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

1. Summary of Accounting Policies

Delafield Fund, Inc. is a no-load,  diversified,  open-end management investment
company  registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940.  Its  financial
statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles for investment companies as follows:


      a) Valuation of Securities -
 
     Securities traded on a national  securities exchange or admitted to trading
     on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. Automated Quotations
     National  List are  valued  at the last  reported  sales  price on the last
     business  day of the  fiscal  period.  Common  stocks for which no sale was
     reported on that date and  over-the-counter  securities,  are valued at the
     mean  between  the  last  reported  bid and  asked  prices.  United  States
     Government obligations and other debt instruments having sixty days or less
     remaining  until maturity are stated at amortized  cost.  Debt  instruments
     having a  remaining  maturity of more than sixty days will be valued at the
     highest bid price  obtained from a dealer  maintaining  an active market in
     that  security or on the basis of prices  obtained  from a pricing  service
     approved  as  reliable  by the Board of  Directors.  All  other  investment
     assets,  including  restricted and not readily marketable  securities,  are
     valued  in such  manner  as the  Board of  Directors  in good  faith  deems
     appropriate to reflect their fair market value.

     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 taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for
     federal income tax is required.

     c) General -
 
     Securities  transactions  are  recorded on the trade date  basis.  Interest
     income is  accrued  as  earned  and  dividend  income  is  recorded  on the
     ex-dividend  date.  Realized gains and losses from securities  transactions
     are  recorded on the  identified  cost basis.  Dividends  and capital  gain
     distributions to shareholders  are recorded on the ex-dividend  date. It is
     the Fund's policy to take  possession  of  securities  as collateral  under
     repurchase  agreements  and to determine on a daily basis that the value of
     such securities plus accrued  interest are sufficient to cover the value of
     the repurchase agreements.

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") equal to .80% 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

an annual fee of .20% of the Fund's  average  daily net  assets.

Pursuant to a Distribution  Plan adopted under  Securities  Exchange  Commission
Rule 12b-1, the Fund and Reich & Tang  Distributors  L.P. (the Distributor) have
entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For
its services under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement,  the Distributor recives
from the Fund an annual fee equal to .25% of the Fund's average daily net asets.
There were no additional expenses borne by the Fund pursuant to the Distribution
Plan.
