2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant  accounting  policies  followed by the
Fiduciary Treasury Reserve.

Security  Valuation -- Investment  securities of the Fiduciary  Treasury Reserve
Portfolio are stated at amortized cost which  approximates  market value.  Under
this  valuation  method,  purchase  discounts  and  premiums  are  accreted  and
amortized ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.

Security  Transactions  and  Investment  Income  --  Security  transactions  are
accounted for on the trade date of the security  purchase or sale. Costs used in
determining net realized  capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are
those  of  the  specific   securities  sold,  adjusted  for  the  accretion  and
amortization  of the  purchase  discounts  and  premiums  during the  respective
holding period. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Repurchase  Agreements  --  Securities  pledged  as  collateral  for  Repurchase
Agreements  are held by each  Portfolio's  custodian  bank until maturity of the
Repurchase  Agreements.  Provisions of the Agreements and procedures  adopted by
the Adviser ensure that the market value of the  collateral,  including  accrued
interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty.  If
the  counterparty  defaults and the value of the  collateral  declines or if the
counterparty enters into insolvency  proceedings,  realization of the collateral
by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

Expenses -- Expenses  that are  directly  related to the  Portfolio  are charged
directly to that Portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Company are prorated
to the Portfolio on the basis of relative net assets.

Distributions  to Shareholders -- Distributions  from net investment  income are
declared  on a daily  basis and are  payable  on the first  business  day of the
following  month.  Any net realized  capital gains on sales of securities  for a
Portfolio are distributed to its shareholders at least annually.

Federal Income Taxes -- It is the  Portfolio's  intention to continue to qualify
as a regulated  investment  company and  distribute  all of its taxable  income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Use of Estimates -- The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that effect the reported  amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAL SERVICES

Pursuant to an investment  advisory  agreement dated March 25, 1991,  investment
advisory services are provided to the Company by CoreStates Investment Advisers,
Inc. ("CoreStates Advisers"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreStates Bank, N.A.
("CoreStates  Bank"),  itself a wholly-owned  subsidiary of CoreStates Financial
Corp.  Under the terms of such  agreement,  CoreStates  Advisers  is entitled to
receive  an annual  fee of 0.50% on the  average  net  assets  of the  Fiduciary
Treasury  Reserve  Portfolio.  For the year ended December 31, 1995,  CoreStates
Advisers  earned  $51,188  in  investment   advisory  fees,  all  of  which  was
voluntarily waived in order to assist the Portfolio in maintaining a competitive

Company is a partner.
