Target 5 Trust, Series 2
Target 10 Trust, Series 8
The Trusts. The First Trust (registered trademark) Special Situations
Trust, Series 119 consists of the underlying separate unit investment
trusts set forth above. The various trusts are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Trusts" and each as a "Trust." Each
Trust consists of a portfolio containing common stocks issued
by companies which provide income and are considered to have the
potential for capital appreciation (the "Equity Securities").
Target 5 Trust, Series 2 consists of common stock of the five
companies with the lowest per share stock price of the ten companies
in the Dow Jones Industrial Average having the highest dividend
yield as of the opening of business on the date of this Prospectus.
Target 10 Trust, Series 8 consists of common stock of the ten
companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average having the highest
dividend yield as of the opening of business on the date of this
Prospectus. Dow Jones Industrial Average is not affiliated with
the Sponsor and is the property of Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Dow
Jones & Company, Inc. has not granted to the Trusts or the Sponsor
a license to use the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Dow Jones &
Company, Inc. has not participated in any way in the creation
of the Trusts or in the selection of stocks included in the Trusts
and has not approved any information herein relating thereto.
The objective of each Trust is to provide an above-average total
return through a combination of dividend income and capital appreciation
by investing such Trust's portfolio in selected common stocks
of companies which meet the criteria stated above. See "Schedule
of Investments" for each Trust. Units are not designed so that
their prices will parallel or correlate with movements in the
Dow Jones Industrial Average, and it is expected that their prices
will not parallel or correlate with such movements. Each Trust
has a mandatory termination date (the "Mandatory Termination Date"
or "Trust Ending Date") of approximately one year from the date
of this Prospectus as set forth under "Summary of Essential Information."
There is, of course, no guarantee that the objective of either
Trust will be achieved.
Each Unit of a Trust represents an undivided fractional interest
in all the Equity Securities deposited in such Trust. The Equity
Securities deposited in a Trust's portfolio have no fixed maturity
date and the value of these underlying Equity Securities will
fluctuate with changes in the values of stocks in general. See
"Portfolio."
The Sponsor may, from time to time after the Initial Date of Deposit,
deposit additional Equity Securities in a Trust. Such deposits
of additional Equity Securities will, therefore, be done in such
a manner that the original proportionate relationship amongst
the individual issues of the Equity Securities shall be maintained.
Any deposit by the Sponsor of additional Equity Securities will
duplicate, as nearly as is practicable, the original proportionate
relationship established on the Initial Date of Deposit, and not
the actual proportionate relationship on the subsequent date of
deposit, since the actual proportionate relationship may be
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION
NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION OR AMENDMENT.
A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THESE SECURITIES
MAY NOT BE SOLD NOR MAY OFFERS TO BUY BE ACCEPTED PRIOR TO THE
TIME THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT BECOMES EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS
SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN
OFFER TO BUY NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF THESE SECURITIES IN
ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL
PRIOR TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE.

The date of this Prospectus is , 1995

different than the original proportionate relationship. Any such
difference may be due to the sale, redemption or liquidation of
any Equity Securities deposited in such Trust on the Initial,
or any subsequent, Date of Deposit. See "What is the First Trust
Special Situations Trust?" and "How May Equity Securities be Removed
from a Trust?"
Public Offering Price. The Public Offering Price per Unit of the
Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and the Target 10 Trust, Series 8, respectively,
is equal to the aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities
in such Trust (generally determined by the closing sale prices
of the Equity Securities) plus or minus a pro rata share of cash,
if any, in the Capital and Income Accounts of such Trust, plus
an initial sales charge for each Trust equal to the difference
between the maximum sales charge for each Trust (2.75% and 2.90%
of the Public Offering Price, respectively) and the maximum remaining
deferred sales charge (initially $0.195 per Unit for each Trust).
For Unit holders of the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and the Target
10 Trust, Series 8, commencing
, 1995, and on the day of each month
thereafter, through , 1996, a deferred sales
charge of $0.0195 will be assessed per Unit. Units purchased subsequent
to the initial deferred sales charge payment will be subject to
only the remaining deferred sales charge payments. For each Trust,
the deferred sales charge will be paid from distributions from
the Equity Securities, if sufficient, or from the periodic sale
of Equity Securities. The total maximum sales charge assessed
to Unit holders on a per Unit basis will be 2.75% and 2.90% of
the Public Offering Price (equivalent to 2.772% and 2.928% of
the net amount invested) for the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and
the Target 10 Trust, Series 8, respectively. A pro rata share
of accumulated dividends, if any, in the Income Account is included
in the Public Offering Price. The minimum purchase for each Trust
is $1,000. The sales charge for each Trust is reduced on a graduated
scale for sales involving at least 5,000 Units. See "How is
the Public Offering Price Determined?"
Estimated Net Annual Distributions. The estimated net annual dividend
distributions to Unit holders (based on the most recent quarterly
or semi-annual ordinary dividend declared with respect to the
Equity Securities in each Trust) at the opening of business on
the Initial Date of Deposit for Target 5 Trust, Series 2 was $
per Unit, and for Target 10 Trust, Series 8
was $ per Unit. The estimated net annual dividend
distributions per Unit will vary with changes in fees and expenses
of each Trust, with changes in dividends received and with the
sale or liquidation of Equity Securities; therefore, there is
no assurance that the estimated net annual dividend distributions
will be realized in the future.
Dividend and Capital Distributions. Distributions of dividends
received by a Trust will be paid in cash on the Distribution Date
to Unit holders of record on the Record Date as set forth in the
"Summary of Essential Information" for each Trust. The first such
distribution for each Trust will be made on
, 1995 to Unit holders of record on , 1995.
The last distribution will be made as part of the final liquidation
distribution. Distributions of funds in the Capital Account, if
any, will be made as part of the final liquidation distribution,
and in certain circumstances, earlier. Any distribution of income
and/or capital will be net of the expenses of a Trust. See "What
is the Federal Tax Status of Unit Holders?" Additionally, upon
termination of a Trust, the Trustee will distribute, upon surrender
of Units for redemption, to each remaining Unit holder his pro
rata share of such Trust's assets, less expenses, in the manner
set forth under "Rights of Unit Holders-How are Income and Capital
Distributed?" The Sponsor intends to create a separate 1996 Trust
for both the Target 5 Trust, Series and the Target 10 Trust, Series
(the "1996 Trusts") in conjunction with the termination of this
series of the Target 5 Trust, Series and Target 10 Trust, Series.
Unit holders who elect to become Rollover Unit holders will not
receive the final liquidation distribution, but will receive units
in either 1996 Trust as selected by the Unit holder. See "Special
Redemption, Liquidation and Investment in New Trusts." Any Unit
holder may elect to have each distribution of income or capital
on his Unit, other than the final liquidating distribution in
connection with the termination of a Trust, automatically reinvested
in additional Units of such Trust subject only to the remaining
deferred sales charge payments as set forth below. See "Rights
of Unit Holders-How are the Income and Capital Distributed?"
Secondary Market for Units. While under no obligation to do so,
the Sponsor may maintain a market for Units of a Trust and offer
to repurchase such Units at prices which are based on the aggregate
underlying value of Equity Securities in such Trust (generally
determined by the closing sale prices of the Equity Securities)
Page 2
plus or minus cash, if any, in the Capital and Income Accounts
of such Trust. If a secondary market is not maintained, a Unit
holder may redeem Units through redemption at prices based upon
the aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities in such
Trust (generally determined by the closing sale prices of the
Equity Securities) plus or minus a pro rata share of cash, if
any, in the Capital and Income Accounts of such Trust. A Unit
holder tendering 2,500 Units or more of a Trust for redemption
may request a distribution of shares of Equity Securities (reduced
by customary transfer and registration charges) in lieu of payment
in cash. See "How May Units be Redeemed?" Units sold or tendered
for redemption prior to such time as the entire deferred sales
charge on such Units has been collected will be assessed the amount
of the remaining deferred sales charge at the time of sale or
redemption.
Special Redemption, Liquidation and Investment in New Trusts.
Unit holders who hold their Units in book entry form will have
the option of specifying by , 1996 (the "Rollover
Notification Date") to have all of their Units redeemed in-kind
on the Rollover Notification Date and the distributed Equity Securities
sold by the Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, during
the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period. (Unit holders so
electing are referred to herein as "Rollover Unit holders.") The
Distribution Agent will appoint the Sponsor as its agent to determine
the manner, timing and execution of sales of underlying Equity
Securities. The proceeds of the redemption will then be invested
in Units of a 1996 Trust, if one or more such Trusts are offered.
The Sponsor may, however, stop creating new Units of a 1996 Trust
at any time in its sole discretion without regard to whether all
the proceeds to be invested have been invested. Cash which has
not been invested on behalf of the Rollover Unit holders in a
1996 Trust will be distributed at the end of the Special Redemption
and Liquidation Period. However, the Sponsor anticipates that
sufficient Units can be created, although moneys in either Trust
may not be fully invested on the next business day. Rollover Unit
holders may purchase Units of a 1996 Trust at a reduced sales
charge. The portfolio for the 1996 Trust of the Target 5 Trust,
Series will contain common stock of the five companies with the
lowest per share stock price of the ten companies in the Dow Jones
Industrial Average having the highest dividend yield as of the
business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit of the 1996
Trust. The portfolio of the 1996 Trust of the Target 10 Trust,
Series will contain the ten common stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial
Average having the highest dividend yield as of the business day
prior to the Initial Date of Deposit of the 1996 Trust. Rollover
Unit holders will receive credit for the amount of dividends in
the Income Account of a Trust which will be included in the
reinvestment in Units of such 1996 Trust. The exchange option
described above is subject to modification, termination or suspension.
Termination. Each Trust will terminate approximately one year
after the Initial Date of Deposit regardless of market conditions
at that time. Commencing on the Mandatory Termination Date, Equity
Securities will begin to be sold in connection with the termination
of a Trust. The Sponsor will determine the manner, timing and
execution of the sale of the Equity Securities. Written notice
of any termination of a Trust specifying the time or times at
which Unit holders may surrender their certificates for cancellation
shall be given by the Trustee to each Unit holder at his address
appearing on the registration books of such Trust maintained by
the Trustee. At least 30 days prior to the Mandatory Termination
Date of a Trust, the Trustee will provide written notice thereof
to all Unit holders and will include with such notice a form to
enable Unit holders to elect a distribution of shares of Equity
Securities (reduced by customary transfer and registration charges)
if such Unit holder owns at least 2,500 Units of such Trust, rather
than to receive payment in cash for such Unit holder's pro rata
share of the amounts realized upon the disposition by the Trustee
of Equity Securities. To be effective, the election form, together
with surrendered certificates and other documentation required
by the Trustee, must be returned to the Trustee at least five
business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date of a Trust.
Unit holders not electing the "Rollover Option" or a distribution
of shares of the Equity Securities will receive a cash distribution
within a reasonable time after a Trust is terminated. See "Rights
of Unit Holders-How are Income and Capital Distributed?"
Risk Factors. An investment in a Trust should be made with an
understanding of the risks associated therewith, including, among
other factors, the possible deterioration of either the financial
condition of the issuers or the general condition of the stock
market, volatile interest rates or an economic recession. An investment
Page 3
in Target 5 Trust, Series 2 may subject a Unit holder to additional
risk due to the relative lack of diversity in its portfolio since
the portfolio contains only five stocks. Therefore, Units of Target
5 Trust, Series 2 may be subject to greater market risk than other
Trusts which contain a more diversified portfolio of securities.
The Trusts are not actively managed and Equity Securities will
not be sold by a Trust to take advantage of market fluctuations
or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation. See "What are
Equity Securities?-Risk Factors."

(1) Each Equity Security listed on a national securities exchange
is valued at the last closing sale price on the New York Stock
Exchange, or if no such price exists at the closing ask price
thereof.
(2) The maximum sales charge consists of an initial sales charge
and a deferred sales charge. The initial sales charge applies
to all Units and represents an amount equal to the difference
between the maximum sales charge for the Trust of 2.75% of the
Public Offering Price and the amount of the maximum remaining
deferred sales charge (initially $0.195 per Unit). Subsequent
to the initial date of deposit, the amount of the initial sales
charge will vary with changes in the aggregate underlying value
of the Equity Securities underlying the Trust. In addition to
the initial sales charge, Unit holders of Target 5 Trust, Series
2 will pay a deferred sales charge of $0.0195 per Unit commencing
, 1995 and on the day of each
month thereafter through , 1996. Units purchased
subsequent to the initial deferred sales charge payment will be
subject to only the remaining deferred sales charge payments.
