FLORIDA DAILY MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
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 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.

4. Sales of Securities.
Accumulated undistributed realized losses at February 28, 1998, 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, 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 68% 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.
