NORTH CAROLINA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

===============================================================================


1. Summary of Accounting Policies.

North Carolina 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.  In all other  respects,  the
Class A and Class B shares  represent the same interest in the income and assets
of the Fund.  Distribution  of Class B shares  commenced  December 12, 1994. 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 .40%
of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Manager is required to reimburse the
Fund  for  its  expenses   (exclusive  of  interest,   taxes,   brokerage,   and
extraordinary  expenses)  to  the  extent  that  such  expenses,  including  the
investment management and the shareholder servicing and administration

2.   Investment   Management  Fees  and  Other   Transactions   with  Affiliates
(Continued).

fees,  for any fiscal  year  exceed the limits on  investment  company  expenses
prescribed  by any state in which the Fund's  shares are  qualified for sale. No
such  reimbursement  was required for the period  ended  February 29, 1996.  

The Manager is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of New England  Investment  Companies,
L.P.  ("NEIC").  On August 16, 1995, New England  Mutual Life Insurance  Company
("The New England"), the owner of NEIC's general partner and a majority owner of
the limited  partnership  interest in NEIC,  entered  into an agreement to merge
with  Metropolitan Life Insurance  Company  ("MetLife"),  with MetLife to be the
survivor of the merger. The merger is subject to several  conditions,  including
the required approval,  by shareholders of the Fund of a proposed new investment
advisory  agreement,  intended to take effect at the time of the merger. The new
agreement will be substantially similar to the existing agreement.

Pursuant to an Administrative  Services Contract the Fund pays to the Manager an
annual fee of .21% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  Prior to December 1,
1995, the Administrative fee was .20%.

4. Sales of Securities.

Accumulated  undistributed  realized  losses at February  29,  1995  amounted to
$1,625.  At February  29,  1996 tax basis  capital  losses  which may be carried
forward to offset future  capital gains  amounted to $5,242.  Such losses expire
August 31, 2000 and 2001.

5. Concentration of Credit Risk.

The Fund invests primarily in obligations of political subdivisions of the State
of North  Carolina and,  accordingly,  is subject to the credit risk  associated
with the non-performance of such issuers. Approximately 63% 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.
