                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    See the body of the Prospectus for more  information on the topics discussed
in this summary.

THE FUNDS:  This Prospectus  describes two mutual funds:  Landmark  National Tax
Free Income Fund and Landmark  New York Tax Free Income Fund.  Each Fund has its
own investment  objectives  and policies.  There can be no assurance that either
Fund will achieve its objectives.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES:
    LANDMARK  NATIONAL TAX FREE INCOME FUND.  To generate high levels of current
income  exempt  from  federal  income  taxes  and to  preserve  the value of its
shareholders'  investment.  The Fund invests primarily in municipal  obligations
that pay interest that is exempt from federal income taxes.

    LANDMARK NEW YORK TAX FREE INCOME FUND.  To generate  high levels of current
income  exempt from federal,  New York State and New York City  personal  income
taxes  and to  preserve  the  value of its  shareholders'  investment.  The Fund
invests primarily in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from
federal, New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

INVESTMENT  ADVISER  AND  DISTRIBUTOR:   Citibank,   N.A.   ("Citibank"  or  the
"Adviser"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Citicorp,  is the investment adviser.
Citibank and its  affiliates  manage more than $73 billion in assets  worldwide.
The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer  Services,  Inc. ("LFBDS" or the "Distributor")
is the distributor of shares of each Fund. See "Management."

PURCHASES  AND  REDEMPTIONS:  Customers  of  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  may
purchase and redeem shares of the Funds on any Business Day. See "Purchases" and
"Redemptions."

PRICING:  Investors may select Class A or Class B shares, with different expense
levels and sales  charges  (if  available  through  the  investors'  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents).  See "Classes of Shares,"  "Purchases"  and  "Management  --
Distribution Arrangements."

CLASS A SHARES.  Offered at net asset value plus any  applicable  initial  sales
charge  (maximum  of  4.00% of the  public  offering  price)  and  subject  to a
distribution  fee at the annual  rate of 0.05% of the  average  daily net assets
represented  by the  Class A shares.  Purchases  of $1  million  or more are not
subject to an  initial  sales  charge,  but are  subject  to a 1.00%  contingent
deferred  sales  charge in the  event of  certain  redemptions  within 12 months
following purchase.

    The sales charge on Class A shares may be reduced or eliminated  through the
following programs:
    Letter of Intent
    Right of Accumulation
    Reinstatement Privilege
See "Purchases" and "Redemptions."

CLASS B SHARES.  Offered at net asset value (a maximum contingent deferred sales
charge of 5.00% of the lesser of the shares' net asset  value at  redemption  or
their original purchase price is imposed on certain  redemptions made within six
years of the date of purchase) and subject to a  distribution  fee at the annual
rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets  represented by the Class B shares
and a service fee at the annual  rate of 0.05% of the  average  daily net assets
represented  by the Class B shares.  Class B shares  automatically  convert into
Class A shares (which have a lower distribution fee)  approximately  eight years
after purchase.

EXCHANGES: Shares may be exchanged for shares of the corresponding class of most
other Landmark Funds. See "Exchanges."

DIVIDENDS:  Dividends  are declared and paid monthly for each Fund.  Net capital
gains are distributed annually. See "Dividends and Distributions."

REINVESTMENT:  All  dividends and capital  gains  distributions  may be received
either in cash or in Fund shares of the same class at net asset  value,  subject
to the policies of a shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing Agent. See "Dividends
and Distributions."

WHO SHOULD INVEST:  Each Fund has its own  suitability  considerations  and risk
factors,  as  summarized  below and  described  in more  detail  in  "Investment
Information" and "Risk  Considerations." No single Fund is intended to provide a
complete investment program.

NATIONAL  TAX FREE INCOME  FUND.  The Fund is  designed  for  investors  seeking
current  income that is exempt from federal  income taxes.  Investors  should be
willing to accept fluctuation in the price of shares of the Fund.

NEW YORK TAX FREE  INCOME  FUND.  The Fund is  designed  for  investors  seeking
current  income  that is exempt from  federal,  New York State and New York City
personal income taxes.  Investors should be willing to accept fluctuation in the
price of  shares  of the Fund and to bear the  increased  risk of an  investment
portfolio  that is  concentrated  in  obligations  of New York and its political
subdivisions.

RISK  FACTORS:  There can be no  assurance  that  either  Fund will  achieve its
investment  objectives.  Each  Fund's net asset  value will  fluctuate  based on
changes in the values of the underlying  portfolio  securities.  As a result, an
investor's  shares may be worth more or less at  redemption  than at the time of
purchase.

    The  value of fixed  income  securities,  including  municipal  obligations,
generally  goes down when  interest  rates go up,  and vice  versa.  Changes  in
interest rates will generally  cause bigger changes in the prices of longer-term
securities than in the prices of shorter-term securities.

    Prices of fixed income  securities  also  fluctuate  based on changes in the
actual and perceived creditworthiness of issuers. Bond ratings take into account
the likelihood that each issuer will be able to make its required payments,  and
the prices of lower rated  securities  often fluctuate more than those of higher
rated securities.  Also, it is possible that some issuers will be unable to make
required payments on fixed income securities held by each Fund.

    Each Fund is a non-diversified mutual fund, which means that it may invest a
relatively  high percentage of its assets in the obligations of a limited number
of issuers.  The New York Tax Free Income Fund's  investments  are, under normal
circumstances,  concentrated in municipal  obligations of New York issuers. As a
result,  each Fund is more susceptible than more diversified funds to any single
economic,  political or regulatory occurrence,  and the New York Tax Free Income
Fund is particularly  susceptible to occurrences affecting New York issuers. New
York  State,  New York  City and other New York  governmental  authorities  have
experienced financial  difficulties,  and as a result the credit ratings of some
of their municipal obligations have been downgraded.

    Certain investment practices may also entail special risks. Investors should
read "Risk Considerations" for more information about risk factors.

EXPENSE SUMMARY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  table  summarizes  estimated  shareholder  transaction and annual
operating expenses for Class A and B shares of each Fund.*

Total Fund Operating Expenses(4) ...   0.80%      1.55%     0.80%     1.55%

(1) Purchases of $1 million or more are not subject to an initial  sales charge;
    however, a contingent  deferred sales charge of 1.00% will be imposed in the
    event of  certain  redemptions  within 12  months  following  purchase.  See
    "Classes of Shares" and "Purchases."
(2) After fee waivers.
(3) 12b-1   distribution   fees  are   asset-based   sales  charges.   Long-term
    shareholders  in a Fund could pay more in sales  charges  than the  economic
    equivalent of the maximum  front-end sales charges permitted by the National
    Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc. The figures for the Class B shares
    include  service fees,  which are payable at the annual rate of 0.05% of the
    average daily net assets represented by Class B shares.
(4) Absent fee waivers,  "Total Fund Operating  Expenses"  would have been 0.95%
    for Class A shares  and 1.70%  for Class B shares of the  National  Tax Free
    Income Fund and 1.32% for Class A shares and 2.22% for Class B shares of the
    New York Tax Free Income Fund.

*This table is intended to assist investors in  understanding  the various costs
 and  expenses  that a  shareholder  of a Fund will  bear,  either  directly  or
 indirectly.  Because the National Tax Free Income Fund is newly  organized  and
 Class B shares were not offered  during the most recent  fiscal year of the New
 York Tax Free Income Fund,  Other Operating  Expenses in the table with respect
 to all shares of the  National  Tax Free  Income Fund and Class B shares of the
 New York Tax Free  Income Fund are based on  estimated  amounts for the current
 fiscal year.  There can be no assurance  that the fee waivers  reflected in the
 table will continue at their present levels.  For more information on costs and
 expenses, see "Management" and "General Information -- Expenses."

EXAMPLE:  A shareholder would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment,
assuming,  except  as  otherwise  noted,  redemption  at the end of each  period
indicated below:



                                                        ONE YEAR     THREE YEARS

Class A shares(1) ....................................    $48           $65
Class B shares:
    Assuming complete redemption at end of period(2)..    $66           $79
    Assuming no redemption ...........................    $16           $49


                                   ONE YEAR  THREE YEARS   FIVE YEARS  TEN YEARS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW YORK TAX FREE INCOME FUND  
  Class A shares(1) ............     $48         $65          $ 83        $135
  Class B shares:
    Assuming complete redemption
      at end of period(2)(3) ...     $66         $79          $104        $164
    Assuming no redemption(3) ..     $16         $49          $ 84        $164

- ----------
(1) Assumes  deduction at the time of purchase of the maximum  4.00% sales load.

(2) Assumes  deduction  at the  time of  redemption  of the  maximum  applicable
    contingent deferred sales charge.

(3) Ten-year  figures  assume  conversion  of Class B  shares  to Class A shares
    approximately eight years after purchase.

The Example  assumes that all  dividends  are  reinvested  and reflects  certain
voluntary fee waivers.  If waivers were not in place, the amounts in the example
would be $53 and $80 for  National  Tax Free Income Fund -- Class A; $72 and $99
for National Tax Free Income Fund -- Class B (assuming  complete  redemption  at
the end of each  period);  $53,  $80, $109 and $193 for New York Tax Free Income
Fund -- Class A; and $73,  $99,  $139 and $221 for New York Tax Free Income Fund
- -- Class B (assuming  complete  redemption at the end of each  period).  For the
Class A shares of the New York Tax Free  Income Fund  expenses  are based on the
Fund's  fiscal year ended  December 31, 1994,  and for the Class A shares of the
National  Tax Free  Income Fund  expenses  are  estimated  since the Fund had no
assets  during the fiscal year ended  December  31,  1994.  Expenses for Class B
shares are estimated,  because Class B shares were not offered during the fiscal
year ended  December 31, 1994.  The assumption of a 5% annual return is required
by the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  for all mutual funds,  and is not a
prediction  of  any  Fund's  future  performance.  THE  EXAMPLE  SHOULD  NOT  BE
CONSIDERED  A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR FUTURE  EXPENSES  OF ANY FUND.  ACTUAL
EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following table provides condensed financial  information about the New York
Tax Free Income Fund for the periods  indicated.  The  National  Tax Free Income
Fund is newly organized and therefore has not issued financial  statements.  The
information  below should be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements
appearing in the New York Tax Free Income Fund's Annual Report to  Shareholders,
which is incorporated  by reference in the Statement of Additional  Information.
The  financial  statements  and  notes,  as well as the table  below,  have been
audited by  Deloitte & Touche LLP,  independent  certified  public  accountants,
whose report is included in the New York Tax Free Income Fund's  Annual  Report.

                            INVESTMENT INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES: The investment objectives of the NATIONAL TAX FREE INCOME
FUND are to generate high levels of current  income  exempt from federal  income
taxes and to preserve the value of its shareholders' investment.

    The  investment  objectives  of the NEW  YORK TAX  FREE  INCOME  FUND are to
generate high levels of current  income exempt from federal,  New York State and
New  York  City  personal  income  taxes  and  to  preserve  the  value  of  its
shareholders' investment.

    The  investment  objectives  of each  Fund may be  changed  by its  Trustees
without approval by that Fund's  shareholders,  but  shareholders  will be given
written  notice at least 30 days  before any change is  implemented.  Of course,
there  can  be no  assurance  that  either  Fund  will  achieve  its  investment
objectives.

INVESTMENT  POLICIES:  The NATIONAL TAX FREE INCOME FUND seeks its objectives by
investing in debt securities consisting primarily of obligations issued by state
and municipal  governments and by public authorities  ("Municipal  Obligations")
that pay interest that is exempt from federal income taxes including the federal
alternative  minimum tax  ("tax-exempt  Municipal  Obligations").  Under  normal
circumstances  at least 80% of the Fund's  assets will be invested in tax-exempt
Municipal Obligations.

    The National Tax Free Income Fund may invest in short-term  debt  securities
that pay  interest  that is subject to federal  income  taxes,  including  those
issued by companies,  the U.S.  Government  or agencies of the U.S.  Government.
Except  for  temporary  defensive  purposes  no more than 20% of the  Fund's net
assets will be invested in debt securities that pay interest  subject to federal
income tax.

    The NEW YORK TAX FREE  INCOME  FUND seeks its  objectives  by  investing  in
Municipal  Obligations  that pay interest that is exempt from federal,  New York
State and New York City personal income taxes including the federal  alternative
minimum  tax  ("triple   tax-exempt   Municipal   Obligations").   Under  normal
circumstances  at least 80% of the  Fund's  assets  will be  invested  in triple
tax-exempt Municipal Obligations.

    The New York Tax Free Income Fund may invest in Municipal Obligations paying
interest that is exempt from federal  income taxes but subject to New York State
and New York City personal income taxes.  The Fund may also invest in short-term
debt securities that pay interest that is subject to federal, New York State and
New York City personal income taxes,  including  those issued by companies,  the
U.S.  Government  or  agencies  of the U.S.  Government.  Except  for  temporary
defensive purposes no more than 20% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in
debt  securities  that pay  interest  subject to federal  income tax or New York
State or New York City personal income taxes.

    Municipal  Obligations  include municipal bonds,  notes and commercial paper
issued  by  the  states,  territories  and  possessions  of  the  United  States
(including the District of Columbia) and their political subdivisions,  agencies
and instrumentalities.  The Funds may invest both in "general obligation" bonds,
which are backed by the full faith,  credit and taxing power of the issuer,  and
in "revenue"  bonds,  which are payable  only from the  revenues  generated by a
specific project or from another specific revenue source.

    Each Fund will  invest only in cash and in debt  securities  that either (i)
carry at least a Baa rating from  Moody's  Investor's  Service,  Inc.,  or a BBB
rating from Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, or are considered by the Adviser to
be of equivalent  quality,  (ii) are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or (iii) are obligations (including
certificates  of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances  and repurchase  agreements) of
banks with at least $1 billion of assets.

    Securities  rated Baa or BBB,  while  considered  "investment  grade,"  have
speculative   characteristics  and  changes  in  economic  conditions  or  other
circumstances  are more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to make principal
and  interest  payments  on bonds  rated Baa or BBB than is the case for  higher
grade  securities.  Investors  should  review  Appendix  B to the  Statement  of
Additional Information for a description of credit ratings.

    Under normal market conditions,  the weighted average maturity of securities
held by each Fund is in a  long-term  range  (between  10 and 30  years).  While
long-term debt  securities tend to generate a higher rate of current income than
short-term debt  securities,  the prices of long-term debt securities  generally
fluctuate  more in response to interest  rate changes and other factors than the
prices of short-term debt securities.  Therefore,  investors in each Fund should
be willing to accept fluctuation in the price of shares of the Fund.

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT POLICIES:
    TEMPORARY  INVESTMENTS.   During  periods  of  unusual  economic  or  market
conditions  or for  temporary  defensive  purposes or  liquidity,  each Fund may
invest without limit in cash and in U.S.  dollar-denominated  high quality money
market and short-term instruments. These investments may result in a lower yield
than would be available from investments with a lower quality or longer term and
the interest on these investments may be subject to tax.

    OTHER  PERMITTED  INVESTMENTS.  For more  information  regarding  the Funds'
permitted  investments and investment  practices,  see the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments  and Investment  Practices on p. 21. The Funds will not  necessarily
invest or engage in each of the  investments  and  investment  practices  in the
Appendix but reserve the right to do so.

    INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  The Statement of Additional Information contains a
list of specific investment restrictions which govern the investment policies of
the Funds,  including a limitation that each Fund may borrow money from banks in
an amount not to exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund's  net assets for  extraordinary  or
emergency  purposes  (e.g.,  to meet  redemption  requests).  Certain  of  these
specific restrictions may not be changed without shareholder approval. Except as
otherwise  indicated,  the Funds'  investment  objectives  and  policies  may be
changed  without  shareholder  approval.  If a percentage or rating  restriction
(other  than a  restriction  as to  borrowing)  is  adhered  to at the  time  an
investment  is made,  a later  change in  percentage  or rating  resulting  from
changes in a Fund's securities will not be a violation of policy.

    PORTFOLIO  TURNOVER.  Securities  of each  Fund  will be sold  whenever  the
Adviser  believes it is appropriate  to do so in light of the Fund's  investment
objectives,  without regard to the length of time a particular security may have
been held. The turnover rate for each Fund is expected to be approximately  150%
annually.  For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1993 and December 31, 1994, the
turnover  rate  for the New  York Tax  Free  Income  Fund  was  149%  and  150%,
respectively, and for the four month period ended December 31, 1993 the turnover
rate was 46%. The amount of transaction costs and realization of taxable capital
gains will tend to increase as the level of portfolio activity increases.

    BROKERAGE  TRANSACTIONS.  The primary  consideration  in placing each Fund's
security  transactions  with  broker-dealers  for  execution  is to  obtain  and
maintain the  availability of execution at the most favorable  prices and in the
most effective manner possible.

                             RISK CONSIDERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The risks of  investing in each Fund vary  depending  upon the nature of the
securities held, and the investment practices employed,  on its behalf.  Certain
of these risks are described below.

    CHANGES IN NET ASSET VALUE. Each Fund's net asset value will fluctuate based
on changes in the values of the underlying portfolio securities. This means that
an investor's shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at the time of
purchase.

    INTEREST  RATE  RISK.  The  value  of  fixed  income  securities,  including
Municipal  Obligations,  generally goes down when interest rates go up, and vice
versa.  Furthermore,  the value of fixed  income  securities  may vary  based on
anticipated or potential  changes in interest  rates.  Changes in interest rates
will generally cause bigger changes in the prices of longer-term securities than
in the prices of shorter-term securities.

    CREDIT RISK. Prices of fixed income securities fluctuate based on changes in
the actual and  perceived  creditworthiness  of issuers.  Bond ratings take into
account  the  likelihood  that an  issuer  will be  able  to make  its  required
payments,  and the prices of lower rated  securities  often  fluctuate more than
those of higher  rated  securities.  It is possible  that some  issuers  will be
unable to make required payments on fixed income securities held by a Fund.

    "REVENUE"  OBLIGATIONS.  Each Fund may invest in Municipal  Obligations that
are payable only from the  revenues  generated  from a specific  project or from
another  specific  revenue  source.  Each Fund may  invest  more than 25% of its
assets in (i) industrial  revenue bonds issued to finance  industrial  projects,
and (ii) Municipal  Obligations issued to finance housing,  electrical utilities
and hospitals  (although each Fund may not invest more than 25% of its assets at
any time in debt securities financing any one of housing,  electrical utilities,
or hospitals,  considered  as three  separate  categories).  Projects may suffer
construction  delays,  increased  costs  or  reduced  revenues  as a  result  of
political,  regulatory, economic and other factors. As a result projects may not
generate  sufficient  revenues  to  pay  principal  and  interest  on  Municipal
Obligations held by a Fund.

    NON-DIVERSIFIED  FUNDS.  Each Fund is a  non-diversified  mutual fund.  This
means that it is not subject to any statutory  restrictions under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")  limiting the  investment  of its assets in
one or relatively few issuers (although certain diversification requirements are
imposed by the Internal  Revenue Code).  Since each Fund may invest a relatively
high percentage of its assets in the obligations of a limited number of issuers,
the value of shares of each Fund may be more susceptible to any single economic,
political  or  regulatory  occurrence  than the value of  shares of  diversified
mutual  funds  would  be.  The New  York Tax Free  Income  Fund is  particularly
susceptible to occurrences affecting New York issuers. Each Fund also may invest
25% or more of its assets in securities  the issuers of which are located in the
same  state or the  interest  on which is paid from  revenues  of  similar  type
projects  or that are  otherwise  related in such a way that a single  economic,
business or political  development  or change  affecting  one of the  securities
would also affect other  securities.  Investors should consider the greater risk
inherent in these policies when compared with more diversified mutual funds.

    NEW YORK  SECURITIES.  The New York Tax Free Income Fund's  investments are,
under normal  circumstances,  concentrated in Municipal  Obligations of New York
issuers.  Payment of interest and principal of these  securities is dependent on
the continuing ability of issuers in New York to meet their obligations.

    Investors in the New York Tax Free Income Fund should consider carefully the
special risks  inherent in investing in New York  Municipal  Obligations.  These
risks  result from the  financial  condition  of New York State,  certain of its
public bodies and  municipalities,  and New York City.  Beginning in early 1975,
New York State,  New York City and other State entities faced serious  financial
difficulties  which  jeopardized  the credit standing and impaired the borrowing
abilities of such entities and  contributed to high interest rates on, and lower
market prices for, debt obligations issued by them. These financial difficulties
caused  the  credit  ratings of certain  New York  Municipal  Obligations  to be
downgraded by ratings agencies. A recurrence of such financial difficulties or a
failure of certain  financial  recovery  programs  could  result in  defaults or
declines in the market values of various New York Municipal Obligations in which
the New York Tax Free Fund may  invest.  There can be no  assurance  that credit
ratings  on  obligations  of New York  State,  New York  City and other New York
governmental authorities will not be downgraded further.  Investors in this Fund
should consider the greater risks inherent in the Fund's  concentration in these
securities  when compared with the safety that comes with a less  geographically
concentrated  investment  portfolio.  Further  information  is set  forth in the
Statement of Additional Information.

    INVESTMENT  PRACTICES.  Certain of the investment practices employed for the
Funds may entail certain risks.  See the Appendix -- Permitted  Investments  and
Investment Practices on p.21.

                             VALUATION OF SHARES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Net asset value per share of each class of shares of each Fund is determined
each day the New York Stock  Exchange  is open for trading (a  "Business  Day").
This  determination  is made once each day as of the close of regular trading on
the Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern time) by adding the market value of
all  securities  and  other  assets  attributable  to a class  of a  Fund,  then
subtracting the liabilities  charged to the class,  and then dividing the result
by the number of outstanding  shares of the class.  Per share net asset value of
each class of each Fund's  shares may differ  because Class B shares bear higher
expenses  than  Class A shares.  The net asset  value per share of each class of
shares is effective for orders received and accepted by the Distributor prior to
its calculation.

    Portfolio  securities and other assets are valued  primarily on the basis of
market quotations,  or if quotations are not available,  by a method believed to
accurately reflect fair value.


                              CLASSES OF SHARES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIFFERENCES  AMONG  THE  CLASSES:  Class  A and B  shares  of a  Fund  represent
interests in the same mutual fund. The primary  distinctions between the classes
of each Fund's shares are their  initial and  contingent  deferred  sales charge
structures and their ongoing  expenses,  including  service fees and asset-based
sales charges in the form of distribution fees. These differences are summarized
in the following table. Each class has distinct advantages and disadvantages for
different  investors,  and  investors may choose the class that best suits their
circumstances and objectives.

                                 ANNUAL 12B-1 FEES
                                (AS A PERCENTAGE OF
                                   AVERAGE DAILY
            SALES CHARGE            NET ASSETS)          OTHER INFORMATION
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASS A  Maximum initial sales    Distribution fee    Initial sales charge
           charge of 4.00%           of 0.05%           waived or reduced for

           offering price                               contingent deferred
                                                        sales charge may apply
                                                        in certain instances
                                                        where the initial sales
                                                        charge is waived

CLASS B  Maximum contingent       Distribution fee    Shares convert to Class A
           deferred sales charge    of 0.75%.           shares approximately
           of 5.00% of the          Service fee of      eight years after
           lesser of redemption     0.05%               issuance
           proceeds or original
           purchase price;
           declines to zero
           after six years
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES:  In deciding which class of
shares to purchase, investors should consider the cost of sales charges together
with the cost of the ongoing annual  expenses  described  below,  as well as any
other relevant facts and circumstances.

    SALES  CHARGES.  Class A shares are sold at net asset  value plus an initial
sales  charge  of up to 4.00% of the  public  offering  price  (except  that for
purchases  of $1  million  or more,  no initial  sales  charge is imposed  and a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge  may be  imposed  instead).  Because of this
initial  sales  charge,  not all of a Class A  shareholder's  purchase  price is
invested in a Fund. Class B shares are sold with no initial sales charge,  but a
contingent  deferred  sales charge (up to 5.00% of the lesser of the shares' net
asset  value  at  redemption  or  their  original  purchase  price)  applies  to
redemptions  made within six years of  purchase.  Thus,  the entire  amount of a
Class B shareholder's purchase price is immediately invested in a Fund.

    WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS OF SALES CHARGES.  Class A share purchases  totalling
at least $100,000 and Class A share  purchases made under a Fund's reduced sales
charge plan may be made at a reduced sales charge.  In considering  the combined
cost of sales charges and ongoing annual  expenses,  investors  should take into
account  any  reduced  sales  charges  on Class A shares  for which  they may be
eligible.

    The entire  initial  sales  charge on Class A shares is waived  for  certain
eligible  purchasers.  However,  a 1.00%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is
imposed  on  certain  redemptions  of Class A shares on which no  initial  sales
charge was assessed.  Because Class A shares bear lower ongoing annual  expenses
than Class B shares, in most cases investors  eligible for reduced initial sales
charges should purchase Class A shares.

    The  contingent  deferred  sales  charge may be waived  upon  redemption  of
certain Class B shares. See "Purchases."

    ONGOING ANNUAL EXPENSES. Class A shares pay an annual 12b-1 distribution fee
of 0.05% of  average  daily  net  assets.  Class B shares  pay an  annual  12b-1
distribution  fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and an annual service fee
of 0.05% of average daily net assets represented by Class B shares. Annual 12b-1
distribution  fees are a form of asset-based  sales charge.  An investor  should
consider both ongoing annual  expenses and initial or contingent  deferred sales
charges in estimating  the costs of investing in the  different  classes of Fund
shares over various time periods.

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES: A shareholder's  Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares in the same Fund  approximately  eight years after the
date of  issuance,  together  with a pro  rata  portion  of all  Class B  shares
representing  dividends  and  other  distributions  paid in  additional  Class B
shares.  The  conversion  will be effected at the  relative net asset values per
share of the two  classes  on the first  Business  Day of the month in which the
eighth  anniversary  of  the  issuance  of  the  Class  B  shares  occurs.  If a
shareholder  effects one or more exchanges  among Class B shares of the Landmark
Funds  during the  eight-year  period,  the  holding  periods  for the shares so
exchanged will be counted toward the  eight-year  period.  Because the per share
net  asset  value of the Class A shares  may be higher  than that of the Class B
shares at the time of conversion, a shareholder may receive fewer Class A shares
than the number of Class B shares  converted,  although the dollar value will be
the same. See "Valuation of Shares." The conversion of Class B shares to Class A
shares is subject to the continuing  availability  of a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel that the conversion will not constitute
a taxable event for federal tax purposes.  There can be no assurance that such a
ruling or opinion will be  available,  and the  conversion  of Class B shares to
Class A shares  will not occur if such  ruling or opinion is not  available.  In
that event,  Class B shares would continue to be subject to higher expenses than
Class A shares for an indefinite period.

