Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

Normally investing in municipal money market securities.
Normally investing at least 80% of assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona personal income taxes.
Potentially investing up to 20% of assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to Arizona personal income tax.
Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
Investing in compliance with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, and diversification of investments.

Principal Investment Risks

Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a money market security to decrease.
Foreign Exposure. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can be affected by adverse political, regulatory, market, or economic developments in those countries.
Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within Arizona can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
Issuer-Specific Changes. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a money market security to decrease.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Fund Summary - continued

Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund.

Principal Investment Risks

Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within Arizona can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
<R>Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.</R>
<R>Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.</R>

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in each fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of each fund's shares from year to year, and compares the performance of Arizona Municipal Income's shares to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Arizona Municipal Income also compares the performance of its shares to the performance of an additional index over various periods of time. Returns (before and after taxes for the bond fund) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Average Annual Returns

After-tax returns for the bond fund are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) normally invests the fund's assets in municipal money market securities.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona personal income taxes. Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest up to 20% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to Arizona personal income tax under normal circumstances. FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The supply of and demand for municipal money market securities can vary from time to time. When FMR believes that suitable municipal money market securities are not available, or during other unusual market conditions, FMR may leave a significant portion of the fund's assets uninvested, or may invest up to 20% of the fund's assets in securities subject to state and/or federal income tax.

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal money market securities by investing in other funds. FMR stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity, and income.

Investment Objective

Arizona Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona personal income taxes. The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality). Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to Arizona personal income tax. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Prospectus

FMR uses an Arizona bond index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. This index, a market value-weighted index of Arizona investment-grade fixed-rate municipal bonds, is designed to represent FMR's view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. FMR may, from time to time, change the index or the characteristics of the index in response to changes in the market or the fund's peer group, for example, when the observed interest rate sensitivity or credit composition of the fund's competitive universe deviates from that of the index.

FMR considers other factors when selecting the fund's investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current valuation relative to alternatives in the market, short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and potential future valuation. In managing the fund's exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, FMR considers, among other things, the market's overall risk characteristics, the market's current pricing of those risks, information on the fund's competitive universe and internal views of potential future market conditions.

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector and maturity.

FMR may engage in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives, regardless of whether the fund may own the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative, and forward-settling securities. FMR may invest a significant portion of the fund's assets in these types of investments.

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Money market securities are high-quality, short-term securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the security's maturity. Municipal money market securities include variable rate demand notes, commercial paper, and municipal notes.

Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of a security or index) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection).

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates each fund's investments in Arizona, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

The money market fund's yield will change daily based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Although the fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of one of the fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to decrease.

The bond fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Prospectus

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions may directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal securities.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt and money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

Foreign Exposure. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can involve increased risks. Extensive public information about the provider may not be available and unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments could affect the value of the security.

<R>Geographic Concentration. The performance of the funds' investments can be expected to be highly sensitive to the fiscal stability of the State of Arizona and its subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. The fiscal stability of those issuers can in turn be expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within Arizona and within the local jurisdictions of local government issuers. The rate of growth the Arizona economy displayed in recent years began to slow in early 2007 along with the national economy and has continued to slow into 2009, and nationally reflected factors such as the housing downturn and slower consumer spending may result in continued reduced levels in general economic activity in Arizona and continuation of reduced employment levels.</R>

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

<R>Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value. In addition, if the structure of a security fails to function as intended, interest from the security could become taxable or the security could decline in value.</R>

<R>Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.</R>

Generally, each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the funds guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

<R>Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, or paid for when anticipated.</R>

Prospectus

<R>In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy (including leaving a significant portion of a fund's assets uninvested) for defensive purposes. Uninvested assets do not earn income for a fund, which may have a significant negative impact on the fund's yield and may prevent the fund from achieving its investment objective. In addition, different factors could affect a fund's performance, and a fund could distribute income subject to federal or Arizona personal income tax.</R>

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from Arizona personal income tax.

The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from Arizona personal income tax.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. Even if the NYSE is closed, Arizona Municipal Money Market will be open for business on those days on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) is open, the primary trading markets for Arizona Municipal Money Market's portfolio instruments are open, and Arizona Municipal Money Market's management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase and redemption requests.

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

The bond fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While Arizona Municipal Income has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the funds through an investment professional. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of a fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

Excessive Trading Policy

A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions, or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments to a fund), disrupting portfolio management strategies, or diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.

FMR anticipates that shareholders will purchase and sell shares of Arizona Municipal Money Market frequently because a money market fund is designed to offer investors a liquid cash option. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has not adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive trading of money market fund shares and Arizona Municipal Money Market accommodates frequent trading.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares for Arizona Municipal Income. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of Arizona Municipal Income for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from Arizona Municipal Income's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, Arizona Municipal Income's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to a fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by a fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply Arizona Municipal Income's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to such transactions exceeding $5,000. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. FMR will apply these policies through a phased implementation. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

Prospectus

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

Arizona Municipal Income will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to Arizona Municipal Income's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

Arizona Municipal Money Market has no limit on purchase or exchange transactions. Each fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. Arizona Municipal Income's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

Arizona Municipal Income does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

In addition to these policies, Arizona Municipal Income imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from the fund, which is discussed in "Selling Shares." As described in "Valuing Shares," Arizona Municipal Income also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that Arizona Municipal Income's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

<R>If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.</R>

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when fund shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of Arizona Municipal Money Market is the fund's NAV. The price to sell one share of Arizona Municipal Income is the fund's NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.

For Arizona Municipal Income, if you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the fund, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.

The short-term redemption fee does not apply to: (i) redemptions of shares acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions; (ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund as long as the money never leaves the fund; and (iii) redemptions in kind.

Prospectus

Arizona Municipal Income also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:

Redemptions due to Fidelity fund small balance maintenance fees; and
Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree.

