indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. It
also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual return each year and that the
operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or
lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Lexington SmallCap Fund, Inc.

Risk/Return Summary

During the three year period shown in the above bar graph chart, the fund's
highest quarterly return was 15.04% for the fourth quarter in 1998 and the
fund's lowest quarterly return was -11.43% for the fourth quarter in 1997.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment Strategy

The Lexington SmallCap Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") will invest at least 90% of its
assets in domestic companies having market capitalizations between $20 million
and $1 billion at the time of investment. The Fund may invest the remaining 10%
of its assets in a similar manner, or in securities of companies with market
capitalizations below $20 million, above $1 billion, foreign companies with
dollar denominated shares traded in the United States, American Depository
Shares or Receipts, real estate investment trusts and cash. The Fund will invest
primarily in listed securities or those traded over-the-counter.

In selecting investments for the Fund, Lexington Management Corporation ("the
Manager") and the sub-adviser have established a universe of small
capitalization stocks that are screened using the sub-adviser's proprietary
stock selectivity model. Once the stocks are evaluated and ranked by expected
future relative price performance, the adviser and sub-adviser establish both
sector and diversification allocations in building the portfolio.

Principal Risks

Through stock investment, the Fund may expose you to common stock risks which
may cause you to lose money if there is a sudden decline in the share price of
one or more of the companies in the Fund's portfolio. Due to the inherent
effects of the stock market, the value of the Fund will fluctuate with the
movement of the market as well as in response to the activities of individual
companies in the Fund's portfolio. Also, the Fund's focus on small cap stocks
may expose investors to additional risks. Smaller companies typically have more
limited product lines, markets and financial resources than larger companies,
and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than
those of larger, more mature companies. As a result, small cap stocks, and
therefore the Fund, may fluctuate significantly more in value than larger cap
stocks and funds that focus on them.

Bar Chart and Performance Table

The bar chart and performance table below show the risks of investing in the
Fund. The chart shows changes in the performance from ______ through _______.
The table shows how the average annual returns compares with the most commonly

they tend to be much more volatile than the U.S. market due to their relative
immaturity and instability. The economies of emerging countries may be
predominately based on only a few industries or on revenue from particular
commodities, international aid and other assistance. Some emerging Asian
countries, such as Malaysia in 1998, have restricted the flow or money into or
out of the country. Emerging markets also tend to be less liquid and offer less
regulatory protection for investors. Since mid-1997 Asia has faced serious
economic problems and disruptions, causing substantial losses for some
investors. Also, most of the securities in which the Fund invests are
denominated in foreign currencies, whose values may decline against the U.S.
dollar.

Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund, Inc.

Risk/Return Summary

Investment Objective

The Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund's investment objective is to seek
long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities
of Russian companies.

Investment Strategy

The Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") seeks to achieve its
objective by investing at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of
Russian companies. The Fund may invest the other 35% of its total assets in debt
securities issued by Russian companies and debt securities issued or guaranteed
by the Russian government. The Fund may also invest in the equity securities of
issuers outside of Russia which the Fund believes will experience growth in
revenue and profits from participation in the development of the economics of
the former Soviet Union.

Principal Risks

The Fund's investments will include investments in Russian companies that have
characteristics and business relationships common to companies outside of
Russia, and as a result, outside economic forces may cause fluctuations in the
value of securities held by the Fund.

Additional risks associated with investing in securities of Russian issuers
include:

o The lack of available reliable financial information which has been
prepared and audited in accordance with U.S. or Western European generally
accepted accounting principles and auditing standards;

o The extremely volatile and often illiquid nature of the secondary market
for Russian securities;

o A cumbersome share registration system for recording ownership of Russian
Securities which may adversely affect a person's ability to prove ownership.

14
<PAGE>

o The potential for unfavorable action such as expropriation, dilution,
devaluation, default or excessive taxation by the Russian government or any of
its agencies or political subdivisions with respect to investments in Russian
securities by or for the benefit of foreign entities.

The Manager of the Fund considers an emerging markets company to be any company
domiciled in a country emerging market, or any company that derives 50% or more
of its total revenue from either goods or services produced or sold in countries
with emerging markets.

The Fund may invest the remaining 35% of its assets in equity securities without
regard to whether the issuer qualifies as an emerging market company, debt
securities denominated in the currency of an emerging market country or issued
or guaranteed by an emerging market company or the government of an emerging
market country, short-term or medium-term debt securities or other types of
securities.

Principal Risks

Through stock investment, the Fund may expose you to common stock risks which
may cause you to lose money if there is a sudden decline in the share price of
one of the companies in the Fund's portfolio. In addition, the risks of
investing in emerging markets are considerable. Emerging stock markets tend to
be more volatile than the U.S. market due to the relative immaturity, and
occasional instability, of their political and economic systems. In the past
many emerging markets restricted the flow of money into or out of their stock
markets, and some continue to impose restrictions on foreign investors. These
markets tend to be less liquid and offer less regulatory protection for
investors. The economies of emerging countries may be predominately based on
only a few industries or on revenue from particular commodities, international
aid and other assistance. In addition, most of the foreign securities in which
the Fund invests are denominated in foreign currencies, whose values may decline
against the U.S. dollar.

FIXED-INCOME FUNDS AND MONEY MARKET FUNDS

Lexington GNMA Income Fund, Inc.

Risk/Return Summary

Investment Objective

The Lexington GNMA Income Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of
current income, consistent with liquidity and safety of principal, through
investment primarily in mortgage-backed GNMA ("Ginnie Mae") Certificates that
are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the United
States Government.

Investment Strategies

Under normal conditions, the Lexington GNMA Income Fund (the "Fund") will invest
at least 80% of the value of its total assets in Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA") mortgage-backed securities (also known as "GNMA
Certificates").2 The remaining assets of the Fund will be invested in other
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, including U.S. Treasury securities.

Principal Risks

Through investment in GNMA securities, the Fund may expose you to certain risks
which may cause you to lose money. Mortgage prepayments are affected by the
level of interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions
and the underlying location and age of the mortgage. In periods of rising
interest rates, the prepayment rate tends to decrease, lengthening the average
life of a pool of GNMA securities. In periods of falling interest rates, the
prepayment rate tends to increase, shortening the life of a pool. Because
prepayments of principal generally occur when interest rates are declining, it
is likely that the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds of prepayments at
lower interest rates than those of their previous investments. If this occurs,
the Fund's yields will decline correspondingly.

<PAGE>

Investment Strategy

The Lexington Global Income Fund (the "Fund") invests in a variety of foreign
and domestic high yield, lower rated or unrated debt securities.

The Fund, under normal conditions, invests substantially all of its assets in
lower rated or unrated debt securities of domestic companies, companies of
developed foreign countries, and companies in countries with emerging markets.
The credit quality of the foreign debt securities which the Fund intends to buy
is generally equal to U.S. corporate debt securities known as "junk bonds". The
debt securities in which the Fund invests consist of bonds, notes, debentures
and other similar instruments. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by
foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities, central banks,
commercial banks and other corporate entities. The Fund may invest up to 100% of
its total assets in domestic and foreign debt securities that are rated below
investment grade or are of comparable quality. The Fund may also invest in
securities that are in default as to payment of principal and/or interest, and
bank loan participations and assignments.

Principal Risks

Through investment in bonds, the Fund may expose you to certain risks which may
cause you to lose money. Junk bonds have a higher risk of default, tend to be
less liquid, and may be more difficult to value. The Fund could lose money
because of foreign government actions, political instability, or lack of
adequate and accurate information. Currency and investment risks tend to be
higher in emerging markets.

MONEY MARKET FUNDS

Lexington Money Market Trust

Risk/Return Summary

Investment Objective

The Lexington Money Market Trust's investment objective is to seek as high a
level of current income from short-term investments as is consistent with the
preservation of capital and liquidity. The Lexington Money Market Trust seeks to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share.

Investment Strategy

The Lexington Money Market Trust (the "Fund") will invest in short-term money
market instruments that have been rated in one of the two highest rating
categories by both S&P and Moody's, both major rating agencies. The Fund invests
in short-term money market instruments (those with a remaining maturity of 397
days or less) that offer attractive yields and are considered to be undervalued
relative to issues of similar credit quality and interest rate sensitivity.

The Fund will also insure that its money market instruments average weighted
maturities do not exceed 90 days.

Principal Risks

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to
preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the Fund.

