RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
The Fund seeks safety of capital and
current monthly income, by investing in
a portfolio of GNMA securities backed by
the full faith and credit of the United
States.
2. WHAT ARE GINNIE MAES?
Ginnie Maes are issued by the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA),
which is a U.S. government corporation.
Ginnie Maes represent underlying
mortgages on one- to four-family houses.
GNMA guarantees the timely monthly
payment of principal and interest on the
mortgages.
3. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
- The Fund plans to hold two issues of
Ginnie Maes with a current aggregate
face amount of $2,775,999. The Fund is a
unit investment trust which means that,
unlike a mutual fund, the Fund's
portfolio is not managed.
- Ginnie Maes are not rated but their
credit quality is comparable to
AAA-rated bonds.
- The securities BUT NOT THE FUND OR THE
UNITS are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States.
- The Portfolio consists of two issues of
Ginnie Maes, issued and guaranteed by
GNMA, a United States government agency:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
- 8.50% Ginnie Maes 63%
maturing
<C> <S> <C>
37%
- 9.50% Ginnie Maes
maturing
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
4. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?
YOU CAN LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE
FUND. THIS CAN HAPPEN FOR VARIOUS
REASONS, INCLUDING:
- Rising interest rates can reduce the
price of your units.
- Assuming no changes in interest rates,
when you sell your units, they will
generally be worth less than your cost
because your cost included a sales fee.
- The Fund will receive early returns of
principal when homeowners pay down their
mortgages sooner than expected. This
happens more often when interest rates
fall. If this happens your income will
decline and you may not be able to
reinvest the money you receive at as high
a yield or as long a maturity.
5. IS THIS FUND APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?
Yes, if you want safety of capital and
current monthly income. You will benefit
from a professionally selected and
supervised portfolio of U.S. government
backed securities.
The Fund is NOT appropriate for you if
you want a speculative investment that
changes to take advantage of market
movements or if you cannot tolerate early
returns of principal.

7. IS THE FUND MANAGED?
Unlike a mutual fund, the Fund is not managed
and securities are not sold because of market
changes. Rather, experienced Defined Asset
Funds financial analysts regularly review the
securities in the Fund. The Fund may sell a
security if certain adverse credit or other
conditions exist.
8. HOW DO I BUY UNITS?
The minimum investment is $250.
You can buy units from any of the Sponsors and
other broker-dealers. The Sponsors are listed
later in this prospectus. Some banks may offer
units for sale through special arrangements
with the Sponsors, although certain legal
restrictions may apply.
UNIT PRICE PER 1,000 UNITS $109.91
(as of September 30, 1999)
Unit price is based on the net asset value of
the Fund plus the up-front sales fee. An amount
equal to any principal cash, as well as net
accrued but undistributed interest on the unit,
is added to the unit price. An independent
evaluator prices the bonds at 3:30 p.m. Eastern
time every business day. Unit price changes
every day with changes in the prices of the
bonds in the Fund.
9. HOW DO I SELL UNITS?
You may sell your units at any time to any
Sponsor or the Trustee for the net asset value
determined at the close of business on the date
of sale. You will not pay any other fee when
you sell your units.
10. HOW ARE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?
The Fund pays income monthly. Interest on the
bonds in this Fund is subject to federal income
taxes for U.S. investors.
You will also receive principal payments when
mortgages are prepaid, when the securities
mature or if they are sold, when the cash
available is more than $5.00 per 1,000 units.
You will be subject to tax on any gain realized
by the Fund on the disposition of securities.
11. WHAT OTHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
REINVESTMENT
You will receive your monthly income in cash
unless you choose to compound your income by
reinvesting in the GNMA Fund Investment
Accumulation Program, Inc. This Program is an
open-end mutual fund with a comparable
investment objective. Income from this program
will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes
for both U.S. and foreign investors. FOR MORE
COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM,
INCLUDING CHARGES AND FEES, ASK THE TRUSTEE FOR
THE PROGRAM'S PROSPECTUS. READ IT CAREFULLY
BEFORE YOU INVEST. THE TRUSTEE MUST RECEIVE
YOUR WRITTEN ELECTION TO REINVEST AT LEAST 10
DAYS BEFORE THE RECORD DAY OF AN INCOME
PAYMENT.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You may exchange units of this Fund for units
of certain other Defined Asset Funds. You may
also exchange into this Fund from certain other
funds. We charge a reduced sales fee on
exchanges.
