Applicant's Representations

    1. Applicant is an open-end management investment company organized 
as a New York corporation. On December 21, 1993, applicant registered 
under the Act and filed a registration statement under the Securities 
Act of 1933 to register its shares. The registration statement became 
effective on June 13, 1994, and the initial public offering commenced 
on June 16, 1994.
    2. On February 6, 1995, the Acting Superintendent for the Banks of 
the State of New York took possession of Nationar, applicant's 
investment adviser, a commercial bank organized under the laws of the 
State of New York. During a telephonic board meeting held on February 
13, 1995, applicant's board of directors considered what was the 
appropriate action to be taken regarding the applicant and its funds. 
At that time, the board of directors took formal action to close 
applicant's Money Market Portfolio as all of the shareholds other than 
Nationar had redeemed their shares. At a subsequent telephonic meeting 
of applicant's board of directors held on February 17, 1995, the 
chairman reported that he had been contacted by most, if not all, of 
the shareholders in each of applicant's other funds and had been 
advised that all of them were contemplating redeeming their shares. 
Throughout the period February 6, 1995 through February 17, 1995, 
officers of Nationar, fund counsel and applicant's accountants had been 
communicating with the SEC and the New York State Banking Department in 
order to determine what action should be taken with respect to 
applicant and its funds. By unanimous written consent dated March 1, 
1995, the board of directors adopted resolutions authorizing the 
officers of the applicant to take all such action as necessary to cease 
offering shares of applicant's Money Market Portfolio, Government 
Securities Portfolio, and U.S. Mortgage Securities Portfolio.
    3. All assets of applicant have been distributed to shareholders 
through individual redemptions. Immediately prior to the redemptions, 
each fund's assets were converted into cash. No brokerage commissions 
or other fees were paid in connection with the redemptions or the 
conversion of portfolio securities into cash.
    4. All expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation, 
[[Page 33450]] approximately $37,500, consisting of legal fees and 
trustee fees, were paid by applicant. Certain deferred organizational 
expenses of $79,116 were assumed and paid by the Adviser.
    5. As of the date of the application, applicant had no debts or 
liabilities and is not a party to any litigation or administrative 
proceeding.
    6. Applicant is neither engaged in, nor does it propose to engage 
in, any business activities other than those necessary for the winding-
up of its affairs. Applicant intends to file a certificate of 
dissolution with the State of New York.

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