons in 1999-2000.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE

      Spending on welfare is  projected  in the  1999-2000  fiscal year at $1.49
billion,  a decline of 2.7 percent  from the prior year.  Since  1994-95,  State
spending on welfare has fallen by more than 25  percent,  driven by  significant
welfare  changes  initiated at the Federal and State levels and a large,  steady
decline in the number of people receiving benefits.  The State does not forecast
further significant reductions in this spending category.

      Federal law  enacted in 1996  abolished  the federal Aid to Families  with
Dependent  Children  program  (AFDC) and created a new  Temporary  Assistance to
Needy  Families  with  Dependent  Children  program  (TANF)  funded with a fixed
federal block grant to states. The law also imposes (with certain  exceptions) a
five-year  durational  limit on TANF  recipients,  requires  that  virtually all
recipients be engaged in work or community  service  activities within two years
of receiving benefits,  and limits assistance provided to certain immigrants and
other classes of individuals.

      Local assistance  spending by the State for Children and Families Services
is projected at $864 million in  1999-2000,  a reduction of 4.7 percent from the
year earlier.  The decline in General Fund spending is offset by higher spending
on child care and child welfare services from federal TANF funds.

MEDICAID

      New York  participates in the federal  Medicaid program under a state plan
approved by the Health Care  Financing  Administration.  The federal  government
provides a substantial  portion of eligible  program  costs,  with the remainder
shared  by the  State and its  counties  (including  the  City).  Basic  program
eligibility  and benefits are  determined by federal  guidelines,  but the State
provides a number of optional benefits and expanded  eligibility.  Program costs
have increased  substantially in recent years, and account for a rising share of
the State budget.  Federal law requires that the State adopt reimbursement rates
for  hospitals and nursing  homes that are  reasonable  and adequate to meet the
costs that must be incurred by efficiently and economically  operated facilities
in  providing  patient  care,  a  standard  that has led to past  litigation  by
hospitals  and  nursing  homes  seeking  higher  reimbursement  from the  State.
Medicaid is the second largest program,  after grants to local  governments,  in
the General  Fund.  Payments for Medicaid are  projected to be $5.50  billion in
1999-2000, a decrease of $87 million, or 1.6 percent, from the prior year.

THE STATE AUTHORITIES

      The  fiscal  stability  of the  State  is  related  in part to the  fiscal
stability of its public authorities.  Public authorities refer to public benefit
corporations,  created  pursuant  to State law,  other  than local  authorities.
Public  authorities  are not subject to the  constitutional  restrictions on the
incurrence of debt which apply to the State itself and may issue bonds and notes
within the amounts and restrictions set forth in legislative authorization.  The
State's  access to the public  credit  markets  could be impaired and the market
price of its outstanding debt may be materially and adversely affected if any of
its  public  authorities  were  to  default  on  their  respective  obligations,
particularly those using the financing techniques referred to as State-supported
or State-related debt. As of December 31, 1998, there were 17 public authorities
with  outstanding  debt of $100 million or more,  and the aggregate  outstanding
debt,  including  refunding  bonds,  of all  State  public  authorities  was $94
billion,  only a portion of which constitutes  State-supported  or State-related
debt.

      The State has numerous public  authorities with various  responsibilities,
including those which finance, construct and/or operate revenue producing public
facilities.  Public  authority  operating  expenses and debt  service  costs are
generally paid by revenues generated by the projects financed or operated,  such
as tolls charged for the use of highways, bridges or tunnels, charges for public
power, electric and gas utility services, rentals charged for housing units, and
charges for occupancy at medical care facilities.



                                       28
<PAGE>

      In addition, State legislation authorizes several financing techniques for
public authorities.  Also there are statutory  arrangements  providing for State
local  assistance  payments  otherwise  payable to  localities  to be made under
certain  circumstances  to  public  authorities.   Although  the  State  has  no
obligation to provide additional assistance to localities whose local assistance
payments  have been paid to public  authorities  under these  arrangements,  the
affected  localities may seek additional  State  assistance if local  assistance
payments  are  diverted.   Some  authorities  also  receive  moneys  from  State
appropriations to pay for the operating costs of certain of their programs.  The
MTA  receives  the bulk of this money in order to provide  transit and  commuter
services.

      Beginning  in  1998,  the  Long  Island  Power  Authority  (LIPA)  assumed
responsibility  for  the  provision  of  electric  utility  services  previously
provided by Long Island  Lighting  Company for Nassau,  Suffolk and a portion of
Queen Counties, as part of an estimated $7 billion financing plan.

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

      Since 1980,  the State has enacted  several taxes -- including a surcharge
on  the  profits  of  banks,   insurance   corporations   and  general  business
corporations doing business in the 12 county Metropolitan  Transportation Region
served by the MTA and a special one quarter of 1 percent  regional sales and use
tax -- that provide revenues for mass transit purposes,  including assistance to
the MTA. Since 1987 State law has required that the proceeds of a one quarter of
1 percent mortgage  recording tax paid on certain  mortgages in the Metropolitan
Transportation  Region be  deposited  in a  special  MTA fund for  operating  or
capital expenses.  In 1993, the State dedicated a portion of certain  additional
State petroleum business tax receipts to fund operating or capital assistance to
the MTA. For the 1999-2000 fiscal year, State assistance to the MTA is projected
to total  approximately  $1.43  billion,  an increase  of $55  million  over the
1998-99 fiscal year.

      State legislation accompanying the 1996-97 adopted State budget authorized
the MTA,  Triborough  Bridge and Tunnel Authority and Transit Authority to issue
an aggregate of $6.5 billion in bonds to finance a portion of the $12.17 billion
MTA capital plan for the 1995 through 1999 calendar years (the "1995-99  Capital
Program").  In July 1997, the Capital  Program Review Board (CPRB)  approved the
1995-99 Capital Program  (subsequently amended in August 1997), which supersedes
the  overlapping  portion of the MTA's  1992-96  Capital  Program.  The  1995-99
Capital  Program is the fourth  capital  plan since the  Legislature  authorized
procedures for the adoption,  approval and amendment of MTA capital programs and
is designed to upgrade the  performance of the MTA's  transportation  systems by
investing in new rolling stock,  maintaining  replacement schedules for existing
assets and  bringing  the MTA system  into a state of good  repair.  The 1995-99
Capital Program assumes the issuance of an estimated $5.2 billion in bonds under
this $6.5 billion  aggregate  bonding  authority.  The  remainder of the plan is
projected  to be  financed  through  assistance  from  the  State,  the  federal
government,  and the City of New York, and from various other revenues generated
from actions taken by the MTA. The MTA is expected to submit a proposed  capital
plan for 2000 through 2004 by October 1, 1999.

      There can be no assurance that all the necessary  governmental actions for
future capital programs will be taken, that funding sources currently identified
will not be decreased  or  eliminated,  or that the 1995-99 and 2000-04  Capital
Programs,  or parts  thereof,  will not be delayed or  reduced.  Should  funding
levels fall below current projections,  the MTA would have to revise its 1995-99
and 2000-04  Capital  Programs  accordingly.  If the 1995-99 and 2000-04 Capital
Programs are delayed or reduced,  ridership and fare revenues may decline, which
could,  among  other  things,  impair the MTA's  ability  to meet its  operating
expenses without additional assistance.

THE CITY OF NEW YORK

      The fiscal  health of the State may also be affected by the fiscal  health
of New York City (the "City"),  which continues to receive significant financial
assistance  from the  State.  State aid  contributes  to the  City's  ability to
balance  its  budget  and meet  its cash  requirements.  The  State  may also be
affected by the ability of the City and certain  entities  issuing  debt for the
benefit of the City to market their securities successfully in the public credit
markets.



                                       29
<PAGE>

      The City has achieved  balanced  operating  results for each of its fiscal
years  since  1981 as  measured  by the GAAP  standards  in force at that  time.
However, in the early 1970s, the City incurred  substantial  operating deficits,
and its financial  controls,  accounting  practices and disclosure policies were
widely  criticized.  In response to the City's fiscal crisis in 1975,  the State
took action to assist the City in  returning  to fiscal  stability.  Among these
actions, the State established the Municipal Assistance Corporation for The City
of New York ("MAC") to provide  financing  assistance for the City; the New York
State  Financial  Control  Board (the  "Control  Board")  to oversee  the City's
financial  affairs;  and the Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City
of New York ("OSDC") to assist the Control  Board in  exercising  its powers and
responsibilities. A "control period" existed from 1975 to 1986, during which the
City was subject to certain statutorily  imposed conditions.  State law requires
the  Control  Board  to  reimpose  a  control  period  upon the  occurrence,  or
"substantial  likelihood and imminence' of the  occurrence,  of certain  events,
including (but not limited to) a City operating budget deficit of more than $100
million or impaired access to the public credit markets.

