(2) All figures as of the business day prior to the Date of Deposit. Figures in
brackets represent the current return. The first year's estimated current
returns are slightly lower than those for subsequent years because a portion
of the monies received in the first year only will be treated as a return of
principal due to the inclusion in the portfolio of "when issued" or other
Bonds having delivery dates after the date of settlement for a purchase made
on the Date of Deposit.
(3) In contrast to Estimated Current Return, Estimated Long Term Return reflects
the amortization of premium or accretion of discount, if any, on the bonds
in the Trust's portfolio.

+ Interest for Unitholders of this series began to accrue as of the Date of
Deposit. Units purchased on the Date of Deposit will have $.11 of accrued
interest that will be added to the Public Offering Price on the Settlement Date.
After provision for expenses of the Fund, the daily rate of accrual from the
Date of Deposit to the first Record Date is $.01641 per unit per day.
Consequently, on the first Record Date (11/01/94), accrued interest will total
$0.7384 per unit for the 45-day period. All interest accrued from the Date of
Deposit to the first Record Date, less expenses, will be distributed on the
first Distribution Date to Unitholders of Record as of the first Record Date.
The first payment to all Unitholders of Record on 11/01/94 is $.7384 per unit.
After the first Record Date daily rates of accrual are:
Monthly - $0.01641 Quarterly - $0.01650
Semi-Annual - $0.01655
This daily rate of accrual, and the annual distributions shown above, will
remain the same as long as the portfolio size and composition remain the same.