PRECIOUS METAL FUNDS

Lexington Goldfund, Inc.

Risk/Return Summary

Investment Objective

The Lexington Goldfund's investment objective is to attain capital appreciation
and such hedge against the loss of buying power as may be obtained through
investment in gold and securities of companies engaged in mining or processing
gold throughout the world.

Investment Strategy

Under normal conditions the Lexington Goldfund, Inc. (the "Fund") will invest at
least 65% of the value of its total assets in gold and the equity securities of
companies engaged in mining or processing gold ("gold-related securities"). The
Fund may also invest in other precious metals, including platinum, palladium and
silver. The Fund intends to invest less than half of the value of its assets in
gold and other precious metals. Gold-related securities may include securities
of foreign issuers.

Principal Risks

Through stock investment, the Fund may expose you to common stock risks which
may cause you to lose money if there is a sudden decline in the share price in
one of the companies in the Fund's portfolio. Due to the inherent effects of the
stock market, the value of the Fund will fluctuate with the movement of the
market as well as in response to the activities of individual companies in the
Fund's portfolio. In addition, the Fund's focus on precious metals and precious
metal stocks may expose the investor to additional risks. The market for gold or
other precious metals is concentrated in countries that have the potential for
instability and the market for gold and other precious metals is widely
unregulated. As a result, the price of precious gold and precious metal stocks,
and therefore the Fund, may fluctuate significantly.

Lexington Silver Fund, Inc.

Risk/Return Summary

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Lexington Silver Fund, Inc. is to maximize total
return on its assets from long-term growth of capital and income principally
through investment in a portfolio of securities which are engaged in the
exploration, mining, processing, fabrication or distribution of silver
("silver-related companies")and in silver bullion .

Investment Strategies

Lexington Silver Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") will seek to achieve its objective
through investment in common stocks of established silver-related companies and
in silver bullion which have the potential for long-term growth of capital or
income, or both. The common stocks of silver-related companies in which the Fund
intends to invest may or may not pay dividends. The Fund may also invest in
other types of securities of silver-related companies including convertible
securities, preferred stocks, bonds, notes and warrants. When the Manager
believes that the return on debt securities will equal or exceed the return on
common stocks, the Fund may, in pursuing its objective of maximizing growth and
income, substantially increase its holding in debt securities.

The securities in which the Fund invests include issues of established
silver-related companies domiciled in the United States, Canada and Mexico as
well as other silver producing countries throughout the world. At least 80% of
the Fund's assets will be invested in established silver-related companies which
have been in business more than three years.

Principal Risks

Through stock investment, the Fund may expose you to common stock risks which
may cause you to lose money if there is a sudden decline in the share price in
one of the companies in the Fund's portfolio. Due to the inherent effects of the
stock market, the value of the Fund will fluctuate with the movement of the
market as well as in response to the activities of individual companies in the
Fund's portfolio. In addition, the Fund's focus on precious metals and precious
metal stocks may expose the investor to additional risks. The market for silver
is relatively limited, the sources of silver are concentrated in countries that
have the potential for instability and the market for silver is widely
unregulated. As a result, the price of silver, and therefore the Fund, may
fluctuate significantly.

RISKS OF INVESTING

Risks of Investing in Mutual Funds

The following risks are common to all mutual funds and, therefore, apply to the
Funds:

o Market Risk. The market value of a security may go up or down, sometimes
rapidly and unpredictably. A decline in market value may cause a security to be
worth less than it was at the time of purchase. Market risk applies to
individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy.

o Manager Risk. Fund management affects Fund performance. A Fund may lose
money if the Fund manager's investment strategy does not achieve the Fund's
objective or the manager does not implement the strategy properly.

o Year 2000 Risk. The Fund or its service providers could be disrupted by
problems in their computer systems related to the Year 2000.

Risks of Investing in Securities of Small Companies

The following risks apply to all mutual funds that invest in securities of small
companies (market value of less than U.S. $1 billion) including Lexington
SmallCap Fund, Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund and Lexington Troika
Dialog Russia Fund.

Investing in small companies generally involve greater risk than investing in
larger companies for the following reasons, among others:

o limited product lines;

o limited markets or financial or managerial resources;

o their securities may be more susceptible to losses and risks of
bankruptcy;

o their securities may trade less frequently and with lower volume, leading
to greater price fluctuations; and,

o their securities are subject to increased volatility and reduced
liquidity due to limited market making and arbitrage activities.

27
<PAGE>

Risks of Investing in Foreign Securities

The following risks apply to all mutual funds that invest in foreign securities
including Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund, Lexington Goldfund,
Lexington Growth and Income Fund, Lexington International Fund, Lexington Global
Income Fund, Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund and Lexington Worldwide
Emerging Markets Fund.

o Legal System and Regulation Risk. Foreign countries have different legal
systems and different regulations concerning financial disclosure, accounting
and auditing standards. Corporate financial information that would be disclosed
under U.S. law may not be available. Foreign accounting and auditing standards
may render a foreign corporate balance sheet more difficult to understand and
interpret than one subject to U.S. law and standards. Additionally, government
oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less
stringent than in the U.S.

o Currency Risk. Most foreign stocks are denominated in the currency of the
stock exchange where they are traded. The Fund's Net Asset Value is denominated
in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and most foreign
currencies fluctuates; therefore, the Net Asset Value of the Fund will be
affected by a change in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the
currencies in which the Fund's stocks are denominated. The Fund may also incur
transaction costs associated with exchanging foreign currencies into U.S.
dollars.

o Stock Exchange and Market Risk. Foreign stock exchanges generally have
less volume than U.S. stock exchanges. Therefore, it may be more difficult to
buy or sell shares of foreign securities, which increases the volatility of
share prices on such markets. Additionally, trading on foreign stock markets may
involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs.

o Expropriation Risk. Foreign governments may expropriate the Fund's
investments either directly by restricting the Fund's ability to sell a security
or by imposing exchange controls that restrict the sale of a currency or by
taxing the Fund's investments at such high levels as to constitute confiscation
of the security. There may be limitations on the ability of the Fund to pursue
and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government.

Risks of Investing in Lower-Quality Debt Securities

The following risks apply to all mutual funds that invest in lower-quality debt
securities commonly referred to as "junk bonds" including Lexington Global
Income Fund and Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund.

Junk bonds are highly speculative. Changes in economic conditions or other
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of issuers of their
securities to make principal and interest payments than with higher-grade debt
securities.

Risks of Investing in Securities of Russian Companies

The following risks apply to all mutual funds that invest in securities of
Russian companies including Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund.

Non-diversified Portfolio

The following risks apply to all mutual funds that are non-diversified
investment companies including Lexington Goldfund, Lexington Silver Fund,
Lexington Global Income Fund and Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund.

These Funds may invest an unlimited proportion of their total assets in a single
company, which increases risk. However, these Funds intend to comply with
diversification requirements of the federal tax law to qualify as regulated
investment companies. For more detailed information on the federal tax law
diversification requirement, see the tax section of the Fund's Statement of
Additional Information.

Precious Metals

The following risks apply to all mutual funds that invest in precious metals
including Lexington

28
<PAGE>

Goldfund and Lexington Strategic Silver Fund.

Precious metal investments have the following characteristics:

o earn no income;

o transaction and storage costs may be higher; and

o the Fund will realize gain only with an increase in the market price.

Temporary Defensive Position

When the Funds anticipate unusual market or other conditions, they may
temporarily depart from their goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term investments. This could help the Fund avoid losses but may mean lost
opportunities.

purchase of a new Fund must meet its investment minimum and is limited to the
total value of your existing accounts or $10,000, whichever is greater. To
complete the transaction, we must receive payment within three business days. We
reserve the right to collect any losses from your account if we do not receive
payment within that time.

Buying Additional Shares

o By Mail. Complete the form at the bottom of any Lexington statement and
mail it with your check payable to The Lexington Funds. Or mail the check
with a signed letter noting the name of the Fund in which you want to
invest, your account number and telephone number.

o "Lex-O-Matic" the Automatic Investment Plan:

A shareholder may make additional purchases of shares automatically on a
monthly or quarterly basis with the automatic investing plan,
"Lex-O-Matic."

"Lex-O-Matic" will be established on existing accounts only. You may not
use a "Lex-O-Matic" investment to open a new account. The minimum automatic
investment amount is $50.

Your bank must be a member of the Automated Clearing House.

