Applicant's Representations

    1. Applicant is a Massachusetts business trust and a diversified 
open-end management investment company. On October 19, 1992, applicant 
filed a notification of registration on Form N-8A to register as an 
investment company under section 8(a) of the Act. On November 20, 1992, 
applicant filed a registration statement on Form N-1A under section 
8(b) of the Act and under the Securities Act of 1933 to register an 
indefinite number of shares.
    2. Applicant's registration statement was declared effective on May 
7, 1993. The registration statement initially pertained only to 
applicant's Brookhollow Treasury Money Market Fund series. No public 
offering or sales of securities of such series were made.
    3. An amendment to applicant's registration statement pertaining to 
the Brookhollow Short Duration U.S. Government Fund (``Short Duration 
Fund'') series was declared effective on March 3, 1993. The public 
offering of the shares of such series commenced on April 2, 1993. No 
sales of such shares were completed.
    4. On October 1, 1993, pursuant to an action by unanimous written 
consent, applicant's board of trustees adopted resolutions appoving

10,168.813 shares of beneficial interest of Short Duration Fund, with a 
net asset value of $9.93 per share and an aggregate net asset value of 
$100,977.79, which amount applicant distributed on that date to its 
sole securityholder of record (the seed capital investor).
    5. Legal, accounting, printing, mailing, deregistration, 
termination, and other expenses incurred in connection with applicant's 
liquidation, totalling approximately $17,412, were paid by Signature

applicant's principal underwriter, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Signature.
    6. At the time of the application, applicant had no 
securityholders, assets, or liabilities. Applicant is not a party to 
any litigation or administrative proceeding. Applicant is not presently 
engaged in, nor does it propose to engage in, any business activities 
other than those necessary for the winding up of its affairs.
    7. Applicant intends to make all legally required filings with the 
Massachusetts Secretary of State to terminate applicant.

    For the SEC, by the Division of Investment Management, under 
delegated authority.
