Applicant's Representations

    1. The Applicant was organized as a corporation under Maryland law 
on April 21, 1983 and dissolved as such on April 7, 1993.
    2. On June 14, 1983, Applicant filed a registration statement under 
Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act and, on February 21, 1984, registered 
under the 1940 Act as an open-end, diversified investment management 
company. Also on June 14, 1983, Applicant filed a registration 
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, registering an indefinite 
number of shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value. This registration 
statement was declared effective on February 21, 1984. The initial 
public offering commenced February 21, 1984.
    3. Applicant's only security holder was Phoenix Home Life Separate 
Account B (``Account B''). On August 5, 1992, Applicant's Board of 
Directors unanimously approved the transfer of Applicant's assets and 
liabilities to Separate Account P (``Account P'') of Phoenix Home Life 
Mutual Insurance Company (``Phoenix-Home Life''). Account B and its 
depositor, Phoenix-Home Life, voted all outstanding shares in favor of 
the reorganization, constituting more than two-thirds of the shares 
outstanding that was required under Maryland law.
    4. As of October 23, 1992, Applicant has one class of Common Stock 
outstanding, consisting of 1,239,689.6517 outstanding shares. The 
aggregate net asset value of such shares and the net asset value per 
share were $13,615,073.83 and $10,9856, respectively.
    5. On October 26, 1992, Applicant's assets, consisting only of 
qualified plan assets, were transferred to Account P, which contains 
only qualified plan assets. Account B became a contractholder of 
Account P. Account B and Account P were not required to be registered 
under the 1940 Act in reliance on Section 3(c)(11) thereunder. In 
consideration for the transfer, Account P assumed all of Applicant's 
liabilities and delivered to Applicant full and fractional units of 
Account P equal to that number of full and fractional units of Account 
P as determined based on the relative net asset values of Applicant and 
Account P as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on October 23, 
1992 (the last business day preceding the reorganization). Applicant 
distributed Account P units pro rata to Account B and simultaneously 
Applicant's shares held by Account B were cancelled. No brokerage 
commissions were paid in connection with the transfer of assets.
    6. No assets were retained by Applicant after October 26, 1992, and 
no debts or other liabilities of Applicant remain outstanding. 
Applicant has no security holders to whom distributions in complete 
liquidation have not been made. Applicant is not a party to any 
litigation or administrative proceeding.
    7. Phoenix-Home Life, the parent company to the Adviser and 
depositor of Account B and Account P, paid all of the direct and 
indirect expenses of the reorganization, including any brokerage fees 
relating to transactions resulting from the reorganization.
    8. Other than as described above, during the past 18 months, 
Applicant has not, for any reason, transferred any of its assets to a 
separate trust, the beneficiaries of which were or are security holders 
of the Applicant.
    9. 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.
    10. Applicant has made all filings under the 1940 Act, including 
Form N-SAR filings, for each period for which such filings were 
required.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
