Dear TCU Investor,

     The 12-month period ended August 31, 1995 has been an eventful one, for
both the financial markets and the Trust for Credit Unions. We are pleased to
report that in a challenging environment TCU maintained its market share with
assets of over $1.4 billion to date, which made up approximately 50% of total
credit union mutual fund investments.*

     For the past year, credit union lending rose approximately 14% -- one of
the highest levels ever -- while shares grew by approximately 3.0%.* As a
result, credit unions shortened the maturities on their investment portfolios in
order to increase liquidity. While total credit union investments declined 10%
to $105 billion in the 12 months ended June 30, 1995, none of the decline came
from the less than one year to maturity category, which stayed constant at $62
billion.* TCU provides two alternatives, the TCU Money Market Portfolio and the
TCU Government Securities Portfolio, for credit unions targeting the short end
of the yield curve.

     Investor sensitivity to derivatives continued during the past year,
resulting in a dramatic decline in the demand for some of the more esoteric and
volatile instruments. In the case of the TCU portfolios, we want to assure you
that higher risk mortgage derivatives such as super floaters and inverse
floaters have never played a major role in our strategy. We have used these
instruments in very small percentages, for hedging purposes and, in certain
cases, for incremental expected return, and have managed the investments
extremely carefully.

     The rapidly changing investment climate during the past year demonstrates
the importance of combining Goldman Sachs Asset Management's professional
investment expertise with Callahan Financial Services' in-depth understanding of
the needs of credit unions. The TCU portfolios' positive performance reflects
the results of careful management of duration, sector and security selection as
well as the use of tactical trading strategies to profit from shorter term
opportunities.

     As always, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to
offering innovative solutions to meet your investing needs in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marcia L. Beck                      /s/ William F. Connors

Dear TCU Investor,

     We are pleased to review the past performance of each of the Trust for
Credit Unions portfolios for the one-year period ending August 31, 1995. To help
put the portfolios' performance in perspective, the following is a brief
overview of some of the key events affecting the economy and financial markets
during the period.

Economic Review:

After a Difficult 1994, the Bond Market Staged a Powerful Rally

     Rising interest rates took their toll on the U.S. bond market in 1994,
making it one of the most difficult years for bonds in recent memory. Starting
in January 1995, however, the bond market staged a rally that gained momentum
through midyear, fueled by slowing economic growth and relatively contained
inflation. In July and August, the bond market experienced a mild correction,
but by the end of August, bonds were again trending upward.

Robust Economy Faltered in March, but Later Recovered

     The economy accelerated during the first half of the fund's fiscal year,
from September 1994 through February 1995. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
grew at 4.0% and 5.1% in the third and fourth quarters of 1994, respectively.
Job growth, real disposable income, consumer spending, and sales of new and
existing homes all exhibited impressive strength.

     The high-flying economy began losing altitude in March and weakened further
during the second quarter, fanning fears of a more serious downturn. For the
first quarter of 1995, GDP increased at 2.7%, down sharply from the preceding
quarters. Other troubling indicators included weakening employment, declining
consumer spending, a dramatic drop in the purchasing manager's index and a
downward trending Index of Leading Economic Indicators.

     Following a spring dominated by generally poor economic readings, the
economy appeared to begin to revive in midsummer. The economy's response to
previous tightenings had begun to fade, and what appeared to be an inventory
correction cycle had come to an end. By August, employment, housing,
construction spending, auto sales and several other indicators showed some signs
of improvement. Furthermore, second-quarter real GDP growth -- originally
estimated as 0.5% --was revised upward to 1.1%.

Fed Raises Rates Twice During the Period, Then Cuts in July

     To head off a resurgence in inflation in the midst of a booming economy,
the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate by 75 basis points in
November 1994 and by an additional 50 basis points in February 1995. All told,
the Fed had raised rates seven times in its tightening cycle, by a total of 300
basis points, to 6.00%.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     The Fed then remained neutral through early July 1995, when it reversed
course. Prompted by receding inflationary pressures and a weakening economy, the
Fed cut the federal funds rate 25 basis points to 5.75%.

     The shape of the yield curve began flattening dramatically starting with
the November rate increase and continuing through the first half of 1995. The
yield on six-month Treasury bills rose from 5.02% on August 31, 1994 to
approximately 5.51% on August 31, 1995, due in large part to the Fed's actions.
For the same time period, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond fell
dramatically, from 7.45% a year ago to 6.65%.

