FOOTNOTES:
(a) Unless the variable rate demand instruments are assigned their own ratings,
the ratings are those of the holding company of the bank whose letter of
credit guarantees the issue or the insurance company who insures the issue.
All letters of credit and insurance are irrevocable and direct pay covering
both principal and interest. Certain issuers have either a line of credit,
a liquidity facility, a standby purchase agreement or some other financing
mechanism to ensure the remarketing of the securities. This is not a
guarantee and does not serve to insure or collateralize the issue.
(b) Securities payable on demand at par including accrued interest (usually
with seven days notice) and where indicated 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.

PENNSYLVANIA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
1. Summary of Accounting Policies.
Pennsylvania Daily Municipal Income Fund, a Massachusetts business trust, is a
no-load, non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This 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 October 10,
1996 and all Fund shares outstanding before October 10, 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 Trustees.
d) Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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), equal to .40% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
(Continued).
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 not in excess of $1.25
billion, plus .20% of such assets in excess of $1.25 billion but not in excess
of $1.5 billion, plus .19% of such assets in excess of $1.5 billion.
Pursuant to a distribution and service plan adopted under Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 12b-1, the Fund and Reich & Tang Distributors, Inc.,
(the Distributor), an affiliate of the Manager, have entered into a Distribution
Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing Agreement, only with respect to its Class
A shares. For its services under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the
Distributor receives from the Fund, only with respect to its Class A shares, a
fee equal to .25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There were no
additional expenses borne by the Fund pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
For the period ended May 31, 2000 the Manager voluntarily waived investment
management fees and administration fees of $27,310 and $14,338, respectively. In
addition, although not required to do so, the Manager has agreed to reimburse
expenses amounting to $40,414.
Fees are paid to Trustees who are unaffiliated with the Manager on the basis of
$1,000 per annum plus $250 per meeting attended.
3. Capital Stock.
At May 31, 2000, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest ($.01 par
value) were authorized and capital paid in amounted to $7,780,258. Transactions
in shares of beneficial interest, all at $1.00 per share, were as follows:

4. Sales of Securities.
Accumulated undistributed realized losses at May 31, 2000 amounted to $1,493.
This amount represents tax basis capital losses which may be carried forward to
offset future gains. Such losses expire on November 30, 2001 and 2006.
5. Concentration of Credit Risk.
The Fund invests primarily in obligations of political subdivisions of the State
of Pennsylvania and, accordingly, is subject to the credit risk associated with
the non-performance of such issuers. Approximately 62% 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.
