CALIFORNIA INSURED PORTFOLIO--RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
The Fund seeks interest income that is
exempt from regular federal income taxes
and some state and local taxes by
investing in a fixed portfolio
consisting primarily of insured, long
term municipal revenue bonds.
2. WHAT ARE MUNICIPAL REVENUE BONDS?
Municipal revenue bonds are bonds issued
by states, municipalities and public
authorities to finance the cost of
buying, building or improving various
projects intended to generate revenue,
such as airports, health care
facilities, housing and municipal
electric, water and sewer utilities.
Generally, payments on these bonds
depend solely on the revenues generated
by the projects, excise taxes or state
appropriations, and are not backed by
the government's taxing power.
3. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
- The Fund plans to hold to maturity 7
long-term tax-exempt municipal bonds
with an aggregate face amount of
$2,780,000.
- The Fund is a unit investment trust
which means that, unlike a mutual fund,
the Portfolio is not managed.
- The bonds are rated AAA or Aaa by
Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch.
- Many of the bonds can be called at a
premium declining over time to par
value. Some bonds may be called earlier
at par for extraordinary reasons.
- 100% of the bonds are insured by
insurance companies that guarantee
timely payments of principal and
interest on the bonds (but not Fund
units or the market value of the bonds
before they mature).
The Portfolio consists of municipal
bonds of the following types:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
/ / Airports/Ports/Highways 8%
<S> <C>
/ / Hospitals/Health Care 15%
/ / Municipal Water/Sewer
Utilities 35%
/ / Refunded Bonds 11%
/ / Special Tax 18%
/ / Municipal Electric Utilities 13%
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
4. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?
YOU CAN LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE
FUND. THIS CAN HAPPEN FOR VARIOUS
REASONS, INCLUDING:
- Rising interest rates, an issuer's
worsening financial condition or a drop
in bond ratings can reduce the price of
your units.
- Because the Fund is concentrated in
municipal water/sewer utility bonds,
adverse developments in this sector may
affect the value of your units.
- Assuming no changes in interest rates,
when you sell your units, they will
generally be worth less than your cost
because your cost included a sales fee.
- The Fund will receive early returns of
principal if bonds are called or sold
before they mature. If this happens your
income will decline and you may not be
able to reinvest the money you receive at
as high a yield or as long a maturity.
ALSO, THE PORTFOLIO IS CONCENTRATED IN
BONDS OF CALIFORNIA SO IT IS LESS
DIVERSIFIED THAN A NATIONAL FUND AND IS
SUBJECT TO RISKS PARTICULAR TO CALIFORNIA
WHICH ARE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED UNDER STATE
CONCENTRATION RISKS LATER IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

<TABLE>
<C> <S>
5. IS THIS FUND APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?
Yes, if you want federally tax-free
income. You will benefit from a
professionally selected and supervised
portfolio whose risk is reduced by
investing in insured bonds of several
different issuers.
The Fund is NOT appropriate for you if
you want a speculative investment that
changes to take advantage of market
movements, if you do not want a
tax-advantaged investment or if you
cannot tolerate any risk.

8. IS THE FUND MANAGED?
Unlike a mutual fund, the Fund is not managed
and bonds are not sold because of market
changes. Rather, experienced Defined Asset Funds
financial analysts regularly review the bonds in
the Fund. The Fund may sell a bond if certain
adverse credit or other conditions exist.
</TABLE>

<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
9. HOW DO I BUY UNITS?
The minimum investment is one unit.
You can buy units from any of the
Sponsors and other broker-dealers. The
Sponsors are listed later in this
prospectus. Some banks may offer units
for sale through special arrangements
with the Sponsors, although certain
legal restrictions may apply.
UNIT PRICE PER UNIT $1,008.00
(as of February 29, 2000)
Unit price is based on the net asset
value of the Fund plus the sales fee.
An amount equal to any principal cash,
as well as net accrued but
undistributed interest on the unit, is
added to the unit price. An independent
evaluator prices the bonds at 3:30 p.m.
Eastern time every business day. Unit
price changes every day with changes in
the prices of the bonds in the Fund.
10. HOW DO I SELL UNITS?
You may sell your units at any time to
any Sponsor or the Trustee for the net
asset value determined at the close of
business on the date of sale. You will
not pay any other fee when you sell
your units.
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
11. HOW ARE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?
The Fund pays income monthly.
In the opinion of bond counsel when each
bond was issued, interest on the bonds
in this Fund is generally 100% exempt
from regular federal income tax. Your
income may also be exempt from some
California state and local personal
income taxes if you live in California.
You will also receive principal payments
if bonds are sold or called or mature,
when the cash available is more than
$5.00 per unit. You will be subject to
tax on any gain realized by the Fund on
the disposition of bonds.
12. WHAT OTHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
REINVESTMENT
You will receive your income in cash
unless you choose to compound your
income by reinvesting at no sales fee in
the Municipal Fund Investment
Accumulation Program, Inc. This program
is an open-end mutual fund with a
comparable investment objective, but the
bonds will generally not be insured.
Income from this program will generally
be subject to state and local income
taxes. FOR MORE COMPLETE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING CHARGES AND
FEES, ASK THE TRUSTEE FOR THE PROGRAM'S
PROSPECTUS. READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU
INVEST. THE TRUSTEE MUST RECEIVE YOUR
WRITTEN ELECTION TO REINVEST AT LEAST 10
DAYS BEFORE THE RECORD DAY OF AN INCOME
PAYMENT.

9. HOW DO I BUY UNITS?
The minimum investment is one unit.
You can buy units from any of the
Sponsors and other broker-dealers. The
Sponsors are listed later in this
prospectus. Some banks may offer units
for sale through special arrangements
with the Sponsors, although certain
legal restrictions may apply.
UNIT PRICE PER UNIT $996.48
(as of February 29, 2000)
Unit price is based on the net asset
value of the Fund plus the sales fee. An
amount equal to any principal cash, as
well as net accrued but undistributed
interest on the unit, is added to the
unit price. An independent evaluator
prices the bonds at 3:30 p.m. Eastern
time every business day. Unit price
changes every day with changes in the
prices of the bonds in the Fund.