OTHER   INFORMATION:   See   "Purchases,"   "Redemptions"   and  "Management  --
Distribution  Arrangements"  for a more complete  description of the initial and
contingent deferred sales charges and distribution fees for each class of shares
of each Fund.  By  purchasing  shares an investor  agrees to the  imposition  of
initial and deferred sales charges as described in this Prospectus.

                                  PURCHASES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Each Fund offers two classes of shares, Class A and B shares, with different
expense levels and sales charges.  See "Classes of Shares" for more information.
WHEN PLACING PURCHASE ORDERS,  INVESTORS SHOULD SPECIFY WHETHER THE ORDER IS FOR
CLASS A OR CLASS B SHARES.  ALL SHARE  PURCHASE  ORDERS  THAT FAIL TO  SPECIFY A
CLASS AUTOMATICALLY WILL BE INVESTED IN CLASS A SHARES.

    Shares of the Funds are offered  continuously  and may be  purchased  on any
Business Day at the public  offering  price either  through a securities  broker
which has a sales  agreement  with the  Distributor  or  through a bank or other
financial institution which has an agency agreement with the Distributor. Such a
bank or financial  institution  will receive  transaction fees that are equal to
the  commissions  paid to  securities  brokers.  Shares  of the  Funds are being
offered  exclusively  to customers of a  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent (i.e.,  a
financial institution, such as a federal or state-chartered bank, trust company,
savings and loan association or savings bank, or a securities  broker,  that has
entered into a shareholder servicing agreement concerning a Fund). An investor's
Shareholder  Servicing Agent may not make available both classes of shares.  The
public offering price is the net asset value next  determined  after an order is
transmitted to and accepted by the Distributor, plus any applicable sales charge
for Class A shares.  Each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent is required to promptly
forward orders for Fund shares to the Distributor. Each Fund and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any  purchase  order and to suspend the  offering of
Fund shares for a period of time.

    Each  shareholder's  account is  established  and  maintained  by his or her
Shareholder  Servicing  Agent,  which will be the  shareholder  of record of the
Fund. Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent may establish its own terms,  conditions
and charges  with  respect to services it offers to its  customers.  Charges for
these services may include fixed annual fees and account  maintenance  fees. The
effect of any such fees will be to reduce  the net return on the  investment  of
customers of that Shareholder Servicing Agent.

    Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  will not  transmit  purchase  orders  to the
Distributor  until they have  received  the  purchase  price in federal or other
immediately  available funds. If Fund shares are purchased by check,  there will
be a delay  (usually  not longer than two  business  days) in  transmitting  the
purchase order until the check is converted into federal funds.

PURCHASING CLASS A SHARES:  INITIAL SALES CHARGE -- CLASS A SHARES.  Each Fund's
public  offering price of Class A shares is the next determined net asset value,
plus any applicable sales charge,  which will vary with the size of the purchase
as shown in the following table:

- -----------------------------------

    SALES CHARGE ELIMINATION -- CLASS A SHARES.  Class A shares of the Funds are
available  without a sales charge  through  exchanges for Class A shares of most
other Landmark Funds. See "Exchanges."  Also, the sales charge does not apply to
Class A shares acquired  through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. Class A shares may be purchased without a sales charge by:


(i)    tax exempt  organizations  under  Section  501(c)(3-13)  of the  Internal
       Revenue Code (the "Code"),

(ii)   trust  accounts  for which  Citibank or any  subsidiary  or  affiliate of
       Citibank  (a  "Citibank   Affiliate")   acts  as  trustee  and  exercises
       discretionary investment management authority,

(iii)  accounts  purchasing  shares  through  the  Private  Client  Division  of
       Citicorp Investment Services,  or through other programs accessed through
       the  Private  Client  Division of Citicorp  Investment  Services,  or the
       private  banking  division  of either  Citibank,  N.A.,  Citibank  FSB or
       Citicorp Trust, N.A.,

(iv)   accounts for which Citibank or any Citibank Affiliate performs investment
       advisory services,

(v)    accounts for which  Citibank or any Citibank  Affiliate  charges fees for
       acting as custodian,

(vi)   trustees of any  investment  company for which  Citibank or any  Citibank
       Affiliate serves as the investment adviser or as a shareholder  servicing
       agent,

(vii)  any  affiliated  person of a Fund,  the  Adviser,  the  Distributor,  the
       Administrator or any Shareholder Servicing Agent,

(viii) shareholder accounts established through a reorganization or similar form
       of business  combination approved by a Fund's Board of Trustees or by the
       Board of Trustees of any other  Landmark  Fund the terms of which entitle
       those  shareholders  to purchase  shares of a Fund or any other  Landmark
       Fund at net asset value without a sales charge,

(ix)   employee benefit plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, including
       salary  reduction  plans  qualified  under  Section  401(k)  of the Code,
       subject  to  such  minimum  requirements  as  may be  established  by the
       Distributor  with  respect  to the  number  of  employees  or  amount  of
       purchase;  currently,  these  criteria  require  that  (a)  the  employer
       establishing  the qualified  plan have at least 50 eligible  employees or
       (b)  the  amount  invested  by  such  qualified  plan in a Fund or in any
       combination of Landmark Funds totals a minimum of $500,000,

(x)    investors  purchasing  $1 million or more of Class A shares.  However,  a
       contingent  deferred sales charge will be imposed on such  investments in
       the event of certain  share  redemptions  within 12 months  following the
       share  purchase,  at the rate of 1.00% of the  lesser of the value of the
       shares  redeemed  (exclusive  of  reinvested  dividends and capital gains
       distributions) or the total cost of such shares. In determining whether a
       contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares is payable, and if so,
       the amount of the  charge,  it is assumed  that shares not subject to the
       contingent deferred sales charge are the first redeemed followed by other
       shares held for the longest period of time. All investments made during a
       calendar  month  will age one month on the last day of the month and each
       subsequent month. Any applicable contingent deferred sales charge will be
       deferred upon an exchange of Class A shares for Class A shares of another
       Landmark  Fund  and  deducted  from the  redemption  proceeds  when  such
       exchanged  shares are  subsequently  redeemed  (assuming  the  contingent
       deferred  sales charge is then  payable).  The holding  period of Class A
       shares so acquired through an exchange will be aggregated with the period
       during  which the  original  Class A shares  were  held.  The  contingent
       deferred  sales  charge on Class A shares  will be waived  under the same
       circumstances  as the contingent  deferred sales charge on Class B shares
       will be  waived.  See  "Sales  Charge  Waivers  -- Class B  Shares."  Any
       applicable  contingent  deferred  sales  charges  will  be  paid  to  the
       Distributor,

(xi)   subject to appropriate documentation, investors where the amount invested
       represents  redemption proceeds from a mutual fund (other than a Landmark
       Fund) if: (i) the redeemed shares were subject to an initial sales charge
       or a deferred sales charge  (whether or not actually  imposed);  and (ii)
       such  redemption  has occurred no more than 90 days prior to the purchase
       of Class A shares of the Fund, or

(xii)  an investor who has a business relationship with an investment consultant
       or other registered representative who joined a broker-dealer which has a
       sales agreement with the Distributor from another  investment firm within
       six months  prior to the date of  purchase by such  investor,  if (a) the
       investor   redeems  shares  of  another  mutual  fund  sold  through  the
       investment  firm that previously  employed that investment  consultant or
       other registered representative,  and either paid an initial sales charge
       or was at some time  subject  to,  but did not  actually  pay, a deferred
       sales charge or redemption fee with respect to the  redemption  proceeds,
       (b) the  redemption  is made within 60 days prior to the  investment in a
       Fund,  and (c) the net asset value of the shares of the Fund sold to that
       investor  without a sales  charge  does not exceed the  proceeds  of such
       redemption.

    REDUCED SALES CHARGE PLANS -- CLASS A SHARES.  An individual who is a member
of a qualified  group may purchase Class A shares of a Fund at the reduced sales
charge  applicable  to the group as a whole.  The sales charge is based upon the
aggregate dollar value of Class A shares previously purchased and still owned by
the group, plus the amount of the purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (i)
has been in existence  for more than six months,  (ii) has a purpose  other than
acquiring Fund shares at a discount,  and (iii) satisfies uniform criteria which
enable  the  Distributor  to  realize   economies  of  scale  in  its  costs  of
distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than ten members,  must be
available to arrange for group meetings between  representatives of the Fund and
the members, must agree to include sales and other materials related to the Fund
in its  publications  and  mailings  to  members  at  reduced  or no cost to the
Distributor,  and must seek to  arrange  for  payroll  deduction  or other  bulk
transmission of investments to the Fund.

    Reduced initial sales charges on Class A shares also may be achieved through
a RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION  or a LETTER OF INTENT.  Under a RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION
eligible  investors  are  permitted to purchase  Class A shares of a Fund at the
public  offering  price  applicable  to the total of (a) the dollar  amount then
being purchased, plus (b) an amount equal to the then-current net asset value or
cost (whichever is higher) of the purchaser's  combined holdings in the Landmark
Funds. The Right of Accumulation may be amended or terminated at any time.

    If an investor anticipates  purchasing $100,000 or more of Class A shares of
a Fund  alone or in  combination  with  Class B shares of the Fund or any of the
classes of other  Landmark  Funds  within a 13-month  period,  the  investor may
obtain such shares at the same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity
were  invested in one lump sum,  subject to the  appointment  of an attorney for
redemptions of shares if the intended purchases are not completed, by completing
a LETTER OF INTENT.  Investors should consult "Determination of Net Asset Value;
Valuation of Securities;  Additional Purchase and Redemption Information" in the
Statement of Additional  Information and their Shareholder  Servicing Agents for
more information about Rights of Accumulation and Letters of Intent.

PURCHASING CLASS B SHARES:  CONTINGENT  DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- CLASS B SHARES.
Each Fund's public  offering price of Class B shares is the next  determined net
asset value, and no initial sales charge is imposed. A contingent deferred sales
charge, however, is imposed upon certain redemptions of Class B shares.

    Class B  shares  of a Fund  that  are  redeemed  will  not be  subject  to a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge to the extent  that the value of such shares
represents  (i)  capital  appreciation  of Fund  assets,  (ii)  reinvestment  of
dividends or capital gains  distributions or (iii) shares redeemed more than six
years after their  purchase.  Otherwise,  redemptions  of Class B shares will be
subject to a contingent  deferred  sales  charge.  The amount of any  applicable
contingent deferred sales charge will be calculated by multiplying the lesser of
net asset  value of such  shares  at the time of  redemption  or their  original
purchase price by the applicable percentage shown in the following table.

                                          CONTINGENT
                                           DEFERRED
  REDEMPTION DURING                      SALES CHARGE

- ---------------------------------------------------------
  lst Year Since Purchase ............       5.00%
  2nd Year Since Purchase ............       4.00%
  3rd Year Since Purchase ............       3.00%
  4th Year Since Purchase ............       3.00%
  5th Year Since Purchase ............       2.00%
  6th Year Since Purchase ............       1.00%
  7th Year (or Later) Since Purchase .       None
- -----------------------------------------------------

    In determining the applicability  and rate of any contingent  deferred sales
charge,  it will be assumed  that a  redemption  is made first of Class B shares
representing capital appreciation,  next of shares representing the reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions and finally of other shares held by
the  shareholder  for the longest  period of time. The holding period of Class B
shares of a Fund acquired through an exchange with another Landmark Fund will be
calculated from the date that the Class B shares were initially  acquired in one
of the  other  Landmark  Funds,  and  Class  B  shares  being  redeemed  will be
considered to represent,  as applicable,  capital  appreciation  or dividend and
capital gains  distribution  reinvestments in such other funds. This will result
in any  contingent  deferred  sales charge being imposed at the lowest  possible
rate.  For federal income tax purposes,  the amount of the  contingent  deferred
sales charge will reduce the gain or increase  the loss,  as the case may be, on
the amount realized on redemption. Any contingent deferred sales charges will be
paid to the Distributor.

    SALES CHARGE WAIVERS -- CLASS B SHARES. The contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for exchanges.  In addition, the contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for a total or  partial  redemption  made  within one year of the
death  of  the  shareholder.   This  waiver  is  available  where  the  deceased
shareholder  is either the sole  shareholder  or owns the shares with his or her
spouse  as a joint  tenant  with  right of  survivorship,  and  applies  only to
redemption of shares held at the time of death.  The  contingent  deferred sales
charge also will be waived in connection with:

(i)   a lump sum or other  distribution in the case of an Individual  Retirement
      Account  ("IRA"),  a self-employed  individual  retirement plan (so-called
      "Keogh Plan") or a custodian  account under Section 403(b) of the Code, in
      each case  following  attainment  of age 59 1/2,

(ii)  a total or partial  redemption  resulting from any distribution  following
      retirement in the case of a  tax-qualified  retirement  plan,  and

(iii) a redemption resulting from a tax-free return of an excess contribution to
      an IRA.

    Contingent  deferred  sales  charge  waivers  will  be  granted  subject  to
confirmation by a shareholder's Shareholder Servicing Agent of the shareholder's
status or holdings, as the case may be.

    Securities  dealers and other financial  institutions may receive  different
compensation  with  respect  to  sales  of  Class  A and  Class  B  shares.  The
Distributor,   at  its  expense,  may  from  time  to  time  provide  additional
promotional  incentives to brokers who sell shares of a Fund. In some instances,
these  incentives  may be offered to certain  brokers  who have sold or may sell
significant numbers of shares of a Fund.

                                  EXCHANGES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Shares of each Fund may be  exchanged  for shares of the same class of other
Landmark Funds that are made available by a shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing
Agent,  or may be  acquired  through an  exchange of shares of the same class of
those funds. No initial sales charge is imposed on shares being acquired through
an exchange unless Class A shares are being acquired and the sales charge of the
fund being  exchanged  into is greater than the current sales charge of the Fund
(in which case an initial  sales  charge  will be imposed at a rate equal to the
difference).  No  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is imposed on shares being
disposed of through an exchange;  however, contingent deferred sales charges may
apply to redemptions of Class B shares acquired through an exchange.

    Shareholders must place exchange orders through their Shareholder  Servicing
Agents, and may do so by telephone if their account  applications so permit. For
more information on telephone transactions see "Redemptions." All exchanges will
be effected  based on the relative  net asset  values per share next  determined
after the  exchange  order is received by the  Distributor.  See  "Valuation  of
Shares."  Shares of the Funds may be  exchanged  only  after  payment in federal
funds for the shares has been made.

    This exchange  privilege may be modified or terminated at any time,  upon at
least 60 days'  notice  when  such  notice  is  required  by SEC  rules,  and is
available only in those  jurisdictions where such exchanges legally may be made.
See the Statement of Additional  Information for further details.  Before making
any exchange,  shareholders should contact their Shareholder Servicing Agents to
obtain more  information  and  prospectuses of the Landmark Funds to be acquired
through the exchange.

    An exchange is treated as a sale of the shares exchanged and could result in
taxable gain or loss to the shareholder making the exchange.


                                 REDEMPTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fund shares may be redeemed at their net asset value next determined after a
redemption  request in proper form is received  by a  shareholder's  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent (subject to any applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge).
Shareholders may redeem shares of a Fund only by authorizing  their  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents to redeem such shares on their behalf through the Distributor.
If a redeeming  shareholder  owns shares of more than one class,  Class A shares
will be redeemed first unless the shareholder specifically requests otherwise.

    A redemption is treated as a sale of the shares redeemed and could result in
taxable gain or loss to the shareholder making the redemption.

    REDEMPTIONS BY MAIL.  Shareholders may redeem Fund shares by sending written
instructions  in  proper  form (as  determined  by a  shareholder's  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent)  to  their  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents.  Shareholders  are
responsible for ensuring that a request for redemption is in proper form.

    REDEMPTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by
telephone, if their account applications so permit, by calling their Shareholder
Servicing Agents. During periods of drastic economic or market changes or severe
weather  or  other   emergencies,   shareholders  may  experience   difficulties
implementing  a telephone  exchange  or  redemption.  In such an event,  another
method of instruction,  such as a written request sent via an overnight delivery
service,  should be considered.  The Funds and each Shareholder  Servicing Agent
will employ reasonable  procedures to confirm that instructions  communicated by
telephone are genuine.  These procedures may include  recording of the telephone
instructions  and  verification of a caller's  identity by asking for his or her
name, address,  telephone number, Social Security number, and account number. If
these  or  other  reasonable  procedures  are  not  followed,  the  Fund  or the
Shareholder Servicing Agent may be liable for any losses to a shareholder due to
unauthorized or fraudulent  instructions.  Otherwise,  the shareholder will bear
all risk of loss relating to a redemption or exchange by telephone.

    PAYMENT OF  REDEMPTIONS.  The proceeds of a  redemption  are paid in federal
funds  normally on the next Business Day, but in any event within seven days. If
a shareholder  requests  redemption of shares which were purchased  recently,  a
Fund may delay payment until it is assured that good payment has been  received.
In  the  case  of  purchases  by  check,  this  can  take  up to ten  days.  See
"Determination of Net Asset Value; Valuation of Securities;  Additional Purchase
and Redemption Information" in the Statement of Additional Information regarding
the Funds' right to pay the redemption price in kind with securities (instead of
cash).

    REINSTATEMENT  PRIVILEGE.  Shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares may
reinstate  their Fund  account  without a sales  charge up to the dollar  amount
redeemed  (with a credit  for any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  paid) by
purchasing  Class A shares of the same Fund within 30 days after the redemption.
To take  advantage of this  reinstatement  privilege,  shareholders  must notify
their  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents in  writing at the time the  privilege  is
exercised.

    Questions  about   redemption   requirements   should  be  referred  to  the
shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent.  The right of any  shareholder  to
receive  payment with respect to any  redemption may be suspended or the payment
of the redemption  price postponed during any period in which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed  (other than weekends or holidays) or trading on the Exchange
is restricted or if an emergency exists.

                         DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Substantially  all of each Fund's net income from  dividends and interest is
paid to its shareholders of record as a dividend  monthly,  on or about the last
day of each month.

    Each Fund's net realized  short-term and long-term  capital  gains,  if any,
will be distributed to the Fund's  shareholders at least annually,  in December.
Each Fund may also make  additional  distributions  to its  shareholders  to the
extent necessary to avoid the application of the 4% non-deductible excise tax on
certain undistributed income and net capital gains of mutual funds.

    Subject to the policies of the shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing Agent, a
shareholder may elect to receive  dividends and capital gains  distributions  in
either  cash or  additional  shares of the same class  issued at net asset value
without a sales charge.  Distributions paid by each Fund with respect to Class A
shares  generally  will be higher than those paid with respect to Class B shares
because expenses attributable to Class B shares generally will be higher.

                                  MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES  AND  OFFICERS:  Each  Fund is  supervised  by a Board of  Trustees.  A
majority of the Trustees are not affiliated with the Adviser.  More  information
on the Trustees  and officers of the Funds  appears  under  "Management"  in the
Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT ADVISER:  CITIBANK. Each Fund draws on the strength and experience of
Citibank.  Citibank  offers a wide range of banking and  investment  services to
customers  across  the  United  States and  throughout  the world,  and has been
managing money since 1822. Its portfolio  managers are responsible for investing
in money market, equity and fixed income securities. Citibank and its affiliates
manage more than $73  billion in assets  worldwide.  Citibank is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Citicorp.  Citibank also serves as investment  adviser to 12 other
Landmark Funds or portfolios.

    Citibank manages each Fund's assets pursuant to separate investment advisory
agreements  ("Advisory  Agreements").  Subject to policies set by the  Trustees,
Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank's address is 153 East 53rd Street,
New York 10043.

    Frank Flammino,  a Vice President of Citibank,  is the manager of each Fund.
Mr.  Flammino  has 12 years  of  taxable  and  tax-exempt  portfolio  management
experience.  Prior to joining  the  Adviser in 1992,  he was  Director  of Fixed
Income for Home  Capital  Services.  Previously,  he was  associated  with First
Buckingham Corporation.

    Management's  discussion of performance of the New York Tax Free Income Fund
is included in the Annual Report to Shareholders  of that Fund,  which investors
may obtain without charge by contacting their Shareholder  Servicing Agents. The
National Tax Free Income Fund is newly  organized and has not issued any reports
to shareholders.

    ADVISORY FEES. For its services under the Advisory  Agreements,  the Adviser
receives advisory fees from each Fund, which are accrued daily and paid monthly,
at an  annual  rate of  0.40% of the  Fund's  average  daily  net  assets  on an
annualized  basis for the Fund's  then-current  fiscal  year.  The  Adviser  may
voluntarily  agree to  waive a  portion  of its  investment  advisory  fees on a
month-to-month basis.

    For the fiscal year ended  December  31,  1994,  the fee payable to Citibank
under the Advisory Agreement for the New York Tax Free Income Fund was $421,226,
of which $229,257 was voluntarily  waived (after giving effect to the waiver the
fee was 0.18% of the New York Tax Free Income  Fund's  average  daily net assets
for that fiscal year).

    BANKING  RELATIONSHIPS.  Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit,  loan
and other  relationships  with the issuers of securities  purchased on behalf of
the Funds,  including  outstanding  loans to such issuers which may be repaid in
whole or in part with the  proceeds of  securities  so  purchased.  Citibank has
informed the Funds that, in making its investment decisions,  it does not obtain
or use  material  inside  information  in the  possession  of  any  division  or
department of Citibank or in the possession of any affiliate of Citibank.

    BANK REGULATORY MATTERS.  The Glass-Steagall Act prohibits certain financial
institutions,  such  as  Citibank,  from  underwriting  securities  of  open-end
investment  companies,  such as the Funds.  Citibank  believes that its services
under  the  Advisory  Agreements  and  the  activities  performed  by it or  its
affiliates  as  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  and  sub-administrator  are  not
underwriting and are consistent with the  Glass-Steagall  Act and other relevant
federal and state laws. However, there is no controlling precedent regarding the
performance of the combination of investment advisory, shareholder servicing and
sub-administrative activities by banks. State laws on this issue may differ from
applicable federal law, and banks and financial  institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state securities laws. Changes in either federal
or state statutes or  regulations,  or in their  interpretations,  could prevent
Citibank  or its  affiliates  from  continuing  to perform  these  services.  If
Citibank or its  affiliates  were to be  prevented  from acting as the  Adviser,
sub-administrator  or a  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent,  the  Funds  would  seek
alternative  means for obtaining  these  services.  The Funds do not expect that
shareholders would suffer any adverse financial  consequences as a result of any
such occurrence.

ADMINISTRATIVE  SERVICES  PLAN: The Funds have an  administrative  services plan
(the  "Administrative  Services  Plan") which provides that the Funds may obtain
the services of an administrator, a transfer agent, a custodian, and one or more
Shareholder  Servicing Agents,  and may enter into agreements  providing for the
payment  of fees for such  services.  Under the Funds'  Administrative  Services
Plan, the total of the fees paid to each Fund's  Administrator  and  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents may not exceed 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets on
an annualized  basis for the Fund's  then-current  fiscal year. Any distribution
fees  (other than any fee  concerning  electronic  or other  media  advertising)
payable under the  Distribution  Plan for the Class A shares of the New York Tax
Free Income Fund are included in this  percentage  limitation  for those shares.
For the Class A shares of the  National Tax Free Income Fund and for the Class B
shares of each Fund,  this limitation does not include any amounts payable under
the  Distribution  Plan  for  those  shares.  Within  this  overall  limitation,
individual fees may vary. See  "Administrator,"  "Shareholder  Servicing Agents"
and "Transfer Agent and Custodian."

ADMINISTRATOR:   The  Landmark  Funds  Broker-Dealer  Services,  Inc.  ("LFBDS")
provides certain  administrative  services to the Funds under an  administrative
services  agreement.  These  administrative  services include  providing general
office  facilities,  supervising the overall  administration  of the Funds,  and
providing persons satisfactory to the Board of Trustees to serve as Trustees and
officers of the Funds. These Trustees and officers may be directors, officers or
employees of LFBDS or its affiliates.

    For these services,  the Administrator  receives fees accrued daily and paid
monthly not to exceed  0.20% of the average  daily net assets of each Fund on an
annualized  basis  for  the  Fund's  then-current  fiscal  year.  However,   the
Administrator  has voluntarily  agreed to waive a portion of the fees payable to
it on a month-to-month basis.

    LFBDS is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Signature  Financial  Group,  Inc.
"Landmark" is a service mark of LFBDS.

SUB-ADMINISTRATOR: Pursuant to a sub-administrative services agreement, Citibank
performs such  sub-administrative  duties for the Funds as from time to time are
agreed upon by Citibank and LFBDS.  Citibank's compensation as sub-administrator
is paid by LFBDS.

SHAREHOLDER  SERVICING AGENTS: The Funds have entered into separate  shareholder
servicing  agreements  with each  Shareholder  Servicing Agent pursuant to which
that  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent  provides  shareholder  services,  including
answering customer  inquiries,  assisting in processing  purchase,  exchange and
redemption transactions and furnishing Fund communications to shareholders.  For
these services,  each Shareholder  Servicing Agent receives a fee from each Fund
at an  annual  rate of  0.40%  of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the  Fund
represented  by shares owned by investors  for whom such  Shareholder  Servicing
Agent maintains a servicing  relationship.  However,  each Shareholder Servicing
Agent has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee.

    Some  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents may impose certain  conditions on their
customers in addition to or different  from those imposed by the Funds,  such as
requiring a minimum initial  investment or charging their customers a direct fee
for their services.  Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent has agreed to transmit to
its  customers  who  are  shareholders  of  a  Fund  appropriate  prior  written
disclosure of any fees that it may charge them  directly and to provide  written
notice at least 30 days prior to imposition of any transaction fees.

TRANSFER  AGENT AND  CUSTODIAN:  State  Street  Bank and Trust  Company  acts as
transfer  agent,   dividend  disbursing  agent  and  custodian  for  each  Fund.
Securities  may be held by a  sub-custodian  bank approved by the Trustees.  The
principal  business  address  of State  Street  Bank and  Trust  Company  is 225
Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

DISTRIBUTION  ARRANGEMENTS:  LFBDS is the distributor of shares of each Fund and
also  serves  as  distributor  for each of the  other  Landmark  Funds  and as a
Shareholder  Servicing Agent for certain investors.  LFBDS receives distribution
fees from the Funds pursuant to  Distribution  Plans adopted in accordance  with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. As  distributor,  LFBDS also  collects  the sales
charges  imposed on  purchases  of Class A shares and  collects  any  contingent
deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions of Class A and Class B shares.  In
those states where LFBDS is not a registered broker-dealer,  shares of the Funds
are sold through Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc., as dealer.

