MICHIGAN DAILY TAX FREE INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

================================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.

Michigan  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 has two classes of stock authorized,  Class A and Class B.
The Class A shares are subject to a service fee pursuant to the Distribution and
Service Plan. The Class B shares are not subject to a service fee. Additionally,
the  Fund may  allocate  among  its  classes  certain  expenses,  to the  extent
allowable  to  specific  classes,  including  transfer  agent  fees,  government
registration  fees,  certain printing and postage costs, and  administrative and
legal expenses. Class Specific expenses of the Fund were limited to distribution
fees and transfer agent expenses.  In all other respects the Class A and Class B
shares  represent  the same  interest  in the  income  and  assets  of the Fund.
Distribution of Class B shares commenced on October 10, 1996 and all Fund shares
outstanding  before October 10, 1996 were designated as Class A shares. 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. (the Manager) at the annual rate of
 .30% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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.

2.  Investment   Management  Fees  and  Other   Transactions   with  Affiliates.

Rule 12b-1, the Fund and Reich & Tang Distributors,  Inc. (the Distributor) have

Shareholder  Servicing  Agreement,  the Distributor  receives from the Fund with
respect  only to the  Class A shares 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 year  ended  February  28,  1998,  the  Manager  voluntarily  waived
investment management fees of $105,004.

Fees are paid to Directors who are unaffiliated with the Manager on the basis of

financial     institutions.     The    Fund     maintains     a    policy     of
