CONNECTICUT DAILY TAX FREE INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.
Connecticut  Daily Tax Free Income  Fund,  Inc.  is a no-load,  non-diversified,
open-end  management  investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. The Fund has two classes of stock authorized,  Class A and Class B.
The Class A shares are subject to a service fee pursuant to the Distribution and
Service Plan. The Class B shares are not subject to a service fee. Additionally,
the  Fund may  allocate  among  its  classes  certain  expenses,  to the  extent
allowable  to  specific  classes,  including  transfer  agent  fees,  government
registration  fees,  certain printing and postage costs, and  administrative and
legal expenses. Class specific expenses of the Fund were limited to distribution
fees and transfer agent expenses.  In all other respects the Class A and Class B
shares  represent  the same  interest in the income and assets of the Fund.  The
Fund is a short-term, tax-exempt money market Fund. Its financial statements are
prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
investment companies as follows:

     a) Valuation  of  Securities -  
     Investments are valued at amortized cost.  Under this valuation  method,  a
     portfolio  instrument  is valued at cost and any  discount  or  premium  is
     amortized  on a  constant  basis to the  maturity  of the  instrument.  The
     maturity of variable rate demand  instruments is deemed to be the longer of
     the period  required  before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the
     principal  amount or the  period  remaining  until the next  interest  rate
     adjustment.

     b)  Federal  Income  Taxes - 
     It is the Fund's  policy to comply with the  requirements  of the  Internal
     Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
     all of its tax exempt and taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
     provision for federal income tax is required.

     c)  Dividends  and   Distributions  -  
     Dividends from investment  income  (excluding  capital gains and losses, if
     any, and  amortization  of market  discount)  are  declared  daily and paid
     monthly.  Distributions of net capital gains, if any,  realized on sales of
     investments are made after the close of the Fund's fiscal year, as declared
     by the Fund's Board of Directors.

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

     e) General -  
     Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income
     is  accrued  as  earned.   Realized   gains  and  losses  from   securities
     transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Under the Investment Management Contract, the Fund pays an investment management
fee to Reich & Tang Asset  Management L.P.  (Manager) at the annual rate of .30%
of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an Administrative  Services Contract the Fund pays to the Manager an
annual fee of .21% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

================================================================================

2.  Investment   Management  Fees  and  Other   Transactions   with  Affiliates.
    (Continued)
Pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted under Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 12b-1, the Fund and Reich & Tang  Distributors  L.P. (the Distributor) have
entered into a  Distribution  Agreement and a Shareholder  Servicing  Agreement,
only with  respect  to Class A shares of the Fund.  For its  services  under the
Shareholder  Servicing  Agreement,  the Distributor  receives from the Fund with
respect  only to the Class A shares,  a fee equal to .20% of the Fund's  average
daily net assets.  There were no additional  expenses borne by the Fund pursuant
to the Distribution Plan.

Fees are paid to Directors who are unaffiliated with the Manager on the basis of
$3,000 per annum plus $500 per meeting attended.

Included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Shareholder servicing
and  related  shareholder  expenses"  are fees of  $41,602  paid to Reich & Tang

</TABLE>

4. Sales of Securities.
Accumulated  undistributed  realized losses at July 31, 1998 amounted to $7,898.
This amount  represents tax basis capital losses which may be carried forward to
offset future capital gains. Such losses expire January 31, 2006.

5. Concentration of Credit Risk.

The Fund invests primarily in obligations of political subdivisions of the State
of Connecticut and,  accordingly,  is subject to the credit risk associated with
the non-performance of such issuers.  Approximately 53% of these investments are
further  secured,  as to principal and interest,  by letters of credit issued by
financial  institutions.  The Fund maintains a policy of monitoring its exposure
by  reviewing  the  creditworthiness  of the  issuers,  as  well  as that of the
financial institutions issuing the letters of credit, and by limiting the amount
of holdings with letters of credit from one financial institution.