    The Funds  maintain  separate  plans of  distribution  pertaining to Class A
shares and Class B shares (collectively "Plans"). The Class A Plan provides that
the Funds may pay the Distributor a monthly  distribution  fee at an annual rate
not to exceed  0.05% and 0.15% of the average  daily net assets  represented  by
Class A shares of the  National  Tax Free  Income Fund and the New York Tax Free
Income Fund, respectively. Currently, the distribution fee for Class A shares of
each Fund is 0.05% per annum of the  average  daily net  assets  represented  by
Class A shares.  In addition,  the Class A Plan for the National Tax Free Income
Fund provides that the Fund may pay the  Distributor a monthly service fee at an
annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets  represented  by
Class A shares. However, the Fund has not entered into any agreement to pay this
service fee to the  Distributor.  The Class A Plan also permits the Funds to pay
the  Distributor an additional fee (not to exceed 0.05% of the average daily net
assets represented by Class A shares) in anticipation of or as reimbursement for
print or electronic media  advertising  expenses incurred in connection with the
sale of Class A shares.  The New York Tax Free Income Fund did not pay  anything
under this  provision  during  1994,  and the Funds do not  anticipate  doing so
during the current fiscal year.

    The Class B Plan provides  that the Funds may pay the  Distributor a monthly
distribution  fee and a  monthly  service  fee at annual  rates  not to  exceed,
respectively,  0.75% and 0.25% of the average  daily net assets  represented  by
Class B shares.  Currently the service fee for Class B shares is 0.05% per annum
of the average daily net assets represented by Class B shares.

    The Distributor  uses the  distribution  fees under the Plans to offset each
Fund's marketing costs attributable to the classes, such as preparation of sales
literature,  advertising,  and printing and distributing  prospectuses and other
shareholder materials to prospective investors. In addition, the Distributor may
use the  distribution  fees to pay costs  related  to  distribution  activities,
including   employee  salaries,   bonuses  and  other  overhead  expenses.   The
Distributor also uses the distribution fees under the Class B Plan to offset the
commissions  it pays to brokers  and other  institutions  for selling the Funds'
Class B shares. The Funds and the Distributor  provide to the Trustees quarterly
a written report of amounts expended  pursuant to the Plans and the purposes for
which the expenditures were made.

    During the period  they are in effect,  the Plans and  related  distribution
agreements  pertaining  to each  class  of  shares  ("Distribution  Agreements")
obligate the Funds to pay  distribution  fees to LFBDS as  compensation  for its
distribution  activities,  not as reimbursement for specific expenses  incurred.
Thus, even if LFBDS's expenses exceed its distribution fees for a Fund, the Fund
will not be obligated  to pay more than those fees and, if LFBDS's  expenses are
less than such fees,  it will  retain its full fees and  realize a profit.  Each
Fund will pay the distribution fees to LFBDS until either the applicable Plan or
Distribution  Agreement is  terminated  or not renewed.  In that event,  LFBDS's
expenses  in excess  of  distribution  fees  received  or  accrued  through  the
termination date will be LFBDS's sole  responsibility and not obligations of the
Fund. In their annual  consideration  of the  continuation of the Plans for each
Fund,  the  Trustees  will review each Plan and LFBDS's  expenses for each class
separately.

    Each class of shares of each Fund has  exclusive  voting rights with respect
to the Plan for that class.

    From  time  to  time  LFBDS  may  make  payments  for  distribution   and/or
shareholder  servicing  activities  out of its past profits or any other sources
available to it.

                                 TAX MATTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This discussion of taxes is for general  information only.  Investors should
consult their own tax advisers about their particular situations.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies so that it will not be
liable for any federal income or excise taxes.

    Each  Fund  expects  that most of its net  income  will be  attributable  to
tax-exempt Municipal Obligations, and, as a result, most of the Fund's dividends
to shareholders  will be excludable from  shareholders'  gross income.  However,
each Fund may invest from time to time in taxable  securities,  and certain Fund
dividends may be subject to the federal alternative  minimum tax.  Distributions
of capital gains on the sale or other  disposition of Fund  investments are also
taxable to Fund  shareholders.  Generally,  distributions  from each  Fund's net
short-term  capital gains will be taxed as ordinary  income,  and  distributions
from net long-term  capital  gains will be taxed as such  regardless of how long
the shares of the Fund have been held.  Dividends and  distributions are treated
in the same manner for federal tax purposes  whether they are paid in cash or as
additional shares.

    Any gains realized by a shareholder on the sale or redemption of Fund shares
are subject to tax.  If Fund shares are  redeemed  after  tax-exempt  income has
accrued  but not yet been  declared as a  dividend,  the  portion of  redemption
proceeds  representing that income may be taxed as a capital gain even though it
would  have been  tax-exempt  if it had been  declared  as a  dividend  prior to
redemption.   In  addition,  any  short-term  capital  loss  realized  upon  the
redemption of Fund shares  within six months of their  purchase is disallowed to
the extent of any dividends of tax-exempt income received during that period.

    Fund  dividends of tax-exempt  income are taken into account in  determining
the amount of a shareholder's  social security and railroad  retirement benefits
that may be subject to federal  income  tax.  No  deduction  may be claimed  for
interest on  indebtedness  incurred or carried for the purpose of  purchasing or
holding Fund shares.  Investors who are, or are related to,  "substantial users"
of  facilities  financed by private  activity  bonds  should  consult  their tax
advisers before buying Fund shares.

    Early each year,  each Fund will notify its  shareholders  of the amount and
tax status of distributions paid to shareholders for the preceding year.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES:  NEW YORK TAXES.  To the extent that  dividends  received
from the New York Tax Free  Income  Fund are  derived  from  interest  on triple
tax-exempt obligations,  the dividends will be excluded from the gross income of
individual  shareholders  who are New York  residents for New York State and New
York City  personal  income tax purposes.  DIVIDENDS  FROM THE NEW YORK TAX FREE
INCOME  FUND ARE NOT  EXCLUDED  IN  DETERMINING  NEW YORK STATE OR NEW YORK CITY
FRANCHISE TAXES ON CORPORATIONS AND FINANCIAL  INSTITUTIONS.  Dividends received
from the National Tax Free Income Fund are generally not expected to be excluded
from  gross  income  for New York  State and New York City  personal  income tax
purposes.

    GENERALLY.  Except as described under "New York Taxes," Fund dividends which
are excludable from  shareholders'  gross income for federal income tax purposes
will not necessarily be exempt from the income or other tax laws of any state or
local taxing authority.  Investors should consult their own tax advisers in this
regard.

                           PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fund performance may be quoted in advertising, shareholder reports and other
communications in terms of yield,  effective yield, tax equivalent yield,  total
rate  of  return  or tax  equivalent  total  rate  of  return.  All  performance
information  is historical and is not intended to indicate  future  performance.
Yields and total rates of return fluctuate in response to market  conditions and
other  factors,  and the value of a Fund's  shares when  redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.

    Each Fund may  provide  its period and average  annualized  "total  rates of
return" and "tax  equivalent  total rates of return." The "total rate of return"
refers to the  change in the  value of an  investment  in the Fund over a stated
period  which was made at the maximum  public  offering  price and  reflects any
change in net asset  value per share and is  compounded  to include the value of
any shares  purchased with any dividends or capital gains  declared  during such
period.  Period total rates of return may be "annualized." An "annualized" total
rate of return  assumes that the period total rate of return is generated over a
one-year  period.  The "tax equivalent total rate of return" refers to the total
rate of return that a fully taxable  mutual fund would have to generate in order
to produce an after-tax  total rate of return  equivalent to that of a Fund. The
use of a tax  equivalent  total rate of return  allows  investors to compare the
total rates of return of the Funds,  the dividends from which are expected to be
mostly  exempt from  federal  income  taxes and, in the case of the New York Tax
Free Income Fund,  from New York State and New York City personal  income taxes,
with the total  rates of return of funds  the  dividends  from  which are not so
tax-exempt.  These  total  rate  of  return  quotations  may be  accompanied  by
quotations  which do not reflect the reduction in value of the investment due to
the initial or contingent deferred sales charges, and which are thus higher.

    Each  Fund  may  provide  annualized  "yield,"  "effective  yield"  and "tax
equivalent  yield"  quotations.  The  "yield"  of a Fund  refers  to the  income
generated by an  investment in the Fund over a 30-day or one month period (which
period is stated in any such  advertisement  or  communication).  This income is
then annualized;  that is, the amount of income generated by the investment over
that period is assumed to be generated each month over a one-year  period and is
shown as a percentage of the maximum  public  offering  price on the last day of
that period. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly,  but when annualized
the income  earned by the  investment  during that 30-day or one month period is
assumed to be reinvested.  The effective yield is slightly higher than the yield
because  of the  compounding  effect  of this  assumed  reinvestment.  The  "tax
equivalent  yield"  refers to the yield that a fully  taxable fund would have to
generate in order to produce an after-tax  yield  equivalent  to that of a Fund.
The use of a tax equivalent  yield allows  investors to compare the yield of the
Funds,  the  dividends  from which are expected to be mostly exempt from federal
income  taxes and,  in the case of the New York Tax Free Income  Fund,  from New
York State and New York City  personal  income  taxes,  with yields of funds the
dividends from which are not so tax exempt. A "yield" quotation,  unlike a total
rate of return quotation, does not reflect changes in net asset value.

    Each Fund will include  performance  data for both classes of Fund shares in
any advertisements,  reports or communications  including Fund performance data.
Of course, any fees charged by a shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing Agent will
reduce that shareholder's net return on his or her investment. See the Statement
of Additional  Information  for more  information  concerning the calculation of
yield and total rate of return quotations for the Funds.

                             GENERAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ORGANIZATION:  Each Fund is a series of Landmark  Tax Free Income Funds (the
"Trust"),  which is a Massachusetts business trust that was organized on May 27,
1986.  The Trust was known as "Landmark New York Tax Free Income Fund" until its
name was changed effective October 21, 1993. The Trust is an open-end management
investment company registered under the 1940 Act.

    Each Fund is a  non-diversified  mutual  fund,  which  means  that it is not
limited by the 1940 Act in the  proportion of its assets that may be invested in
the obligations of a single issuer.  Each Fund intends,  however, to comply with
diversification  requirements  imposed on mutual funds by the  Internal  Revenue
Code.

    Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a business trust may, under certain
circumstances,   be  held   personally   liable  as  partners  for  the  trust's
obligations.  However,  the risk of a shareholder  incurring  financial  loss on
account of  shareholder  liability  is limited  to  circumstances  in which both
inadequate  insurance  existed  and the  trust  itself  was  unable  to meet its
obligations.

VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS:  The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, may
create new series of shares and may divide  shares in each series into  classes.
Each share of each Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee  elections and
other matters  submitted to shareholders  for vote. All shares of each series of
the Trust have equal voting  rights  except that,  in matters  affecting  only a
particular  Fund or  class,  only  shares of that  particular  Fund or class are
entitled to vote.

    At any meeting of  shareholders  of any Fund, a Shareholder  Servicing Agent
may vote any  shares of which it is the  holder of record  and for which it does
not  receive  voting   instructions   proportionately  in  accordance  with  the
instructions  it  receives  for all  other  shares  of  which  that  Shareholder
Servicing Agent is the holder of record.

    The  Trust's  activities  are  supervised  by its  Board of  Trustees.  As a
Massachusetts  business  trust,  the  Trust  is  not  required  to  hold  annual
shareholder  meetings.  Shareholder  approval  will  usually be sought  only for
changes in a Fund's fundamental investment  restrictions and for the election of
Trustees under certain  circumstances.  Trustees may be removed by  shareholders
under certain circumstances.  Each share of each Fund or any other series of the
Trust is entitled to  participate  equally in dividends and other  distributions
and the proceeds of any  liquidation  of that Fund or such other  series  except
that, due to the differing expenses borne by each class,  dividends and proceeds
generally will be lower for Class B shares than for Class A shares.

CERTIFICATES:   The  Funds'  Transfer  Agent  maintains  a  share  register  for
shareholders of record, i.e.,  Shareholder  Servicing Agents. Share certificates
are not issued.

EXPENSES:  In addition to amounts  payable as described above under the Advisory
Agreements,  the Administrative  Services Plan and the Distribution  Plans, each
Fund is responsible  for its own expenses,  including,  among other things,  the
costs of  securities  transactions,  the  compensation  of Trustees that are not
affiliated with the Adviser,  government fees, taxes, accounting and legal fees,
expenses of communicating  with  shareholders,  interest expense,  and insurance
premiums.  All fee waivers are voluntary and may be reduced or terminated at any
time.

                                   APPENDIX
                          PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND
                             INVESTMENT PRACTICES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MUNICIPAL  BONDS.  Municipal bonds are debt  obligations of states,  cities,
municipalities  and municipal  agencies and  authorities  which generally have a
maturity  at the time of issue of one year or more and which are issued to raise
funds for  various  public  purposes,  such as  construction  of a wide range of
public  facilities,  refunding  outstanding  obligations or obtaining  funds for
institutions  and  facilities.  The two principal  classifications  of municipal
bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are
secured by the  issuer's  pledge of its full faith,  credit and taxing power for
the payment of principal and interest.  The principal of and interest on revenue
bonds are  payable  from the income of  specific  projects  or  authorities  and
generally are not supported by the issuer's general power to levy taxes. In some
cases, revenues derived from specific taxes are pledged to support payments on a
revenue bond.

    In addition,  certain kinds of private activity bonds ("PABs") are issued by
or on behalf of public  authorities  to provide  funding for  various  privately
operated  industrial  facilities,  such as  warehouse,  office,  plant and store
facilities and environmental and pollution control facilities. PABs are, in most
cases,  revenue bonds. The payment of the principal and interest on PABs usually
depends  solely on the  ability of the user of the  facilities  financed  by the
bonds or other  guarantor  to meet its  financial  obligations  and,  in certain
instances,  the pledge of real and  personal  property as security  for payment.
Many PABs may not be readily marketable;  however, the PABs or the participation
certificates  in PABs  purchased by the Funds will have  liquidity  because they
generally  will be  supported  by  demand  features  to  "high  quality"  banks,
insurance companies or other financial institutions.

    MUNICIPAL  NOTES.  There are four  major  varieties  of state and  municipal
notes:  Tax and Revenue  Anticipation  Notes ("TRANs");  Tax Anticipation  Notes
("TANs");  Revenue  Anticipation  Notes ("RANs");  and Bond  Anticipation  Notes
("BANs").  TRANs, TANs and RANs are issued by states,  municipalities  and other
tax-exempt issuers to finance short-term cash needs or, occasionally, to finance
construction.  Most TRANs, TANs and RANs are general  obligations of the issuing
entity payable from taxes or designated revenues,  respectively,  expected to be
received within the related fiscal period.  BANs are issued with the expectation
that  principal and interest of the maturing  notes will be paid out of proceeds
from  notes or bonds to be  issued  concurrently  or at a later  date.  BANs are
issued most  frequently  by both  general  obligation  and revenue  bond issuers
usually to finance such items as land acquisition,  facility  acquisition and/or
construction and capital improvement projects.

    VARIABLE  RATE  INSTRUMENTS  AND  PARTICIPATION  INTERESTS.   Variable  rate
instruments  provide for a periodic  adjustment in the interest rate paid on the
instrument  and usually  permit the holder to receive  payment of principal  and
accrued interest upon a specified  number of day's notice.  The Funds may invest
in participation  interests in Municipal  Obligations owned by a bank, insurance
company   or   other   financial   institution   or   affiliated    organization
("Participation  Interests").  A variable  rate  instrument  or a  Participation
Interest may be backed by an irrevocable  letter of credit or guarantee of, or a
right to put to, a bank,  or an insurance  policy of an insurance  company.  See
"Stand-by  Commitments."  Purchase of a  Participation  Interest may involve the
risk that a Fund will not be deemed to be the owner of the underlying  Municipal
Obligation  for purposes of the ability to claim tax  exemption of interest paid
on that Municipal Obligation.  If interest rates rise or fall, the rates payable
on variable rate instruments will generally be readjusted.  As a result variable
rate instruments do not offer the same  opportunity for capital  appreciation or
loss as fixed rate instruments.

    STAND-BY  COMMITMENTS.  When a Fund purchases  Municipal  Obligations it may
also acquire stand-by  commitments from banks or broker-dealers  with respect to
the Municipal Obligations.  Under a stand-by commitment, a bank or broker-dealer
agrees to purchase at the Fund's  option a specified  Municipal  Obligation at a
specified price. A stand-by  commitment is the equivalent of a "put" option with
respect  to a  particular  Municipal  Obligation.  Each Fund  intends to acquire
stand-by commitments solely to facilitate  liquidity.  Stand- by commitments are
subject  to  certain  risks,  which  include  the  ability  of the issuer of the
commitment to pay for the Municipal  Obligations  at the time the  commitment is
exercised, the fact that the commitment is not marketable, and the fact that the
maturity of the underlying security will generally be different from that of the
commitment.  In some cases it may not be  possible to  exercise  rights  under a
stand-by commitment when the underlying Municipal Obligation is in default.

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  Each Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements in
order to earn a return on temporarily  available cash. Repurchase agreements are
transactions  in which an  institution  sells a Fund a  security  at one  price,
subject  to the  Fund's  obligation  to  resell  and the  selling  institution's
obligation to repurchase that security at a higher price normally within a seven
day  period.  There may be delays  and risks of loss if the  seller is unable to
meet its obligation to repurchase.  Repurchase  agreements may involve Municipal
Obligations and other securities.

    REVERSE REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by
a Fund  and  the  agreement  by the  Fund to  repurchase  the  securities  at an
agreed-upon  price, date and interest  payment.  When a Fund enters into reverse
repurchase  transactions,  securities  of a dollar  amount equal in value to the
securities  subject to the agreement will be maintained in a segregated  account
with the Fund's  custodian.  The  segregation  of assets could impair the Fund's
ability to meet its current  obligations  or impede  investment  management if a
large portion of the Fund's assets are involved.  Reverse repurchase  agreements
are considered to be a form of borrowing.

    LENDING OF  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Consistent  with  applicable  regulatory
requirements and in order to generate  additional income, each Fund may lend its
portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other institutional  borrowers.  Such
loans must be callable at any time and continuously  secured by collateral (cash
or U.S.  Government  securities)  in an amount not less than the  market  value,
determined  daily,  of the securities  loaned.  It is intended that the value of
securities loaned by a Fund would not exceed 30% of the Fund's total assets.

    In the event of the  bankruptcy  of the other party to a securities  loan, a
repurchase agreement or a reverse repurchase agreement,  a Fund could experience
delays in recovering  either the securities lent or cash. To the extent that, in
the meantime, the value of the securities lent has increased or the value of the
securities purchased has decreased, the Fund could experience a loss.

    RULE 144A SECURITIES.  Each Fund may purchase restricted securities that are
not  registered for sale to the general  public if the Adviser  determines  that
there is a dealer or institutional  market in the securities.  In that case, the
securities will not be treated as illiquid for purposes of the Fund's investment
limitations. The Trustees will review these determinations. These securities are
known as "Rule 144A  securities,"  because  they are traded  under SEC Rule 144A
among  qualified  institutional  buyers.  Institutional  trading  in  Rule  144A
securities is relatively  new, and the liquidity of these  investments  could be
impaired  if trading in Rule 144A  securities  does not develop or to the extent
qualified  institutional  buyers become, for a time,  uninterested in purchasing
Rule 144A securities.

    PRIVATE  PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID  INVESTMENTS.  The National Tax Free Income
Fund  and the New  York  Tax Free  Income  Fund  may  invest  up to 15% and 10%,
respectively,  of their net assets in  securities  for which there is no readily
available  market.  These  illiquid  securities  may  include  privately  placed
restricted securities for which no institutional market exists. The absence of a
trading  market can make it  difficult  to ascertain a market value for illiquid
investments.  Disposing  of  illiquid  investments  may  involve  time-consuming
negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund
to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.

    "WHEN-ISSUED"  SECURITIES.  In order to ensure the  availability of suitable
securities,  each  Fund  may  purchase  securities  on a  "when-issued"  or on a
"forward  delivery" basis, which means that the securities would be delivered to
the Fund at a  future  date  beyond  customary  settlement  time.  Under  normal
circumstances,  the Fund takes delivery of the securities.  In general, the Fund
does not pay for the  securities  until  received  and does  not  start  earning
interest until the contractual  settlement date. While awaiting  delivery of the
securities,  the Fund establishes a segregated  account consisting of cash, cash
equivalents  or high quality debt  securities  equal to the amount of the Fund's
commitments to purchase "when-issued"  securities. An increase in the percentage
of a Fund's assets  committed to the purchase of  securities on a  "when-issued"
basis may increase the volatility of its net asset value.

    FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES  CONTRACTS.  To protect against the
effects of adverse  changes in interest  rates  (sometimes  known as "hedging"),
each Fund may enter into futures contracts on debt securities. Futures contracts
provide  for the future  sale by one party and  purchase  by another  party of a
specified amount of a security at a specified  future time and price.  Each Fund
may also purchase and write put and call options on such futures  contracts.  An
option on a futures  contract  gives the purchaser the right,  in exchange for a
premium,  to assume a position in a futures  contract  at a  specified  exercise
price  during the term of the  option.  This type of option  must be traded on a
national futures exchange.

    Options and futures can be volatile investments,  and involve certain risks.
If a Fund applies a hedge at an inappropriate  time or judges market  conditions
incorrectly,  options and futures strategies may lower the Fund's return. A Fund
could also experience  losses if the prices of its options and futures positions
were poorly  correlated with its other  investments or if it could not close out
its positions because of an illiquid secondary market.

    SHORT  SALES  "AGAINST  THE BOX." In a short  sale,  a Fund sells a borrowed
security  and  has a  corresponding  obligation  to the  lender  to  return  the
identical  security.  Each Fund may engage in short sales only if at the time of
the short sale it owns or has the right to obtain,  at no  additional  cost,  an
equal  amount of the security  being sold short.  This  investment  technique is
known as a short  sale  "against  the  box." A Fund  may make a short  sale as a
hedge,  when it  believes  that the value of a security  owned by the Fund (or a
security convertible or exchangeable for such security) may decline, or when the
Fund wants to sell the  security at an  attractive  current  price but wishes to
defer  recognition  of gain or loss for tax  purposes.  Not  more  than 40% of a
Fund's total assets would be involved in short sales "against the box."

                                  1. THE FUNDS

         Landmark Tax Free Income Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end  management
investment company which was organized as a business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of  Massachusetts on May 27, 1986. The Trust was known as "Landmark
New York Tax Free Income Fund" until its name was changed  effective October 21,
1993. This Statement of Additional  Information  describes Landmark National Tax
Free Income Fund and Landmark New York Tax Free Income Fund,  each of which is a
separate  series  of the  Trust.  References  in this  Statement  of  Additional
Information to the "Prospectus"  are to the Prospectus,  dated April 3, 1995, of
the Trust by which shares of the Funds are offered.

         Citibank,  N.A.  ("Citibank" or the "Adviser") is investment adviser to
each of the Funds.  The Adviser manages the investments of the Funds from day to
day in accordance  with each Fund's  investment  objectives  and  policies.  The
selection of  investments  for the Funds and the way they are managed  depend on
the conditions and trends in the economy and the financial marketplaces.

         The  Landmark  Funds  Broker-Dealer  Services,  Inc.  ("LFBDS"  or  the
"Administrator"),  the  administrator  of  each  Fund,  supervises  the  overall
administration  of each Fund.  The Board of Trustees of the Trust provides broad
supervision over the affairs of the Funds.  Shares of the Funds are continuously
sold by LFBDS, the Funds' distributor (the "Distributor"), only to investors who
are customers of a financial  institution,  such as a federal or state-chartered
bank,  trust  company,  savings  and loan  association  or  savings  bank,  or a
securities broker, that has entered into a shareholder  servicing agreement with
the Trust (collectively,  "Shareholder  Servicing Agents").  Shares of each Fund
are sold at net asset value, plus, in the case of Class A Shares, a sales charge
that may be reduced on purchases  involving  substantial amounts and that may be
eliminated in certain circumstances. LFBDS receives a distribution fee from each
Fund  pursuant to a  Distribution  Plan  adopted  with  respect to each class of
shares of the Funds in accordance  with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment  Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). LFBDS also receives a service fee from
the  assets  of  each  Fund  represented  by  Class  B  shares  pursuant  to the
Distribution Plan adopted with respect to the Class B shares of the Funds.

              2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

                             INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

         The investment objectives of the LANDMARK NATIONAL TAX FREE INCOME FUND
are to generate high levels of current  income exempt from federal  income taxes
and to preserve the value of its shareholders' investment.

         The investment objectives of the LANDMARK NEW YORK TAX FREE INCOME FUND
are to generate  high levels of current  income  exempt from  federal,  New York
State and New York City  personal  income taxes and to preserve the value of its
shareholders' investment.

         The investment  objectives of each Fund may be changed without approval
by that Fund's  shareholders,  but shareholders  will be given written notice at
least 30 days  before any  change is  implemented.  Of  course,  there can be no
assurance that either Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

                              INVESTMENT POLICIES

         As a  fundamental  policy,  the Trust seeks to achieve  the  investment
objective of the  National  Fund by  investing  in debt  obligations  consisting
primarily  (i.e.,  at least 80% of its assets  under  normal  circumstances)  of
municipal  bonds and notes and other debt  instruments  the interest on which is
exempt  from  federal   personal  income  taxes   ("Municipal   Obligations"  or
"tax-exempt  securities").  As used in this Statement of Additional Information,
the  terms  "Municipal   Obligations"  and  "tax-exempt   securities"  are  used
interchangeably  to refer to debt instruments  issued by or on behalf of states,
territories  and  possessions  of the United States and the District of Columbia
and their political subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities, the interest on
which is exempt  from  federal  income  taxes  (without  regard to  whether  the
interest thereon is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax).

         As a  fundamental  policy,  the Trust seeks to achieve  the  investment
objective  of the New York  Fund by  investing  in debt  obligations  consisting
primarily  (i.e.,  at  least  80% of its  assets  under  normal  conditions)  of
municipal  bonds and notes and other debt  instruments  the interest on which is
exempt from  federal,  New York State and New York City  personal  income taxes.
These  obligations are issued  primarily by the State of New York, its political
subdivisions, municipalities, agencies, instrumentalities or public authorities.

         Each  Fund's   investment   policies  are   described  in   "Investment
Information - Investment Policies" in the Prospectus.  The following supplements
the   information   contained  in  the  Prospectus   concerning  the  investment
objectives,  policies and techniques of the Funds.  For a general  discussion of
Municipal  Obligations and the risks  associated with  investment  therein,  see
Appendix A to this Statement of Additional  Information.  In determining the tax
status of interest on Municipal  Obligations,  the Adviser relies on opinions of
bond counsel who may be counsel to the issuer.

