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. Additionally, the Fund may allocate among its classes certain expenses, to
the extent allowable to specific classes, including transfer agent fees,
government registration fees, certain printing and postage costs, and
administrative and legal expenses. Class Specific expenses of the Fund were
limited to distribution fees and minor transfer agent expenses. 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.
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.

FLORIDA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
===============================================================================
2.Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
(Continued).
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, 1997, the Manager voluntarily waived investment
management fees and administration fees of $262,474 and $171,422, respectively.
Included in the statement of operations under the caption "Shareholder servicing
and related shareholder expenses" are expense offsets of $2,310.
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 $42,846 paid to Reich & Tang
Services L.P., an affiliate of the Manager, as servicing agent for the Fund.
3.Transactions in Shares of Beneficial Interest.
At August 31, 1997, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest ($.01
par value) were authorized and capital paid in amounted to $108,468,768.

4. Sales of Securities.
Accumulated undistributed realized losses at August 31, 1997, amounted to
$3,897. Such amount represents tax basis capital losses which may be carried
forward to offset future capital gains. Such losses expire through August 31,
2004.
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 66% 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.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Florida Daily Municipal Income Fund
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Florida Daily
Municipal Income Fund as of August 31, 1997 and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for
each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period from September
19, 1994 (Commencement of Operations) to August 31, 1995. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
August 31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Florida Daily Municipal Income Fund as of August 31, 1997, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
