AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
MARCH 31, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________
May 28, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide an overview of economic conditions during AFD
Exchange Reserves' semi-annual reporting period ended March 31, 1999. AFD
Exchange Reserves serves as the money market fund exchange vehicle for the
Alliance Mutual Funds. The Fund's investment objective is to provide maximum
current income consistent with safety of principal and liquidity.
The Fund's net assets at the end of March 31, 1999 totaled approximately $475.3
million. The Fund remains invested in high quality money market securities
which include marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government and its agencies, certificates of deposits, and commercial paper. As
of March 31, 1999, the average weighted maturity of the portfolio was 29 days.
ECONOMIC COMMENTARY
The Federal Reserve kept rates steady during the reporting period ended March
31, 1999, following its 75 basis point reduction in the Fed Funds Rate to 4.75%
in late 1998.
The U.S. economy continued its rapid expansion in the first quarter of 1999,
following a 3.9% growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in 1998. Strong
consumer and business spending in the first quarter offset further
deterioration in U.S. trade performance, allowing the U.S. economy to grow (by
our estimates, in annualized terms) 3.8% during the period under review.
Although we believe that consumer and business spending will remain strong, we
expect a mild deceleration in the second half of 1999. We anticipate that trade
will continue to subtract from growth, and that the U.S. current account
deficit will expand from 1998's negative $233 billion to negative $300 billion
in 1999. We also expect a growth of 3.7% in the GDP for 1999, and project GDP
growth of 3.0% in 2000, as we believe that late 1999's more sustainable pace
will continue through 2000.
Inflation was subdued in the first quarter. The total consumer price index
(CPI) rose 1.7% from March of 1998 to March of 1999, while the underlying CPI
(excluding food and energy) rose 2.2%. We expect that the current rally
underway in oil prices--from a 12-year low of $9.55 per barrel (Brent Crude) to
$15.00 per barrel--will push CPI inflation up to the 2.0% to 2.5% range by
year-end. U.S. wage growth has decelerated from 4.3% year-on-year in the first
quarter of 1998 to 3.8% in the first quarter of 1999, relieving concerns that
the lowest unemployment rates since the 1960s could spark a wage/price spiral.
Finally, modest wage growth, combined with strong productivity growth,
restrained unit labor costs to a 1.9% growth rate in 1998, consistent with
stable underlying inflation in the 2.0% to 2.5% range.
The global economic and financial crisis appears to have reached bottom last
fall, although Brazil's January float provided a significant (though weaker
than feared) aftershock. Signs of economic growth in Asia and improved
sentiment in Latin America are encouraging; however, we believe that there
remain significant downside risks of expanded turmoil in Latin America and/or
renewed contagion in Asia.
Indications of global economic stabilization have created concerns that the
Federal Reserve will raise rates in the near future. Recently, members of the
Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have questioned the appropriateness of the
current low level of interest rates. We believe, however, that the Federal
Reserve will hold rates steady this year in light of the continued (though
diminishing) risk of further financial turmoil, and the minimal risk to
excellent U.S. inflation performance.
We appreciate your continued interest in AFD Exchange Reserves.
Sincerely,
John D. Carifa
Chairman and President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED) AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AFD Exchange Reserves (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end investment company. The Fund's
investment objective is to provide maximum current income to the extent
consistent with safety of principal and liquidity. The Fund offers Class A,
Class B, Class C and Advisor Class shares. All four classes of shares have
identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that each
class bears its own distribution and transfer agency expenses and has exclusive
voting rights with respect to its distribution plan.
Class A shares are sold for cash without an initial sales charge at the time of
purchase. On cash purchases of $1,000,000 or more, however, a contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") equal to 1% of the lesser of net asset value at
the time of redemption or original cost if redeemed within one year may be
charged. Class A shares may be exchanged for Class A shares of other Alliance
Mutual Funds, subject, in the case of Class A shares of the Fund that were
purchased for cash, to any applicable initial sales charge at the time of
exchange. Class A shares of the Fund also are offered in exchange for Class A
shares of other Alliance Mutual Funds without any sales charge at the time of
purchase, but on Class A shares that were received in exchange for Alliance
Mutual Fund Class A shares that were not subject to an initial sales charge
when originally purchased for cash because the purchase was of $1,000,000 or
more, a 1% CDSC may be assessed if shares of the Fund are redeemed within one
year of the Alliance Mutual Fund Class A shares originally purchased for cash.