10. HOW DO I SELL UNITS?
You may sell your units at any time to
any Sponsor or the Trustee for the net
asset value determined at the close of
business on the date of sale. You will
not pay any other fee when you sell your
units.
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
11. HOW ARE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?
The Fund pays income monthly.
In the opinion of bond counsel when each
bond was issued, interest on the bonds in
this Fund is generally 100% exempt from
regular federal income tax. Your income
may also be exempt from some Michigan
state and local personal income taxes if
you live in Michigan.
You will also receive principal payments
if bonds are sold or called or mature,
when the cash available is more than
$5.00 per unit. You will be subject to
tax on any gain realized by the Fund on
the disposition of bonds.
12. WHAT OTHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
REINVESTMENT
You will receive your income in cash
unless you choose to compound your income
by reinvesting at no sales fee in the
Municipal Fund Investment Accumulation
Program, Inc. This program is an open-end
mutual fund with a comparable investment
objective, but the bonds generally will
not be insured. Income from this program
will generally be subject to state and
local income taxes. FOR MORE COMPLETE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING
CHARGES AND FEES, ASK THE TRUSTEE FOR THE
PROGRAM'S PROSPECTUS. READ IT CAREFULLY
BEFORE YOU INVEST. THE TRUSTEE MUST
RECEIVE YOUR WRITTEN ELECTION TO REINVEST
AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE RECORD DAY OF
AN INCOME PAYMENT.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You may exchange units of this Fund for
units of certain other Defined Asset
Funds. You may also exchange into this
Fund from certain other funds. We charge

NEW JERSEY INSURED PORTFOLIO--RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
The Fund seeks interest income that is
exempt from regular federal income taxes
and some state and local taxes by
investing in a fixed portfolio
consisting primarily of insured, long
term municipal revenue bonds.
2. WHAT ARE MUNICIPAL REVENUE BONDS?
Municipal revenue bonds are bonds issued
by states, municipalities and public
authorities to finance the cost of
buying, building or improving various
projects intended to generate revenue,
such as airports, health care
facilities, housing and municipal
electric, water and sewer utilities.
Generally, payments on these bonds
depend solely on the revenues generated
by the projects, excise taxes or state
appropriations, and are not backed by
the government's taxing power.
3. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
- The Fund plans to hold to maturity 7
long-term tax-exempt municipal bonds
with an aggregate face amount of
$2,310,000.
- The Fund is a unit investment trust
which means that, unlike a mutual fund,
the Portfolio is not managed.
- The bonds are rated AAA or Aaa by
Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch.
- Many of the bonds can be called at a
premium declining over time to par
value. Some bonds may be called earlier
at par for extraordinary reasons.
- 100% of the bonds are insured by
insurance companies that guarantee
timely payments of principal and
interest on the bonds (but not Fund
units or the market value of the bonds
before they mature).
The Portfolio consists of municipal
bonds of the following types:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
/ / General Obligation 19%
<S> <C>
/ / Industrial Development
Revenue 22%
/ / Municipal Water/Sewer
Utilities 43%
/ / Refunded Bonds 16%
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
4. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?
YOU CAN LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE
FUND. THIS CAN HAPPEN FOR VARIOUS
REASONS, INCLUDING:
- Rising interest rates, an issuer's
worsening financial condition or a drop
in bond ratings can reduce the price of
your units.
- Because the Fund is concentrated in
municipal water/sewer utility bonds,
adverse developments in this sector may
affect the value of your units.
- Assuming no changes in interest rates,
when you sell your units, they will
generally be worth less than your cost
because your cost included a sales fee.
- The Fund will receive early returns of
principal if bonds are called or sold
before they mature. If this happens your
income will decline and you may not be
able to reinvest the money you receive
at as high a yield or as long a
maturity.
ALSO, THE PORTFOLIO IS CONCENTRATED IN
BONDS OF NEW JERSEY SO IT IS LESS
DIVERSIFIED THAN A NATIONAL FUND AND IS
SUBJECT TO RISKS PARTICULAR TO NEW
JERSEY WHICH ARE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED UNDER
STATE CONCENTRATION RISKS LATER IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

5. IS THIS FUND APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?
Yes, if you want federally tax-free
income. You will benefit from a
professionally selected and supervised
portfolio whose risk is reduced by
investing in insured bonds of several
different issuers.
The Fund is NOT appropriate for you if
you want a speculative investment that
changes to take advantage of market
movements, if you do not want a
tax-advantaged investment or if you
cannot tolerate any risk.

IN THE FOLLOWING CHART WE SHOW PAST PERFORMANCE
OF PRIOR PENNSYLVANIA PORTFOLIOS, WHICH HAD
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND TYPES OF
BONDS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THIS FUND. THESE
PRIOR SERIES DIFFERED IN THAT THEY CHARGED A
HIGHER SALES FEE. These prior Pennsylvania
Series were offered after 1987 and were
outstanding on March 31, 2000. OF COURSE, PAST
PERFORMANCE OF PRIOR SERIES IS NO GUARANTEE OF
FUTURE RESULTS OF THIS FUND.

8. IS THE FUND MANAGED?
Unlike a mutual fund, the Fund is not managed and
bonds are not sold because of market changes.
Rather, experienced Defined Asset Funds financial
analysts regularly review the bonds in the Fund.
The Fund may sell a bond if certain adverse
credit or other conditions exist.
</TABLE>

<TABLE>
<C> <S>
9. HOW DO I BUY UNITS?
The minimum investment is one unit.
You can buy units from any of the
Sponsors and other broker-dealers. The
Sponsors are listed later in this
prospectus. Some banks may offer units
for sale through special arrangements
with the Sponsors, although certain
legal restrictions may apply.
UNIT PRICE PER UNIT $984.63
(as of February 29, 2000)
Unit price is based on the net asset
value of the Fund plus the sales fee. An
amount equal to any principal cash, as
well as net accrued but undistributed
interest on the unit, is added to the
unit price. An independent evaluator
prices the bonds at 3:30 p.m. Eastern
time every business day. Unit price
changes every day with changes in the
prices of the bonds in the Fund.
