                             DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

    Lexington  Natural  Resources  Trust is an  open-end  management  investment
company organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts.  The Fund
is intended  to be the funding  vehicle for  variable  annuity  contracts  to be
offered  by  the  separate   accounts  of  certain  life   insurance   companies
("participating  insurance companies").  The Fund currently does not foresee any
disadvantages to the holders of variable annuity contracts arising from the fact
that the interests of the holders of such  contracts  may differ.  Nevertheless,
the Fund's  Trustees  intend to monitor events in order to identify any material
irreconcilable  conflicts which may possibly arise and to determine what action,
if any,  should be taken in response  thereto.  If a conflict were to occur,  an
insurance company separate account might be required to withdraw its investments
in the Fund and the Fund might be forced to sell  securities at  disadvantageous
prices.   The  variable   annuity   contracts  are  described  in  the  separate
prospectuses issued by the Participating  Insurance Companies.  The Fund assumes
no responsibility for such prospectuses.

    Individual  variable annuity contract holders are not  "shareholders" of the
Fund. The Participating  Insurance Companies and their separate accounts are the
shareholders  or  investors,  although such  companies  may pass through  voting
rights to their variable  annuity  contract.  Shares of the Fund are not offered
directly to the general public.

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

    The  Fund's  investment  objective  is to seek  long-term  growth of capital
through  investment  primarily in common stocks of companies that own or develop
natural resources and other basic  commodities,  or supply goods and services to
such companies.  Current income will not be a factor.  Total return will consist
primarily of capital appreciation.

    Management  attempts  to achieve  the  investment  objective  of the Fund by
seeking  to  identify  securities  of  companies  that,  in  its  opinion,   are
undervalued relative to the value of natural resource holdings of such companies
in light of current and anticipated  economic or financial  conditions.  Natural
resource  assets are materials  derived from natural sources which have economic
value.  The Fund will consider a company to have  substantial  natural  resource
assets when, in management's  opinion,  the company's holdings of the assets are
of such magnitude,  when compared to the  capitalization,  revenues or operating
profits of the company,  that  changes in the economic  value of the assets will
affect the market price of the equity securities of such company.  Generally,  a
company  has  substantial  natural  resource  assets  when at  least  50% of the
non-current assets,  capitalization,  gross revenues or operating profits of the
company in the most  recent or current  fiscal  year are  involved  in or result
from, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries,  exploring, mining, refining,
processing,  fabricating, dealing in or owning natural resource assets. Examples
of natural resource assets include:  companies that specialize in energy sources
(e.g., coal,  geothermal power, natural gas and oil),  environmental  technology
(e.g.,  pollution  control and waste recycling),  forest products,  agricultural
products,  chemical  products,  ferrous  and  non-ferrous  metals  (e.g.,  iron,
aluminum and copper),  strategic metals (e.g.,  uranium and titanium),  precious
metals (e.g., gold, silver and platinum), and other basic commodities.  The Fund
presently  does not  intend to invest  directly  in natural  resource  assets or
related  contracts.  The  Fund  may  invest  up to 25% of its  total  assets  in
securities principally traded in markets outside the United States.

    Management  of the Fund  believes  that,  based upon past  performance,  the
securities  of  specific  companies  that hold  different  types of  substantial
natural resource assets may move relatively  independently of one another during
different stages of inflationary  cycles due to different degrees of demand for,
or  market  values  of,  their  respective   natural  resource  holdings  during
particular  portions  of such  inflationary  cycles.  The  Fund's  fully-managed
investment  approach  enables it to switch its emphasis  among various  industry
groups depending upon management's outlook with respect to prevailing trends and
developments. The investment objective and policies of the Fund described in the
first two  paragraphs of this section are  fundamental  policies of the Fund and
may not be changed  without  the  approval  of the  holders of a majority of the
Fund's outstanding  voting securities,  as defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.

    Except for defensive or liquidity purposes, at least 65% of the total assets
of the Fund will be invested in  companies  with  substantial  natural  resource
assets.  The remaining assets to the extent not invested in the common stocks of
natural  resource  


                                       3
<PAGE>

companies may be invested in companies other than the natural resource companies
and in debt securities of natural resource companies as well as other companies.
At any time management  deems it advisable for temporary  defensive or liquidity
purposes,  the  Fund may hold all its  assets  in cash or cash  equivalents  and
invest in, or hold unlimited  amounts of, debt  obligations of the United States
government or its political subdivisions, and money market instruments including
repurchase  agreements with maturities of seven days or less and Certificates of
Deposit.

    The Fund's investment portfolio may include repurchase agreements with banks
and dealers in U.S. Government  securities.  A repurchase agreement involves the
purchase by the Fund of an  investment  contract from a bank or a dealer in U.S.
Government  securities  which contract is secured by debt securities whose value
is equal to or greater than the value of the repurchase  agreement including the
agreed  upon  interest.   The  agreement  provides  that  the  institution  will
repurchase the underlying securities at an agreed upon time and price. The total
amount  received  on  repurchase  would  exceed  the  price  paid  by the  Fund,
reflecting  an agreed upon rate of interest  for the period from the date of the
repurchase  agreement to the  settlement  date,  and would not be related to the
interest rate on the underlying  securities.  The  difference  between the total
amount to be received upon the  repurchase of the  securities and the price paid
by the  Fund  upon  their  acquisition  is  accrued  daily as  interest.  If the
institution  defaults  on  the  repurchase  agreement,   the  Fund  will  retain
possession of the underlying securities.  In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings
are commenced  with respect to the seller,  realization on the collateral by the
Fund may be delayed or limited and the Fund may incur additional  costs. In such
case the Fund will be subject  to risks  associated  with  changes in the market
value of collateral securities.  The Fund intends to limit repurchase agreements
to  transactions  with  institutions  believed  by the  Investment  Adviser  and
Sub-Adviser to present minimal credit risk.

    Although the Fund's Board of Trustees present policy  prohibits  investments
in  speculative  securities  trading at extremely  low prices and in  relatively
illiquid  markets,  investments  in such  securities can be made when and if the
Board  determines  such  investments to be in the best interests of the Fund and
its shareholders. The policies set forth in this paragraph are subject to change
by the Board of  Trustees  of the Fund,  in its sole  discretion  (see  "Special
Considerations and Risks" and "Dividend, Distribution and Reinvestment Policy").