                  The yield curve flattened considerably and
                  shifted downward at the longer end. The
                  yield difference between two-year Treasury
                  notes and 30-year Treasury bonds narrowed
                  significantly.


A Challenging ARM Market

     Interest rate fluctuations throughout the period under review had a direct
impact on the mortgage-backed securities market. In particular, adjustable rate
mortgage securities (ARMs), a key holding in the non-money market TCU
portfolios, went through three distinct phases during the past 12 months.

 .    At the start of the portfolio's fiscal year on September 1, 1994, spreads
     between ARMs and Treasuries widened due to the fear that ARMs would reach
     their periodic caps (the maximum their coupons can be raised within a
     specified time period) in the rising interest rate environment.

 .    This situation generally persisted through January 1995, at which point the
     ARM market entered a second phase: as interest rates stabilized, cap risk
     declined and the prospects for ARMs brightened. This favorable ARM
     environment continued through late spring, until interest rates began to
     decline.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
 .    Starting approximately in June 1995, spreads between ARMs and Treasuries
     began widening again, this time a result of increased prepayment risk based
     on the assumption homeowners would refinance their mortgages at lower
     rates. Currently, we believe that prepayment risk is fully reflected in ARM
     prices, and ARMs are now at attractive valuations.

Economic Outlook: Slow Growth Ahead With Inflation Under Control

     Though the signals are still somewhat mixed, the economy appears to have
regained some of its upward momentum and seems to be back on track for a period
of slow growth and relatively contained inflation, making an additional Fed rate
reduction less likely. However, the Fed may make one more precautionary cut by
year end, an event that has already been factored into the market.

TCU Money Market Portfolio

Objective

     The objective of the TCU Money Market Portfolio (MMP) is to maximize
current income, preserve capital and maintain liquidity through investments in
high-quality money market instruments authorized under the Federal Credit Union
Act.

Performance Review

     For the 12-month period ended August 31, 1995, the TCU Money Market
Portfolio had a total return of 5.56%, outperforming Donoghue's All-Taxable
Money Market Index by 31 basis points. As of August 31, 1995, the portfolio had
a seven-day current yield of 5.67% and an effective yield of 5.83%./1/

Portfolio Composition and Investment Strategies

     In order to meet the liquidity needs of credit unions in a volatile
interest rate environment, we significantly increased our investment in
repurchase agreements (repos) from 37% to 72.4% of the portfolio's assets during
the period under review. As of August 31, 1995, other portfolio positions
included 10.4% in bank notes, 5.2% in U.S. government agency securities, 4.2% in
bankers' acceptances, 3.9% in certificates of deposit (CDs), 2.6% in time
deposits and 1.3% in domestic Eurodollar CDs.


- ------------------------------
/1/  Please note that an investment in the portfolio is neither insured nor
     guaranteed by the U.S. government. There can be no assurance that the
     portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     During the first half of the portfolio's fiscal year (September 1994 to
February 1995), we shortened the portfolio's average maturity as interest rates
rose in order to maintain a yield that was competitive with alternative
overnight investments. As it became apparent that the Fed had completed its
tightening cycle, the portfolio's average maturity was lengthened.

   which reflects portfolio holdings as a percentage of net assets.

Looking Forward

     We will continue to emphasize high-quality investments and will structure
the portfolio in an effort to remain competitive with other short-term
alternatives. Going forward, we expect the portfolio to operate with a
relatively short average maturity of 10 to 20 days.

TCU Government Securities Portfolio

Objective

     The TCU Government Securities Portfolio (GSP) seeks high current income
consistent with low principal volatility. Operating since July 10, 1991, the
portfolio invests primarily in ARMs issued by the U.S. government, its agencies
or instrumentalities. The portfolio's target duration is six months to one year.
As of August 31, 1995, its actual duration was 0.70 years, almost the same as
the duration of the portfolio's benchmark, which was 0.75 years.

Performance Review

     For the 12 months ended August 31, 1995, the TCU GSP achieved a total
return of 5.82% (6.01% in dividend income and -0.19% in price depreciation),
compared with 6.25% for the nine-month Treasury average. (Please note that we
have substituted the nine-month Treasury return for the one-year constant
maturity Treasury (CMT) quoted in last year's annual report because we are
managing the portfolio's duration to under one year. The nine-month Treasury
return is calculated by averaging the six-month Treasury bill and the one-year
Treasury bill.)