These deferred sales charge payments will be paid from distributions
received by the Trust and/or from the periodic sale of Equity
Securities. See "Fee Table" and "Public Offering" for additional
information. On the Initial Date of Deposit there will be no
accumulated dividends in the Income Account. Anyone ordering Units
after such date will pay a pro rata share of any accumulated dividends
in such Income Account. The Public Offering Price as shown reflects
the value of the Equity Securities at the opening of business on the
Initial Date of Deposit and establishes the original proportionate
relationship amongst the individual securities. No sales to investors
will be executed at this price. Additional Equity Securities will
be deposited during the day of the Initial Date of Deposit which
will be valued as of 4:00 p.m. eastern standard time and sold
to investors at a Public Offering Price per Unit based on this
valuation.
(3) See "How May Units be Redeemed?"
(4) In addition, the Sponsor will be reimbursed for bookkeeping
and other administrative expenses currently at a maximum annual
rate of $0.0010 per Unit.
(5) At the Rollover Notification Date for Rollover Unit holders
or upon termination of the Trust for other Unit holders, amounts
in the Income Account (which consist of dividends on the Equity
Securities) will be included in amounts distributed to or on behalf
of Unit holders. Distributions from the Capital Account will be
made monthly payable on the last day of the month to Unit holders
of record on the fifteenth day of such month if the amount available
for distribution equals at least $0.01 per Unit. Notwithstanding,
distributions of funds in the Capital Account, if any, will be
made as part of the final liquidation distribution.

will be valued as of 4:00 p.m. eastern standard time and sold
to investors at a Public Offering Price per Unit based on this
valuation.
(3) See "How May Units be Redeemed?"
(4) In addition, the Sponsor will be reimbursed for bookkeeping
and other administrative expenses currently at a maximum annual
rate of $0.0010 per Unit.
(5) At the Rollover Notification Date for Rollover Unit holders
or upon termination of the Trust for other Unit holders, amounts
in the Income Account (which consist of dividends on the Equity
Securities) will be included in amounts distributed to or on behalf
of Unit holders. Distributions from the Capital Account will be
made monthly payable on the last day of the month to Unit holders
of record on the fifteenth day of such month if the amount available
for distribution equals at least $0.01 per Unit. Notwithstanding,
distributions of funds in the Capital Account, if any, will be
made as part of the final liquidation distribution.

The First Trust Special Situations Trust, Series 119
What is The First Trust Special Situations Trust?
The First Trust Special Situations Trust, Series 119 is one of
a series of investment companies created by the Sponsor under
the name of The First Trust Special Situations Trust, all of which
are generally similar but each of which is separate and is designated
by a different series number. This Series consists of underlying
separate unit investment trusts designated as: Target 5 Trust,
Series 2 and Target 10 Trust, Series 8 (collectively the "Trusts,"
and each individually a "Trust"). Each Trust was created under
the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a Trust Agreement
(the "Indenture"), dated the Initial Date of Deposit, with Nike
Securities L.P., as Sponsor, United States Trust Company of New
York, as Trustee, First Trust Advisors L.P., as Portfolio Supervisor
and FT Evaluators L.P., as Evaluator.
On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor deposited with the
Trustee confirmations of contracts for the purchase of common
stocks issued by companies which provide income and are considered
to have the potential for capital appreciation (the "Equity
Securities"), together with an irrevocable letter or letters of
credit of a financial institution in an amount at least equal to the
purchase price of such Equity Securities. In exchange for the deposit
of securities or contracts to purchase securities in a Trust, the
Trustee delivered to the Sponsor documents evidencing the entire
ownership of such Trust.
The objective of the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 is to provide an
above-average total return through a combination of dividend income
and capital appreciation by investing in Equity Securities of
the five companies with the lowest per share stock price of the
ten companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average having the highest
dividend yield as of the opening of business on the date of this
Prospectus.
The objective of the Target 10 Trust, Series 8 is to provide an
above-average total return through a combination of dividend income
and capital appreciation by investing in Equity Securities of
the ten companies which are in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
having the highest dividend yield as of the opening of business
on the date of this Prospectus. Dow Jones Industrial Average is
not affiliated with the Sponsor and is the property of Dow Jones
& Company, Inc. There is, of course, no guarantee that the objective
of either Trust will be achieved.
With the deposit of the Equity Securities on the Initial Date
of Deposit, the Sponsor established a percentage relationship
between the amounts of Equity Securities in a Trust's portfolio.
See "What are the Equity Securities Selected for Target 5 Trust,
Series 2?" and "What are the Equity Securities Selected for Target
10 Trust, Series 8?" From time to time following the Initial Date
of Deposit, the Sponsor, pursuant to the Indenture, may deposit
additional Equity Securities in a Trust and Units may be continuously
offered for sale to the public by means of this Prospectus, resulting
in a potential increase in the outstanding number of Units of such
Trust. Any deposit by the Sponsor of additional Equity Securities will
duplicate, as nearly as is practicable, the original proportionate
relationship and not the actual proportionate relationship on
the subsequent date of deposit, since the actual proportionate
relationship may be different than the original proportionate
relationship. Any such difference may be due to the sale, redemption
or liquidation of any of the Equity Securities deposited in a
Trust on the Initial, or any subsequent, Date of Deposit. See
"How May Equity Securities be Removed from a Trust?" The original
percentage relationship of each Equity Security to a Trust is
set forth herein under "Schedule of Investments" for such Trust.
Since the prices of the underlying Equity Securities will fluctuate
daily, the ratio, on a market value basis, will also change daily.
The portion of Equity Securities represented by each Unit will not
change as a result of the deposit of additional Equity Securities
in a Trust.
On the Initial Date of Deposit, each Unit of a Trust represented
the undivided fractional interest in the Equity Securities deposited
in such Trust set forth under "Summary of Essential Information"
for such Trust. To the extent that Units of a Trust are redeemed,
the aggregate value of the Equity Securities in such Trust will
be reduced and the undivided fractional interest represented by
each outstanding Unit of such Trust will increase. However, if
additional Units are issued by a Trust in connection with the
deposit of additional Equity
Page 9
Securities by the Sponsor, the aggregate value of the Equity Securities
in such Trust will be increased by amounts allocable to additional
Units, and the fractional undivided interest represented by each
Unit of such Trust will be decreased proportionately. See "How
May Units be Redeemed?" Each Trust has a Mandatory Termination
Date as set forth herein under "Summary of Essential Information"
for such Trust.
What are the Expenses and Charges?
At no cost to a Trust, the Sponsor has borne all the expenses
of creating and establishing such Trust, including the cost of
the initial preparation, printing and execution of the Indenture
and the certificates for the Units, legal and accounting expenses,
expenses of the Trustee and other out-of-pocket expenses. With
the exception of bookkeeping and other administrative services
provided to the Trusts, for which the Sponsor will be reimbursed
in amounts as set forth under "Summary of Essential Information,"
the Sponsor will not receive any fees in connection with its activities
relating to the Trusts. Such bookkeeping and administrative charges
may be increased without approval of the Unit holders by amounts
not exceeding proportionate increases under the category "All
Services Less Rent of Shelter" in the Consumer Price Index published
by the United States Department of Labor. The fees payable to
the Sponsor for such services may exceed the actual costs of providing
such services for these Trusts, but at no time will the total
amount received for such services rendered to unit investment
trusts of which Nike Securities L.P. is the Sponsor in any calendar
year exceed the actual cost to the Sponsor of supplying such services
in such year. First Trust Advisors L.P. will receive an annual
supervisory fee, which is not to exceed the amount set forth under
"Summary of Essential Information," for providing portfolio supervisory
services for the Trusts. Such fee is based on the number of Units
outstanding in a Trust on January 1 of each year except for the
year or years in which an initial offering period occurs in which
case the fee for a month is based on the number of Units outstanding
at the end of such month. This fee may exceed the actual costs
of providing such supervisory services for these Trusts, but at
no time will the total amount received for portfolio supervisory
services rendered to unit investment trusts of which Nike Securities
L.P. is the Sponsor in any calendar year exceed the aggregate
cost to First Trust Advisors L.P. of supplying such services in
such year.
Subsequent to the initial offering period, the Evaluator, an affiliate
of the Sponsor, will receive a fee as indicated in the "Summary
of Essential Information." The fee may exceed the actual costs
of providing such evaluation services for these Trusts, but at
no time will the total amount received for evaluation services
rendered to unit investment trusts of which Nike Securities L.P.
is the Sponsor in any calendar year exceed the aggregate cost
to FT Evaluators L.P. of supplying such services in such year.
The Trustee pays certain expenses of a Trust for which it is reimbursed
by such Trust. The Trustee will receive for its ordinary recurring
services to a Trust an annual fee computed at $0.0090 per annum
per Unit in such Trust outstanding based upon the largest aggregate
number of Units of such Trust outstanding at any time during the
calendar year. For a discussion of the services performed by the
Trustee pursuant to its obligations under the Indenture, reference
is made to the material set forth under "Rights of Unit Holders."
The Trustee's and Evaluator's fees are payable from the Income
Account of a Trust to the extent funds are available and then
from the Capital Account of such Trust. Since the Trustee has
the use of the funds being held in the Capital and Income Accounts
for payment of expenses and redemptions and since such Accounts
are noninterest-bearing to Unit holders, the Trustee benefits
thereby. Part of the Trustee's compensation for its services to
a Trust is expected to result from the use of these funds. Both
fees may be increased without approval of the Unit holders by
amounts not exceeding proportionate increases under the category
"All Services Less Rent of Shelter" in the Consumer Price Index
published by the United States Department of Labor.
The following additional charges are or may be incurred by a Trust:
all legal expenses of the Trustee incurred by or in connection
with its responsibilities under the Indenture; the expenses and
costs of any action undertaken by the Trustee to protect such
Trust and the rights and interests of the Unit holders; fees of
the Trustee for any extraordinary services performed under the
Indenture; indemnification of the Trustee for any loss, liability
or expense incurred by it without negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with its
acceptance or administration of such Trust; indemnification of
the Sponsor for any loss, liability or expense incurred without
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in acting as
Depositor of such Trust; all taxes and other government charges
imposed upon the Securities or any
Page 10
part of such Trust (no such taxes or charges are being levied
or made or, to the knowledge of the Sponsor, contemplated). The
above expenses and the Trustee's annual fee, when paid or owing
to the Trustee, are secured by a lien on a Trust. In addition,
the Trustee is empowered to sell Equity Securities in a Trust
in order to make funds available to pay all these amounts if funds
are not otherwise available in the Income and Capital Accounts
of such Trust. Since the Equity Securities are all common stocks
and the income stream produced by dividend payments is unpredictable,
the Sponsor cannot provide any assurance that dividends will be
sufficient to meet any or all expenses of a Trust. As described
above, if dividends are insufficient to cover expenses, it is
likely that Equity Securities will have to be sold to meet Trust
expenses. These sales may result in capital gains or losses to
Unit holders. See "What is the Federal Tax Status of Unit Holders?"
What is the Federal Tax Status of Unit Holders?
The following is a general discussion of certain of the Federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition
of the Units. The summary is limited to investors who hold the
Units as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment)
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the "Code"). Unit holders should consult their tax advisers
in determining the Federal, state, local and any other tax consequences
of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Units in a Trust.
In the opinion of Chapman and Cutler, special counsel for the
Sponsor, under existing law:
1. Each Trust is not an association taxable as a corporation
for Federal income tax purposes; each Unit holder will be treated
as the owner of a pro rata portion of the assets of a Trust under
the Code; and the income of such Trust will be treated as income
of the Unit holders thereof under the Code. Each Unit holder will
be considered to have received his pro rata share of the income
derived from each Equity Security when such income is received
by a Trust.
2. Each Unit holder will have a taxable event when a Trust
disposes of an Equity Security (whether by sale, exchange, redemption,
or otherwise) or upon the sale or redemption of Units by such
Unit holder. The price a Unit holder pays for his Units, including
sales charges, is allocated among his pro rata portion of each
Equity Security held by a Trust (in proportion to the fair market
values thereof on the date the Unit holder purchases his Units)
in order to determine his initial cost for his pro rata portion
of each Equity Security held by such Trust. For Federal income
tax purposes, a Unit holder's pro rata portion of dividends, as
defined by Section 316 of the Code, paid by a corporation with
respect to an Equity Security held by a Trust is taxable as ordinary
income to the extent of such corporation's current and accumulated
"earnings and profits." A Unit holder's pro rata portion of dividends
paid on such Equity Security which exceeds such current and accumulated
earnings and profits will first reduce a Unit holder's tax basis
in such Equity Security, and to the extent that such dividends
exceed a Unit holder's tax basis in such Equity Security shall
generally be treated as capital gain. In general, any such capital
gain will be short-term unless a Unit holder has held his Units
for more than one year.
