    1. Applicant is a registered open-end management investment company 
under the Act and is organized as a business trust under the laws of 
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On October 4, 1993, applicant filed 
a Notification of Registration on Form N-8A pursuant to section 8(a) of 
the Act and a registration statement on Form N-1A under section 8(b) of 
the Act and under the Securities Act of 1933. On February 10, 1994, the 
registration statement was declared effective and applicant commenced 
its initial public offering on that date. Applicant consists of three

Fund (``Government and Income Fund''); and Alexander Hamilton Municipal 
Income Fund (``Municipal Income Fund'') (each, a ``Series'').
    2. On November 28, 1994, applicant's board of trustees unanimously 
determined that applicant's continuation was no longer in the best 
interest of applicant or its shareholders. The board determined that 
applicant's shareholders would be better served by a liquidation of 
applicant's assets. The board voted to approve a plan of liquidation 
whereby applicant's shareholders would be contacted and asked to redeem 
their shares by November 29, 1994 (the ``Liquidation Date'').
    3. On November 28, 1994, Equity Growth and Income Fund had

Liquidation Date, Equity Growth and Income Fund sold its portfolio 
securities at fair market value. Brokerage commissions totaling $732 
were paid in connection with the sale. On or before the Liquidation 
Date, the holder of 99.8% of Equity Growth and Income Fund's shares, 
Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company (``AHLIC''), parent of 
Alexander Hamilton Capital Management, Inc., applicant's investment 
adviser (the ``Adviser''), voluntarily redeemed its shares at the 
redemption date's net asset value.
    4. On the November 28, 1994, Government Income Fund had 532,475.146 
shares of beneficial interest outstanding. At such time, Government 
Income Fund had an aggregate and per share net asset value of

Date, Government Income Fund sold its portfolio securities at fair 
market value. No brokerage commissions were paid in connection with the 
sale. On or before the Liquidation Date, the holder of 98% of 
Government Income AHLIC, voluntarily redeemed its shares at the 
redemption date's net asset value.
    5. On the November 28, 1994, Municipal Income Fund had 551,300.772 
shares of beneficial interest outstanding. At such time, Municipal 
Income Fund had an aggregate and per share net asset value of 
$4,714,748.52 and $8.55, respectively. On or before the Liquidation 
Date, Municipal Income Fund sold certain of its portfolio securities at 
fair market value and the remaining securities were disposed of in 
accordance with rule 17a-7. No brokerage commissions were paid in 
connection with the sale. On or before the Liquidation Date, the holder 
of 99.9% of Government Income Fund's shares, AHLIC, voluntarily 
redeemed its shares in kind or at the redemption date's net asset 
value.
    6. On the Liquidation date, applicant's administrator, Federated 
Administrative Services (the ``Administrator''), the remaining 
shareholder of each series, adopted a resolution approving applicant's 
termination.
    7. No outside legal or accounting fees were incurred in connection 
with the liquidation. Any expenses incurred in connection with 
applicant's liquidation were waived or paid by the Administrator 
pursuant to its administrative agreement. All organizational and 
operational expenses will be paid by the Adviser.
    8. As of the date of the application, applicant had no assets, 
debts, or shareholders. Applicant is not a party to any litigation or 
administrative proceeding. Applicant is neither engaged in nor proposes 
to engage in any business activities other than those necessary for the 
winding-up of its affairs.