         Except as otherwise stated, the following  investment  policies are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Trustees  without approval by the
Funds' shareholders.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

         A futures contract is an agreement between two parties for the purchase
or sale for future  delivery of securities or for the payment or acceptance of a
cash  settlement  based upon changes in the value of an index of  securities.  A
"sale" of a futures  contract means the acquisition of a contractual  obligation
to deliver the securities or to make or accept the cash settlement called for by
the contract at a specified price on a specified date. A "purchase" of a futures
contract  means the  acquisition  of a  contractual  obligation  to acquire  the
securities or to make or accept the cash  settlement  called for by the contract
at a specified price on a specified date.  Futures  contracts have been designed
by exchanges  which have been  designated  "contract  markets" by the  Commodity
Futures  Trading  Commission  ("CFTC")  and must be  executed  through a futures
commission  merchant,  or  brokerage  firm,  which is a member  of the  relevant
contract market.  Futures  contracts trade on these markets,  and the exchanges,
through their  clearing  organizations,  guarantee  that the  contracts  will be
performed as between the clearing members of the exchange.

         While  futures  contracts  based on debt  securities do provide for the
delivery and acceptance of securities,  such deliveries and acceptances are very
seldom made.  Generally,  a futures  contract is  terminated by entering into an
offsetting transaction. Brokerage fees will be incurred when a Fund purchases or
sells a futures contracts. At the same time such a purchase or sale is made, the
Fund must provide cash or securities as a deposit  ("initial  deposit") known as
"margin".  The initial  deposit  required will vary,  but may be as low as 2% or
less of a  contract's  face value.  Daily  thereafter,  the futures  contract is
valued through a process known as "marking to market",  and the Fund may receive
or be  required to pay  additional  "variation  margin" as the futures  contract
becomes more or less valuable. At the time of delivery of securities pursuant to
such a contract,  adjustments are made to recognize differences in value arising
from the delivery of securities with a different interest rate than the specific
security  that  provides the standard for the  contract.  In some (but not many)
cases, securities called for by a futures contract may not have been issued when
the contract was entered into.

         In the case of the Funds,  which hold or will  acquire  long-term  debt
securities,  the purpose of the acquisition or sale of a futures  contract is to
attempt to  protect  the Funds  from  fluctuations  in  interest  rates  without
actually buying or selling  long-term debt  securities.  For example,  if a Fund
owns long-term  bonds,  and interest  rates were expected to increase,  the Fund
might enter into futures contracts for the sale of debt securities.  Such a sale
would have much the same effect as selling an equivalent  value of the long-term
bonds owned by the Fund. If the interest  rates did  increase,  the value of the
Fund's debt  securities  would decline,  but the value of the futures  contracts
would increase at  approximately  the same rate,  thereby  keeping the net asset
value of the Fund from  declining  as much as it otherwise  would have.  Similar
results  could be  accomplished  by  selling  bonds  with  long  maturities  and
investing in bonds with short  maturities  when  interest  rates are expected to
increase.  However,  the use of futures  contracts  as an  investment  technique
allows  a Fund to  maintain  a  hedging  position  without  having  to sell  its
securities.

         Similarly, when it is expected that interest rates may decline, futures
contracts may be purchased to attempt to hedge against anticipated  purchases of
long-term bonds at higher prices. Since the fluctuations in the value of futures
contracts  should be similar to that of long-term  bonds,  it may be possible to
protect a Fund,  in whole or in part,  against the  increased  cost of acquiring
bonds  resulting  from a decline in interest  rates.  At that time,  the futures
contracts could be liquidated and the Fund could purchase long-term bonds on the
cash  market.  To the  extent a Fund  enters  into  futures  contracts  for this
purpose,  the assets in the  segregated  asset  account  maintained to cover the
Fund's  obligations with respect to such futures contracts will consist of cash,
cash  equivalents  or high  quality  debt  securities  in an amount equal to the
difference  between the fluctuating  market value of such futures  contracts and
the  aggregate  value of the initial and variation  margin  payments made by the
Fund with respect to such futures contracts.

         The  ability  effectively  to  hedge  all  or a  portion  of  a  Fund's
investments  through  transactions in futures contracts depends on the degree to
which  movements in the value of the debt  securities  underlying such contracts
correlate with movements in the value of the Fund's securities.  If the security
underlying a futures contract is different than the security being hedged,  they
may not move to the same extent or in the same  direction.  In that  event,  the
Fund's  hedging  strategy  might not be  successful  and the Fund could  sustain
losses on these hedging  transactions  which would not be offset by gains on the
Fund's investments. It is also possible that there may be a negative correlation
between the security  underlying a futures  contract  and the  securities  being
hedged,  which could  result in losses both on the hedging  transaction  and the
securities.  In these and other  instances,  the Fund's  overall return could be
less than if the hedging transactions had not been undertaken.

         A Fund  would  purchase  or sell  futures  contracts  only  if,  in the
judgment  of the  Adviser,  there  is  expected  to be a  sufficient  degree  of
correlation  between  movements in the value of such  instruments and changes in
the value of the relevant  portion of the Fund's  securities for the hedge to be
effective.  There  can be no  assurance  that  the  Adviser's  judgment  will be
accurate.

         The ordinary  spreads  between prices in the cash and futures  markets,
due to differences in the nature of those markets,  are subject to  distortions.
First, all participants in the futures market are subject to initial deposit and
variation margin  requirements.  Rather than meeting additional variation margin
requirements,  investors  may close out  futures  contracts  through  offsetting
transactions  which could distort the normal  relationship  between the cash and
futures  markets.  Second,  there is the  potential  that the  liquidity  of the
futures market may be lacking.  Prior to expiration,  a futures  contract may be
terminated only by entering into a closing purchase or sale  transaction,  which
requires  a  secondary  market  on the  contract  market  on which  the  futures
contracts was  originally  entered into.  While a Fund will  establish a futures
position only if there appears to be a liquid secondary  market therefor,  there
can be no  assurance  that such a market will exist for any  particular  futures
contract at any specific  time.  In that event,  it may not be possible to close
out a position  held by the Fund,  which  could  require the Fund to purchase or
sell the instrument underlying the futures contract or to meet ongoing variation
margin  requirements.  The inability to close out futures  positions  also could
have  an  adverse  impact  on  the  ability  effectively  to  hedge  the  Fund's
securities.

         The  liquidity  of a  secondary  market  in a futures  contract  may be
adversely  affected  by "daily  price  fluctuation  limits"  established  by the
exchanges,  which  limit  the  amount of  fluctuation  in the price of a futures
contract  during a single  trading day and prohibit  trading  beyond such limits
once they have been reached. The trading of futures contracts also is subject to
the risk of trading halts,  suspensions,  exchange or clearing  house  equipment
failures,  government  intervention,  insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing
house or other disruptions of normal trading activity, which could at times make
it difficult or impossible to liquidate  existing positions or to recover excess
variation margin payments.

         Investments  in  futures  contracts  also  entail  the risk that if the
Adviser's  investment  judgment about the general direction of interest rates is
incorrect,  the  Fund's  overall  performance  may be  poorer  than if any  such
contract had not been entered into.  For example,  if a Fund hedged  against the
possibility  of an increase in interest rates which would  adversely  affect the
price of the Fund's bonds and interest  rates decrease  instead,  part or all of
the benefit of the increased value of the Fund's bonds which were hedged will be
lost because the Fund will have offsetting losses in its futures  positions.  In
addition,  in such situations,  if the Fund has insufficient  cash, the Fund may
have  to  sell  bonds  from  its  investments  to meet  daily  variation  margin
requirements,  possibly at a time when it may be  disadvantageous to do so. Such
sale of bonds may be, but will not  necessarily  be, at  increased  prices which
reflect the rising market.

         Each  contract  market  on  which  futures  contracts  are  traded  has
established a number of  limitations  governing the maximum  number of positions
which may be held by a trader,  whether  acting alone or in concert with others.
The Adviser does not believe that these  trading and position  limits would have
an adverse impact on a Fund's hedging strategies.

         CFTC regulations require that a Fund enter into transactions in futures
contracts  for hedging  purposes  only,  in order to assure that the Fund is not
deemed to be a "commodity  pool" under such  regulations.  In  particular,  CFTC
regulations require that all short futures positions be entered into in order to
hedge the value of Fund securities,  and that all long futures  positions either
constitute bona fide hedge transactions, as defined in such regulations, or have
a total value not in excess of an amount determined by reference to certain cash
and securities  positions  maintained by the Fund,  and accrued  profits on such
positions.  In addition,  the Fund may not purchase or sell such instruments if,
immediately thereafter,  the sum of the amount of initial deposits or margins on
the Fund's existing futures positions would exceed 5% of the market value of the
Fund's total assets.

         When a Fund  purchases  a futures  contract,  an amount of cash or cash
equivalents will be deposited in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian,
State  Street Bank and Trust  Company (the  "Custodian"),  so that the amount so
segregated,  plus the  initial and  variation  margin held in the account of the
Fund's  broker,  will at all  times  equal the  value of the  futures  contract,
thereby ensuring that the use of such futures is unleveraged.

         The ability to engage in the hedging transactions  described herein may
be limited by the current federal income tax requirement that less than 30% of a
Fund's gross income be derived  from the sale or other  disposition  of stock or
securities held for less than three months.

         The  Trustees of the Trust have  adopted the  requirement  that futures
contracts  only be used for the  Funds as a hedge  and not for  speculation.  In
addition  to this  requirement,  the  Board of  Trustees  has also  adopted  two
percentage  restrictions  on the use of futures  contracts.  The first is that a
Fund will not enter into a futures contract if immediately thereafter the amount
of margin deposits on all the futures contracts held by the Fund would exceed 5%
of the market value of the total assets of the Fund.  The second  restriction is
that the  aggregate  market  value of the futures  contracts  held by a Fund not
exceed  50% of the  market  value of the  Fund's  total  assets.  Neither of the
restrictions  would be changed  by the Board of  Trustees  as to a Fund  without
considering  the  policies  and  concerns  of  the  various  federal  and  state
regulatory agencies.

         The Trust did not enter into any Futures Contract for the New York Fund
within the past year and has no current intention of doing so in the foreseeable
future for either of the Funds.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

         Each of the Funds may purchase  securities on a  "when-issued"  or on a
"forward delivery" basis. It is expected that, under normal  circumstances,  the
applicable Fund would take delivery of such  securities.  When a Fund commits to
purchase a security on a "when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis, it sets
up  procedures  consistent  with  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")
policies.  Since those  policies  currently  require  that an amount of a Fund's
assets  equal to the amount of the  purchase be held aside or  segregated  to be
used  to  pay  for  the  commitment,  the  Fund  will  always  have  cash,  cash
equivalents, or high quality debt securities sufficient to cover any commitments
or to limit any potential risk. However,  even though the Funds do not intend to
make  such  purchases  for  speculative  purposes  and  intend  to adhere to the
provisions  of SEC  policies,  purchases of securities on such bases may involve
more risk than other types of  purchases.  For example,  a Fund may have to sell
assets  which  have been set aside in order to meet  redemptions.  Also,  if the
Adviser  determines it is advisable as a matter of  investment  strategy to sell
the "when-issued" or "forward delivery"  securities,  the Fund would be required
to meet  its  obligations  from  the  then  available  cash  flow or the sale of
securities, or, although it would not normally expect to do so, from the sale of
the "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities  themselves (which may have a
value greater or less than the Fund's payment obligation).

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS

         Investments in floating or variable rate  securities  normally  involve
industrial  development or revenue bonds which provide that the rate of interest
is set as a specific  percentage  of a  designated  base rate,  such as rates on
Treasury Bonds or Bills or the prime rate at a major commercial bank, and that a
bondholder  can demand  payment of the  obligations  on short notice at par plus
accrued  interest.  While there is usually no established  secondary  market for
issues  of this  type of  security,  the  dealer  that  sells  an  issue of such
securities  frequently also offers to repurchase such securities at any time, at
a  repurchase  price  which  varies  and may be more or less than the amount the
bondholder paid for them.

         The  maturity  of  floating or  variable  rate  obligations  (including
participation  interests  therein)  is deemed to be the longer of (i) the notice
period  required  before a Fund is entitled to receive payment of the obligation
upon demand or (ii) the period  remaining until the  obligation's  next interest
rate  adjustment.  If not  redeemed by a Fund  through the demand  feature,  the
obligations  mature on a specified  date which may range up to 30 years from the
date of issuance.

PARTICIPATION INTERESTS

         The Trust may purchase from banks on behalf of each Fund  participation
interests  in all or part of specific  holdings of  Municipal  Obligations.  The
Trust has the right to sell the participation interest back to the bank and draw
on the letter of credit or guarantee  for all or any part of the full  principal
amount of the participation interest in the security,  plus accrued interest. In
some cases, these rights may not be exercisable in the event of a default on the
underlying  Municipal  Obligations;  in these cases,  the  underlying  Municipal
Obligations  must meet the Funds' high credit  standards at the time of purchase
of the  participation  interests.  Each  participation  interest is backed by an
irrevocable  letter of credit or  guarantee of the selling  bank.  Participation
interests will only be purchased if in the opinion of counsel interest income on
such interests will be tax-exempt when  distributed as dividends to shareholders
of the  Funds.  The Trust will not invest  more than 5% of either  Fund's  total
assets  (taken  at the  greater  of  cost  or  market  value)  in  participation
interests. Participation interests include municipal lease obligations which are
deemed to be illiquid unless otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees.

         The Trust did not purchase any participation  interest for the New York
Fund  within the past year and has no current  intention  of doing so for either
Fund in the foreseeable future.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

         Consistent  with  applicable  regulatory  requirements  and in order to
generate income, each of the Funds may lend its securities to broker-dealers and
other  institutional  borrowers.  Such loans will usually be made only to member
banks of the U.S.  Federal  Reserve  System and to member  firms of the New York
Stock Exchange (and subsidiaries thereof).  Loans of securities would be secured
continuously  by  collateral  in  cash,  cash   equivalents  or  U.S.   Treasury
obligations  maintained  on a current  basis at an amount at least  equal to the
market value of the securities  loaned. The cash collateral would be invested in
high quality short-term instruments.  A Fund would have the right to call a loan
and obtain the securities  loaned at any time on customary  industry  settlement
notice  (which will not usually  exceed five days).  During the  existence  of a
loan,  a Fund would  continue  to receive  the  equivalent  of the  interest  or
dividends  paid by the issuer on the  securities  loaned and would also  receive
compensation  based on investment of the collateral.  A Fund would not, however,
have the right to vote any securities  having voting rights during the existence
of the loan, but would call the loan in  anticipation of an important vote to be
taken among holders of the  securities or of the giving or  withholding of their
consent on a material matter affecting the investment.  As with other extensions
of credit,  there are risks of delay in  recovery  or even loss of rights in the
collateral  should the borrower fail  financially.  However,  the loans would be
made only to entities deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing, and when, in
the judgment of the Adviser,  the  consideration  which can be earned  currently
from loans of this type justifies the attendant risk. If the Adviser  determines
to make loans,  it is not intended  that the value of the  securities  loaned by
either Fund would exceed 30% of the value of its total assets.

RULE 144A SECURITIES

         Each of the  Funds  may  purchase  securities  that are not  registered
("Rule  144A  securities")  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the  "Securities
Act"),  but can be offered and sold to  "qualified  institutional  buyers" under
Rule 144A under the Securities Act. However, the National Fund and New York Fund
will not  invest  more than 15% and 10%,  respectively,  of their net  assets in
illiquid  investments,  which include  securities  for which there is no readily
available market,  securities subject to contractual  restrictions on resale and
Rule 144A securities,  unless the Trustees of the Trust determine,  based on the
trading  markets  for a specific  Rule 144A  security,  that it is  liquid.  The
Trustees may adopt  guidelines and delegate to the Adviser the daily function of
determining  and  monitoring  liquidity of Rule 144A  securities.  The Trustees,
however, retain oversight and are ultimately responsible for the determinations.

         Since it is not  possible  to predict  with  assurance  exactly how the
market for Rule 144A  securities  will  develop,  the  Trustees  will  carefully
monitor  each  Fund's  investments  in Rule 144A  securities,  focusing  on such
factors, among others, as valuation,  liquidity and availability of information.
The  liquidity  of  investments  in Rule 144A  securities  could be  impaired if
trading in Rule 144A securities  does not develop or if qualified  institutional
buyers become for a time uninterested in purchasing Rule 144A securities.

SPECIAL FACTORS AFFECTING NEW YORK

         The Trust  intends to invest a high  proportion  of the New York Fund's
assets  in  Municipal  Obligations  of the  State of New York and its  political
subdivisions,    municipalities,    agencies,   instrumentalities   and   public
authorities. Payment of interest and preservation of principal is dependent upon
the continuing  ability of New York issuers and/or obligors of state,  municipal
and public authority debt obligations to meet their obligations thereunder.

         The fiscal stability of New York State is related, at least in part, to
the fiscal stability of its localities and authorities.  Various State agencies,
authorities  and localities  have issued large amounts of bonds and notes either
guaranteed or supported by the State through lease-purchase arrangements,  other
contractual  arrangements or moral obligation provisions.  While debt service is
normally  paid out of revenues  generated  by  projects of such State  agencies,
authorities and localities,  the State has had to provide special  assistance in
recent  years,  in some cases of a recurring  nature,  to enable such  agencies,
authorities  and  localities to meet their  financial  obligations  and, in some
cases,  to prevent or cure  defaults.  To the extent  State  agencies  and local
governments  require State assistance to meet their financial  obligations,  the
ability of the State to meet its own obligations as they become due or to obtain
additional financing could be adversely affected.

                            INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS

         The Trust,  on behalf of each Fund, has adopted the following  policies
which cannot be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the
applicable  Fund's  shares  (which,  as  used in this  Statement  of  Additional
Information,  means the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of
the Fund, or (ii) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund present at a
meeting at which holders of more than 50% of the Fund's  outstanding  shares are
represented in person or by proxy).

         The Trust, on behalf of either of the Funds, may not:

         (1) Borrow money or pledge, mortgage or hypothecate assets of the Fund,
except that as a temporary  measure for  extraordinary or emergency  purposes it
may borrow in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the current value of the Fund's net
assets,  including the amount borrowed, and may pledge,  mortgage or hypothecate
not more than 1/3 of such assets to secure such  borrowings (it is intended that
money would be borrowed only from banks and only to accommodate requests for the
repurchase  of shares of the Fund  while  effecting  an orderly  liquidation  of
portfolio  securities),  provided that collateral  arrangements  with respect to
futures  contracts,  including deposits of initial and variation margin, are not
considered a pledge of assets for purposes of this  restriction;  for additional
related  restrictions,  see clause  (i) under the  caption  "State  and  Federal
Restrictions" hereafter;

         (2) Purchase  any  security or evidence of interest  therein on margin,
except that the Trust may obtain such  short-term  credit for the Fund as may be
necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities and except that
deposits of initial and variation  margin may be made for the Fund in connection
with the purchase, ownership, holding or sale of futures contracts;

         (3) Write,  purchase or sell any put or call option or any  combination
thereof,  provided  that this shall not prevent (i) the writing,  purchasing  or
selling of puts, calls or combinations  thereof with respect to U.S.  Government
securities or with respect to futures contracts, or (ii) the writing,  purchase,
ownership, holding or sale of futures contracts;

         (4) Underwrite securities issued by other persons except insofar as the
Trust may technically be deemed an underwriter  under the Securities Act of 1933
in selling a portfolio security for a Fund (provided, however, that the National
Fund may invest all of its assets in an open-end  management  investment company
with the same  investment  objective  and  policies and  substantially  the same
investment restrictions as the Fund (a "Qualifying Portfolio"));

         (5) Make loans to other  persons  except (a) through the lending of the
Fund's  portfolio  securities and provided that any such loans not exceed 30% of
the  Fund's  total  assets  (taken  at market  value),  (b)  through  the use of
repurchase  agreements  or the purchase of short-term  obligations  and provided
that not  more  than 10% of the New York  Fund's  total  assets,  and 15% of the
National Fund's total assets, will be invested in repurchase agreements maturing
in more than  seven  days,  or (c) by  purchasing  a portion of an issue of debt
securities of types commonly  distributed  privately to financial  institutions,
for which purposes the purchase of short-term  commercial  paper or a portion of
an issue of debt  securities  which are part of an issue to the public shall not
be considered the making of a loan;

         (6) With  respect  to the New  York  Fund  only,  knowingly  invest  in
securities  which are  subject to legal or  contractual  restrictions  on resale
(other than repurchase agreements maturing in not more than seven days) if, as a
result  thereof,  more than 10% of the New York Fund's  total  assets  (taken at
market value) would be so invested (including  repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days);

         (7)  Purchase  or  sell  real  estate  (including  limited  partnership
interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests therein),
interests  in oil, gas or mineral  leases,  commodities  or commodity  contracts
(except  futures  contracts)  in the  ordinary  course of  business  (the  Trust
reserves the freedom of action to hold for the Fund's portfolio and to sell real
estate acquired as a result of ownership of securities);

         (8) With respect to the New York Fund only,  purchase securities of any
issuer if such  purchase  at the time  thereof  would cause more than 10% of the
voting securities of such issuer to be held by the New York Fund;

         (9) Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position, unless
at all times when a short  position  is open the  Trust,  on behalf of the Fund,
owns an equal  amount  of such  securities  or  securities  convertible  into or
exchangeable,  without payment of any further  consideration,  for securities of
the same issue as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless
not more than 10% of the Fund's net  assets  (taken at market  value) is held as
collateral  for  such  sales at any one time  (it is the  present  intention  of
management to make such sales only for the purpose of deferring  realization  of
gain or loss for federal  income tax  purposes;  such sales would not be made of
securities subject to outstanding options);

         (10) Concentrate the Fund's investments in any particular industry, but
if it is  deemed  appropriate  for  the  achievement  of the  Fund's  investment
objective,  up to 25% of the Fund's assets,  at market value at the time of each
investment,  may be  invested in any one  industry,  except  that  positions  in
futures  contracts shall not be subject to this  restriction and except that all
of the assets of the National Fund may be invested in a Qualifying Portfolio; or

         (11)  Issue any  senior  security  (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) if such  issuance is  specifically  prohibited by the 1940 Act or the rules
and regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  provided that collateral arrangements
with respect to futures  contracts,  including deposits of initial and variation
margin,  are not considered to be the issuance of a senior security for purposes
of this restriction.

         For purposes of the  investment  restrictions  described  above and the
state and  federal  restrictions  described  below,  the issuer of a  tax-exempt
security is deemed to be the entity (public or private)  ultimately  responsible
for the payment of the principal of and interest on the security.

STATE AND FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS

         In  order to  comply  with  certain  state  and  federal  statutes  and
policies,  the Trust on behalf of either Fund does not, as a matter of operating
policy:

         (i) borrow  money for any purpose in excess of 10% of the Fund's  total
assets (taken at cost) (moreover, the Trust will not purchase any securities for
the Fund at any time at which  borrowings  exceed 5% of the Fund's  total assets
(taken at market value)),

         (ii) pledge,  mortgage or hypothecate  for any purpose in excess of 10%
of the Fund's net  assets  (taken at market  value),  provided  that  collateral
arrangements with respect to futures  contracts,  including  deposits of initial
and variation margin, are not considered a pledge of assets for purposes of this
restriction,

         (iii) sell any  security  which it does not own unless by virtue of its
ownership  of other  securities  it has at the  time of sale a right  to  obtain
securities,  without  payment of further  consideration,  equivalent in kind and
amount to the securities sold and provided that if such right is conditional the
sale is made upon the same conditions,

         (iv) invest for the purpose of exercising control or management, except
that all of the assets of the  National  Fund may be  invested  in a  Qualifying
Portfolio,

         (v) purchase  securities issued by any registered  investment  company,
except  that  all of the  assets  of the  National  Fund  may be  invested  in a
Qualifying  Portfolio  and  except  by  purchase  in the  open  market  where no
commission  or profit to a sponsor or dealer  results from such  purchase  other
than the customary broker's commission, or except when such purchase, though not
made in the open market, is part of a plan of merger or consolidation, provided,
however,  that the Trust will not  purchase  the  securities  of any  registered
investment company for the Fund if such purchase at the time thereof would cause
more than 10% of the Fund's total assets (taken at the greater of cost or market
value) to be invested in the securities of such issuers or would cause more than
3% of the  outstanding  voting  securities of any such issuer to be held for the
Fund;  and provided,  further,  that the Trust,  on behalf of the New York Fund,
shall not purchase securities issued by any open-end investment company,

         (vi) invest more than 15% of the National  Fund's net assets and 10% of
the New York Fund's net assets (taken at the greater of cost or market value) in
securities that are not readily marketable, except that all of the assets of the
National Fund may be invested in a Qualifying Portfolio,

         (vii)  purchase  securities  of any issuer if such purchase at the time
thereof would cause the Fund to hold more than 10% of any class of securities of
such issuer,  for which purposes all indebtedness of an issuer shall be deemed a
single  class  and all  preferred  stock of an  issuer  shall be deemed a single
class,  except that all of the assets of the National  Fund may be invested in a
Qualifying  Portfolio and except that futures  contracts shall not be subject to
this restriction,

         (viii)  invest more than 5% of the Fund's  assets in  companies  which,
including  predecessors,  have a record of less  than  three  years'  continuous
operation, except that all of the assets of the National Fund may be invested in
a Qualifying Portfolio, or

         (ix) purchase or retain in the Fund's  portfolio any securities  issued
by an issuer any of whose officers,  directors,  trustees or security holders is
an officer or Trustee of the Trust, or is an officer or director of the Adviser,
if after the purchase of the  securities of such issuer for the Fund one or more
of  such  persons  owns  beneficially  more  than  1/2  of 1% of the  shares  or
securities, or both, all taken at market value, of such issuer, and such persons
owning  more  than  1/2  of  1%  of  such  shares  or  securities  together  own
beneficially  more than 5% of such shares or  securities,  or both, all taken at
market value.

         These policies are not  fundamental  and may be changed by the Trust on
behalf of the Fund  without  shareholder  approval in response to changes in the
various state and federal requirements.

PERCENTAGE AND RATING RESTRICTIONS

         If a percentage  restriction on investment or utilization of assets set
forth  above or  referred  to in the  Prospectus  is  adhered  to at the time an
investment  is made or assets  are so  utilized,  a later  change in  percentage
resulting  from  changes in the value of the  securities  held for a Fund is not
considered a violation of policy.

                           3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

         A total  rate of  return  quotation  for a Fund is  calculated  for any
period by (a)  dividing (i) the sum of the net asset value per share on the last
day of the  period  and the net  asset  value  per  share on the last day of the
period of shares  purchasable  with  dividends and capital  gains  distributions
declared  during such period with  respect to a share held at the  beginning  of
such period and with respect to shares purchased with such dividends and capital
gains  distributions,  by (ii) the public  offering price per share on the first
day of such period,  and (b) subtracting 1 from the result. Any annualized total
rate of return  quotation is calculated by (x) adding 1 to the period total rate
of return quotation  calculated  above, (y) raising such sum to a power which is
equal to 365 divided by the number of days in such period, and (z) subtracting 1
from the result.  Total rates of return may also be calculated on investments at
various sales charge levels or at net asset value. Any performance data which is
based on a reduced  sales  charge or net asset  value  would be  reduced  if the
maximum sales charge were taken into account.