    The Fund anticipates that its annual portfolio  turnover rate will generally
not exceed 150%. A 100% turnover rate would occur if all of the Fund's portfolio
investments  were sold and either  repurchased or replaced within one year. High
turnover may result in increased  transaction  costs to the Fund;  however,  the
rate of turnover will not be a limiting  factor when the Fund deems it desirable
to purchase or sell  portfolio  investments.  For the fiscal year ended December
31, 1994, the portfolio turnover rate was 87.40%.

    Generally,   the  primary  consideration  in  placing  portfolio  securities
transactions with  broker-dealers  for execution is to obtain,  and maintain the
availability  of,  execution  at the best net  price  available  and in the most
effective manner possible. The Fund's brokerage allocation policy may permit the
Fund  to  pay  a  broker-dealer  which  furnishes  research  services  a  higher
commission than that which might be charged by another  broker-dealer which does
not  furnish  research  services,   provided  that  such  commission  is  deemed
reasonable  in  relation  to  the  value  of  the  services   provided  by  such
broker-dealer. For a complete discussion of portfolio transactions and brokerage
allocation,  see  "Portfolio  Transactions  and  Brokerage  Commissions"  in the
Statement of Additional Information.
                       
                         SPECIAL CONSIDERATION AND RISKS

    Because the Fund will invest a  substantial  portion of its portfolio in the
securities  of  companies  with  natural  resources  assets,  the Fund should be
considered  as a vehicle for  diversification  and not as a balanced  investment
program.  In addition,  investments in foreign  securities may involve risks and
considerations not present in domestic investments.

    Investments in Foreign Securities

    A portion of the Fund's  security  investments  will be in the securities of
foreign  issuers.  Investments  in foreign  securities may involve risks greater
than those  attendant to  investments  in securities of U.S.  issuers.  Publicly
available  information  concerning  issuers  located outside the U.S. may not be
comparable  in scope  or  depth of  analysis  to that  generally  available  for
publicly held U.S. corporations. Accounting and auditing practices and financial
reporting  requirements vary significantly from country to country and generally
are not  comparable  to those  applicable  to publicly  held U.S.  corporations.
Government  supervision  and  regulation  of 


                                       4
<PAGE>






foreign securities exchanges and markets, securities listed on such exchanges or
traded  in  such  markets  and  brokers,  dealers,  banks  and  other  financial
institutions  who trade the securities in which the Fund may invest is generally
less extensive  than in the U.S.,  and trading  customs and practices may differ
substantially  from those  prevailing  in the U.S. The Fund may trade in certain
foreign  securities  markets  which  are less  developed  than  comparable  U.S.
markets,  which may result in reduced  liquidity  of  securities  traded in such
markets.  Investments  in  foreign  securities  are  also  subject  to  currency
fluctuations.  For example,  when the Fund's  assets are  invested  primarily in
securities  denominated in foreign  currencies,  an investor can expect that the
Fund's net asset  value per share will tend to  increase  when the value of U.S.
dollars is decreasing as against such currencies.  Conversely, a tendency toward
decline in net asset  value can be  expected  when the value of U.S.  dollars is
increasing as against such currencies. Changes in net asset value per share as a
result  of  foreign  exchange  rate  fluctuations  will  be  determined  by  the
composition  of the  Fund's  portfolio  at any given  time.  Further,  it is not
possible  to  avoid  altogether  the  risks  of  expropriation,   burdensome  or
confiscatory  taxation,   moratoriums,   exchange  and  investment  controls  or
political  or  diplomatic   events  which  might  adversely  affect  the  Fund's
investments  in foreign  securities or restrict the Fund's ability to dispose of
such investments.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    The Fund has adopted a number of  investment  restrictions  which may not be
changed  without  shareholder  approval.  These are set forth under  "Investment
Restrictions"  in  the  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  Some  of  these
restrictions provide that the Fund shall not:



    *Invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer
     (except  securities  issued or  guaranteed by the U.S.  Government,  or its
     agencies and instrumentalities);

    *Purchase any securities if such purchase would cause the Fund to own at the
     time of purchase more than 10% of the outstanding  voting securities of one
     issuer;

    *Borrow  money;  except  that the Fund may borrow from a bank as a temporary
     measure for  extraordinary  purposes or to meet  redemptions in amounts not
     exceeding  10% (taken at market  value) of its total  assets and pledge its
     assets to secure  such  borrowings.  The Fund may not  purchase  additional
     securities when money borrowed exceeds 5% of the Fund's total assets;

    *Purchase any security restricted as to disposition under Federal securities
     laws or  securities  that  are  not  readily  marketable  or  purchase  any
     securities  if such a purchase  would  cause the Fund to own at the time of
     such purchase, illiquid-securities, including repurchase agreements with an
     agreed  upon  repurchase  date in  excess  of seven  days  from the date of
     acquisition by the Fund,  having aggregate market value in excess of 10% of
     the value of the Fund's total assets.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

    The  business  affairs of the Fund are managed  under the  direction  of its
Board of  Trustees.  There  are  currently  seven  Trustees  (of  whom  four are
non-affiliated  persons)  who meet  four  times  each  year.  The  Statement  of
Additional  Information contains additional  information  regarding the Trustees
and officers of the Fund.

         INVESTMENT ADVISER, SUB-ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR

    Lexington  Management  Corporation,  P.O.  Box  1515/Park 80 West Plaza Two,
Saddle Brook,  New Jersey 07663, is the investment  adviser to the Fund, and, as
such,  advises  and  makes  recommendations  to the  Fund  with  respect  to its
investments  and investment  policies.  Lexington Funds  Distributor,  Inc. is a
registered broker-dealer and is the distributor of shares of the Fund.

    The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory  management  contract
with Market Systems Research Advisors,  Inc., 80 Maiden Lane, New York, New York
10038, a registered investment adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser will provide
the Fund with certain  investment  management and administrative  services.  The
Sub-Adviser serves as investment adviser to private and institutional accounts.