      The  City  provides  services  usually  undertaken  by  counties,   school
districts  or special  districts  in other  large  urban  areas,  including  the
provision of social services such as day care,  foster care, health care, family
planning,  services  for the elderly and special  employment  services for needy
individuals and families who qualify for such assistance. State law requires the
City to  allocate  a large  portion  of its total  budget to Board of  Education
operations,  and  mandates  that the  City  assume  the  local  share of  public
assistance and Medicaid costs. The City was required to close substantial budget
gaps in recent years in order to maintain balanced operating results.  There can
be no  assurance  that the City will  continue to maintain a balanced  budget as
required by State law  without  additional  tax or other  revenue  increases  or
additional  reductions in City  services or  entitlement  programs,  which could
adversely affect the City's economic base.

      Pursuant to the New York State Financial Emergency Act for The City of New
York (the "Financial Emergency Act" or the "Act"), the City prepares a four year
annual  financial  plan,  which is reviewed and revised on a quarterly basis and
which includes the City's capital,  revenue and expense projections and outlines
proposed gap closing  programs for years with projected  budget gaps. The City's
projections  set forth in the  1999-2003  Financial  Plan are  based on  various
assumptions and contingencies which are uncertain and which may not materialize.
Changes in major  assumptions could  significantly  effect the City's ability to
balance its budget and to meet its annual cash flow and financing  requirements.
Such assumptions and contingencies include the timing and pace of a regional and
local  economic  recovery,  increases in tax revenues,  employment  growth,  the
ability  to  implement  proposed  reductions  in City  personnel  and other cost
reduction  initiatives which may require in certain cases the cooperation of the
City's  municipal  unions,  the  ability of New York City  Health and  Hospitals
Corporation  and the  Board of  Education  to take  actions  to  offset  reduced
revenues, the ability to complete revenue generating transactions,  provision of
State and  federal aid and mandate  relief,  and the impact on City  revenues of
proposals for federal and State welfare  reform.  No assurance can be given that
the  assumptions  used  by the  City in the  1999-2003  Financial  Plan  will be
realized.  Due to the uncertainty  existing on the federal and state levels, the
ultimate adoption of the State budget for FY 1999-2000 may result in substantial
reductions  in  projected  expenditures  for  social  spending  programs.   Cost
containment  assumptions  contained in the 1999-2003 Financial Plan and the City
FY 1999-2000 Budget may therefore be significantly  adversely  affected upon the
final adoption of the State budget for FY 1999-2000.  Furthermore, actions taken
in recent fiscal years to avert deficits may have reduced the City's flexibility
in  responding  to  future  budgetary  imbalances,  and  have  deferred  certain
expenditures to later fiscal years.

      On January 29, 1999, the City released the Financial Plan for fiscal years
2000-2003.  It projects  total revenues in FY 1999 of $35.60  billion,  of which
federal  categorical  grants provide $4.2 billion and State  categorical  grants
provide $6.7 billion.  The City's Financial Plan projects that expenditures will
grow to $38.94 billion in FY 2003.  While the Financial  Plan projects  revenues
and  expenditures  for the 1999 fiscal year balanced in accordance with GAAP, it
projects  budget gaps of $738 million,  $1.91  billion,  $2.04 billion and $1.54
billion in the 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 fiscal years, respectively.

      Although  the City has  maintained  balanced  budgets  in each of its last
sixteen fiscal years and is projected to achieve balanced  operating results for
the 1998 fiscal  year,  there can be no assurance  that the gap closing  actions
proposed in the Financial Plan can be successfully  implemented or that the City


                                       30

will maintain a balanced  budget in future years without  additional  State aid,
revenue  increases or  expenditure  reductions.  Additional  tax  increases  and
reductions in essential City services could adversely affect the City's economic
base.

      On May 27, 1999, Governor George E. Pataki signed into law the legislation
eliminating  the New York City commuter tax, which is imposed on wages earned by
all New York State non-city  residents.  The legislation  signed by the Governor
repeals the commuter tax  beginning  July 1, 1999.  This tax cut is estimated to
cost the City approximately  $250-$360 million annually.  The elimination of the
commuter tax is currently in litigation.

      The 1999-2003 Financial Plan includes a proposed discretionary transfer in
the 1999 fiscal year of  approximately  $1.57 billion to pay debt service due in
fiscal year 2000, included in the Budget  Stabilization Plan for the 1999 fiscal
years.  In  addition,  the  Financial  Plan  reflects  actual and  proposed  tax
reduction  programs totaling $338 million,  $410 million,  $461 million and $473
million in fiscal years 2000 through 2003.

      The City derives its revenues from a variety of local taxes,  user charges
and miscellaneous  revenues,  as well as from Federal and State unrestricted and
categorical  grants.  State  aid as a  percentage  of the  City's  revenues  has
remained   relatively  constant  over  the  period  from  1980  to  1997,  while
unrestricted  Federal aid has been sharply reduced.  The City reports that local
revenues provided  approximately  58.3% of total revenues in FY 1997-98 of $34.9
billion, while federal and State aid, including unrestricted aid and categorical
grants, provided 33.5% in the same year.

      The City since 1981 has fully  satisfied its seasonal  financing  needs in
the public  credit  markets,  repaying all short term  obligations  within their
fiscal  year  of  issuance.  The  City  issued  $1.075  billion  of  short  term
obligations in fiscal year 1998 to finance the City's  projected cash flow needs
for that year. In previous years,  the City's short term  obligations  have been
$2.4  billion,  $2.4 billion,  $2.2  billion,  and $1.75 billion in fiscal years
1997,  1996,  1995 and  1994,  respectively.  The delay in the  adoption  of the
State's budget in certain past fiscal years has required the City to issue short
term notes in amounts exceeding those expected early in such fiscal years.

      The  City  makes  substantial  capital  expenditures  to  reconstruct  and
rehabilitate the City's infrastructure and physical assets,  including City mass
transit facilities,  sewers,  streets,  bridges and tunnels, and to make capital
investments that will improve productivity in City operations. The City utilizes
a three  tiered  capital  planning  process  consisting  of the Ten Year Capital
Strategy,  the Four Year Capital Plan and the current year Capital  Budget.  The
Ten Year  Capital  Strategy  is a long term  planning  tool  designed to reflect
fundamental  allocation  choices  and  basic  policy  objectives.  The Four Year
Capital Program translates  mid-range policy goals into specific  projects.  The
Capital Budget  defines  specific  projects and the timing of their  initiation,
design, construction and completion.

      The City is nearing the constitutionally-permissible  limit on its general
obligation  debt.  Under  the  State  constitution,  the City  may not  contract
indebtedness  in an amount  greater than 10 percent of the average full value of
taxable  real estate in the City for the most recent five years.  To provide for
the City's capital program,  State legislation was enacted in 1997 which created
the Transitional  Finance Authority ("TFA"), the debt of which is not subject to
the general debt limit. Without TFA or other legislative relief, new contractual
commitments  for the City's general  obligation  financed  capital program would
have been virtually brought to a halt during the Financial Plan period beginning
early  in the 1998  fiscal  year.  By  utilizing  projected  TFA  borrowing  and
including TFA's projected  borrowing as part of the total debt incurring  power,
the City's total debt incurring power has been increased.

       Even with the  increase,  the City may reach the limit of its capacity to
enter into new contractual  commitments in fiscal year 2000. As of July 1, 1998,
the City's outstanding general obligation debt totaled $27.1 billion., and as of
July 1, 1998, the City's net general obligation debt limit was $28.9 billion. As
of July 1, 1998, the remaining  City and TFA debt  incurring  power totaled $3.9
billion.  Despite this additional financing mechanism,  the City projected that,
if no further  action was taken,  it would  reach its debt limit in City  fiscal
year 1999-2000.  Issuance of tobacco  settlement bonds may accelerate  income of
$2.5  billion,   but  the  City   estimates   that  it  would  still  reach  its
Constitutional indebtedness limit in fiscal year 2002.



                                       31

      In June, 1997, the  constitutionality  of TFA was challenged in court, but
the challenge was dismissed at the trial level,  appellate level, and before the
New York Court of Appeals in 1998.  Future  developments  concerning the City or
entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, and public discussion of such
developments,  as well as prevailing  market  conditions and  securities  credit
ratings, may affect the ability or cost to sell securities issued by the City or
such entities and may also effect the market for their outstanding securities.

      In  addition  to general  obligation  debt,  the City has other  long-term
obligations,  including  capital leases and bond  transactions of public benefit
corporations  that are components of the City or whose debt is guaranteed by the
City.

      The City is the largest municipal debt issuer in the nation,  and has more
than  doubled  its debt  load  since  the end of FY 1988,  in large  measure  to
rehabilitate  its extensive,  aging physical  plant.  The City's  Financial Plan
projects $22.3 billion of long-term borrowings for the period of FY 1999 through
FY 2003 to support  the City's  current  capital  plan.  The City's  Preliminary
Ten-Year  Capital  Strategy  dated  January 1999 has  identified  $48 billion in
additional capital expenditures over the next ten years. Additionally,  a report
of the City  Comptroller  indicates the Preliminary  Ten-Year  Capital  Strategy
significantly   underestimates   the  actual  capital  needs  of  the  City  for
reconstructing and rehabilitating the City's infrastructure and physical assets.

