CALIFORNIA DAILY TAX FREE INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
===============================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.
California Daily Tax Free Income Fund, Inc. is a no-load, non-diversified,
open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. The Fund is a short-term, tax exempt money market Fund. Its
financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for investment companies as follows:
a) Valuation of Securities -
Investments are valued at amortized cost. Under this valuation method, a
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount or premium is
amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the instrument. The
maturity of variable rate demand instruments is deemed to be the longer of
the period required before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the
principal amount or the period remaining until the next interest rate
adjustment.
b) Federal Income Taxes -
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
all of its tax exempt and taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
provision for federal income tax is required.
c) Dividends and Distributions -
Dividends from investment income (excluding capital gains and losses, if
any, and amortization of market discount) are declared daily and paid
monthly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, realized on sales of
investments are made after the close of the Fund's fiscal year, as declared
by the Fund's Board of Directors.
d) Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in
net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
e) General -
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest
income is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Under the Investment Management Contract, the Fund pays an investment management
fee to Reich & Tang Asset Management L.P. (Manager) at the annual rate of .30%
of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Manager is required to reimburse the
Fund for its expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage, and
extraordinary expenses) to the extent that such expenses, including the
investment management and the shareholder servicing and administration fees, for
any fiscal year exceed 2.5% of the first $30 million of the Fund's average net
assets, 2% of the next $70 million of its average net assets, and 1.5% of its
average net assets in excess of $100 million. No such reimbursement was required
for the period ended June 30, 1996.

===============================================================================
2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
(Continued).
Pursuant to an Administrative Services Contract the Fund pays to the Manager an
annual fee of .21% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New England Investment Companies,
L.P. ("NEIC"). On August 16, 1995, New England Mutual Life Insurance Company
("The New England"), the owner of NEIC's general partner and a majority owner
of the limited partnership interest in NEIC, entered into an agreement to merge
with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife"), with MetLife to be the
survivor of the merger. The merger is subject to several conditions, including
the required approval, by shareholders of the Fund of a proposed new investment
advisory agreement, intended to take effect at the time of the merger. The new
agreement will be substantially similar to the existing agreement.
Pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted under Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 12b-1, the Fund and Reich & Tang Distributors L.P. (the Distributor) have
entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing Agreement.
For its services under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the Distributor
receives from the Fund a fee equal to .20% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. There were no additional expenses borne by the Fund pursuant to the
Distribution Plan.
During the period ended June 30, 1996, the Manager and the Distributor
voluntarily waived administration fees and shareholder servicing fees of $2,837
and $93,536, respectively.
Fees are paid to Directors who are unaffiliated with the Manager
on the basis of $2,000 per annum plus $250 per meeting attended.
Included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Shareholder
servicing and related shareholder expenses" are fees of $21,934 paid to Reich &
Tang Services L.P., an affiliate of the Manager, as servicing agent for the
Fund.
Included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Custodian expenses"
are expense offsets of $14,704.
3. Capital Stock.
At June 30, 1996, 20,000,000,000 shares of $.001 par value stock were
authorized and capital paid in amounted to $179,720,607. Transactions
in capital stock, all at $1.00 per share, were as follows:

4. Sales of Securities.
Accumulated undistributed realized losses at June 30, 1996 amounted to $15,612.
This amount represents tax basis capital losses which may be carried forward to
offset future capital gains. Such losses expire December 31, 1999 through
December 31, 2002.
5. Concentration of Credit Risk.
The Fund invests primarily in obligations of political subdivisions of the State
of California and, accordingly, is subject to the credit risk associated with
the non-performance of such issuers. Approximately 56% of these investments are
further secured, as to principal and interest, by letters of credit issued by
financial institutions. The Fund maintains a policy of monitoring its exposure
by reviewing the creditworthiness of the issuers, as well as that of the
financial institutions issuing the letters of credit, and by limiting the
amount of holdings with letters of credit from one financial institution.