                                       5
<PAGE>



    The Investment Adviser is paid an investment advisory fee at the annual rate
of 1.00% of the net  assets of the Fund  which is higher  than that paid by most
other  investment  companies.  This fee is  computed  on the basis of the Fund's
average  daily net assets and is payable on the last business day of each month.
For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Investment  Adviser received  $107,760
in investment advisory fees from the Fund and paid the Sub-Adviser $53,880.

    From time to time,  the  Investment  Adviser may pay  amounts  from its past
profits to  participating  insurance  companies or insurance  companies or other
financial institutions that provide administrative services for the Fund or that
provide to contract holders other services  relating to the Fund. These services
may include, among other things, sub-accounting services, answering inquiries of
contract holders regarding the Fund, transmitting,  on behalf of the Fund, proxy
statements,  annual  reports,  updated  prospectus and other  communications  to
contract holders regarding the Fund, and such other related services as the Fund
or a contract holder may request.  The Investment Adviser will not pay more than
0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund  represented  by shares of the
Fund  held in the  separate  account  of any  participating  insurance  company.
Payment of such  amounts by the  Investment  Adviser  will not increase the fees
paid by the Fund or its shareholders.

    The  Investment  Adviser  serves as investment  adviser to other  investment
companies and private  institutional  investment accounts.  Included among these
clients are persons and organizations  which own significant  amounts of capital
stock of the  Investment  Adviser's  parent.  The  clients  pay fees  which  the
Investment  Adviser considers  comparable to the fee levels for similarly served
clients.

    The Investment  Adviser also acts as  administrator to the Fund and performs
certain  administrative  and internal  accounting  services,  including  but not
limited  to,  maintaining  general  ledger  accounts,   regulatory   compliance,

                           HOW TO PURCHASE AND REDEEM SHARES

    With the exception of shares held in connection  with initial capital of the
Fund,  shares  of the  Fund are  currently  available  for  purchase  solely  by
participating  insurance  companies for the purpose of funding  variable annuity
contracts. Shares of the Fund are purchased and redeemed at net asset value next
calculated  after a purchase or redemption order is received by the Fund in good
order. There are no minimum investment requirements. Payment for shares redeemed
will be made as soon as  possible,  but in any event within seven days after the
order for redemption is received by the Fund. However,  payment may be postponed
under unusual circumstances,  such as when normal trading is not taking place on
the New York Stock Exchange.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

    The net asset value of the shares of the Fund is computed as of the close of
trading on each day the New York Stock  Exchange is open,  by dividing the value
of the  Fund's  securities  plus any cash and other  assets  (including  accrued
dividends and interest) less all liabilities (including accrued expenses) by the
number of shares  outstanding,  the result being  adjusted to the nearest  whole
cent. A security  listed or traded on a recognized  stock  exchange is valued at
its last sale price  prior to the time when  assets are valued on the  principal
exchange on which the  security is traded.  If no sale is reported at that time,
the mean  between  the  current  bid and  asked  price  will be used.  All other
securities  for  which  the  over-the-counter   market  quotations  are  readily
available  are valued at the mean  between the last current bid and asked price.
Short-term securities having maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost when
it is determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees  that  amortized  cost reflects
the fair value of such  securities.  Securities for which market  quotations are
not readily available and other assets are valued at fair value as determined by
the management and approved in good faith by the Board of Trustees.

    Generally,  trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed
each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The
values of foreign securities used in computing the net asset value of the shares
of the Fund are determined as of the earlier of such market close or the closing
time of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange").  Foreign currency exchange
rates  are  also  generally  determined  prior  to the  close  of the  Exchange.
Occasionally,  events  affecting the value of such  securities and such exchange
rates may occur between the times at which they are  determined and the close of
the Exchange, which will not be reflected in the computation of net asset value.
If during such periods,  events occur which materially  affect the value of such
securities,  the  securities  will be  valued  at  their  fair  market  value as
determined by the investment adviser and approved in good faith by the Trustees.

    In order to  determine  net asset value per share,  the  aggregate  value of
portfolio  securities is added to the value of the Fund's other assets,  such as
cash and receivables;  the total of the assets thus obtained,  less liabilities,
is then divided by the number of shares outstanding.

                             PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

    Advertisements and communications  with shareholders and others may cite the
Fund's performance  calculated on a total return basis. All such  advertisements
and  communications  will portray the value of an assumed initial  investment of
$1,000  at the end of one,  five  and ten year  periods.  These  values  will be
calculated by multiplying  the  compounded  average annual total return for each
time period by the amount of the assumed initial investment and will reflect all
recurring charges against Fund income.

    Advertisements  and  communications  may compare the Fund's  performance  to
major market indices.  Quotations of historical total returns are not indicative
of future dividend  income or total return,  but are an indication of the return
to shareholders  only for the 


                                       7
<PAGE>


limited  historical  period  used.  The Fund's  total  return will depend on the
particular investments in its portfolio,  its total operating expenses and other
conditions. For further information, including the formula and an example of the
total return calculation, see the Statement of Additional Information.

                 DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND REINVESTMENT POLICY

    The Fund intends to declare or distribute a dividend from its net investment
income  and/or  net  capital  gain  income  to  shareholders  annually  or  more
frequently if necessary in order to comply with distribution requirements of the
Code to avoid the imposition of regular Federal income tax, and if applicable, a
4% excise tax.

    Any  dividends  and  distribution  payments  will be reinvested at net asset
value,  without sales charge,  in additional  full and fractional  shares of the
Fund.  Dividend and capital  gain  distributions  are  generally  not  currently
taxable to owners of variable contracts.

                                   TAX MATTERS

    The Fund. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated  investment  company by
satisfying the  requirements  under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") concerning diversification of assets, distribution
of  income  and  sources  of  income.  When the Fund  qualifies  as a  regulated
investment  company and all of its taxable  income is  distributed in accordance
with the  timing  requirements  imposed  by the Code,  it will not be subject to
federal income tax. If, however,  for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify
as a  regulated  investment  company,  then all of its  taxable  income  will be
subject  to  tax  at  regular   corporate   rates  (without  any  deduction  for
distributions  to  the  separate   accounts  of  the   Participating   Insurance
Companies), and the accounts will be subject to tax on such distributions to the
extent  that the  distributing  Fund has current and  accumulated  earnings  and
profits.