To establish Lex-O-Matic, attach a voided check (checking account) or
preprint ed deposit slip (savings account) from your bank account to your
Lexington Account Application or your letter of instruction.

Investments will automatically be transferred into your Lexington Account
from your checking or savings account.

Investments may be transferred either monthly or quarterly on or about the
15th day of the month.

You should allow 20 business days for this service to become effective.

You may cancel your Lex-O-Matic at any time provided that a letter is sent
to the Transfer Agent ten days prior to the scheduled investment date. Your
request will be processed upon receipt.

By investing in the Lexington Funds, you appoint the Transfer Agent as your
agent to establish an open account to which all shares purchased will be
credited, along with any dividends and capital gain distributions which are paid
in additional shares (see "Dividends and Distributions"). Stock certificates
will be issued, upon written request, for full shares of Lexington Funds.
Certificates will not be issued for 30 days unless payment is made by certified
check, cashier's check or federal funds wire. In order to facilitate redemptions
and transfers, most shareholders elect not to receive certificates

You may purchase shares of the Lexington Funds through broker-dealers or
financial institutions that have selling agreements with LFD. Broker-dealers and
financial institutions that process such orders

34
<PAGE>

for customers may charge a fee for their services. The fee may be avoided by
purchasing shares directly from the Lexington Funds.

Exchanging Shares

Shares of the Lexington Funds may be exchanged for shares of equivalent value of
any Lexington Fund. If an exchange involves investing in a Lexington Fund not
already owned, the dollar amount of the exchange must meet the minimum initial
investment amount. An exchange will result in a recognized gain or loss for
income tax purposes. Exchanges of over $500,000 will take three days to
complete.

You may make exchange requests in writing or by telephone. Telephone exchanges
may only be made if you have completed a Telephone Authorization form. Telephone
exchanges may not be made within 7 days of a previous exchange.

The minimum exchange required is $500 unless a new account is being established.

Telephone exchanges may only involve shares held on deposit by the Transfer
Agent, not shares held in certificate form by the shareholder.

Any new account established by a shareholder will also have the privilege of
exchange by telephone in the Lexington Funds. All accounts involved in a
telephonic exchange must have the same dividend option as the account from which
the shares are transferred.

Minimum Account Balances

Due to the costs of maintaining small accounts, we require a minimum combined
account balance of [$1,000]. If your account balance falls below that amount for
any reason other than market fluctuations, we will ask you to add to your
account. If your account balance is not brought up to the minimum or you do not
send us other instructions, we will redeem your shares and send you the
proceeds. We believe that this policy is in the best interests of all our
shareholders.

Redeeming Your Shares

The Funds will redeem all or any portion of your outstanding shares upon
request. Redemptions can be made on any day that the NYSE is open for trading.
The redemption price is the net asset value per share next determined after the
shares are validly tendered for redemption and such request is received by the
Transfer Agent. Payment of redemption proceeds is made promptly regardless of
when redemption occurs and normally within three days after receipt of all
documents in proper form, including a written redemption order with appropriate
signature guarantee. Redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired in accordance
with the shareholder's instructions. The Funds may suspend the right of
redemption under certain extraordinary circumstances in accordance with the
rules of the SEC. In the case of shares purchased by check and redeemed shortly
after the purchase, the Transfer Agent will not mail redemption proceeds until
it has been notified that the monies used for the purchase have been collected,
which may take up to 15 days from the purchase date. Shares tendered for
redemptions through brokers or dealers (other than the Distributor) may be
subject to a service charge by such brokers or dealers. Procedures for
requesting a redemption are set forth below.

A 2% redemption fee will be charged on the redemption of shares of the Lexington
Troika Dialog Russia Fund held less than 365 days. The redemption fee will not
apply to shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. The redemption fee will be applied on a share by share basis
using the "first shares in, first shares out" (FIFO) method. Therefore, the
oldest shares are sold first.

35
<PAGE>

Redeeming by Written Instruction

Write a letter giving your name, account number, the name of the fund from which
you wish to redeem and the dollar amount or number of shares you wish to redeem.

Signature-guarantee your letter if you want the redemption proceeds to go to a
party other than the account owner(s), your predesignated bank account or if the
dollar amount of the redemption exceeds $25,000. Signature guarantees may be
provided by an eligible guarantor institution such as a commercial bank, an NASD
member firm such as a stockbroker, a savings association or national securities
exchange. Contact the Transfer Agent for more information.

If a redemption request is sent to the Fund in New Jersey, it will be
forwarded to the Transfer Agent and the effective date of redemption will be the
date received by the Transfer Agent. Checks for redemption proceeds will
normally be mailed within three business days. Shareholders who redeem all their
shares will receive a check representing the value of the shares redeemed plus
the accrued dividends through the date of redemption. Where shareholders redeem
only a portion of their shares, all dividends declared but unpaid will be
distributed on the next dividend payment date.

Redeeming by Telephone

o Shares of the Fund may be redeemed by telephone. Call the Fund toll free at
1-800-526-0056.

o [A redemption authorization and signature guarantee must be given before a
shareholder may redeem by telephone. A redemption authorization form is
contained in the New Account Application and authorization forms may be
obtained by calling the Funds.]

o Telephone redemption privileges may be cancelled by instructing the
Transfer Agent in writing. Your request will be processed upon receipt.

o Exchange by telephone.

Redeeming by Check

o Check writing is available on the Money Market Trust at no charge.

o The minimum amount per check is $100 or more up to $500,000. Checks for
less than $100 or over $500,000 will not be honored.

o All checks require only one signature unless otherwise indicated. Checks
will be returned to you at the end of each month.

o Redemption checks are free, but a charge of $15.00 may be imposed for any
stop payments requested.

o Redemption checks should not be used to close your account.

o Redemption by check are available for shares for which share certificates
have not been issued, and may not be used to redeem shares purchased by
check which have been on the books of the Fund for less than 15 days.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

Under a Systematic Withdrawal Plan, a shareholder with an account value of
$10,000 or more in a fund may receive (or have sent to a third party) periodic
payments (by check or wire). If the proceeds are to be mailed to a third party a
signature guarantee is required. The minimum payment amount is $100 from each
fund account. Payments may be made either monthly or quarterly on the 1st of
each month. Depending on the form of payment requested, shares will be redeemed
up to five business days before the redemption proceeds are scheduled to be
received by the shareholder. The redemption will result in the recognition of
gain or loss for income tax purposes.

How Fund Shares Are Priced

How and when we calculate the Funds' price or net asset value (NAV) determines
the price at which you will buy or sell shares. The net asset value of each fund
is determined once daily as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on each day that the
NYSE is open for trading. Per share net asset value is calculated by dividing
the value of each fund's total net assets by the total number of that fund's
shares then outstanding.

As more fully described in the Statement of Additional Information, portfolio
securities are valued using current market valuations: either the last reported
sales price or, in the case of securities for which there is no reported last
sale and fixed-income securities, the mean between the closing bid and asked
price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or which
are illiquid are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith under
the supervision of the Funds' officers, and by the Manager and the Boards, in
accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Boards.
Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost as reflecting fair value.

The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and traded on foreign
exchanges or in foreign markets will be translated into U.S. dollars at the last
price of their respective currency denomination against U.S. dollars quoted by a
major bank or, if no such quotation is available, at the rate of exchange
determined in accordance with policies established in good faith by the Boards.
Because the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies must be
translated into U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of such currencies in
relation to the U.S. dollar may affect the net asset value of fund shares even
without any change in the foreign-currency denominated values of such
securities.

Because foreign securities markets may close before the Funds determine their
net asset values, events affecting the value of portfolio securities occurring
between the time prices are determined and the time the Funds calculate their
net asset values may not be reflected unless the Manager, under supervision of
the Board, determines that a particular event would materially affect a fund's
net asset value.

Money Market Funds. The price of Money Market Funds is determined at 12 noon
Eastern time on most business days. If we receive your order by that time, your
shares will priced at the NAV calculated at noon that day. If we receive your
order after 12 noon Eastern time, you will pay the next price we determined
after receiving your order.

Foreign Funds. Several of our Funds invest in securities denominated in foreign
currencies and traded on foreign exchanges. To determine their value, we convert
their foreign-currency price into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rate last
quoted by a major bank. Exchange rates fluctuate frequently and may affect the
U.S. dollars value of foreign-denominated securities, even if their market
prices do not change. In addition, some foreign exchanges are open for trading
when the U.S. market is closed. As a result, a Fund's foreign securities - and
its price -may fluctuate during periods when you can't buy, sell or exchange
shares in the Fund.

