This Defined Fund's objective is to provide a substantial level of safety
through investment in a portfolio consisting primarily of long-term compound
interest corporate bonds that are collateralized (the 'Compound Interest
Bonds'). There is no assurance that this objective will be met because it is
subject to the continuing ability of issuers of the Debt Obligations to meet
their principal and interest requirements. Furthermore, the market value of the
underlying Securities, and therefore the value of the Units, will flucutate with
changes in interest rates and other factors. The Securities were issued after
July 18, 1984, as a result of which the interest income (including original
issue discount) will be exempt from U.S. Federal income taxes, including
withholding taxes, for many foreign Holders (see Taxes in Part B).
The collateral backing the Compound Interest Bonds is primarily composed of
mortgage-backed Securities of the GNMA modified pass-through type ('GNMA
Certificates' or 'Ginnie Maes') fully guaranteed as to the payment of principal
and interest by GNMA. The guaranty obligation of GNMA with respect to the GNMA
Certificates will be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
but GNMA does not guarantee payment on the Bonds or on the Units of the Fund, as
such. The Fund is also designed for IRA accounts, Keogh plans and other
tax-deferred retirement programs. Units of the Fund are rated AAA by Standard &
Poor's.
MINIMUM PURCHASE IN INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS: 1,000 UNITS

DEFINED ASSET FUNDSSM is America's oldest and largest family of unit investment
trusts with over $90 billion sponsored since 1970. Each Defined Fund is a
portfolio of preselected securities. The portfolio is divided into 'units'
representing equal shares of the underlying assets. Each unit receives an equal
share of income and principal distributions.
With Defined Asset Funds you know in advance what you are investing in and that
changes in the portfolio are limited. Most defined bond funds pay interest
monthly and repay principal as bonds are called, redeemed, sold or as they
mature. Defined equity funds offer preselected stock portfolios with defined
termination dates.
Your financial advisor can help you select a Defined Fund to meet your personal
investment objectives. Our size and market presence enable us to offer a wide
variety of investments. Defined Funds are available in the following types of
securities: municipal bonds, corporate bonds, government bonds, utility stocks,
growth stocks, even international securities denominated in foreign currencies.
Termination dates are as short as one year or as long as 30 years. Special funds
are available for investors seeking extra features: insured funds, double and
triple tax-free funds, and funds with 'laddered maturities' to help protect
against rising interest rates. Defined Funds are offered by prospectus only.

Amount of Fund Securities on the date of their deposit.
- ------------------------------
*These figures assume a purchase of 1,000 Units. The price of a single
Unit, or any multiple thereof, is calculated simply by dividing the
Public Offering Price per 1,000 Units, above, by 1,000, and multiplying
by the number of Units. The sales charge will be reduced on a graduated
scale in the case of quantity purchases (see Public Offering Price in
Part B). The resulting reduction in the Public Offering Price will
increase the effective return on a Unit.
**For Units purchased or redeemed on the Evaluation Date, accrued
interest is approximately equal to the undistributed net investment
income of the Fund (see Statement of Condition on p. D-2) divided by
the number of outstanding Units, plus accrued interest per Unit to the
expected date of settlement (5 business days after purchase or
redemption). The amount of the cash adjustment which is added is equal
to the cash per Unit held in the Capital Account not allocated to the
purchase of specific Securities (see Public Sale of Units--Public
Offering Price and Redemption in Part B).
***Until principal and interest payments on all other classes of bonds of
an issue are completed, interest accruing on the Compound Interest
Bonds is accrued but not paid. After any payment commencement date,
interest and principal on that Bond will be paid in cash and the
number of new Units created will be reduced correspondingly. Payments
on the Compound Interest Bonds are expected to commence on the dates
set forth under Portfolio.
+On the initial date of Deposit (August 15, 1986) the Principal Amount
of Securities in the Fund was $20,366,045. Cost of Securities is set
forth under Portfolio.
++The Trustee receives annually for its services as Trustee $0.95 per
$1,000 original Principal Amount of Compound Interest Bonds. The
Trustee's Annual Fee and Expenses also includes the Portfolio
Supervision Fee and the Evaluator's Fee set forth herein.
+++The Sponsors also may be reimbursed for their costs of bookkeeping
and administrative services to the Fund. Portfolio supervision fees
deducted in excess of portfolio supervision expenses may be used for
this reimbursement. Additional deductions for this purpose are
currently estimated not to exceed an annual rate of $0.10 per 1,000
Units.