     The portfolio's underperformance compared with its benchmark was primarily
caused by the widening spreads of ARMs relative to Treasuries. The portfolio's
large ARM position (86.4%) felt the impact of these widening spreads, making
ARMs less valuable than equal-duration Treasuries. The portfolio performed well,
however, compared with its peers. TCU GSP ranked 24th out of 72 adjustable rate
mortgage funds based on total return for the 12 months ended August 31, 1995,
according to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.

 .    The portfolio's net asset value (NAV) declined slightly during the period,
     from $9.78 on August 31, 1994 to $9.76 on August 31, 1995, as a result of
     the yield on the one-year Treasury rising 10 basis points during the
     period.

 .    During the period, the portfolio's distribution rate rose 112 basis points
     to 6.25% on August 31, 1995 as ARM coupons continued to reset at higher
     levels. The portfolio's 30-Day SEC Yield rose to 6.09% as of August 31,
     1995, up from 4.85% a year earlier.

Portfolio Composition and Investment Strategies

     The portfolio composition has remained much the same during this fiscal
year as it was last year, with primary emphasis on ARMs (86.4%) indexed to the
one-year CMT. In addition, the portfolio held a small position (3.1%) in Small
Business Administration (SBA) loans and 0.4% in sequential-pay collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). To help manage duration, we maintained an 8.1%
position in repurchase agreements (repos)/cash equivalents.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     We believe that when used knowledgeably and very sparingly, derivatives can
improve a portfolio's performance. To this end, as of August 31, 1995, the
portfolio included a 2% position in super floaters. Because their sensitivity to
interest rate movements and coupon resets is approximately four times greater
than regular floaters, super floaters contributed to the portfolio's positive
performance when rates increased during the summer of 1995.

   and include an offset to cash equivalents relating to unsettled trades. These

Looking Forward

     We see ARMs as being favorably priced in the current environment. In
general, they continue to provide attractive yields versus comparable-duration
Treasuries. Furthermore, we believe that prepayment fears have been fully priced
into the market, creating upside potential should prepayments increase less than
the market anticipates.

TCU Mortgage Securities Portfolio

Objective

     The TCU Mortgage Securities Portfolio (MSP), which commenced operations on
October 9, 1992, seeks high current income consistent with relatively low
principal volatility. The portfolio invests in adjustable rate and fixed rate
mortgage securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities and in mortgage securities rated AA or better by nationally
recognized rating agencies. The portfolio's target duration is the same as that
of the two-year Treasury note; its actual duration was 1.84 years as of August
31, 1995, exactly in line with its benchmark.

Performance Review

     The portfolio's total return was 8.20% for the 12-month period ended August
31, 1995 (6.92% from dividend income and 1.28% from price appreciation),
compared with 7.55% for the two-year Treasury note, the portfolio's benchmark.

     In addition to outperforming its Treasury benchmark, the portfolio also
performed well relative to its peers. For the 12 months ended August 31, 1995,
the portfolio ranked 22nd out of 129 short-term U.S. government funds based on
total return, according to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.

     The portfolio's term structure contributed to its outperformance relative
to its benchmark. The portfolio includes mortgage-backed securities with a range
of maturities that have both shorter and longer cash flows than the benchmark.
When the yield curve flattened, it was more advantageous to have cash flows
distributed along the curve rather than concentrated like the benchmark's
"bulleted" structure (with maturities at two years).

     The portfolio's NAV was $9.74 on August 31, 1995, up $0.12 since last year,
due primarily to the decline in interest rates.

Portfolio Composition and Investment Strategies

     Over the 12-month period ended August 31, 1995, we reduced the portfolio's
holdings in sequential-pay CMOs from 47.5% to 15.5% of the portfolio's assets,
and increased its investment in ARMs from 18.1% to 44.4%. As the price of
sequentials increased, we took advantage of tighter spreads versus equal-
duration Treasuries and sold a portion of our holdings in favor of ARMs with
wider spreads.

     To increase the portfolio's expected return, we added a 3.4% position in
mezzanine CMOs. Mezzanines are a "tranche," or class of CMO, that ranks in
between senior classes (lower credit risk, lower yielding) and subordinate
classes (higher credit risk, higher yielding).