10. HOW DO I SELL UNITS?
You may sell your units at any time to
any Sponsor or the Trustee for the net
asset value determined at the close of
business on the date of sale. You will
not pay any other fee when you sell your
units.
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
11. HOW ARE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?
The Fund pays income monthly.
In the opinion of bond counsel when each
bond was issued, interest on the bonds in
this Fund is generally 100% exempt from
regular federal income tax. Your income
may also be exempt from some Pennsylvania
state and local personal income taxes if
you live in Pennsylvania.
You will also receive principal payments
if bonds are sold or called or mature,
when the cash available is more than
$5.00 per unit. You will be subject to
tax on any gain realized by the Fund on
the disposition of bonds.
12. WHAT OTHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
REINVESTMENT
You will receive your income in cash
unless you choose to compound your income
by reinvesting at no sales fee in the
Municipal Fund Investment Accumulation
Program, Inc. This program is an open-end
mutual fund with a comparable investment
objective, but the bonds will generally
not be insured. Income from this program
will generally be subject to state and
local income taxes. FOR MORE COMPLETE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING
CHARGES AND FEES, ASK THE TRUSTEE FOR THE
PROGRAM'S PROSPECTUS. READ IT CAREFULLY
BEFORE YOU INVEST. THE TRUSTEE MUST
RECEIVE YOUR WRITTEN ELECTION TO REINVEST
AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE RECORD DAY OF
AN INCOME PAYMENT.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You may exchange units of this Fund for
units of certain other Defined Asset
Funds. You may also exchange into this
Fund from certain other funds. We charge
a reduced sales fee on exchanges.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT
MONTHLY INCOME
The Fund will pay you regular monthly income. Your monthly income may vary
because of:
- elimination of one or more bonds from the Fund's portfolio because of calls,
redemptions or sales;
- a change in the Fund's expenses; or
- the failure by a bond's issuer to pay interest.
Changes in interest rates generally will not affect your income because the
portfolio is fixed.
Along with your income, you will receive your share of any available bond
principal.
RETURN FIGURES
We cannot predict your actual return, which will vary with unit price, how long
you hold your investment and changes in the portfolio, interest income and
expenses.
ESTIMATED CURRENT RETURN equals the estimated annual cash to be received from
the bonds in the Fund less estimated annual Fund expenses, divided by the Unit
Price (including the maximum sales fee):
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Estimated Annual Estimated
Interest Income - Annual Expenses
-------------------------------------
Unit Price
</TABLE>
ESTIMATED LONG TERM RETURN is a measure of the estimated return over the
estimated life of the Fund. Unlike Estimated Current Return, Estimated Long Term
Return reflects maturities, discounts and premiums of the bonds in the Fund. It
is an average of the yields to maturity (or in certain cases, to an earlier call
date) of the individual bonds in the portfolio, adjusted to reflect the Fund's
maximum sales fee and estimated expenses. We calculate the average yield for the
portfolio by weighting each bond's yield by its market value and the time
remaining to the call or maturity date.
Yields on individual bonds depend on many factors including general conditions
of the bond markets, the size of a particular offering and the maturity and
quality rating of the particular issues. Yields can vary among bonds with
similar maturities, coupons and ratings.
These return quotations are designed to be comparative rather than predictive.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
You will receive:
- a monthly statement of income payments and any principal payments;
- a notice from the Trustee when new bonds are deposited in exchange or
substitution for bonds originally deposited;
- an annual report on Fund activity; and
- annual tax information. THIS WILL ALSO BE SENT TO THE IRS. YOU MUST REPORT THE
AMOUNT OF TAX-EXEMPT INTEREST RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR.
You may request:
- copies of bond evaluations to enable you to comply with federal and state tax
reporting requirements; and
- audited financial statements of the Fund.
You may inspect records of Fund transactions at the Trustee's office during
regular business hours.
23
<PAGE>
THE RISKS YOU FACE
INTEREST RATE RISK
Investing involves risks, including the risk that your investment will decline
in value if interest rates rise. Generally, bonds with longer maturities will
change in value more than bonds with shorter maturities. Bonds in the Fund are
more likely to be called when interest rates decline. This would result in early
returns of principal to you and may result in early termination of the Fund. Of
course, we cannot predict how interest rates may change.
CALL RISK
Many bonds can be prepaid or "called" by the issuer before their stated
maturity.
For example, some bonds may be required to be called pursuant to mandatory
sinking fund provisions.
Also, an issuer might call its bonds during periods of falling interest rates,
if the issuer's bonds have a coupon higher than current market rates.
An issuer might call its bonds in extraordinary cases, including if:
- it no longer needs the money for the original purpose;
- the project is condemned or sold;
- the project is destroyed and insurance proceeds are used to redeem the
bonds;
- any related credit support expires and is not replaced; or
- interest on the bonds become taxable.
If the bonds are called, your income will decline and you may not be able to
reinvest the money you receive at as high a yield or as long a maturity. An
early call at par of a premium bond will reduce your return.
REDUCED DIVERSIFICATION RISK
If many investors sell their units, the Fund will have to sell bonds. This could
reduce the diversification of your investment and increase your share of Fund
expenses.
LIQUIDITY RISK
You can always sell back your units, but we cannot assure you that a liquid
trading market will always exist for the bonds in the portfolio, especially
since current law may restrict the Fund from selling bonds to any Sponsor. The
bonds will generally trade in the over-the-counter market. The value of the
bonds, and of your investment, may be reduced if trading in bonds is limited or
absent.
CONCENTRATION RISK
When a certain type of bond makes up 25% or more of the portfolio, it is said to
be "concentrated" in that bond type, which makes the Portfolio less diversified.
Here is what you should know about the Pennsylvania Portfolio's concentration in
hospital and health care bonds.