3. A Unit holder's portion of gain, if any, upon the sale or
redemption of Units or the disposition of Equity Securities held by
a Trust will generally be considered a capital gain except in the
case of a dealer or a financial institution and will be long-term
if the Unit holder has held his Units for more than one year (the
date on which the Units are acquired (i.e., the "trade date") is
excluded for purposes of determining whether the Units have been
held for more than one year). A Unit holder's portion of loss, if
any, upon the sale or redemption of Units or the disposition of
Equity Securities held by a Trust will generally be considered a
capital loss except in the case of a dealer or a financial institution
and, in general, will be long-term if the Unit holder has held his
Units for more than one year. However, a Rollover Unit holder's loss,
if any, incurred in connection with the exchange of Units for Units
in the next new series of the Target 5 Trust Series or Target 10
Trust Series (the "1996 Trusts"), (the Sponsor intends to create a
separate 1996 Trust in conjunction with the termination of both the
Target 5 Trust Series and Target 10 Trust Series) will generally be
disallowed with respect to the disposition of any Equity Securities
pursuant to such exchange to the extent that such Unit holder is
Page 11
considered the owner of substantially identical securities under the
wash sale provisions of the Code taking into account such Unit holder's
deemed ownership of the securities underlying the Units in a 1996
Trust in the manner described above, if such substantially identical
securities were acquired within a period beginning 30 days before
and ending 30 days after such disposition. However, any gains
incurred in connection with such an exchange by a Rollover Unit
holder would be recognized. Unit holders should consult their
tax advisers regarding the recognition of gains and losses for
Federal income tax purposes.
4. The Code provides that "miscellaneous itemized deductions"
are allowable only to the extent that they exceed two percent
of an individual taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Miscellaneous
itemized deductions subject to this limitation under present law
include a Unit holder's pro rata share of expenses paid by a Trust,
including fees of the Trustee and the Evaluator.
Dividends Received Deduction. A corporation that owns Units will
generally be entitled to a 70% dividends received deduction with
respect to such Unit holder's pro rata portion of dividends received
by a Trust (to the extent such dividends are taxable as ordinary
income, as discussed above) in the same manner as if such corporation
directly owned the Equity Securities paying such dividends (other
than corporate Unit holders, such as "S" corporations which are
not eligible for the deduction because of their special characteristics
and other than for purposes of special taxes such as the accumulated
earnings tax and the personal holding corporation tax). However,
a corporation owning Units should be aware that Sections 246 and
246A of the Code impose additional limitations on the eligibility
of dividends for the 70% dividends received deduction. These limitations
include a requirement that stock (and therefore Units) must generally
be held at least 46 days (as determined under Section 246(c) of
the Code). Proposed regulations have been issued which address
special rules that must be considered in determining whether the
46-day holding period requirement is met. Moreover, the allowable
percentage of the deduction will be reduced from 70% if a corporate
Unit holder owns certain stock (or Units) the financing of which
is directly attributable to indebtedness incurred by such corporation.
It should be noted that various legislative proposals that would
affect the dividends received deduction have been introduced.
Unit holders should consult with their tax advisers with respect
to the limitations on and possible modifications to the dividends
received deduction.
Recognition of Taxable Gain or Loss Upon Disposition of Securities
by a Trust or Disposition of Units. As discussed above, a Unit
holder may recognize taxable gain (or loss) when an Equity Security
is disposed of by a Trust or if the Unit holder disposes of a
Unit (although losses incurred by Rollover Unit holders may be
subject to disallowance, as discussed above). For taxpayers other
than corporations, net capital gains are subject to a maximum
stated marginal tax rate of 28%. However, it should be noted that
legislative proposals are introduced from time to time that affect
tax rates and could affect relative differences at which ordinary
income and capital gains are taxed.
"The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993" (the "Tax Act") raised
tax rates on ordinary income while capital gains remain subject
to a 28% maximum stated rate for taxpayers other than corporations.
Because some or all capital gains are taxed at a comparatively
lower rate under the Tax Act, the Tax Act includes a provision
that recharacterizes capital gains as ordinary income in the case
of certain financial transactions that are "conversion transactions"
effective for transactions entered into after April 30, 1993.
Unit holders and prospective investors should consult with their
tax advisers regarding the potential effect of this provision
on their investment in Units.
Special Tax Consequences of In-Kind Distributions Upon Redemption
of Units, Termination of a Trust and Investment in a New Trust.
As discussed in "Rights of Unit Holders-How are Income and Capital
Distributed?", under certain circumstances a Unit holder who owns
at least 2,500 Units of a Trust may request an In-Kind Distribution
upon the redemption of Units or the termination of such Trust.
The Unit holder requesting an In-Kind Distribution will be liable
for expenses related thereto (the "Distribution Expenses") and
the amount of such In-Kind Distribution will be reduced by the
amount of the Distribution Expenses. See "Rights of Unit Holders-How
are Income and Capital Distributed?" As previously discussed,
prior to the redemption of Units or the termination of a Trust,
a Unit holder is considered as owning a pro rata portion of each
of such Trust's assets for Federal income tax purposes. The receipt
of an In-Kind Distribution upon the redemption of Units or the
termination of a Trust would be deemed an exchange of such Unit
holder's pro
Page 12
rata portion of each of the shares of stock and other assets held
by such Trust in exchange for an undivided interest in whole shares
of stock plus, possibly, cash.
There are generally three different potential tax consequences
which may occur under an In-Kind Distribution with respect to
each Equity Security owned by a Trust. An "Equity Security" for
this purpose is a particular class of stock issued by a particular
corporation. If the Unit holder receives only whole shares of
an Equity Security in exchange for his or her pro rata portion
in each share of such security held by a Trust, there is no taxable
gain or loss recognized upon such deemed exchange pursuant to
Section 1036 of the Code. If the Unit holder receives whole shares
of a particular Equity Security plus cash in lieu of a fractional
share of such Equity Security, and if the fair market value of
the Unit holder's pro rata portion of the shares of such Equity
Security exceeds his tax basis in his pro rata portion of such
Equity Security, taxable gain would be recognized in an amount
not to exceed the amount of such cash received, pursuant to Section
1031(b) of the Code. No taxable loss would be recognized upon
such an exchange pursuant to Section 1031(c) of the Code, whether
or not cash is received in lieu of a fractional share. Under either
of these circumstances, special rules will be applied under Section
1031(d) of the Code to determine the Unit holder's tax basis in
the shares of such particular Equity Security which he receives
as part of the In-Kind Distribution. Finally, if a Unit holder's
pro rata interest in an Equity Security does not equal a whole
share, he may receive entirely cash in exchange for his pro rata
portion of a particular Equity Security. In such case, taxable
gain or loss is measured by comparing the amount of cash received
by the Unit holder with his tax basis in such Equity Security.
Because a Trust will own many Equity Securities, a Unit holder
who requests an In-Kind Distribution will have to analyze the
tax consequences with respect to each Equity Security owned by
such Trust. In analyzing the tax consequences with respect to
each Equity Security, such Unit holder must allocate the Distribution
Expenses among the Equity Securities (the "Allocable Expenses").
The Allocable Expenses will reduce the amount realized with respect
to each Equity Security so that the fair market value of the shares
of such Equity Security received (if any) and cash received in
lieu thereof (as a result of any fractional shares) by such Unit
holder should equal the amount realized for purposes of determining
the applicable tax consequences in connection with an In-Kind
Distribution. A Unit holder's tax basis in shares of such Equity
Security received will be increased by the Allocable Expenses
relating to such Equity Security. The amount of taxable gain (or
loss) recognized upon such exchange will generally equal the sum
of the gain (or loss) recognized under the rules described above
by such Unit holder with respect to each Equity Security owned
by a Trust. Unit holders who request an In-Kind Distribution are
advised to consult their tax advisers in this regard.
As discussed in "Rights of Unit Holders-Special Redemption, Liquidation
and Investment in a New Trust," a Unit holder may elect to become
a Rollover Unit holder. To the extent a Rollover Unit holder exchanges
his Units for Units of either 1996 Trust in a taxable transaction,
such Unit holder will recognize gains, if any, but generally will
not be entitled to a deduction for any losses recognized upon
the disposition of any Equity Securities pursuant to such exchange
to the extent that such Unit holder is considered the owner of
substantially identical securities under the wash sale provisions
of the Code taking into account such Unit holder's deemed ownership
of the securities underlying the Units in such 1996 Trust in the
manner described above, if such substantially identical securities
were acquired within a period beginning 30 days before and ending
30 days after such disposition under the wash sale provisions
contained in Section 1091 of the Code. In the event a loss is
disallowed under the wash sale provisions, special rules contained
in Section 1091(d) of the Code apply to determine the Unit holder's
tax basis in the securities acquired. Rollover Unit holders are
advised to consult their tax advisers.
General. Each Unit holder will be requested to provide the Unit
holder's taxpayer identification number to the Trustee and to
certify that the Unit holder has not been notified that payments
to the Unit holder are subject to back-up withholding. If the
proper taxpayer identification number and appropriate certification
are not provided when requested, distributions by a Trust to such
Unit holder (including amounts received upon the redemption of
Units) will be subject to back-up withholding. Distributions by
a Trust will generally be subject to United States income taxation
and withholding in the case of Units held by non-resident alien
individuals,
Page 13
foreign corporations or other non-United States persons. Such
persons should consult their tax advisers.
Unit holders will be notified annually of the amounts of income
dividends includable in the Unit holder's gross income and amounts
of Trust expenses which may be claimed as itemized deductions.
Dividend income and long-term capital gains may also be subject
to state and local taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers
for specific information on the tax consequences of particular
types of distributions.
Unit holders desiring to purchase Units for tax-deferred plans
and IRAs should consult their broker for details on establishing
such accounts. Units may also be purchased by persons who already
have self-directed plans established. See "Why are Investments
in the Trusts Suitable for Retirement Plans?"
In the opinion of Carter, Ledyard & Milburn, Special Counsel to
the Trusts for New York tax matters, under the existing income
tax laws of the State of New York, each Trust is not an association
taxable as a corporation and the income of each Trust will be
treated as the income of the Unit holders thereof.
Why are Investments in the Trusts Suitable for Retirement Plans?
Units of the Trusts may be well suited for purchase by Individual
Retirement Accounts, Keogh Plans, pension funds and other tax-deferred
retirement plans. Generally, the Federal income tax relating to
capital gains and income received in each of the foregoing plans
is deferred until distributions are received. Distributions from
such plans are generally treated as ordinary income but may, in
some cases, be eligible for special averaging or tax-deferred
rollover treatment. Investors considering participation in any
such plan should review specific tax laws related thereto and
should consult their attorneys or tax advisers with respect to
the establishment and maintenance of any such plan. Such plans
are offered by brokerage firms and other financial institutions.
Fees and charges with respect to such plans may vary.
PORTFOLIO
What are Equity Securities?
Target 5 Trust, Series 2 consists of the five companies with the
lowest per share stock price of the ten companies in the Dow Jones
Industrial Average ("DJIA") (which is unaffiliated with the Sponsor)
having the highest dividend yield as of the opening of business
on the date of this Prospectus. Target 10 Trust, Series 8 consists
of ten common stocks in the DJIA having the highest dividend yield
as of the opening of business on the date of this Prospectus.
The yield for each Equity Security was calculated by annualizing
the last quarterly or semi-annual ordinary dividend declared and
dividing the result by the market value of the Equity Security
as of the opening of business on the date of this Prospectus.
An investment in a Trust involves the purchase of a quality portfolio
of attractive equities with high dividend yields in one convenient
purchase. Investing in DJIA stocks with the highest dividend yields
may be effective in achieving the Trusts' investment objectives
because regular dividends are common for established companies
and dividends have accounted for a substantial portion of the
total return on DJIA stocks as a group.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average comprises 30 common stocks chosen
by the editors of The Wall Street Journal as representative of
the broad market and of American industry. The companies are major
factors in their industries and their stocks are widely held by
individuals and institutional investors. Changes in the components
of the DJIA are made entirely by the editors of The Wall Street
Journal without consultation with the companies, the stock exchange
or any official agency. For the sake of continuity, changes are
made rarely. Most substitutions have been the result of mergers,
but from time to time, changes may be made to achieve a better
representation. The components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
may be changed at any time for any reason. Any changes in the
components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the date
of this Prospectus will not cause a change in the identity of
the common stocks included in the Trust Portfolios, including
any additional Equity Securities deposited in a Trust.
Investors should note that the above criteria were applied to
the Equity Securities selected for inclusion in the Trust Portfolios
as of the opening of business on the date of this Prospectus.