The application of short-term redemption fees and waivers may vary among intermediaries and certain intermediaries may not apply the waivers listed above. If you purchase or sell fund shares through an intermediary, you should contact your intermediary for more information on whether the short-term redemption fee will be applied to redemptions of your shares.

Arizona Municipal Income reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.

Fidelity seeks to identify intermediaries that hold fund shares in omnibus accounts and will refuse their purchase orders if they do not agree to track and remit short-term redemption fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. There are no assurances that Fidelity will successfully identify all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess short-term redemption fees.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.

Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

<R>When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;</R>
You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

If you are selling some but not all of your Arizona Municipal Money Market shares, keep your fund balance above $2,000 to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
If you are selling some but not all of your Arizona Municipal Income shares, keep your fund balance above $5,000 to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
<R>If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and you sell shares of Arizona Municipal Money Market by writing a check, if available, and the amount of the check is greater than the value of your fund position, your check will be returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.</R>
You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for more than one year, the check may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the next NAV calculated on the day of the investment.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. Each fund no longer issues share certificates.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

Prospectus

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The funds may terminate or modify the exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

<R>Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000 in shares. It is expected that fund balances will be valued after November 1 but prior to December 31 of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.</R>

<R>If your fund balance falls below $2,000 worth of shares for Arizona Municipal Money Market or $5,000 worth of shares for Arizona Municipal Income, for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, and you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you after providing you with at least 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.</R>

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund may also realize capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less losses), if any, to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The bond fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The bond fund normally pays capital gain distributions in October and December.

Distributions you receive from the money market fund consist primarily of dividends. The money market fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.

Earning Dividends

<R>A fund processes purchase and redemption requests only on days it is open for business.</R>

Shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.

Shares generally earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for shares of each fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. (bond fund only) Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends^® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the next NAV calculated on the day of the investment.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you.

Taxes on distributions. Each fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax.

A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to a fund's sale of municipal bonds.

For federal tax purposes, certain of each fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while each fund's distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

For Arizona personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of Arizona issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to Arizona personal income tax.

Prospectus

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as taxable income or a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax or Arizona personal income tax purposes. A return of capital generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a potentially taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on transactions. Your bond fund redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and Arizona personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

These payments are described in more detail in the following paragraphs and in the SAI.</R>

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, service-providers, and other administrators, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are each fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Diversification

For Arizona Municipal Money Market:

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, the fund would not comply with any applicable diversification requirements for a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder, as such may be amended from time to time.

Senior Securities

For each fund:

The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Borrowing

For each fund:

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

Underwriting

For each fund:

The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

Concentration

For Arizona Municipal Money Market:

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, FMR may analyze the characteristics of a particular issuer and security and assign an industry or sector classification consistent with those characteristics in the event that the third party classification provider used by FMR does not assign a classification.

For Arizona Municipal Income:

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities; securities of other investment companies; or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

Real Estate

For each fund:

The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

Commodities

For Arizona Municipal Money Market:

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities.

For Arizona Municipal Income:

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

Loans

For each fund:

The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

Pooled Funds

For each fund:

The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Diversification

For Arizona Municipal Money Market:

With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other money market funds) if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, certain securities subject to guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds.

For Arizona Municipal Income:

In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that (a) no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer, and (b) the fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other regulated investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.

Short Sales

For Arizona Municipal Money Market:

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

For Arizona Municipal Income:

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts, options, and swaps are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

Margin Purchases

For each fund:

The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

Borrowing

For each fund:

The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).

Illiquid Securities

For each fund:

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

For purposes of each fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Loans

For each fund:

The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities.

Pooled Funds

For each fund:

The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

In addition to each fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of purchase contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market or short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.

Central Funds are special types of investment vehicles created by Fidelity for use by the Fidelity funds and other advisory clients. FMR uses central funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines, or for cash management. Central funds incur certain costs related to their investment activity (such as custodial fees and expenses), but do not pay additional management fees to Fidelity. The investment results of the portions of the fund's assets invested in the central funds will be based upon the investment results of those funds.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.

<R>Duration of a bond is a measure of the approximate sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates. Duration is expressed in years. Except for zero coupon bonds, duration is generally shorter than maturity because much of a bond's return consists of interest paid prior to the maturity date. Bonds with longer durations usually have more interest rate sensitivity and price volatility than bonds with shorter durations. Typically, if a bond had a duration of 5 years and interest rates rose 1%, the market value of the bond would decline 5%.</R>

Futures, Options, and Swaps. The success of any strategy involving futures, options, and swaps depends on an adviser's analysis of many economic and mathematical factors and a fund's return may be higher if it never invested in such instruments. Additionally, some of the contracts discussed below are new instruments without a trading history and there can be no assurance that a market for the instruments will continue to exist.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index, and some are based on Eurodollars. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out by offsetting purchases or sales of futures contracts before then if a liquid market is available. The fund may realize a gain or loss by closing out its futures contracts.

Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

The purchaser or seller of a futures contract or an option for a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. This process of "marking to market" will be reflected in the daily calculation of open positions computed in a fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The party that has a gain is entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund. A fund is required to segregate liquid assets equivalent to the fund's outstanding obligations under the contract in excess of the initial margin and variation margin, if any.

There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. Exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or other market conditions, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its futures positions could also be impaired.

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay or receive the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular options contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options positions could also be impaired.

Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally are less liquid and involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are backed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Combined positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

A fund may also buy and sell options on swaps. Options on interest rate swaps are known as swaptions. An option on a swap gives a party the right to enter into a new swap agreement or to extend, shorten, cancel or modify an existing swap contract at a specific date in the future in exchange for a premium.

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Swap Agreements. Swaps are individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. Swap agreements can vary in term like other fixed-income investments. Most swap agreements are traded over-the-counter. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, which is the predetermined dollar principal of the trade representing the hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed.