- payment for these bonds depends on revenues from private third-party payors
and government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, which have
generally undertaken cost containment measures to limit payments to health
care providers;
- hospitals face increasing competition resulting from hospital mergers and
affiliations;
- hospitals need to reduce costs as HMOs increase market penetration and
hospital supply and drug companies raise prices;
- hospitals and health care providers are subject to various legal claims by
patients
24
<PAGE>
and others and are adversely affected by increasing costs of insurance; and
- many hospitals are aggressively buying physician practices and assuming risk
contracts to gain market share. If revenues do not increase accordingly,
this practice could reduce profits;
- Medicare is changing its reimbursement system for nursing homes. Many
nursing home providers are not sure how they will be treated. In many cases,
the providers may receive lower reimbursements and these would have to cut
expenses to maintain profitability; and
- most retirement/nursing home providers rely on entrance fees for operating
revenues. If people live longer than expected and turnover is lower than
budgeted, operating revenues would be adversely affected by less than
expected entrance fees.
Here is what you should know about the Michigan Portfolio's concentration in
general obligation bonds.
- general obligation bonds are backed by the issuer's pledge of its full
faith, credit and taxing power;
- but the taxing power of any government issuer may be limited by provisions
of the state constitution or laws as well as political considerations; and
- an issuer's credit can be negatively affected by various factors, including
population decline that erodes the tax base, natural disasters, decline in
industry, limited access to capital markets or heavy reliance on state or
federal aid.
Here is what you should know about the Florida and New York Portfolios'
concentrations in refunded bonds. Refunded bonds are typically:
- backed by direct obligations of the U.S. government; or
- in some cases, backed by obligations guaranteed by the U.S. government and
placed in escrow with an independent trustee;
- noncallable prior to maturity; but
- sometimes called for redemption prior to maturity.
Here is what you should know about the California and New Jersey Portfolios'
concentrations in municipal water and sewer revenue bonds. The payment of
interest and principal of these bonds depends on the rates the utilities may
charge, the demand for their services and the cost of operating their business
which includes the expense of complying with environmental and other energy and
licensing laws and regulations. The operating results of utilities are
particularly influenced by:
- increases in operating and construction costs; and
- unpredicability of future usage requirements.
Changes to the portfolio from bond redemptions, maturities and sales may affect
the Fund's concentrations over time.

From the late 1980s through the early 1990s, an economic recession eroded
California's revenue base. At the same time rapid population growth caused State
expenditures to exceed budget appropriations.
- As a result California experienced a period of sustained budget imbalance.
- Since that time the California economy has improved markedly and the extreme
budgetary pressures have begun to lessen.
25
<PAGE>
STATE GOVERNMENT
The 1999-2000 Budget Act allocated a State budget of approximately $63.7 Billion
and contains no tax increases or reductions. Despite this somewhat improved
state, California's budget is still subject to certain unforeseeable events. For
example:
- In December, 1994, Orange County and its investment pool filed for
bankruptcy. While a settlement has been reached, the full impact on the
State and Orange County remains unknown.
- California faces constant fluctuations in other expenses (including health
and welfare caseloads, property tax receipts, federal funding and natural
disaster relief) that will undoubtedly create new budgetary pressure and
reduce ability to pay their debts.
- California's general obligation bonds are currently rated AA3 by Moody's and
AA- by Standard & Poor's.
OTHER RISKS
Issuers' ability to make payments on bonds (and the remedies available to
bondholders) could also be adversely affected by the following constraints:
- Certain provisions of California's Constitution, laws and regulatory system
contain tax, spending and appropriations limits and prohibit certain new
taxes.
- Certain other California laws subject the users of bond proceeds to strict
rules and limits regarding revenue repayment.
- Bonds of healthcare institutions which are subject to the strict rules and
limits regarding reimbursement payments of California's Medi-Cal program for
health care services to welfare recipients and bonds secured by liens on
real property are two of the types of bonds that could be affected by these
provisions.
FLORIDA RISKS
GENERALLY
Florida's financial condition is affected by numerous national, economic, social
and environmental policies and conditions. For example:
- south Florida is heavily involved with foreign tourism, trade and investment
capital. As a result, the region is susceptible to international trade and
currency imbalances and economic problems in Central and South America;
- central and northern Florida are more vulnerable to agricultural problems,
such as crop failures or severe weather conditions, especially in the citrus
and sugar industries; and
- the state as a whole is also very dependent on tourism and construction.
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The state of Florida and its local governments are restricted in their ability
to raise taxes and incur debts. These restrictions limit their ability to
generate revenue, and so could hurt their ability to pay debts.
General obligations of the state are rated Aa2 by Moody's, AA+ by Standard &
Poor's and AA by Fitch.
MICHIGAN RISKS
Because Michigan's leading sectors are closely integrated with the manufacturing
of durable goods, its economy is more cyclical
26
<PAGE>
than non-industrial states and the nation as a whole. As a result:
- any substantial national economic downturn will likely hurt Michigan's
economy and its state and local governments;
- because the state is highly reliant on the auto industry, its economy could
be hurt by changes in that industry, expecially consolidation, plant
closings and labor disputes;
- while in the past the state's unemployment rate was higher than the national
average, for several years it has been near or below the national average.
Certain tax changes have reduced or changed the mix of tax revenues of the state
and local governments. In recent years:
- the state sales tax rate was raised;
- the income tax rate was lowered;
- an annual cap was imposed on property tax assessment increases; and
- property taxes used for school funding were cut, and now schools are paid
for by a combination of property taxes and general and restricted state
revenues.
In addition, certain state laws limit the overall amount of state revenues that
can be raised from taxes, which could affect State operations and restrict the
sharing of revenue with local governments. This, combined with the above tax
changes, could hurt the value of Michigan bonds in the portfolio or make it more
difficult for Michigan's local governments to pay their debt service.
The state's general obligation bonds are rated Aa1 by Moody's, AA+ by Standard &
Poor's and AA+ by Fitch.
NEW JERSEY RISKS
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Certain features of New Jersey law could affect the repayment of debt:
- the State of New Jersey and its agencies and public authorities issue
general obligation bonds, which are secured by the full faith and credit of
the state, backed by its taxing authority, without recourse to specific
sources of revenue, therefore, any liability to increase taxes could impair
the state's ability to repay debt; and
- the state is required by law to maintain a balanced budget, and state
spending for any given municipality or county cannot increase by more than
5% per year. This limit could make it harder for any particular county or
municipality to repay its debts.
