                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Organization

  Trust for Credit Unions is a Massachusetts business trust registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management
investment company consisting of three diversified portfolios: the Money Market
Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio and Mortgage Securities Portfolio
collectively, "the Portfolios" or individually a "Portfolio." Units of the
Portfolio are offered for sale solely to state and federally chartered credit
unions.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolios. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

 A. Investment Valuation
 -----------------------

  For the Government Securities and Mortgage Securities Portfolios, investments
in mortgage backed, asset backed and U.S. Treasury obligations 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 based on yield equivalents, pricing matrices or
other sources, under valuation procedures established by the Portfolios' Board
of Trustees. Securities of the Money Market Portfolio and short-term debt
obligations maturing in sixty days or less for the Government Securities
Portfolio and Mortgage Securities Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.

 B. Security Transactions and Investment Income
 ----------------------------------------------

  Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and
losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using 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 amortizes market discounts and premiums on
certain mortgage backed securities and treasury obligations.

  For the Government Securities Portfolio and Mortgage Securities Portfolio,
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. 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 as
interest income in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Original issue
discounts ("OID") 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. OID amortization on mortgage backed REMIC securities is initially
recorded based on estimates of principal paydowns using the most recent OID
factors available from the issuer. Recorded amortization amounts are adjusted
when actual OID factors are received. Market discounts and market premiums on
debt securities, other than mortgage backed securities, are amortized to
interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding adjustment
in the cost basis of that security.

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

  The Government Securities and Mortgage Securities 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. 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.

 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 and capital gains
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. Therefore, the
source of a Portfolio's distributions may be shown in the accompanying
financial statements as either from or in excess of net investment income or
net realized gains on investment transactions, or from paid-in capital
depending on the type of book/tax differences that may exist.

  As of each Portfolio's most recent tax year-end, the following Portfolios had
approximately the following amounts of capital loss carryforward for U.S.
federal tax purposes:

</TABLE>

  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.

5. Line of Credit Facility

  The Portfolios participate in a $250,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured revolving
line of credit facility. Additionally, the Government Securities and Mortgage
Securities Portfolios participate in a $250,000,000 committed, unsecured
revolving line of credit facility. Effective November 30, 1999, the Money
Market Portfolio was added to the $250,000,000 committed facility. Under the
most restrictive arrangement, the Portfolios must own securities having a
market value in excess of 400% of the total bank borrowings. These facilities
are to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on
borrowings is based on the Federal Funds rate. The committed facility also
requires a fee to be paid by the Portfolios based on the amount of the
commitment, which has not been utilized. During the six months ended February
29, 2000, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under these credit
facilities.

8. Change in Independent Accountants

  On October 26, 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios, upon the
recommendation of the Board's audit committee, determined not to retain Arthur
Andersen LLP and approved a change of the Portfolios' independent accountants
to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1999 and
August 31, 1998, Arthur Andersen LLP's audit reports contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were their reports qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, there were
no disagreements between the Portfolios and Arthur Andersen LLP on accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or audit scope or
procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP
would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports.