Class B shares are sold for cash without an initial sales charge. However, a
CDSC is charged if shares are redeemed within four years after purchase. The
CDSC charge declines from 4% to zero depending on the period of time the shares
are held. Class B shares purchased for cash will automatically convert to Class
A shares after eight years. Class B shares may be exchanged for Class B shares
of other Alliance Mutual Funds. Class B shares also are offered in exchange for
Class B shares of other Alliance Mutual Funds without an initial sales charge.
However, a CDSC may be charged if shares are redeemed within a certain number
of years of the original purchase of Alliance Mutual Fund Class B shares. When
redemption occurs, the applicable CDSC schedule is that which applied to the
Alliance Mutual Fund Class B shares originally purchased for cash at the time
of their purchase.
Class C shares are sold for cash or in exchange for Class C shares of another
Alliance Mutual Fund without an initial sales charge at the time of purchase.
Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% on redemptions made within the first
year after purchase. Class C shares do not convert to any other class of shares
of the Fund. Class C shares may be exchanged for Class C shares of other
Alliance Mutual Funds.
Advisor Class shares are sold for cash or in exchange for Advisor Class shares
of another Alliance Mutual Fund without an initial sales charge or CDSC and are
not subject to ongoing distribution expenses. Advisor Class shares are offered
solely to investors participating in fee-based programs and to certain
retirement plan accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund.
1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Fund invests are traded primarily in the
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized
on a constant basis to maturity.
2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Organization expenses have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis through March, 1999.
3. 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
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.
6
AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________
4. DIVIDENDS
The Fund declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such dividends in
additional shares at net asset value. Net realized capital gains on
investments, if any, are expected to be distributed near year end.
5. INCOME AND EXPENSES
All income earned and expenses incurred by the Fund are borne on a pro-rata
basis by each settled class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in
the Fund represented by the shares of such class, except that the Fund's Class
B and Class C shares bear higher distribution and transfer agent fees than
Class A shares and the Advisory Class shares have no distribution fees.
6. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued daily. Investment transactions are recorded on the
date securities are purchased or sold. Investment gains and losses are
determined on the identified cost basis. 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 are sufficient to
cover the value of the repurchase agreements.
NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P. an advisory fee at
the annual rate of .25% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net assets;
.24% on the next $.25 billion; .23% on the next $.25 billion; .22% on the next
$.25 billion; .21% on the next $1 billion; and .20% in excess of $3 billion. In
addition to the advisory fee, the Fund also reimburses the Adviser for certain
legal and accounting services provided to the Fund by the Adviser. For the six
months ended March 31, 1999, such reimbursements totaled $49,342.
Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Adviser, serves as the Distributor of the Fund's shares. The Distributor
received $204,048, $529,744, and $34,481 in contingent deferred sales charges
imposed upon redemption by shareholders of Class A, Class B, and Class C
shares, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 1999.
The Fund compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing personnel and
facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Fund. Such compensation
amounted to $7,073 for the six months ended March 31, 1999.
NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Class A,
Class B and Class C. Under the Agreement, the Fund pays a distribution fee to
the Distributor at an annual rate of up to .50% of the Fund's average daily net
assets attributable to Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets
attributable to Class B shares and .75% of the average daily net assets
attributable to Class C shares. There is no distribution fee on the Advisor
Class shares. Such fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. The Agreement
provides that the Distributor will use such payments in their entirety for
distribution assistance and promotional activities. The Agreement also provides
that the Adviser may use its own resources to finance the distribution of the
Fund's shares.
NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At March 31, 1999, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At September 30, 1998,
the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $1,620, which expires in the year
2003.