37
<PAGE>

Bank Holidays. On bank holidays we will not calculate the price of the
Fixed-Income and Money Market Funds, even if the NYSE is open that day. Shares
in these Funds will be sold at the next NAV we determine after receipt of your
order.

Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions

Each Fund distributes substantially all its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders each year.

o You are not guaranteed any distributions.

o The Board of Directors has discretion in determining the amount and
frequency of the dis tributions.

o Unless you request cash distributions in writing, all dividends and other
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares and
credited to the shareholders' account.

Distributions Affect NAV.

o The Funds will pay distributions as of the record date.

o Dividends and capital gains waiting distribution are included in each
Fund's daily NAV.

Buying a Dividend. If you buy shares of a Fund just before a distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and receive a portion of the purchase
price back as a taxable distribution when the distribution is made.

Taxes

Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company, which means
that it pays no federal income tax on the earnings or capital gains it
distributes to its shareholders. The following statements apply with respect to
each Fund:

o Ordinary dividends from the Fund are taxable as ordinary income and
dividends from the Fund's long-term capital gains are taxable as capital
gain.

o Dividends are treated in the same manner for federal income tax purposes
whether you receive them in the form of cash or additional shares. They may
also be subject to state and local taxes.

o Dividends from the Lexington GNMA Income Fund, Inc. that are attributable
to interest on certain U.S. Government obligations may be exempt from
certain state and local income taxes. the extent to which ordinary
dividends are attributable to U.S. Government obligations will be provided
on the tax tax statements you receive from the Fund.

o Certain dividends paid to you in January will be taxable as if they had
been paid the previous December.

o We will mail you tax statements annually showing the amounts and tax status
of the distributions you received.

o When you sell (redeem) or exchange shares of a Fund, you must recognize any
gain or loss. However, as long as Lexington Money Market Trust's NAV per
share does not deviate from $1.00, there will be no gain or loss.

o Under certain circumstances, a Fund may be in a position to "pass-through"
to you the right to a

38
<PAGE>

credit or deduction for foreign taxes paid by the Fund.

oBecause your tax treatment depends on your purchase price and tax position, you
should keep your regular account statements for use in determining your tax.

oYou should review the more detailed discussion of federal income tax
considerations in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available
for free by calling 1-800-526-0056.

***We provide this tax information for your general information. You should
consult your own tax adviser about the tax consequences of investing in a
Fund.***

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Fund's investment objective, as described under "Investment Objective
and Policies" in the Fund's prospectus, and the following investment
restrictions are matters or fundamental policy which may not be changed without
the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund
present at a shareholders' meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the
outstanding shares. Under these investment restrictions:

(1) At least 80% of the Fund's assets will be invested in established
silver-related companies which have been in business for more than three
years.

(2) At the end of each quarter of the taxable year, (i) at least 50%
of the market value of the Fund's assets be invested in cash, U.S.
Government securities, the securities of other regulated investment
companies and other securities, with such other securities of any one
issuer counted for the purposes of this calculation only if the value of
thereof is not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets, and
(ii) not more than 25% of its total assets be invested in securities of any
one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities of
other regulated investment companies).

(3) The Fund will not purchase real estate, interests in real estate
or real estate limited partnership interests except that, to the extent
appropriate under its investment program, the Fund may invest in securities
secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by companies,
including real estate investment trusts, which deal in real estate or
interests therein.

(4) The Fund will not invest in commodity contracts, except that the
Fund may, to the extent appropriate under its investment program, purchase
securities of companies engaged in such activities, may enter into
transactions in financial and index futures contracts and related options,
may engage in transactions on a when-issued or forward commitment basis,
and may enter into forward currency contracts. Transactions in which silver
bullion is taken in payment of principal, interest or both or a debt
instrument and where the Fund disposes of the silver bullion for cash will
not be subject to this restriction.

(5) The Fund will not make loans, except that, to the extent
appropriate under its investment program, the Fund may (a) purchase bonds,
debentures or other debt securities, including short-term obligations, (b)
enter into repurchase transactions and (c) lend portfolio securities or
bullion provided that the value of such loaned securities does not exceed
one-third of the Fund's total assets.

(6) The Fund will not borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may enter
into certain futures contracts and options related thereto; (b) the Fund
may enter into commitments to purchase securities in accordance with the
Fund's investment program, including delayed delivery and when-issued
securities and reverse repurchase agreements; (c) for temporary emergency
purposes, the Fund may borrow money in amounts not exceeding 5% of the
value of its total assets at the time when the loan is made; (d) the Fund
may pledge its silver or portfolio securities or receivables or transfer or
assign or otherwise encumber them in an amount not exceeding one-third of
the value of its total assets; and (e) for purposes of leveraging, the Fund
may borrow money from banks (including its custodian bank), only if,
immediately after such borrowing, the value of the Fund's assets, including
the amount borrowed, less its liabilities, is equal to at least 300% of the
amount borrowed, plus all outstanding borrowings. If at any time, the value
of the Fund's assets fails to meet the 300% asset coverage requirement
relative only to leveraging, the Fund will, within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays), reduce its borrowings to the extent
necessary to meet the 300% test.

(7) The Fund will not issue any senior security (as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), except that
(a) the Fund may enter into commitments to purchase securities in
accordance with the Fund's investment program, including reverse repurchase
agreements, foreign exchange contracts, delayed delivery and when-issued
securities, which may be considered the issuance of senior securities; (b)
the Fund may engage in transactions that may result in the issuance of a
senior security to the extent permitted under applicable regulations,
interpretations of the 1940 Act or an exemptive order; (c) the Fund may
engage in short sales of securities to the extent permitted in its
investment program and other restrictions; (d) the purchase or sale of
futures contracts and related options shall not be considered to involve
the issuance of senior securities; and (e) subject to fundamental
restrictions, the Fund may borrow money as authorized by the 1940 Act.

(8) The Fund will not act as an underwriter of securities except to
the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities
by the Fund, the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

In addition to the above fundamental restrictions, the Fund has undertaken
the following nonfundamental restrictions, which may be changed in the future by
the Board of Directors, without a vote of the shareholders of the Fund:

2
<PAGE>

(1) The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total net assets at
market value in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are securities
that are not readily marketable or cannot be disposed of promptly within
seven days and in the usual course of business without taking a materially
reduced price. Such securities include, but are not limited to, time
deposits and repurchase agreements with maturities longer than seven days.
Securities that may be resold under Rule 144A or securities offered
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act shall not be deemed illiquid
solely by reason of being unregistered. The Investment Adviser shall
determine whether a particular security is deemed to be liquid based on the
trading markets for the specific security and other factors.

(2) The Fund will not invest for the purpose of exercising control
over management of any company.

(3) The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and related
options under the following conditions: (a) the then-current aggregate
futures market prices of financial instruments required to be delivered and
purchased under open futures contracts shall not exceed 30% of the Fund's
total assets, at market value; and (b) no more than 5% of the Fund's total
assets, at market value at the time of entering into a contract, shall be
committed to margin deposits in relation to futures contracts.

(4) The Fund will not issue its securities for any considerations
other than cash or securities except as a dividend or distribution in
connection with a reorganization.

(5) The Fund will not purchase the securities of any other investment
company, except as permitted under the 1940 Act.

(6) The Fund will not make short sales of securities, other than short
sales "against the box," or purchase securities on margin except for
short-term credits necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions,
provided that this restriction will not be applied to limit the use of
options, futures contracts and related options, in the manner otherwise
permitted by the investment restrictions, policies and investment programs
of the Fund.

(7) The Fund will not write, purchase or sell puts, calls on
underlying securities. However, the Fund may invest up to 15% of the value
of its total assets in warrants. This restriction on the purchase of
warrants does not apply to warrants attached to, or otherwise included in,
a unit with other securities.

The percentage restrictions referred to above are to be adhered to at the
time of investment and are not applicable to a later increase or decrease in
percentage beyond the specified limit resulting from change in values or net
assets.

INVESTMENT ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR

LMC, P.O. Box 1515/Park 80 West, Plaza Two, Saddle Brook, New Jersey 07663,
is the investment adviser to the Fund, and, as such, advises and makes
recommendations to the Fund with respect to its investments and investment
policies.

Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, LMC also pays the
Fund's expenses for office rent, utilities, telephone, furniture and supplies
utilized for the Fund's principal office and the salaries and payroll expenses
of officers and directors of the Fund who are employees of LMC or its affiliates
in carrying out its duties under the investment advisory agreement. The Fund
pays all its other expenses, including custodian and transfer agent fees, legal
and registration fees, audit fees, printing of prospectuses, shareholder reports
and communications required for regulatory purposes or for distribution to
existing shareholders, computation of net asset value, mailing of shareholder
reports and communications, portfolio brokerage, taxes and independent
directors' fees, and furnishes LFD at printers overrun cost, such copies of its
prospectus, annual, semi-annual and other reports and shareholder communications
as may be reasonably required for sales purposes.

LMC is paid an investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the
first $30 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.75% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $30 million. LMC has agreed to
reduce its management fee, if necessary, to keep total operating expenses at or
below 2.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Total annual operating
expenses may also be subject to state blue sky regulations. LMC may terminate
this voluntary reduction at any time. Brokerage fees and commissions, taxes,
interest and extraordinary expenses are not deemed to be expenses of the Fund
for such reimbursement. No reimbursement was required for the year ended
December 30, 1998.

LMC's services are provided and its fee is paid pursuant to an investment
advisory agreement, dated December 13, 1991 which will automatically terminate
if assigned and which may be terminated by either party upon 60 days notice. The
terms of the agreement and any renewal thereof must be approved annually by a
majority of the Fund's Board of Directors, including a majority of directors who
are not parties to the agreement or "interested persons" of such parties, as
such term is defined under the 1940 Act.

<PAGE>

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, June 30, 1998, and June 30,
1997, LMC earned investment advisory fees of ________, $388,784, and $462,896,
respectively, and there were no fee reductions.

LMC also acts as administrator to the Fund and performs certain
administrative and internal accounting services, including but not limited to,
maintaining general ledger accounts, regulatory compliance, preparation of
financial information for semi-annual and annual reports, preparing registration
statements, calculating net asset values, shareholder communications and
supervision of the custodian, transfer agent and provides facilities for such
services. The Fund shall reimburse LMC for its actual cost in providing such
services, facilities and expenses.

LFD serves as distributor for Fund shares under a distribution agreement
which is subject to annual approval by a majority of the Fund's Board of
Directors, including a majority of directors who are not "interested persons."
For the Fund's fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996, LFD collected
front-end sales loads from the Fund in the amount of (in thousands) $119.3, $57
and $1,213.9, respectively, in underwriting commissions, and retained (in
thousands) $49.4, $24 and $188.7, respectively. During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998, LFD received no other commissions or compensation from the Fund
either directly or indirectly.

LMC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lexington Global Asset Managers, Inc.,
a publicly traded corporation. Descendants of Lunsford Richardson, Sr., their
spouses, trusts and other related entities have a majority voting control of
outstanding shares of Lexington Global Asset Managers, Inc.

Of the directors, officers or employees ("affiliated persons") of the Fund,
Messrs. Corniotes, DeMichele, Faust, Hisey, Kantor, Lavery, and Vail and Mmes.
Carnicelli, Carr-Waldron, Curcio, DiFalco, Gilfillan, Lederer, and Mosca (see
"Management of the Fund"), may also be deemed affiliates of LMC by virtue of
being officers, directors or employees thereof. As of February 19, 1999 all
officers and directors of the Fund as a group owned of record and beneficially
less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER AND BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

As a general matter, purchases and sales of portfolio securities by the
Fund are placed by LMC with brokers and dealers who in its opinion will provide
the Fund with the best combination of price (inclusive of brokerage commissions)
and execution for its orders. However, pursuant to the Fund's investment
advisory agreement, management consideration may be given in the selection of
broker-dealers to research provided and payment may be made of a commission
higher than that charged by another broker-dealer which does not furnish
research services or which furnishes research services deemed to be of lesser
value, so long as the criteria of Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934 are met. Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
was adopted in 1975 and specifies that a person with investment discretion shall
not be "deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached a fiduciary duty"
solely because such person has caused the account to pay a higher commission
than the lowest available under certain circumstances, provided that the person
so exercising investment discretion makes a good faith determination that the
commissions paid are "reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided...viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or his overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to
which he exercises investment discretion."

Currently, it is not possible to determine the extent to which commissions
that reflect an element of value for research services might exceed commissions
that would be payable for execution services alone. Nor generally can the value
of research services to the Fund be measured. Research services furnished might
be useful and of value to LMC and its affiliates, in serving other clients as
well as the Fund. On the other hand, any research services obtained by LMC or
its affiliates from the placement of portfolio brokerage of other clients might
be useful and of value to LMC in carrying out its obligations to the Fund.

As a general matter, it is the Fund's policy to execute in the U.S. all
transactions with respect to securities traded in the U.S. Over-the-counter
purchases and sales are normally made with principal market makers, except
where, in the opinion of management, the best executions are available
elsewhere.

In addition, the Fund may from time to time allocate brokerage commissions
to firms which furnish research and statistical information to LMC or which
render to the Fund services which LMC is not required to provide. The
supplementary research supplied by such firms is useful in varying degrees and
is of indeterminable value. No formula has been established for the allocation
of business to such brokers.

The brokerage commissions paid and portfolio turnover rates are as follows:

FISCAL YEAR ENDED TOTAL BROKERAGE PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
JUNE 30 COMMISSION PAID RATE
-------------- -------------- --------------
1996 $145,681 44.30%
1997 111,983 18.76%
1998 62,713 28.78%

TAX SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS

The Fund makes available a variety of Prototype Pension and Profit Sharing
Plans including a 401(k) Salary Reduction Plan and a 403(b)(7) Plan. Plan
support services are available by contacting the Shareholder Services Department
of LMC at 1-800-526-0056.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA): Individuals who have earned income may
make tax deductible contributions to their own Individual Retirement Accounts
established under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code. Married investors
filing a joint return neither of whom is an active participant in an employer
sponsored retirement plan, or who have an adjusted gross income of $40,000 or
less ($25,000 or less for single taxpayers) may continue to make a $2,000
($2,250 for spousal IRAs) annual deductible IRA contribution. For adjusted gross
income above $40,000 ($25,000 for single taxpayers), the IRA deduction limit is
generally phased out ratably over the next $10,000 of adjusted gross income,
subject to a minimum $200 deductible contribution. Investors who are not able to
deduct a full $2,000 ($2,250 spousal) IRA contribution because of the
limitations may make a nondeductible contribution to their IRA to the extent a
deductible contribution is not allowed. Federal income tax on accumulations
earned on nondeductible contributions is deferred until such time as these
amounts are deemed distributed to an investor. Rollovers are also permitted
under the Plan. The disclosure statement required by the Internal Revenue
Service to be furnished to individuals who are considering adopting an IRA may
be obtained from the Fund.

SELF-EMPLOYED RETIREMENT PLAN (HR-10): Self-employed individuals may make
tax deductible contributions to a prototype defined contribution pension plan or
profit sharing plan. There are, however, a number of special rules which apply
when self-employed individuals participate in such plans. Currently purchase
payments under a self-employed plan are deductible only to the extent of the
lesser of (i) $30,000 or (ii) 25% of the individuals earned annual income as
defined in the Code (15% in the case of a profit-sharing plan) and in applying
these limitations not more than $160,000 of "earned income" may be taken into
account generally determined after deductions of the contributions to the plan
and one half of the SECA tax for the year.

CORPORATE PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS: The Fund makes available a
Prototype Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Prototype Profit Sharing Plan.

All purchases and redemptions of Fund shares pursuant to any one of the
Fund's tax sheltered plans must be carried out in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan. Accordingly, all plan documents should be reviewed carefully before
adopting or enrolling in the plan. Investors should especially note that a
penalty tax of 10% may be imposed by the IRS on early withdrawals under
corporate, Keogh or IRA plans. It is recommended by the IRS that an investor
consult a tax adviser before investing in the Fund through any of these plans.

An investor participating in any of the Fund's special plans has no
obligation to continue to invest in the Fund and may terminate the plan with the
Fund at any time. Except for expenses of sales and promotion, executive and
administrative personnel, and certain services which are furnished by LMC, the
cost of the plans generally is borne by the Fund; however, each IRA Plan account
is subject to an annual maintenance fee of $12.00 charged by State Street Bank
and Trust Company (the "Agent").