     The portfolio held a 2.9% position in floaters, down slightly from its 3.2%
holding a year earlier, which added slight incremental return over Treasuries.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     We managed the portfolio's duration by weighting its positions in U.S.
Treasuries and repos/cash equivalents according to our need to shorten or
lengthen the portfolio's duration. Over the 12-month period, the portfolio's
holdings in U.S. Treasuries were increased from 1.8% to 19.6%, while repos/cash
equivalents decreased from 12.7% of the portfolio to 0.5%.

*  The percentages shown are of total portfolio investments that have settled
   and include an offset to cash equivalents relating to unsettled trades. These

Looking Forward

     We believe ARMs are attractively priced versus comparable-duration
Treasuries. With prepayment risk already factored into the market, we view ARMs
as having upside potential should prepayments increase more slowly than current
market expectations. In addition, with the lack of new issue supply in the CMO
market, this sector continues to offer value relative to Treasuries.

TCU Target Maturity Portfolios

Objectives

     The TCU Target Maturity Portfolios (TMPs) have dual objectives: to seek a
high level of current income and to return $10 per unit to investors at or about
three years after the portfolio's inception. However, there is no assurance that
these objectives will be achieved. The portfolios invest primarily in mortgage-
related securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities and in privately issued mortgage-related securities.

Target Maturity Portfolio (1996)

Performance Review

     The portfolio's total return for the 12 months ended August 31, 1995 was
6.51% (6.13% from dividend income and 0.38% from price appreciation), compared
with 6.40% for the 4.25% U.S. Treasury note due May 1996, the portfolio's
benchmark. The portfolio outperformed the benchmark by 11 basis points,
primarily due to the successful use of ARMs and sequential-pay CMO securities
that provided incremental returns over Treasuries. The portfolio's NAV rose
$0.04 during the period to $9.59 on August 31, 1995. As the portfolio gets
closer to its maturity, we have intentionally decreased its duration to 0.78
years from 1.66 years last August.

Portfolio Composition Highlights

     As of August 31, 1995, the portfolio was 47.6% invested in ARMs, up from
7.4% one year ago. During the period, we have decreased our holdings in
sequential-pay CMOs and planned amortization class (PAC) CMOs to 16.3% and 6.2%
of the portfolio, respectively. We believe that the ARM sector currently
represents better value than sequentials or PACs, which are trading at tighter
spreads.

     The portfolio also included a 4.2% position in floaters and 0.1% in inverse
floaters, held for their incremental yield and expected total return. We managed
the portfolio's duration by balancing the U.S. Treasury position with the
repo/cash equivalents holdings, weighting one versus the other at different
times in response to the changing interest rate environment. To this end, as of
August 31, 1995, the portfolio held a 23.7% position in U.S. Treasuries and a
1.9% position in repos/cash equivalents.

Target Maturity Portfolio (Feb 97)

Performance Review

     During the 12-month period ended August 31, 1995, the portfolio realized a
total return of 7.48% (6.64% from dividend income and 0.84% from price
appreciation), compared with 7.19% for the portfolio's benchmark, the 4.75% U.S.
Treasury note due in February 1997. The portfolio outperformed the benchmark by
29 basis points, primarily due to the successful use of ARMs and sequential-pay
CMO securities that provided incremental returns over Treasuries. The
portfolio's NAV increased $0.08 during the period, rising to $9.71 as of August
31, 1995.

Portfolio Composition Highlights

     We increased the portfolio's holdings in ARMs to 39.5% as of August 31,
1995, up from 3.5% a year earlier, and cut its sequential-pay CMOs to 38.1%,
down from 69.1% last year. As was the case with the other TCU TMPs, we expect
greater performance potential from attractively valued ARMs, which are trading
at wider spreads than sequentials. Sequential-pay CMOs still represent a major
position in the portfolio since they offer attractive yields relative to
Treasuries.

     Also included in the portfolio were 3.3% in floaters, down slightly from
3.7% a year earlier. We managed the portfolio's duration to the benchmark's
duration, primarily by holding U.S. Treasuries (18.9%).

