                         THE RESERVE FUND (THE "FUND")
         PRIMARY, U.S. GOVERNMENT AND U.S. TREASURY FUNDS (THE "FUNDS")
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(UNAUDITED)
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
  ------------------------------
 
   The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a
   non-diversified, open end investment company. The policies summarized below
   are consistently followed in the preparation of its financial statements in
   conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
   A. The Fund's authorized shares of beneficial interest are unlimited. The
   Fund's shares are divided into three classes, Primary Fund, U.S. Government
   Fund and the U.S. Treasury Fund.
 
   B. Securities are stated at value which represents amortized cost plus
   interest accrued to date. Under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 2a-7,
   the Fund uses amortized cost to value the Portfolios, by which investments
   are valued at cost and the difference between the cost of each instrument and
   its value at maturity is accrued into income on a straight line basis over
   the days to maturity irrespective of intervening changes in interest rates or
   market value of investments. The maturity of floating or variable rate
   instruments in which the Fund may invest will be deemed to be, for floating
   rate instruments (1) following, and for variable rate instruments the longer
   of (1) or (2) following: (1) the notice period required before the Portfolio
   is entitled to receive payment of the principal amount of the instrument; (2)
   the period remaining until the instrument's next rate adjustment, for
   purposes of Rule 2a-7 and for computing the Portfolio average life.
 
   C. It is the Fund's policy to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal
   Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
   Accordingly, no Federal income tax provision is required.
 
   D. Investments are recorded as of the date of their purchase and sale.
   Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, premium
   amortized and discount accreted.
 
   E. The Fund's custodians hold the securities owned subject to repurchase
   agreements. The Fund's investment adviser determines that the resale amount
   of the repurchase agreement is fully collateralized.
 
   F. Net investment income on investments is distributed to shareholders daily
   and automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares.
 
   G. Each Fund is charged only for its direct or allocated (in proportion to
   net assets or number of shareholder accounts) share of expenses.
 
2. MANAGEMENT FEE, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING COST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   Under the Management Agreement, Reserve Management Company, Inc. ("RMCI"),
   manages the Fund's investments, effects purchases and sales thereof, and
   absorbs certain promotional expenses. RMCI receives management fees from the
   Primary and U.S. Government Funds at an annual rate of .50% of the first $500
   million, .475% of the next $500 million, .45% of the next $500 million, .425%
   of the next $500 million and .40% of any excess over $2 billion of the
   average daily net assets of Primary and U.S. Government Funds, subject to
   reimbursement of Fund expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions,
   interest charges, taxes and extraordinary legal fees and expenses) exceeding
   1% of average daily closing net assets. For the U.S. Treasury Fund, RMCI
   receives a comprehensive fee at an annual rate of .80% of the average daily
   net assets. At November 30, 1995, the advisor waived a portion of its
   comprehensive fee. Also, under the current Service Agreement, RMCI was
   reimbursed $2,875,571 (Primary Fund) and $1,199,414 (U.S. Government Fund)
   during the six months ended November 30, 1995 for expenditures made on behalf
   of the Fund's respective Portfolios for personnel, office space and equipment
   and shareholder accounting and administrative services, to carry out the
   Fund's business. At November 30, 1995, the Primary, U.S. Government and U.S.
   Treasury Funds had accrued expenses of $47,927, $17,499, and $37,748
   respectively, due to RMCI.
 
3. DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE:
  -----------------------
 
   Pursuant to a Plan of Distribution, subject to the Fund's expense
   limitations, the Fund will make payments of up to .20% per annum of the
   average net asset value of shareholder accounts as to which the payee has
   rendered assistance in distributing shares of the portfolios. The Plan
   requires RMCI to pay an equivalent amount from its own resources.
 
                            ------------------------
 
                            FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
 
   The dividends distributed by the Primary, U.S. Government and U.S. Treasury
   Funds in each of the periods are treated for Federal tax purposes as ordinary
   income.