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTION AND REINVESTMENT POLICY

The Fund intends to pay dividends semi-annually from investment income as
declared by its Board of Directors. The Fund intends to declare or distribute a
dividend from capital gain income, if any, in December in order to avoid the
imposition of a 4% federal excise tax.

Any dividends and distribution payments will be reinvested at net asset
value, without sales charge, in additional full and fractional shares of the
Fund unless and until the shareholder notifies the Agent in writing requesting
payments in cash. This request must be received by the Agent at least seven days
before the dividend record date. Upon receipt by the Agent of such written
notice, all further payments will be made in cash until written notice to the
contrary is received. A record of shares owned by each shareholder will be
maintained by the Agent. These accounts will have the rights of other
shareholders with respect to shares so registered (see "How to Purchase Shares
- -- The Open Account" in the Prospectus).

TAX MATTERS

The following is only a summary of certain additional federal income tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not
described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed
explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and the
discussions here and in the Prospectus are not intended as substitutes for
careful tax planning.

<PAGE>

QUALIFICATION AS A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY

The Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code. As a regulated investment company, the Fund is not
subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income (i.e.,
taxable interest, dividends and other taxable ordinary income, net of expenses)
and capital gain net income (i.e., the excess of capital gains over capital
losses) that it distributes to shareholders, provided that it distributes at
least 90% of its investment company taxable income (i.e., net investment income
and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss)
for the taxable year (the "Distribution Requirement"), and satisfies certain
other requirements of the Code that are described below. Distributions by the
Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified circumstances, within
twelve months after the close of the taxable year, will be considered
distributions of income and gains of the taxable year and will therefore count
toward satisfaction of the Distribution Requirement.

If the Fund has a net capital loss (i.e., an excess of capital losses over
capital gains) for any year, the amount thereof may be carried forward up to
eight years and treated as a short-term capital loss which can be used to offset
capital gains in such future years. As of June 30, 1998, the Fund had capital
loss carryforwards of approximately $1,254,382, $3,106,844, $954,860,
$1,911,797, $1,327,486, $1,756,775 and $479,351, which expire in 1999, 2000,
2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006, respectively. Under Code Sections 382 and 383,
if the Fund has an "ownership change," then the Fund's use of its capital loss
carryforwards in any year following the ownership change will be limited to an
amount equal to the net asset value of the Fund immediately prior to the
ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate (which is published
monthly by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")) in effect for the month in
which the ownership change occurs (the rate for October, 1998 is 5.02%). The
Fund will use its best efforts to avoid having an ownership change. However,
because of circumstances which may be beyond the control or knowledge of the
Fund, there can be no assurance that it will not have, or has not already had,
an ownership change. If the Fund has or has had an ownership change, then any
capital gain net income for any year following the ownership change in excess of
the annual limitation on the capital loss carryforwards will have to be
distributed by the Fund and will be taxable to shareholders as described under
"Fund Distributions" below.

In addition to satisfying the Distribution Requirement, a regulated
investment company must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale
or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent
such currency gains are directly related to the regulated investment company's
principal business of investing in stock or securities) and other income
(including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts)
derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or
currencies (the "Income Requirement").

In general, gain or loss recognized by the Fund on the disposition of an
asset will be a capital gain or loss. In addition, gain will be recognized as a
result of certain constructive sales, including short sales "against the box."
However, gain recognized on the disposition of a debt obligation purchased by
the Fund at a market discount (generally, at a price less than its principal
amount) will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the portion of the
market discount which accrued during the period of time the Fund held the debt
obligation. In addition, under the rules of Code section 988, gain or loss
recognized on the disposition of a debt obligation denominated in a foreign
currency or an option with respect thereto (but only to the extent attributable
to changes in foreign currency exchange rates), and gain or loss recognized on
the disposition of a foreign currency forward contract, futures contract, option
or similar financial instrument, or of foreign currency itself, except for
regulated futures contracts or non-equity options subject to Code Section 1256
(unless the Fund elects otherwise), will generally be treated as ordinary income
or loss.

In general, for purposes of determining whether capital gain or loss
recognized by the Fund on the disposition of an asset is long-term or
short-term, the holding period of the asset may be affected if (1) the asset is
used to close a "short sale" (which includes for certain purposes the
acquisition of a put option) or is substantially identical to another asset so
used, (2) the asset is otherwise held by the Fund as part of a "straddle" (which
term generally excludes a situation where the asset is stock and the Fund grants
a qualified covered call option (which, among other things, must not be
deep-in-the-money) with respect thereto) or (3) the asset is stock and the Fund
grants an in-the-money qualified covered call option with respect thereto. In
addition, the Fund may be required to defer the recognition of a loss on the
disposition of an asset held as part of a straddle to the extent of any
unrecognized gain on the offsetting position. Any gain recognized by the Fund on
the lapse of, or any gain or loss recognized by the Fund from a closing
transaction with respect to, an option written by the Fund will be treated as a
short-term capital gain or loss.

Certain transactions that may be engaged in by the Fund (such as regulated
futures contracts, certain foreign currency contracts, and options on stock
indexes and futures contracts) will be subject to special tax treatment as
"Section 1256 contracts." Section 1256 contracts are treated as if they are sold
for their fair market value on the last business day of the taxable year, even
though a taxpayer's obligations (or rights) under such contracts have not
terminated (by delivery, exercise, entering into a closing transaction or
otherwise) as of such date. Any gain or loss recognized as a consequence of the
year-end deemed disposition of Section 1256 contracts is taken into account for
that

<PAGE>

year together with any other gain or loss that was previously recognized upon
the termination of Section 1256 contracts during the year. Any capital gain or
loss for the taxable year with respect to Section 1256 contracts (including any
capital gain or loss arising as a consequence of the year-end deemed sale of
such contracts) is generally treated as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and
40% short-term capital gain or loss. The Fund, however, may elect not to have
this special tax treatment apply to Section 1256 contracts that are part of a
"mixed straddle" with other investments of the Fund that are not Section 1256
contracts.

The Fund may purchase securities of certain foreign investment funds or
trusts which constitute passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs") for
federal income tax purposes. If the Fund invests in a PFIC, it has three
separate options. First, it may elect to treat the PFIC as a qualifying electing
fund (a "QEF"), in which case it will each year have ordinary income equal to
its pro rata share of the PFIC's ordinary earnings for the year and long-term
capital gain equal to its pro rata share of the PFIC's net capital gain for the
year, regardless of whether the Fund receives distributions of any such ordinary
earnings or capital gains from the PFIC. Second, for tax years beginning after
December 31, 1997, the Fund may make a mark-to-market election with respect to
its PFIC stock. Pursuant to such an election, the Fund will include as ordinary
income any excess of the fair market value of such stock at the close of any
taxable year over its adjusted tax basis in the stock. If the adjusted tax basis
of the PFIC stock exceeds the fair market value of such stock at the end of a
given taxable year, such excess will be deductible as ordinary loss in the
amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such excess or the net
mark-to-market gains on the stock that the Fund included in income in previous
years. The Fund's holding period with respect to its PFIC stock subject to the
election will commence on the first day of the following taxable year. If the
Fund makes the mark-to-market election in the first taxable year it holds PFIC
stock, it will not incur the tax described below under the third option.

Finally, if the Fund does not elect to treat the PFIC as a QEF and does not
make a mark-to-market election, then, in general, (1) any gain recognized by the
Fund upon a sale or other disposition of its interest in the PFIC or any "excess
distribution" (as defined) received by the Fund from the PFIC will be allocated
ratably over the Fund's holding period in the PFIC stock, (2) the portion of
such gain or excess distribution so allocated to the year in which the gain is
recognized or the excess distribution is received shall be included in the
Fund's gross income for such year as ordinary income (and the distribution of
such portion by the Fund to shareholders will be taxable as an ordinary income
dividend, but such portion will not be subject to tax at the Fund level), (3)
the Fund shall be liable for tax on the portions of such gain or excess
distribution so allocated to prior years in an amount equal to, for each such
prior year, (i) the amount of gain or excess distribution allocated to such
prior year multiplied by the highest tax rate (individual or corporate, as the
case may be) in effect for such prior year, plus (ii) interest on the amount
determined under clause (i) for the period from the due date for filing a return
for such prior year until the date for filing a return for the year in which the
gain is recognized or the excess distribution is received, at the rates and
methods applicable to underpayments of tax for such period, and (4) the
distribution by the Fund to shareholders of the portions of such gain or excess
distribution so allocated to prior years (net of the tax payable by the Fund
thereon) will again be taxable to the shareholders as an ordinary income
dividend.