OTHER LOCALITIES

      Certain  localities  outside  New York  City  have  experienced  financial
problems and have requested and received  additional State assistance during the
last several State fiscal years. The potential impact on the State of any future
requests by localities for additional  oversight or financial  assistance is not
included in the projections of the State's receipts and disbursements.

      The  State  has  provided  extraordinary  financial  assistance  to select
municipalities,  primarily  cities,  since the 1996-97 fiscal year.  Funding has
essentially  been continued or increased in each  subsequent  fiscal year.  Such
funding in 1998-99 totaled $108 million. In 1997-98, the State increased General
Purpose  State Aid for local  governments  by $27 million to $550  million,  and
continued funding at this new level in 1998-99.

      State law  requires  the  Comptroller  to review and make  recommendations
concerning the budgets of those local  government units other than New York City
authorized by State law to issue debt to finance deficits during the period that
such deficit  financing is  outstanding.  Twenty-two  localities had outstanding
indebtedness  for deficit  financing at the close of their fiscal year ending in
1997.

      Municipalities and school districts have engaged in substantial short term
and long term borrowings.  In 1997, the total  indebtedness of all localities in
the State other than New York City was approximately $21.0 billion.

      Like the State,  local  governments  must  respond to changing  political,
economic  and  financial  influences  over which they have little or no control.
Such changes may  adversely  affect the  financial  condition  of certain  local
governments.  For example,  the federal  government may reduce (or in some cases
eliminate)  federal  funding of some local programs  which, in turn, may require
local  governments to fund these  expenditures  from their own resources.  It is
also possible that the State, New York City, or any of their  respective  public
authorities  may suffer serious  financial  difficulties  that could  jeopardize
local  access to the  public  credit  markets,  which may  adversely  affect the
marketability  of notes  and  bonds  issued  by  localities  within  the  State.
Localities may also face  unanticipated  problems resulting from certain pending
litigation, judicial decisions and long-range economic trends. Other large-scale
potential   problems,   such  as   declining   urban   populations,   increasing
expenditures,  and the loss of skilled  manufacturing  jobs,  may also adversely
affect localities and necessitate State assistance.


INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

      FUNDAMENTAL  LIMITATIONS.  The following investment  limitations cannot be
changed with respect to a fund without the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1)
more  than 50% of the  outstanding  shares of the fund or (2) 67% or more of the


                                       32
<PAGE>


shares present at a  shareholders'  meeting if more than 50% of the  outstanding
shares are  represented  at the meeting in person or by proxy.  If a  percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment or  transaction,  a later
increase or decrease in percentage  resulting from changing  values of portfolio
securities  or amount of total assets will not be  considered a violation of any
of the following limitations.

      Each fund will not:

      (1) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more of
the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of issuers  having their
principal business activities in the same industry,  except that this limitation
does not apply to securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government,  its
agencies or  instrumentalities  or to municipal securities or to certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic branches of U.S. banks.

      The  following  interpretations  apply  to,  but are not a part  of,  this
fundamental  limitation:  With  respect to this  limitation,  (a)  domestic  and
foreign  banking  will  be  considered  to  be  different  industries:  and  (b)
asset-backed   securities  will  be  grouped  in  industries  based  upon  their
underlying assets and not treated as constituting a single, separate industry.

      (2) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under the
Investment  Company  Act and then not in excess of 33 1/3% of the  fund's  total
assets  (including the amount of the senior securities issued but reduced by any
liabilities not constituting  senior  securities) at the time of the issuance or
borrowing,  except that the fund may borrow up to an  additional 5% of its total
assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes.

      (3) make loans,  except  through loans of portfolio  securities or through
repurchase  agreements,  provided  that for  purposes of this  restriction,  the
acquisition  of bonds,  debentures,  other debt  securities  or  instruments  or
participations   or  other  interests  therein  and  investments  in  government
obligations,  commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or
similar instruments will not be considered the making of a loan.

      The  following  interpretation  applies  to,  but is not a part  of,  this
fundamental  restriction:  The fund's  investments  in master  notes and similar
instruments will not be considered to be the making of a loan.

      (4) engage in the business of  underwriting  securities of other  issuers,
except to the extent that the fund might be considered an underwriter  under the
federal  securities  laws  in  connection  with  its  disposition  of  portfolio
securities.

      (5) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities of
issuers  that  invest  in  real  estate  and   investments  in   mortgage-backed
securities,  mortgage participations or other instruments supported by interests
in real estate are not subject to this limitation,  and except that the fund may
exercise  rights under  agreements  relating to such  securities,  including the
right to enforce  security  interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason
of such  enforcement  until  that real  estate can be  liquidated  in an orderly
manner.

      (6) purchase or sell physical  commodities  unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the fund may purchase, sell or enter
into financial options and futures,  forward and spot currency  contracts,  swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments.

      Money Market  Portfolio,  U.S.  Government  Portfolio  and Tax-Free Fund
will not:

      (7) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of
the fund's total assets  would be invested in  securities  of that issuer or the
fund would own or hold more than 10% of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of
that  issuer,  except that up to 25% of the fund's  total assets may be invested
without  regard to this  limitation,  and except that this  limitation  does not
apply to securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government,  its agencies
and instrumentalities or to securities issued by other investment companies.



                                       33
<PAGE>

      With respect to Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio,  the
following  interpretation  applies  to,  but  is  not  a  part  of,  fundamental
limitation (7): Mortgage- and asset-backed  securities will not be considered to
have been issued by the same issuer by reason of the securities  having the same
sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed  securities issued by a finance or other
special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be
considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the parent company.

      With respect to Tax-Free  Fund, the following  interpretation  applies to,
but is not a part of,  fundamental  limitation  (7):  Each state,  territory and
possession of the United States  (including  the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico),  each  political  subdivision,   agency,  instrumentality  and  authority
thereof,  and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member is a separate
"issuer." When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority,  instrumentality
or other  political  subdivision  are separate from the government  creating the
subdivision  and the  security is backed only by the assets and  revenues of the
subdivision,  such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
in the case of an IDB or PAB,  if that bond is  backed  only by the  assets  and
revenues of the non-governmental  user, then that non-governmental user would be
deemed to be the sole issuer.  However,  if the creating  government  or another
entity  guarantees  a  security,  then  to the  extent  that  the  value  of all
securities  issued or guaranteed  by that  government or entity and owned by the
fund exceeds 10% of the fund's total assets, the guarantee would be considered a
separate security and would be treated as issued by that government or entity.

      California  Municipal Money Fund's investment policy of investing at least
80% of its net  assets  in  California  municipal  securities  and  the  similar
investment  policy of New York  Municipal  Money Fund relating to investments in
New  York  municipal  securities  may not be  changed  without  approval  of the
appropriate  fund's  shareholders.  New Jersey Municipal Money Fund's investment
policy of  investing  at least 65% of its total  assets in New Jersey  municipal
securities may not be changed without approval of its shareholders.

      NON-FUNDAMENTAL  LIMITATIONS.  The following investment restrictions are
not fundamental and may be changed by each board without shareholder approval.

      Each fund will not:

      (1) purchase securities on margin,  except for short-term credit necessary
for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that the fund may make margin
deposits in connection  with its use of financial  options and futures,  forward
and spot currency contracts,  swap transactions and other financial contracts or
derivative instruments.

      (2) engage in short  sales of  securities  or  maintain a short  position,
except that the fund may (a) sell short "against the box" and (b) maintain short
positions in connection with its use of financial  options and futures,  forward
and spot currency contracts,  swap transactions and other financial contracts or
derivative instruments.

      (3)  purchase  securities  of other  investment  companies,  except to the
extent  permitted by the Investment  Company Act and except that this limitation
does not apply to securities  received or acquired as dividends,  through offers
of exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.

      (4) purchase portfolio  securities while borrowings in excess of 5% of its
total assets are outstanding.

      (5)   invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

      PaineWebber  RMA Money Fund,  Inc. and PaineWebber RMA Tax-Free Fund, Inc.
(each a "Corporation") were organized on July 2, 1982 as Maryland  corporations.
Money  Fund has three  operating  series and has  authority  to issue 60 billion
shares of common  stock,  par value  $0.001  per share (30  billion  shares  are

billion shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  PaineWebber Managed
Municipal Trust and  PaineWebber  Municipal Money Market Series (each a "Trust")
were formed on November  21,  1986 and  September  14,  1990,  respectively,  as

"Contracts"),  PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any error
of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss  suffered by a fund in  connection
with the  performance  of the  Contracts,  except a loss  resulting from willful
misfeasance,  bad  faith  or gross  negligence  on the  part of  PaineWebber  or
Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of
its duties and obligations thereunder.

      The Contracts are terminable with respect to each fund at any time without
penalty by vote of the applicable  board or by vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding  voting securities of that fund on 60 days' written notice to

are also terminable without penalty by PaineWebber on 60 days' written notice to
the appropriate  Corporation or Trust, and the Mitchell  Hutchins  Contracts are

written notice to the other party. The Contracts  terminate  automatically  upon

automatically upon the assignment of the applicable PaineWebber Contract.