In recent years the state budget's main expenditures have been
- elementary and secondary education, and
- state agencies and programs, including police and corrections facilities,
higher education, and environmental protection.
The state's general obligations are rated Aa1 by Moody's and AA+ by Standard &
Poor's.
NEW YORK RISKS
GENERALLY
For decades, New York's economy has trailed the rest of the nation. Both the
state and New York City have experienced long-term structural imbalances between
revenues and expenses, and have repeatedly relied substantially on non-recurring
27
<PAGE>
measures to achieve budget balance. The pressures that contribute to budgetary
problems at both the state and local level include:
- the high combined state and local tax burden;
- a decline in manufacturing jobs, leading to above-average unemployment;
- sensitivity to the financial services industry; and
- dependence on federal aid.
STATE GOVERNMENT
The State government frequently has difficulty approving budgets on time. Budget
gaps of $3 billion and $5 billion are projected for the next two years. The
State's general obligation bonds are rated A by Standard & Poor's and A2 by
Moody's. There is $37 billion of state-related debt outstanding.
NEW YORK CITY GOVERNMENT
Even though the City had budget surpluses each year from 1981, budget gaps of
nearly $2 billion are projected for the 2001, 2002, and 2003 fiscal years. New
York City faces fiscal pressures from:
- aging public facilities that need repair or replacement;
- welfare and medical costs;
- expiring labor contracts; and
- a high and increasing debt burden.
The City requires substantial state aid, and its fiscal strength depends heavily
on the securities industry. Its general obligation bonds are rated A- by
Standard & Poor's and A3 by Moody's. $31.2 billion of combined City, MAC and PBC
debt is outstanding, and the City proposes $25.3 billion of financing over
fiscal 1999-2003.
PENNSYLVANIA RISKS
GENERALLY
Pennsylvania and many of its municipalities (including Philadelphia) have
undergone an economic decline:
- coal, steel, railroads and other heavy industry historically associated with
the Commonwealth has given way to increased competition from foreign
producers.
- agriculture and related industries are still an important part of the
Commonwealth's economy.
- recently, however, service sector industries (trade, medical and health
services, education and financial services) have provided new sources of
growth.
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
Historically, both the Commonwealth and the City of Philadelphia have
experienced serious revenue shortfalls. At the same time, rising demands for
state and local programs and services (particularly medical assistance and cash
assistance programs) have led to increased spending.
- in recent years, both the Commonwealth and the City of Philadelphia have
tried to balance their budgets with a mix of tax increases and spending
cuts.
- Philadelphia has considered significant service cuts and privatization of
certain services which it has provided to date.
- In 1991, the Commonwealth created the Pennsylvania Inter-Governmental
Cooperation Authority ("PICA") which
28
<PAGE>
it authorized to issue debt to cover Philadelphia's budget shortfalls,
eliminate the City's projected deficits and fund its capital spending. PICA
issued approximately $1.76 billion of Special Revenue Bonds on
Philadelphia's behalf. Its power to issue bonds on Philadelphia's behalf
expired at the end of 1996; as of June 30, 1999, approximately $1.0 billion
in PICA Special Revenue Bonds were outstanding.
- Pennsylvania's general obligation bonds are currently rated Aa3 by Moody's
and AA- by Standard & Poor's. Philadelphia's general obligation bonds are
rated Baa2 by Moody's and BBB by Standard & Poor's. There can be no
assurance that these ratings will not be lowered.
BOND QUALITY RISK
A reduction in a bond's rating may decrease its value and, indirectly, the value
of your investment in the Fund.
INSURANCE RELATED RISK
The bonds are backed by insurance companies (as shown under Portfolios).
Insurance policies generally make payments only according to a bond's original
payment schedule and do not make early payments when a bond defaults or becomes
taxable. Although the federal government does not regulate the insurance
business, various state laws and federal initiatives and tax law changes could
significantly affect the insurance business. The claims-paying ability of the
insurance companies is generally rated A or better by Standard & Poor's or
another nationally recognized rating organization. The insurance company ratings
are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the rating agencies.
LITIGATION AND LEGISLATION RISKS
We do not know of any pending litigation that might have a material adverse
effect upon the Fund.
Future tax legislation could affect the value of the portfolio by:
- limiting real property taxes,
- reducing tax rates,
- imposing a flat or other form of tax, or
- exempting investment income from tax.
SELLING OR EXCHANGING UNITS
You can sell your units at any time for a price based on net asset value. Your
net asset value is calculated each business day by:
- ADDING the value of the bonds, net accrued interest, cash and any other Fund
assets;
- SUBTRACTING accrued but unpaid Fund expenses, unreimbursed Trustee advances,
cash held to buy back units or for distribution to investors and any other
Fund liabilities; and
- DIVIDING the result by the number of outstanding units.
Your net asset value when you sell may be more or less than your cost because of
sales fees, market movements and changes in the portfolio.
SPONSORS' SECONDARY MARKET
While we are not obligated to do so, we will buy back units at net asset value
without any other fee or charge. We may resell the units to other buyers or to
the Trustee. You should consult your financial professional for current market
prices to determine if other
29
<PAGE>
broker-dealers or banks are offering higher prices.
We have maintained the secondary market continuously for over 28 years, but we
could discontinue it without prior notice for any business reason.
SELLING UNITS TO THE TRUSTEE
Regardless of whether we maintain a secondary market, you can sell your units to
the Trustee at any time by sending the Trustee a letter (with any outstanding
certificates if you hold Unit certificates). You must properly endorse your
certificates (or execute a written transfer instrument with signatures
guaranteed by an eligible institution). Sometimes, additional documents are
needed such as a trust document, certificate of corporate authority, certificate
of death or appointment as executor, administrator or guardian.
Within seven days after your request and the necessary documents are received,
the Trustee will mail a check to you. Contact the Trustee for additional
information.
As long as we are maintaining a secondary market, the Trustee will sell your
units to us at a price based on net asset value. If there is no secondary
market, the Trustee may sell your units in the over-the-counter market for a
higher price, but it is not obligated to do so. In that case, you will receive
the net proceeds of the sale.