Treasury Regulations permit a regulated investment company, in determining
its investment company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., the excess of
net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) for any taxable
year, to elect (unless it made a taxable year election for excise tax purposes
as discussed below) to treat all or any part of any net capital loss, any net
long-term capital loss or any net foreign currency loss (including, to the
extent provided in Treasury Regulations, losses recognized pursuant to the PFIC
mark-to-market election) incurred after October 31 as if it had been incurred in
the succeeding year.

In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund must
satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company. Under this test, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's
taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of
cash and cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated
investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to each of which the
Fund has not invested more than 5% of the value of its total assets in
securities of such issuer and does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of such issuer), and no more than 25% of the value of its
total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than
U.S. Government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are
engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses. Generally, an option (a
call or a put) with respect to a security is treated as issued by the issuer of
the security not the issuer of the option.

If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment
company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) will be
subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for
distributions to shareholders, and such distributions will be taxable to the
shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund's current and
accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions generally will be eligible
for the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.

<PAGE>

EXCISE TAX ON REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANIES

A 4% non-deductible excise tax is imposed on a regulated investment company
that fails to distribute in each calendar year an amount equal to 98% of
ordinary taxable income for the calendar year and 98% of capital gain net income
for the one-year period ended on October 31 of such calendar year (or, at the
election of a regulated investment company having a taxable year ending November
30 or December 31, for its taxable year (a "taxable year election")). The
balance of such income must be distributed during the next calendar year. For
the foregoing purposes, a regulated investment company is treated as having
distributed any amount on which it is subject to income tax for any taxable year
ending in such calendar year.

For purposes of the excise tax, a regulated investment company shall: (1)
reduce its capital gain net income (but not below its net capital gain) by the
amount of any net ordinary loss for the calendar year; and (2) exclude foreign
currency gains and losses and ordinary gains or losses arising as a result of a
PFIC mark-to-market election (or upon an actual disposition of the PFIC stock
subject to such election) incurred after October 31 of any year (or after the
end of its taxable year if it has made a taxable year election) in determining
the amount of ordinary taxable income for the current calendar year (and,
instead, include such gains and losses in determining ordinary taxable income
for the succeeding calendar year).

The Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions
of its ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income prior to the end of
each calendar year to avoid liability for the excise tax. However, investors
should note that the Fund may in certain circumstances be required to liquidate
portfolio investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax
liability.

FUND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment
company taxable income for each taxable year. Such distributions will be taxable
to shareholders as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income
tax purposes, but they will qualify for the 70% dividends-received deduction for
corporate shareholders only to the extent discussed below.

The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital
gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such
amounts. Net capital gain that is distributed and designated as a capital gain
dividend will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain, regardless
of the length of time a shareholder has held his shares or whether such gain was
recognized by the Fund prior to the date on which the shareholder acquired his
shares. The Code provides, however, that under certain conditions only 50% (58%
for alternative minimum tax purposes) of the capital gain recognized upon the
Fund's disposition of domestic "small business" stock will be subject to tax.

Conversely, if the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund
will be taxed thereon (except to the extent of any available capital loss
carryovers) at the 35% corporate tax rate. If the Fund elects to retain its net
capital gain, it is expected that the Fund also will elect to have shareholders
of record on the last day of its taxable year treated as if each such
shareholder received a distribution of his pro rata share of such gain, with the
result that each shareholder will be required to report his pro rata share of
such gain on his tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable
tax credit for his pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain, and will
increase the tax basis for his shares by an amount equal to the deemed
distribution less the tax credit.

Ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund with respect to a taxable year
will qualify for the 70% dividends-received deduction generally available to
corporations (other than corporations, such as S corporations, which are not
eligible for the deduction because of their special characteristics and other
than for purposes of special taxes such as the accumulated earnings tax and the
personal holding company tax) to the extent of the amount of qualifying
dividends received by the Fund from domestic corporations for the taxable year.
Generally, a dividend received by the Fund will not be treated as a qualifying
dividend (1) if it has been received with respect to any share of stock that the
Fund has held for less than 46 days (91 days in the case of certain preferred
stock), excluding for this purpose under the rules of Code section 246(c)(3) and
(4) any period during which the Fund has an option to sell, is under a
contractual obligation to sell, has made and not closed a short sale of, is the
grantor of a deep-in-the-money or otherwise nonqualified option to buy, or has
otherwise diminished its risk of loss by holding other positions with respect
to, such (or substantially identical) stock; (2) to the extent that the Fund is
under an obligation (pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related
payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property;
or (3) to the extent that the stock on which the dividend is paid is treated as
debt-financed under the rules of Code section 246A. The 46-day holding period
must be satisfied during the 90-day period beginning 45 days prior to each
applicable ex-dividend date; the 91-day holding period must be satisfied during
the 180-day period beginning 90 days before each applicable ex-dividend date.
Moreover, the dividends-received deduction for a corporate shareholder may be
disallowed or reduced (1) if the corporate shareholder fails to satisfy the
foregoing requirements with respect to its shares of the Fund or (2) by
application of Code section 246(b) which in general limits the
dividends-received deduction to 70% of the shareholder's taxable income
(determined without regard to the dividends-received deduction and certain other
items).

<PAGE>

Alternative minimum tax ("AMT") is imposed in addition to, but only to the
extent it exceeds, the regular tax and is computed at a maximum marginal rate of
28% for noncorporate taxpayers and 20% for corporate taxpayers on the excess of
the taxpayer's alternative minimum taxable income ("AMTI") over an exemption
amount. For purposes of the corporate AMT, the corporate dividends-received
deduction is not itself an item of tax preference that must be added back to
taxable income or is otherwise disallowed in determining a corporation's AMTI.
However, corporate shareholders generally will be required to take the full
amount of any dividend received from the Fund into account (without a
dividends-received deduction) in determining their adjusted current earnings,
which are used in computing an additional corporate preference item (i.e., 75%
of the excess of a corporate taxpayer's adjusted current earnings over its AMTI
(determined without regard to this item and the AMT net operating loss
deduction)) includable in AMTI.

Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.
It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since
the amount of the Fund's assets to be invested in various countries is not
known. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the close of
its taxable year consist of the stock or securities of foreign corporations, the
Fund may elect to "pass through" to the Fund's shareholders the amount of
foreign taxes paid by the Fund. If the Fund so elects, each shareholder would be
required to include in gross income, even though not actually received, his pro
rata share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund, but would be treated as having
paid his pro rata share of such foreign taxes and would therefore be allowed to
either deduct such amount in computing taxable income or use such amount
(subject to various Code limitations) as a foreign tax credit against federal
income tax (but not both). For purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation
rules of the Code, each shareholder would treat as foreign source income his pro
rata share of such foreign taxes plus the portion of dividends received from the
Fund representing income derived from foreign sources. No deduction for foreign
taxes could be claimed by an individual shareholder who does not itemize
deductions. Each shareholder should consult his own tax adviser regarding the
potential application of foreign tax credits.

Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends
or capital gain dividends will be treated as a return of capital to the extent
of (and in reduction of) the shareholder's tax basis in his shares; any excess
will be treated as gain realized from a sale of the shares, as discussed below.

Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above
regardless of whether such distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund). Shareholders receiving a
distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received,
determined as of the reinvestment date. In addition, if the net asset value at
the time a shareholder purchases shares of the Fund reflects realized but
undistributed income or gain or unrealized appreciation in the value of assets
held by the Fund distributions of such amounts to the shareholder will be
taxable in the manner described above, although economically they constitute a
return of capital to the shareholder.

Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund
into account in the year in which they are made. However, dividends declared in
October, November or December of any year and payable to shareholders of record
on a specified date in such month will be deemed to have been received by the
shareholders (and made by the Fund) on December 31 of such calendar year
provided such dividends are actually paid in January of the following year.
Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax
consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year.

The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the
U.S. Treasury 31% of distributions and the proceeds of redemption of shares,
paid to any shareholder who (1) has failed to provide a correct taxpayer
identification number, (2) is subject to backup withholding for failure properly
to report the receipt of interest or dividend income, or (3) failed to certify
to the Fund that it is not subject to backup withholding or that it is an
"exempt recipient" (such as a corporation).