    Fund Distributions. Capital gain and ordinary income dividends from the Fund
are not  currently  taxable when left to  accumulate  within a variable  annuity
contract.

    Share  Redemptions.  Gain or loss realized on  redemptions of shares held by
the separate accounts of Participating Insurance Companies generally will not be
taxable to the separate accounts or to the contract holders.

    Summary.  The foregoing  discussion of federal  income tax  consequences  is
based on tax laws and regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus,  and
is subject to change by legislative  or  administrative  action.  The discussion
assumes that the separate accounts of the Participating  Insurance Companies are
the owners of the  shares and that the  underlying  variable  annuity  contracts
qualify as annuities under the Code. If these  requirements are not met then the
contract  owners will be treated as recognizing  income (from  distributions  or
otherwise) related to the ownership of Fund shares. The foregoing  discussion is
for general  information only; a more detailed  discussion of federal income tax
considerations is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.  Holders
of variable annuity  contracts must consult the prospectuses of their respective
contracts  or  policies  for  information  concerning  the  federal  income  tax
consequences of owning such contracts.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

    The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts  business trust on October 7, 1988
under the name  Lexington  Gold Trust.  At a meeting held on September 30, 1991,
the  shareholders  of the Fund  approved  a  change  in the  Fund's  fundamental
investment  objective and policies.  In connection with the change of investment
objective  and policies,  the Fund also changed its name to  "Lexington  Natural
Resources Trust." The capitalization of the Fund consists solely of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial  interest,  no par value. When issued,  shares of
the Fund are fully paid, non-assessable and freely transferable.

    Unlike the  stockholder of a corporation,  shareholders  could under certain
circumstances  be held  personally  liable  for  the  obligations  of the  Fund.
However,  the  Declaration  of Trust  disclaims  liability of the  shareholders,
Trustees, or officers of the Fund for acts or obligations of the Fund, which are
binding only on the assets and property of the Fund.  The  Declaration  of Trust
provides for  


                                       8
<PAGE>


indemnification out of Fund property for all loss and expense of any shareholder
held  personally  liable  for  the  obligations  of  the  Fund.  The  risk  of a
shareholder  incurring  financial  loss on account of  shareholder  liability is
limited to  circumstances  in which the Fund itself  would be unable to meet its
obligations and thus should be considered remote.

    Voting Rights

    Shareholders of the Fund are given certain voting rights.  Each share of the
Fund will be given one vote,  unless a different  allocation of voting rights is
required under applicable law for a mutual fund that is an investment medium for
variable life insurance or annuity contracts.  Participating insurance companies
provide  variable  annuity Contract Holders and Participants the right to direct
the voting of Fund shares at shareholder meetings to the extent required by law.
See  the  Separate  Account  Prospectus  for  the  Variable  Contract  for  more
information regarding the pass-through of these voting rights.

    Massachusetts  business  trust law does not  require the Fund to hold annual
shareholder meetings,  although special meetings may be called for the Fund, for
purposes such as electing or removing Trustees, changing fundamental policies or
approving an investment  management  contract.  A shareholders'  meeting will be
held after the Fund begins  operations  for the purpose of electing  the initial
Board of Trustees.  In addition,  the Fund will be required to hold a meeting to
elect  Trustees  to fill any  existing  vacancies  on the Board if, at any time,
fewer than a majority of the Trustees have been elected by the  shareholders  of
the  Fund.  In  addition,  the  holders  of  not  less  than  two-thirds  of the
outstanding  shares or other  voting  interests  of the Fund may remove a person
serving as Trustee  either by  declaration in writing or at a meeting called for
such  purpose.  The  Trustees  are required to call a meeting for the purpose of
considering the removal of a person serving as trustee,  if requested in writing
to do so by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding  shares of other
voting  interests of the Fund.  The Fund is required to assist in  shareholders'
communications.  In accordance with current laws, an insurance company issuing a
variable life insurance or annuity  contract that  participates in the Fund will
request voting  instructions from Contract Holders and will vote shares or other
voting   interests  in  the  Separate   Account  in  proportion  to  the  voting
instructions received.

Counsel and Independent Auditors

    Kramer,  Levin,  Naftalis,  Nessen,  Kamin & Frankel  will  pass upon  legal
matters for the Fund in connection with the shares offered by this Prospectus.

    KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, New York,  New York has been selected as  independent
auditors for the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.

Custodians, Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent

Chase  Manhattan  Bank,  N.A.,  1211 Avenue of the Americas,  New York, New York
10036 has been retained to act as the Custodian for the Fund's  investments  and
assets.  In addition,  Chase  Manhattan Bank, N.A. may appoint foreign banks and
securities  depositories  to act as  sub-custodians  for  the  Fund's  portfolio
securities  subject to their  qualification as eligible foreign custodians under
the rules adopted by the SEC.  State Street Bank & Trust  Company,  225 Franklin
Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02110 has been  retained to act as the Transfer
Agent and Dividend  Disbursing Agent for the Fund. Neither Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A. nor State Street Bank and Trust  Company have any part in  determining  the
investment policies of the Fund or in determining which portfolio securities are
to be  purchased  or sold by the Fund or in the  declaration  of  dividends  and
distributions.

                         GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

    The Fund was formerly  named  "Lexington  Gold Trust".  At a meeting held on
September 30, 1991, the shareholders of the Fund approved a change in the Fund's
fundamental  investment objective and policies. In connection with the change of
investment objective and policies,  the Fund also changed its name to "Lexington
Natural Resources Trust."

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

    The  Fund's  investment  objective  is to seek  long-term  growth of capital
through investment primarily in common stocks of companies which own, or develop
natural resources and other basic  commodities,  or supply goods and services to
such companies.  Current income will not be a factor.  Total return will consist
primarily of capital appreciation.