If the Fund does not have cash available to pay you for units you are selling,
the agent for the Sponsors will select bonds to be sold. Bonds will be selected
based on market and credit factors. These sales could be made at times when the
bonds would not otherwise be sold and may result in your receiving less than the
unit par value and also reduce the size and diversity of the Fund.
There could be a delay in paying you for your units:
- if the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
- if the SEC determines that trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted or that an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the
bonds not reasonably practicable; and
- for any other period permitted by SEC order.
EXCHANGE OPTION
You may exchange units of certain Defined Asset Funds for units of this Fund at
a maximum exchange fee of 1.90%. You may exchange units of this Fund for units
of certain other Defined Asset Funds at a reduced sales fee if your investment
goals change. To exchange units, you should talk to your financial professional
about what funds are exchangeable, suitable and currently available.
Normally, an exchange is taxable and you must recognize any gain or loss on the
exchange. However, the IRS may try to disallow a loss if the portfolios of the
two funds are not materially different; you should consult your own tax adviser.
We may amend or terminate this exchange option at any time without notice.
30
<PAGE>
HOW THE FUND WORKS
PRICING
The price of a unit includes interest accrued on the bonds, less expenses, from
the initial most recent Record Day up to, but not including, the settlement
date, which is usually three business days after the purchase date of the unit.
A portion of the price of a unit consists of cash so that the Trustee can
provide you with regular monthly income. When you sell your units you will
receive your share of this cash.
EVALUATIONS
An independent Evaluator values the bonds on each business day (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays as observed by the New York Stock
Exchange: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas).
Bond values are based on current bid or offer prices for the bonds or comparable
bonds. In the past, the difference between bid and offer prices of publicly
offered tax-exempt bonds has ranged from 0.5% of face amount on actively traded
issues to 3.5% on inactively traded issues; the difference has averaged between
1 and 2%.
INCOME
The Trustee credits interest to an Income Account and other receipts to a
Capital Account. The Trustee may establish a Reserve Account by withdrawing from
these accounts amounts it considers appropriate to pay any material liability.
These accounts do not bear interest.
EXPENSES
The Trustee is paid monthly. It also benefits when it holds cash for the Fund in
non-interest bearing accounts. The Trustee may also receive additional amounts:
- to reimburse the Trustee for the Fund's operating expenses;
- for extraordinary services and costs of indemnifying the Trustee and the
Sponsors;
- costs of actions taken to protect the Fund and other legal fees and
expenses;
- expenses for keeping the Fund's registration statement current; and
- Fund termination expenses and any governmental charges.
The Sponsors are currently reimbursed up to 55 CENTS per $1,000 face amount
annually for providing portfolio supervisory, bookkeeping and administrative
services and for any other expenses properly chargeable to the Fund. Legal,
typesetting, electronic filing and regulatory filing fees and expenses
associated with updating the Portfolio's registration statement yearly are also
now chargeable to the Portfolio. While this fee may exceed the amount of these
costs and expenses attributable to this Fund, the total of these fees for all
Series of Defined Asset Funds will not exceed the aggregate amount attributable
to all of these Series for any calendar year. The Fund also pays the Evaluator's
fees.
The Trustee's, Sponsors' and Evaluator's fees may be adjusted for inflation
without investors' approval.
31
<PAGE>
The Sponsors will pay advertising and selling expenses at no charge to the Fund.
If Fund expenses exceed initial estimates, the Fund will owe the excess. The
Trustee has a lien on Fund assets to secure reimbursement of Fund expenses and
may sell bonds if cash is not available.
PORTFOLIO CHANGES
The Sponsors and Trustee are not liable for any default or defect in a bond; if
a contract to buy any bond.
Unlike a mutual fund, the portfolio is designed to remain intact and we may keep
bonds in the portfolio even if their credit quality declines or other adverse
financial circumstances occur. However, we may sell a bond in certain cases if
we believe that certain adverse credit conditions exist or if a bond becomes
taxable.
If we maintain a secondary market in units but are unable to sell the units that
we buy in the secondary market, we will redeem units, which may affect the
composition of the portfolio. Units offered in the secondary market may not
represent the same face amount of bonds that they did originally.
We decide whether or not to offer units for sale that we acquire in the
secondary market after reviewing:
- diversity of the portfolio;
- size of the Fund relative to its original size;
- ratio of Fund expenses to income;
- current and long-term returns;
- degree to which units may be selling at a premium over par; and
- cost of maintaining a current prospectus.
FUND TERMINATION
The Fund will terminate following the stated maturity or sale of the last bond
in the portfolio. The Fund may also terminate earlier with the consent of
investors holding 51% of the units or if total assets of the Fund have fallen
below 40% of the face amount of bonds deposited. We will decide whether to
terminate the Fund early based on the same factors used in deciding whether or
not to offer units in the secondary market.
When the Fund is about to terminate you will receive a notice, and you will be
unable to sell your units after that time. On or shortly before termination, we
will sell any remaining bonds, and you will receive your final distribution. Any
bond that cannot be sold at a reasonable price may continue to be held by the
Trustee in a liquidating trust pending its final sale.
You will pay your share of the expenses associated with termination, including
brokerage costs in selling bonds. This may reduce the amount you receive as your
final distribution.
CERTIFICATES
Certificates for units are issued on request. You may transfer certificates by
complying with the requirements for redeeming certificates, described above. You
can replace lost or mutilated certificates by delivering satisfactory indemnity
and paying the associated costs.
TRUST INDENTURE
The Fund is a "unit investment trust" governed by a Trust Indenture, a contract
32
<PAGE>
among the Sponsors, the Trustee and the Evaluator, which sets forth their duties
and obligations and your rights. A copy of the Indenture is available to you on
request to the Trustee. The following summarizes certain provisions of the
Indenture.
The Sponsors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture without your consent:
- to cure ambiguities;
- to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;
- to make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or
- to make other changes determined not to be materially adverse to your best
interest (as determined by the Sponsors).
Investors holding 51% of the units may amend the Indenture. Every investor must
consent to any amendment that changes the 51% requirement. No amendment may
reduce your interest in the Fund without your written consent.