         Any  current  yield  quotation  of a  Fund  consists  of an  annualized
historical  yield,  carried at least to the nearest  hundredth  of one  percent,
based on a 30 calendar day or one month period and is  calculated by (a) raising
to the sixth  power the sum of 1 plus the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  the
Fund's net  investment  income  earned  during the period by the  product of the
average daily number of shares  outstanding during the period that were entitled
to receive dividends and the maximum public offering price per share on the last
day of the period,  (b)  subtracting 1 from the result,  and (c) multiplying the
result by 2.

         Any tax equivalent  yield quotation of a Fund is calculated as follows:
If the entire  current yield  quotation for such period is  tax-exempt,  the tax
equivalent  yield  would be the  current  yield  quotation  divided by 1 minus a
stated income tax rate or rates.  If a portion of the current yield quotation is
not tax-exempt, the tax equivalent yield would be the sum of (a) that portion of
the yield  which is  tax-exempt  divided by 1 minus a stated  income tax rate or
rates, and (b) the portion of the yield which is not tax-exempt.

         Set forth below is total rate of return  information for Class A shares
of the New York Fund for the periods  indicated,  assuming  that  dividends  and
capital gains distributions,  if any, were reinvested, and that at the beginning
of such  periods  the  maximum  sales  charge  of 4.00% had been  applicable  to
purchases of shares of the Fund.

September 8, 1986 (commencement of
 operations) to December 31, 1994         5.46%                   $1,556.69
Five years ended  December 31, 1994       5.01%                   $1,276.78
One year ended  December 31, 1994       (11.16)%                  $  888.36

         The New York Fund's yield with respect to Class A shares for the 30-day
period ended December 31, 1994 was 5.69%.

         The New York Fund's tax  equivalent  yield for the 30-day  period ended
December 31, 1994 was 10.71%  (assuming (i) a combined New York State,  New York
City and federal tax bracket of 46.88% and (ii) that 100% of the New York Fund's
assets were invested in New York Municipal Obligations).

         Comparative  performance  information  may be used from time to time in
advertising shares of the Funds, including data from Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc. and other industry sources and  publications.  From time to time a Fund may
compare  its  performance  against  inflation  with  the  performance  of  other
instruments against inflation,  such as FDIC-insured bank money market accounts.
In  addition,  advertising  for the Funds may  indicate  that  investors  should
consider diversifying their investment portfolios in order to seek protection of
the value of their  assets  against  inflation.  From time to time,  advertising
materials  for the Funds may refer to or  discuss  current or past  economic  or
financial conditions, developments and events.

         From time to time, each Fund may use hypothetical tax equivalent yields
or charts in their advertising. These hypothetical yields or charts will be used
for  illustrative  purposes only and are not indicative of either Fund's past or
future performance.

               4. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE; VALUATION OF
           SECURITIES; ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

         The net  asset  value  of each  share  of each  class  of each  Fund is
determined each day during which the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is
open for trading.  As of the date of this  Statement of Additional  Information,
the Exchange is open for trading every weekday except for the following holidays
(or the days on which they are observed):  New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday,  Memorial  Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor  Day,  Thanksgiving  Day  and
Christmas  Day.  This  determination  is made  once  each day as of the close of
regular trading on the Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) by adding the
market  value of all  securities  and other  assets  attributable  to a class of
shares of a Fund, then  subtracting the  liabilities  charged to the class,  and
then dividing the result by the number of outstanding  shares of the class.  Per
share net asset value of the two  classes of each Fund's  shares can be expected
to differ  because the Class B shares bear higher  expenses than Class A shares.
The net asset  value per share of each class of shares is  effective  for orders
received and accepted by the Distributor prior to its calculation.

         Bonds  and  other  fixed  income   securities  (other  than  short-term
obligations) held for each Fund are valued on the basis of valuations  furnished
by a pricing  service,  use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.
In making such  valuations,  the pricing service  utilizes both  dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic  data  processing  techniques  which take into account
appropriate  factors  such as  institutional-size  trading in similar  groups of
securities,  yield,  quality,  coupon  rate,  maturity,  type of issue,  trading
characteristics  and other market data,  without exclusive  reliance upon quoted
prices or  exchange  or  over-the-counter  prices,  since  such  valuations  are
believed  to  reflect  more  accurately  the  fair  value  of  such  securities.
Short-term  obligations  (maturing  in 60 days or less) are valued at  amortized
cost,  which  constitutes  fair value as  determined  by the Board of  Trustees.
Futures contracts are normally valued at the settlement price on the exchange on
which they are traded.  Securities  for which there are no such  valuations  are
valued at fair value as  determined  in good faith by or at the direction of the
Board of Trustees.

         Interest  income  on  long-term  obligations  held  for  the  Funds  is
determined on the basis of interest accrued plus amortization of "original issue
discount"  (generally,  the difference between issue price and stated redemption
price at maturity) and premiums  (generally,  the excess of purchase  price over
stated redemption price at maturity).  Interest income on short-term obligations
is determined on the basis of interest accrued less amortization of premium.

         Subject  to  compliance  with  applicable  regulations,  the  Trust has
reserved the right to pay the  redemption or  repurchase  price of shares of the
Funds,  either  totally  or  partially,  by a  distribution  in kind of  readily
marketable  securities (instead of cash). The securities so distributed would be
valued at the same amount as that assigned to them in calculating  the net asset
value for the shares or beneficial  interests  being sold. If a holder of shares
or beneficial interests received a distribution in kind, such holder could incur
brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash.

         The Trust may suspend the right of  redemption  or postpone the date of
payment  for shares of a Fund more than seven  days  during any period  when (a)
trading  in  the  markets  the  Fund  normally  utilizes  is  restricted,  or an
emergency,  as defined by the rules and  regulations  of the SEC,  exists making
disposal of a Fund's  investments  or  determination  of its net asset value not
reasonably practicable; (b) the Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings); or (c) the SEC has by order permitted such suspension.

LETTER OF INTENT

         If an  investor  anticipates  purchasing  $100,000  or more of  Class A
shares of a Fund alone or in combination  with Class B shares of the Fund or any
of the classes of other  Landmark Funds within a 13-month  period,  the investor
may obtain  such  shares at the same  reduced  sales  charge as though the total
quantity  were  invested in one lump sum by completing a Letter of Intent on the
terms  described  below.  Subject  to  acceptance  by the  Distributor  and  the
conditions  mentioned  below,  each purchase  will be made at a public  offering
price  applicable to a single  transaction of the dollar amount specified in the
Letter of Intent. The shareholder or his or her Shareholder Servicing Agent must
inform the  Distributor  that the Letter of Intent is in effect each time shares
are  purchased.  The  shareholder  makes no  commitment  to purchase  additional
shares,  but if his or her  purchases  within 13 months plus the value of shares
credited  toward  completion  of the  Letter  of  Intent  do not  total  the sum
specified,  an increased sales charge will apply as described  below. A purchase
not  originally  made  pursuant  to a Letter of Intent may be  included  under a
subsequent  Letter of Intent  executed  within 90 days of such  purchase  if the
Distributor is informed in writing of this intent within such 90-day period. The
value of shares of a Fund  presently  held,  at cost or maximum  offering  price
(whichever  is higher),  on the date of the first  purchase  under the Letter of
Intent,  may be included as a credit toward the  completion of such Letter,  but
the reduced  sales  charge  applicable  to the amount  covered by such Letter is
applied only to new purchases.  Instructions  for issuance of shares in the name
of a person  other  than  the  person  signing  the  Letter  of  Intent  must be
accompanied by a written statement from the Shareholder  Servicing Agent stating
that the shares were paid for by the person signing such Letter.  Neither income
dividends nor capital gain  distributions  taken in additional shares will apply
toward the completion of the Letter of Intent.  The value of any shares redeemed
or otherwise  disposed of by the purchaser prior to termination or completion of
the  Letter of Intent  are  deducted  from the total  purchases  made under such
Letter of Intent.

         If the  investment  specified in the Letter of Intent is not  completed
(either  prior  to or by the  end  of  the  13-month  period),  the  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent will redeem,  within 20 days of the expiration of the Letter of
Intent,  an appropriate  number of the shares in order to realize the difference
between the reduced  sales charge that would apply if the  investment  under the
Letter of Intent had been  completed  and the sales  charge that would  normally
apply to the number of shares actually purchased.  By completing and signing the
Letter of Intent, the shareholder irrevocably appoints the Shareholder Servicing
Agent  his or  her  attorney  to  surrender  for  redemption  any or all  shares
purchased  under the  Letter of Intent  with full power of  substitution  in the
premises.

RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION

         A  shareholder  qualifies  for  cumulative  quantity  discounts  on the
purchase of Class A shares  when his or her new  investment,  together  with the
current offering price value of all holdings of that shareholder in the Landmark
Funds, reaches a discount level. See "Purchases" in the Prospectus for the sales
charges on quantity  discounts.  For example,  if a Fund shareholder owns shares
valued at $100,000 and purchases an additional  $50,000 of Class A shares of the
Fund,  the sales charge for the $50,000  purchase  would be at the rate of 3.25%
(the  rate  applicable  to  single  transactions  from  $100,000  to  less  than
$250,000).  A  shareholder  must provide the  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent with
information to verify that the quantity  sales charge  discount is applicable at
the time the investment is made.

                                 5. MANAGEMENT

         The Trustees and officers of the Trust also hold  comparable  positions
with  certain  other  funds  for  which  LFBDS  or its  affiliates  serve as the
distributor or administrator.

         As of February  28,  1995,  all  Trustees and officers as a group owned
less  than 1% of the  outstanding  shares of the New York  Fund.  As of the same
date, more than 95% of the outstanding  shares of the New York Fund were held of
record by Citibank, N.A., or its affiliates,  as Shareholder Servicing Agents of
the Fund for the accounts of their respective clients. No shares of the National
Fund were outstanding as of February 28, 1995.

         The  Declaration  of Trust of the Trust  provides  that the Trust  will
indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in
connection  with  litigation  in which  they may be  involved  because  of their
offices with the Trust unless, as to liability to the Trust or its investors, it
is finally  adjudicated  that they  engaged in willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless  disregard of the duties involved in their offices,
or unless with respect to any other matter it is finally  adjudicated  that they
did not act in good faith in the  reasonable  belief that their  actions were in
the best interests of the Trust. In the case of settlement, such indemnification
will not be  provided  unless it has been  determined  by a court or other  body
approving the settlement or other disposition, or by a reasonable determination,
based  upon a review  of  readily  available  facts,  by vote of a  majority  of
disinterested  Trustees  of the Trust,  or in a written  opinion of  independent
counsel, that such officers or Trustees have not engaged in willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their duties.

ADVISER

         Citibank   manages  the  assets  of  each  Fund  pursuant  to  separate
investment  advisory  agreements  (the "Advisory  Agreements").  Subject to such
policies  as the Board of  Trustees  may  determine,  the  Adviser  manages  the
securities  of each Fund and  makes  investment  decisions  for each  Fund.  The
Adviser  furnishes at its own expense all  services,  facilities  and  personnel
necessary in  connection  with managing  each Fund's  investments  and effecting
securities  transactions  for each Fund.  Each Advisory  Agreement  continues in
effect as long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by
the Board of  Trustees  or by a vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities  of the Fund,  and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who
are not parties to the  Advisory  Agreement  or  interested  persons of any such
party, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement.

         Each of the Advisory  Agreements  provides  that the Adviser may render
services to others. Each Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty on not
more  than 60 days'  nor less than 30 days'  written  notice  by the Trust  when
authorized  either by a vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting securities
of the applicable  Fund or by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees,  or
by the Adviser on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written  notice,
and will automatically  terminate in the event of its assignment.  Each Advisory
Agreement  provides that neither the Adviser nor its  personnel  shall be liable
for any error of judgment  or mistake of law or for any loss  arising out of any
investment  or for any act or omission in the  execution  and  management of the
applicable Fund, except for willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence
or reckless  disregard of its or their obligations and duties under the Advisory
Agreement.

         The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of the fees  payable  to the
Adviser for services  under the Advisory  Agreements.  The Adviser has agreed to
waive a portion of the fees  payable to it under the  Advisory  Agreements  on a
month-to-month  basis.  For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1992 and 1993, for
the  four-month  period  ended  December  31, 1993 and for the fiscal year ended
December  31,  1994,  the fees  payable to the Adviser by the New York Fund were
$385,811,  $372,914, $155,418 and $421,226 (of which $172,845, $218,289, $80,195
and $229,257 were voluntarily waived), respectively.

ADMINISTRATOR

         Pursuant to an administrative  services agreement (the  "Administrative
Services  Agreement"),  LFBDS provides the Trust with general office  facilities
and LFBDS supervises the overall administration of the Trust,  including,  among
other  responsibilities,  the  negotiation  of contracts and fees with,  and the
monitoring of performance and billings of, the Trust's  independent  contractors
and agents;  the preparation and filing of all documents required for compliance
by the  Trust  with  applicable  laws and  regulations;  and  arranging  for the
maintenance  of books and  records  of the  Trust.  The  Administrator  provides
persons  satisfactory to the Board of Trustees of the Trust to serve as Trustees
and officers of the Trust. Such Trustees and officers,  as well as certain other
employees and Trustees of the Trust, may be directors,  officers or employees of
LFBDS or its affiliates.

         The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of the fees  payable  to the
Administrator under the Administrative Services Agreement. The Administrator has
voluntarily  agreed  to waive a  portion  of the fees  payable  to it under  the
Administrative  Services  Agreement on a  month-to-month  basis.  For the fiscal
years  ended  August 31, 1992 and 1993,  the fees  payable to LFBDS from the New
York Fund under the Administrative Services Agreement and a prior administrative
services agreement with the Trust were $78,952 (of which $58,402 was voluntarily
waived) and $186,457 (of which $35,356 was  voluntarily  waived),  respectively.
For the four-month period ended December 31, 1993, the fee payable to LFBDS from
the New York Fund under the  Administrative  Services  Agreement was $77,709 (of
which $10,688 was  voluntarily  waived).  For the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994,  the fee payable to LFBDS from the New York Fund under the  Administrative
Services Agreement was $210,613 (of which $58,225 was voluntarily waived).

         The Administrative  Services Agreement with the Trust acknowledges that
the names "Landmark" and "Landmark Funds" are the property of the  Administrator
and provides  that if LFBDS ceases to serve as the  Administrator  of the Trust,
the Trust  would  change  its name and the name of the Funds so as to delete the
word  "Landmark" or the words  "Landmark  Funds".  The  Administrative  Services
Agreement  with the Trust also  provides  that  LFBDS may render  administrative
services to others and may permit  other  investment  companies  to use the word
"Landmark" or the words "Landmark Funds" in their names.

         The  Administrative  Services  Agreement  with the Trust  continues  in
effect with respect to each Fund if such continuance is specifically approved at
least  annually by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority
of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the Trust and, in either case,  by a
majority  of the  Trustees  who are not parties to the  Administrative  Services
Agreement or interested persons of any such party. The  Administrative  Services
Agreement with the Trust  terminates  automatically if it is assigned and may be
terminated  without  penalty by vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities  of the Trust or by  either  party on not more than 60 days' nor less
than 30 days' written notice.  The  Administrative  Services  Agreement with the
Trust also provides that neither LFBDS, as the Administrator,  nor its personnel
shall be liable  for any error of  judgment  or mistake of law or for any act or
omission in the  administration  or management of the Trust,  except for willful
misfeasance,  bad faith or gross  negligence in the  performance of its or their
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its or their obligations and duties
under the Administrative Services Agreement.

         LFBDS is wholly-owned subsidiary of Signature Financial Group, Inc.

         Pursuant to a sub-administrative services agreement,  Citibank performs
such  sub-administrative  duties  for the Trust as from time to time are  agreed
upon by Citibank  and LFBDS.  Citibank's  sub-administrative  duties may include
providing equipment and clerical personnel necessary for maintaining the Trust's
organization,  participation  in  the  preparation  of  documents  required  for
compliance by the Trust with applicable laws and regulations, the preparation of
certain documents in connection with meetings of Trustees and shareholders,  and
other  functions which would  otherwise be performed by the  Administrator.  For
performing such sub-administrative  services,  Citibank receives compensation as
from  time to time is  agreed  upon by  Citibank  and LFBDS not in excess of the
amount  paid to  LFBDS  for  its  services  under  the  Administrative  Services
Agreement with the Trust. All such compensation is paid by LFBDS.

DISTRIBUTOR

         LFBDS  serves as the  Distributor  of each  Fund's  shares  pursuant to
Distribution  Agreements  with the Trust with respect to each class of shares of
each Fund. Unless otherwise  terminated,  the Distribution  Agreements remain in
effect from year to year upon annual  approval by the Trust's Board of Trustees,
or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Trust
and by the vote of a majority  of the Board of Trustees of the Trust who are not
parties to the  Agreements  or  interested  persons of any such  party,  cast in
person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose of voting on such  approval.  Each
Distribution Agreement will terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined
in the 1940 Act.

         The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (each a "Distribution  Plan")
in  accordance  with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each class of
shares of the Funds after concluding that there is a reasonable  likelihood that
the  Distribution  Plans  will  benefit  each  Fund  and its  shareholders.  The
Distribution  Plan with respect to Class A shares  provides that each Fund shall
pay a distribution  fee to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.05%
of the average daily net assets  represented  by Class A shares for the National
Fund and 0.15% of the average daily net assets represented by Class A shares for
the New York Fund. The Distribution Plan with respect to Class B shares provides
that each Fund will pay the Distributor a distribution fee at an annual rate not
to exceed 0.75% of the Fund's  average daily net assets  represented  by Class B
shares.  The Distributor  receives the distribution  fees for its services under
the  Distribution  Agreements in connection with the distribution of each Fund's
shares of each class  (exclusive  of any  advertising  expenses  incurred by the
Distributor  in  connection  with the sale of Class A shares of each Fund).  The
Distributor  may use all or any  portion  of such  distribution  fees to pay for
expenses of printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes,  expenses
of the preparation and printing of sales literature,  commissions to dealers who
sell shares of the applicable class of the Funds and other  distribution-related
expenses.

         The National  Fund is permitted  to pay the  Distributor  a service fee
with  respect to the Class A shares at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the
National Fund's average daily net assets represented by Class A shares, and both
Funds are  permitted  to pay the  Distributor  an  additional  service  fee with
respect  to the  Class B shares at an  annual  rate not to exceed  0.25% of each
Fund's average daily net assets represented by Class B shares.

         The  Distribution  Plan with respect to the Class A shares also permits
the Funds to pay the  Distributor  an additional fee (not to exceed 0.05% of the
average  daily  net  assets  of the Class A  shares)  in  anticipation  of or as
reimbursement  for print or electronic media  advertising  expenses  incurred in
connection with the sale of Class A shares.

         The  Distribution  Plans  continue  in  effect if such  continuance  is
specifically  approved  at least  annually  by a vote of both a majority  of the
Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons"
of the  Trust  and who have no  direct or  indirect  financial  interest  in the
operation of the  Distribution  Plans or in any  agreement  related to the Plans
(for purposes of this paragraph  "Qualified  Trustees").  Each Distribution Plan
requires  that the Trust and the  Distributor  provide to the Board of Trustees,
and the Board of Trustees review,  at least  quarterly,  a written report of the
amounts expended (and the purposes  therefor) under the Distribution  Plan. Each
Distribution  Plan further  provides that the  selection  and  nomination of the
Qualified Trustees is committed to the discretion of the disinterested  Trustees
(as  defined  in the 1940 Act) then in  office.  The  Distribution  Plans may be
terminated  with  respect to any class of shares of either Fund at any time by a
vote of a majority of the Trust's Qualified  Trustees or by a vote of a majority
of the  outstanding  voting  securities of that class of shares of the Fund. The
Distribution  Plan  applicable  to a class of shares  of either  Fund may not be
amended  to  increase  materially  the  amount  of a Fund's  permitted  expenses
thereunder  without the approval of a majority of the outstanding  securities of
that class of shares of that Fund and may not be materially  amended in any case
without a vote of a majority of both the Trustees and  Qualified  Trustees.  The
Distributor will preserve copies of any plan,  agreement or report made pursuant
to each  Distribution Plan for a period of not less than six years from the date
of the Plan,  and for the first two years the  Distributor  will  preserve  such
copies in an easily accessible place.

         As contemplated by the Distribution  Plans,  LFBDS acts as the agent of
the Trust in connection with the offering of shares of the Funds pursuant to the
Distribution  Agreements.  After the  prospectuses  and periodic  reports of the
Funds have been prepared, set in type and mailed to existing  shareholders,  the
Distributor  pays for the printing and  distribution of copies thereof which are
used in  connection  with the  offering  of shares  of the Funds to  prospective
investors.  The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of  fees  payable  to the
Distributor under the Distribution Agreements. For the fiscal years ended August
31, 1992 and August 31, 1993, for the four-month  period ended December 31, 1993
and for the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1994,  the fees  payable to the
Distributor from the New York Fund under a prior distribution  agreement and the
Distribution  Agreement were $118,429 (of which $42,114 was voluntarily waived),
$46,614  (all of which  was  voluntarily  waived),  $19,427  (all of  which  was
voluntarily  waived)  and  $52,653  (all  of  which  was  voluntarily   waived),
respectively,  no portion of which was applicable to reimbursement  for expenses
incurred in connection with print or electronic media advertising.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

         The  Trust  has   adopted   an   administrative   services   plan  (the
"Administrative   Services  Plan")  after  having  concluded  that  there  is  a
reasonable  likelihood  that the  Administrative  Services Plan will benefit the
Funds and their shareholders. The Administrative Services Plan provides that the
Trust may obtain the services of an administrator, a transfer agent, a custodian
and one or more  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents,  and may enter into  agreements
providing for the payment of fees for such  services.  Under the  Administrative
Services  Plan,  the  total  of  the  fees  paid  from a  Fund  to  the  Trust's
Administrator  and  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents may not  exceed  0.65% of the
Fund's  average  daily  net  assets  on  an  annualized  basis  for  the  Fund's
then-current  fiscal year. Any distribution  fees (other than any fee concerning
electronic or other media  advertising)  payable under the Distribution Plan for
the  Class A  shares  of the New  York  Fund  are  included  in this  percentage
limitation for those shares.  This limitation with respect to the Class A shares
of the National  Fund and with respect to the Class B shares of each Fund,  does
not include any amounts  payable under the  Distribution  Plans for such shares.
Within this overall  limitation,  individual  fees may vary. The  Administrative
Services Plan continues in effect if such  continuance is specifically  approved
at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Trustees and a majority of
the  Trustees  who are not  "interested  persons"  of the  Trust and who have no
direct or indirect  financial  interest in the  operation of the  Administrative
Services  Plan or in any  agreement  related to such Plan (for  purposes of this
paragraph "Qualified Trustees").  The Administrative Services Plan requires that
the Trust provide to its Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees review,  at
least  quarterly,  a written  report of the amounts  expended  (and the purposes
therefor) under the Administrative  Services Plan. The  Administrative  Services
Plan may be  terminated  at any time by a vote of a  majority  of the  Qualified
Trustees  of the  Trust  or as to  each  Fund  by a vote  of a  majority  of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The Administrative  Services Plan may
not be  amended  to  increase  materially  the  amount  of the New  York  Fund's
permitted  expenses  thereunder  without  the  approval  of a  majority  of  the
outstanding  voting  securities  of the New York Fund and may not be  materially
amended in any case  without a vote of the majority of both the Trustees and the
Qualified Trustees.

         The  Trust  has  entered  into a  shareholder  servicing  agreement  (a
"Servicing  Agreement")  with each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent and a Transfer
Agency and Custodian  Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State
Street") pursuant to which State Street acts as transfer agent and custodian for
each Fund. See "Shareholder Servicing Agents" and "Transfer Agent and Custodian"
in the Prospectus for  additional  information,  including a description of fees
paid to the Shareholder Servicing Agents under the Servicing Agreements. For the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1993, aggregate fees payable from the New York Fund
to  Shareholder   Servicing   Agents  were  $372,914  (of  which  $139,843  were
voluntarily  waived).  For  the  four-month  period  ended  December  31,  1993,
aggregate  fees payable from the New York Fund to Shareholder  Servicing  Agents
were $155,418 (of which $58,282 were  voluntarily  waived).  For the fiscal year
ended  December  31,  1994,  aggregate  fees  payable  from the New York Fund to
Shareholder  Servicing  Agents were $421,226 (of which $157,960 was  voluntarily
waived).

         The principal  business address of State Street is 225 Franklin Street,
Boston, MA 02110.

AUDITORS

         Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent  certified public accountants
for the Trust,  providing  audit services and assistance and  consultation  with
respect to the  preparation  of filings  with the SEC. The address of Deloitte &
Touche LLP is 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

                           6. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         The  Trust  trades  securities  for  a  Fund  if  it  believes  that  a
transaction  net of costs  (including  custodian  charges) will help achieve the
Fund's investment  objectives.  Changes in a Fund's investments are made without
regard to the length of time a security  has been held,  or whether a sale would
result in the recognition of a profit or loss.  Therefore,  the rate of turnover
is not a limiting  factor when changes are  appropriate.  The turnover  rate for
each Fund is expected to be approximately  150% annually.  Specific decisions to
purchase or sell securities for the Funds are made by a portfolio manager who is
an employee of the Adviser and who is  appointed  and  supervised  by its senior
officers.  The  portfolio  manager may serve  other  clients of the Adviser in a
similar capacity.

         The primary consideration in placing portfolio securities  transactions
with  broker-dealers for execution is to obtain and maintain the availability of
execution  at  the  most  favorable  prices  and in the  most  effective  manner
possible.   The   Adviser   attempts  to  achieve   this  result  by   selecting
broker-dealers to execute  transactions on behalf of each Fund and other clients
of the  Adviser  on the basis of their  professional  capability,  the value and
quality  of  their  brokerage  services,   and  the  level  of  their  brokerage
commissions.  In the case of securities  traded in the  over-the-counter  market
(where no stated  commissions  are paid but the prices include a dealer's markup
or  markdown),  the Adviser  normally  seeks to deal  directly  with the primary
market makers, unless in its opinion, best execution is available elsewhere.  In
the case of securities purchased from underwriters,  the cost of such securities
generally includes a fixed underwriting  commission or concession.  From time to
time,  soliciting  dealer fees are  available  to the Adviser on the tender of a
Fund's securities in so-called tender or exchange offers. Such soliciting dealer
fees are in effect  recaptured for the Fund by the Adviser.  At present no other
recapture arrangements are in effect.