    Management  attempts  to achieve  the  investment  objective  of the Fund by
seeking  to  identify  securities  of  companies  that,  in  its  opinion,   are
undervalued relative to the value of natural resource holdings of such companies
in light of current and anticipated  economic or financial  conditions.  Natural
resource  assets are materials  derived from natural sources which have economic
value.  The Fund will consider a company to have  substantial  natural  resource
assets when, in management's  opinion,  the company's holdings of the assets are
of such magnitude,  when compared to the  capitalization,  revenues or operating
profits of the company,  that  changes in the economic  value of the assets will
affect the market price of the equity securities of such company.  Generally,  a
company has substantial natural resource



                                       1
<PAGE>

assets  when at  least  50% of the  non-current  assets,  capitalization,  gross
revenues  or  operating  profits of the  company  in the most  recent or current
fiscal year are  involved in or result  from,  directly  or  indirectly  through
subsidiaries,  exploring, mining, refining, processing,  fabricating, dealing in
or owning natural resource assets.  Examples of natural resource assets include:
companies  that  specialize in energy  sources  (e.g.  coal,  geothermal  power,
natural gas and oil), environmental technology (e.g. pollution control and waste
recycling),  forest products,  agricultural products, chemical products, ferrous
and non- ferrous metals (e.g. iron, aluminum and copper), strategic metals (e.g.
uranium and titanium),  precious metals (e.g.  gold,  silver and platinum),  and
other basic  commodities.  The Fund presently does not intend to invest directly
in natural resource assets or related  contracts.  The Fund may invest up to 25%
of its total  assets in  securities  principally  traded in markets  outside the
United States.

    Management  of the Fund  believes  that,  based upon past  performance,  the
securities  of  specific  companies  that hold  different  types of  substantial
natural resource assets may move relatively  independently of one another during
different stages of inflationary  cycles due to different degrees of demand for,
or  market  values  of,  their  respective   natural  resource  holdings  during
particular  portions  of such  inflationary  cycles.  The Fund's  fully  managed
investment  approach  enables it to switch its emphasis  among various  industry
groups depending upon management's outlook with respect to prevailing trends and
developments. The investment objective and policies of the Fund described in the
first two  paragraphs of this section are  fundamental  policies of the Fund and
may not be changed  without  the  approval  of the  holders of a majority of the
Fund's outstanding  voting securities,  as defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    The Fund's investment objective, as described under "Investment Policy," and
the following  investment  restrictions are matters of fundamental  policy which
may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more
of the shares of the Fund present at a shareholder's  meeting at which more than
50% of the  outstanding  shares are present or  represented by proxy or (b) more
than 50% of the outstanding  shares.  The Fund is a  non-diversified  management
investment company and

     1.  with  respect  to 50% of its  assets,  the Fund will not at the time of
         purchase  invest more than 5% of its total assets,  at market value, in
         the  securities  of one issuer  (except  the  securities  of the United
         States Government);

     2.  with  respect to the other 50% of its assets,  the Fund will not invest
         at the time of purchase  more than 25% of the market value of its total
         assets in any single issuer.

    These two restrictions,  hypothetically, could give rise to a portfolio with
as few as fourteen issues.

    In addition, the Fund will not:

     1.  Purchase  securities  of any  issuer  (other  than  obligations  of, or
         guaranteed   by,  the  United  States   government,   its  agencies  or
         instrumentalities)  if, as a  result,  more than 5% of the value of the
         Fund's assets would be invested in securities of that issuer.

     2.  Purchase more than 10% of the voting securities or more than 10% of any
         class of  securities of any issuer.  (For this purpose all  outstanding
         debt  securities  of an issuer are  considered  as one  class,  and all
         preferred stocks of an issuer are considered as one class.)

     3.  Purchase  any  security  restricted  as to  disposition  under  Federal
         Securities  laws or  securities  that  are not  readily  marketable  or
         purchase any  securities if such a purchase would cause the Fund to own
         at the time of such purchase, illiquid securities, including repurchase
         agreements  with an agreed upon repurchase date in excess of seven days
         from the date of acquisition by the Fund, having aggregate market value
         in excess of 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets.

     4.  Make short sales of  securities  or purchase any  securities on margin,
         except for such short term credits as are  necessary  for the clearance
         of transactions.

     5.  Write, purchase or sell puts, calls or combinations  thereof.  However,
         the Fund may invest up to 15% of the value of its  assets in  warrants.
         The holder of a warrant  has the right to  purchase  a given  number of
         shares of a particular  company at a specified price until  expiration.
         Such investments generally can provide a greater potential for profit -
         or loss - than  investment  of an equivalent  amount in the  underlying
         common stock.  The prices of warrants do not necessarily  move parallel
         to the prices of the underlying securities. If the holder does not sell
         the warrant,  he risks the loss of his entire  investment if the market
         price of the underlying  stock does not,  before the  expiration  date,
         exceed the  exercise  price of the warrant  plus the cost  thereof.  It
         should


                                       2
<PAGE>

         be understood  that  investment in warrants is a speculative  activity.
         Warrants pay no dividends and confer no rights (other than the right to
         purchase  the  underlying  stock)  with  respect  to the  assets of the
         corporation  issuing them. In addition,  the sale of warrants held more
         than one year generally  results in a long term capital gain or loss to
         the  holder,  and the sale of  warrants  held for less than such period
         generally  results in a short term  capital  gain or loss.  The holding
         period for  securities  acquired  upon  exercise of warrants,  however,
         begins on the day after the date of  exercise,  regardless  of how long
         the warrant was held. This restriction on the purchase of warrants does
         not apply to warrants  attached  to, or  otherwise  included in, a unit
         with other securities.

     6.  Invest in any commodities or commodities  futures contracts,  including
         futures contracts relating to gold.

     7.  Invest in real estate.

     8.  Invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in  securities  of
         issuers  which,  with  their  predecessors,  have a record of less than
         three years continuous operation.

     9.  Purchase  or retain the  securities  of any issuer if the  officers  or
         Trustees of the Fund, or its Investment Adviser, or Sub-Adviser who own
         individually  more  than  1/2 of 1% of the  securities  of such  issuer
         together own more than 5% of the securities of such issuer.

     10. Lend money or  securities,  provided  that the making of time or demand
         deposits with domestic banks and the purchase of debt  securities  such
         as bonds, debentures, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and short
         term  obligations in accordance with the Fund's objective and policies,
         are not prohibited.