CHECKWRITING
You may request checkwriting privileges from
the Trustee. Checks must be written for at
least $500, and you may not receive
certificates for your units.
</TABLE>
4
<PAGE>
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT
MONTHLY INCOME
The Fund will pay you regular monthly income. Your monthly income may vary
because of:
- prepayments on the underlying mortgages;
- elimination of one or more securities from the Fund's portfolio because of
redemptions or sales; or
- a change in the Fund's expenses;
Changes in interest rates generally will not affect your monthly income because
the portfolio is fixed.
Along with your monthly income, you will receive your share of any available
principal.
RETURN FIGURES
We cannot predict your actual return, which will vary with unit price, how long
you hold your investment and changes in the portfolio, interest income and
expenses.
ESTIMATED CURRENT RETURN equals the estimated annual cash to be received from
the securities in the Fund less estimated annual Fund expenses, divided by the
Unit Price (including the maximum sales fee):
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Estimated Annual Estimated
Interest Income - Annual Expenses
- -------------------------------------
Unit Price
</TABLE>
ESTIMATED LONG TERM RETURN is a measure of the estimated return over the
estimated life of the Fund. Unlike Estimated Current Return, Estimated Long Term
Return reflects maturities, discounts and premiums of the securities in the
Fund. It is an average of the yields to maturity of the individual securities in
the portfolio, adjusted to reflect the Fund's maximum sales fee and estimated
expenses. We calculate the average yield for the portfolio by weighting each
security's yield by its market value and the time remaining to the call or
maturity date.
Yields on individual securities depend on many factors including general
conditions of the bond markets, the size of a particular offering and the
maturity and quality rating of the particular issues. Yields can vary among
bonds with similar maturities, coupons and ratings.
These return quotations are designed to be comparative rather than predictive.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
You will receive:
- - a monthly statement of income payments and any principal payments;
- - a notice from the Trustee when new securities are deposited in exchange or
substitution for securities originally deposited;
- - an annual report on Fund activity; and
- - annual tax information. THIS WILL ALSO BE SENT TO THE IRS. YOU MUST REPORT THE
AMOUNT OF INTEREST RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR.
You may request:
- - copies of evaluations to enable you to comply with federal and state tax
reporting requirements; and
- - audited financial statements of the Fund.
You may inspect records of Fund transactions at the Trustee's office during
regular business hours.
5
<PAGE>
THE RISKS YOU FACE
INTEREST RATE RISK
Investing involves risks, including the risk that your investment will decline
in value if interest rates rise. Generally, securities with longer maturities
will change in value more than securities with shorter maturities. The mortgages
underlying the Ginnie Maes in the Fund are more likely to be prepaid when
interest rates decline. This would result in early returns of principal to you
and could result in early termination of the Fund. Of course, we cannot predict
how interest rates may change.
PREPAYMENT RISK
You may receive payments of principal sooner than expected if many homeowners
prepay the mortgages that underly the Ginnie Maes. There is no prepayment
protection. Interest payments will also decrease as principal is returned.
REDUCED DIVERSIFICATION RISK
If many investors sell their units, the Fund will have to sell securities. This
could reduce the diversification of your investment and increase your share of
Fund expenses.
LITIGATION RISK
We do not know of any pending litigation that might have a material adverse
effect upon the Fund.
SELLING OR EXCHANGING UNITS
You can sell your units at any time for a price based on net asset value. Your
net asset value is calculated each business day by:
- ADDING the value of the securities, net accrued interest, cash and any other
Fund assets;
- SUBTRACTING accrued but unpaid Fund expenses, unreimbursed Trustee advances,
cash held to buy back units or for distribution to investors and any other
Fund liabilities; and
- DIVIDING the result by the number of outstanding units.
Your net asset value when you sell may be more or less than your cost because of
sales fees, market movements and changes in the portfolio.
SPONSORS" SECONDARY MARKET
While we are not obligated to do so, we will buy back units at net asset value
without any other fee or charge. We may resell the units to other buyers or to
the Trustee. You should consult your financial professional for current market
prices to determine if other broker-dealers or banks are offering higher prices.
We have maintained a secondary market continuously for over 25 years, but we
could discontinue it without prior notice for any business reason.