      Mitchell  Hutchins  personnel  may  invest  in  securities  for  their own
accounts  pursuant to a code of ethics that describes the fiduciary duty owed to
shareholders  of the  PaineWebber  funds and other Mitchell  Hutchins'  advisory
accounts  by  all  Mitchell   Hutchins'   directors,   officers  and  employees,
establishes   procedures   for  personal   investing   and   restricts   certain
transactions.  For example,  employee  accounts  generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber,  personal  trades  in most  securities  require  pre-clearance  and
short-term  trading and participation in initial public offerings  generally are
prohibited.  In addition,  the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal  investing  in relation to trades by the  PaineWebber  mutual funds and
other Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients.

      DISTRIBUTION  ARRANGEMENTS.  PaineWebber  acts as distributor of shares of
the funds under separate  distribution  contracts with each Corporation or Trust
("Distribution  Contracts")  which require  PaineWebber to use its best efforts,
consistent with its other business,  to sell shares of the funds.  Shares of the
funds are offered  continuously.  Payments by each fund (other than Money Market
Portfolio) to compensate PaineWebber for certain expenses incurred in connection
with its activities in providing  certain  shareholder  and account  maintenance
services are authorized under the Distribution  Contracts and made in accordance
with related plans of  distribution  ("Plans")  adopted by each  Corporation  or
Trust with respect to those funds in the manner  prescribed  by Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act. No such payments have been authorized for Money Market Portfolio.

      Under plans of distribution adopted in the manner prescribed by Rule 12b-1
under the  Investment  Company Act ("Plan"),  each fund (other than Money Market
Portfolio) pays  PaineWebber a service fee,  computed daily and payable monthly.
Under its Plan, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund pays service fees to PaineWebber
at the annual  rate of 0.12% of its average  daily net  assets.  Each other fund
currently  pays service fees to  PaineWebber at the annual rate of 0.125% of its
average daily net assets, although its Plan authorizes it to pay service fees to
PaineWebber  at an annual  rate of up to 0.15%.  Any  increase  from the  0.125%
annual rate would require prior approval of the applicable board.

      PaineWebber  uses the  12b-1  service  fees to pay  PaineWebber  Financial
Advisors and correspondent firms for shareholder servicing. The fee is also used
to offset PaineWebber's other expenses in servicing and maintaining  shareholder
accounts.  These expenses may include the costs of the PaineWebber branch office
in which the Financial Advisor is based, such as rent, communications equipment,
employee salaries and other overhead costs.

      Among other things, each Plan provides that (1) PaineWebber will submit to
the  board at least  quarterly,  and the  board  members  will  review,  reports
regarding  all amounts  expended  under the Plan and the purposes for which such
expenditures  were made, (2) the Plan will continue in effect only so long as it
is approved at least annually,  and any material  amendment thereto is approved,
by the board,  including those board members who are not "interested persons" of
the Corporation or Trust and who have no direct or indirect  financial  interest
in the  operation of the Plan or any  agreement  related to the Plan,  acting in
person at a meeting  called for that  purpose,  (3) payments by a Fund under the
Plan shall not be  materially  increased  without  the  affirmative  vote of the
holders of a majority of the affected  Fund's  outstanding  shares and (4) while
the Plan remains in effect,  the selection  and  nomination of board members who
are not  "interested  persons" of the Corporation or Trust shall be committed to
the  discretion  of the board  members who are not  "interested  persons" of the
Corporation or Trust.

      The funds paid (or accrued)  the  following  service  fees to  PaineWebber
under the Plans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999:

</TABLE>

      "Allocated  costs" include various internal costs allocated by PaineWebber
to  its  efforts  at  providing  certain  shareholder  and  account  maintenance
services.  These  internal  costs  encompass  office  rent,  salaries  and other
overhead expenses of various PaineWebber departments and areas of operations.

      In approving the continuance of the Plan for a fund, the applicable  board
considered all features of the distribution  system for the fund,  including (1)
PaineWebber's  view that the payment of service fees at the annual rate of 0.02%
of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the fund  held in  shareholder  accounts
serviced  by  PaineWebber   Financial  Advisors  and  correspondent   firms  was
attractive to such Financial  Advisors and correspondent  firms and would result
in greater  growth of the fund than might  otherwise be the case, (2) the extent
to which fund shareholders  might benefit from economies of scale resulting from
growth in the fund's assets and  shareholder  account size and the potential for
continued growth,  (3) the services provided to the fund and its shareholders by
PaineWebber pursuant to the applicable  Distribution Contract, (4) PaineWebber's
expenses and costs under the Plan as  described  above and (5) the fact that the
expense  of  the  Plan  to  funds  with   breakpoints   in  their  advisory  and
administration  fees could be offset if the Plan is  successful by the lower fee
rates that may be triggered as assets reach higher levels.

      With respect to each Plan,  the applicable  board  considered the benefits
that  would  accrue  to  PaineWebber  under the Plan in that  PaineWebber  would
receive service and advisory fees that are calculated based upon a percentage of
the  average  net assets of the fund,  which fees would  increase if the Plan is
successful and the fund attains and maintains increased asset levels.


                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

      The funds purchase  portfolio  securities from dealers and underwriters as
well as from issuers.  Securities are usually traded on a net basis with dealers
acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated  commission.  Prices
paid to dealers in principal transactions generally include a "spread," which is
the difference between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and
sell a specific  security at the time.  When  securities are purchased  directly
from an issuer,  no  commissions  or discounts  are paid.  When  securities  are
purchased in underwritten offerings, they include a fixed amount of compensation
to the  underwriter.  During its past three fiscal  years,  no fund has paid any
brokerage commissions;  therefore, none has allocated any brokerage transactions
for research, analysis, advice and similar services.

      For  purchases or sales with  broker-dealer  firms that act as  principal,
Mitchell  Hutchins seeks best execution.  Although Mitchell Hutchins may receive
certain research or execution services in connection with these transactions, it
will not purchase  securities  at a higher price or sell  securities  at a lower
price than would  otherwise be paid if no weight was  attributed to the services
provided  by the  executing  dealer.  Mitchell  Hutchins  may  engage  in agency
transactions in over-the-counter securities in return for research and execution
services.  These  transactions are entered into only pursuant to procedures that
are designed to ensure that the transaction (including  commissions) is at least
as favorable as it would have been if effected directly with a market-maker that
did not provide research or execution services.

<PAGE>

      Research  services and  information  received  from brokers or dealers are
supplemental to Mitchell Hutchins' own research efforts and, when utilized,  are
subject to internal  analysis  before  being  incorporated  into its  investment
processes.  Information  and research  services  furnished by brokers or dealers
through which or with which the funds effect securities transactions may be used
by  Mitchell  Hutchins in advising  other  funds or  accounts  and,  conversely,
research  services  furnished  to  Mitchell  Hutchins  by  brokers or dealers in
connection with other funds or accounts that its advises may be used in advising
the funds.

      Investment  decisions for a fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made  independently of each other in light of differing
considerations for the various accounts.  However,  the same investment decision
may  occasionally  be made for a fund and one or more accounts.  In those cases,
simultaneous  transactions are inevitable.  Purchases or sales are then averaged
as to price and  allocated  between  that fund and the  other  account(s)  as to
amount  according  to a  formula  deemed  equitable  to the fund  and the  other
account(s).  While in some cases this practice  could have a detrimental  effect
upon the price or value of the security as far as a fund is  concerned,  or upon
its ability to complete  its entire  order,  in other cases it is believed  that
simultaneous  transactions and the ability to participate in volume transactions
will benefit the fund.

</TABLE>



                 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTIONS

      Each  fund may  suspend  redemption  privileges  or  postpone  the date of
payment  during any period  (1) when the New York  Stock  Exchange  is closed or
trading on the New York Stock  Exchange is  restricted as determined by the SEC,
(2)  when an  emergency  exists,  as  defined  by the  SEC,  that  makes  it not
reasonably  practicable  for a fund to dispose of  securities  owned by it or to
determine  fairly the market value of its assets or (3) as the SEC may otherwise
permit.  The redemption price may be more or less than the  shareholder's  cost,
depending on the market value of the fund's portfolio at the time, although each
fund attempts to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.

      If  conditions  exist  that make  cash  payments  undesirable,  California
Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each reserve the right to
honor  any  request  for  redemption  by making  payment  in whole or in part in
securities chosen by the fund and valued in the same way as they would be valued
for  purposes of  computing  the fund's net asset  value.  If payment is made in
securities,  a shareholder  may incur  brokerage  expenses in  converting  these
securities  into cash.  Managed  Municipal  Trust has  elected,  however,  to be
governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, under which it is obligated to redeem
shares  solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value
of a fund  during  any 90-day  period  for one  shareholder.  This  election  is
irrevocable unless the SEC permits its withdrawal.


                                       48
<PAGE>

      Under normal circumstances, a fund will redeem shares when so requested by
a shareholder's broker-dealer other than PaineWebber by telegram or telephone to
PaineWebber.  Such a  redemption  order will be  executed at the net asset value
next determined after the order is received by PaineWebber.  Redemptions of fund
shares effected through a broker-dealer other than PaineWebber may be subject to
a service charge by that broker-dealer.


