NORTH CAROLINA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
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. 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. 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. (the Manager) at the annual rate of
.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

================================================================================
2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
(Continued).
Pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted under Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 12b-1, the Fund and Reich & Tang Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor) have

4. Sales of Securities.
Accumulated undistributed realized losses at August 31, 1998 amounted to $1,303.
Such amount represents tax basis capital losses which may be carried forward to
offset future capital gains. Such losses expire August 31, 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 48% 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.