<R>Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for the total return of a security or index), asset swaps (where parties combine the purchase or sale of a bond with an interest rate swap) and credit default swaps. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield.</R>

In a credit default swap, the credit default protection buyer makes periodic payments, known as premiums, to the credit default protection seller. In return the credit default protection seller will make a payment to the credit default protection buyer upon the occurrence of a specified credit event. A credit default swap can refer to a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. A fund may act as either the buyer or the seller of a credit default swap. A fund may buy or sell credit default protection on a basket of issuers or assets, even if a number of the underlying assets referenced in the basket are lower-quality debt securities. In an unhedged credit default swap, a fund buys credit default protection on a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the reference entity. Credit default swaps involve greater and different risks than investing directly in the referenced asset, because, in addition to market risk, credit default swaps include liquidity, counterparty and operational risk.

Credit default swaps allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset or basket of assets. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If the fund is the credit default protection seller, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has deteriorated. If the fund is the credit default protection buyer, the fund will be required to pay premiums to the credit default protection seller. In the case of a physically settled credit default swap in which the fund is the protection seller, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of debt of a defaulted issuer delivered to the fund by the credit default protection buyer. Any loss would be offset by the premium payments the fund receives as the seller of credit default protection.

If the creditworthiness of the fund's swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the fund will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has declined.

Swap agreements generally are entered into by "eligible participants" and in compliance with certain other criteria necessary to render them excluded from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and, therefore not subject to regulation as futures or commodity option transactions under the CEA.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, various factors may be considered, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points for every 1% interest rate change.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal funds currently intend to participate in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.

Inverse Floaters have variable interest rates that typically move in the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest rates fall, and falling when short-term interest rates rise. The prices of inverse floaters can be considerably more volatile than the prices of other investments with comparable maturities and/or credit quality.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by a credit rating agency registered as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) with the SEC (for example, Moody's^® Investors Service, Inc.), or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Money Market Securities are high-quality, short-term obligations. Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and timing of distributions made by the funds.

Municipal Insurance. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or (ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market insurance).

Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a municipal bond to its maturity, typically enhancing its credit quality and value.

Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond insurance policy will not cover: (i) repayment of a municipal bond before maturity (redemption), (ii) prepayment or payment of an acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund redemption) or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances the maturity of the bond, or (iii) nonpayment of principal or interest caused by negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A mandatory sinking fund redemption may be a provision of a municipal bond issue whereby part of the municipal bond issue may be retired before maturity.

Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, not all of which have the highest credit rating, an event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole. Ratings of insured bonds reflect the credit rating of the insurer, based on the rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of the insurer and its ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the time of the assessment. While the obligation of a municipal bond insurance company to pay a claim extends over the life of an insured bond, there is no assurance that municipal bond insurers will meet their claims. A higher-than-anticipated default rate on municipal bonds or in connection with other insurance the insurer provides could strain the insurer's loss reserves and adversely affect its ability to pay claims to bondholders.

FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default, or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.

Municipal Leases and participation interests therein may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the issue.

Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable.

Municipal Market Disruption Risk. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the Arizona legislature that would affect the state tax treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a municipal fund's holdings would be affected, and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for a money market fund to maintain a stable NAV.

Education. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds: those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in effect.

Electric Utilities. The electric utilities industry has been experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.

Health Care. The health care industry is subject to regulatory action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal, state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations: adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program; other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care services.

Housing. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and regulations.

Transportation. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public transportation.

Water and Sewer. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance, monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack is a concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to rate increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put features.

Refunding Contracts. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding contract.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their NAV. Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

<R>Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, swaps, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. For purposes of making initial and ongoing minimal credit risk determinations, FMR and its affiliates may rely on their evaluation of the credit of the issuer or the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, factors considered may include whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the issuer and/or entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.</R>

Standby Commitments are puts that entitle holders to same-day settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of portfolio securities.

Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.

Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.

Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities of the underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments.

Structured Notes are derivative debt securities, the interest rate or principal of which is determined by an unrelated indicator. A structured note may be positively, negatively or both positively and negatively indexed; that is, its value or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases. Similarly, its value may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument decreases. Further, the change in the principal amount payable with respect to, or the interest rate of, a structured note may be a multiple of the percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying reference instrument(s). Structured or indexed securities may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities.

Temporary Defensive Policies.

Arizona Municipal Income reserves the right to invest without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.

<R>Arizona Municipal Money Market reserves the right to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash for temporary, defensive purposes. In addition, the fund reserves the right to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.</R>

Tender Option Bonds are created by depositing intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate or variable rate, municipal bonds into a trust and issuing two classes of trust interests (or "certificates") with varying economic interests to investors. Holders of the first class of trust interests, or floating rate certificates, receive tax-exempt interest based on short-term rates and may tender the certificate to the trust at par. As consideration for providing the tender option, the trust sponsor (typically a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees. The trust pays the holders of the floating rate certificates from proceeds of a remarketing of the certificates or from a draw on a liquidity facility provided by the sponsor. A fund investing in a floating rate certificate effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. The floating rate certificate is typically an eligible security for money market funds. Holders of the second class of interests, sometimes called the residual income certificates, are entitled to any tax-exempt interest received by the trust that is not payable to floating rate certificate holders, and bear the risk that the underlying municipal bonds decline in value. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the experience of the custodian, and the quality of the sponsor providing the tender option. In certain instances, the tender option may be terminated if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.

Transfer Agent Bank Accounts. Proceeds from shareholder purchases of a fund pass through a series of demand deposit bank accounts before being held at the fund's custodian. Redemption proceeds will pass from the custodian to the shareholder through a similar series of bank accounts.

The bank accounts are registered to the transfer agent or an affiliate, who acts as an agent for the funds when opening, closing and conducting business in the bank accounts. The transfer agent or an affiliate may invest overnight balances in the accounts in repurchase agreements. Any balances that are not invested in repurchase agreements remain in the bank accounts overnight. Any risks associated with these accounts are investment risks of the funds. A fund faces the risk of loss of these balances if the bank becomes insolvent.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put) the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise may have similar features.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ARIZONA

The following information regarding the State and its local units of government is a summary based upon information drawn from official statements and has not been independently verified.

