ARIZONA PORTFOLIO--RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
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 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 $2,500,000.
- The Fund is a unit investment trust which means that, unlike a mutual fund,
the Portfolio is not managed.
- When the bonds were initially deposited they were rated A or better by
Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch. THE QUALITY OF THE BONDS MAY CURRENTLY
BE LOWER.
- 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.
- 68% 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>

/ /General Obligation 24%
/ /Hospitals/Health Care 20%
/ /Municipal Water/Sewer Utilities 18%
/ /Refunded Bonds 22%
/ /Municipal Electric Utilities 16%
</TABLE>
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.
- 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 ARIZONA SO IT IS LESS
DIVERSIFIED THAN A NATIONAL FUND AND IS SUBJECT TO RISKS PARTICULAR TO
ARIZONA WHICH ARE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED UNDER STATE CONCENTRATION RISKS LATER IN
THIS PROSPECTUS.

<PAGE>
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 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?

adverse credit or other conditions exist.

<PAGE>
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.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
UNIT PRICE PER UNIT $1,000.81
(as of June 30, 2000)
</TABLE>
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.
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 Arizona state and local personal
income taxes if you live in Arizona.
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?

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

CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE INSURED PORTFOLIO--RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
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, intermediate term municipal revenue bonds
with an estimated average life of about 8 years.
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 8 intermediate-term tax-exempt municipal
bonds with an aggregate face amount of $3,265,000.
- 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).

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 lease rental and municipal water/sewer
utility bonds, adverse developments in these sectors 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

OHIO INSURED PORTFOLIO--RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
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 $2,740,000.
- 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>
<CAPTION>
APPROXIMATE
PORTFOLIO
PERCENTAGE
<S> <C>
/ /General Obligation 16%
/ /Hospitals/Health Care 35%
/ /Industrial Development Revenue 33%
/ /Refunded Bonds 16%
</TABLE>
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 hospital/ health care and industrial
development revenue bonds, adverse developments in these sectors 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 OHIO SO IT IS LESS
DIVERSIFIED THAN A NATIONAL FUND AND IS SUBJECT TO RISKS PARTICULAR TO OHIO
WHICH ARE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED UNDER STATE CONCENTRATION RISKS LATER IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.
12
<PAGE>
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.

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.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
UNIT PRICE PER UNIT $992.75
(as of June 30, 2000)
</TABLE>
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.
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 Virginia state and local personal
income taxes if you live in Virginia.
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. 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.