Since the Sponsor may deposit additional Equity Securities which
were originally selected through this process, the Sponsor may
continue to sell Units of the Trusts even though the yields on
these Equity Securities may have changed subsequent to the Initial
Date of Deposit, the Equity Securities may no longer be included
in the Dow Jones Industrial Average or in the case of Target 5
Trust, Series 2 the common stocks may no longer be the five lowest
Page 14
priced per share, and therefore the Equity Securities would no
longer be chosen for deposit into the Trusts if the selection
process were to be made again at a later time.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, Historical Perspective
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was first published in The Wall
Street Journal in 1896. Initially consisting of just 12 stocks,
the DJIA expanded to 20 stocks in 1916 and its present size of
30 stocks on October 1, 1928. The companies which make up the
DJIA have remained relatively constant over the life of the DJIA.
Taking into account name changes, 9 of the original DJIA companies
are still in the DJIA today. For two periods of 17 consecutive
years, March 14, 1939-July 1956 and June 1, 1959-August 6, 1976,
there were no changes to the list. The following is a comparison
of the list as it appeared on October 1, 1928 and the current
DJIA.

(1) The Five Lowest Priced Stocks of the Ten Highest Yielding
DJIA Stocks for any given period were selected by ranking the
dividend yields for each of the stocks in the DJIA as of the beginning
of the period, based upon an annualization of the last quarterly
or semi-annual ordinary dividend distribution (which would have
been declared in the preceding year) divided by that stock's market
value on the first trading day on the New York Stock Exchange
in the given period.
(2) Appreciation for the Five Lowest Priced Stocks of the Ten
Highest Yielding DJIA Stocks ("Stocks") is calculated by subtracting
the market value of the Stocks as of the first trading day on
the New York Stock Exchange in a given period from the market
value of the Stocks as of the last trading day in that period,
and dividing the result by the market value of the Stocks as of
the first trading day in that period. Appreciation for the DJIA
is calculated by subtracting the opening value of the DJIA as
of the first trading day in a given period from the closing value
of the DJIA as of the last trading day in that period, and dividing
the result by the opening value of the DJIA as of the first trading
day in that period.
(3) Actual Dividend Yield for the Stocks is calculated by adding
the total dividends received on the Stocks in a given period and
dividing the result by the market value of the Stocks as of the
first trading day in that period. Actual Dividend Yield for the
DJIA is calculated by taking the total dividends credited to the
DJIA and dividing the result by the opening value of the DJIA
as of the first trading day of the period.
(4) Total Return represents the sum of Appreciation and Actual
Dividend Yield. Total Return does not take into consideration
any sales charges, commissions, expenses or taxes. Total Return
does not take into consideration any reinvestment of dividend
income. Based on the year-by-year returns contained in the table,
over the last 20 years, the Five Lowest Priced Stocks of the Ten
Highest Yielding DJIA Stocks achieved an average annual total
return of 22.03%, as compared to the average annual total return
of all of the stocks in the DJIA, which was 14.32%. These stocks
also had a higher average dividend yield in each of the last 20
years and outperformed the DJIA in 16 of these years. Although
the Trust seeks to achieve a better performance than the DJIA,
there can be no assurance that the Trust will outperform the DJIA
over its one-year life or over consecutive rollover periods, if
available.

over the last 20 years, the Ten Highest Yielding DJIA Stocks achieved
an average annual total return of 18.31%, as compared to the average
annual total return of all of the stocks in the DJIA, which was
14.32%. These stocks also had a higher average dividend yield
in each of the last 20 years and outperformed the DJIA in 14 of

the DJIA over its one-year life or over consecutive rollover periods,
if available.

Please refer to the APPENDIX following the last page of this document
for details on the chart included at this point.
The returns shown above are not guarantees of future performance
and should not be used as a predictor of returns to be expected
in connection with a Trust Portfolio. Both stock prices (which
may appreciate or depreciate) and dividends (which may be increased,
reduced or eliminated) will affect the returns. As indicated in
the previous tables, the Ten Highest Yielding DJIA Stocks, including
the Five Lowest Priced Stocks of the Ten Highest Yielding DJIA
Stocks, underperformed the DJIA in certain years and there can
be no assurance that a Trust's Portfolio will outperform the DJIA
over the life of a Trust or over consecutive rollover periods,
if available. A Holder of Units in a Trust would not necessarily
realize as high a Total Return on an investment in the stocks
upon which the returns shown above are based. The Total Return
figures shown above do not reflect sales charges, commissions,
Trust expenses or taxes, and a Trust may not be able to invest
equally in the Ten Highest Yielding DJIA Stocks or the Five Lowest
Priced Stocks of the Ten Highest Yielding DJIA Stocks and may
not be fully invested at all times. See "What are the Equity Securities
Selected for Target 5 Trust, Series 2?"and "What are the Equity
Securities Selected for Target 10 Trust, Series 8?"
Page 20
What are Some Additional Considerations for Investors?
The Trusts consist of different issues of Equity Securities, all
of which are listed on a national securities exchange. In addition,
each of the companies whose Equity Securities are included in
a portfolio are actively traded, well established corporations.
A Trust consists of such of the Equity Securities listed under
"Schedule of Investments" as may continue to be held from time to
time in such Trust and any additional Equity Securities acquired and
held by such Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement
together with cash held in the Income and Capital Accounts. Neither
the Sponsor nor the Trustee shall be liable in any way for any failure
in any of the Equity Securities. However, should any contract for the
purchase of any of the Equity Securities initially deposited hereunder
fail, the Sponsor will, unless substantially all of the moneys held in
a Trust to cover such purchase are reinvested in substitute Equity
Securities in accordance with the Trust Agreement, refund the cash and
sales charge attributable to such failed contract to all Unit holders
on the next distribution date.
Risk Factors. Because certain of the Equity Securities from time
to time may be sold under certain circumstances described herein,
and because the proceeds from such events will be distributed
to Unit holders and will not be reinvested, no assurance can be
given that a Trust will retain for any length of time its present
size and composition. Although the Portfolios are not managed,
the Sponsor may instruct the Trustee to sell Equity Securities
under certain limited circumstances. Pursuant to the Indenture
and with limited exceptions, the Trustee may sell any securities
or other property acquired in exchange for Equity Securities such
as those acquired in connection with a merger or other transaction.
If offered such new or exchanged securities or property, the Trustee
shall reject the offer. However, in the event such securities or
property are nonetheless acquired by a Trust, they may be accepted
for deposit in such Trust and either sold by the Trustee or held
in such Trust pursuant to the direction of the Sponsor (who may
rely on the advice of the Portfolio Supervisor). See "How May
Equity Securities be Removed from a Trust?" Equity Securities,
however, will not be sold by a Trust to take advantage of market
fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation or
depreciation or if the Equity Securities are no longer among the
ten common stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average with the
highest dividend yield, including the five lowest priced of the
ten common stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average with the
highest dividend yield.
Whether or not the Equity Securities are listed on a national
securities exchange, the principal trading market for the Equity
Securities may be in the over-the-counter market. As a result,
the existence of a liquid trading market for the Equity Securities
may depend on whether dealers will make a market in the Equity
Securities. There can be no assurance that a market will be made
for any of the Equity Securities, that any market for the Equity
Securities will be maintained or of the liquidity of the Equity
Securities in any markets made. In addition, a Trust may be restricted
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 from selling Equity Securities
to the Sponsor. The price at which the Equity Securities may be
sold to meet redemptions, and the value of a Trust, will be adversely
affected if trading markets for the Equity Securities are limited
or absent.
An investment in Units should be made with an understanding of the
risks which an investment in common stocks entails, including the risk
that the financial condition of the issuers of the Equity Securities or
the general condition of the common stock market may worsen and the value
of the Equity Securities and therefore the value of the Units may decline.
Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market movements
and to volatile increases and decreases of value as market confidence in
and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on
unpredictable factors including expectations regarding government,
economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates,
economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political,
economic or banking crises. Shareholders of common stocks have rights
to receive payments from the issuers of those common stocks that
are generally subordinate to those of creditors of, or holders
of debt obligations or preferred stocks of, such issuers. Shareholders
of common stocks of the type held by the Trusts have a right to
receive dividends only when and if, and in the amounts, declared
by the issuer's board of directors and have a right to participate
in amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after
all other claims on the issuer have been paid or provided for.
Common stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer and,
therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or provide the
same degree of protection of capital as do debt securities. The
issuance of additional debt securities
Page 21
or preferred stock will create prior claims for payment of principal,
interest and dividends which could adversely affect the ability
and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its
common stock or the rights of holders of common stock with respect
to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. The value
of common stocks is subject to market fluctuations for as long
as the common stocks remain outstanding, and thus the value of
the Equity Securities in a Portfolio may be expected to fluctuate
over the life of a Trust to values higher or lower than those
prevailing on the Initial Date of Deposit.
Holders of common stocks incur more risk than holders of preferred
stocks and debt obligations because common stockholders, as owners
of the entity, have generally inferior rights to receive payments
from the issuer in comparison with the rights of creditors of,
or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks issued by,
the issuer. Cumulative preferred stock dividends must be paid
before common stock dividends and any cumulative preferred stock
dividend omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders
of cumulative preferred stock. Preferred stockholders are also
generally entitled to rights on liquidation which are senior to
those of common stockholders.
Unit holders will be unable to dispose of any of the Equity Securities
in a Portfolio, as such, and will not be able to vote the Equity
Securities. As the holder of the Equity Securities, the Trustee
will have the right to vote all of the voting stocks in a Trust
and will vote such stocks in accordance with the instructions
of the Sponsor.
Investors should be aware of certain other considerations before
making a decision to invest in a Trust.
The value of the Equity Securities will fluctuate over the life
of a Trust and may be more or less than the price at which they
were deposited in such Trust. The Equity Securities may appreciate
or depreciate in value (or pay dividends) depending on the full
range of economic and market influences affecting these securities,
including the impact of the Sponsor's purchase and sale of the
Equity Securities (especially during the primary offering period
of Units of a Trust and during the Special Redemption and Liquidation
Period) and other factors.
The Sponsor and the Trustee shall not be liable in any way for
any default, failure or defect in any Equity Security. In the
event of a notice that any Equity Security will not be delivered
("Failed Contract Obligations") to a Trust, the Sponsor is authorized
under the Indenture to direct the Trustee to acquire other Equity
Securities ("Replacement Securities"). Any Replacement Security
will be identical to those which were the subject of the failed
contract. The Replacement Securities must be purchased within
20 days after delivery of the notice of a failed contract and
the purchase price may not exceed the amount of funds reserved
for the purchase of the Failed Contract Obligations.
If the right of limited substitution described in the preceding
paragraphs is not utilized to acquire Replacement Securities in
the event of a failed contract, the Sponsor will refund the sales
charge attributable to such Failed Contract Obligations to all
Unit holders of a Trust and the Trustee will distribute the principal
attributable to such Failed Contract Obligations not more than
120 days after the date on which the Trustee received a notice
from the Sponsor that a Replacement Security would not be deposited
in such Trust. In addition, Unit holders should be aware that,
at the time of receipt of such principal, they may not be able
to reinvest such proceeds in other securities at a yield equal
to or in excess of the yield which such proceeds would have earned
for Unit holders of a Trust.
The Indenture also authorizes the Sponsor to increase the size
of a Trust and the number of Units thereof by the deposit of additional
Equity Securities in such Trust and the issuance of a corresponding
number of additional Units.
Each Trust consists of the Equity Securities listed under "Schedule
of Investments" (or contracts to purchase such Securities) as
may continue to be held from time to time in such Trust and any
additional Equity Securities acquired and held by such Trust pursuant
to the provisions of the Indenture (including provisions with
respect to deposits into such Trust of Equity Securities in connection
with the issuance of additional Units).
Once all of the Equity Securities in a Trust are acquired, the
Trustee will have no power to vary the investments of such Trust,
i.e., the Trustee will have no managerial power to take advantage
of market variations to improve a Unit holder's investment, but
may dispose of Equity Securities only under limited circumstances.
See "How May Equity Securities be Removed from a Trust?"
Page 22
To the best of the Sponsor's knowledge, there is no litigation
pending as of the Initial Date of Deposit in respect of any Equity
Security which might reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Trusts. At any time after the Initial Date
of Deposit, litigation may be instituted on a variety of grounds
with respect to the Equity Securities. The Sponsor is unable to
predict whether any such litigation will be instituted, or if
instituted, whether such litigation might have a material adverse
effect on the Trusts.
