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'), guaranteed FNMA mortgage pass-through
certificates ('FNMA Certificates' or 'Fannie Maes') or FHLMC Mortgage
Participation Certificates ('FHLMC Certificates' or 'Freddie Macs'), fully
guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC.
The guaranty obligation of GNMA with respect to the GNMA Certificates is backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States, while the guaranty
obligations of FNMA with respect to the FNMA Certificates and FHLMC with respect
to the FHLMC Certificates are obligations of FNMA and FHLMC only (limited by
FNMA's and FHLMC's credit capabilities) and are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States or any other governmental entity. Neither GNMA, FNMA
nor FHLMC guarantees 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.

MINIMUM VALUE OF FUND
    Trust may be terminated if value of Fund is less than 40% of the original

    Evaluation Date, the value of the Fund is 23% of the original Principal
    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. Therefore, until the first payment
          commencement date of any Bond, the number of new Units created on each
          accretion date will increase because of compounding of this interest.
          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 have commenced on 2 of the Compound
          Interest Bonds.
        +On the initial date of Deposit (December 18, 1986) the Principal Amount
         of Securities in the Fund was $16,542,045. 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.

          or Accretion Bond Series, Select Series and GNMA-Collateralized Bond

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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) Subsequent to December 19, 1986, accrued interest is added to the
principal and cost of the collateralized bonds in accordance with
their terms.  On April 1 and October 1 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 interest 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 has received distributions of principal or interest on some of its
holdings of the collateralized bonds.  Distributions are made by the Fund
to its Holders only when payments of principal and interest are received on
such bonds.  Proceeds from the sale of investment securities in excess of
the amount needed for redemptions of units are distributed periodically.
For additional information, see "Risk Factors - Cash or Accretion Bond
Series, Select Series and GNMA - Collateralized Bond Series" in this
Prospectus, Part B.

Net capital applicable to Holders                               $3,814,944

4.  INCOME TAXES

    All Fund items of income received, accretion of original issue discount on
the collateralized bonds, expenses paid, and realized gains and losses on
securities sold are attributable to the Certificateholders, on a pro rata
basis, for Federal income tax purposes in accordance with the grantor trust
rules of the United States Internal Revenue Code.

    At March 31, 1994, the cost of the investment securities for Federal income
tax purposes was approximately equivalent to the adjusted cost as shown in
the Fund's portfolio.