<R>Each fund's performance is directly tied to the ability of issuers of Arizona (as used in this section, the "State") municipal securities to continue to make principal and interest payments on their securities, which in turn depends on economic and other conditions within the State. The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the State and is based on information in publicly available documents as of the date of this SAI. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the State or its issuers since the date hereof. Any such change(s) might adversely affect the State's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected State financial situation, which in turn could hamper each fund's performance.</R>

Certain Arizona constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, and voter initiatives, as discussed below, could adversely affect the market values and marketability of, or result in default of, existing obligations, including obligations that may be held by the funds. Budgetary pressures affecting the State and economic conditions in the State may also affect obligations of the State or local governments.

Economy

<R>Arizona has been one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. Over the last several decades, the State has outpaced most other states in virtually every major category of growth, including population, personal income, gross state product, and job creation. According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, the State's population on July 1, 2008 was estimated at 6.5 million, an increase of 26.7% from the 2000 census figure.</R>

The State of Arizona is the sixth largest state in terms of area, with 113,998 square miles. The State is divided into fifteen counties. Two of these counties, Maricopa County (including Phoenix) and Pima County (including Tucson), are more urban in nature and account for approximately 75% of total population and 80% of total wage and salary employment in Arizona, based on 2000 estimates.

<R>According to Arizona Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average unemployment rates in the United States as a whole and in the State of Arizona in 2008 were 5.8% and 5.5%, respectively. In 2009, based on data through July, the United States unemployment rate was 8.9% and Arizona's unemployment rate was 8.0%.</R>

<R>The U.S. and Arizona economies were both in rapid decline during the first quarter of 2009. Certain economic indicators might suggest that, nationwide, a bottom is beginning to form as the rate of decline diminishes and a few measures begin to turn upward. However, Arizona's recovery is expected to lag behind by at least a calendar quarter if not more due to lingering challenges facing the real estate market and continued layoffs in the public sector.</R>

<R>A slight recovery in Arizona economy is projected to begin sometime in late 2009 or early 2010 due, in part, to lower prices for key consumer items such as energy, food and housing. However, certain major indicators of the continued downturn in the Arizona economy remain, including falling levels of employment and falling output in almost all industries. Continued weakness in the housing market is signaled by rising mortgage foreclosure rates and falling home prices.</R>

<R>Population growth across Arizona is slowing as a result of the economic downturn. Less rapid expansion in the Arizona population has decreased anticipated demand for the goods and services of many of Arizona's major industries, including educational and health services. While job gains are forecast for few sectors such as health care and social assistance, continued employment reductions are projected for most others. Overall, the Arizona Department of Commerce projects a loss of nonfarm jobs for the 2009 to 2010 forecast time period of 167,800 jobs, or a loss of 6.4 %. For 2008, the five largest employment categories in the Arizona were trade, transportation and utilities; government; professional and business services; education and health services; and leisure and hospitality.</R>

<R>Examining the major industry groups in Arizona for 2009 and 2010, the Arizona Department of Commerce projected educational and health services sector to have the only job increases of any major industry with a gain of 9,800 jobs, or 3.1%. Employment reductions in the government sector are forecast to number 6,900, or 1.6%. Job losses in financial activities are forecast to total 7,800, or 4.4%. Leisure and hospitality is projected to have a loss of more than 13,000 jobs, or 4.9%. Manufacturing is projected to have a reduction of more than 12,000 jobs, or 7.3%. Information job reductions are forecast to number more than 3,000, or 7.3%. Trade, transportation and utilities is forecast to have job losses with a projected total decrease of 48,000 jobs, or 9.3%. Job losses in construction are projected to deepen, and for the forecast period expected to number 43,200 jobs, or 23%. The professional and business services is projected to have a loss of 37,200 jobs, or 9.7%. Natural resources and mining is projected to have job losses of 2,300 jobs, or 17%. Overall, the forecast projects a continued reduction of nonfarm employment for 2009 and 2010.</R>

Recent State Financial Results

<R>Revenues and expenditures by Arizona State Government in recent years may indicate broad economic trends, but may not be indicative of financial results or trends affecting the securities of particular governmental issuers in the State. The budget for the State for each fiscal year is required by law to be balanced, with planned expenditures being no higher than anticipated revenues and other available funds. As of September 2009, the overall State budget for 2009-2010 remained unbalanced, with further budget adjustments during the fiscal year expected.</R>

<R>The State reported that Arizona's state assets exceeded liabilities at the close of the 2008 fiscal year by $21.6 billion ("net assets"). Of this amount, $916.892 million was unrestricted, $6.6 billion was restricted for specific purposes, and $15.9 billion was invested in capital assets, net of related debt.</R>

<R>The State's total net assets decreased in fiscal year 2008 by $336.201 billion. Net assets of governmental activities decreased by $435.877 billion, while net assets of the business-type activities increased by $99.676 million.</R>

<R>As of the close of the fiscal year, the State's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $5.5 billion, a decrease of $776.048 million from the beginning of the year. Approximately 19% of the combined fund balances, or $1.0 billion, was available to meet the State's current and future needs ("unreserved fund balances").</R>

<R>As of the close of the fiscal year, the unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $108.914 million, or less than 1% of total General Fund expenditures.</R>

<R>The enterprise funds reported net assets at year end of $3.2 billion, an increase of $94.494 million during the year.</R>

<R>The Land Endowments Fund reported fund balance at year end of $2.5 billion, an increase of $89.667 million during the year. The Land Endowments Fund is used to help finance public education within the State as required by the federal government and the State's Constitution.</R>