Petroleum Refining Companies. Target 10 Trust, Series 8 may be
considered to be concentrated in common stocks of companies engaged
in refining and marketing oil and related products. According
to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the factors which will most
likely shape the industry to 1996 and beyond include the price
and availability of oil from the Middle East, changes in United
States environmental policies and the continued decline in U.S.
production of crude oil. Possible effects of these factors may
be increased U.S. and world dependence on oil from the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and highly uncertain
and potentially more volatile oil prices. Factors which the Sponsor
believes may increase the profitability of oil and petroleum operations
include increasing demand for oil and petroleum products as a
result of the continued increases in annual miles driven and the
improvement in refinery operating margins caused by increases
in average domestic refinery utilization rates. The existence
of surplus crude oil production capacity and the willingness to
adjust production levels are the two principal requirements for
stable crude oil markets. Without excess capacity, supply disruptions
in some countries cannot be compensated for by others. Surplus
capacity in Saudi Arabia and a few other countries and the utilization
of that capacity prevented during the Persian Gulf crisis, and
continue to prevent, severe market disruption. Although unused
capacity contributed to market stability in 1990 and 1991, it
ordinarily creates pressure to overproduce and contributes to
market uncertainty. The likely restoration of a large portion
of Kuwait and Iraq's production and export capacity over the next
few years could lead to such a development in the absence of substantial
growth in world oil demand. Formerly, OPEC members attempted to
exercise control over production levels in each country through
a system of mandatory production quotas. Because of the crisis
in the Middle East, the mandatory system has since been replaced
with a voluntary system. Production under the new system has had
to be curtailed on at least one occasion as a result of weak prices,
even in the absence of supplies from Kuwait and Iraq. The pressure
to deviate from mandatory quotas, if they are reimposed, is likely
to be substantial and could lead to a weakening of prices. In
the longer term, additional capacity and production will be required
to accommodate the expected large increases in world oil demand
and to compensate for expected sharp drops in U.S. crude oil production
and exports from the Soviet Union. Only a few OPEC countries,
particularly Saudi Arabia, have the petroleum reserves that will
allow the required increase in production capacity to be attained.
Given the large-scale financing that is required, the prospect
that such expansion will occur soon enough to meet the increased
demand is uncertain.
Declining U.S. crude oil production will likely lead to increased
dependence on OPEC oil, putting refiners at risk of continued
and unpredictable supply disruptions. Increasing sensitivity to
environmental concerns will also pose serious challenges to the
industry over the coming decade. Refiners are likely to be required
to make heavy capital investments and make major production adjustments
in order to comply with increasingly stringent environmental legislation,
such as the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act. If the cost
of these changes is substantial enough to cut deeply into profits,
smaller refiners may be forced out of the industry entirely. Moreover,
lower consumer demand due to increases in energy efficiency and
conservation, due to gasoline reformulations that call for less
crude oil, due to warmer winters or due to a general slowdown
in economic growth in this country and abroad, could negatively
affect the price of oil and the profitability of oil companies.
No assurance can be given that the demand for or prices of oil
will increase or that any increases will not be marked by great
volatility. Some oil companies may incur large cleanup and litigation
costs relating to oil spills and other environmental damage. Oil
production and refining operations are subject to extensive federal,
state and local environmental laws and regulations governing air
emissions and the disposal of hazardous materials. Increasingly
stringent environmental laws and regulations are expected to require
companies with oil production and refining operations to devote
significant financial and managerial resources to pollution control.
General problems of the oil and petroleum products industry include
the ability of a few influential producers significantly to affect
production, the concomitant volatility of crude
Page 23
oil prices and increasing public and governmental concern over
air emissions, waste product disposal, fuel quality and the environmental
effects of fossil-fuel use in general.
In addition, any future scientific advances concerning new sources
of energy and fuels or legislative changes relating to the energy
industry or the environment could have a negative impact on the
petroleum products industry. While legislation has been enacted
to deregulate certain aspects of the oil industry, no assurances
can be given that new or additional regulations will not be adopted.
Each of the problems referred to could adversely affect the financial
stability of the issuers of any petroleum industry stocks in the Trust.
Legislation. From time to time Congress considers proposals to
reduce the rate of the dividends-received deductions. Enactment
into law of a proposal to reduce the rate would adversely affect
the after-tax return to investors who can take advantage of the
deduction. Unit holders are urged to consult their own tax advisers.
Further, at any time after the Initial Date of Deposit, legislation
may be enacted, with respect to the Equity Securities in the Trusts
or the issuers of the Equity Securities. Changing approaches to
regulation, particularly with respect to the environment or with
respect to the petroleum industry, may have a negative impact
on certain companies represented in the Trusts. There can be no
assurance that future legislation, regulation or deregulation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Trusts or will
not impair the ability of the issuers of the Equity Securities
to achieve their business goals.
PUBLIC OFFERING
How is the Public Offering Price Determined?
Units are offered at the Public Offering Price, which is based
on the aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities in
the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and the Target 10 Trust, Series 8,
respectively, plus or minus cash, if any, in the Income and Capital
Accounts of such Trust, plus an initial sales charge with respect
to each Trust equal to the difference between the maximum sales
charge for each Trust (2.75% and 2.90% of the Public Offering
Price, respectively) and the maximum remaining deferred sales
charge (initially $0.195 per Unit for each Trust) divided by the
amount of Units of such Trust outstanding. For Unit holders of
the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and the Target 10 Trust, Series 8,
commencing , 1995, and on the day of
each month thereafter, through , 1996, a deferred
sales charge of $0.0195 will be assessed per Unit. Units purchased
subsequent to the initial deferred sales charge payment will be
subject to only the remaining deferred sales charge payments.
For each Trust, the deferred sales charge will be paid from distributions
from the Equity Securities, if sufficient, or from the periodic
sale of Equity Securities. The total maximum sales charge assessed
to Unit holders on a per Unit basis will be 2.75% and 2.90% of
the Public Offering Price (equivalent to 2.772% and 2.928% of
the net amount invested) for the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and
the Target 10 Trust, Series 8, respectively.
During the initial offering period, the Sponsor's Repurchase Price
is based on the aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities
in a Trust, plus or minus cash, if any, in the Income and Capital
Accounts of such Trust divided by the number of Units of such
Trust outstanding.
The minimum purchase of each Trust is $1,000, except for Rollover
Unit holders who are not subject to a minimum purchase amount. The
applicable sales charge of the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 for primary
market sales is reduced by a discount as indicated below for volume
purchases as a percentage of the Public Offering Price (except for
sales made pursuant to a "wrap fee account" or similar arrangements
as set forth below):

The applicable sales charge of the Target 10 Trust, Series 8 for
primary market sales is reduced by a discount as indicated below
for volume purchases as a percentage of the Public Offering Price
(except for sales made pursuant to a "wrap fee account" or similar
arrangements as set forth below):

10,000 but less than 25,000 0.65% 2.25% 1.30%
</TABLE>
Any such reduced sales charge shall be the responsibility of the
selling dealer. The sales charge reduction for quantity purchases
will not apply to Rollover Unit holders. The reduced sales charge
structure will apply on all purchases of Units in a Trust by the
same person on any one day from any one dealer. Additionally,
Units purchased in the name of the spouse of a purchaser or in
the name of a child of such purchaser under 21 years of age will
be deemed, for the purposes of calculating the applicable sales
charge, to be additional purchases by the purchaser. The reduced
sales charges will also be applicable to a trustee or other fiduciary
purchasing securities for a single trust estate or single fiduciary
account. The purchaser must inform the dealer of any such combined
purchase prior to the sale in order to obtain the indicated discount.
In addition, Unit holders of other unit investment trusts having
a similar strategy as Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and Target 10 Trust,
Series 8 may utilize their redemption or termination proceeds
to purchase Units of Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and Target 10 Trust,
Series 8 subject to a deferred sales charge of $0.0195 per Unit
to be collected on each of the remaining deferred sales charge
payment dates as provided herein. With respect to the employees,
officers and directors (including their immediate family members,
defined as spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents,
mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law,
and trustees, custodians or fiduciaries for the benefit of such
persons) of the Sponsor, dealers and their affiliates, will be
subject only to the deferred portion of the sales charge as described
above for each Trust for purchases of Units during the primary
and secondary public offering periods.
Units may be purchased in the primary or secondary market at the
Public Offering Price less the concession the Sponsor typically
allows to dealers and other selling agents for purchases (see
"Public Offering-How are Units Distributed?") by investors who
purchase Units through registered investment advisers, certified
financial planners or registered broker-dealers who in each case
either charge periodic fees for financial planning, investment
advisory or asset management services, or provide such services
in connection with the establishment of an investment account
for which a comprehensive "wrap fee" charge is imposed.
Had the Units of the Trusts been available for sale on the business
day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public Offering
Price would have been as indicated in "Summary of Essential Information."
The Public Offering Price of Units on the date of the prospectus
or during the initial offering period may vary from the amount
stated under "Summary of Essential Information" in accordance
with fluctuations in the prices of the underlying Equity Securities.
During the initial offering period, the aggregate value of the
Units of a Trust shall be determined on the basis of the aggregate
underlying value of the Equity Securities therein plus or minus
cash, if any, in the Income and Capital Accounts of such Trust.
The aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities will be
determined in the following manner: if the Equity Securities are
listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National
Market System, this evaluation is generally based on the closing
sale prices on that exchange or that system (unless it is determined
that these prices are inappropriate as a basis for valuation)
or, if there is no closing sale price on that exchange or system,
at the closing ask prices. If the Equity Securities are not so
listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefor is other
than on the exchange, the evaluation shall generally be based
on the current ask prices on the over-the-counter market (unless
it is determined that these prices are inappropriate as a basis
for evaluation). If current ask prices are unavailable, the evaluation
is generally determined (a) on the basis of current ask prices
for comparable securities, (b) by appraising the value of the
Equity Securities on the ask side of the market or (c) by any
combination of the above.
Page 25
After the completion of the initial offering period, the secondary
market Public Offering Price will be equal to the aggregate underlying
value of the Equity Securities therein, plus or minus cash, if
any, in the Income and Capital Accounts of a Trust plus the applicable
sales charge.
Although payment is normally made five business days following
the order for purchase, payment may be made prior thereto. A person
will become owner of Units on the date of settlement provided
payment has been received. Cash, if any, made available to the
Sponsor prior to the date of settlement for the purchase of Units
may be used in the Sponsor's business and may be deemed to be
a benefit to the Sponsor, subject to the limitations of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Delivery of Certificates representing Units
so ordered will be made five business days following such order
or shortly thereafter. See "Rights of Unit Holders-How May Units
be Redeemed?" for information regarding the ability to redeem
Units ordered for purchase.
How are Units Distributed?
During the initial offering period (i) for Units issued on the
Initial Date of Deposit and (ii) for additional Units issued after
such date as additional Equity Securities are deposited by the
Sponsor, Units will be distributed to the public at the then current
Public Offering Price. During such period, the Sponsor may deposit
additional Equity Securities in a Trust and create additional
Units. Units reacquired by the Sponsor during the initial offering
period (at prices based upon the aggregate underlying value of
the Equity Securities in a Trust plus or minus a pro rata share
of cash, if any in the Income and Capital Accounts of such Trust)
may be resold at the then current Public Offering Price. Upon
the termination of the initial offering period, unsold Units created
or reacquired during the initial offering period will be sold
or resold at the then current Public Offering Price.
Upon completion of the initial offering, Units repurchased in
the secondary market (see "Will There be a Secondary Market?")
may be offered by this prospectus at the secondary market public
offering price determined in the manner described above.
It is the intention of the Sponsor to qualify Units of the Trusts
for sale in a number of states. With respect to the Target 5 Trust,
Series 2, sales will be made to dealers and others at prices which
represent a concession or agency commission of 1.80% of the Public
Offering Price for primary and secondary market sales. With respect
to the Target 10 Trust, Series 8, sales will be made to dealers
and others at prices which represent a concession or agency commission
of 2.00% of the Public Offering Price for primary and secondary
market sales. Dealers and others will receive a concession or
agency commission of 1.0% of the Public Offering Price on purchases
by Rollover Unit holders. However, resales of Units of the Trusts
by such dealers and others to the public will be made at the Public
Offering Price described in the prospectus. The Sponsor reserves
the right to change the amount of the concession or agency commission
from time to time. Certain commercial banks may be making Units
of the Trusts available to their customers on an agency basis.
A portion of the sales charge paid by these customers is retained
by or remitted to the banks in the amounts indicated above. Under
the Glass-Steagall Act, banks are prohibited from underwriting
Trust Units; however, the Glass-Steagall Act does permit certain
agency transactions and the banking regulators have not indicated
that these particular agency transactions are not permitted under
such Act. In Texas and in certain other states, any banks making
Units available must be registered as broker/dealers under state
law. The Sponsor expects to recoup the foregoing payments from
the deferred sales charge payments related to such Trusts. In
the event the Sponsor reacquires, or the Trustee redeems, Units
from brokers, dealers and others while a market is being maintained
for such Units, such entities agree to repay immediately to the
Sponsor any such additional compensation relating to such reacquired
Units.