         Under the Advisory Agreements, in connection with the selection of such
brokers or dealers  and the placing of such  orders,  the Adviser is directed to
seek for each Fund in its best judgment, prompt execution in an effective manner
at the most  favorable  price.  Subject to this  requirement of seeking the most
favorable  price,  securities may be bought from or sold to  broker-dealers  who
have furnished  statistical,  research and other  information or services to the
Adviser or the Funds, subject to any applicable laws, rules and regulations.

         The investment advisory fee that each Fund pays to the Adviser will not
be reduced as a consequence  of the Adviser's  receipt of brokerage and research
services.  While such  services  are not  expected to reduce the expenses of the
Adviser,  the  Adviser  would,  through  the  use of  the  services,  avoid  the
additional  expenses  which would be  incurred  if it should  attempt to develop
comparable information through its own staff.

         In certain  instances  there may be securities  that are suitable as an
investment for a Fund as well as for one or more of the Adviser's other clients.
Investment  decisions for each Fund and for the Adviser's other clients are made
with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives.  It may develop
that a particular  security is bought or sold for only one client even though it
might be held by, or bought or sold for, other clients.  Likewise,  a particular
security  may be bought for one or more  clients  when one or more  clients  are
selling the same security.  Some  simultaneous  transactions are inevitable when
several clients  receive  investment  advice from the same  investment  adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objectives of
more than one client. When two or more clients are simultaneously engaged in the
purchase  or sale of the same  security,  the  securities  are  allocated  among
clients in a manner  believed to be equitable to each. It is recognized  that in
some cases this system  could  adversely  affect the price of or the size of the
position  obtainable  in a security for a Fund.  When  purchases or sales of the
same security for a Fund and for other  portfolios  managed by the Adviser occur
contemporaneously,  the  purchase or sale orders may be  aggregated  in order to
obtain any price advantages available to large volume purchases or sales.

         For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1992 and August 31, 1993, for the
period from  August 31, 1993 to December  31, 1993 and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994, the New York Fund paid no brokerage commissions.

            7. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

         The  Trust's  Declaration  of Trust  permits  the  Trustees to issue an
unlimited number of full and fractional  Shares of Beneficial  Interest (without
par value) of each series and to divide or combine the shares of any series into
a greater or lesser number of shares of that series without thereby changing the
proportionate beneficial interests in that series.  Currently, the Trust has two
series of shares,  each  divided  into two  classes.  The Trust has reserved the
right to create and issue additional series and classes of shares. Each share of
each class of each Fund represents an equal  proportionate  interest in the Fund
with each other share of that class.  Shares of each series participate  equally
in the earnings,  dividends  and  distribution  of net assets of the  particular
series upon liquidation or dissolution (except for any differences among classes
of shares in a series). Shares of each series are entitled to vote separately to
approve advisory  agreements or changes in investment  policy, but shares of all
series  may  vote  together  in  the  election  or  selection  of  Trustees  and
accountants for the Trust. In matters affecting only a particular Fund or class,
only shares of that particular Fund or class are entitled to vote.

         Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held on matters on
which  they  are  entitled  to  vote.  Shareholders  in the  Trust  do not  have
cumulative  voting  rights,  and  shareholders  owning  more  than  50%  of  the
outstanding  shares of the Trust may elect all of the  Trustees  of the Trust if
they choose to do so and in such event the other shareholders in the Trust would
not be able to elect any Trustee.  The Trust is not required to hold, and has no
present intention of holding, annual meetings of shareholders but the Trust will
hold special meetings of shareholders when in the judgment of the Trustees it is
necessary or desirable to submit  matters for a shareholder  vote.  Shareholders
have, under certain  circumstances (e.g., upon the application and submission of
certain   specified   documents  to  the  Trustees  by  a  specified  number  of
shareholders),  the right to communicate  with other  shareholders in connection
with  requesting  a meeting of  shareholders  for the purpose of removing one or
more Trustees.  Shareholders also have under certain  circumstances the right to
remove one or more Trustees  without a meeting by a declaration  in writing by a
specified  number of  shareholders.  No  material  amendment  may be made to the
Trust's  Declaration of Trust without the  affirmative  vote of the holders of a
majority of the  outstanding  shares of each series  affected by the  amendment.
(See    "Investment    Objectives,    Policies   and    Restrictions--Investment
Restrictions".)  At  any  meeting  of  shareholders  of a  Fund,  a  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent may vote any shares of which it is the holder of record and for
which it does not receive voting instructions proportionately in accordance with
the  instructions  it receives  for all other  shares of which that  Shareholder
Servicing Agent is the holder of record. Shares have no preference, pre-emptive,
conversion  or  similar  rights.   Shares,  when  issued,  are  fully  paid  and
non-assessable, except as set forth below.

         The  Trust may enter  into a merger  or  consolidation,  or sell all or
substantially  all of its  assets  (or all or  substantially  all of the  assets
belonging  to any series of the Trust),  if approved by a vote of the holders of
two-thirds of the Trust's  outstanding  shares,  voting as a single class, or of
the  affected  series  of the  Trust,  as the  case may be,  except  that if the
Trustees of the Trust  recommend such sale of assets,  merger or  consolidation,
the  approval by vote of the  holders of a majority  of the Trust's  outstanding
shares would be  sufficient.  The Trust or any series of the Trust,  as the case
may be, may be terminated (i) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting
securities  of the  Trust or the  affected  series  or (ii) by the  Trustees  by
written notice to the shareholders of the Trust or the affected series.
If not so terminated, the Trust will continue indefinitely.

         Share certificates will not be issued.

         The Trust is an entity of the type commonly  known as a  "Massachusetts
business trust". Under Massachusetts law,  shareholders of such a business trust
may, under certain circumstances,  be held personally liable as partners for its
obligations  and  liabilities.  However,  the  Declaration of Trust of the Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder  liability for acts or obligations
of the Trust and provides for  indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out
of Trust property for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations
of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust of the Trust also provides that the Trust
may  maintain  appropriate  insurance  (e.g.,  fidelity  bonding  and errors and
omissions  insurance)  for  the  protection  of  the  Trust,  its  shareholders,
Trustees,  officers,  employees  and  agents  covering  possible  tort and other
liabilities. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account
of shareholder  liability is limited to  circumstances  in which both inadequate
insurance existed and the Trust itself was unable to meet its obligations.

         The Trust's  Declaration of Trust further  provides that obligations of
the Trust  are not  binding  upon the  Trustees  individually  but only upon the
property of the Trust and that the Trustees will not be liable for any action or
failure to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust of each Trust protects a
Trustee  against any liability to which he or she would  otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

                       8. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS

         Each Fund has elected to be treated,  and intends to qualify each year,
as a "regulated  investment  company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), by meeting all applicable requirements of
Subchapter  M,  including  requirements  as to the  nature of the  Fund's  gross
income,  the amount of Fund  distributions  (as a percentage  of both the Fund's
income and its tax-exempt income), and the composition and holding period of the
Fund's  portfolio  assets.  Provided all such  requirements are met and all of a
Fund's net  investment  income and realized  capital  gains are  distributed  to
shareholders in accordance with the timing  requirements  imposed by the Code no
federal  income or excise  taxes  generally  will be  required to be paid by the
Fund. If a Fund should fail to qualify as a "regulated  investment  company" for
any year, the Fund would incur a regular  corporate  federal income tax upon its
taxable  income and Fund  distributions  would  generally be taxable as ordinary
dividend income to shareholders.

                The  portion  of each  Fund's  distributions  of net  investment
income that is  attributable  to interest  from  tax-exempt  securities  will be
designated by the Fund as an "exempt-interest  dividend" under the Code and will
generally be exempt from federal income tax in the hands of shareholders so long
as at least 50% of the total value of the Fund's  assets  consists of tax-exempt
securities   at  the  close  of  each  quarter  of  the  Fund's   taxable  year.
Distributions  of  tax-exempt  interest  earned  from  certain  securities  may,
however,  be treated as an item of tax  preference  for  shareholders  under the
federal alternative minimum tax, and all exempt-interest  dividends may increase
a  corporate  shareholder's  alternative  minimum  tax.  Unless a Fund  provides
shareholders with actual monthly percentage breakdowns, the percentage of income
designated as tax-exempt will be applied  uniformly to all  distributions by the
Fund of net  investment  income made during each fiscal year of the Fund and may
differ from the percentage of distributions consisting of tax-exempt interest in
any  particular  month.  Shareholders  are  required  to report  exempt-interest
dividends received from each Fund on their federal income tax returns.

         Any Fund dividend that is declared in October,  November or December of
any calendar year,  that is payable to  shareholders  of record in such a month,
and that is paid the  following  January  will be treated as if  received by the
shareholders  on December 31 of the year in which the dividend is declared.  Any
Fund distribution will have the effect of reducing the per share net asset value
of shares in the Fund by the amount of the distribution. Shareholders purchasing
shares  shortly  before  the  record  date  of any  distribution  other  than an
exempt-interest  dividend  may thus pay the full  price for the  shares and then
effectively  receive  a  portion  of  the  purchase  price  back  as  a  taxable
distribution.

         In general,  any gain or loss  realized upon a taxable  disposition  of
shares of a Fund by a shareholder that holds such shares as a capital asset will
be treated as  long-term  capital  gain or loss if the shares have been held for
more than twelve  months and  otherwise  as a  short-term  capital gain or loss.
However,  any loss  realized  upon a redemption of shares in a Fund held for six
months or less will be treated as a long-term  capital loss to the extent of any
distributions  of net capital gain made with respect to those  shares.  Any loss
realized  upon a  disposition  of  shares  may also be  disallowed  under  rules
relating  to  wash  sales.  Gain  may be  increased  (or  loss  reduced)  upon a
redemption of shares of a Fund within 90 days after their  purchase  followed by
any purchase (including  purchases by exchanges or by reinvestment) of shares of
the Fund or another Landmark Fund without payment of an additional sales charge.
Shareholders  disposing of shares after  tax-exempt  income has been accrued but
not yet  declared as a dividend  should be aware that a portion of the  proceeds
realized  upon  disposition  of the shares may  reflect  the  existence  of such
accrued  tax-exempt income, and that this portion of the proceeds may be subject
to tax as a capital gain even though it would have been  tax-exempt  had it been
declared as a dividend prior to the disposition.

         Any  investment in certain  securities  purchased at a market  discount
will cause the applicable Fund to recognize  income prior to the receipt of cash
payments with respect to those  securities.  In order to distribute  this income
and avoid a tax,  the Trust may be required to  liquidate  securities  of a Fund
that it might otherwise have continued to hold and thereby potentially cause the
Fund to realize additional taxable gain or loss.

         Each Fund's  transactions  in options,  futures  contracts  and forward
contracts  will be  subject to  special  tax rules  that may affect the  amount,
timing,  and character of Fund income and distributions to holders of beneficial
interests.  For example, certain positions held by the Trust on behalf of a Fund
on the last  business day of each  taxable year will be marked to market  (i.e.,
treated as if closed out) on that day, and any gain or loss  associated with the
positions  will be treated as 60% long-term and 40%  short-term  capital gain or
loss. Certain positions held by the Trust on behalf of a Fund that substantially
diminish its risk of loss with respect to other  positions in its  portfolio may
constitute  straddles,  and may be subject to special tax rules that would cause
deferral of Fund losses,  adjustments in the holding  periods of securities held
by the Trust on behalf of the Fund and  conversion of short-term  into long-term
capital  losses.  Certain tax elections  exist for straddles which may alter the
effects  of these  rules.  The Trust  will limit its  investment  activities  in
options,  futures  contracts and forward contracts on behalf of the Funds to the
extent necessary to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

                                                                      APPENDIX A
                      DESCRIPTION OF MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS

         Municipal  Obligations include bonds, notes and commercial paper issued
by or on behalf of states,  territories and possessions of the United States and
the  District  of  Columbia  and  their  political  subdivisions,   agencies  or
instrumentalities,  the  interest on which is exempt from  federal  income taxes
(without regard to whether the interest thereon is also exempt from the personal
income  taxes of any  state).  Municipal  Obligation  bonds are issued to obtain
funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of
public  facilities  such  as  bridges,   highways,   housing,   hospitals,  mass
transportation,  schools,  streets  and  water  and sewer  works.  Other  public
purposes for which Municipal  Obligation  bonds may be issued include  refunding
outstanding  obligations,  obtaining funds for general operating  expenses,  and
obtaining  funds  to  loan to  other  public  institutions  and  facilities.  In
addition,  certain  types of  industrial  development  bonds are issued by or on
behalf  of public  authorities  to obtain  funds to  provide  privately-operated
housing  facilities,  industrial  facilities,  sports facilities,  convention or
trade show facilities, airport, mass transit, port or parking facilities, air or
water  pollution  control  facilities,  hazardous  waste  treatment  or disposal
facilities,  and certain local facilities for water supply, gas,  electricity or
sewage or solid waste  disposal.  Such  obligations are included within the term
Municipal  Obligations  if the interest  paid  thereon  qualifies as exempt from
federal income tax. Other types of industrial development bonds, the proceeds of
which  are  used for the  construction,  equipment,  repair  or  improvement  of
privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may constitute Municipal
Obligations, although the current federal tax laws place substantial limitations
on the size of such issues.

         The two principal  classifications  of Municipal  Obligation  bonds are
"general  obligation" and "revenue" bonds.  General obligation bonds are secured
by the  issuer's  pledge of its good  faith,  credit  and  taxing  power for the
payment of principal and interest.  The payment of the principal of and interest
on such bonds may be dependent upon an appropriation by the issuer's legislative
body.  The  characteristics  and  enforcement of general  obligation  bonds vary
according to the law  applicable  to the  particular  issuer.  Revenue bonds are
payable  only from the revenues  derived from a particular  facility or class of
facilities  or, in some cases,  from the  proceeds of a special  excise or other
specific  revenue  source.  Industrial  development  bonds  which are  Municipal
Obligations are in most cases revenue bonds and do not generally  constitute the
pledge of the  credit  of the  issuer  of such  bonds.  There  are,  of  course,
variations  in the security of Municipal  Obligations,  both within a particular
classification and between classifications, depending on numerous factors.

         Municipal Obligation notes generally are used to provide for short-term
capital  needs and  generally  have  maturities  of one year or less.  Municipal
Obligation notes include:

         1. TAX ANTICIPATION NOTES. Tax Anticipation Notes are issued to finance
operational needs of municipalities.  Generally, they are issued in anticipation
of the receipt of various tax revenues, such as property, income, sales, use and
business taxes.

         2. REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES. Revenue Anticipation Notes are issued in
expectation  of  receipt  of  dedicated  revenues,  such as state aid or federal
revenues available under federal revenue sharing programs.

         3. TAX AND REVENUE  ANTICIPATION  NOTES.  Tax and Revenue  Anticipation
Notes are issued by a state or  municipality  to fund its day-to-day  operations
and  certain  local  assistance   payments  to  its  municipalities  and  school
districts. Such Notes are issued in anticipation of the receipt of various taxes
and revenues,  such as personal income taxes,  business taxes and user taxes and
fees.

         4. BOND  ANTICIPATION  NOTES.  Bond  Anticipation  Notes are  issued to
provide  interim  financing  until  long-term  bond  financing  can be arranged.
Long-term  bonds or renewal Bond  Anticipation  Notes  provide the money for the
repayment of the Notes.

         Issues of commercial paper typically represent  short-term,  unsecured,
negotiable  promissory notes.  These obligations are issued by agencies of state
and  local   governments   to  finance   seasonal   working   capital  needs  of
municipalities  or to provide interim  construction  financing and are paid from
general  revenues of  municipalities  or are refinanced  with long-term debt. In
most  cases,  Municipal  Obligation  commercial  paper is backed by  letters  of
credit, lending agreements,  note repurchase agreements or other credit facility
agreements offered by banks or other institutions.

         The  yields on  Municipal  Obligations  are  dependent  on a variety of
factors,  including  general  market  conditions,  supply and demand and general
conditions of the Municipal  Obligation market,  size of a particular  offering,
the maturity of the obligation and rating (if any) of the issue.  The ratings of
Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.,  Standard & Poor's  Ratings  Group and Fitch
Investors  Service,  Inc.  represent their opinions as to the quality of various
Municipal  Obligations.  It should be emphasized,  however, that ratings are not
absolute standards of quality. Consequently, Municipal Obligations with the same
maturity,   coupon  and  rating  may  have  different   yields  while  Municipal
Obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different  ratings may have the
same yield.

                       DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS*

The ratings of Moody's Investors Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's"),  Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group ("S&P") and Fitch  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Fitch")  represent
their  opinions  as to the  quality of  various  debt  securities.  It should be
emphasized,  however,  that  ratings  are not  absolute  standards  of  quality.
Consequently, debt securities with the same maturity, coupon and rating may have
different  yields  while debt  securities  of the same  maturity and coupon with
different ratings may have the same yield. The ratings below are as described by
the rating  agencies.  Ratings are generally  given to securities at the time of
issuance.  While the rating  agencies may from time to time revise such ratings,
they undertake no obligation to do so.

                DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S
                           FOUR HIGHEST BOND RATINGS

Aaa      Bonds  which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best  quality.  They
         carry the smallest degree of investment risk and generally are referred
         to as "gilt edge".  Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
         exceptionally  stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
         protective  elements  are  likely to  change,  such  changes  as can be
         visualized  are  most  unlikely  to  impair  the  fundamentally  strong
         position of such issues.

Aa       Bonds  which  are  rated Aa are  judged  to be of high  quality  by all
         standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally
         known as high  grade  bonds.  They are rated  lower than the best bonds
         because  margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities
         or  fluctuation of protective  elements may be of greater  amplitude or
         there may be other  elements  present  which make the  long-term  risks
         appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A        Bonds which are rated A possess many  favorable  investment  attributes
         and are to be  considered  as upper medium grade  obligations.  Factors
         giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate,  but
         elements may be present  which suggest a  susceptibility  to impairment
         sometime in the future.

Baa      Bonds which are rated Baa are  considered as medium grade  obligations,
         i.e., they are neither highly  protected nor poorly  secured.  Interest
         payments and  principal  security  appear  adequate for the present but
         certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
         unreliable over any great length of time.  Such bonds lack  outstanding
         investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics
         as well.


Note: Those bonds in the Aa, A and Baa groups which Moody's believes possess the
strongest investment attributes are designated by the symbols Aa1, A1 and Baa1.


                DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S
                           FOUR HIGHEST BOND RATINGS

AAA      Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P.  Capacity to pay
         interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA       Debt rated AA has a very  strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay
         principal  and differs  from the highest  rated  issues only in a small
         degree.

A        Debt rated A has a strong  capacity to pay interest and repay principal
         although  it is somewhat  more  susceptible  to the adverse  effects of
         changes in  circumstances  and economic  conditions than debt in higher
         rated categories.

BBB      Debt  rated  BBB is  regarded  as having an  adequate  capacity  to pay
         interest and repay  principal.  Whereas it normally  exhibits  adequate
         protection   parameters,   adverse  economic   conditions  or  changing
         circumstances  are more  likely to lead to a weakened  capacity  to pay
         interest and repay  principal  for debt in this category than in higher
         rated categories.

         Plus (+) or Minus (-):  The  ratings  from AA to BBB may be modified by
the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative  standing within the major
rating categories.


                 DESCRIPTION OF FITCH INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S
                           FOUR HIGHEST BOND RATINGS

         The rating takes into consideration  special features of the issue, its
relationship  to other  obligations of the issuer,  the current and  prospective
financial  condition and operating  performance of the issuer and any guarantor,
as well as the economic and political environment that might affect the issuer's
future financial strength and credit quality.

AAA      Bonds  considered  to be  investment  grade and of the  highest  credit
         quality.  The  obligor  has  an  exceptionally  strong  ability  to pay
         interest  and repay  principal,  which is  unlikely  to be  affected by
         reasonably foreseeable events.

AA       Bonds  considered  to be  investment  grade  and of  very  high  credit
         quality.  The obligor's  ability to pay interest and repay principal is
         very strong,  although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA.  Because
         bonds  rated  in  the  AAA  and AA  categories  are  not  significantly
         vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these
         issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A        Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
         obligor's  ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to
         be strong,  but may be more  vulnerable to adverse  changes in economic
         conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB      Bonds  considered to be  investment  grade and of  satisfactory  credit
         quality.  The obligor's  ability to pay interest and repay principal is
         considered to be adequate.  Adverse changes in economic  conditions and
         circumstances,  however,  are more likely to have an adverse  impact on
         these bonds, and therefore  impair timely payment.  The likelihood that
         the ratings of these bonds will fall below  investment  grade is higher
         than for bonds with higher ratings.

PLUS (+)  MINUS (-) -- Plus and  minus  signs  are used with a rating  symbol to
indicate the relative position of a credit within the rating category.  Plus and
minus signs, however, are not used in the AAA category.


                DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S
                TWO HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE AND MUNICIPAL NOTES

         Moody's  ratings for state and  municipal  short-term  obligations  are
designated  Moody's  Investment  Grade  ("MIG").   Such  ratings  recognize  the
differences between short-term credit risk and long-term risk. Factors affecting
the liquidity of the borrower and short-term  cyclical  elements are critical in
short-term  ratings,  while other factors of major importance in bond risk, such
as long-term secular trends, may be less important over the short run.

MIG 1/VMIG 1  This  designation  denotes best quality.  There is present  strong
              protection by established cash flows,  superior  liquidity support
              or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2  This designation  denotes high quality.  Margins of protection are
              ample although not so large as in the preceding group.


                DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S
                TWO HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE AND MUNICIPAL NOTES

         An S&P note rating  reflects the  liquidity  concerns and market access
risks  unique to  notes.  Notes due in three  years or less  likely  have a note
rating.  Notes  maturing  beyond  three years most likely have a long-term  debt
rating. The following criteria are used in making that assessment.

- -        Amortization  schedule (the longer the final maturity relative to other
         maturities the more likely it is treated as a note).

- -        Source of payment  (the more  dependent  the issue is on the market for
         its refinancing, the more likely it is treated as a note).

         Note rating symbols are as follows:

SP-1     Very strong or strong  capacity to pay principal  and  interest.  Those
         issues determined to possess  overwhelming  safety  characteristics are
         given a plus (+) designation.

SP-2     Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.


                DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S
                       RATINGS OF TAX-EXEMPT DEMAND BONDS

         Standard & Poor's  assigns  "dual" ratings to all long-term debt issues
that have as part of their provisions a demand or double feature.

         The first rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and
interest as due, and the second rating  addresses only the demand  feature.  The
long-term  debt  rating  symbols  are used for  bonds to  denote  the  long-term
maturity  and the  commercial  paper  rating  symbols are used to denote the put
option (for  example,  "AAA/A-1+").  For the newer "demand  notes",  note rating
symbols combined with the commercial paper symbols are used (for example,  "SP-1
/A-1+").

                 DESCRIPTION OF FITCH INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S
               THREE HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE AND MUNICIPAL NOTES

         The short-term  rating places greater  emphasis than a long-term rating
on the existence of liquidity  necessary to meet the issuer's  obligations  in a
timely manner.

F-1+     Exceptionally  Strong Credit  Quality.  Issues assigned this rating are
         regarded  as having  the  strongest  degree  of  assurance  for  timely
         payment.

F-1      Very Strong Credit  Quality.  Issues  assigned  this rating  reflect an
         assurance of timely  payment only  slightly  less in degree than issues
         rated F-1+.

F-2      Good Credit  Quality.  Issues  assigned this rating have a satisfactory
         degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not
         as great as for issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings.


                DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S
                      TWO HIGHEST COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

         Moody's commercial paper ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers
to repay  punctually  short-term  senior debt obligations not having an original
maturity in excess of one year.

         Issuers  rated  PRIME-1 (or  related  supporting  institutions)  have a
superior capacity for repayment of senior  short-term debt obligations.  Prime-1
repayment capacity normally is evidenced by the following  characteristics:  (1)
leading  market  positions  in well  established  industries;  (2) high rates of
return  on funds  employed;  (3)  conservative  capitalization  structures  with
moderate  reliance  on debt and ample  asset  protection;  (4) broad  margins in
earnings  coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation;
and (5) well  established  access to a range of  financial  markets  and assured
sources of alternate liquidity.

         Issuers  rated  PRIME-2 (or  related  supporting  institutions)  have a
strong  capacity  for  repayment of senior  short-term  debt  obligations.  This
normally is evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser
degree.  Earnings trends and coverage  ratios,  while sound, are more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics,  while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.


                DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S
                      TWO HIGHEST COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

         A S&P commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood
of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.

A        Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the greatest
         capacity for timely  payment.  Issues in this  category are  delineated
         with the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to indicate the relative degree of safety.

A-1      This  designation  indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
         payment is either overwhelming or very strong.  Those issues determined
         to possess overwhelming safety  characteristics are denoted with a plus
         (+) sign designation.

A-2      Capacity for timely payment on issues with this  designation is strong.
         However,  the  relative  degree of safety is not as high as for  issues
         designated A-1.

                       ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
                         NEW YORK MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS

         The following  information  is a summary of special  factors  affecting
investments in New York Municipal  Obligations.  The sources of payment for such
obligations and the marketability  thereof may be affected by financial or other
difficulties  experienced  by New York State (the  "State")  and  certain of its
municipalities  and  public  authorities.  It does not  purport to be a complete
description  and is based on information  from official  statements  relating to
securities  offerings of New York issuers.  The Trust is not responsible for the

NEW YORK STATE

         The factors affecting New York State's financial  condition are complex
and the following description constitutes only a summary.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         The national  economy  performed  better in 1994 than in any year since
the recovery began in 1991. National job and income growth were substantial.  In
response,  the Federal  Reserve  Board  ("FRB")  shifted to a policy of monetary
tightening by raising  interest rates throughout the year. As of March 1995, the
federal funds rate was up 300 basis points from the level of a year  previously.
As a result,  the  economy is  expected  to slow  sharply  in  several  quarters
beginning  in 1995,  as higher  interest  rates  reduce the  growth in  consumer
spending  and  business  investment.  The State  Division of the Budget  expects
average annual growth in real gross domestic  product  ("GDP") to be 2.8 percent
in 1995,  following the 4 percent pace estimated for 1994. This is somewhat more
conservative  than  the 3.1  percent  growth  rate  expected  by the  Blue  Chip
consensus of leading economic forecasters.

         Inflationary  pressures  have increased due to strong  national  growth
throughout  1994,  with  a  fairly  low  unemployment  rate  and  high  capacity
utilization,  and  economic  recoveries  in Europe and Japan.  However,  foreign
competition is expected to help to moderate the increase in the inflation  rate.
With a slowing  economy and only a modest  acceleration  of inflation,  wage and
personal income growth are expected to be moderate.