SALE OR REDEMPTION OF SHARES

A shareholder will recognize gain or loss on a sale or redemption of shares
of the Fund in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the
sale or redemption and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. All
or a portion of any loss so recognized may be disallowed if the shareholder
purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the sale or
redemption. In general, any gain or loss arising from (or treated as arising
from) the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund will be considered capital
gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held
for longer than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the sale or
redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term
capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received on
such shares. For this purpose, the special holding period rules of Code Section
246(c)(3) and (4) generally

<PAGE>

will apply in determining the holding period of shares. Capital losses in any
year are deductible only to the extent of capital gains plus, in the case of a
noncorporate taxpayer, $3,000 of ordinary income.

If a shareholder (i) incurs a sales load in acquiring shares of the Fund,
(ii) disposes of such shares less than 91 days after they are acquired, and
(iii) subsequently acquires shares of the Fund or another fund at a reduced
sales load on account of the shares disposed of, then the original sales load
(to the extent of the reduction in the sales load on the shares subsequently
acquired) shall not be taken into account in determining gain or loss on the
shares disposed of but shall be treated as incurred on the acquisition of the
shares subsequently acquired.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

Taxation of a shareholder who, as to the United States, is a nonresident
alien individual, foreign trust or estate, foreign corporation, or foreign
partnership ("foreign shareholder"), depends on whether the income from the Fund
is "effectively connected" with a U.S. trade or business carried on by such
shareholder.

If the income from the Fund is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, ordinary income dividends paid
to a foreign shareholder will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of
30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) upon the gross amount of the dividend.
Furthermore, such foreign shareholder may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at
the rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on the gross income resulting
from a Fund's election to treat any foreign taxes paid by it as paid by its
shareholders, but may not be allowed a deduction against this gross income or a
credit against this U.S. withholding tax for the foreign shareholder's pro rata
share of such foreign taxes which it is treated as having paid. Such a foreign
shareholder would generally be exempt from U.S. federal income tax on gains
realized on the sale of shares of a Fund, capital gain dividends and amounts
retained by the Fund that are designated as undistributed capital gains.

If the income from the Fund is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business carried on by a foreign shareholder, then ordinary income and capital
gain dividends, and any gains realized upon a sale of shares of the Fund will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. taxpayers.

In the case of a noncorporate foreign shareholder, the Fund may be required
to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 31% on distributions that are
otherwise exempt from withholding (or subject to withholding at a reduced treaty
rate) unless the shareholder furnishes the Fund with proper notification of its
foreign status.

The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the
benefits of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described
herein. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers with
respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund,
including the applicability of foreign taxes.

EFFECT OF FUTURE LEGISLATION; LOCAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The foregoing general discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is
based on the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder as in effect on
the date of this Statement of Additional Information. Future legislative or
administrative changes or court decisions may significantly change the
conclusions expressed herein, and any such changes or decisions may have a
retroactive effect.

Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary income and capital gain
dividends from regulated investment companies may differ from the rules for U.S.
federal income taxation described above. Shareholders are urged to consult their
tax advisers as to the consequences of these and other state and local tax rules
affecting an investment in the Fund.

PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

For the purpose of quoting and comparing the performance of the Fund to
that of other mutual funds and to other relevant market indices in
advertisements or in reports to shareholders, performance may be stated in terms
of total return. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC
rules"), funds advertising performance must include total return quotes
calculated according to the following formula:

(1T)n = ERV
Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years (1, 5 or 10)
ERV= ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods or at the end of the 1, 5 or
10 year periods (or fractional portion thereof).

Under the foregoing formula, the time periods used in advertising will be
based on rolling calendar quarters, updated to the last day of the most recent
quarter prior to submission of the advertising for publication, and will cover

10
<PAGE>

one, five and ten year periods or a shorter period dating from the effectiveness
of the Fund's Registration Statement. In calculating the ending redeemable
value, all dividends and distributions by the Fund are assumed to have been
reinvested at net asset value as described in the prospectus on the reinvestment
dates during the period. Total return, or "T" in the formula above, is computed
by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the 1, 5 or 10
year periods (or fractional portion thereof) that would equate the initial
amount invested to the ending redeemable value. Any recurring account charges
that might in the future be imposed by the Fund would be included at that time.

The Fund may also from time to time include in such advertising a total
return figure that is not calculated according to the formula set forth above in
order to compare more accurately the performance of the Fund with other measures
of investment return. For example, in comparing the Fund's total return with
data published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., or with the performance of
the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index or the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the
Fund calculates its aggregate total return for the specified periods of time by
assuming the investment of $10,000 in Fund shares and assuming the reinvestment
of each dividend or other distribution at net asset value on the reinvestment
date. Percentage increases are determined by subtracting the initial value of
the investment from the ending value and by dividing the remainder by the
beginning value.

Prior to January 1992, the Fund was managed by a different investment
adviser. The total return which includes the maximum sales charge of 5.75% for
the one year, five year and since commencement (1/2/92) period ended December
31, 1998 is as follows:

AVERAGE ANNUAL
PERIOD TOTAL RETURN
------ -------------
1 year ended December 31, 1998 ....................... -33.74%
5 years ended December 31, 1998 ...................... -8.47%
Since commencement (1/2/92) period December 31, 1998 . 0.10%

SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Shareholders will receive reports at least semi-annually showing the Fund's
holdings and other information. In addition, shareholders will receive annual
financial statements audited by KPMG LLP, the Fund's independent auditors.

CUSTODIANS, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

Chase Manhattan Bank N.A., 1211 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
10036, has been retained to act as Custodian for the Fund's investments and

banks and foreign securities depositories which qualify as eligible foreign
sub-custodians under the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

State Street Bank and Trust Company 225 Franklin Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110 has also been retained to act as the transfer agent and
dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.

schedule which recognizes the fact that each Director also serves as a Director
(or Trustee) of other investment companies advised by LMC. Each Director
receives a fee, allocated among all investment companies for which the Director
serves. Effective September 12, 1995 each Director receives annual compensation
of $24,000. Prior to September 12, 1995, the Directors who were not employed by
the Fund or its affiliates received annual compensation of $16,000.

RETIREMENT PLAN FOR ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS

Effective September 12, 1995, the Directors instituted a Retirement Plan
for Eligible Directors (the "Plan") pursuant to which each Director (who is not
an employee of any of the funds managed by LMC, LMC, the administrator or LFD or
any of their affiliates) may be entitled to certain benefits upon retirement
from the Board. Pursuant to the Plan, the normal retirement date is the date on
which the eligible Director has attained age 65 and has completed at least ten
years of continuous and non-forfeited service with one or more of the investment
companies advised by LMC (or its affiliates) (collectively, the "Covered
Funds"). Each eligible Director is entitled to receive from the Covered Fund an
annual benefit commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter coincident
with or next following his date of retirement equal to 5% of his compensation
multiplied by the number of such Director's years of service (not in excess of
15 years) completed with respect to any of the Covered Funds. Such benefit is
payable to each eligible Director in quarterly installments for ten years
following the date of retirement or the life of the Director. The Plan
establishes age 72 as a mandatory retirement age for Directors; however,
Directors serving the Covered Funds as of September 12, 1995 are not subject to
such mandatory retirement. Directors serving the Covered Funds as of September
12, 1995 who elect retirement under the Plan prior to September 12, 1996 will
receive an annual retirement benefit at any increased compensation level if
compensation is increased prior to September 12, 1997 and receive spousal
benefits (i.e., in the event the Director dies prior to receiving full benefits
under the Plan, the Director's spouse (if any) will be entitled to receive the
retirement benefit within the 10 year period.)

<PAGE>

Retiring Directors will be eligible to serve as Honorary Directors for one
year after retirement and will be entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses
to attend a maximum of two meetings.

Set forth in the table below are the estimated annual benefits payable to an
eligible Trustee upon retirement assuming various compensation and years of
service classifications. As of December 31, 1998, the estimated credited years
of service for Directors Chadha, Duer, Maher, McCosh, Miller and Preston are 3,
20, 3, 3, 24 and 20, respectively.

as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification
of such persons is proper in the circumstances. Such determination shall be

consists of directors who are neither "interested persons" of Company as
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, nor parties to the proceeding, or
(ii) if the required quorum is not obtainable or if a quorum of such directors
so directs by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. No
indemnification will be provided by the Company to any director or officer of
the Company of any liability to the Company or Shareholders to which he would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