SELLING UNITS TO THE TRUSTEE
Regardless of whether we maintain a secondary market, you can sell your units to
the Trustee at any time by sending the Trustee a letter (with any outstanding
certificates if you hold Unit certificates). You must properly endorse your
certificates (or execute a written transfer instrument with signatures
guaranteed by an eligible institution). Sometimes, additional documents are
needed such as a trust document, certificate of corporate authority, certificate
of death or appointment as executor, administrator or guardian.
Within seven days after your request and the necessary documents are received,
the Trustee
6
<PAGE>
will mail a check to you. Contact the Trustee for additional information.
As long as we are maintaining a secondary market, the Trustee will sell your
units to us at a price based on net asset value. If there is no secondary
market, the Trustee may sell your units in the over-the-counter market for a
higher price, but it is not obligated to do so. In that case, you will receive
the net proceeds of the sale.
If the Fund does not have cash available to pay you for units you are selling,
the agent for the Sponsors will select securities to be sold. Securities will be
selected based on market and credit factors. These sales could be made at times
when the securities would not otherwise be sold and may result in your receiving
less than the unit par value and also reduce the size and diversity of the Fund.
There could be a delay in paying you for your units:
- if the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
- if the SEC determines that trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted or that an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the
bonds not reasonably practicable; and
- for any other period permitted by SEC order.
EXCHANGE OPTION
You may exchange units of certain Defined Asset Funds for units of this Fund at
a maximum exchange fee of 2.00%. You may exchange units of this Fund for units
of certain other funds at a reduced sales fee if your investment goals change.
To exchange units, you should talk to your financial professional about what
funds are exchangeable, suitable and currently available.
Normally, an exchange is taxable and you must recognize any gain or loss on the
exchange. However, the IRS may try to disallow a loss if the portfolios of the
two funds are not materially different; you should consult your own tax adviser.
We may amend or terminate this exchange option at any time without notice.
HOW THE FUND WORKS
PRICING
The price of a unit includes interest accrued on the securities, less expenses,
from the most recent Record Day up to, but not including, the settlement date,
which is usually three business days after the purchase date of the unit.
A portion of the price of a unit consists of cash so that the Trustee can
provide you with regular monthly income. When you sell your units you will
receive your share of this cash.
EVALUATIONS
An independent Evaluator values the securities on each business day (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays as observed by the New York Stock
Exchange: New Year's Day, Presidents" Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas;
and the following federal holidays: Columbus Day and Veterans Day). Values are
based on current bid or offer prices for the securities or comparable bonds. In
the past, the difference between bid and offer prices of Ginnie Mae securities
of the type in this Fund has ranged between 0.25% and 0.50%.
7
<PAGE>
INCOME
The Trustee credits interest to an Income Account and other receipts to a
Capital Account. The Trustee may establish a Reserve Account by withdrawing from
these accounts amounts it considers appropriate to pay any material liability.
These accounts do not bear interest.
EXPENSES
The Trustee is paid monthly. It also benefits when it holds cash for the Fund in
non-interest bearing accounts. The Trustee may also receive additional amounts:
- to reimburse the Trustee for the Fund's operating expenses;
- for extraordinary services and costs of indemnifying the Trustee and the
Sponsors;
- costs of actions taken to protect the Fund and other legal fees and
expenses;
- expenses for keeping the Fund's registration statement current; and
- Fund termination expenses and any governmental charges.
The Sponsors are currently reimbursed up to 55 CENTS per $1,000 face amount
annually for providing portfolio supervisory, bookkeeping and administrative
services and for any other expenses properly chargeable to the Fund. Legal,
typesetting, electronic filing and regulatory filing fees and expenses
associated with updating the Portfolio's registration statement yearly are also
now chargeable to the Portfolio. While this fee may exceed the amount of these
costs and expenses attributable to this Fund, the total of these fees for all
Series of Defined Asset Funds will not exceed the aggregate amount attributable
to all of these Series for any calendar year. The Fund also pays the Evaluator's
fees.
The Trustee's, Sponsors" and Evaluator's fees may be adjusted for inflation
without investors" approval.
The Sponsors will pay advertising and selling expenses at no charge to the Fund.
If Fund expenses exceed initial estimates, the Fund will owe the excess. The
Trustee has a lien on Fund assets to secure reimbursement of Fund expenses and
may sell bonds if cash is not available.
PORTFOLIO CHANGES
The Sponsors and Trustee are not liable for any default or defect in a security.
