                         THE RESERVE FUND (THE "FUND")
         PRIMARY, U.S. GOVERNMENT AND U.S. TREASURY FUNDS (THE "FUNDS")

                 RESERVE NEW YORK TAX-EXEMPT TRUST ("NY TRUST")
   RESERVE TAX-EXEMPT TRUST (CALIFORNIA II, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, INTERSTATE,
       MASSACHUSETTS, NEW JERSEY, OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA FUNDS) ("TRUST")
       (THE NY TRUST AND TRUST ARE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "TRUSTS")

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      The Funds/Trusts are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
      as non-diversified, open-end Management investment companies. The policies
      summarized below are consistently followed in the preparation of its
      financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles.

      A. The Fund and Trusts' authorized shares of beneficial interest are
      unlimited. The Funds' shares are divided into four series: Primary, U.S.
      Government, U.S. Treasury and the Strategist Money-Market. The Trusts'
      shares are divided into nine series: California II, Connecticut, Florida,
      Interstate, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania
      Tax-Exempt Funds (collectively the "funds"). These financial statements
      and notes apply to Primary, U.S. Government, U.S. Treasury Funds of the
      Reserve Fund; Connecticut, Florida, Interstate, Massachusetts, Michigan,
      New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania of Reserve Tax-Exempt Trust and to the
      New York Fund of Reserve New York Tax-Exempt Trust. These financial
      statements and notes apply to all funds mentioned above except Strategist
      Money-Market Fund and California II Tax-Exempt Funds.

      B. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
      value. The amortized cost method values a security at cost plus accrued
      interest at the time of purchase, and thereafter assumes a constant
      amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, irrespective of
      intervening changes in interest rates or market values. The maturity of
      floating or variable rate instruments in which the Fund may invest will be
      deemed to be, for floating rate instruments. (1) the notice period
      required before the Fund is entitled to receive of payment of principal
      amount of the instruments; and for variable rate instruments the longer of
      (1) above or (2) the period remaining until the instrument's next rate
      adjustment, for purpose of Rule 2a-7 and for computing the portfolio's
      average weighted life to maturity.

      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. Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis; interest
      income is accrued daily and security premium or discount is amortized or
      accreted daily. Net investment income is distributed to shareholders daily
      and automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares.

      E. Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
      and securities dealers who are deemed creditworthy pursuant to guidelines
      established by the Funds' Board of Trustees. The Investment Adviser will
      follow procedures intended to provide that all repurchase agreements are
      at least 100% collateralized as to principal and interest. The Funds'
      custodian holds the securities subject to repurchase agreements.

(2)   MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:

      Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the "Agreement") between
      Reserve Management Company, Inc. ("RMCI") and the Funds, RMCI serves as
      the Fund's Investment Adviser subject to the policies adopted by the Board
      of Trustees. Under the Agreement, RMCI is responsible for the supervision
      of the day-to-day operations, manages the Fund's investments, effects
      purchases and sales thereof, and absorbs certain promotional expenses. For
      its services as Investment Adviser prior to June 26, 1999, except for U.S.
      Treasury Fund and Michigan, RMCI received a management fee calculated 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% in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets of both
      Primary Fund and U.S. Government Fund. Effective June 26, 1999, the
      Funds/Trusts entered into a new Investment Management Agreement with RMCI,
      which is substantially similar to the Investment Management Agreement
      previously in effect with regard to each Fund, except for a new
      comprehensive management fee. The U.S. Treasury Fund and Michigan, since
      inception, has been subject to a comprehensive management fee. The
      Agreement provides that RMCI will furnish continuous investment advisory
      and management services to the Funds.

                         THE RESERVE FUND (THE "FUND")
         PRIMARY, U.S. GOVERNMENT AND U.S. TREASURY FUNDS (THE "FUNDS")

                 RESERVE NEW YORK TAX-EXEMPT TRUST ("NY TRUST")
   RESERVE TAX-EXEMPT TRUST (CALIFORNIA II, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, INTERSTATE,
       MASSACHUSETTS, NEW JERSEY, OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA FUNDS) ("TRUST")
       (THE NY TRUST AND TRUST ARE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "TRUSTS")

             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

      For its services, RMCI receives a fee of 0.80% per year of the average
      daily net assets of each Fund. RMCI pays all employee and customary
      operating expenses of the Fund. Excluded from the definition of customary
      operating expenses are interest, taxes, brokerage fees, extraordinary
      legal and accounting fees and expenses, and the fees of the disinterested
      Trustees, for which each Fund pays its direct or allocated share.

      During the six months ending November 30, 1999, RMCI voluntarily waived
      $179,459, its Management fee for the U.S. Treasury Fund.

      DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE:

      Pursuant to a Plan of Distribution, each Fund may make assistance
      payments, at a rate of .20% per annum of the average net asset value, to
      firms for distribution assistance and administrative services provided to
      Fund shareholders. The Plan requires RMCI to pay an equivalent amount from
      its own resources. RMCI also has voluntarily agreed to reduce the payments
      made by U.S. Treasury Fund to an annual rate of .17%. During the six
      months ended November 30, 1999, RMCI voluntarily reimbursed the Fund a
      total of $47,638 pursuant to the undertaking.

(3)   MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES:

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
      the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income
      and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
      from these estimates.

(4)   INVESTMENT CONCENTRATION:

      The Trusts invest substantially all of their assets in portfolios for
      tax-exempt debt obligations primarily consisting of issuers in each of the
      respective states. The issuers' ability to meet their obligations may be
      affected by economic, regional or political developments. In order to
      reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, the Trusts invest
      substantially in obligations backed by letters of credit, bond insurance
      of financial institutions, or financial guaranty assurance agencies. At
      November 30, 1999, the percentage invested in such obligations amounted
      to:

            Interstate           82%           Massachusetts          69%
            New York             97%           Michigan              100%
            California II        90%           New Jersey             78%
            Connecticut          79%           Ohio                  100%
            Florida              97%           Pennsylvania          100%
