Applicant's Representations

    1. Applicant is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the 
Act. On October 11, 1989, applicant filed a registration statement on 
Form N-8A. For its Treasury Money Fund (``TMF''), Government Money Fund 
(``GMF''), and Money Market Fund (``MMF'') portfolios, applicant 
registered its shares on February 1, 1990. The registration statement 
became effective on June 6, 1990, and the initial public offering 
commenced on June 8, 1990. For its Eagle California Tax-Free Money Fund 
(``Eagle'') portfolio, applicant registered Eagle's shares on May 21, 
1990. The registration statement became effective on July 24, 1991, and 
the initial public offering commenced on July 29, 1991. Each of 
applicant's portfolios invested in open-end management investment 
companies (each an ``Underlying Trust'') having the same investment 
objective as the investing portfolio.
    2. At a meeting held on October 30, 1992, applicant's board of 
directors approved the reorganization, termination and deregistration 
of applicant. In this reorganization, applicant's portfolios, MMF, GMF, 
TMF, and Eagle, would be acquired by Prime Fund, Government Fund, 
Treasury Only Fund and California Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund 
(``CTE''), respectively, each a portfolio of Pacific Horizon Funds, 
Inc.
    3. At special meetings held on February 18, and February 25, 1993,

1, 1993, pursuant to the plan, Prime Fund, Government Fund, Treasury 
Only Fund and CTE acquired the assets and liabilities of MMF, GMF, TMF, 
and Eagle, respectively, in exchange for shares of Prime Fund, 
Government Fund, Treasury Only Fund and CTE, with the same net asset 
value, and these shares were distributed to the appropriate 
shareholders of MMF, GMF, TMF, and Eagle. Concurrently, the Underlying 
Trusts, in which the applicant's portfolios are invested, distributed 
portions of their assets and liabilities equal to the value of the 
interests in them of the respective portfolios to the corresponding 
Pacific Horizon portfolios.
    4. One-third of the expenses incurred in connection with the 
reorganization were paid by Pacific Horizon, and the balance was paid 
by Bank of America N.T. & S.A., Pacific Horizon's investment adviser, 
and Concord Holding Corporation, Pacific Horizon's administrator.
    5. Applicant has no debts or other liabilities outstanding, and is 
not a party to any litigation or administrative proceeding. Applicant 
has no securityholders at the time of filing of the application.
    6. Applicant is not now engaged, nor does it propose to engage, in 
any business activities other than those necessary for the winding up 
of its affairs. Applicant will be terminated under state law.

pursuant to delegated authority.