                               VALUATION OF SHARES

      Each fund uses its best  efforts to maintain  its net asset value at $1.00
per share.  Each fund's net asset value per share is  determined by State Street
Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as of 12:00 noon,  Eastern time, on each
Business  Day.  As defined in the  Prospectus,  "Business  Day" means any day on
which State Street's Boston offices and the New York City offices of PaineWebber
and PaineWebber's bank, The Bank of New York, are all open for business.  One or
more of these  institutions  will be closed on the  observance  of the following
holidays:  New Year's Day,  Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day, Good
Friday,  Patriot's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day,
Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

      Each fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized
cost  method of  valuation  under  Rule 2a-7  ("Rule")  under  1940 Act.  To use
amortized cost to value its portfolio securities,  a fund must adhere to certain
conditions under the Rule relating to the fund's investments,  some of which are
discussed in the Prospectus and this SAI.  Amortized cost is an approximation of
market  value,  whereby the  difference  between  acquisition  cost and value at
maturity  of the  instrument  is  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis over the
remaining life of the instrument. The effect of changes in the market value of a
security as a result of  fluctuating  interest  rates is not taken into account,
and thus the  amortized  cost method of  valuation  may result in the value of a
security  being higher or lower than its actual market value.  If a large number
of redemptions  take place at a time when interest rates have increased,  a fund
might have to sell  portfolio  securities  prior to maturity and at a price that
might not be desirable.

      Each board has  established  procedures  for the purpose of  maintaining a
constant  net asset  value of $1.00  per  share,  which  include a review of the
extent of any deviation of net asset value per share,  based on available market
quotations,  from the $1.00 amortized cost per share. If that deviation  exceeds
1/2 of 1% for any fund,  its board will  promptly  consider  whether  any action
should be initiated to  eliminate  or reduce  material  dilution or other unfair
results to  shareholders.  Such  action may  include  redeeming  shares in kind,
selling  portfolio  securities  prior  to  maturity,   reducing  or  withholding
dividends  and  utilizing  a net asset  value per share as  determined  by using
available market quotations.  Each fund will maintain a dollar-weighted  average
portfolio  maturity of 90 days or less and except as otherwise  indicated herein
will not purchase any instrument having, or deemed to have, a remaining maturity
of more than 397 days, will limit portfolio  investments,  including  repurchase
agreements,  to  those  U.S.  dollar-denominated  instruments  that  are of high
quality  and  that  Mitchell  Hutchins,   acting  pursuant  to  the  procedures,
determines  present minimal credit risks and will comply with certain  reporting
and  recordkeeping  procedures.  There is no assurance  that  constant net asset
value per share will be  maintained.  If amortized cost ceases to represent fair
value, the relevant board will take appropriate action.

      In determining the approximate market value of portfolio investments, each
fund may employ outside organizations,  which may use a matrix or formula method
that takes into consideration market indices,  matrices,  yield curves and other
specific adjustments.  This may result in the securities being valued at a price
different  from the price  that  would  have been  determined  had the matrix or
formula method not been used. Other assets,  if any, are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the applicable board.


                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

      The funds'  performance  data quoted in advertising and other  promotional
materials ("Performance  Advertisements") represent past performance and are not
intended to indicate future performance. The investment return will fluctuate.

      TOTAL  RETURN   CALCULATIONS.   Average   annual   total   return   quotes
("Standardized  Return")  used in each  fund's  Performance  Advertisements  are
calculated according to the following formula:

                                       49
<PAGE>
               n
       P(1 + T)   =  ERV
     where:  P    =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 to purchase shares
             T    =  average annual total return of shares
             n    =  number of years
           ERV    = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment at
                    the beginning of that period.

      Under  the  foregoing  formula,  the  time  periods  used  in  Performance
Advertisements  will be based on rolling calendar quarters,  updated to the last
day of the most recent  quarter  prior to submission  of the  advertisement  for
publication.  Total return,  or "T" in the formula above, is computed by finding
the average annual change in the value of an initial $1,000  investment over the
period. All dividends are assumed to have been reinvested at net asset value.

      The funds may also advertise other  performance data, which may consist of
the annual or  cumulative  return  (including  short-term  capital gain, if any)
earned on a hypothetical investment in the fund since it began operations or for
shorter  periods.  This  return  data  may or may  not  assume  reinvestment  of
dividends (compounding).

      The following  tables show  performance  information for the funds' shares
outstanding for the periods indicated.  All returns for periods of more than one
year are expressed as an average annual return.

</TABLE>

      YIELD.  Each fund computes its yield and effective yield  quotations using
standardized methods required by the SEC. Each fund from time to time advertises
(1) its current yield based on a recently ended  seven-day  period,  computed by
determining  the net change,  exclusive  of capital  changes,  in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from that
shareholder account,  dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning  of the  base  period  to  obtain  the  base  period  return  and then
multiplying  the base period return by (365/7),  with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent;  and (2) its effective
yield based on the same seven-day  period by compounding  the base period return
by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to (365/7), and subtracting 1 from
the result, according to the following formula:

                                                       365/7
            EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1)     ] - 1

      Each municipal fund from time to time also  advertises its  tax-equivalent
yield  and  tax-equivalent  effective  yield,  also  based on a  recently  ended
seven-day  period.  These  quotations are calculated by dividing that portion of
the fund's yield (or effective  yield, as the case may be) that is tax-exempt by
1 minus a stated income tax rate and adding the product to that portion, if any,
of the fund's yield that is not tax-exempt, according to the following formula:



                                       50
<PAGE>
                             [  E   ]
      TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD = [------] + t
                             [ 1-p  ]

      E   =   tax-exempt yield of a class of shares

      p   =   stated income tax rate

      t   =   taxable yield of a Class of shares

      Yield may  fluctuate  daily and does not  provide a basis for  determining
future yields. Because the yield of each fund fluctuates,  it cannot be compared
with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that provide an
agreed to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. However,  yield
information may be useful to an investor  considering  temporary  investments in
money market  instruments.  In  comparing  the yield of one money market fund to
another,  consideration  should  be given to each  fund's  investment  policies,
including the types of investments  made, the average  maturity of the portfolio
securities and whether there are any special account charges that may reduce the
yield.

      The following yields are for the seven-day period ended June 30, 1999:

in such materials to mutual fund  performance  rankings and other data,  such as
comparative asset,  expense and fee levels,  published by Lipper, CDA, Donoghue,

discussions of the Funds and comparative  mutual fund data and ratings  reported
in independent  periodicals,  including THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine,
FORBES,  BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S,  FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES,
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST and THE KIPLINGER LETTERS.

      Each fund may  include  discussions  or  illustrations  of the  effects of
compounding  in  Performance  Advertisements.  "Compounding"  refers to the fact
that,  if  dividends  on a fund  investment  are  reinvested  by  being  paid in
additional fund shares,  any future income of the fund would increase the value,
not only of the original fund investment, but also of the additional fund shares
received through reinvestment. As a result, the value of a fund investment would
increase more quickly than if dividends had been paid in cash.

      Each fund may also compare its performance  with the  performances of bank
certificates  of deposit  ("CDs") as measured by the CDA  Certificate of Deposit
Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the averages of yields of CDs
of major banks published by Banxquotes(R).  Money Markets. In comparing a fund's
performance to CD performance,  investors  should keep in mind that bank CDs are
insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S.  government and offer fixed
principal  and fixed or variable  rates of interest  and that bank CD yields may
vary  depending on the  financial  institution  offering  the CD and  prevailing
interest rates.  Advertisements and other promotional materials for the funds or
for the PaineWebber Resource Management Account(R) ("RMA") and Business Services
Accountsm  ("BSA")  programs may compare features of the RMA and BSA programs to
those offered by bank checking  accounts and other bank accounts.  Bank accounts
are  insured  in whole or in part by an  agency of the U.S.  government  and may
offer a fixed rate of return.  Fund shares are not insured or  guaranteed by the
U.S.  government,  and returns thereon will fluctuate.  While each fund seeks to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share,  there can be no assurance
that it will be able to do so.

Revenue Code,  each fund must  distribute to its  shareholders  for each taxable
year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally
of taxable net investment income and net short-term  capital gain, if any) plus,
in the case of each municipal  fund,  its net interest  income  excludable  from
gross income under section  103(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code,  and must meet
several additional  requirements.  With respect to each fund, these requirements
include the following: (1) the fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income
each taxable year from dividends,  interest, payments with respect to securities
loans,  gains from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
income;  (2) at the close of each quarter of the fund's  taxable  year, at least
50% of the value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items,
U.S.  government  securities and other  securities,  with these other securities
limited,  in respect of any one issuer,  to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of the fund's  total  assets;  and (3) at the close of each quarter of
the fund's  taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may
be invested in securities  (other than U.S.  government  securities)  of any one
issuer. If a fund failed to qualify for treatment as a RIC for any taxable year,
(a) it would  be taxed as an  ordinary  corporation  on the full  amount  of its
taxable income for that year without being able to deduct the  distributions  it
makes  to its  shareholders  and (b) the  shareholders  would  treat  all  those
distributions,  including distributions that otherwise would be "exempt-interest
dividends" described in the following paragraph, as dividends (that is, ordinary
income) to the extent of the fund's earnings and profits. In addition,  the fund
could be required to  recognize  unrealized  gains,  pay  substantial  taxes and
interest  and  make  substantial   distributions  before  requalifying  for  RIC
treatment.