     11. Borrow money, except for temporary emergency purposes,  and in no event
         more than 5% of its net assets at value or cost,  whichever is less; or
         pledge its gold or portfolio  securities or  receivables or transfer or
         assign or otherwise  encumber  them in an amount  exceeding  10% of the
         value of its total assets.

     12. Underwrite securities issued by others.

     13. Purchase securities of other investment companies, except in connection
         with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of assets.

     14. Invest for the purpose of  exercising  control or management of another
         company.

     15. Participate  on a joint or a joint  and  several  basis in any  trading
         account in securities.

    The  percentage  restrictions  referred to above are to be adhered to at the
time of  investment,  and are not  applicable to a later increase or decrease in
percentage  beyond the specified  limit resulting from a change in values or net
assets.

         INVESTMENT ADVISER, SUB-ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR

    Lexington Management  Corporation ("LMC"),  P.O. Box 1515/Park 80 West Plaza
Two, Saddle Brook, New Jersey 07663, is the investment adviser to the Fund, and,
as such,  advises  and makes  recommendations  to the Fund with  respect  to its
investments and investment policies.

    LMC has entered into a sub-advisory  management contract with Market Systems
Research  Advisors,  Inc.  ("MSR"),  80 Maiden Lane, New York, New York 10038, a
registered  investment  advisor,  under which the MSR will provide the Fund with
certain investment management and administrative services.

    Under the terms of the investment  management  agreement,  LMC also pays the
Fund's expenses for office rent,  utilities,  telephone,  furniture and supplies
utilized for the Fund's principal office and the salaries and payroll expense of
officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of LMC or its  affiliates in
carrying out its duties under the investment management agreement. The Fund pays
all its other expenses,  including  custodian and transfer agent fees, legal and
registration fees, audit fees, printing of prospectuses, shareholder reports and
communications  required for regulatory purposes or for distribution to existing
shareholders, computation of net asset value, mailing of shareholder reports and
communications, portfolio brokerage, taxes and independent Trustees' fees.

    LMC shall  reimburse the Fund in any fiscal year for the amount by which the
Fund's aggregate expenses exceed the most restrictive  expense limits imposed by
any statute or regulatory  authority of any  jurisdiction in which shares of the
Fund are  offered for sale during  such year.  Brokerage  fees and  commissions,
taxes, interest and extraordinary  expenses are not deemed to be expenses of the
Fund for such reimbursement.

     LMC's  services  are  provided  and  its  investment  advisory  fee is paid
pursuant to an investment management agreement, dated August 20, 1991 which will
automatically  terminate if assigned and which may be terminated by either party
upon 60 days' notice. The terms of the agreement and any renewal thereof must be
approved annually by a majority 


                                       3
<PAGE>

of the Fund's  Board of  Trustees,  including a majority of Trustees who are not
parties to the agreement or "interested  persons" of such parties,  as such term
is defined under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  For the year
ended December 31, 1994 LMC received  $107,760 in investment  advisory fees from
the Fund and paid MSR $53,880.

    LMC serves as investment  adviser to other investment  companies and private
and institutional investment accounts.  Included among these clients are persons
and  organizations  which own  significant  amounts  of  capital  stock of LMC's
parent.  These clients pay fees which LMC considers comparable to the fee levels
for similarly  served  clients.  LMC's accounts are managed  independently  with
reference to the applicable  investment objectives and current security holdings
but on  occasion  more than one fund or  counsel  account  may seek to engage in
transactions  in the same security at the same time. To the extent  practicable,
such  transactions  will be effected on a pro-rata  basis in  proportion  to the
respective  amounts  of  securities  to be bought  and sold for a fund,  and the
allocated  transactions  will be averaged as to price.  While this procedure may
adversely affect the price or volume of a given Fund  transaction,  LMC believes
that the  ability  of the  Fund to  participate  in  combined  transactions  may
generally produce better execution overall.

    MSR,  the   Sub-Adviser   serves  as  investment   adviser  to  private  and
institutional accounts.

    LMC also acts as  administrator  to the Fund  pursuant to an  Administration
Services  Agreement dated February 28, 1995 and performs certain  administrative
and internal  accounting  services,  including  but not limited to,  maintaining
general  ledger  accounts,  regulatory  compliance,   preparation  of  financial
information   for  semiannual  and  annual   reports,   preparing   registration
statements,   calculating  net  asset  values,  shareholder  communications  and
supervision  of the custodian,  transfer agent and provides  facilities for such
services.  The Fund shall  reimburse  LMC for its actual cost in providing  such
services, facilities and expenses.

    Lexington  Funds  Distributor,  Inc.  ("LFD") serves as distributor for Fund
shares under a distribution  agreement  which is subject to annual approval by a
majority of the Fund's Board of  Trustees,  including a majority of Trustees who
are not "interested persons."

    LMC and LFD are wholly owned  subsidiaries  of Piedmont  Management  Company
Inc., a publicly traded  corporation.  Piedmont  Management Company Inc. holds a
controlling  interest in MSR.  Descendants  of Lunsford  Richardson,  Sr., their
spouses,  trusts and other related  entities have a majority  voting  control of
outstanding shares of Piedmont Management Company Inc.

    Of the Trustees,  officers or employees  ("affiliated persons") of the Fund,
Messrs. Corniotes,  DeMichele,  Faust, Hisey, Kantor, Lavery, Petruski and Mmes.
Carnicelli,  Carr,  Curcio,  Gilfillan and Mosca (see "Management of the Fund"),
may also be deemed  affiliates of LMC by virtue of being  officers,  trustees or
employees thereof.

                PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

    As a general matter, purchases and sales of portfolio securities by the Fund
are  placed by LMC or MSR with  brokers  and  dealers  who in its  opinion  will
provide the Fund with the best  combination  of price  (inclusive  of  brokerage
commissions)  and  execution  for its  orders.  However,  pursuant to the Fund's
investment  management agreement,  management  consideration may be given in the
selection of  broker-dealers  to research  provided and payment may be made at a
fee higher  than that  charged by another  broker-dealer  which does not furnish
research  services or which furnishes  research  services deemed to be of lesser
value,  so long as the criteria of Section 28(e) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934,  as amended are met.  Section  28(e) was adopted in 1975 and  specifies
that a person  with  investment  discretion  shall not be  "deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached a fiduciary  duty" solely because such person has
caused the account to pay a higher  commission  than the lowest  available under
certain  circumstances,  provided  that  the  person  so  exercising  investment
discretion  makes a good  faith  determination  that  the  commissions  paid are
"reasonable  in relation to the value of the  brokerage  and  research  services
provided  . . . viewed in terms of either  that  particular  transaction  or his
overall  responsibilities  with respect to the accounts as to which he exercises
investment discretion."