REDUCED REINVESTMENT AND PREPAYMENT RISK--Interest accrues on the
Compound-Interest Bonds but is not paid until their respective Payment
Commencement Dates. After this period, interest and principal are paid
semi-annually to the Fund and distributed monthly to Holders. During the
compounding period, interest continues to accrue at the original rate so that
reinvestment risk is substantially eliminated for Holders who do not elect
automatic liquidation. In that respect, during their compounding period, the
Bonds resemble a zero coupon instrument. Prepayments on the collateral go to pay
the 'fast pay' classes before the Compound Interest Bonds begin to amortize.
Moreover, for Units purchased at a Public Offering Price below the current
principal amount of the Compound Interest Bonds, prepayments on the collateral
increase the actual return on Units.
ESTIMATED RATE TO PROJECTED MATURITY--Estimated Rate to Projected Maturity
of the Compound Interest Bonds is calculated assuming that the mortgages
underlying the collateral for the Compound Interest Bonds are prepaid at the
rate set forth in Footnote (3) of Notes to Portfolio (see Risk Factors--Payment
of the Securities and Life of the Fund--Cash or Accretion Bond Series and Select
Series; Description of the Fund--Income and Estimated Rate to Projected Maturity
in Part B).
RISK FACTORS--The compounding of interest on the Compound Interest Bonds,
without cash payments to Holders for a number of years (even though the
additional Units credited to Holders in respect of the compounding interest may
be liquidated at any time by Holders), may make investment in the Fund
particularly well suited for purchase by Individual Retirement Accounts, Keogh
plans, pension funds and other tax-deferred retirement plans or for investors
who can have taxable income attributed to them in advance of the receipt of the
cash attributable to such income. In addition, the ability to buy single Units
enables these investors to tailor the dollar amount of their purchases of Units
to take maximum possible advantage of the annual deductions available for
contributions to these plans (see Retirement Plans in Part B).
PRINCIPAL ACCRETION--AUTOMATIC INCREASES IN NUMBER OF UNITS OUTSTANDING.
Principal Accretion of the Fund is derived from the increase semi-annually in
the Accreted Principal Amounts of the Compound Interest Bonds from the Date of
Deposit to their Payment Commencement Dates. On the Date of Deposit, 20,336,045
Units were issued representing, on a one Unit per one dollar basis, undivided
fractional interests in the Principal Amount of $20,336,045 of the Compound
Interest Bonds acquired on that date. To reflect the aggregate accrued interest
which has been added to the principal of the Compound Interest
- ------------------------------
* See Description of Ratings in Part B.
** See Risk Factors--Cash or Accretion Bond Series, Select Series and
GNMA-Collateralized Bond Series in Part B.
+ All of the issuers of the Compound Interest Bonds are limited purpose
corporations organized solely for the purpose of issuing bonds
collateralized by mortgage-backed securities. See Risk Factors--Cash
or Accretion Bond Series, Select Series and GNMA-Collateralized Bond
Series--Limited Assets and Limited Liability in Part B. The collateral
security for each issue will serve as collateral only for that issue.

Bonds (i.e., 'compounded') during the period preceding each Unit Accretion
Distribution Day, the Indenture requires additional Units to be issued ratably
to Holders of record on each Unit Accretion Distribution Day. The additional
Units will be issued based on the same rate of one Unit per one dollar of
aggregate increase in Accreted Principal Amount of the Compound Interest Bonds
since the last Record Day for Unit Accretion Distribution. Additional Units will
not be created as to a Compound Interest Bond after it reaches its Payment
Commencement Date (for estimated Payment Commencement Dates see Portfolio).

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a Unit
Investment Trust. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
(a) Securities are stated at value as determined by the Evaluator based on
bid side evaluations for the securities (see "Redemption - Computation
of Redemption Price Per Unit" in this Prospectus, Part B).
(b) Accrued interest is added to the principal and cost of the
collateralized bonds in accordance with their terms. During April and
October of each year, additional units are issued ratably to Holders
based on one unit per one dollar of aggregate increase in the accreted
principal amount of the collateralized bonds.
(c) The Fund is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for
such taxes is required.
(d) Interest income is recorded as earned.
2. DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund is not presently receiving any distributions of principal or
interest on its holdings of the collateralized bonds in accordance with the
terms of such bonds. Generally, distributions will not be made by the Fund
to its Holders until payments of principal and interest are received on
such bonds; thereafter, distributions will be made each month. Proceeds
from the sale of investment securities in excess of the amount needed for
redemptions of units are distributed periodically. For additional
information, see "Description of the Fund - Life of the Bonds and of the
Fund" in this Prospectus, Part B.
3. NET CAPITAL

less redemption amounts 430,505
Realized loss on securities sold or redeemed
(403,178)
Principal distributions
(516,765)
Unrealized appreciation of investments 515,750

Federal income tax purposes in accordance with the grantor trust rules of
the United States Internal Revenue Code.
At December 31, 1993, the cost of the investment securities for Federal
