  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.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
  accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
  assumptions that affect the reported amounts.

    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.

  2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- (continued)

    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.

     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.  Mortgage Dollar Rolls
    -------------------------

     The Government Securities, Mortgage Securities and Target Maturity
  Portfolios may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which the portfolios sell
  securities in the current month for delivery and simultaneously contract with
  the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity)
  but not identical securities on a specified future date. The portfolios will
  hold and maintain in a segregated account, until the settlement date, cash or
  liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase
  price. For financial reporting and tax reporting purposes, the portfolios
  treat mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions; one involving the
  purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale.

  2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- (continued)

    D.  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.

     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:

  * Represents earlier of Termination Date of portfolio or actual expiration
  date of capital loss carry forward.

     These amounts are available to be carried forward to offset future capital
  gains of the corresponding portfolios to the extent permitted by applicable
  laws or regulations.

    E.  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.

    F.  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

  serves as the Fund's administrator pursuant to an Administration Agreement.
  Callahan Financial Services, Inc. serves as a general partner to CUFSLP, and

  5. Repurchase Agreements

     During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying
  securities, including accrued interest, is required to equal or exceed the
  value of the repurchase agreement.  The underlying securities for all
  repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of
  State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's custodian, or at sub-
  custodians.  GSAM monitors the market value of the underlying securities by
  pricing them daily.

  7. Redemption Units

     Unitholders of the Target Maturity Portfolios who redeem their units prior
  to the respective Termination Date will be charged a redemption fee equal to
  .50% of the net asset value of the redeemed units at the time of the
  redemption. The redemption fee is not a sales charge, but is kept by the
  respective portfolio for the benefit of continuing unitholders.

  8. Certain Reclassifications

     In accordance with Statement of Position 93-2, the Mortgage Securities
  Portfolio has reclassified $406,066 which represents an increase to paid-in
  capital and a decrease to accumulated undistributed net investment income.
  This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the portfolio
  and is designed to present the portfolio's capital accounts on a tax basis.