Unlike a mutual fund, the portfolio is designed to remain intact and we may keep
securities in the portfolio even if their credit quality declines or other
adverse financial circumstances occur. However, we may sell a security in
certain cases if we believe that certain adverse credit or certain other
conditions exist.
If we maintain a secondary market in units but are unable to sell the units that
we buy in the secondary market, we will redeem units, which will affect the size
and composition of the portfolio. Units offered in the secondary market may not
represent the same face amount of securities that they did originally.
We decide whether or not to offer units for sale that we acquire in the
secondary market after reviewing:
- diversity of the portfolio;
- size of the Fund relative to its original size;
- ratio of Fund expenses to income;
- current and long-term returns;
- degree to which units may be selling at a premium over par; and
- cost of maintaining a current prospectus.
8
<PAGE>
FUND TERMINATION
The Fund will terminate following the stated maturity or sale of the last
security in the portfolio. The Fund may also terminate earlier with the consent
of investors holding 51% of the units or if total assets of the Fund have fallen
below 40% of the face amount of securities deposited. We will decide whether to
terminate the Fund early based on the same factors used in deciding whether or
not to offer units in the secondary market.
When the Fund is about to terminate you will receive a notice, and you will be
unable to sell your units after that time. On or shortly before termination, we
will sell any remaining securities, and you will receive your final
distribution. Any security that cannot be sold at a reasonable price may
continue to be held by the Trustee in a liquidating trust pending its final
sale.
You will pay your share of the expenses associated with termination, including
brokerage costs in selling securities. This may reduce the amount you receive as
your final distribution.
CERTIFICATES
Certificates for units are issued on request. You may transfer certificates by
complying with the requirements for redeeming certificates, described above. You
can replace lost or mutilated certificates by delivering satisfactory indemnity
and paying the associated costs.
TRUST INDENTURE
The Fund is a "unit investment trust' governed by a Trust Indenture, a contract
among the Sponsors, the Trustee and the Evaluator, which sets forth their duties
and obligations and your rights. A copy of the Indenture is available to you on
request to the Trustee. The following summarizes certain provisions of the
Indenture.
The Sponsors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture without your consent:
- to cure ambiguities;
- to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;
- to make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or
- to make other changes determined not to be materially adverse to your best
interest (as determined by the Sponsors).
Investors holding 51% of the units may amend the Indenture. Every investor must
consent to any amendment that changes the 51% requirement. No amendment may
reduce your interest in the Fund without your written consent.
The Trustee may resign by notifying the Sponsors. The Sponsors may remove the
Trustee without your consent if:
- it fails to perform its duties and the Sponsors determine that its
replacement is in your best interest; or
- it becomes incapable of acting or bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by
public authorities.
Investors holding 51% of the units may remove the Trustee. The Evaluator may
resign or be removed by the Sponsors and the Trustee without the consent of
investors. The resignation or removal of either becomes effective when a
successor accepts appointment. The Sponsors will try to appoint a successor
promptly; however, if no successor has accepted within 30 days after notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee or Evaluator may petition a court to appoint
a successor.
9
<PAGE>
Any Sponsor may resign as long as one Sponsor with a net worth of $2 million
remains and agrees to the resignation. The remaining Sponsors and the Trustee
may appoint a replacement. If there is only one Sponsor and it fails to perform
its duties or becomes bankrupt the Trustee may:
- remove it and appoint a replacement Sponsor;
- liquidate the Fund; or
- continue to act as Trustee without a Sponsor.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acts as agent for the
Sponsors.
The Trust Indenture contains customary provisions limiting the liability of the
Trustee, the Sponsors and the Evaluator.
LEGAL OPINION
Davis Polk & Wardwell, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as
special counsel for the Sponsors, has given an opinion that the units are
validly issued.
AUDITORS
Deloitte & Touche LLP, 2 World Financial Center, New York, New York 10281,
independent accountants, audited the Statement of Condition included in this
prospectus.
SPONSORS
The Sponsors are:
MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INCORPORATED (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.)

Each Sponsor is a Delaware corporation and it, or its predecessor, has acted as
sponsor to many unit investment trusts. As a registered broker-dealer each
Sponsor buys and sells securities (including investment company shares) for
others (including investment companies) and participates as an underwriter in
various selling groups.
TRUSTEE
The Chase Manhattan Bank, Unit Investment Trust Departament, 4 New York
Plaza--6th Floor, New York, New York 10004, is the Trustee. It is supervised by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and New York State banking authorities.