From time to time the Sponsor may implement programs under which
dealers of a Trust may receive nominal awards from the Sponsor
for each of their registered representatives who have sold a minimum
number of UIT Units during a specified time period. In addition,
at various times the Sponsor may implement other programs under
which the sales force of a dealer may be eligible to win other
nominal awards for certain sales efforts, or under which the Sponsor
will reallow to any such dealer that sponsors sales contests or
recognition programs conforming to criteria established by the
Sponsor, or participates in sales programs sponsored by the Sponsor,
an amount not exceeding the total applicable sales charges on
the sales generated by such person at the public offering price
during such programs. Also, the Sponsor in its discretion may
from time to time pursuant to objective criteria established by
Page 26
the Sponsor pay fees to qualifying dealers for certain services
or activities which are primarily intended to result in sales
of Units of the Trusts. Such payments are made by the Sponsor
out of its own assets, and not out of the assets of a Trust. These
programs will not change the price Unit holders pay for their Units
or the amount that a Trust will receive from the Units sold.
The Sponsor may from time to time in its advertising and sales
materials compare the then current estimated returns on a Trust
and returns over specified periods on other similar Trusts sponsored
by Nike Securities L.P. with returns on other taxable investments
such as the common stocks comprising the Dow Jones Industrial
Average, corporate or U.S. Government bonds, bank CDs and money
market accounts or money market funds, each of which has investment
characteristics that may differ from those of the Trusts. U.S.
Government bonds, for example, are backed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Government and bank CDs and money market accounts
are insured by an agency of the federal government. Money market
accounts and money market funds provide stability of principal,
but pay interest at rates that vary with the condition of the
short-term debt market. The investment characteristics of each
Trust are described more fully elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Advertisements and other sales material for the Trusts may also
show the total returns (price changes plus dividends received,
divided by the maximum public offering price) of each completed
prior series and the total and average annualized return of all
series in the same quarterly cycle, assuming the holder rolled
over at the termination of each prior series. These returns will
reflect all applicable sales charges and expenses.
Trust performance may be compared to performance on a total return
basis of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 Composite
Price Stock Index, or performance data from Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. and Morningstar Publications, Inc. or from publications
such as Money, The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report,
Business Week, Forbes or Fortune. As with other performance data,
performance comparisons should not be considered representative
of a Trust's relative performance for any future period.
What are the Sponsor's Profits?
The Sponsor of the Trusts will receive a gross sales commission
equal to a maximum of 2.75% of the Public Offering Price of the
Units (equivalent to 2.772% of the net amount invested) with respect
to the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and and a maximum of 2.90% of
the Public Offering Price of the Units (equivalent to 2.928% of
the net amount invested) with respect to the Target 10 Trust,
Series 8, less any reduced sales charge for quantity purchases
as described under "Public Offering-How is the Public Offering
Price Determined?" In addition, the Sponsor may be considered
to have realized a profit or to have sustained a loss, as the
case may be, in the amount of any difference between the cost
of the Equity Securities to a Trust (which is based on the Evaluator's
determination of the aggregate offering price of the underlying
Equity Securities of such Trust on the Initial Date of Deposit
as well as on subsequent deposits) and the cost of such Equity
Securities to the Sponsor. See Note (2) of "Schedule of Investments"
for each Trust. During the initial offering period, the dealers
and others also may realize profits or sustain losses as a result
of fluctuations after the Date of Deposit in the Public Offering
Price received by such dealers and others upon the sale of Units.
In maintaining a market for the Units, the Sponsor will also realize
profits or sustain losses in the amount of any difference between
the price at which Units are purchased and the price at which
Units are resold (which price includes a maximum sales charge
of 2.75% with respect to the Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and 2.90%
with respect to the Target 10 Trust, Series 8) or redeemed. The
secondary market public offering price of Units may be greater
or less than the cost of such Units to the Sponsor. The Sponsor
may also realize profits or sustain losses in connection with
the creation of additional Units for the Distribution Reinvestment
Option.
Will There be a Secondary Market?
After the initial offering period, although it is not obligated
to do so, the Sponsor intends to maintain a market for the Units
and continuously offer to purchase Units at prices, subject to
change at any time, based upon the aggregate underlying value
of the Equity Securities in a Trust plus or minus cash, if any,
in the Income and Capital Accounts of such Trust. All expenses
incurred in maintaining a secondary market, other than the fees
of the Evaluator and the costs of the Trustee in transferring
and recording the ownership of Units, will be borne by the Sponsor.
If the supply of Units exceeds demand, or for some other business
Page 27
reason, the Sponsor may discontinue purchases of Units at such prices.
IF A UNIT HOLDER WISHES TO DISPOSE OF HIS UNITS, HE SHOULD INQUIRE
OF THE SPONSOR AS TO CURRENT MARKET PRICES PRIOR TO MAKING A TENDER
FOR REDEMPTION TO THE TRUSTEE.
RIGHTS OF UNIT HOLDERS
How is Evidence of Ownership Issued and Transferred?
The Trustee is authorized to treat as the record owner of Units
that person who is registered as such owner on the books of the
Trustee. Ownership of Units may be evidenced by registered certificates
executed by the Trustee and the Sponsor. Delivery of certificates
representing Units ordered for purchase is normally made five
business days following such order or shortly thereafter. Certificates
are transferable by presentation and surrender to the Trustee
properly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer. Certificates to be redeemed must be properly endorsed
or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer.
A Unit holder must sign exactly as his name appears on the face
of the certificate with signature guaranteed by a participant
in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program ("STAMP")
or such other signature guaranty program in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP, as may be accepted by the Trustee. In
certain instances the Trustee may require additional documents
such as, but not limited to, trust instruments, certificates of
death, appointments as executor or administrator or certificates
of corporate authority. Record ownership may occur before settlement.
Certificates will be issued in fully registered form, transferable
only on the books of the Trustee in denominations of one Unit
or any multiple thereof, numbered serially for purposes of identification.
Unit holders may elect to hold their Units in uncertificated form.
Only Unit holders who elect to hold Units in uncertificated form
are eligible to participate as a Rollover Unit holder. The Trustee
will maintain an account for each such Unit holder and will credit
each such account with the number of Units purchased by that Unit
holder. Within two business days of the issuance or transfer of
Units held in uncertificated form, the Trustee will send to the
registered owner of Units a written initial transaction statement
containing a description of a Trust; the number of Units issued
or transferred; the name, address and taxpayer identification
number, if any, of the new registered owner; a notation of any
liens and restrictions of the issuer and any adverse claims to
which such Units are or may be subject or a statement that there
are no such liens, restrictions or adverse claims; and the date
the transfer was registered. Uncertificated Units are transferable
through the same procedures applicable to Units evidenced by certificates
(described above), except that no certificate need be presented
to the Trustee and no certificate will be issued upon the transfer
unless requested by the Unit holder. A Unit holder may at any
time request the Trustee to issue certificates for Units.
Although no such charge is now made or contemplated, a Unit holder
may be required to pay $2.00 to the Trustee per certificate reissued
or transferred and to pay any governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with each such transfer or exchange. For
new certificates issued to replace destroyed, stolen or lost certificates,
the Unit holder may be required to furnish indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee and pay such expenses as the Trustee may incur.
Mutilated certificates must be surrendered to the Trustee for replacement.
How are Income and Capital Distributed?
The Trustee will distribute any net income received with respect
to any of the securities in a Trust on or about the Income Distribution
Dates to Unit holders of record on the preceding Income Record
Date. See "Summary of Essential Information." Persons who purchase
Units will commence receiving distributions only after such person
becomes a Record Owner. Notification to the Trustee of the transfer
of Units is the responsibility of the purchaser, but in the normal
course of business such notice is provided by the selling broker-dealer.
Proceeds received on the sale of any Equity Securities in a Trust,
to the extent not used to meet redemptions of Units, pay the deferred
sales charge or pay expenses, will, however, be distributed on
the last day of each month to Unit holders of record on the fifteenth
day of each month if the amount available for distribution equals
at least $0.01 per Unit. The Trustee is not required to pay interest
on funds held in the Capital Account of a Trust (but may itself
earn interest thereon and therefore benefit from the use of such
funds). Notwithstanding, distributions of funds in the Capital
Account, if any, will be made as part of the final liquidation
Page 28
distribution, and in certain circumstances, earlier. See "What
is the Federal Tax Status of Unit Holders?"
Under regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the
Trustee is required to withhold a specified percentage of any
distribution made by a Trust if the Trustee has not been furnished
the Unit holder's tax identification number in the manner required
by such regulations. Any amount so withheld is transmitted to
the Internal Revenue Service and may be recovered by the Unit
holder under certain circumstances by contacting the Trustee,
otherwise the amount may be recoverable only when filing a tax
return. Under normal circumstances the Trustee obtains the Unit
holder's tax identification number from the selling broker. However,
a Unit holder should examine his or her statements from the Trustee
to make sure that the Trustee has been provided a certified tax
identification number in order to avoid this possible "back-up
withholding." In the event the Trustee has not been previously
provided such number, one should be provided as soon as possible.
Within a reasonable time after a Trust is terminated, each Unit
holder who is not a Rollover Unit holder will, upon surrender
of his Units for redemption, receive (i) the pro rata share of
the amounts realized upon the disposition of Equity Securities,
unless he elects an In-Kind Distribution as described below and
(ii) a pro rata share of any other assets of such Trust, less
expenses of such Trust. Not less than 30 days prior to the Mandatory
Termination Date of a Trust the Trustee will provide written notice
thereof to all Unit holders and will include with such notice
a form to enable Unit holders to elect a distribution of shares
of Equity Securities (an "In-Kind Distribution"), if such Unit
holder owns at least 2,500 Units of such Trust, rather than to
receive payment in cash for such Unit holder's pro rata share
of the amounts realized upon the disposition by the Trustee of
Equity Securities. An In-Kind Distribution will be reduced by
customary transfer and registration charges. To be effective,
the election form, together with surrendered certificates and
other documentation required by the Trustee, must be returned
to the Trustee at least five business days prior to the Mandatory
Termination Date of a Trust. A Unit holder may, of course, at
any time after the Equity Securities are distributed, sell all
or a portion of the shares.
The Trustee will credit to the Income Account of a Trust any dividends
received on the Equity Securities therein. All other receipts
(e.g., return of capital, etc.) are credited to the Capital Account
of a Trust.
The Trustee may establish reserves (the "Reserve Account") within
a Trust for state and local taxes, if any, and any governmental
charges payable out of such Trust.
Distribution Reinvestment Option. Any Unit holder may elect to
have each distribution of income or capital on his Units, other
than the final liquidating distribution in connection with the
termination of a Trust, automatically reinvested in additional
Units of such Trust. Each person who purchases Units of a Trust
may elect to become a participant in the Distribution Reinvestment
Option by notifying the Trustee of their election. The Distribution
Reinvestment Option may not be available in all states. In order
to enable a Unit holder to participate in the Distribution Reinvestment
Option with respect to a particular distribution on his Units,
the card must be received by the Trustee within 10 days prior
to the Record Date for such distribution. Each subsequent distribution
of income or capital on the participant's Units will be automatically
applied by the Trustee to purchase additional Units of a Trust.
The remaining deferred sales charge payments will be assessed
on Units acquired pursuant to the Distributions Reinvestment Option.
IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT EVEN IF DISTRIBUTIONS ARE REINVESTED,
THEY ARE STILL TREATED AS DISTRIBUTIONS FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
What Reports will Unit Holders Receive?
The Trustee shall furnish Unit holders in connection with each
distribution a statement of the amount of income, if any, and
the amount of other receipts, if any, which are being distributed,
expressed in each case as a dollar amount per Unit. Within a reasonable
period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall furnish to each person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Unit holder of a Trust the following information in
reasonable detail: (1) a summary of transactions in such Trust
for such year; (2) any Equity Securities sold during the year
and the Equity Securities held at the end of such year by such
Trust; (3) the redemption price per Unit based upon a computation
thereof on the 31st day of December of such year (or the last
business day prior thereto); and (4) amounts of income and capital
distributed during such year.
Page 29
In order to comply with Federal and state tax reporting requirements,
Unit holders will be furnished, upon request to the Trustee, evaluations
of the Securities in a Trust furnished to it by the Evaluator.
How May Units be Redeemed?
A Unit holder may redeem all or a portion of his Units by tender
to the Trustee at its corporate trust office in the City of New
York of the certificates representing the Units to be redeemed,
or in the case of uncertificated Units, delivery of a request
for redemption, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments
of transfer with signature guaranteed as explained above (or by
providing satisfactory indemnity, as in connection with lost,
stolen or destroyed certificates), and payment of applicable governmental
charges, if any. No redemption fee will be charged. On the seventh
calendar day following such tender, or if the seventh calendar
day is not a business day, on the first business day prior thereto,
the Unit holder will be entitled to receive in cash an amount
for each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit next computed
after receipt by the Trustee of such tender of Units. The "date
of tender" is deemed to be the date on which Units are received
by the Trustee, except that as regards Units received after 4:00
p.m. eastern standard time, the date of tender is the next day
on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and such
Units will be deemed to have been tendered to the Trustee on such
day for redemption at the redemption price computed on that day.