<R>The State's total long-term primary government debt increased during the fiscal year to $6.7 billion, and increase of $683.706 million (more than 11%). During the year, the State issued revenue bonds, grant anticipation notes, and certificates of participation of $850.4 million $68 million and $239.176 million, respectively.</R>

<R>The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the State. At June 30, 2008, unreserved fund balance of the General Fund was $108.914 million, while total fund balance closed the year at $361.622 million. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, unreserved fund balance represented less than 1% of total expenditures and other financing uses, while total fund balance represented 2% of the same amount.</R>

<R>The fund balance of the State's General Fund decreased $1.6 billion during the fiscal year. The primary source of the decrease in fund balance is that expenditures increased by $1.8 billion, while revenues only increased by $299.053 million. Although intergovernmental revenues increased $998.636 million from the prior fiscal year, sales tax revenues decreased $216.957 million (4%) and income tax revenues decreased $454.320 million (10%). Sales taxes paid by retail stores and construction contractors decreased by 4% and 10%, respectively, when compared to fiscal year 2007 sales tax receipts. Tax law reductions took effect in fiscal year 2008 that resulted in a 5% reduction in individual income tax rates and implementation of a new corporate income tax enhanced sales factor.</R>

<R>Health and welfare expenditures and intergovernmental revenue (including federal grants and county funding) increased by $1.2 billion, or 13%, and $998.636 million, or 13%, as compared to fiscal year 2007, respectively. The increase in expenditures in fiscal year 2008 can be attributable to increased enrollment in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System's (AHCCCS) programs and associated provider reimbursement inflation. Overall program enrollment in the various AHCCCS programs increased 5.1%, primarily due to growth in the Social Security Act Title XIX (Medicare) Waiver Group childless adults, families and children, and long term care program populations. Utilization and inflationary trends for health care costs are incorporated into a rate development process for the managed care organization capitation rates. The capitation rates were increased by a weighted average of 6.7% for the contract period of October 2007 to September 2008, primarily due to transportation costs, dental rates, cesarean births, rural health care costs due to physician and specialty shortages, and new and more expensive health care technologies.</R>

<R>Education expenditures increased $310.059 million, or 6%, compared to fiscal year 2007. The increase can be primarily attributed to an increase in State assistance for kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) operating expenditures largely to support an increase of 26,756 student enrollments and a 2.0% inflation adjustment. The fiscal year 2008 budget provided for an additional $80 million in a new kindergarten funding for the second year of a two year phase-in. Programs supported by federal grant aid increased by approximately $27.261 million during fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>The Transportation and Aviation Planning, Highway Maintenance and Safety Fund is responsible for the repair and maintenance of existing roads, paying the debt service for roads that are built from the issuance of revenue bonds and grant anticipation notes, and providing technical assistance with road construction provided by contractors hired by the Arizona Department of Transportation. Total fund balance decreased $24.341 million during fiscal year 2008. The fund balance decrease was due, in part, to the transfer of $26.705 million to the General Fund due to State legislation, which required the transfer in order to help the State balance the General Fund during fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Arizona governmental revenues continued to slow in fiscal year 2009. Preliminary reports from the Arizona Joint Legislative Budget Committee indicate the year-to-date revenue shortfall was $893.9 million below the January revised budget forecast. Preliminary estimates of full year General Fund revenues for 2009 were $8.24 billion, the lowest level since fiscal year 2005. After adjusting for fund transfers and other amounts, full year collections for 2009 were estimated at $7.69 billion. This amount was down 18.4% when compared to fiscal 2008. This was also the largest dollar and percentage decline in revenues in the records going back to World War II.</R>

<R>Sales tax revenues dropped 13.7% for fiscal year 2009. Total collections of $3.76 billion were the lowest since fiscal year 2005. Individual income tax revenues dropped 24.6% for fiscal year 2009. Total collections of $2.57 billion were the lowest since fiscal year 2004. Corporate income tax collections declined 24.5% for fiscal year 2009. Total collections of $592 million were the lowest since fiscal 2004. Based on these preliminary numbers, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimates a fiscal year 2009 shortfall in revenues at $474 million.</R>

Constitutional Limitations on Taxes, Expenditures and Revenue Increases

Limitations on Property Taxes. Certain obligations held by the funds may be obligations of issues that rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. Arizona law limits the taxing powers of Arizona local governments and districts. There are two separate tax systems: a Primary system for taxes levied to pay current operation and maintenance expenses; and a Secondary system for taxes levied to pay principal and interest on bonded indebtedness, special district assessments and tax overrides. There are specific provisions under each system governing property value, the basis of assessment and maximum annual tax levies.

Under the Primary system, property value is the basis for determining primary property taxes of locally assessed real property and may increase by more than 10% per year only under certain circumstances. Under the Secondary system, there is no limitation on annual increases in full cash value of any property. Under the Primary system, annual tax levies are limited based on the nature of the property being taxed, and the nature of the taxing authority. Taxes levied for Primary purposes on residential property only are limited to 1% of the full cash value of such property. In addition, taxes levied for Primary purposes on all types of property by counties, cities, towns and community college districts are limited to a maximum increase of 2% over the prior year's levy, plus any amount directly attributable to new construction and annexation and involuntary tort judgments. The 2% limitation does not apply to taxes levied for Primary purposes on behalf of local school districts.

Annual tax levies for bonded indebtedness and special district assessments are unlimited under the Secondary system.

Expenditure Limits. Provisions of the Arizona Constitution and Arizona legislation limit increases in annual expenditures by counties, cities and towns and community college districts and school districts to an amount determined by the Arizona Economic Estimates Commission. This limitation is based on the entity's actual expenditures for fiscal year 1979-80, with this base adjusted annually to reflect changes in population, cost of living, and boundaries.