The Trustee may resign by notifying the Sponsors. The Sponsors may remove the
Trustee without your consent if:
- it fails to perform its duties and the Sponsors determine that its
replacement is in your best interest; or
- it becomes incapable of acting or bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by
public authorities.
Investors holding 51% of the units may remove the Trustee. The Evaluator may
resign or be removed by the Sponsors and the Trustee without the consent of
investors. The resignation or removal of either becomes effective when a
successor accepts appointment. The Sponsors will try to appoint a successor
promptly; however, if no successor has accepted within 30 days after notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee or Evaluator may petition a court to appoint
a successor.
Any Sponsor may resign as long as one Sponsor with a net worth of $2 million
remains and agrees to the resignation. The remaining Sponsors and the Trustee
may appoint a replacement. If there is only one Sponsor and it fails to perform
its duties or becomes bankrupt the Trustee may:
- remove it and appoint a replacement Sponsor;
- liquidate the Fund; or
- continue to act as Trustee without a Sponsor.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acts as agent for the
Sponsors.
The Trust Indenture contains customary provisions limiting the liability of the
Trustee, the Sponsors and the Evaluator.
LEGAL OPINION

Plaza--6th Floor, New York, New York 10004, is the Trustee. It is supervised by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and New York State banking authorities.
UNDERWRITERS' AND SPONSORS' PROFITS
Underwriters receive sales charges when they sell units. The Sponsors also
realized a profit or loss on the initial date of deposit of the bonds. Any cash
made available by you to the Sponsors before the settlement date for those units
may be used in the Sponsors' businesses to the extent permitted by federal law
and may benefit the Sponsors.
A Sponsor or Underwriter may realize profits or sustain losses on bonds in the
Fund which were acquired from underwriting syndicates of which it was a member.
In maintaining a secondary market, the Sponsors will also realize profits or
sustain losses in the amount of any difference between the prices at which they
buy units and the prices at which they resell or redeem them.
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
The Sponsors do not intend to qualify units for sale in any foreign countries.
This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell units in any country where
units cannot lawfully be sold.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Fund and the Agent for the Sponsors have each adopted a code of ethics
requiring reporting of personal securities transactions by its employees with
access to information on Fund transactions. Subject to certain conditions, the
codes permit
34
<PAGE>
employees to invest in Fund securities for their own accounts. The codes are
designed to prevent fraud, deception and misconduct against the Fund and to
provide reasonable standards of conduct. These codes are on file with the
Commission and you may obtain a copy by contacting the Commission at the address
listed on the back cover of this prospectus.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many computer systems were designed in such a way that they may be unable to
distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900 (commonly known as the "Year
2000 Problem"). To date we are not aware of any major operational difficulties
resulting from the computer system changes necessary to prepare for the Year
2000. However, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 Problem will not
adversely affect the issuers of the bonds contained in the Portfolio. We cannot
predict whether any impact will be material to the Fund as a whole.
TAXES
The following summary describes some of the important income tax consequences of
holding units. It assumes that you are not a dealer, financial institution,
insurance company or other investor with special circumstances or subject to
special rules. You should consult your own tax adviser about your particular
circumstances.
At the date of issue of each bond, counsel for the issuer delivered an opinion
to the effect that interest on the bond is exempt from regular federal income
tax. However, interest may be subject to state and local taxes and may be taken
into account in determining your preference items for alternative minimum tax
purposes. Neither we nor our counsel have reviewed the issuance of the bonds,
related proceedings or the basis for the opinions of counsel for the issuers. We
cannot assure you that the issuers (or other users of bond proceeds) have
complied or will comply with any requirements necessary for a bond to be
tax-exempt. If any of the bonds were determined not to be tax-exempt, you could
be required to pay income tax for current and prior years, and if the Fund were
to sell the bond, it might have to sell it at a substantial discount.
In the opinion of our counsel, under existing law:
GENERAL TREATMENT OF THE FUND AND YOUR INVESTMENT
The Fund will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and
you will be considered to own directly your share of each bond in the Fund.
GAIN OR LOSS UPON DISPOSITION
When all or part of your share of a bond is disposed of (for example, when the
Fund sells, exchanges or redeems a bond or when you sell or exchange your
units), you will generally recognize capital gain or loss. Your gain, however,
will generally be ordinary income to the extent of any accrued "market
discount". Generally you will have market discount to the extent that your basis
in a bond when you purchase a unit is less than its stated redemption price at
maturity (or, if it is an original issue discount bond, the issue price
increased by
35
<PAGE>
original issue discount that has accrued on the bond before your purchase). You
should consult your tax adviser in this regard.
If your net long-term capital gains exceed your net short-term capital losses,
the excess may be subject to tax at a lower rate than ordinary income. Any
capital gain from the Fund will be long-term if you are considered to have held
your investment on each bond for more than one year and short-term otherwise.
Because the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations, you may
not be able to deduct all of your capital losses.
YOUR BASIS IN THE BONDS
Your aggregate basis in the bonds will be equal to the cost of your units,
including any sales charges you pay, adjusted to reflect any accruals of
"original issue discount," "acquisition premium" and "bond premium". You should
consult your tax adviser in this regard.
EXPENSES
If you are not a corporate investor, you will not be entitled to a deduction for
your share of fees and expenses of the Fund. Also, if you borrowed money in
order to purchase or carry your units, you will not be able to deduct the
interest on this borrowing for federal income tax purposes. The IRS may treat
your purchase of units as made with borrowed money even if the money is not
directly traceable to the purchase of units.
NEW YORK TAXES
Under the income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Fund will not
be taxed as a corporation. If you are a New York taxpayer, your income from the
Fund will not be tax-exempt in New York except to the extent that the income is
earned on bonds that are tax-exempt for New York purposes. Depending on where
you live, your income from the Fund may be subject to state and local taxation.
You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.
CALIFORNIA TAXES
In the opinion of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, Los Angeles, California, special
counsel on California tax matters:
Under the income tax laws of the State of California, the Trust will not be
taxed as a corporation and you will be considered to own directly your share of
each bond of the Trust. If you are a California taxpayer, your share of the
income from the bonds of the Trust will not be tax-exempt in California except
for California personal income tax purposes and only to the extent that the
income is earned on bonds that are exempt for such purposes. If you are a
California taxpayer and all or part of your share of a bond is disposed of (for
example, when a bond is sold, exchanged or redeemed at maturity or you sell or
exchange your units), you will recognize gain or loss for California tax
purposes. Depending on where you live, your income from the Trust may be subject
to state and local taxation. You should consult your tax advisor in this regard.