<PAGE>
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 New York, Ohio and Virginia Portfolios'
concentrations 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;
24
<PAGE>
- 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 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 California Portfolio's concentration 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.
Here is what you should know about the California Portfolio's concentration in
lease rental bonds. Lease rental bonds are generally issued by governmental
financing authorities that cannot assess a tax to cover the cost of equipment or
construction of buildings that will be used by a state or local government. The
risks associated with these bonds include:
- the failure of the government to appropriate funds for the leasing rental
payments to service the bonds; and
- rental obligations, and therefore payments, may terminate in the event of
damages to or destruction or condemnation of the of the equipment or
building.
Here is what you should know about the Ohio and Texas Portfolios' concentrations
in industrial development revenue bonds (IDRs). IDRs are issued to finance
various privately operated projects such as pollution control and manufacturing
facilities. Payment for these bonds depends on:
- creditworthiness of the corporate operator of the project being financed;
- economic factors relating to the particular industry; and,
- in some cases, creditworthiness of an affiliated or third-party guarantor.
Changes to the portfolio from bond redemptions, maturities and sales may affect
the Fund's concentrations over time.
25
<PAGE>
STATE CONCENTRATION RISK
ARIZONA RISKS
GENERALLY
Arizona's economy is affected by several major factors, including:
- cycles in key industries like real estate, construction and tourism;
- the performance of other economic sectors such as manufacturing, mining,
services and the military;
- employment patterns of major employers within the state;
- consolidation and change in the healthcare market; and
- migration into the state, which causes higher than average population
growth.
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Most of the bonds in the Arizona Trust are not issued by the State of Arizona
itself; however, the financial condition of the state government could hurt the
value of the bonds. Also, both the State and its subdivisions are subject to
legal restrictions that could impair their ability to make payments on bonds,
including:
- certain state laws limit taxation and bond indebtedness;
- other state laws make it difficult to increase taxes, such as by requiring a
two-thirds vote of the state legislature for any increase; and
- Arizona's regulated utilities are limited in their ability to secure rate
increases. Any failure to secure a necessary rate increase could adversely
affect a utility's ability to service its debts.
Arizona voters have tried from time to time to further limit the amount of tax
increases that can be levied without voter approval.
CALIFORNIA RISK
GENERALLY
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.
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.
26
<PAGE>
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.
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
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
over $2 billion are projected for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 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 A2 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. New York City currently expects to reach its constitutional
limits on debt issuance in Fiscal 2003.
OHIO RISKS
GENERALLY
Overall, Ohio's economy is more cyclical than non-industrial states and the
nation as a whole:
- manufacturing is an important part of Ohio's economy.
- agriculture and related industries are also very important.
27
<PAGE>
- recent employment growth has been in non-manufacturing areas.
STATE GOVERNMENT
The Ohio general revenue fund for the current two-year period calls for
expenditures of over $39.8 billion:
- because general fund receipts and payments do not match exactly, temporary
cash-flow deficiencies occur throughout the year. Ohio law permits the state
government to manage this problem by permitting the adjustment of payment
schedules and the use of the total operating fund.
- Ohio's general obligation bonds are currently rated Aa1 by Moody's; AA+ by
Standard & Poor's (except for the State's highway bonds which Standard &
Poor's rates AAA). Fitch rates Ohio's general obligation bonds and its
highway bonds AA+. Other bonds issued by other State agencies may have lower
ratings. Any of these ratings may be changed.
- Ohio voters have authorized the State to incur debt to which taxes or
excises are pledged for payment.
EDUCATION FINANCING
In May, 2000, the Ohio Supreme Court concluded, as it had in 1997, that major
aspects of the State's system of school funding are unconstitutional. The Court
set as general base threshold requirements that every school district have
enough funds to operate, an ample number of teachers, sound and safe buildings,
and equipment sufficient for all students to be afforded an educational
opportunity. The Court maintained continuing jurisdiction and has scheduled a
June, 2001 further review of the State's responses to its ruling. With respect
to funding sources, the Court repeated its 1997 conclusion that property taxes
no longer may be the primary means of school funding in Ohio, noting that recent
efforts to reduce the historic reliance have been laudable but in the Court's
view insufficient. It is not possible at this time to state what further actions
may be taken by the State to effect compliance, or what effect those actions may
have on the State's overall financial condition. In response to the ongoing
litigation, the General Assembly has significantly increased State funding for
public schools.
TEXAS RISKS
GENERALLY
Although the Texas economy has performed well in recent years, it still faces a
number of challenges:
- although oil prices are increasing, the low prices for oil in the recent
past and declining production in Texas have adversely affected Texas'
economy and reduced tax revenues. Some local governments and school
districts have experienced such significant reductions in oil related tax
revenues that they may increase property taxes to meet their obligations,
including debt service.
- exports are a significant part of the Texas economy, as is retail trade in
the Texas-Mexico border area. Economic problems in Mexico and Asia in the
recent past hurt the state's economy. Exports to Mexico fluctuated widely in
the mid-1990s as a result of Mexico's financial crisis;
- reductions in federal defense spending have also hurt the state's economy.
Scheduled military base closings will cause
28
<PAGE>
the loss of many jobs in the affected communities, with much of the burden
falling on the state's Hispanic population.
Despite Texas' recent economic performance, Texas continues to have one of the
country's highest poverty rates. This has created greater demand for social
services. The resulting strains on the state could effect its economy
significantly:
- over forty percent of the state's spending is for health and human services,
and the state has received substantial federal funding to pay for such
services;
- recent federal welfare reform legislation has and will cut back funding for
such services, has reduced benefit levels, and has prohibited services for
illegal immigrants; and
- the cuts in federal funding and services may have a disproportionate effect
on Texas, since the state has a high number of illegal immigrants and people
dependent on welfare programs. Under the current federal funding scheme
Texas may receive insufficient funds for its own programs, placing
additional strains on state and local finances unless spending on such
programs is reduced.
Texas' general obligation bonds are rated AA by Standard & Poor's, Aa1 by
Moody's and AA+ by Fitch's.
VIRGINIA RISKS
Virginia's economy is highly dependent on defense spending:
- there are major concentrations of defense installations in Northern Virginia
and the Hampton Roads area; and
- any substantial reductions in military spending, including base closings,
could hurt both the state and local economies.
The state's general obligations are rated AAA by Standard & Poor's and Aaa by
Moody's.
29
<PAGE>
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
Some 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 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,
30
<PAGE>
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.
If you acquire 25% or more of the outstanding units of the Fund and you sell
units with a value exceeding $250,000, the Trustee may choose to pay you "in
kind" by distributing bonds and cash with a total value equal to the price of
those units. The Trustee will try to distribute bonds in the portfolio pro rata,
but it reserves the right to distribute only one or a few bonds. The Trustee
will act as your agent in an in kind distribution and will either hold the bonds
for your account or sell them as you instruct. You must pay any transaction
costs as well as transfer and ongoing custodial fees on sales of bonds
distributed in kind.
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. In addition, you may exchange into this Fund from certain other
Defined Asset Funds and unit trusts. 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.
HOW THE FUND WORKS
PRICING
The price of a unit includes interest accrued on the bonds, less expenses, from
the initial
31
<PAGE>
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.
In addition, as with mutual funds, the Fund (and therefore the investors) pay
all or some of the costs of organizing the Fund including:
- cost of initial preparation of legal documents;
- federal and state registration fees;
- initial fees and expenses of the Trustee;
- initial audit; and
- legal expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses.
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.
32
<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
among the Sponsors, the Trustee and the Evaluator, which sets forth their duties
and obligations and your rights. A copy of the
33
<PAGE>
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
Davis Polk & Wardwell, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as
counsel for the Sponsors, has given an opinion that the units are validly
issued. Special counsel located in the relevant states have given state and
local tax opinions.

