FLORIDA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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

1. Summary of Accounting Policies.

Florida  Daily  Municipal  Income Fund, a  Massachusetts  Business  Trust,  is a
no-load,  non-diversified,  open-end  management  investment  company registered
under the Investment  Company Act of 1940. The Fund is a short-term,  tax exempt
money market  fund.  The Fund has two classes of stock  authorized,  Class A and
Class B. The  Class A shares  are  subject  to a  service  fee  pursuant  to the
Distribution  and Service Plan.  The Class B shares are not subject to a service
fee. In all other  respects  the Class A and Class B shares  represent  the same
interest  in the income and assets of the Fund.  Its  financial  statements  are
prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
investment companies as follows:

     a) Valuation of Securities -

     Investments are valued at amortized cost.  Under this valuation  method,  a
     portfolio  instrument  is valued at cost and any  discount  or  premium  is
     amortized  on a  constant  basis to the  maturity  of the  instrument.  The
     maturity of variable rate demand  instruments is deemed to be the longer of
     the period  required  before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the
     principal  amount or the  period  remaining  until the next  interest  rate
     adjustment.

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

     c) Dividends and Distributions -

     Dividends from investment  income  (excluding  capital gains and losses, if
     any, and  amortization  of market  discount)  are  declared  daily and paid
     monthly.  Distributions of net capital gains, if any,  realized on sales of
     investments are made after the close of the Fund's fiscal year, as declared
     by the Fund's Board of Directors.

     d) Use of Estimates -

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in
     net assets from  operations  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results
     could differ from those estimates.

     e) General -

     Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income
     is  accrued  as  earned.   Realized   gains  and  losses  from   securities
     transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

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.  (Manager) at the annual rate of .40%
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  extent  that  such  expenses,  including  the
investment management and the shareholder servicing and administration fees, for
any fiscal year exceed the limits on investment  company expenses  prescribed by
any  state  in  which  the  Fund's  shares  are  qualified  for  sale.  No  such
reimbursement was required for the year ended August 31, 1996.

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


2.   Investment   Management  Fees  and  Other   Transactions   with  Affiliates
(Continued).


Pursuant to an Administrative  Services Contract the Fund pays to the Manager an
annual fee of .21% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  Prior to December 1,
1995, the Administration fee was .20%.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted under Securities and 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,
only with  respect  to Class A shares of the Fund.  For its  services  under the
Shareholder  Servicing  Agreement,  the Distributor  receives from the Fund with
respect  only to the Class A shares,  a fee equal to .25% of the Fund's  average
daily net assets.  There were no additional  expenses borne by the Fund pursuant
to the Distribution Plan.

During the year ended August 31, 1996, the Manager voluntarily waived investment
management fees and administration  fees of $170,022 and $85,011,  respectively,
and reimbursed other operating expenses amounting to $28,292.

Included in the statement of operations  under the captions  "Custodian fee" and
"Shareholder  servicing and related shareholder expenses" are expense offsets of
$27,499.

Fees are paid to Trustees who are unaffiliated  with the Manager on the basis of
$1,000 per annum plus $250 per meeting attended.

Included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Shareholder servicing
and  related  shareholder  expenses"  are  fees of  $9,645  paid to Reich & Tang
Services L.P., an affiliate of the Manager, as servicing agent for the Fund.

3.  Transactions  in Shares of  Beneficial  Interest.

At August 31, 1996, an unlimited  number of shares of beneficial  interest ($.01
par  value)  were  authorized  and  capital  paid in  amounted  to  $46,372,860.
Transactions, all at $1.00 per share, were as follows:

FLORIDA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

4. Sales of Securities.

Accumulated  undistributed  realized  losses at August  31,  1996,  amounted  to
$3,897.  Such amount  represents  tax basis capital  losses which may be carried
forward to offset future capital gains. Such losses expire August 31, 2003.

5. Concentration of Credit Risk.

The Fund invests primarily in obligations of political subdivisions of the State
of Florida and,  accordingly,  is subject to the credit risk associated with the
non-performance  of such issuers.  Approximately  63% of these  investments  are
further  secured,  as to principal and interest,  by letters of credit issued by
financial  institutions.  The Fund maintains a policy of monitoring its exposure
by  reviewing  the  credit  worthiness  of the  issuers,  as well as that of the
financial institutions issuing the letters of credit, and by limiting the amount
of holdings with letters of credit from one financial institution.

6. Selected Financial Information.