Limitations on State Revenue Increases. A 1992 amendment to the Constitution of Arizona states that any legislation that provides for a net increase in State revenues will be effective only on the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of each house of the State Legislature, and Gubernatorial approval. If the Governor vetoes the measure, then the legislation may not become effective unless the legislation is approved by an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members of each house. The constitutional amendment does not apply to the effects of inflation, increasing assessed valuation or any other similar effect that increases State revenue but which is not caused by an affirmative act of the Legislature. The budgets enacted since fiscal year 1993-94 have not provided for any increases in State revenues that required an approval from two-thirds of the State Legislature.

Legislation Limiting Local Property Taxes. On June 21, 2006, Governor Napolitano signed state legislation to freeze local property tax assessments at the 2005 level, with annual increases limited to 2 percent plus the value of new construction.

Obligations of the State of Arizona

The State issues no general obligation debt instruments. The Arizona Constitution, under Article 9, Section 5, provides that the State may contract general obligation debts not to exceed $350,000. This provision has been interpreted to restrict the State from pledging its credit as a sole payment for debts incurred for the operation of the State government. As a result, the State and its agencies and instrumentalities pledge either dedicated revenue streams or the constructed building or equipment acquired as security for the repayment of long-term debt instruments.

Certain State agencies and instrumentalities may issue debt secured by limited special revenue sources. Additionally, obligations such as lease-purchase agreements and certificates of participation that are subject to annual appropriation are not debt within the meaning of Arizona's constitutional and statutory limitations.

<R>As of June 30, 2008, the State reported having long-term revenue bonds, grant anticipation notes and certificates of participation outstanding in the amounts of $3.661 billion, $298 million and $ 2.039 billion, respectively, for a total of $5.999 billion.</R>

<R>Legislation recently passed by the State Legislature authorizes the School Facilities Board to enter into lease-to-own transactions for up to $100,000,000 of qualified school construction bonds under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act for new construction projects. Additional legislation authorizes the State to enter into sale and simultaneous lease-purchase agreements for state owned facilities to generate up to $735 million for the General Fund.</R>

Obligations of Other Issuers

The creditworthiness of obligations issued by local Arizona issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State of Arizona, and there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

Unlike the State, local governments in Arizona, including cities, towns, counties and school districts, may issue general obligation debt payable from ad valorem property taxes if approved at an election. Examples of other types of obligations issued by local government in Arizona include revenue bonds payable from the net revenues of municipal utility systems, improvement district bonds payable from special assessments against properties benefited by the improvements, municipal street and highway improvement bonds payable from state-shared street and highway user taxes, fees and charges, bonds and other obligations payable from locally imposed and state-shared transaction privilege (sales) taxes and lease purchase certificates of participation.

Municipal obligations which are assessment bonds or community facilities district bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by land that is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing the risk of a default on the bonds. The lien on the property is generally the only security for such bonds, although for improvement district bonds of cities and towns, the city or town must buy defaulted properties if no other bidder appears at the sale.

Certain Arizona lease-purchase obligations, though payable from the general fund of the local government, are subject to annual appropriation by the applicable governing body in amounts sufficient to pay the lease. Failure by the governing body to make a sufficient appropriation is legally not a default and there may be no adequate remedies available to the holders of the certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event nonappropriation occurs.

The repayment of mortgage revenue bonds or other obligations secured by real property may be affected by laws limiting creditors' rights and subject to the exercise of judicial discretion. Health care and hospital securities may be affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care providers under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (the State's indigent health care program).

The State Legislature has taken several actions in recent years in order to balance the State budget. Such actions could in the future include reductions in amounts distributed to cities, towns, counties and other local governments. Such reductions could put pressure on the budgets of the political subdivisions affected. It is not possible at this time to predict either the amount of any projected shortfalls or what actions the State Legislature might take or the effect of any such actions on local governments.

Legislation has been in the past and in the future may be introduced which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures. It is not possible to predict the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted, or if enacted, how it would affect Arizona municipal obligations.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO

<R>The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico or the Commonwealth), and is based on information drawn from official statements and other publicly available documents relating to the securities offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies, and instrumentalities, as available on the date of this SAI. FMR has not independently verified any of the information contained in such official statements and other publicly available documents but is not aware of any fact which would render such information materially inaccurate.</R>

Relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States

<R>Puerto Rico's constitutional status is that of a territory of the United States (U.S.), and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over Puerto Rico is the U.S. Congress. The Commonwealth exercises virtually the same control over its internal affairs as do the 50 states. It differs from the states, however, in its relationship with the federal government. The people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the U.S. but do not vote in national elections. They are represented in Congress by a Resident Commissioner that has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote (except in House committees and sub-committees to which he belongs). Most federal taxes, except those such as Social Security taxes, are not levied in Puerto Rico. No federal income tax is collected from Puerto Rico residents on income earned in Puerto Rico, except for certain federal employees who are subject to taxes on their salaries. Income earned by Puerto Rico residents from sources outside of Puerto Rico, however, is subject to federal income tax. The official languages of Puerto Rico are Spanish and English.</R>

Government Structure

<R>The Constitution of Puerto Rico provides for the separation of powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. The Governor is elected every four years. The Legislative Assembly consists of a Senate and a House of Representatives, the members of which are elected for four-year terms. The highest court within the local jurisdiction is the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. Decisions of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico may be appealed to the Supreme Court of the U.S. under the same terms and conditions as decisions from state courts. Puerto Rico constitutes a District in the Federal Judiciary and has its own U.S. District Court. Decisions of this court may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and from there to the Supreme Court of the U.S.</R>

Governmental responsibilities assumed by the central government of the Commonwealth are similar in nature to those of the various state governments. In addition, the central government assumes responsibility for local police and fire protection, education, public health and welfare programs, and economic development.