Each Sponsor is a Delaware corporation and it, or its predecessor, has acted as
sponsor to many unit investment trusts. As a registered broker-dealer each
Sponsor buys and sells securities (including investment company shares) for
others (including investment companies) and participates as an underwriter in
various selling groups.
TRUSTEE
The Chase Manhattan Bank, Unit Investment Trust Department, 4 New York
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 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
35
<PAGE>
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 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.
36
<PAGE>
YOUR BASIS IN THE BONDS
Your aggregate basis in the bonds will be equal to the cost of your units,
including any sales charges and the organizational expenses 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.
ARIZONA TAXES
In the opinion of Osborn Maledon, P.A., Phoenix, Arizona, special counsel on
Arizona tax matters:
Under Arizona state income tax laws, the Arizona Trust will not be taxed as a
corporation so long as it is not taxed as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes. Your Arizona income tax consequences will be the same as if you
directly owned your share of all bonds in the Arizona Trust. If you are an
Arizona taxpayer, your interest income from the Arizona Trust will be tax-exempt
in Arizona to the extent of your share of interest income earned on bonds that
are tax-exempt in Arizona, but not interest income earned on other bonds. If you
are an Arizona taxpayer, gains on the sale of bonds by the Arizona Trust or on
the redemption or sale of your units will be subject to Arizona income tax. The
amount of your gain will depend on your aggregate basis in the bonds, which may
be different for Arizona income tax purposes than it is for federal income tax
purposes if the tax basis of bonds includes 'original issue discount" or "bond
premium." Depending on where you live, your income from the Arizona Trust may be
subject to taxation under other state and local laws. You should consult your
tax adviser about this.
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
37
<PAGE>
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.
OHIO TAXES
In the opinion of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, Columbus, Ohio, special
counsel on Ohio tax matters:
Under the laws of the State of Ohio, the Ohio Trust will not be subject to the
Ohio corporation franchise tax or the Ohio tax on dealers in intangibles. If you
are an Ohio taxpayer, your interest income from the Ohio Trust will be exempt
from Ohio personal income taxes and Ohio corporation franchise taxes to the
extent it relates to bonds held by the Ohio Trust that are exempt from taxation
under Ohio law. However, any gains and losses which must be recognized for
federal income tax purposes (whether upon the sale of your units in the Ohio
Trust or upon the sale of bonds by the Ohio Trust) also must be recognized for
Ohio personal income and corporation franchise tax purposes, except to the
extent the gains and losses are attributable to the sale of bonds by the Ohio
Trust that are exempt from such taxation under Ohio law. Your interest income
and your gains and losses generally are not subject to municipal income taxation
in Ohio. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of Ohio
taxes to you in connection with your investment in the Ohio Trust.
TEXAS TAXES
In the opinion of Hughes & Luce, L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, special counsel on Texas
tax matters:
Under Texas law, the Fund will not pay Texas income taxes on any Fund income so
long as the Fund is not a corporation or limited liability company for Texas tax
purposes. You will not pay income taxes to any Texas taxing authority on income
you receive from the Fund. As long as the Fund owns no tangible property, you
will not pay Texas property taxes on your units in the Fund and the Fund will
not pay Texas property tax on the bonds it holds. Your estate may have to pay
Texas inheritance taxes on any units you own upon your death. You should consult
your tax adviser respecting Texas taxes.
VIRGINIA TAXES
In the opinion of Hunton & Williams, Richmond, Virginia, special counsel on
Virginia tax matters:
Under the income tax laws of the State of Virginia, the Virginia Trust will not
be taxed as a corporation. If you are a Virginia taxpayer, your income from the
Virginia Trust will not be tax-exempt in Virginia except to the extent that the
income is attributable to either (i) interest earned on bonds that are
tax-exempt for Virginia purposes, (ii) profits from the sale of bonds of
Virginia or any political subdivision or instrumentality of Virginia, or (iii)
profits from the sale of bonds of the United States or any authority,
commission, or instrumentality of the United States. If, at the time of your
death, you either are a Virginia resident or, in certain cases, are not a
resident of the United States, your units may be subject to Virginia estate tax.
You should consult your tax adviser in these matters.