Units so redeemed shall be cancelled. Units tendered for redemption
prior to such time as the entire deferred sales charge on such
Units has been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining
deferred sales charge at the time of redemption.
Any Unit holder tendering 2,500 Units or more of a Trust for redemption
may request by written notice submitted at the time of tender
from the Trustee in lieu of a cash redemption a distribution of
shares of Equity Securities in an amount and value of Equity Securities
per Unit equal to the Redemption Price Per Unit as determined
as of the evaluation next following tender. To the extent possible,
in-kind distributions ("In-Kind Distributions") shall be made
by the Trustee through the distribution of each of the Equity
Securities in book-entry form to the account of the Unit holder's
bank or broker-dealer at the Depository Trust Company. An In-Kind
Distribution will be reduced by customary transfer and registration
charges. The tendering Unit holder will receive his pro rata number
of whole shares of each of the Equity Securities comprising a
portfolio and cash from the Capital Account equal to the fractional
shares to which the tendering Unit holder is entitled. The Trustee
may adjust the number of shares of any issue of Equity Securities
included in a Unit holder's In-Kind Distribution to facilitate
the distribution of whole shares, such adjustment to be made on
the basis of the value of Equity Securities on the date of tender.
If funds in the Capital Account are insufficient to cover the
required cash distribution to the tendering Unit holder, the Trustee
may sell Equity Securities in the manner described above.
Under regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the
Trustee is required to withhold a specified percentage of the
principal amount of a Unit redemption if the Trustee has not been
furnished the redeeming Unit holder's tax identification number
in the manner required by such regulations. Any amount so withheld
is transmitted to the Internal Revenue Service and may be recovered
by the Unit holder only when filing a tax return. Under normal
circumstances the Trustee obtains the Unit holder's tax identification
number from the selling broker. However, any time a Unit holder
elects to tender Units for redemption, such Unit holder should
make sure that the Trustee has been provided a certified tax identification
number in order to avoid this possible "back-up withholding."
In the event the Trustee has not been previously provided such
number, one must be provided at the time redemption is requested.
Any amounts paid on redemption representing income shall be withdrawn
from the Income Account of a Trust to the extent that funds are
available for such purpose. All other amounts paid on redemption
shall be withdrawn from the Capital Account of a Trust.
The Trustee is empowered to sell Equity Securities of a Trust
in order to make funds available for redemption. To the extent
that Equity Securities are sold, the size and diversity of a Trust
will be reduced. Such sales may be required at a time when Equity
Securities would not otherwise be sold and might result in lower
prices than might otherwise be realized.
The Redemption Price per Unit and the Public Offering Price per
Unit (which includes the sales charge) during the initial offering
period (as well as the secondary market Public Offering Price)
will be determined on the basis of the aggregate underlying value
of the Equity Securities in a Trust plus or minus cash, if any,
Page 30
in the Income and Capital Accounts of such Trust. The Redemption
Price per Unit is the pro rata share of each Unit determined by
the Trustee by adding: (1) the cash on hand in a Trust other than
cash deposited in the Trust to purchase Equity Securities not
applied to the purchase of such Equity Securities; (2) the aggregate
value of the Equity Securities (including "when issued" contracts,
if any) held in such Trust, as determined by
the Evaluator on the basis of the aggregate underlying value of
the Equity Securities in such Trust next computed; and (3) dividends
receivable on the Equity Securities trading ex-dividend as of
the date of computation; and deducting therefrom: (1) amounts
representing any applicable taxes or governmental charges payable
out of such Trust; (2) any amounts owing to the Trustee for its
advances; (3) an amount representing estimated accrued expenses
of such Trust, including but not limited to fees and expenses
of the Trustee (including legal fees), the Evaluator and supervisory
fees, if any; (4) cash held for distribution to Unit holders of
record of such Trust as of the business day prior to the evaluation
being made; and (5) other liabilities incurred by such Trust; and
finally dividing the results of such computation by the number of
Units of such Trust outstanding as of the date thereof.
The aggregate value of the Equity Securities will be determined
in the following manner: if the Equity Securities are listed on
a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System,
this evaluation is generally based on the closing sale prices
on that exchange or that system (unless it is determined that
these prices are inappropriate as a basis for valuation) or, if
there is no closing sale price on that exchange or system, at
the closing bid prices. If the Equity Securities are not so listed
or, if so listed and the principal market therefore is other than
on the exchange, the evaluation shall generally be based on the
current bid prices on the over-the-counter market (unless these
prices are inappropriate as a basis for evaluation). If current
bid prices are unavailable, the evaluation is generally determined
(a) on the basis of current bid prices for comparable securities,
(b) by appraising the value of the Equity Securities on the bid
side of the market or (c) by any combination of the above.
The right of redemption may be suspended and payment postponed
for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed,
other than for customary weekend and holiday closings, or during
which the Securities and Exchange Commission determines that trading
on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted or any emergency
exists, as a result of which disposal or evaluation of the Securities
is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the
Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit. Under
certain extreme circumstances, the Sponsor may apply to the Securities
and Exchange Commission for an order permitting a full or partial
suspension of the right of Unit holders to redeem their Units.
The Trustee is not liable to any person in any way for any loss
or damage which may result from any such suspension or postponement.
Special Redemption, Liquidation and Investment in a New Trust
It is expected that a special redemption and liquidation will
be made of all Units of the Trusts held by any Unit holder (a
"Rollover Unit holder") who affirmatively notifies the Trustee
in writing that he so desires by the Rollover Notification Date
specified in the "Summary of Essential Information."
All Units of Rollover Unit holders will be redeemed In-Kind on
the first day of the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period
and the underlying Equity Securities will be distributed to the
Distribution Agent on behalf of the Rollover Unit holders. During
the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period (as set forth in
"Summary of Essential Information"), the Distribution Agent will
be required to sell all of the underlying Equity Securities on
behalf of Rollover Unit holders. The sales proceeds will be net
of brokerage fees, governmental charges or any expenses involved
in the sales.
The Distribution Agent will engage the Sponsor as its agent to
sell the distributed Equity Securities. The Sponsor will attempt
to sell the Equity Securities as quickly as is practicable during
the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period. The Sponsor does
not anticipate that the period will be longer than 10 business
days, and it could be as short as one day, given that the Equity
Securities are usually highly liquid. The liquidity of any Equity
Security depends on the daily trading volume of the Equity Security
and the amount that the Sponsor has available for sale on any
particular day.
It is expected (but not required) that the Sponsor will generally
follow the following guidelines in selling the Equity Securities:
for highly liquid Equity Securities, the Sponsor will generally
sell Equity Securities on the first day of the Special Redemption
and Liquidation Period; for less liquid Equity Securities, on
Page 31
each of the first two days of the Special Redemption and Liquidation
Period, the Sponsor will generally sell any amount of any underlying
Equity Securities at a price no less than 1/2 of one point under
the closing sale price of those Equity Securities on the preceding
day. Thereafter, the Sponsor intends to sell without any price
restrictions at least a portion of the remaining underlying Equity
Securities, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of
which is the total number of days remaining (including that day)
in the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period.
The Sponsor intends to create a separate 1996 Trust for both the
Target 5 Trust Series and the Target 10 Trust Series. The Rollover
Unit holders' proceeds will be invested in either 1996 Trust (as
selected by the Unit holder), if then registered in such state
and being offered, the portfolio of which will contain, in the
case of the Target 5 Trust Series, common stock of the five companies
with the lowest per share stock price of the ten highest dividend
yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average as of the
business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit, and in the
case of the Target 10 Trust Series, common stock of the ten highest
dividend yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average as
of the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. The
proceeds of redemption available on each day will be used to buy
1996 Trust Units as the proceeds become available.
The Sponsor intends to create 1996 Trust Units as quickly as possible,
dependent upon the availability and reasonably favorable prices
of the Equity Securities included in a 1996 Trust portfolio, and
it is intended that Rollover Unit holders will be given first
priority to purchase the 1996 Trust Units. There can be no assurance,
however, as to the exact timing of the creation of the 1996 Trust
Units or the aggregate number of 1996 Trust Units which the Sponsor
will create. The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, stop creating
new Units (whether permanently or temporarily) at any time it
chooses, regardless of whether all proceeds of the Special Redemption
and Liquidation have been invested on behalf of Rollover Unit
holders. Cash which has not been invested on behalf of the Rollover
Unit holders in 1996 Trust Units will be distributed at the end
of the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period. However, since
the Sponsor can create Units, the Sponsor anticipates that sufficient
Units can be created, although moneys in a 1996 Trust may not
be fully invested on the next business day.
Any Rollover Unit holder may thus be redeemed out of a Trust and
become a holder of an entirely different Trust, a 1996 Trust,
with a different portfolio of Equity Securities. The Rollover
Unit holders' Units will be redeemed In-Kind and the distributed
Equity Securities shall be sold during the Special Redemption
and Liquidation Period. In accordance with the Rollover Unit holders'
offer to purchase the 1996 Trust Units, the proceeds of the sales
(and any other cash distributed upon redemption) will be invested
in a 1996 Trust, at the public offering price, including the applicable
maximum sales charge per Unit (which for Rollover Unit holders
is currently expected to be $0.195 per Unit for the 1996 Series of
Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and the Target 10 Trust, Series 8, all of
which will be deferred as provided herein).
This process of redemption, liquidation, and investment in a new
Trust is intended to allow for the fact that the portfolios selected
by the Sponsor are chosen on the basis of growth and income potential
only for a year, at which point a new portfolio is chosen. It
is contemplated that a similar process of redemption, liquidation
and investment in a new trust will be available for the 1996 Trusts
and each subsequent series of the Trusts, approximately a year
after that Series' creation.
The Sponsor believes that the gradual redemption, liquidation
and investment in the Target 5 Trust Series and Target 10 Trust
Series will help mitigate any negative market price consequences
stemming from the trading of large volumes of securities and of
the underlying Equity Securities in Target 5 Trust Series and
Target 10 Trust Series in a short, publicized period of time.
The above procedures may, however, be insufficient or unsuccessful
in avoiding such price consequences. In fact, market price trends
may make it advantageous to sell or buy more quickly or more slowly
than permitted by these procedures. Rollover Unit holders could
then receive a less favorable average Unit price than if they
bought all their Units of the Target 5 Trust Series and Target
10 Trust, Series on any given day of the period.
It should also be noted that Rollover Unit holders may realize
taxable capital gains on the Special Redemption and Liquidation
but, in certain unlikely circumstances, will not be entitled to
a deduction for certain capital losses and, due to the procedures
for investing in a 1996 Trust, no cash would be distributed at
that time to pay any taxes. Included in the cash for the Special
Redemption and Liquidation will be an amount of cash attributable
to the second semi-annual distribution of dividend income; accordingly,
Page 32
Rollover Unit holders also will not have cash distributed to pay
any taxes. See "What is the Federal Tax Status of Unit holders?"
In addition, during this period a Unit holder will be at risk
to the extent that Equity Securities are not sold and will not
have the benefit of any stock appreciation to the extent that
moneys have not been invested; for this reason, the Sponsor will
be inclined to sell and purchase the Equity Securities in as short
a period as they can without materially adversely affecting the
price of the Equity Securities.
Unit holders who do not inform the Distribution Agent that they
wish to have their Units so redeemed and liquidated ("Remaining
Unit holders") will continue to hold Units of a Trust as described
in this Prospectus until such Trust is terminated or until the
Mandatory Termination Date listed in the Summary of Essential
Information, whichever occurs first. These Remaining Unit holders
will not realize capital gains or losses due to the Special Redemption
and Liquidation, and will not be charged any additional sales
charge. If a large percentage of Unit holders become Rollover
Unit holders, the aggregate size of a Trust will be sharply reduced.
As a consequence, expenses, if any, in excess of the amount to
be borne by the Trustee would constitute a higher percentage amount
per Unit than prior to the Special Redemption, Liquidation and
Investment in a 1996 Trust. The Trust might also be reduced below
the Discretionary Liquidation Amount listed in the Summary of
Essential Information because of the lesser number of Units in
a Trust, and possibly also due to a value reduction, however temporary,
in Units caused by the Sponsor's sales of Equity Securities; if
so, the Sponsor could then choose to liquidate such Trust without
the consent of the remaining Unit holders. See "How May the Indenture
be Amended or Terminated?" The Equity Securities remaining in
a Trust after the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period will
be sold by the Sponsor as quickly as possible without, in its
judgment, materially adversely affecting the market price of the
Equity Securities.
The Sponsor may for any reason, in its sole discretion, decide
not to sponsor the 1996 Trusts or any subsequent series of the
Trusts, without penalty or incurring liability to any Unit holder.