         The  State  economy  turned in a mixed  performance  during  1994.  The
moderate employment growth that characterized 1993 continued into mid-1994, then
virtually ceased.  After July, the trade and construction sectors stopped adding
jobs and government employment declined. Growth, though considerably slower than
earlier in the year,  continued in the service sector.  Wages grew at around 3.5
percent,  reflecting,  in part, a plunge in bonus payments from securities firms
whose profits dropped in 1994. Personal income rose 4.0 percent in 1994.

         Employment growth is expected to slow to less than 0.5 percent in 1995.
Continued  restructuring  by large  corporations  and all  levels of  government
largely  account for the subdued  growth  rate in the  forecast.  Slow growth in
employment and average wages is expected to restrain wage growth to a modest 3.2
percent in 1995.  Personal  income is anticipated to receive a boost from higher
interest rates and rise by 4.4 percent.

         Significant  uncertainties  exist in the forecasts.  Consumer  spending
could he more robust than anticipated, and recoveries in Europe and Japan may be
stronger than expected,  leading to continued strong expansion  throughout 1995.
Interest  rates,  on the other  hand,  may be at a level  that will  initiate  a
sharper-than-expected  slowdown.  Financial  instability,  such  as the  foreign
exchange turmoil in Mexico,  remains possible.  The State forecast could fail to
estimate  correctly  the growth in average wages and the effect of corporate and
government downsizing.

         The State's  financial  operations  have improved  during recent fiscal
years.  During the period 1989-90 through  1991-92,  the State incurred  General
Fund operating  deficits that were closed with receipts from the issuance of tax
and revenue  anticipation notes ("TRANs").  First, the national  recession,  and
then the  lingering  economic  slowdown  in the New York and  regional  economy,
resulted in repeated  shortfalls in receipts and three budget deficits.  For its
1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years, the State recorded  balanced budgets on a cash
basis, with substantial fund balances in each year as described below.

         The  State  ended its  1993-94  fiscal  year  with a balance  of $1.140
billion in the tax  refund  reserve  account,  $265  million in its  Contingency
Reserve  Fund ("CRF") and $134 million in its Tax  Stabilization  Reserve  Fund.
These fund balances were primarily the result of an improving  national economy,
State employment growth,  tax collections that exceeded earlier  projections and
disbursements that were below expectations.  Deposits to the personal income tax
refund reserve have the effect of reducing reported personal income tax receipts
in the fiscal year when made and withdrawals from such reserve increase receipts
in the fiscal year when made. The balance in the tax refund reserve account will
be used to pay taxpayer refunds, rather than drawing from 1994-95 receipts.

         Of the $1.140  billion  deposited  in the tax refund  reserve  account,
$1.026  billion was  available for  budgetary  planning  purposes in the 1994-95
fiscal year.  The remaining  $114 million will be  redeposited in the tax refund
reserve  account at the end of the State's  1994-95  fiscal year to continue the
process of  restructuring  the State's cash flow as part of the Local Government
Assistance  Corporation ("LGAC") program. The balance in the CRF will be used to
meet the cost of litigation facing the State. The Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund
may be used  only in the  event  of an  unanticipated  General  Fund  cash-basis
deficit during the 1994-95 fiscal year.

         Before the deposit of $1.140 billion in the tax refund reserve account,
General Fund receipts in 1993-94  exceeded those  originally  projected when the
State  Financial  Plan for that year was  formulated on April 16, 1993 by $1.002
billion.  Greater-than-expected  receipts in the  personal  income tax, the bank
tax, the corporation franchise tax and the estate tax accounted for most of this
variance, and more than offset weaker-than-projected  collections from the sales
and use tax and miscellaneous  receipts.  Collections from individual taxes were
affected  by  various  factors  including  changes  in  Federal  business  laws,
sustained  profitability of banks,  strong  performance of securities firms, and
higher-than-expected consumption of tobacco products following price cuts.

         The higher  receipts  resulted,  in part,  because the New York economy
performed better than forecasted. Employment growth started in the first quarter
of the State's  1993-94  fiscal  year,  and,  although  this  lagged  behind the
national  economic  recovery,   the  growth  in  New  York  began  earlier  than
forecasted.  The New York  economy  exhibited  signs of  strength in the service
sector,  in construction,  and in trade.  Long Island and the Mid-Hudson  Valley
continued  to lag  behind  the rest of the  State in  economic  growth.  The DOB
believes that  approximately  100,000 jobs were added during the 1993-94  fiscal
year.

         Disbursements  and  transfers  from the General  Fund were $303 million
below the level  projected  in April  1993,  an amount that would have been $423
million had the State not accelerated the payment of Medicaid billings, which in
the April 1993 State Financial Plan were planned to be deferred into the 1994-95
fiscal year.  Compared to the  estimates  included in the State  Financial  Plan
formulated in April 1993, lower  disbursements  resulted from lower spending for
Medicaid,  capital  projects,  and debt  service  (due to  refundings)  and $114
million used to  restructure  the State's cash flow as part of the LGAC program.
Disbursements were  higher-than-expected for general support for public schools,
the State share of income  maintenance,  overtime for prison guards, and highway
snow and ice removal.  The State also made the first of six required payments to
the State of Delaware related to the settlement of Delaware's litigation against
the State regarding the disposition of abandoned property receipts.

         During the 1993-94 fiscal year, the State also  established  and funded
the CRF as a way to  assist  the  State  in  financing  the  cost of  litigation
affecting  the State.  The CRF was  initially  funded  with a  transfer  of $100
million attributable to the positive margin recorded in the 1992-93 fiscal year.
In addition,  the State augmented this initial deposit with $132 million in debt
service savings  attributable  to the refinancing of State and public  authority
bonds during  1993-94.  A year-end  transfer of $36 million was also made to the
CRF, which,  after a disbursement for authorized fund purposes,  brought the CRF
balance  at the end of 193-94 to $265  million.  This  amount  was $165  million
higher than the amount originally targeted for this reserve fund.

         During the prior ten years,  State-supported  debt service increased by
5.8  percent  annually  to $2.239  billion  by  1993-94  as  available  revenues
increased by 5.1 percent  annually.  The relative  comparable growth in revenues
and debt service  resulted in modest  increases  of 2.7 percent  annually in the
ratio of debt  service  to  revenues  from  1984-85  to  1993-94.  The  ratio is
estimated to increase to over 6 percent as a result of the enacted budget.

         Principal  and  interest  payments  on  general  obligation  bonds  and
interest  payments on bond  anticipation  notes and on TRANs were $782.5 million
for the 1993-94 fiscal year, and are estimated to be $786.3 million for 1994-95.
These  figures  do not  include  interest  payable on State  General  Obligation
Refunding Bonds issued in July 1992 ("Refunding  Bonds") to the extent that such
interest  was paid from an escrow  fund  established  with the  proceeds of such
Refunding Bonds. Principal and interest payments on fixed rate and variable rate
bonds issued by LGAC were $239.4  million for the 1993-94  fiscal year,  and are
estimated to be $289.9  million for  1994-95.  State  lease-purchase  rental and
contractual-obligation  payments  for  1993-94  (Other  Financing  Obligations),
including State  installment  payments related to certificates of participation,
were $1.258 billion and are estimated to be $1.495 billion in 1994-95.

         Total  outstanding  State-related  debt increased from $22.9 billion at
the end of the 1984-85  fiscal  year to $34.8  billion at the end of the 1993-94
fiscal year, an average annual increase of 4.26%. State-supported debt increased
from $9.4 billion at the end of the 1984-85  fiscal year to $26.4 billion at the
end of the 1993-94 fiscal year, an average annual increase of 10.86%. During the
same ten year  period,  annual  personal  income in the State  rose from  $270.7
billion  to  $448.1  billion,   an  average  annual  increase  of  5.17%.  Thus,
State-supported   debt  grew  at  a  faster  rate  than  personal  income  while
State-related  obligations grew at a slower rate.  Expressed in other terms, the
total amount of  State-supported  debt grew from 3.48% of personal income in the
1984-85 fiscal year to 5.9% for the 1993-94 fiscal year while State-related debt
outstanding declined from 8.46% to 7.76% for the same period.

         The  State  has  never  defaulted  on  any of  its  general  obligation
indebtedness or its obligations under  lease-purchase or  contractual-obligation
financing  arrangements  and has  never  been  called  upon to make  any  direct
payments pursuant to its guarantees. There has never been a default on any moral
obligation debt of any State public authority ("Authority").

         The  State's  budget for the  1994-95  fiscal  year was  enacted by the
Legislature on June 7, 1994,  more than two months after the start of the fiscal
year. Prior to adoption of the budget,  the Legislature  enacted  appropriations
for  disbursements  considered  to be necessary for State  operations  and other
purposes,  including all necessary  appropriations  for debt service.  The State
Financial  Plan for the 1994-95  fiscal year was formulated on June 16, 1994 and
is based on the State's budget as enacted by the Legislature and signed into law
by the Governor.

         The 1994-95  State  Financial  Plan,  as  formulated  on June 16, 1994,
projected a balanced  General  Fund.  Total  General Fund receipts and transfers
from other funds were  projected  to be $34.321  billion,  an increase of $2.092
billion  over total  receipts  in the prior  fiscal  year.  Total  General  Fund
disbursements and transfers to other funds were projected to be $34.248 billion,
an increase of $2.351 billion over the total amount disbursed and transferred in
the prior fiscal year.

         The State issued the first of the three required  quarterly  updates to
the  cash-basis  1994-95  State  Financial  Plan on July 29,  1994.  That update
reflected an analysis of actual receipts and  disbursements in the first quarter
of the fiscal  year,  as well as the  impact of  legislative  actions  and other
developments  after the enactment of the budget.  Following so closely after the
initial  formulation of the State Financial Plan reflecting the enactment of the
State's 1994-95 budget, the update reflected no significant  changes and did not
alter the balanced  position of the State's  General Fund in the State Financial
Plan. The economic forecast at that time remained  unchanged,  following several
weeks of mixed  news  about the pace of the  economy  of the nation and New York
State.

         The State  issued  its second  quarterly,  or  mid-year,  update to the
cash-basis  1994-95  State  Financial  Plan on  October  28,  1994.  The  update
projected a year-end  surplus of $14 million in the General Fund, with estimated
receipts  reduced by $267 million and  estimated  disbursements  reduced by $281
million,  compared to the State Financial Plan as initially formulated.  In that
update the State  revised its forecast of national and State  economic  activity
through the end of calendar year 1995.  Although the national  economic forecast
was basically  unchanged from that on which the initial formulation of the State
Financial  Plan was based,  the revised State  economic  forecast was marginally
weaker.

         Receipts through the first two quarters of the 1994-95 fiscal year fell
short of expectations by $132 million. These shortfalls were concentrated in the
personal and business income taxes,  where quarterly  personal income,  bank and
insurance tax payments were lower than expected.  Based on the revised  economic
outlook and this receipt  shortfall,  projected  General  Fund  receipts for the
1994-95 fiscal year were reduced by $267 million.  Estimates of the yield of the
personal  income tax were lowered by $334  million,  primarily  reflecting  weak
estimated  tax  collections  and lower  withholding  collections  due to reduced
expectations  for wage  and  salary  growth,  particularly  securities  industry
bonuses, during the balance of the year. Business tax receipts were also reduced
modestly,  reflecting  revised  estimates of liability  and lower  payments from
banks and insurance companies;  however,  these reductions were partially offset
by increases in the general business corporation and utility taxes. Estimates in
other receipt categories were increased by a total of $113 million.  The largest
increases were in the sales tax, reflecting  collections to date and the revised
economic  outlook,  and estate  taxes  which were buoyed by  unexpectedly  large
collections  during the first six months of the 1994-95  fiscal year.  Increases
were also made in estimates for the real property  gains tax and the real estate
transfer tax, based on strong collections to date.

         Disbursements  through  the first six  months of the  fiscal  year fell
short of projections by $153 million,  owing in part to changes in the timing of
payments but also to lower spending trends in certain programs,  most notably in
payments  for social  services  programs.  Projections  of 1994-95  General Fund
disbursements  were  reduced  $281  million,  with  savings in  virtually  every
category of the State Financial Plan. Payments for social services programs were
projected to be $140 million lower than projected in the State Financial Plan as
initially formulated,  reflecting experience through the first six months of the
fiscal  year  and  an  initiative   to  increase   Federal   reimbursement   for
administrative  costs.  Although school aid costs increased reflecting revisions
to the current and two prior  school years based on final audits and revised aid
claims,  these costs were expected to be offset by  recoveries  from the Federal
government in support of programs for pupils with disabilities. Other reductions
reflected  lower pension  costs,  increased  health  insurance  dividends,  debt
management  savings,  and slower  spending  for  certain  programs  and  capital
projects.  Higher spending was projected for a single program, the Department of
Correctional  Services, to accommodate an unanticipated  increase in the State's
prison population.

         On February 1, 1995,  as part of his  Executive  Budget for the 1995-96
fiscal year,  the Governor  submitted  the third  quarterly  update to the State
Financial Plan for the current year.  This update  reflects  changes to receipts
and disbursements based on: (1) an updated economic forecast for both the nation
and the State, (2) an analysis of actual receipts and disbursements  through the
first nine  months of the fiscal  year,  (3) an  analysis  of  changing  program
requirements,  and (4) the  Governor's  proposed plan to close a potential  $259
million  deficit.  The changes are  reflected  after the mid-year  update to the
State  Financial Plan was restated to conform to certain  accounting  treatments
used by the State Comptroller in reporting actual results, but do not affect the
actual closing cash position of the General Fund.

         Estimates  of General Fund  receipts  for the current  fiscal year have
been  reduced by $585  million,  from the mid-year  update,  and are down $1.058
billion from the budget enacted in June 1994 (of which $227 million results from
the restatement of the State Financial Plan,  noted above).  The reductions from
the mid-year update are  concentrated in (1) the personal income tax where lower
withholdings and estimated taxes reflect the cessation of job growth in the last
half of 1994, and even more severe reductions in brokerage industry bonuses than
expected earlier, and deferrals of capital gains realizations in anticipation of
potential  Federal  tax  changes,  and  (2)  the  bank  tax,  where  substantial
overpayments  of 1993 liability  have  depressed net  collections in the current
year.  Offsetting  this  projected  loss in  receipts,  however,  are  projected
reductions  of  $312  million  in   disbursements   from  the  mid-year  update,
attributable to lower spending through the first nine months of the fiscal year,
and to the use of greater-than-anticipated  receipts from the State lottery. The
total  reduction in projected  disbursements  from the budget  enacted in June -
including payments from reserve funds - is $1.008 billion (of which $182 million
results from the restatement of the State Financial Plan).

         The  net  result  of  the   projected   reductions   in  receipts   and
disbursements is a negative margin of $273 million against the mid-year update's
projection  of a $14 million  surplus,  producing  a  potential  deficit of $259
million for the 1994-95  fiscal  year.  The  Governor has proposed to close this
deficit  through a hiring freeze,  a review of pending  contracts,  and spending
cuts in certain  programs  that were started or expanded in the 1994-95  budget.
Major actions to close the deficit include:

    -    $84 million in savings from freezing non-essential capital programs:

    -    $59 million in savings from the general  State agency hiring and budget
         freeze and halting the  development  of additional  services for mental
         hygiene clients in community settings;

    -    $21  million in  receipts  from  excess  balances  in  accounts  of the
         Environmental Facilities Corporation;

    -    $30 million in a repayment from the Urban  Development  Corporation for
         advances made by the State in prior years; and

    -    $50 million in savings from canceling the Liberty Scholarships program.

         After these  actions,  the balance in the General  Fund at the close of
the 1994-95 fiscal year is expected to be $157 million.  The required deposit to
the Tax  Stabilization  Reserve  Fund is  projected  to add $23  million  to the
existing balance of $134 million in that fund.

         The Financial  Plan for the 1995-96 fiscal year released on February 1,
1995,  projects General Fund receipts,  including transfers from other funds, of
$32.516  billion,  a reduction of $747 million  from the revised  1994-95  State
Financial  Plan.  Tax receipts are projected at $29.391  billion for the 1995-96
fiscal year, a reduction of $1.071 billion from the prior year. Disbursements in
the General Fund are projected to total $32.361  billion in 1995-96,  a decrease
of $1.144 billion or 3.4 percent.  This decline  reflects a broad agenda of cost
containment actions, more than offsetting modest increases for fixed costs, such
as  pensions,  debt service on bonds sold during the current  year,  and capital
projects  under  construction.  The closing fund balance in the General Fund for
the 1995-96 fiscal year is projected to be $312 million, reflecting the required
deposit of $15  million  to the Tax  Stabilization  Reserve  Fund,  raising  the
balance in that fund to $172  million at the close of the 1995-96  fiscal  year.
The  remainder  reflects  the  recommended   deposit  of  $140  million  to  the
Contingency  Reserve Fund (CRF) to provide  resources to finance potential costs
associated with litigation against the State.

         There  can be no  assurance  that the State  will not face  substantial
potential  budget  gaps in future  years,  including  the 1994-95  fiscal  year,
resulting  from a significant  disparity  between tax revenues  projected from a
lower  recurring  receipts  base and the  spending  required to  maintain  State
programs at current levels. To address any potential  budgetary  imbalance,  the
State may need to take  significant  actions  to align  recurring  receipts  and
disbursements in future fiscal years.

RATING AGENCIES ACTIONS

         On June  6,  1990,  Moody's  changed  its  ratings  on all the  State's
outstanding  general  obligation  bonds  from A1 to A. On March  26,  1990,  S&P
changed its ratings of all of the State's  outstanding  general obligation bonds
from AA- to A. On  January  13,  1992,  S&P  changed  its  ratings of all of the
State's  outstanding  general  obligation  bonds from A to A- and  continued its
negative rating outlook  assessment on the State's general  obligation  debt. On
February  14,  1994,  S&P raised its outlook to positive on the State's  general
obligation  debt.  On June 27,  1994,  S&P  confirmed  its A- rating and Moody's
reconfirmed its A rating on the State's general obligation debt. Ratings reflect
only the respective views of such organizations. See Appendix B for descriptions
of the  ratings of Moody's  and S&P.  There is no  assurance  that a  particular
rating will  continue  for any given period of time or that any such rating will
not be revised downward or withdrawn  entirely if, in the judgment of the agency
originally  establishing  the  rating,  circumstances  so  warrant.  A  downward
revision or withdrawal of such ratings,  or either of them,  may have an adverse
effect on the market price of the State's outstanding general obligation bonds.

AUTHORITIES

         The fiscal stability of the State is related to the fiscal stability of
its Authorities, which generally have responsibility for financing, constructing
and operating  revenue-producing public benefit facilities.  Authorities are not
subject to the constitutional restrictions on the incurrence of debt which apply
to the State itself, and may issue bonds and notes within the amounts of, and as
otherwise  restricted by, their legislative  authorization.  As of September 30,
1993, the latest data available,  there were 18 Authorities that had outstanding
debt  of $100  million  or  more.  The  aggregate  outstanding  debt,  including
refunding  bonds,  of these 18 Authorities was $63.5 billion as of September 30,
1993. As of March 31, 1994,  aggregate  public  authority  debt  outstanding  as
State-supported  debt was  $21.1  billion  and as  State-related  debt was $29.4
billion.  The State  provided  $947.4  million and $955.5  million in  financial
assistance to the 18 Authorities  during the State's  1991-92 and 1992-93 fiscal
years,  respectively,  and expects to provide approximately  $1,096.6 million in
financial  assistance to these Authorities in its 1993-94 fiscal year. Over this
time period, the Metropolitan  Transportation Authority ("MTA") received or will
receive more than 90 percent of this financial assistance. The amounts set forth
above  exclude  amounts  provided  for  capital  construction  and  pursuant  to
lease-purchase  or  contractual-obligation  (including  service  contract  debt)
financing arrangements.

         Authorities  are  generally  supported  by  revenues  generated  by the
projects  financed or  operated,  such as fares,  user fees on bridges,  highway
tolls and rentals for dormitory rooms and housing. In recent years, however, the
State has provided financial assistance through appropriations, in some cases of
a recurring nature, to certain Authorities for operating and other expenses and,
in fulfillment of its commitments on moral obligation indebtedness or otherwise,
for debt  service.  This  assistance  is  expected to continue to be required in
future years.

         The State's  experience has been that if an Authority  suffers  serious
financial  difficulties  both the  ability of the State and the  Authorities  to
obtain  financing  in the public  credit  markets  and the  market  price of the
State's  outstanding  bonds and notes may be  adversely  affected.  The New York
State  Housing  Finance  Agency  and  the  New  York  State  Urban   Development
Corporation have in the past required substantial amounts of assistance from the
State  to  meet  debt  service  costs  or to  pay  operating  expenses.  Further
assistance, possibly in increasing amounts, may be required for these, or other,
Authorities in the future. In addition,  certain statutory  arrangements provide
for State local assistance  payments  otherwise payable to localities to be made
under certain circumstances to certain Authorities.  The State has no obligation
to provide additional  assistance to localities whose local assistance  payments
have been paid to Authorities under these  arrangements.  However,  in the event
that such local  assistance  payments are so diverted,  the affected  localities
could seek additional State funds.

         METROPOLITAN  TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY: The MTA continues to experience
financial  difficulties  requiring financial  assistance from the State. The MTA
oversees  the  operation of New York City's (the "City") bus and subway lines by
the New York City Transit  Authority and the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit
Operating  Authority  (collectively  the  "Transit  Authority"  or the "TA") and
through its several subsidiaries,  operates certain commuter rail, bus and rapid
transit lines in Staten Island and the New York  metropolitan  area. The MTA has
depended and will continue to depend upon operating support from Federal,  State
and local government  sources and from an MTA affiliate,  the Triborough  Bridge
and Tunnel Authority ("TBTA").

         Over  the  past   several   years  the  State   has   enacted   several
taxes--including a surcharge on the profits of banks, insurance corporations and
general  business  corporations  doing  business in the  12-county  Metropolitan
Transportation  Region served by the MTA and a special  one-quarter of 1 percent
regional  sales and use tax--that  provide  revenues for mass transit  purposes,
including  assistance to the MTA. In addition,  in March 1987,  legislation  was
enacted that  creates an  additional  source of recurring  revenues for the MTA.
This  legislation  requires  that the proceeds of a  one-quarter  of 1% mortgage
recording  tax paid on  certain  mortgages  in the  Metropolitan  Transportation
Region that heretofore had been paid to the State of New York Mortgage Agency be
deposited  in a special MTA fund.  These tax proceeds may be used by the MTA for
either operating or capital (including debt service) expenses. Further, in 1993,
the State  dedicated  a  portion  of the State  petroleum  business  tax to fund
operating or capital  assistance  to the MTA. For the 1994-95 State fiscal year,
total State assistance to the MTA is estimated at approximately $1.3 billion.

         In 1993, State legislation  authorized the funding of a five-year $9.56
billion  MTA capital  plan for the  five-year  period,  1992  through  1996 (the
"1992-96 Capital Program"). The MTA has received approval of the 1992-96 Capital
Program based on this legislation from the 1992-96 Capital Program Review Board,
as State law requires.  This is the third  five-year plan since the  Legislature
authorized  procedures  for the adoption,  approval and amendment of a five-year
plan in 1981 for a capital  program  designed to upgrade the  performance of the
MTA's  transportation  systems  and  to  supplement,  replace  and  rehabilitate
facilities  and  equipment.  The  MTA,  the  TBTA  and  the TA are  collectively
authorized  to issue an  aggregate  of $3.1  billion  of bonds  (net of  certain
statutory  exclusions) to finance a portion of the 1992-96 Capital Program.  The
1992-96 Capital  Program is expected to be financed in significant  part through
the dedication of State petroleum business taxes referred to above.

         There can be no assurance that all the necessary  governmental  actions
for the 1992-96  Capital Program will be taken,  that funding sources  currently
identified  will not be decreased  or  eliminated,  or that the 1992-96  Capital
Program,  or parts  thereof,  will not be delayed or reduced.  Furthermore,  the
power  of the  MTA to  issue  certain  bonds  expected  to be  supported  by the
appropriation  of State  petroleum  business taxes is currently the subject of a
court challenge. If the 1992-96 Capital Program is delayed or reduced, ridership
and fare revenues may decline, which could, among other things, impair the MTA's
ability to meet its operating expenses without additional State assistance.

         For 1993,  the TA  originally  projected a budget gap of  approximately
$266 million. The MTA Board approved an increase in TBTA tolls which took effect
January  31,  1993.  Since  the  TBTA  operating   surplus  helps  subsidize  TA
operations,   the  January  toll   increase  on  TBTA   facilities,   and  other
developments, reduced the projected gap to approximately $241 million.

         Legislation  passed  in April  1993  relating  to the  MTA's  1992-1996
Capital  Program  reflected a plan for closing this gap without raising fares. A
major element of the plan  provides  that the TA receive a significant  share of
the petroleum  business tax which will be paid directly to MTA for its agencies.
The plan also relies on certain City  actions that have not yet been taken.  The
plan also relies on MTA and TA resources projected to be available to help close
the gap.

         If any of the  assumptions  used  in  making  these  projections  prove
incorrect,  the TA's gap  could  grow,  and the TA  would  be  required  to seek
additional State assistance, raise fares or take other actions.

         Two serious  accidents in December  1990 and August 1991,  which caused
fatalities and many injuries,  have given rise to substantial claims for damages
against both the TA and the City.

         A subway fire on December  28, 1990 and a subway  derailment  on August
28, 1991, each of which caused fatalities and many injuries,  have given rise to
substantial claims for damages against both the TA and the City.

         RATING  AGENCIES'  ACTIONS:  In 1991,  S&P and Moody's  downgraded  the
outstanding TBTA mortgage  recording tax bonds from A to BBB+ and from A to Baa,
respectively.  On May 1,  1991,  S&P  placed the MTA's  nearly  $1.7  billion of
transit  facilities  revenue  and  commuter  facilities  revenue  bonds  on  S&P
CreditWatch  , with negative  implications  and assigned it a rating of BBB+. On
April 14, 1992,  Moody's lowered its rating of the MTA transit bonds to Baa from
Baa1.

                                   LOCALITIES

THE CITY OF NEW YORK

         The fiscal health of the State is closely  related to the fiscal health
of its  localities,  particularly  the City which has required and  continues to
require significant State financial  assistance.  There can be no assurance that
in the  future  State  assistance  will  enable  the City to make up its  budget
deficits.

         The City's independently audited operating results for each of its 1981
through  1993 fiscal  years,  which end on June 30, show a General  Fund surplus
reported in accordance with GAAP. The City has eliminated the cumulative deficit
in its net General Fund position.  In addition,  the City's financial statements
for the 1993  fiscal  year  received  an  unqualified  opinion  from the  City's
independent  auditors,  the eleventh consecutive year the City has received such
an opinion.