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 - 210 (ARIZONA,
CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE, NEW YORK, OHIO,
TEXAS AND VIRGINIA TRUSTS), DEFINED ASSET FUNDS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Sponsors, Trustee and Holders
of Municipal Investment Trust Fund,
Multistate Series - 210 (Arizona, California Intermediate, New York,
Ohio, Texas and Virginia Trusts), Defined Asset Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of Municipal
Investment Trust Fund, Multistate Series - 210 (Arizona, California
Intermediate, New York, Ohio, Texas and Virginia Trusts), Defined
Asset Funds, including the portfolios, as of June 30, 2000 and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets for the
years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Trustee. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Securities owned at June 30, 2000, as shown in such portfolios, were
confirmed to us by The Chase Manhattan Bank, the Trustee. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Trustee, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

MUNICIPAL INVESTMENT TRUST FUND,
MULTISTATE SERIES - 210 (ARIZONA,
CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE, NEW YORK, OHIO,
TEXAS AND VIRGINIA TRUSTS), DEFINED ASSET FUNDS
NOTES TO PORTFOLIOS
As of June 30, 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) Insured by the indicated municipal bond insurance company.
(6) Bonds with an aggregate face amount of $ 555,000 of the Arizona Trust,
$ 135,000 of the New York Trust, $ 190,000 of the Ohio Trust, $
725,000 of the Texas Trust and $ 65,000 of the Virginia Trust have
been pre-refunded and are expected to be called for redemption on the
optional redemption provision dates shown.
