AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
MARCH 31, 2000


LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS                                    AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

May 9, 2000

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide an overview of economic conditions during AFD
Exchange Reserves' semi-annual reporting period ended March 31, 2000. AFD
Exchange Reserves (the "Fund") 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 liquidity.

The Fund's net assets as of March 31, 2000 totaled approximately $1,034.6
million, and the average weighted maturity of the Fund's portfolio was 16 days.

ECONOMIC COMMENTARY
The U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") raised the Fed Funds target 25-basis points to
6.00% on March 21, 2000. This was the fifth policy adjustment since June 1999.
The U.S. economy continued its rapid expansion with a 5.4% gross domestic
product ("GDP") growth in the first quarter of 2000, following a 6.5% growth in
the second half of 1999. Unsustainably strong consumer and business spending
continues to offset deterioration in U.S. trade performance and slow inventory
accumulation. We expect the 5.0% GDP growth rate in 2000 to slow down to a 4.3%
rate in 2001. Overall, the U.S. economy remains healthy but an excessively
strong demand for labor, driving the unemployment rate down to 3.9%, has
created the risk of accelerating wage inflation. In addition, the current
account deficit, which will approach a -5.0% rate of GDP in 2000, renders the
U.S. economy increasingly susceptible to global shocks.

Headline inflation edged up in the first quarter due to the recovery of energy
prices. The total consumer product index ("CPI") rose 3.2% year-on-year versus
a 2.6% in the fourth quarter. Underlying ex-food and energy CPI rose 2.1%
versus a 2.0% in the fourth quarter. Although oil prices have receded from
their early March highs, Brent Crude, at $26.00 per barrel remains 60% above
the year-ago level. Therefore, oil will continue to impact U.S. inflation
performance in the upcoming quarters. No pass-through of the recent
acceleration in wage growth, to a 3.8% year-on-year in April, has been observed
in inflation data. The potential for this pass-through remains a key concern
motivating the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.

We expect further Fed Funds increases led by slightly higher bond yields in the
next six months as the Federal Reserve and the bond market respond to the need
for additional restraint on U.S. economic growth.

We appreciate your continued interest in AFD Exchange Reserves.

Sincerely,


John D. Carifa

_______________________________________________________________________________

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. 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.

3. DIVIDENDS
The Fund declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such dividends in
additional shares at net asset

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)                 AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES

value. Net realized capital gains on investments, if any, are expected to be
distributed near year end.

4. 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.

5. 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