<R>Principal Officials Responsible for Fiscal Matters</R>

Mr. García holds a dual degree in Business from the Wharton School and in Comparative Literature from the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania.</R>

The Economy of Puerto Rico

<R>The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked to the U.S. economy, as most of the external factors that affect the Puerto Rico economy (other than oil prices) are determined by the policies and performance of the mainland economy. These external factors include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures. During fiscal year 2008, approximately 74% of Puerto Rico's exports went to the U.S. mainland, which was also the source of approximately 47% of Puerto Rico's imports. In fiscal year 2008, Puerto Rico experienced a positive merchandise trade balance of $19.0 billion.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth in the past has established policies and programs directed principally at developing the manufacturing sector and expanding and modernizing the Commonwealth's infrastructure. Domestic and foreign investments have historically been stimulated by selective tax exemptions, development loans, and other financial and tax incentives. Infrastructure expansion and modernization have been to a large extent financed by bonds and notes issued by the Commonwealth, its public corporations, and municipalities. Economic progress has been aided by significant increases in the levels of education and occupational skills of the population.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico's economy experienced a considerable transformation during the past sixty-five years, passing from an agriculture economy to an industrial one. Virtually every sector of the economy participated in this expansion. Factors contributing to this expansion include government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, and the relatively low cost of borrowing. In some years, these factors were aided by a significant rise in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects, private investment, primarily in housing, and relatively low oil prices. Nevertheless, the significant oil price increases during the past four years, the continuous contraction of the manufacturing sector, and the budgetary pressures on government finances triggered a general contraction in the economy. Puerto Rico's economy is currently in a recession that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, a fiscal year in which the real gross national product grew by only 0.5%. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the real gross national product contracted by 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively. This contraction has continued into fiscal year 2009, for which the Puerto Rico Planning Board (the Planning Board) expects a reduction of 3.4% in real gross national product. While the trend was expected to continue in fiscal year 2010, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009 that the expected positive impact of the U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures discussed below under Fiscal and Economic Reconstruction should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan also described below under Fiscal and Economic Reconstruction and revised its projections for fiscal year 2010 to reflect an increase of 0.1% in real gross national product. The Planning Board is also projecting increases in real gross national product of 0.9% and 1.0% for fiscal years 2011 and 2012, respectively.</R>

<R>Nominal personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently from 1947 to 2008. In fiscal year 2008, aggregate personal income was $56.2 billion ($44.8 billion at 2000 prices) and personal income per capita was $14,237 ($11,341 in 2000 prices). Personal income includes transfer payments to individuals in Puerto Rico under various social programs. Total U.S. federal transfer payments to individuals amounted to $12.3 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($10.5 billion in fiscal year 2007). Entitlements for previously performed services or resulting from contributions to programs such as Social Security, Veterans' Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions were $9.3 billion, or 76% of the transfer payments to individuals in fiscal year 2008 ($8.6 billion, or 82%, in fiscal year 2007). The remainder of the federal transfers to individuals is represented by grants, mostly concentrated in the Nutritional Assistance Program (Food Stamps) and Pell Grant (higher education) Scholarships. The increase in federal transfer payments to individuals, and the corresponding decline in the share of entitlements to total transfers to individuals, from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008 was due almost exclusively to the U.S. federal tax rebates implemented in fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Total average annual employment (as measured by the Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources Household Employment Survey, known as the Household Survey) has also increased during the last decade. From fiscal year 1999 to fiscal year 2008, total employment has increased at an average annual growth rate of 0.6% to 1,217,500. However, there has been a decrease in employment during the last fiscal year, related to the current recession.</R>

<R>The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy in terms of production and income are manufacturing and what is herein referred to as the service sector. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher-wage, high-technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, computers, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high technology machinery and equipment. The service sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, communications and public utilities, and other services, plays a major role in the economy. It ranks second to manufacturing in contribution to the gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment.</R>

<R>Forecast for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. The Planning Board's gross national product forecast for fiscal year 2009, which was released in February 2009, projected a decline of 3.4% in constant dollars, or an increase of 1.5% in current dollars. Personal income is expected to decline by 1.5% in real terms, or to increase by 2.3% in nominal terms. While a prolongation of the economic contraction through fiscal year 2010 had been expected, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009 that the expected positive impact of the U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures discussed below should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan also described below, leading it to adjust its projections for fiscal year 2010. The Planning Board is now projecting a slight increase in gross national product of 0.1% in constant dollars or 3.4% in current dollars. The major factors affecting the economy at this point are, among others, the current contraction of U.S. economic activity; the difficulties of the U.S. and local financial systems, which affect the local economy directly; the increase in federal transfers associated to the economic stimulus enacted by the U.S. government; and the local difficulties associated with the Commonwealth's prolonged fiscal crisis, including the cost-reduction initiatives to be implemented as part of the fiscal stabilization plan discussed below.</R>

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, from July 2008 to March 2009, averaged 1,179,900, a decrease of 3.1% from the same period of the previous year. Moreover, for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the unemployment rate was 13.0%, an increase from 11.0% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2008. The Planning Board's preliminary reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy for fiscal year 2008 indicate that real gross national product decreased 2.5% (3.8% in current dollars) over fiscal year 2007. Nominal gross national product was $60.8 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($43.0 billion in 2000 prices), compared to $58.6 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices). Aggregate personal income increased from $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices) to $56.2 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($44.8 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita increased from $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices) to $14,237 in fiscal year 2008 ($11,341 in 2000 prices). The significant increase in personal income in fiscal year 2008 is due in part to the tax rebate program implemented by the Bush Administration during that fiscal year.</R>