If the Sponsor so decides, the Sponsor shall notify the Unit holders
before the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period would have
commenced. All Unit holders will then be remaining Unit holders,
with rights to ordinary redemption as before. See "How May Units
be Redeemed?" The Sponsor may modify the terms of the 1996 Trusts
or any subsequent series of the Trusts. The Sponsor may also modify,
suspend or terminate the Rollover Option upon notice to the Unit
holders of such amendment at least 60 days prior to the effective
date of such amendment.
Investors should be aware that at the present time any proposed
1996 Trust of the Target 5 Trust Series (the "1996 Target 5 Trust")
would not be able to invest more than 5% of its assets in the stock
of any issuer that derives more than 15% of its revenues from
securities-related activities. If at the date of the creation of the
1996 Target 5 Trust any of the common stocks chosen are of companies
that derive more than 15% of their revenues from securities-related
activities, the 1996 Target 5 Trust would not be able to invest an
equal amount in each of the selected stocks. THE SPONSOR HAS APPLIED
FOR AN EXEMPTIVE ORDER WHICH WOULD PERMIT THE 1996 TARGET 5 TRUST TO
INVEST UP TO 20% OF ITS ASSETS IN THE STOCK OF AN ISSUER THAT DERIVES
MORE THAN 15% OF ITS REVENUES FROM SECURITIES-RELATED ACTIVITIES, BUT
NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
WILL ISSUE SUCH AN ORDER.
How May Units be Purchased by the Sponsor?
The Trustee shall notify the Sponsor of any tender of Units for
redemption. If the Sponsor's bid in the secondary market at that
time equals or exceeds the Redemption Price per Unit, it may purchase
such Units by notifying the Trustee before 1:00 p.m. eastern standard
time on the same business day and by making payment therefor to
the Unit holder not later than the day on which the Units would
otherwise have been redeemed by the Trustee. Units held by the
Sponsor may be tendered to the Trustee for redemption as any other
Units. In the event the Sponsor does not purchase Units, the Trustee
may sell Units tendered for redemption in the over-the-counter
market, if any, as long as the amount to be received by the Unit
holder is equal to the amount he would have received on redemption
of the Units.
The offering price of any Units acquired by the Sponsor will be
in accord with the Public Offering Price described in the then
effective prospectus describing such Units. Any profit or loss
resulting from the resale or redemption of such Units will belong
to the Sponsor.
Page 33
How May Equity Securities be Removed from a Trust?
The Portfolios of the Trusts are not "managed" by the Sponsor
or the Trustee; their activities described herein are governed
solely by the provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that the Sponsor may (but need not) direct the Trustee to dispose
of an Equity Security in the event that an issuer defaults in the
payment of a dividend that has been declared, that any action or
proceeding has been instituted restraining the payment of dividends
or there exists any legal question or impediment affecting such Equity
Security, that the issuer of the Equity Security has breached a covenant
which would affect the payments of dividends, the credit standing
of the issuer or otherwise impair the sound investment character
of the Equity Security, that the issuer has defaulted on the payment
on any other of its outstanding obligations, that the price of
the Equity Security has declined to such an extent or other such
credit factors exist so that in the opinion of the Sponsor, the
retention of such Equity Securities would be detrimental to a
Trust. Except as stated under "Portfolio-What are Some Additional
Considerations for Investors?" for Failed Obligations, the acquisition
by a Trust of any securities or other property other than the
Equity Securities is prohibited. Pursuant to the Indenture and
with limited exceptions, the Trustee may sell any securities or
other property acquired in exchange for Equity Securities such
as those acquired in connection with a merger or other transaction.
If offered such new or exchanged securities or property, the Trustee
shall reject the offer. However, in the event such securities
or property are nonetheless acquired by a Trust, they may be accepted
for deposit in a Trust and either sold by the Trustee or held
in a Trust pursuant to the direction of the Sponsor (who may rely
on the advice of the Portfolio Supervisor). Proceeds from the
sale of Equity Securities by the Trustee are credited to the Capital
Account of a Trust for distribution to Unit holders or to meet
redemptions.
The Trustee may also sell Equity Securities designated by the
Sponsor, or if not so directed, in its own discretion, for the
purpose of redeeming Units of a Trust tendered for redemption
and the payment of expenses.
The Sponsor, in designating Equity Securities to be sold by the
Trustee, will generally make selections in order to maintain,
to the extent practicable, the proportionate relationship among
the number of shares of individual issues of Equity Securities.
To the extent this is not practicable, the composition and diversity
of the Equity Securities may be altered. In order to obtain the
best price for a Trust, it may be necessary for the Sponsor to
specify minimum amounts (generally 100 shares) in which blocks
of Equity Securities are to be sold.

is made to the material set forth under "Rights of Unit Holders."
The Trustee and any successor trustee may resign by executing
an instrument in writing and filing the same with the Sponsor
and mailing a copy of a notice of resignation to all Unit holders.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Sponsor is obligated to appoint
a successor trustee promptly. If the Trustee becomes incapable
of acting or becomes bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by
public authorities, the Sponsor may remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor as provided in the Indenture. If upon resignation
of a trustee no successor has accepted the appointment within
30 days after notification, the retiring trustee may apply to
a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
The resignation or removal of a trustee becomes effective only
when the successor trustee accepts its appointment as such or
when a court of competent jurisdiction appoints a successor trustee.
Any corporation into which a Trustee may be merged or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger or consolidation to which a Trustee shall be a party, shall
be the successor Trustee. The Trustee must be a banking corporation
organized under the laws of the United States or any State and
having at all times an aggregate capital, surplus and undivided
profits of not less than $5,000,000.
Limitations on Liabilities of Sponsor and Trustee
The Sponsor and the Trustee shall be under no liability to Unit
holders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any
action in good faith pursuant to the Indenture, or for errors
in judgment, but shall be liable only for their own willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence (ordinary negligence in the case of
the Trustee) or reckless disregard of their obligations and duties.
The Trustee shall not be liable for depreciation or loss incurred
by reason of the sale by the Trustee of any of the Equity Securities.
In the event of the failure of the Sponsor to act under the Indenture,
the Trustee may act thereunder and shall not be liable for any
action taken by it in good faith under the Indenture.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any taxes or other governmental
charges imposed upon or in respect of the Equity Securities or
upon the interest thereon or upon it as Trustee under the Indenture
or upon or in respect of a Trust which the Trustee may be required
to pay under any present or future law of the United States of
America or of any other taxing authority having jurisdiction.
In addition, the Indenture contains other customary provisions
limiting the liability of the Trustee.
If the Sponsor shall fail to perform any of its duties under the
Indenture or becomes incapable of acting or becomes bankrupt or
its affairs are taken over by public authorities, then the Trustee
may (a) appoint a successor Sponsor at rates of compensation deemed
by the Trustee to be reasonable and not exceeding amounts prescribed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (b) terminate the
Indenture and liquidate the Trust as provided herein, or (c) continue
to act as Trustee without terminating the Indenture.
Who is the Evaluator?
The Evaluator is FT Evaluators L.P., an Illinois limited partnership
formed in 1994 and an affiliate of the Sponsor. The Evaluator's
address is 1001 Warrenville Road, Lisle, Illinois 60532. The Evaluator
may resign or may be removed by the Sponsor and the Trustee, in
which event the Sponsor and the Trustee are to use their best
efforts to appoint a satisfactory successor. Such resignation
or removal shall become effective upon the acceptance of appointment
by the successor Evaluator. If upon resignation of the Evaluator
no successor has accepted appointment within 30 days after notice
of resignation, the Evaluator may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
The Trustee, Sponsor and Unit holders may rely on any evaluation
furnished by the Evaluator and shall have no responsibility for
the accuracy thereof. Determinations by the Evaluator under the
Indenture shall be made in good faith upon the basis of the best
information available to it, provided, however, that the Evaluator
shall be under no liability to the Trustee, Sponsor or Unit holders
Page 35
for errors in judgment. This provision shall not protect the Evaluator
in any case of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.
OTHER INFORMATION
How May the Indenture be Amended or Terminated?
The Sponsor and the Trustee have the power to amend the Indenture
without the consent of any of the Unit holders when such an amendment
is (1) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
of the Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provision contained therein, or (2) to make such other provisions
as shall not adversely affect the interest of the Unit holders
(as determined in good faith by the Sponsor and the Trustee).
The Indenture provides that a Trust shall terminate upon the Mandatory
Termination Date indicated herein under "Summary of Essential
Information." The Trust may be liquidated at any time by consent
of 100% of the Unit holders of a Trust or by the Trustee when
the value of the Equity Securities owned by such Trust as shown
by any evaluation, is less than the lower of $2,000,000 or 20%
of the total value of Equity Securities deposited in such Trust
during the primary offering period, or in the event that Units
of such Trust not yet sold aggregating more than 60% of the Units
of such Trust are tendered for redemption by the Underwriter,
including the Sponsor. If a Trust is liquidated because of the
redemption of unsold Units of such Trust by the Underwriter, the
Sponsor will refund to each purchaser of Units of such Trust the
entire sales charge paid by such purchaser. In the event of termination,
written notice thereof will be sent by the Trustee to all Unit
holders of a Trust. Within a reasonable period after termination,
the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth under "How are
Income and Capital Distributed?" Also, because of the Special
Redemption and Liquidation in a New Trust, there is a possibility
that a Trust may be reduced below the Discretionary Liquidation
Amount and that a Trust could therefore be terminated at that
time before the Mandatory Termination Date of the Fund.
Commencing on the Mandatory Termination Date, Equity Securities
will begin to be sold in connection with the termination of a
Trust. The Sponsor will determine the manner, timing and execution
of the sale of the Equity Securities. Written notice of any termination
of a Trust specifying the time or times at which Unit holders
may surrender their certificates for cancellation shall be given
by the Trustee to each Unit holder at his address appearing on
the registration books of such Trust maintained by the Trustee.
At least 60 days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date of the
Trust the Trustee will provide written notice thereof to all Unit
holders and will include with such notice a form to enable Unit
holders to elect a distribution of shares of Equity Securities
(reduced by customary transfer and registration charges), if such
Unit holder owns at least 2,500 Units of a Trust, rather than
to receive payment in cash for such Unit holder's pro rata share
of the amounts realized upon the disposition by the Trustee of
Equity Securities. To be effective, the election form, together
with surrendered certificates and other documentation required
by the Trustee, must be returned to the Trustee at least five
business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date of a Trust.
Unit holders not electing a distribution of shares of Equity Securities
and who do not elect the Rollover Option will receive a cash distribution
from the sale of the remaining Equity Securities within a reasonable
time after a Trust is terminated. Regardless of the distribution
involved, the Trustee will deduct from the funds of a Trust any
accrued costs, expenses, advances or indemnities provided by the
Trust Agreement, including estimated compensation of the Trustee
and costs of liquidation and any amounts required as a reserve
to provide for payment of any applicable taxes or other governmental
charges. Any sale of Equity Securities in a Trust upon termination
may result in a lower amount than might otherwise be realized
if such sale were not required at such time. The Trustee will
then distribute to each Unit holder his pro rata share of the
balance of the Income and Capital Accounts.
Legal Opinions
The legality of the Units offered hereby and certain matters relating
to Federal tax law have been passed upon by Chapman and Cutler,
111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, as counsel for
the Sponsor. Carter, Ledyard & Milburn, will act as counsel for
the Trustee and as special New York tax counsel for the Trust.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Sponsor, Nike Securities L.P., and Unit Holders
THE FIRST TRUST SPECIAL SITUATIONS TRUST, SERIES 119
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets, including
the schedules of investments, of The First Trust Special Situations
Trust, Series 119, comprised of Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and Target
10 Trust, Series 8, as of the opening of business on
, 1995. These statements of net assets are the responsibility
of the Trusts' Sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these statements of net assets based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements
of net assets are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the statements of net assets. Our procedures included
confirmation of the letters of credit held by the Trustee and
deposited in the Trusts on , 1995. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Sponsor, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the statements of net assets. We believe that
our audit of the statements of net assets provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the statements of net assets referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of The First Trust Special Situations Trust, Series 119, comprised
of Target 5 Trust, Series 2 and Target 10 Trust, Series 8, at
the opening of business on , 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The graph which appears on page 16 of the prospectus represents
a comparison between a $10,000 investment made on January 1, 1975
in those stocks which comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average
and an identical investment in the five lowest priced stocks of
the ten common stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average having
the highest dividend yield as of December 31 of each respective
year. The chart indicates that $10,000 invested on January 1,
1975 in the stocks which comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average
would on December 31, 1994 be worth $145,385 as opposed to $536,260
had the $10,000 been invested in the five lowest priced stocks
of the ten common stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average having
the highest dividend yield as of December 31 of each respective
year. Both figures assume that dividends received during each
year will be reinvested at year end and sales charges, commissions,
expenses and taxes were not considered in determining total returns.