    Currently,  it is not possible to determine the extent to which  commissions
that reflect an element of value for research services might exceed  commissions
that would be payable for execution  services alone. Nor generally can the value
of research services to the Fund be measured.  Research services furnished might
be  useful  and of  value to LMC or MSR and its  affiliates,  in  serving  other
clients as well as the Fund. On the other hand, any research  services  obtained
by LMC or MSR or its  affiliates  from the  placement of portfolio  brokerage of
other  clients  might be useful and of value to LMC or MSR in  carrying  out its
obligations to the Fund.

    As a general  matter,  it is the Fund's  policy to  execute in the U.S.  all
transactions  with respect to securities  traded in the U.S.  except when better
price and execution  can, in the judgment of management of the Fund, be obtained
elsewhere. Over-the-counter purchases and sales are normally made with principal
market makers,  except where, in the opinion of management,  the best executions
are available elsewhere.


                                       4
<PAGE>

    In addition,  the Fund may from time to time allocate brokerage  commissions
to firms which furnish  research and  statistical  information  to LMC or MSR or
which render to the Fund  services  which LMC or MSR is not required to provide.
The  supplementary  research supplied by such firms is useful in varying degrees
and is of  indeterminable  value.  No  formula  has  been  established  for  the
allocation of business to such brokers.  For the fiscal year ended  December 31,
1992,  the portfolio  turnover  rate for the Fund was 65.50%,  and the Fund paid
$6,696 in brokerage  commissions.  For the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1993,
the  portfolio  turnover rate for the Fund was 114.44% and the Fund paid $25,556
in brokerage  commissions.  For the fiscal year ended  December  31,  1994,  the
portfolio  turnover  rate for the Fund was 87.40%,  and the Fund paid $66,168 in
brokerage commissions.

    Advisory fees paid to LMC and expense reimbursements paid to the Fund are as
follows:

   Period             Advisory Fee    Sub Advisory Fee    Expense Reimbursement
   ------             ------------    ----------------    ---------------------

1/1/92 to 12/31/92      $ 16,606           $ 8,303                $0

1/1/93 to 12/31/93        30,699            15,350                 0

1/1/94 to 12/31/94       107,760            53,880                 0


                             PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

    For purposes of quoting and comparing the performance of the Fund to that of
other mutual funds and to other relevant market indices in  advertisements or in
reports to  shareholders,  rules  promulgated  by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("SEC"), a fund's advertising  performance must include total return
quotations calculated according to the following formula:

  P(1 + T)n  = ERV

  Where:   P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,

           T = average annual total return,

           n = number of years (1, 5 or 10)

         ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment,
               made at the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year period, at the
               end of such period (or fractional portion thereof).

    Under the foregoing  formula,  the time periods used in advertising  will be
based on rolling calendar  quarters,  updated to the last day of the most recent
quarter prior to submission of the advertising for  publication,  and will cover
1, 5 and 10 year periods of the Fund's  existence or such shorter  period dating
from the effectiveness of the Fund's Registration  Statement. In calculating the
ending  redeemable  value,  the maximum  sales load is deducted from the initial
$1,000  payment and all dividends and  distributions  by the Fund are assumed to
have been  reinvested  at net asset value as described in the  Prospectus on the
reinvestment dates during the period. Total return, or "T" in the formula above,
is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the 1,
5 and 10 year  periods (or  fractional  portion  thereof)  that would equate the
initial amount invested to the ending  redeemable  value. Any recurring  account
charges  that might in the future be  imposed by the Fund would be  included  at
that time.

    The Fund may also  from time to time  include  in such  advertising  a total
return figure that is not calculated according to the formula set forth above in
order to compare more accurately the performance of the Fund with other measures
of investment  return.  For example,  in comparing the Fund's total return,  the
Fund calculates its aggregate total return for the specified  periods of time by
assuming the investment of $10,000 in Fund shares and assuming the  reinvestment
of each dividend or other distribution at net asset value on the reinvestment of
each dividend or other distribution at net asset value on the reinvestment date.
Percentage  increases  are  determined by  subtracting  the initial value of the
investment  from the ending value and by dividing the remainder by the beginning
value.  Such  alternative  total  return  information  will be given no  greater
prominence in advertising than the information  prescribed under Item 21 of Form
N-1A.

    The Fund's  performance may be compared in advertising to the performance of
other  mutual  funds  in  general,  or of  particular  types  of  mutual  funds,
especially those with similar objectives.  Such performance data may be prepared
by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other independent services which monitor
the  performance  of  mutual  funds.  The Fund may also  advertise  mutual  fund
performance rankings which have been assigned to it by such monitoring services.

    Pursuant to the SEC calculation, the Fund's average total rate of return for
the period August 1, 1989  (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994 was
- -2.60% and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the total rate of return
was -5.38%.

                 DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND REINVESTMENT POLICY

    The Fund intends to declare or  distribute  a dividend  from its net capital
gain income to shareholders annually or more frequently if necessary in order to
comply with  distribution  requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"), and to avoid the imposition of regular Federal income tax, and
if applicable, a 4% excise tax.

    Any  dividends  and  distribution  payments  will be reinvested at net asset
value, in additional full and fractional shares of the Fund.


                                   TAX MATTERS

    The  following is only a summary of certain  additional  tax  considerations
that are not described in the Prospectus  and generally  affect the Fund and its
shareholders.  No attempt is made to present a detailed  explanation  of the tax
treatment of the Fund or its  shareholders,  and the discussions here and in the
Prospectus are not intended as substitutes for careful tax planning.