FLORIDA TAXES
In the opinion of Greenberg, Traurig, P.A., Miami, Florida, special counsel on
Florida tax matters:
36
<PAGE>
Under the income tax laws of the State of Florida, the Florida Trust will not be
taxed as a corporation. Florida imposes an income tax on corporations but does
not impose a personal income tax. Accordingly, if you are an individual taxpayer
your income from the Trust will not be subject to tax in Florida. However, if
you are an entity that is normally taxed as a corporation, your income from the
fund will not be exempt from tax in Florida and special rules for taxation apply
depending on the type of entity. You should consult your tax adviser in this
regard.
Florida also imposes a tax on intangible personal property, such as stocks,
bonds, notes and units in trusts. The tax is imposed on Florida taxpayers as of
January 1st of each year. Florida exempts certain types of bonds and debt
obligations from this tax. Your units will be exempt from the intangible
personal property tax as long as at least 90% of the Florida Trust is invested
exclusively in bonds and other debt obligations that are tax-exempt for Florida
purposes.
MICHIGAN TAXES
In the opinion of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, P.L.C. Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan, special counsel on Michigan tax matters:
Under the income tax laws of the State of Michigan, the Fund will not be taxed
as a corporation. If you are a Michigan taxpayer, your interest income from the
Fund will not be tax-exempt in Michigan except to the extent that the interest
is earned on bonds that are tax-exempt for Michigan purposes. Capital gain
distributions and capital gain or loss on your Fund units themselves will be
subject to Michigan income tax. Depending on where you live, your income from
the Fund may be subject to state and local taxation. You should consult your tax
adviser in this regard.
NEW JERSEY TAXES
In the opinion of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
special counsel on New Jersey tax matters:
The Fund will not be taxed as a corporation under the current income tax laws of
the State of New Jersey. Your income from the Fund may be subject to taxation
depending on where you live. If you are a New Jersey taxpayer your income from
the Fund (including gains on sales of bonds by the Fund) and gains on sales of
units by you will be tax-exempt to the extent that income and gains are earned
on bonds that are tax-exempt for New Jersey purposes. You should consult your
tax adviser as to the consequences to you with respect to any investment you
make in the Fund.
PENNSYLVANIA TAXES
In the opinion of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
special counsel on Pennsylvania tax matters:
The Pennsylvania Trust will not be taxed as a corporation under the current
income tax laws of Pennsylvania. Your income from the Trust may be subject to
taxation depending on where you live. If you are a Pennsylvania taxpayer your
interest income from the Trust will be tax exempt to the extent that income is
earned on bonds that are tax
37
<PAGE>
exempt for Pennsylvania purposes. However, gains on the sale of bonds by the
Trust or on the sale of your Units will be subject to Pennsylvania income tax.
If you are a Philadelphia resident you may be subject to the Philadelphia school
district tax on any gains realized from the sale of bonds by the Trust or the
sale of Units by you to the extent either the bonds or Units have been held for
six months or less. You should consult your tax adviser as to the consequences
to you with respect to any investment you make in the Trust.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
You can receive at no cost supplemental information about the Fund by calling
the Trustee. The supplemental information includes more detailed risk disclosure
about the types of bonds that may be in the Fund's portfolios, general risk
disclosure concerning any insurance securing certain bonds, and general
information about the structure and operation of the Fund. The supplemental
information is also available from the SEC.

MUNICIPAL INVESTMENT TRUST FUND, MULTISTATE SERIES - 57
(CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, MICHIGAN, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK AND
PENNSYLVANIA TRUSTS), DEFINED ASSET FUNDS
NOTES TO PORTFOLIOS
As of February 29, 2000
(1) The ratings of the bonds are by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, or by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. if followed by "(m)", or by Fitch
Investors Service, Inc. if followed by "(f)"; "NR" indicates that this
bond is not currently rated by any of the above-mentioned rating
services. These ratings have been furnished by the Evaluator but not
confirmed with the rating agencies.
(2) See Notes to Financial Statements.
(3) Optional redemption provisions, which may be exercised in whole or in
part, are initially at prices of par plus a premium, then subsequently
at prices declining to par. Certain securities may provide for
redemption at par prior or in addition to any optional or mandatory
redemption dates or maturity, for example, through the operation of a
maintenance and replacement fund, if proceeds are not able to be used
as contemplated, the project is condemned or sold or the project is
destroyed and insurance proceeds are used to redeem the securities.
Many of the securities are also subject to mandatory sinking fund
redemption commencing on dates which may be prior to the date on which
securities may be optionally redeemed. Sinking fund redemptions are at
par and redeem only part of the issue. Some of the securities have
mandatory sinking funds which contain optional provisions permitting
the issuer to increase the principal amount of securities called on a
mandatory redemption date. The sinking fund redemptions with optional
provisions may, and optional refunding redemptions generally will,
occur at times when the redeemed securities have an offering side
evaluation which represents a premium over par. To the extent that the
securities were acquired at a price higher than the redemption price,
this will represent a loss of capital when compared with the Public
Offering Price of the Units when acquired. Distributions will
generally be reduced by the amount of the income which would otherwise
have been paid with respect to redeemed securities and there will be
distributed to Holders any principal amount and premium received on
such redemption after satisfying any redemption requests for Units
received by the Fund. The estimated current return may be affected by
redemptions.
(4) Insured by AAA-rated insurance companies that guarantee timely
payments of principal and interest on the bonds (but not Fund units or
the market value of the bonds before they mature).
(5) Bonds with an aggregate face amount of $320,000 of the California
Trust, $950,000 of the Florida Trust, $360,000 of the New Jersey
Trust, $1,200,000 of the New York Trust and $690,000 of the
Pennsylvania Trust have been pre-refunded and are expected to be
called for redemption on the optional redemption provision dates
shown.