      Dividends  paid by a  municipal  fund  will  qualify  as  "exempt-interest
dividends," and thus will be excludable  from gross income by its  shareholders,
if it satisfies the additional requirement that, at the close of each quarter of


                                       52
<PAGE>

its  taxable  year,  at least 50% of the value of its total  assets  consists of
securities  the interest on which is excludable  from gross income under section
103(a). Each municipal fund intends to continue to satisfy this requirement. The
aggregate  amount  annually  designated by a municipal  fund as  exempt-interest
dividends  may not exceed its  interest  for the year that is  excludable  under
section 103(a) over certain amounts disallowed as deductions.  The shareholders'
treatment of dividends from the municipal funds under state and local income tax
laws may differ from the treatment thereof under the Internal Revenue Code.

      Tax-exempt interest  attributable to certain PABs (including,  in the case
of a municipal fund receiving  interest on those bonds, a proportionate  part of
the  exempt-interest  dividends  paid by that fund) is an item of tax preference
for purposes of the federal  alternative  minimum tax  ("AMT").  Exempt-interest
dividends received by a corporate  shareholder also may be indirectly subject to
the AMT without  regard to whether a municipal  fund's  tax-exempt  interest was
attributable  to  those  bonds.  PABs  are  issued  by or on  behalf  of  public
authorities to finance various privately  operated  facilities and are described
in the Prospectus.

      Entities or persons  who are  "substantial  users" (or persons  related to
"substantial users") of facilities financed by IDBs or PABs should consult their
tax advisers before purchasing shares of a municipal fund because,  for users of
certain of these  facilities,  the  interest  on those  bonds is not exempt from
federal income tax. For these purposes,  the term "substantial  user" is defined
generally  to  include a  "non-exempt  person"  who  regularly  uses in trade or
business a part of a facility financed from the proceeds of IDBs or PABs.

      Up to 85% of social  security  and  railroad  retirement  benefits  may be
included in taxable income for recipients whose adjusted gross income (including
income  from  tax-exempt  sources  such as a  municipal  fund) plus 50% of their
benefits  exceeds  certain  base  amounts.  Exempt-interest  dividends  from the
municipal  funds still are tax-exempt to the extent  described  above and in the
Prospectus;  they are only included in the  calculation of whether a recipient's
income exceeds the established amounts.

      If a municipal  fund  invests in any  instruments  that  generate  taxable
income,  under  the  circumstances  described  in  the  Prospectus  and  in  the
discussion of municipal  market  discount  bonds below,  the portion of any fund
dividend  attributable  to the  interest  earned  thereon will be taxable to its
shareholders  as ordinary  income to the extent of its  earnings and profits and
only the  remaining  portion will qualify as an  exempt-interest  dividend.  The
respective  portions  will be determined by the "actual  earned"  method,  under
which the portion of any dividend that qualifies as an exempt-interest  dividend
may vary,  depending  on the  relative  proportions  of  tax-exempt  and taxable
interest  earned  during the  dividend  period.  Moreover,  if a municipal  fund
realizes  capital gain as a result of market  transactions,  any distribution of
that gain will be taxable to its shareholders.

      Each  municipal  fund may invest in  municipal  bonds that are  purchased,
generally not on their original issue, with market discount (that is, at a price
less  than the  principal  amount of the bond or, in the case of a bond that was
issued with original issue  discount,  a price less than the amount of the issue
price plus accrued original issue discount) ("municipal market discount bonds").
If a bond's  market  discount  is less  than  the  product  of (1)  0.25% of the
redemption  price at maturity times (2) the number of complete years to maturity
after the taxpayer  acquired the bond,  then no market discount is considered to
exist. Gain on the disposition of a municipal market discount bond (other than a
bond with a fixed maturity date within one year from its issuance)  generally is
treated as ordinary (taxable) income, rather than capital gain, to the extent of
the bond's accrued market discount at the time of  disposition.  Market discount
on such a bond generally is accrued ratably,  on a daily basis,  over the period
from the  acquisition  date to the date of  maturity.  In lieu of  treating  the
disposition gain as above, a municipal fund may elect to include market discount
in  its  gross  income  currently,   for  each  taxable  year  to  which  it  is
attributable.

      Dividends  from  investment  company  taxable income paid to a shareholder
who, as to the United States,  is a nonresident  alien  individual,  nonresident
alien fiduciary of a trust or estate, foreign corporation or foreign partnership
("foreign  shareholder")  generally are subject to a 30% withholding tax, unless
the applicable tax rate is reduced by a treaty between the United States and the
shareholder's  country of  residence.  Withholding  does not apply to a dividend
paid  to  a  foreign  shareholder  that  is  "effectively   connected  with  the
[shareholder's]  conduct of a trade or  business  within the United  States," in
which case the withholding  requirements applicable to domestic taxpayers apply.
Exempt-interest  dividends  paid  by the  municipal  funds  are not  subject  to
withholding.



                                       53

      Each fund will be subject to a  nondeductible  4% excise tax to the extent
it fails to  distribute by the end of any calendar  year  substantially  all its
ordinary  (I.E.,  taxable)  income for that year and any capital gain net income
for the one-year  period  ending  October 31 of that year,  plus  certain  other
amounts.

      CALIFORNIA  TAXES.  In any year in which  California  Municipal Money Fund
qualifies as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code and 50% or more of its assets
at the close of each quarter of its taxable year are invested in obligations the
interest  on which is  exempt  from  personal  income  taxation  by the State of
California,   the  fund  will  be  qualified   under   California   law  to  pay
"exempt-interest"  dividends  which will be exempt from the California  personal
income tax.

      Individual  shareholders of California  Municipal Money Fund who reside in
California   will  not  be  subject  to  California   personal   income  tax  on
distributions  received  from  the Fund to the  extent  such  distributions  are
attributable  to  interest  on  tax-exempt  obligations  issued  by the State of
California or a California  local  government (or interest  earned on tax-exempt
obligations  of  U.S.  possessions  or  territories),  provided  that  the  fund
satisfies the  requirement  of California law that at least 50% of its assets at
the close of each  quarter of its taxable  year be invested in  obligations  the
interest  on which is  exempt  from  personal  income  taxation  by the State of
California.  Income distributions from the fund that are attributable to sources
other than those  described in the preceding  sentence will generally be taxable
to such shareholders as ordinary income.  However,  distributions from the fund,
if any, that are derived from interest on obligations of the U.S. government may
also be  designated by the fund and treated by its  shareholders  as exempt from
California  personal income tax,  provided that the foregoing 50% requirement is
satisfied.   In  addition,   distributions  to  such  shareholders   other  than
exempt-interest dividends will be includable in income subject to the California
alternative minimum tax.

      Shareholders  of  California  Municipal  Money Fund who are subject to the
California corporate franchise tax will be required to include  distributions of
investment income and capital gains in their taxable income for purposes of that
tax. In addition,  such distributions may be includable in income subject to the
alternative minimum tax.

      Shares of  California  Municipal  Money  Fund will not be  subject  to the
California property tax.

      The  foregoing  is a  general,  abbreviated  summary  of  certain  of  the
provisions  of the tax laws of the State of  California  presently  in effect as
they directly govern the taxation of shareholders of California  Municipal Money
Fund.  These  provisions are subject to change by legislative or  administrative
action,   and  any  such  change  may  be  retroactive   with  respect  to  fund
transactions.  Shareholders  are advised to consult  with their own tax advisers
for more detailed information concerning California tax matters.

     NEW  JERSEY  TAXES.  New Jersey  Municipal  Money  Fund  anticipates  that
substantially  all  dividends  paid by it will not be  subject to the New Jersey
gross  income  tax.  In  accordance  with the  provisions  of New  Jersey law as
currently in effect,  distributions  paid by a "qualified  investment fund" will
not  be  subject  to  the  New  Jersey  gross  income  tax  to  the  extent  the
distributions  are  attributable to income received as interest or gain from New
Jersey  Municipal  Securities or direct U.S.  government  obligations or certain
other specified obligations. To be classified as a qualified investment fund, at
least  80%  of  the  fund's   investments  must  consist  of  such  obligations.
Distributions by a qualified investment fund that are attributable to most other
sources  will be  subject  to the New  Jersey  gross  income  tax.  If the  fund
continues to qualify as a qualified  investment fund, any gain on the redemption
of its shares  will not be subject to the New Jersey  gross  income  tax. To the
extent  a  shareholder  of the fund is  obligated  to pay  state or local  taxes
outside  of New  Jersey,  dividends  earned by such  shareholder  may  represent
taxable income.