UNDERWRITERS" AND SPONSORS" PROFITS
Underwriters receive sales charges when they sell units. The Sponsors also
realized a profit
10
<PAGE>
or loss on the initial deposit of the securities. Any cash made available by you
to the Sponsors before the settlement date for those units may be used in the
Sponsors" businesses to the extent permitted by federal law and may benefit the
Sponsors.
In maintaining a secondary market, the Sponsors will also realize profits or
sustain losses in the amount of any difference between the prices at which they
buy units and the prices at which they resell or redeem them.
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
The Sponsors do not intend to qualify units for sale in any foreign countries.
This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell units in any country where
units cannot lawfully be sold.
CODE OF ETHICS
Merrill Lynch, as agent for the Sponsors, has adopted a code of ethics requiring
preclearance and reporting of personal securities transactions by its employees
with access to information on portfolio transactions. The goal of the code is to
prevent fraud, deception or misconduct against the Fund and to provide
reasonable standards of conduct.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many computer systems were designed in such a way that they may be unable to
distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900 (commonly known as the 'Year
2000 Problem'). We do not expect that the computer system changes necessary to
prepare for the Year 2000 will cause any major operational difficulties for the
Fund. The Year 2000 Problem may adversely affect the issuers of the bonds
contained in the Portfolio, but we cannot predict whether any impact will be
material to the Fund as a whole.
TAXES
The following summary describes some of the important income tax consequences of
holding units. It assumes that you are not a dealer, financial institution,
insurance company or other investor with special circumstances. You should
consult your own tax adviser about your particular circumstances.
In the opinion of our counsel, under existing law:
GENERAL TREATMENT OF THE FUND AND YOUR INVESTMENT
The Fund will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and
you will be considered to own directly your share of each security in the Fund.
GAIN OR LOSS UPON DISPOSITION
When all or part of your share of a security is disposed of (for example, when
the Fund sells, exchanges or redeems a security or when you sell or exchange
your units), you will generally recognize capital gain or loss. Your gain,
however, will generally be ordinary income to the extent of any accrued "market
discount'. Generally you will have market discount to the extent that your basis
in a security when you purchase a unit is less than its stated redemption price
at maturity (or, if it is an original issue discount security, the issue price
increased by original issue discount that has accrued on the security before
your purchase). You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.
If your net long-term capital gains exceed your net short-term capital losses,
the excess may be subject to tax at a lower rate than ordinary income. Any
capital gain from the Fund will be long-term if you are considered to have held
your investment on each security for
11
<PAGE>
more than one year and short-term otherwise. Because the deductibility of
capital losses is subject to limitations, you may not be able to deduct all of
your capital losses. You should consult your tax advisor in this regard.
YOUR BASIS IN THE SECURITIES
Your aggregate basis in the securities will be equal to the cost of your units,
including any sales charges and the organizational expenses you pay, adjusted to
reflect any accruals of 'original issue discount," "acquisition premium' and
"bond premium'. You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.
EXPENSES
If you are an individual who itemizes deductions, you may deduct your share of
Fund expenses, but only to the extent that such amount, together with your other
miscellaneous deductions, exceeds 2% of your adjusted gross income. Your ability
to deduct Fund expenses will be limited further if your adjusted gross income
exceeds a specified amount (for currently, $126,600 or $63,300 for a married
person filing separately).
FOREIGN INVESTORS
If you are a foreign investor and you are not engaged in a U.S. trade or
business, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax,
including withholding tax, on the interest or gain on a security issued after
July 18, 1984 if you meet certain requirements, including the certification of
foreign status and other matters. You should consult your tax adviser about the
possible application of federal, state and local, and foreign taxes.
RETIREMENT PLANS
You may wish to purchase units for an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or
other retirement plan. Generally, capital gains and income received in each of
these plans are exempt from federal taxation. All distributions from such plans
are generally treated as ordinary inocme but may, in some cases, be eligible for
tax-deferred rollover treatment. You should consult your attorney or tax adviser
about the specific tax rules relating to these plans are offered by brokerage
firms, including the Sponsors of this Fund, and other financial institutions.
Fees and charges with respect to such plans may vary.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
You can receive at no cost supplemental information about the Fund by calling
the Trustee. The supplemental information includes more detailed risk disclosure
about the Ginnie Maes that may be in the Fund's portfolio and general
information about the structure and operation of the Fund. The supplemental
information is also available from the SEC.