Target Maturity Portfolio (May 97)

Performance Review

     The portfolio achieved a total return of 7.70% for the 12-month period
ended August 31, 1995 (6.85% from dividend income and 0.85% from price
appreciation), compared with 7.50% for the fund's benchmark, the 6.50% U.S.
Treasury note due in May 1997. The portfolio outperformed the benchmark by 20
basis points, primarily due to the successful use of ARMs and sequential-pay CMO
securities that provided incremental returns over Treasuries. The portfolio
closed its fiscal year with its NAV at $9.99, an increase of $0.08 from August
31, 1994.

Portfolio Composition Highlights

     As of August 31, 1995, 52.1% of the portfolio was invested in ARMs, up from
14.1% a year earlier. The portfolio's second largest grouping was 29.6% in
sequential-pay CMOs, a decrease from its 45.7% position in the previous year.

     During the period, we added a 2.7% position in inverse floaters, held for
their incremental yield and potential incremental return. The portfolio also
held 13.7% in U.S. Treasuries and 1.9% in cash equivalents, both of which were
used to manage the portfolio's duration to the benchmark's duration.

Investment Strategy and Outlook for TCU TMPs

     Despite recent weakening in the mortgage market and possible near-term
volatility, we view ARMs as offering attractive value over Treasuries of
comparable duration. In addition, we believe CMOs add incremental yield and
expected return over comparable-duration Treasuries.

     As the TCU TMPs approach maturity, we anticipate shifting the portfolios'
allocation to shorter duration mortgage securities.

Distribution Policy

     As required by tax law, all mutual funds, including the TCU portfolios,
must either distribute substantially all of the taxable income they generate
each year or will be subject to an excise tax on any undistributed income.

 .    For the TCU Money Market Portfolio, substantially all of the net investment
     income and net short-term capital gains will be declared as a dividend on a
     daily basis and paid monthly. If the portfolio were to realize any net 
     long-term capital gains, they would be distributed at year end.

 .    For the TCU Government Securities Portfolio and Mortgage Securities
     Portfolio, we pay monthly dividends based on the income each portfolio is
     expected to generate during the month. The amount of the dividend will
     reflect changes in interest rates (i.e., as interest rates increase,
     dividends will increase and as interest rates decline, dividends will be
     reduced). In addition, because these TCU portfolios invest in mortgage
     securities that are subject to prepayments, we cannot precisely predict the
     amount of principal and interest that a portfolio will receive. Therefore,
     at times, a portfolio may distribute amounts above or below current income
     levels. Any excess income, overdistributions or net capital gains generated
     will be paid out in a special distribution or adjusted at year end.

 .    For the TCU Target Maturity Portfolios, the monthly dividends are based on
     the prevailing interest rates at the time of each portfolio's inception.
     For these portfolios, the monthly dividends are held constant despite any
     changes in interest rates or changes in the rate of prepayments. As noted
     above, any excess income, overdistribution or net capital gains generated
     are paid out or adjusted at year end. The amount of these year end
     adjustments may be more significant than in portfolios in which the
     dividend is reset each month. In December 1994, the TCU TMP (1996) and TMP
     (Feb 97) paid special dividends of $0.0893 per share and $0.0987 per share,
     respectively.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Unitholders and Trustees of
 Trust for Credit Unions:

     We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Trust for Credit Unions (a Massachusetts business trust comprising the Money
Market Portfolio, the Government Securities Portfolio, the Mortgage Securities
Portfolio, the Target Maturity Portfolio (1996), the Target Maturity Portfolio
(Feb 97) and the Target Maturity Portfolio (May 97)), including the statements
of investments as of August 31, 1995, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial
highlights based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
August 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the respective portfolios constituting the Trust for Credit
Unions as of August 31, 1995, the results of their operations for the year then
ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   Organization

     Trust for Credit Unions (the "Fund") is a Massachusetts business trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company consisting of six diversified portfolios: the
Money Market Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio, Mortgage Securities
Portfolio, Target Maturity Portfolio (1996), Target Maturity Portfolio (Feb 97)
and Target Maturity Portfolio (May 97). Units of the Fund are offered for sale
solely to state and federally chartered credit unions. Unless extended by
appropriate action of the Fund's Board of Trustees and by the unitholders,
Target Maturity Portfolio (1996), Target Maturity Portfolio (Feb 97) and Target
Maturity Portfolio (May 97) (the "Target Maturity Portfolios"), will be
liquidated on or about June 30, 1996, February 18, 1997 and May 15, 1997,
respectively, (the "Termination Date"), at which time, all units of these
Portfolios that are outstanding as of the close of business on the respective
Termination Date will be redeemed by the Fund at their net asset value.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund which are in conformity with those generally accepted in the investment
company industry:

   A.  Investment Valuation
   ------------------------ 
     For the Government Securities Portfolio, Mortgage Securities Portfolio, and
Target Maturity Portfolios, investments in mortgage backed and asset backed
obligations are valued based on yield equivalents, a pricing matrix or other
sources, under valuation procedures established by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
Other portfolio securities for which accurate market quotations are readily
available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service
or provided by dealers in such securities. Portfolio securities for which
accurate market quotations are not readily available are valued in accordance
with the Fund's valuation procedures. Securities of the Money Market Portfolio
and short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less for the
Government Securities Portfolio, Mortgage Securities Portfolio and Target
Maturity Portfolios are valued at amortized cost which approximates market
value. Under this method, all investments purchased at a discount or premium are
valued by amortizing the difference between the original purchase price and
maturity value of the issue over the period to maturity.

   B.  Security Transactions and Investment Income
   -----------------------------------------------
     Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated on the identified cost
basis. For the Money Market Portfolio, interest income is determined on the
basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount earned. The Mortgage
Securities Portfolio and the Target Maturity Portfolios amortize market
discounts and premiums on certain mortgage backed securities and treasury
obligations.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

                                August 31, 1995


     For the Government Securities Portfolio, Mortgage Securities Portfolio and
Target Maturity Portfolios, premiums on interest-only securities and on
collateralized mortgage obligations with nominal principal amounts are
amortized, on an effective yield basis, over the expected life of the respective
securities, taking into account actual principal prepayment experience and
estimates of future principal prepayments. Certain mortgage security paydown
gains and losses are taxable as ordinary income. Such paydown gains and losses
increase or decrease taxable ordinary income available for distribution and are
classified in interest income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.
Original issue discounts on debt securities are amortized to interest income
over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis of
that security.

   C.  Federal Taxes
   -----------------

     It is each portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute each year substantially all investment company taxable income to its
unitholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. The
characterization of distributions to unitholders for financial reporting
purposes is determined in accordance with income tax rules and is based upon the
best available information. Therefore, in the accompanying financial statements,
the source of a portfolio's distributions may be shown as (i) from net
investment income, (ii) in excess of net investment income, (iii) from net
realized gains on investment transactions, (iv) in excess of net realized gains
on investment transactions, and/or (v) from capital. During the year ended
August 31, 1995, the Mortgage Securities Portfolio distributed approximately
$406,506 from paid-in capital resulting from distributions in excess of
accumulated tax earnings and profits.

     As of each portfolio's most recent tax year-end, the following portfolios
had approximately the following amounts of capital loss carry forward for U.S.
Federal tax purposes:

or regulations.

   D.  Deferred Organization Expenses
   ----------------------------------
     Organization-related costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of five years for the Government Securities and Mortgage
Securities Portfolios, and over three years for the Target Maturity Portfolios.

   E.  Expenses
   ------------ 
     Expenses incurred by the Fund that do not specifically relate to an
individual portfolio of the Fund are allocated to the portfolios based on each
portfolio's relative average net assets for the period.

3.   Agreements

     Goldman Sachs Asset Management ("GSAM"), a separate operating division of
Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs"), acts as investment adviser pursuant to
an Advisory Agreement with the Fund. Under the Advisory Agreement, Goldman
Sachs, subject to general supervision of the Fund's Trustees, manages the Fund's
portfolios and provides certain administrative services for the Fund. As
compensation for services rendered under the Advisory Agreement and the
assumption of the expenses related thereto, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a fee,
computed daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates as a
percentage of each respective portfolio's average daily net assets:

Target Maturity (1996), Target Maturity (Feb 97) and Target Maturity (May 97)
portfolios have reclassified $415,145, $13,087, $3,490 and $1,412, respectively,
which represents a reduction in paid-in capital and an increase in accumulated
undistributed net investment income. These reclassifications have no impact on
the net asset value of the respective portfolio and are designed to present such
portfolio's capital accounts on a tax basis.

9.   Other Matters

     During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, Goldman Sachs contributed
additional paid-in capital to the Target Maturity Portfolio (1996) as reflected
in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