Qualifications as a Regulated Investment Company

    The Fund  intends  to  qualify  to be  treated  as a  "regulated  investment
company"  ("RIC") under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 (the  "Code").  If so
qualified,  the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on its investment
company  taxable income and net capital gains to the extent that such income and
gains are  distributed  in each  taxable  year to the  separate  accounts of the
Participating Insurance Companies. In addition, if the Fund distributes annually
to these separate  accounts its ordinary income and capital gain net income,  in
the  manner  prescribed  by the Code,  it will not be  subject to the 4% federal
excise tax otherwise  applicable to the  undistributed  income or gain of a RIC.
Distributions of net investment income and net short-term  capital gains will be
treated as ordinary income and distributions of net long-term capital gains will
be treated as long-term capital gain in the hands of the Participating Insurance
Companies.  Under current tax law,  capital gain and ordinary  income  dividends
from  the  Fund are not  currently  taxable  when  left to  accumulate  within a
variable annuity contract.

    Section 817(h) of the Code requires that  investments of a segregated  asset
account of an insurance  company be "adequately  diversified" in accordance with
applicable  Treasury  Regulations in order for tbe holders of annuity  contracts
investing  in the account to receive  the  tax-deferred  or  tax-free  treatment
generally  afforded  holders of such contracts under the Code. The Department of
the Treasury has issued  Regulations  under section  817(h)  which,  among other
things,  provide  the  manner in which a  segregated  asset  account  will treat
investments   in  a  RIC  for   purposes  of  the   applicable   diversification
requirements.  Under those Regulations, if a RIC satisfies certain conditions it
will not be treated as a single  investment for these  purposes;  instead,  each
segregated  asset account will be treated as owning its  proportionate  share of
each of the assets of the RIC. The Fund plans to satisfy these conditions at all
times so that segregated asset accounts investing in the Fund will be treated as
adequately diversified.

    For  information  concerning  the  federal  income tax  consequences  to the
holders  of  variable  annuity  contracts,   such  holders  should  consult  the
prospectuses of their particular contracts.  


            CUSTODIANS, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

    Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., 1211 Avenue of the Americas,  New York, New York
10036 has been retained to act as the  Custodian for the Fund. In addition,  the
Fund and Chase  Manhattan  Bank,  N.A.,  may appoint  foreign  banks and foreign
securities  depositories which qualify as eligible foreign  sub-custodians under
rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  State Street Bank and
Trust Company, N.A., 225 Franklin Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts 02110 has been
retained to act as the  Transfer  Agent and  Dividend  Disbursing  Agent for the
Fund.

    The custodians and transfer agent have no part in determining the investment
policies of the Fund or in  determining  which  portfolio  securities  are to be
purchased  or  sold  by  the  Fund  or  in  the  declaration  of  dividends  and
distributions.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Lexington Natural Resources Trust:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets (including the port-
folio of investments) and assets and liabilities of Lexington Natural Resources
Trust as of December 31, 1994, the related statement of operations for the year
then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in
the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and finan-
cial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsi-
bility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights 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 De-
cember 31, 1994 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 pre-
sentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opin-
ion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Lex-
ington Natural Resources Trust as of December 31, 1994 and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with gener-
ally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
 
NOTE 1--Significant Accounting Policies:
Lexington Natural Resources Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end diversified in-
vestment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. With the exception of shares held in connection with initial capital
of the Trust, shares of the Trust are currently being offered only to Aetna
Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("Aetna") for allocation to certain of its
separate accounts established for the purpose of funding variable annuity con-
tracts issued by Aetna. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
 
  INVESTMENTS: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
  Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on the
  identified cost basis. Investments in securities traded on a national secu-
  rities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange as of
  the close of business. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market are
  valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price. Securi-
  ties for which market quotations are not readily available and other assets
  are valued at fair value as determined by management and approved in good
  faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are stated at amor-
  tized
  cost, which approximates market value. Dividend income and distributions to
  shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is ac-
  crued as earned.
 
  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Trust's intention to comply with the re-
  quirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to "regulated investment
  companies" and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
  Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
NOTE 2--Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliate:
The Trust pays an investment advisory fee to Lexington Management Corporation
("LMC") at the annual rate of 1% of the Trust's average daily net assets. LMC
shall reimburse the Trust in any fiscal year for the amount by which the
Trust's aggregate expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions
and extraordinary expenses) exceed the most restrictive expense limits imposed
by any state or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction in which shares of
the Trust are offered for sale during any such year. No reimbursement was re-
quired for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 
The Trust also reimburses LMC for certain expenses, including accounting
costs, which are incurred by the Trust, but paid by LMC.

NOTE 4--Purchases and Sales of Investments:
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments for the year
ended December 31, 1994, excluding short-term securities, were $17,434,482 and
$8,776,636, respectively.
 
At December 31, 1994, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all invest-
ments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted to $563,112
and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there
is an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $638,612.
 
NOTE 5--Investment and Concentration Risks:
The Fund can make significant investments in foreign securities and has a pol-
icy of investing in the securities of companies that own or develop natural
resources and other basic commodities, or supply goods and services to such
companies. There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities
or concentrating in specific industries such as natural resources that are in
addition to the usual risks inherent in domestic investments. These risks in-
clude those resulting from future adverse political and economic developments,
as well as the possible imposition of foreign exchange or other foreign gov-
ernmental restrictions or laws.
 
NOTE 6--Federal Income Taxes--Capital Loss Carryforwards:
Capital loss carryforwards available for Federal income tax purposes as of De-
cember 31, 1994 are as follows:
 
  $44,907 expiring in 1999;
  $106,168 expiring in 2000;
  $1,577 expiring in 2001;
  $297,900 expiring in 2002; and
  $192,570 expiring in 2003.
 
To the extent any future capital gains are offset by these losses, such gains
would not be distributed to shareholders.
 
Treasury regulations were issued in early 1990 which provide that capital
losses incurred after October 31 of a trust's taxable year should be deemed to
have occurred on the first day of the following taxable year (i.e., January
1). The regulations indicate that a fund may elect to retroactively apply
these rules for purposes of computing taxable income. Accordingly, the capital
loss carryforwards for the Trust have been adjusted to reflect prior years'
post-October losses in the next fiscal year.
