FOOTNOTES:

(a)  Unless the variable rate demand instruments are assigned their own ratings,
     the ratings noted are those of the bank whose letter of credit secures such
     instruments.  P1 and A1+ are the highest  ratings  assigned  for tax exempt
     commercial paper.

(b)  Securities  that are not rated  which the  Fund's  Board of  Directors  has
     determined to be of comparable quality to the rated securities in which the
     Fund invests.

(c)  Securities are payable on demand at par including accrued interest (usually
     with seven days notice) and where applicable are unconditionally secured as
     to principal  and interest by a bank letter of credit.  The interest  rates
     are  adjustable  and are based on bank prime rates or other  interest  rate
     adjustment  indices.  The rate  shown is the rate in  effect at the date of
     this statement.

(d)  The maturity date indicated is the next put date.

NEW JERSEY DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

================================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.

New Jersey  Daily  Municipal  Income Fund,  Inc. is a no-load,  non-diversified,
open-end  management  investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940.  The Fund is a short term,  tax exempt money market fund.  The Fund
has two classes of stock authorized, Class A and Class B. The Class A shares are
subject to a service fee  pursuant to the  Distribution  and Service  Plan.  The
Class B shares are not  subject  to a service  fee.  Additionally,  the Fund may
allocate among its classes certain expenses, to the extent allowable to specific
classes,  including transfer agent fees,  government  registration fees, certain
printing  and  postage  costs,  and  administrative  and legal  expenses.  Class
specific  expenses of the Fund were  limited to  distribution  fees and transfer
agent expenses.  In all other respects the Class A and Class B shares  represent
the same interest in the income and assets of the Fund. Distribution for Class B
shares  commenced  on February 9, 1996 and all Fund  shares  outstanding  before
February  9,  1996  were  designated  as Class A shares.  The  Fund's  financial
statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles for investment companies as follows:

     a) Valuation of Securities -

     Investments are valued at amortized cost.  Under this valuation  method,  a
     portfolio  instrument  is valued at cost and any  discount  or  premium  is
     amortized  on a  constant  basis to the  maturity  of the  instrument.  The
     maturity of variable rate demand  instruments is deemed to be the longer of
     the period  required  before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the
     principal  amount or the  period  remaining  until the next  interest  rate
     adjustment.

     b) Federal Income Taxes -

     It is the Fund's  policy to comply with the  requirements  of the  Internal
     Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
     all of its tax exempt and taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
     provision for federal income tax is required.

     c) Dividends and Distributions -

     Dividends from investment  income  (excluding  capital gains and losses, if
     any, and  amortization  of market  discount)  are  declared  daily and paid
     monthly.  Distributions of net capital gains, if any,  realized on sales of
     investments are made after the close of the Fund's fiscal year, as declared
     by the Fund's Board of Directors.

     d) Use of Estimates -

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in
     net assets from  operations  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results
     could differ from those estimates.

     e) General -

     Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income
     is  accrued  as  earned.   Realized   gains  and  losses  from   securities
     transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Under the Investment Management Contract, the Fund pays an investment management
fee to Reich & Tang Asset Management L.P. (Manager),  at the annual rate of .30%
of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pursuant to an Administrative  Services Agreement,  the Fund pays to the Manager
an annual fee of .21% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Shareholder  Servicing  Agreement,  the Distributor  receives from the Fund with
respect  only to the Class A shares,  a fee equal to .20% of the Fund's  average
daily net assets.  There were no additional  expenses borne by the Fund pursuant

</TABLE>

4. Sales of Securities.

Accumulated  undistributed  net realized  losses at October 31, 1998 amounted to
$16,041.  This amount  represents  tax basis capital losses which may be carried
forward to offset future  capital  gains.  Such losses  expire  October 31, 1999
through October 31, 2004.

5. Concentration of Credit Risk.

The Fund invests primarily in obligations of political subdivisions of the State
of  New  Jersey  and,  is  subject  to  the  credit  risk  associated  with  the
non-performance  of such issuers.  Approximately  46% of these  investments  are
further  secured,  as to principal and interest,  by letters of credit issued by
financial  institutions.  The Fund maintains a policy of monitoring its exposure
by  reviewing  the  credit  worthiness  of the  issuers,  as well as that of the
financial institutions issuing the letters of credit, and by limiting the amount
of holdings with letters of credit from one financial institution.