         In  response  to the  City's  fiscal  crisis in 1975,  the State took a
number of steps to assist the City in returning to fiscal stability. Among these
actions, the State created the Municipal Assistance  Corporation for the City of
New York ("MAC") to provide  financing  assistance  to the City.  The State also
enacted the New York State Financial Emergency Act for The City of New York (the
"Financial  Emergency Act") which, among other things,  established the New York
State  Financial  Control  Board (the  "Control  Board")  to oversee  the City's
financial  affairs.  The State also  established  the Office of the State Deputy
Comptroller  for the City of New York  ("OSDC") to assist the  Control  Board in
exercising its powers and responsibilities.

         The City operates  under a four-year  financial  plan which is prepared
annually and is  periodically  updated.  On June 30, 1986,  the Control  Board's
powers of approval over the City's financial plan were suspended pursuant to the
Financial  Emergency Act.  However,  the Control Board, MAC and OSDC continue to
exercise various monitoring functions relating to the City's financial position.
The City  submits its  financial  plans as well as the  periodic  updates to the
Control Board for its review.

         Estimates of the City's revenues and expenditures are based on numerous
assumptions  and are subject to various  uncertainties.  If expected  Federal or
State  aid  is not  forthcoming,  if  unforeseen  developments  in  the  economy
significantly  reduce  revenues  derived from  economically  sensitive  taxes or
necessitate  increased  expenditures for public  assistance,  if the City should
negotiate wage increases for its employees greater than the amounts provided for
in the City's financial plan or if other  uncertainties  materialize that reduce
expected revenues or increase projected  expenditures,  then, to avoid operating
deficits,  the City may be required to implement  additional actions,  including
increases in taxes and  reductions in essential  City  services.  The City might
also seek additional assistance from the State.

1995-1998 FINANCIAL PLAN

         On July 8, 1994,  the City  submitted  to the Control  Board (the "1994
Modification")  a fourth quarter  modification to the City's  Financial Plan for
the 1994 fiscal year which  projects a balanced  budget in accordance  with GAAP
for the 1994 fiscal year, after taking into account a discretionary  transfer of
$171 million in resources  to the 1995 fiscal  year.  On July 8, 1994,  the City
submitted  to the Control  Board the  Financial  Plan for the  1995-1998  fiscal
years,  which relates to the City,  the Board of Education  ("BOE") and the City
University  of New York  ("CUNY").  The  Financial  Plan is based on the  City's
expense and capital budgets for the City's 1995 fiscal year,  which were adopted
on June 23, 1994.

         The 1995-1998 Financial Plan projects revenues and expenditures for the
1995 fiscal year balanced in accordance  with GAAP. The projections for the 1995
fiscal year  reflect  proposed  actions to close a previously  projected  gap of
approximately  $2.3 billion for the 1995 fiscal year, which include City actions
aggregating $1.9 billion, a $288 million increase in State actions over the 1994
and 1995 fiscal years,  and a $200 million increase in Federal  Assistance.  The
City actions include proposed agency actions aggregating $1.1 billion, including
productivity savings; tax and fee enforcement  initiatives;  service reductions;
and savings from the  restructuring of City services.  City actions also include
savings of $45 million  resulting  from  proposed  tort  reform,  the  projected
transfer to the 1995 fiscal year of $171  million of the  projected  1994 fiscal
year  surplus,  savings of $200  million for  employee  health  care costs,  $51
million in reduced pension costs,  savings of $225 million from refinancing City
bonds and $65  million  from the  proposed  sale of  certain  City  assets.  The
proposed  savings  for  employee  health  care costs are  subject to  collective
bargaining  negotiation  with the City's unions.  The proposed savings from tort
reform will require the approval of the State  Legislature  and the $200 million
increase  in Federal  assistance  is subject to  approval  by  Congress  and the
President.

         The  Financial  Plan also sets forth  projections  for the 1996 through
1998 fiscal years and outlines a proposed gap-closing program to close projected
gaps of $1.5  billion,  $2.0  billion and $2.4 billion for the 1996 through 1998
fiscal years, respectively,  after successful implementation of the $2.3 billion
gap-closing program for the 1995 fiscal year.

         The  projections  for the 1996  through  1998 fiscal  years  assume the
extension  by the State  Legislature  of the 14% personal  income tax  surcharge
beyond  calendar  year 1995 and  extension  of the  12.5%  personal  income  tax
surcharge  beyond  calendar  year 1996,  resulting in combined  revenues of $159
million,  $633 million and $920 million in the 1996, 1997 and 1998 fiscal years,
respectively.  However,  as part of the tax reduction  program  reflected in the
Financial  Plan,  the City is proposing the  elimination  of the 12.5%  personal
income tax  surcharge  when it expires at a cost of $184  million in fiscal year
1997 and $455  million in fiscal year 1998.  The  proposed  gap-closing  actions
include City actions aggregating $1.2 billion,  $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion in
the 1996 through 1998 fiscal years, respectively; $275 million, $375 million and
$525  million in proposed  additional  State  actions in the 1996  through  1998
fiscal years,  respectively,  primarily  from the proposed  State  assumption of
certain Medicaid costs; and $100 million and $200 million in proposed additional
Federal assistance in the 1997 and 1998 fiscal years, respectively. The proposed
additional City actions, a substantial number of which are unspecified,  include
additional  spending  reductions,   the  reduction  of  City  personnel  through
attrition,  government efficiency initiatives,  procurement  initiatives,  labor
productivity  initiatives,   and  the  proposed  privatization  of  City  sewage
treatment plans. Certain of these initiatives may be subject to negotiation with
the City's municipal unions.  Various actions proposed in the Financial Plan for
the 1996-1998 fiscal years, including the proposed state actions, are subject to
approval by the Governor and the State Legislature, and the proposed increase in
Federal  assistance  is subject to approval by Congress and the  President.  The
State Legislature has in previous legislative sessions failed to approve certain
of the City's  proposals for the State  assumption of certain Medicaid costs and
mandate  relief,  thereby  increasing  the  uncertainty as to the receipt of the
State assistance included in the Financial Plan. In addition, the Financial Plan
assumes the  continuation  of the current  assumption  with respect to wages for
City employees and the assumed 9% earnings on pension fund assets  affecting the
City's pension fund  contributions.  Actual  earnings on pension fund assets for
the 1994 fiscal year are expected to be substantially below the 9% assumed rate,
which will  increase the City's future  pension  contributions.  In addition,  a
review of the pension fund earnings  assumptions  is currently  being  conducted
which could  further  increase  the City's  future  pension  contributions  by a
substantial amount.

         The City  expects  that tax  revenue  for the 1994  fiscal year will be
approximately $65 million less than forecast in the 1994 Modification, primarily
due  to  shortfalls  in  the  personal  income  tax  and  sales  tax,  and  that
expenditures   will  be   approximately   $25  million  greater  than  forecast.
Accordingly, the $171 million of the projected surplus for the 1994 fiscal year,
which is currently  projected in the 1994 Modification and the Financial Plan to
be  transferred  to the 1995 fiscal year,  will  decrease to $81  million.  As a
result,  the City will  reduce  expenditures  for the 1995 fiscal year to offset
this  decrease,  which  is  expected  to  be  reflected  in  the  first  quarter
modification to the Financial Plan. In addition, the Financial Plan assumes that
a special  session of the State  Legislature  will enact,  and the Governor will
sign, State legislation  relating to the proposed tort reform,  which would save
the City $45 million in payments  for tort  liability  in fiscal year 1995,  and
certain  anticipated  improvements in fine and fee collections  forecast to earn
$25 million in City revenue in fiscal year 1995, and that the State  Legislature
will not enact proposed  legislation  mandating  additional pension benefits for
City retirees costing the City approximately  $200 million annually.  To address
these and other possible contingencies,  on July 25, 1994, the Mayor stated that
he will reserve $250 million from authorized spending by City agencies in fiscal
year 1995 by reserving a portion of the spending  authorized  by  appropriation,
and that he may  require  agencies  to reduce  spending  by an  additional  $200
million in the 1995 fiscal year in addition to the existing  general  reserve of
$150 million.

         The City's  financial  plans have been the subject of extensive  public
comment and criticism. On August 2, 1994 the City Comptroller issued a report on
the Financial Plan. The City Comptroller  stated that the total risk could be as
much  as  $768  million  to  $968  million  for  the  1995  fiscal  year,   with
substantially greater risks for the remaining years of the Financial Plan.

         On February 14, 1995, the Mayor released the Preliminary Budget for the
City's 1996 fiscal year (commencing  July 1, 1995),  which addresses a projected
$2.7 billion budget gap. Most of the gap-closing  initiatives may be implemented
only  with the  cooperation  of the  City's  municipal  unions,  or the State or
Federal governments.

         The  1995-1998  Financial  Plan  is  based  on  numerous   assumptions,
including the continuing  improvement in the City's and the region's economy and
a modest  employment  recovery  during  calendar  year 1994 and the  concomitant
receipt of  economically  sensitive tax revenues in the amounts  projected.  The
1995-1998   Financial  Plan  is  subject  to  various  other  uncertainties  and
contingencies  relating to, among other  factors,  the extent,  if any, to which
wage increases for City employees  exceed the annual  increases  assumed for the
1995  through  1998  fiscal  years;  continuation  of the 9%  interest  earnings
assumptions  for pension  fund assets and current  assumptions  with  respect to
wages  for  City   employees   affecting  the  City's   required   pension  fund
contributions;  the  willingness and ability of the State, in the context of the
State's  current  financial  condition,  to provide the aid  contemplated by the
Financial  Plan and to take various other actions to assist the City,  including
the proposed State takeover of certain  Medicaid costs and State mandate relief;
the ability of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, BOE and other
such  agencies to maintain  balanced  budgets;  the  willingness  of the Federal
government to provide Federal aid; approval of the proposed  continuation of the
personal  income  tax  surcharge;  adoption  of the  City's  budgets by the City
Council in  substantially  the forms submitted by the Mayor;  the ability of the
City to implement proposed reductions in City personnel and other cost reduction
initiatives,  which may require in certain cases the  cooperation  of the City's
municipal  unions,  and the success with which the City  controls  expenditures;
savings for health care costs for City employees in the amounts projected in the
Financial  Plan;  additional  expenditures  that  may  be  incurred  due  to the
requirements  of certain  legislation  requiring  minimum  levels of funding for
education; the impact on real estate tax revenues of the current weakness in the
real estate market; the City's ability to market its securities  successfully in
the public  credit  markets;  the level of funding  required  to comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and additional expenditures that may be
incurred  as  a  result  of   deterioration  in  the  condition  of  the  City's
infrastructure.  Certain of these  assumptions  have been questioned by the City
Comptroller and other public officials.

BORROWINGS AND RATINGS AGENCIES ACTIONS

         The City requires certain amounts of financing for seasonal and capital
spending  purposes.  The  City  projects  a need of  $2.2  billion  in  seasonal
financing  for fiscal  year 1995 which  will be met with the  proceeds  of notes
issued by the City.  The City's capital  financing  program  projects  long-term
financing  requirements  of  approximately  $17.8  billion for the City's fiscal
years 1995 through 1998 for the  construction and  rehabilitation  of the City's
infrastructure  and other fixed assets. The major capital  requirements  include
expenditures  for the City's  water  supply  system,  sewage and waste  disposal
systems, roads, bridges, mass transit, schools and housing.

         On February 11, 1991,  Moody's lowered its rating of the City's general
obligation  bonds to Baa1  from A. The Baa1  rating  has since  been  reaffirmed
several times, with the most recent  confirmation on November 15, 1993.  Moody's
has stated that audited results indicate a modest  operating  surplus for fiscal
1993,  continuing the City's extended record of balancing  annual  operations as
required by law.  The City has  achieved  this  performance  despite  continuing
expenditure pressures and an unbudgeted increase in labor costs resulting from a
collective  bargaining  settlement.  Increased  receipts of non-property  taxes,
savings in debt service  costs,  and  reductions  in hiring helped to offset the
added  expenditures.  The  City has used the  1993  surplus  to  prepay  certain
expenditures  for fiscal 1994. The audit  indicates that the surplus is somewhat
larger than initially estimated,  providing additional resources for the current
year. The fiscal 1994 budget is nominally balanced,  in part through reliance on
one-shot revenues,  but contains a number of risks. As in prior years,  one-shot
revenues  represent a  substantial  portion of the plan to close a baseline  gap
estimated  at over $2 billion.  Although the use of one-shots is greater in this
budget  than in those of the prior two years,  it is less than in fiscal 1990 or
1991. The gap-closing  plan relies on additional State and Federal aid, the sale
of   property   tax   receivables,    savings   from   debt   refundings,    and
as-yet-unspecified expenditure reductions. Some of these measures are subject to
a degree of uncertainty,  as are certain other elements of the budget, and it is
likely  that  further  gaps  will  appear as the  fiscal  year  progresses.  The
Financial Plan for fiscal 1995 and beyond shows an ongoing imbalance between the
City's expenditures and revenues.

         S&P has rated the City's general obligation bonds A- since November 19,
1987. The most recent  confirmation  of the A- rating  occurred on July 2, 1994.
S&P has stated that  maintenance  of such rating  depended  upon the City making
further  progress  towards  reducing budget gaps in the outlying years.  S&P has
stated that the A- rating  reflects a broad based  economy  that  remains  under
recessionary  stress,  a relatively high debt burden,  and a history of balanced
financial  operations.  The outlook for future  balanced  budgets  remains under
stress  based  on  projected  deficits  of $1.5  billion-$2.0  billion,  current
taxation levels and maintenance of spending programs.  The City recently elected
a new Mayor and  Comptroller;  it is too early to assess any policy changes that
may result from the new leadership,  although the Mayor-elect  indicated that he
would seek to  dramatically  reduce the City's  work force and attempt to reduce
the City's high tax burden.  Given the City's current financial  outlook,  these
goals are  aggressive.  The City  still  faces a  potential  budget  gap of $300
million-$400  million for the current year,  and the January 1994 financial plan
is likely to give the first real  indications  of how the new Mayor will address
the City's chronic budget imbalance.

         Such  ratings  reflect  only the views of Moody's and S&P from which an
explanation  of the  significance  of such ratings may be obtained.  There is no
assurance  that such ratings will  continue for any given period of time or that
they will not be revised  downward  or  withdrawn  entirely.  Any such  downward
revision or withdrawal could have an adverse effect on the market prices of such
securities.

LOCALITIES OTHER THAN THE CITY OF NEW YORK

         Certain  localities  other  than New York  City  could  have  financial
problems leading to requests for additional State assistance  during the State's
1994-95 fiscal year and  thereafter.  The potential  impact on the State of such
requests by  localities  is not included in  projections  of State  revenues and
expenditures in the State's 1994-95 fiscal year.

         Fiscal  difficulties  experienced  by the City of  Yonkers  ("Yonkers")
resulted in the creation of the  Financial  Control Board of the City of Yonkers
(the  "Yonkers  Board") by the State in 1984.  The Yonkers Board is charged with
oversight of the fiscal affairs of Yonkers. Future actions taken by the Governor
or the State  Legislature  to assist Yonkers could result in allocation of State
resources in amounts that cannot yet be determined.

         Moody's  stated in its  January  6, 1992  downgrade  of  certain  State
obligations  that while such action did not directly  affect the bond ratings of
local governments in New York State, the impact of the State's fiscal stringency
on local government bond ratings will be assessed on a case-by-case  basis. With
S&P's  January 13, 1992  downgrade  of certain  State  obligations,  under S&P's
minimum  rating  approach New York local school  district  debt will now carry a
minimum rating of A- rather than A and school  districts  currently rated A were
placed on CreditWatch with negative implications.

CERTAIN MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS

         Municipalities   and  school  districts  have  engaged  in  substantial
short-term  and long-term  borrowings.  In 1992, the total  indebtedness  of all
localities in the State was approximately  $35.2 billion, of which $19.5 billion
was debt of the City  (excluding  $5.5  billion  in MAC debt);  a small  portion
(approximately  $71.6 million) of the $35.2 billion of  indebtedness  represents
borrowing  to finance  budgetary  deficits  and was issued  pursuant to enabling
State  legislation.  State law  requires  the  Comptroller  to  review  and make
recommendations  concerning  the budgets of those local  government  units other
than New York City  authorized  by State law to issue debt to  finance  deficits
during  the  period  that  such  deficit  financing  is  outstanding.  Seventeen
localities had outstanding  indebtedness  for deficit  financing at the close of
their  fiscal  years  ending  in  1992.  Certain  proposed  federal  expenditure
reductions  could reduce,  or in some cases  eliminate,  federal funding of some
local programs and accordingly might impose  substantial  increased  expenditure
requirements on affected  localities to increase local revenues to sustain those
expenditures.  If the State,  the City or any of the Authorities  were to suffer
serious  financial  difficulties  jeopardizing  their  respective  access to the
public credit markets, the marketability of notes and bonds issued by localities
within the State could be adversely  affected.  Localities also face anticipated
and potential  problems  resulting  from certain  pending  litigation,  judicial
decisions,  and long-range economic trends. The longer-range  potential problems
of declining  urban  population,  increasing  expenditures,  and other  economic
trends could adversely  affect certain  localities and require  increasing State
assistance in the future.

         In 1992, an unusually large number of local  government units requested
authorization for deficit  financings.  According to the Comptroller,  ten local
government  units were  authorized to issue  deficit  financing in the aggregate
amount of $131.1  million,  including  Nassau County for $65 million in six-year
deficit bonds and Suffolk County for $36 million in six-year  deficit bonds. The
current  session of the  Legislature  may receive as many or more  requests  for
deficit-financing  authorizations as a result of deficits previously incurred by
local  governments.  Although the  Comptroller  has indicated  that the level of
deficit financing requests in unprecedented,  such developments are not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the State.

LITIGATION

         The legal  proceedings  noted below involve State finances in which the
State is a defendant  and the monetary  damages  sought are  substantial.  These
proceedings  could affect adversely the financial  condition of the State in the
1994-95 fiscal year or thereafter.

         Adverse  developments  in these  proceedings  or the  initiation of new
proceedings could affect the ability of the State to maintain a balanced 1994-95
State  Financial  Plan. An adverse  decision in any of these  proceedings  could
exceed the amount of the 1994-95 State Financial Plan reserve for the payment of
judgments  and,  therefore,  could affect the ability of the State to maintain a
balanced  1994-95  State  Financial  Plan.  In its Notes to its General  Purpose
Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, the State reports
its estimated  liability for awarded and  anticipated  unfavorable  judgments at
$675 million.  The State believes that the 1994-95 State Financial Plan includes
sufficient reserves for the payment of judgments that may be required during the
1994-95 fiscal year.

         Although  other  litigation  is pending  against  the State,  except as
described  below, no current  litigation  involves the State's  authority,  as a
matter of law,  to contract  indebtedness,  issue its  obligations,  or pay such
indebtedness  when it matures,  or affects the  State's  power or ability,  as a
matter of law, to impose or collect significant amounts of taxes and revenues.

         In addition to the proceedings noted below, the State is party to other
claims and  litigation  which its legal  counsel has advised are not probable of
adverse court decisions.  Although the amounts of potential  losses, if any, are
not  presently  determinable,  it is  the  State's  opinion  that  its  ultimate
liability  in these cases is not expected to have a material  adverse  effect on
the State's financial position in the 1994-95 fiscal year or thereafter.

ABANDONED PROPERTY LAW

         On  May  31,  1988,  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  took
jurisdiction  of a  claim  of the  State  of  Delaware  that  certain  unclaimed
dividends,  interest and other  distributions  made by issuers of securities and
held by New York-based brokers  incorporated in Delaware,  for beneficial owners
who cannot be identified or located, had been, and were being,  wrongfully taken
by the State of New York pursuant to New York's Abandoned Property Law (State of
Delaware v. State of New York,  United States Supreme Court).  Texas intervened,
claiming a portion of such distributions and similar property taken by the State
of New York from New York-based banks and depositories incorporated in Delaware.
All other states and the District of Columbia moved to intervene.  In a decision
dated  March 30,  1993,  the United  States  Supreme  Court  granted all pending
motions of the states and the District of Columbia to intervene and remanded the
case to a Special  Master for further  proceedings  consistent  with the Court's
decision.  The Court  determined that the abandoned  property should be remitted
first  to  the  state  of  the  beneficial   owner's  last  known  address,   if
ascertainable,  and,  if  not,  then  to  the  state  of  incorporation  of  the
intermediary bank, broker or depository.  By agreement among New York, Delaware,
Massachusetts  and all other parties in the action,  remaining  claims have been
settled.  Pursuant to agreements executed by New York in the action, New York is
required to make aggregate  payments of $351.4  million,  of which $90.3 million
have been made. Annual payments to the various parties will continue through the
State's  2002-03  fiscal year in amounts  which will not exceed $48.4 million in
any fiscal year subsequent to the State's 1994-95 fiscal year.

INSURANCE LAW

         Several  cases  challenge  provisions  of Section  2807-c of the Public
Health Law,  which impose a 13%  surcharge on inpatient  hospital  bills paid by
commercial  insurers and employee welfare benefit plans, and portions of Chapter
55 of the Laws of 1992 which require  hospitals to impose and remit to the State
an 11% surcharge on hospital bills paid by commercial insurers and which require
health maintenance  organizations to remit to the State a surcharge of up to 9%.
In The Travelers Insurance Company v. Cuomo, et al., commenced June 2, 1992, and
The  Health  Insurance  Association  of  America,  et al.  v.  Chassin,  et al.,
commenced  July 20,  1992,  both in the  United  States  District  Court for the
Southern  District  of New York and  consolidated,  plaintiffs  allege  that the
surcharges  are  preempted by Federal law. In that  consolidated  case, by order
dated February 3, 1993, the District  Court has granted  plaintiffs'  motion for
summary judgment and has enjoined enforcement of the 13%, 11% and 9% surcharges.
Defendants'  appeal is  pending in the United  States  Court of Appeals  for the
Second Circuit. In Matter of Hospital  Association of New York State v. Chassin,
et al.  (Supreme Court,  Albany County),  by decision dated November 2, 1992 the
Supreme Court upheld as constitutional  the legislation which authorizes the 11%
surcharge;  plaintiff's  appeal is  pending  in the  Appellate  Division,  Third
Department.

         In Trustees of and The  Pension,  Hospitalization  Benefit  Plan of the
Electrical Industry, et al. v. Cuomo, et al., commenced November 25, 1992 in the
United States  District  Court for the Eastern  District of New York,  plaintiff
employee  welfare  benefit plans seek a declaratory  judgment  nullifying on the
ground of Federal  preemption  provisions of Section 2807-c of the Public Health
Law and  implementing  regulations  which  impose a bad debt  and  charity  care
allowance on all hospital  bills and a 13% surcharge on inpatient  bills paid by
employee welfare benefit plans.

PUBLIC AUTHORITY FINANCING PROGRAMS

         In a proceeding commenced on August 6, 1991 (Schulz, et al. v. State of
New York, et al.,  Supreme  Court,  Albany  County),  petitioners  challenge the
constitutionality  of  two  bonding  programs  of the  New  York  State  Thruway
Authority  authorized  by Chapters 166 and 410 of the Laws of 1991.  Petitioners
argue that cooperative highway  contractual  agreements and service contracts to
be entered into by the State and the Thruway  Authority in  connection  with the
bonding  programs  constitute  State debt and a gift or loan of State  credit in
violation  of Sections 8 and 11 of Article VII and Section 5 of Article X of the
State Constitution.

         In Schulz, et al. v. State of New York, et al., commenced May 24, 1993,
Supreme Court, Albany County,  petitioners  challenged,  among other things, the
constitutionality  of, and sought to enjoin,  certain  highway,  bridge and mass
transportation  bonding programs of the New York State Thruway Authority and the
Metropolitan  Transportation  Authority  authorized by Chapter 56 of the Laws of
1993.  Petitioners  contend that the  application  of State tax receipts held in
dedicated  transportation  funds to pay  debt  service  on bonds of the  Thruway
Authority and of the Metropolitan  Transportation  Authority violated Sections 8
and 11 of Article VII and Section 5 of Article X of the State  Constitution  and
due process provisions of the State and Federal Constitutions. On June 30, 1994,
the Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the rulings of the trial court and the
Appellate  Division  in favor of the State and upheld the  constitutionality  of
certain highway, bridge and mass transportation bonding programs of the New York
State Thruway Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority authorized
by Chapter 56 of the Laws of 1993.

         In upholding  the State's  position,  the Court of Appeals  found that,
because the State itself does not become  "indebted"  in financing  arrangements
with public authorities where the State's obligation to make payments is subject
to appropriation,  such as lease-purchase and  contractual-obligation  financing
arrangements  described  in the  State's  Annual  Information  Statement,  those
financing arrangements do not constitute  indebtedness of the State for purposes
of the  State  constitutional  limits  on debt and are thus not  required  to be
submitted to the voters for approval at a general election.

         Plaintiffs'  motion for  reargument  before  the Court of  Appeals  was
denied on September 1, 1994.  Plaintiffs'  petition to the United States Supreme
Court for a writ of certiorari was denied on January 23, 1995.

TAX LAW

         In  American   Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  v.  New  York  State
Department  of Taxation  and  Finance,  commenced  December  30, 1991 in Supreme
Court,  New  York  County,  plaintiff  challenged  Tax  Law  ss.186-a(2a)  as in
violation of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. That statute
restricted a deduction  from income of local access  service fees to  interstate
and international revenues prior to apportionment to New York. Plaintiff alleged
that the  pre-apportionment  deduction  favored wholly  intrastate long distance
carriers over interstate long distance carriers. By opinion dated June 16, 1994,
the Court of Appeals held Tax Law  ss.186-a(2-a) to be  unconstitutional  and by
decision dated September 1, 1994, the Court of Appeals denied defendant's motion
for reargument.

         Aspects of petroleum  business taxes are the subject of  administrative
claims and litigation  (e.g.,  Tug Buster  Bouchard,  et al. v. Wetzlu,  Supreme
Court,  Albany County,  commenced  November 13, 1992).  In Tug Buster  Bouchard,
petitioner corporations,  which purchase fuel out of State and consume such fuel
within the State,  contend that the  assessment  of the  petroleum  business tax
pursuant  to Tax Law ss.301 on such fuel  violates  the  Commerce  Clause of the
United States Constitution.  Petitioners contend that the application of section
301 to the interstate transaction but not to purchasers who purchase and consume
fuel within the State discriminates against interstate commerce.

STATE PROGRAMS

         In Matter of New York State Health Facilities Association, Inc., et al.
v. Azelrod,  Supreme Court,  Albany County,  commenced 1990,  petitioner nursing
homes  challenge  regulations  of the  State  Department  of  Health  (10  NYCRR
ss.86-2.10  (c) and (d)) which  reduce base  prices for the direct and  indirect
components of Medicaid reimbursement for rate years commencing 1989.