      The shares of New Jersey  Municipal Money Fund are not subject to property
taxation by New Jersey or its political subdivisions.

      The  foregoing  is a  general,  abbreviated  summary  of  certain  of  the
applicable  provisions  of  New  Jersey  tax  law  presently  in  effect.  These
provisions  are subject to change by  legislative,  judicial  or  administrative
action and any such change may be either prospective or retroactive with respect
to Fund  transactions.  Shareholders  are urged to  consult  with  their own tax
advisers for more detailed information concerning New Jersey State tax matters.

      NEW YORK TAXES.  Individual  shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund
will not be  required  to include in their  gross  income for New York State and
City  purposes any portion of  distributions  received  from New York  Municipal
Money  Fund to the  extent  such  distributions  are  directly  attributable  to
interest  earned  on  tax-exempt  obligations  issued  by New York  State or any
political  subdivisions  thereof (including New York City) or interest earned on
obligations of U.S.  possessions  or territories to the extent  interest on such
obligations is exempt from state taxation pursuant to federal law, provided that
New York Municipal Money Fund qualifies as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code
and  satisfies  certain  requirements,  among  others,  that at least 50% of its
assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year  constitute  obligations
which are  tax-exempt for federal  income tax purposes.  Distributions  from New
York  Municipal  Money Fund which are  attributable  to sources other than those
described in the preceding sentence  (including interest on obligations of other
states  and their  political  subdivisions)  will  generally  be taxable to such
individual shareholders as ordinary income.

      Shareholders  of New York Municipal Money Fund that are subject to the New
York State corporate  franchise tax or the New York City general corporation tax
will be required to include exempt-interest dividends paid by New York Municipal
Money Fund in their  "entire net income" for  purposes of such taxes and will be
required  to  include  their  shares of New York  Municipal  Money Fund in their
investment capital for purposes of such taxes.

      Shareholders  of New York Municipal  Money Fund will not be subject to the
unincorporated  business  taxation  imposed by New York City solely by reason of
their  ownership of shares in New York Municipal Money Fund. If a shareholder is
subject to the unincorporated  business tax, income and gains distributed by New
York Municipal Money Fund will be subject to such tax except, in general, to the
extent such  distributions  are  directly  attributable  to  interest  earned on
tax-exempt  obligations  issued by New York State or any  political  subdivision
thereof (including New York City).

      Shares of New York  Municipal  Money Fund will not be subject to  property
taxes imposed by New York State or City.

      Interest on  indebtedness  incurred by  shareholders  to purchase or carry
shares of New York  Municipal  Money Fund (and certain other  expenses  relating
thereto)  generally  will not be deductible  for New York State or City personal
income tax purposes.

      Interest  income of New York Municipal  Money Fund which is distributed to
shareholders  will generally not be taxable to New York Municipal Money Fund for
purposes  of  the  New  York  State  corporate  franchise  tax or  City  general
corporation tax.

      New York  Municipal  Money  Fund is  subject  to the  corporate  franchise
(income) tax measured by the entire net income base, the minimum  taxable income
base or the fixed dollar minimum,  whichever is greater.  "Entire net income" of
New York Municipal  Money Fund is federal  "investment  company  taxable income"
with certain modifications. In addition, New York Municipal Money Fund generally
is permitted to deduct  dividends paid to its  shareholders  in determining  its
federal taxable income.

      The foregoing is a general summary of certain  provisions of federal,  New
York State and City tax laws  currently  in effect as they  directly  govern the
taxation  of  shareholders  of New York  Municipal  Money Fund.  Further,  these
provisions are subject to change by legislative or  administrative  action,  and
any such change may be  retroactive  with  respect to New York  Municipal  Money
Fund's  transactions.  Shareholders  are  advised to consult  with their own tax
advisers for more detailed information concerning tax matters.

*     The  yields  listed  are for  illustration  only  and are not  necessarily
      representative  of  the  fund's  yield.  The  fund  invests  primarily  in
      obligations  the interest on which is exempt from  federal  income tax and
      New Jersey gross income tax; however,  some of the fund's  investments may
      generate taxable income.  Effective tax rates shown are those in effect on
      the date of this SAI;  such rates might  change  after that date.  Certain
      simplifying assumptions have been made. Any particular taxpayer's rate may
      differ.  The effective  rates reflect the highest tax bracket  within each
      range of income listed.  However,  a New Jersey taxpayer within the lowest
      income  ranges shown may fall within a lower  effective  tax bracket.  The
      figures set forth above do not  reflect  the federal  alternative  minimum
      tax,  limitations  on federal or state  itemized  deductions  and personal
      exemptions  or any  state or local  taxes  payable  on fund  distributions
      (other than New Jersey personal income taxes).

      TAX-FREE INCOME VS. TAXABLE  INCOME--NEW  YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUNd. Table
IV below illustrates  approximate  equivalent taxable and tax-free yields at the
federal  individual,  and New York State and New York City personal,  income tax
rates in effect on the date of this SAI.  For  example,  a New York City  couple
with  taxable  income of $90,000 in 1999,  or a single  individual  with taxable
income of $55,000 in 1999 who lives in New York City,  whose  investments earn a
3% tax-free yield,  would have to earn a 4.66% taxable yield to receive the same
benefit.  A couple  who lives in New York  State  outside  of New York City with
taxable income of $90,000 in 1999, or a single  individual who lives in New York
State  outside of New York City with  taxable  income of $55,000 in 1999,  would
have to earn a 4.47%  taxable  yield to realize a benefit equal to a 3% tax-free
yield.

                                OTHER INFORMATION

      MASSACHUSETTS  BUSINESS  TRUSTS.  Each  Trust  is an  entity  of the  type
commonly known as a  "Massachusetts  business trust." Under  Massachusetts  law,
shareholders could, under certain  circumstances,  be held personally liable for
the  obligations  of a Trust.  However,  each  Declaration  of  Trust  disclaims
shareholder  liability  for acts or  obligations  of the Trust and requires that
notice of such  disclaimer be given in each note,  bond,  contract,  instrument,
certificate or undertaking  made or issued by the trustees or by any officers or
officer by or on behalf of that Trust,  a Fund,  the  trustees or any of them in


                                       59
<PAGE>


connection   with  the  Trust.   Each   Declaration   of  Trust   provides   for
indemnification  from a fund's  property  for all  losses  and  expenses  of any
shareholder  held personally  liable for the obligations of the fund.  Thus, the
risk of a  shareholder's  incurring  financial  loss on account  of  shareholder
liability is limited to  circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to
meet its obligations, a possibility which PaineWebber believes is remote and not
material.  Upon  payment  of  any  liability  incurred  by  a  shareholder,  the
shareholder  paying such  liability will be entitled to  reimbursement  from the
general  assets of the fund.  The trustees  intend to conduct the  operations of
each fund in such a way as to avoid, as far as possible,  ultimate  liability of
the shareholders for liabilities of the fund.

      VOTING RIGHTS. Shareholders of each fund are entitled to one vote for each
full share held and fractional votes for fractional  shares held.  Voting rights
are not  cumulative  and,  as a result,  the holders of more than 50% of all the
shares of a Corporation or a Trust may elect all its board  members.  The shares
of each series of  PaineWebber  RMA Money Fund,  Inc.  and  PaineWebber  Managed
Municipal Trust will be voted  separately,  except when an aggregate vote of all
the series is required by law.

      The Corporations  and Trusts do not hold annual  meetings.  There normally
will be no meetings of  shareholders  to elect board members unless fewer than a
majority of the board members holding office have been elected by  shareholders.
Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of a
Trust may remove a board member  through a declaration in writing or by proxy at
a meeting  called  for that  purpose.  A  meeting  will be called to vote on the
removal of a board member at the written  request of  shareholders  of record of
not less  than 10% of the  outstanding  shares of a Trust or at least 25% of the
outstanding shares of a Corporation.

      CUSTODIAN AND  RECORDKEEPING  AGENT;  TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND  AGENT.  State
Street Bank and Trust  Company,  located at One Heritage  Drive,  North  Quincy,
Massachusetts  02171, serves as custodian and recordkeeping agent for each fund.
PFPC Inc.,  a subsidiary  of PNC Bank,  N.A.,  located at 400 Bellevue  Parkway,
Wilmington,  DE 19809,  serves as each fund's  transfer and dividend  disbursing
agent.

      PRIOR NAMES. Prior to February 28, 1996, Municipal Money Market Series was
known as PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series and, prior to
January 30, 1995, was known as Kidder,  Peabody  Municipal  Money Market Series.
Prior to December 15,  1995,  New Jersey  Municipal  Money Fund was known as New
Jersey Series.

      COMBINED  PROSPECTUS.  Although each fund is offering only its own shares,
it is  possible  that a fund  might  become  liable  for a  misstatement  in the
Prospectus about another fund. The board of each fund has considered this factor
in approving the use of a single, combined Prospectus.

      COUNSEL.  The law firm of  Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, 1800  Massachusetts
Avenue,  N.W.,  Washington,   D.C.  20036,  serves  as  counsel  to  the  Funds.
Kirkpatrick  & Lockhart  LLP also acts as counsel to  PaineWebber  and  Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with other matters. The law firm of Orrick,  Herrington &
Sutcliffe LLP, 400 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, serves as counsel to
California  Municipal Money Fund with respect to California law. The law firm of
Orrick,  Herrington  &  Sutcliffe  LLP,  666 Fifth  Avenue,  New York,  New York
10103-0001,  serves as counsel to New York Municipal  Money Fund with respect to
New York law and New Jersey Municipal Money Fund with respect to New Jersey law.

      AUDITORS.  Ernst & Young LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York
10019, serves as independent auditors for the funds.


                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The funds' Annual Report to Shareholders  for their last fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999 is a separate  document  supplied with this SAI, and the financial
statements,  accompanying  notes and report of  independent  auditors  appearing
therein are incorporated by reference in this SAI.

                                   APPENDIX A

       SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE RMA PROGRAM TO RMA ACCOUNTHOLDERS

      Shares of the Funds are available to investors who are Participants in the
Resource  Management  Account(REGISTERED)  (RMA(REGISTERED))  program offered by
PaineWebber and its  correspondent  firms. The following is a summary of some of
the  services  available to RMA  Participants.  For more  complete  information,
investors should refer to separate materials their Financial Advisor can provide
them.

      THE PAINEWEBBER RMA PREMIER STATEMENT.  RMA Participants receive a monthly
Premier account  statement,  which provides  consolidated  information to assist
with portfolio management decisions and personal financial planning. The Premier
account  statement  summarizes  securities  transactions,  card transactions and
checks (if applicable) and provides cost basis  information and  calculations of
unrealized  and  realized  gains and losses on most  investments.  A "Summary of
Accounts"  statement and a menu of customized  statement options is available to
make the monthly reporting even more comprehensive.

      PRELIMINARY AND YEAR-END SUMMARIES.  RMA Participants  receive preliminary
and year-end summary account information statements that provide a comprehensive
overview  of  tax-related  activity  in the  account  during  the  year  to help
investors with tax planning.

      CHOICE OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS AND AUTOMATIC  SWEEP OF  UNINVESTED  CASH. As
described  more fully in the  Prospectus  under the heading  "Managing Your Fund
Account -- Buying  Shares,"  RMA  Participants  select a money  market fund as a
primary  fund from a variety  of taxable  and  tax-free  money  funds into which
uninvested  cash is  automatically  swept  on a daily  basis.  By  automatically
investing cash balances into a money market fund,  this sweep feature  minimizes
the extent to which an  investor's  assets remain idle while held in the account
pending investment.

      CHECK WRITING.  RMA  Participants  have ready access to the assets held in
their RMA through the check writing feature.  There are no minimum check amounts
or per check  charges.  The RMA checks  include an expense  coding  system  that
enables the investor to track types of expenses for tax and financial planning.

      DIRECT  DEPOSIT.  Regular  payroll,  pension,  social  security or other
payments  may be  eligible  for  electronic  deposit  into  RMA  Participants'
accounts.

      ELECTRONIC  FUNDS  TRANSFER/BILL  PAYMENT  SERVICE.  RMA  Participants can
electronically   transfer   money   between   their  RMA  and  other   financial
institutions,  transfer  funds to and from other  PaineWebber  accounts  and pay
bills. A Bill Payment Service is available for an additional charge.

      GOLD MASTERCARD(REGISTERED). RMA Participants receive a complimentary Gold
MasterCard  debit card that makes  account  assets easily  accessible.  The Gold
MasterCard is accepted by merchants both in the U.S. and abroad, and can be used
to obtain cash  advances at  thousands  of automated  teller  machines.  Through
MasterCard's enhanced  MasterAssist(REGISTERED)  and  MasterPurchase(REGISTERED)
programs,  investors can obtain other benefits,  including rental car insurance,
emergency medical and travel assistance, legal services and purchase protection.

      EXTENDED ACCOUNT  PROTECTION.  The net equity securities balance in an RMA
Account is protected  through private  insurance in the event of the liquidation
of  PaineWebber.  This  protection  is in addition to the $500,000 in protection
provided to accountholders  by the Securities  Investor  Protection  Corporation
("SIPC").  Neither the SIPC  protection  nor the additional  account  protection
insurance  applies  to  shares  of funds  that are  registered  with the  funds'
transfer  agent in the name of the  shareholder,  rather  than being held in the
shareholder's  RMA account and  registered in the name of  PaineWebber or one of
its correspondent firms.

      RESOURCE ACCUMULATION PLAN(SERVICEMARK). The Resource Accumulation Plan is
an automatic  mutual fund  investment  program that  provides  participants  the
ability to purchase shares of select mutual funds on a regular,  periodic basis.
The minimum  purchase in the program is $100 per  investment;  however,  initial


                                       61
<PAGE>

minimum  purchase  requirements  of the  designated  mutual  fund(s) must be met
before an investor can participate in this program. The participant must receive
a prospectus,  which contains more complete  information  (including charges and
expenses),  for each fund  before the  application  form to  participate  in the
Resource Accumulation Plan is submitted.

      PAINEWEBBER SERVICE GROUP AND  RESOURCELINE(REGISTERED).  RMA Participants
have around the clock access to information  concerning  their RMA. This service
is available by calling (800) RMA-1000. RMA representatives are available at the
Financial  Services  Center from 7:30 a.m. to midnight  (Eastern time) weekdays,
and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  (Eastern time)  weekends,  to answer  inquiries
from Participants regarding their accounts, and ResourceLine, an automated voice
response system, provides 24 hour account information.

      MARGIN.  RMA Participants may choose to have a margin feature as part
of their RMA.

                                   APPENDIX B

      SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE BSA PROGRAM FOR BSA ACCOUNTHOLDERS


      Shares of the Funds are available to investors who are Participants in the
Business  Services   Account(SERVICEMARK)   ("BSA(SERVICEMARK)")   program.  The
following  is a  summary  of some of the  services  that  are  available  to BSA
Participants. For more complete information,  investors should refer to separate
materials their Financial Advisors can provide them.

      PREMIER BUSINESS SERVICES ACCOUNT  STATEMENT.  BSA Participants  receive a
monthly Premier  statement,  which provides  consolidated  information to assist
with portfolio management decisions and business finances. The Premier statement
summarizes   securities   transactions,   card   transactions,   and  checks  in
chronological  order with running cash and money fund  balances.  The "Portfolio
Management"  feature provides cost basis  information where available as well as
calculations  of gains and  losses  on most  investments.  A menu of  customized
statement   options  is  now  available  to  make  the  monthly  reporting  more
comprehensive.

      PRELIMINARY AND YEAR-END  SUMMARIES  STATEMENT.  BSA Participants  receive
preliminary  and  year-end  summary   information   statements  that  provide  a
comprehensive overview of tax-related activity in the account during the year to
help investors plan.

      CHOICE OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS AND AUTOMATIC  SWEEP OF  UNINVESTED  CASH. As
described  more fully in the  Prospectus  under the heading  "Managing Your Fund
Account -- Buying  Shares,"  BSA  Participants  select a money  market fund as a

uninvested  cash is  automatically  swept  on a daily  basis.  By  automatically
investing cash balances into a money market fund,  this sweep feature  minimizes
the extent to which an  investor's  assets remain idle while held in the account
pending investment.

      CHECK WRITING.  BSA  Participants  have ready access to the assets held in
their BSA through the check writing feature. There are no minimum check amounts.
Participants  can order  from a number of  business  check  styles to suit their
check  writing  needs.  The BSA checks also  include an expense code system that
enables  investors  to  track  business  expense  types  for tax  and  financial
planning.

      MASTERCARD BUSINESSCARD(REGISTERED)--BSA Participants can elect to receive
a complementary  MasterCard  BusinessCard  debit card for easy access to account
assets. The MasterCard  BusinessCard is accepted  worldwide,  and can be used to
obtain cash at thousands  of automated  teller  machines.  Through  MasterCard's
enhanced   MasterAssist(REGISTERED)  and  MasterPurchase(REGISTERED)   programs,
investors can obtain other  benefits  including  full value  primary  rental car
insurance,  emergency medical and travel assistance, legal services and purchase
protection.

      MARGIN.  BSA Participants may choose to have a margin feature as part
of their BSA.

      EXTENDED ACCOUNT PROTECTION. The net equity securities balance in a BSA is
protected  through  private  insurance  in  the  event  of  the  liquidation  of
PaineWebber.  This  protection  is in  addition to the  $500,000  in  protection
provided to accountholders  by the Securities  Investor  Protection  Corporation
("SIPC").  Neither the SIPC  protection  nor the additional  account  protection
insurance  applies  to  shares  of funds  that are  registered  with the  funds'
transfer  agent in the name of the  shareholder,  rather  than being held in the
shareholder's  BSA  and  registered  in the  name of  PaineWebber  or one of its
correspondent firms.

      PAINEWEBBER SERVICE GROUP AND  RESOURCELINE(REGISTERED).  BSA Participants
can call the  Financial  Services  Center at (800)  BSA-0140  from 7:30 a.m.  to