<R>According to the Household Survey, total employment for fiscal year 2008 averaged 1,217,500, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 1,262,900 for fiscal year 2007. At the same time, the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2008 was 11.0%, an increase from 10.4% for fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Among the variables contributing to the decrease in gross national product were the continuous contraction of the manufacturing and construction sectors, as well as the current contraction of U.S. economic activity. Furthermore, the decline in Puerto Rico's gross national product was not offset by the federal tax rebates due to the high levels of oil prices during fiscal year 2008. The persistent high level of the price of oil and its derivatives (such as gasoline) during that period served to reduce the income available for other purchases and, thereby, negatively affected domestic demand. Due to the Commonwealth's dependence on oil for power generation and gasoline (in spite of its recent improvements in power-production diversification), the high level of oil prices accounted for an increased outflow of local income in fiscal year 2008. The current difficulties associated with the financial crisis resulted in lower short-term interest rates, but this did not translate into an improvement in the construction sector.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2007. The Planning Board's reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy during fiscal year 2007 indicate that the real gross national product fell by 1.9%. Nominal gross national product was $58.6 billion ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices), compared to $56.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($45.0 billion in 2000 prices). This represents an increase in nominal gross national product of 3.2%. Aggregate personal income was $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices), as compared to $50.8 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita was $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices), as compared to $12,944 in fiscal year 2006 ($11,052 in 2000 prices).</R>

<R>Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction</R>

<R>The new administration has developed and commenced implementing a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan that seeks to achieve fiscal balance and restore economic growth. The administration believes that fiscal stabilization is central to safeguarding the Commonwealth's investment-grade credit rating and restoring Puerto Rico's economic growth and development. During the first quarter of 2009, the Legislative Assembly enacted three bills providing for the implementation of this plan, which is composed of two main elements: the Fiscal Stabilization Plan (the Fiscal Plan) and the Economic Reconstruction Plan (the Economic Plan).</R>

<R>In addition, the new administration is in the process of designing and implementing a series of economic development initiatives with the aim of enhancing Puerto Rico's competitiveness and strengthening specific industry sectors. These economic development initiatives are intended to support the prospects of long-term and sustainable growth.</R>

<R>Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Fiscal Plan has three main objectives: (i) stabilize the short-term fiscal situation; (ii) safeguard and strengthen the Commonwealth's credit rating; and (iii) achieve budgetary balance by fiscal year 2013. The Fiscal Plan, which is generally contained in Act No. 7 of March 9, 2009 (Act 7), includes operating expense-reduction measures, tax revenue enforcement measures, tax increases, and financial measures, as discussed below.</R>

<R>Expense Reduction Measures. A significant portion of Puerto Rico's current budget deficit is attributable to the accumulated effect of high operating expenses in the government. The Fiscal Plan seeks to reduce the recurring expense base of the government to make it consistent with the level of government revenues. The Fiscal Plan establishes a government-wide operating expense-reduction program aimed at reducing payroll and other operating expenses by $2 billion.</R>

<R>Payroll expense is the most significant component of the government's recurring expense base. The reduction in payroll expenses contemplated by the Fiscal Plan will be implemented in three phases and includes certain benefits conferred to participating employees, as follows:</R>

<R>Phase I: Incentivized Voluntary Resignation and Voluntary Permanent Workday Reduction Programs: The Incentivized Voluntary Resignation Program offered public employees a compensation incentive based on the time of service in the government. The Voluntary Permanent Workday Reduction Program was available to public employees with 20 or more years of service. The Workday Reduction Program consists of a voluntary reduction of one regular workday every fifteen calendar days, which is equivalent to approximately a 10% reduction in annual workdays. Phase I commenced in March 2009 and public employees had until April 27, 2009 to submit the required information to participate in the voluntary programs available under Phase I and be eligible for the Public Employees Alternatives Program. On May 14, 2009, OMB announced that based on the number of employees who agreed to participate in these programs, the expected reduction in expenses for fiscal year 2010 would be $50 million.</R>
<R>Phase II: Involuntary Layoff Plan: As provided in Act 7, Phase II will go into effect because the objective of reducing $2 billion in expenses was not achieved after implementation of Phase I and Phase III (see below). Under Phase II, subject to certain exceptions, all employees with transitory, non-permanent positions will be terminated. In addition, Phase II provides for one or more rounds of involuntary layoffs and applies to all public employees unless specifically excluded by Act 7, strictly according to seniority in public service, starting with employees with least seniority. The plan excludes employees listed in Act 7 as providing "essential" services, those paid by federal funds, those on military leave, and political appointees and their trust employees (political appointees and their trust employees, who do not hold a permanent or career position in the government, are referred to herein as "non-career" employees). Employees in Phase II will receive a severance package that includes health coverage payment for up to a maximum of six months or until the former public employee is eligible for health insurance coverage at another job.</R>
<R>Phase III: Temporary Suspension of Certain Provisions of Laws, Collective Bargaining Agreements, and Other Agreements: Phase III, which went into effect on March 9, 2009, imposes a temporary freeze of salary increases and other economic benefits included in laws, collective bargaining agreements, and any other agreements. Phase III will remain in effect for a period of two years, but this term may be shortened by the governor by means of an Executive Order should OMB certify that the savings resulting from the implementation of Act 7's expense-reduction measures are sufficient to cover the law's objectives. OMB has indicated that the expected savings from the implementation of these measures is $187 million for fiscal year 2010.</R>
<R>Public Employees Alternatives Program: The employees that elected to participate in the Incentivized Voluntary Resignation Program or the Voluntary Permanent Workday Reduction Program under Phase I, or that are subject to involuntary layoffs under Phase II, will be eligible for the Public Employees Alternatives Program. This program assists public employees in their transition to other productive alternatives, and offers vouchers for college education, technical education, and professional training, as well as for establishing a business and for relocation.</R>

<R>In addition, Act 7 provides that, for a period of two years, collective bargaining agreements that have already expired or that expire while the law is in effect and that relate to public employees may not be renegotiated or renewed.</R>

<R>On April 13, 2009, a group of government employees along with labor organizations that represent governmental employees filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico seeking, among other relief, an injunction to stop the Government of Puerto Rico from implementing the expense-reduction provisions of Act 7 under the theory that such provisions violate U.S. and Puerto Rico law prohibitions on impairment of contracts and retroactive application of laws. The administration intends to defend vigorously the constitutionality of Act 7 and continues with its implementation.</R>

<R>The second element of the expense-reduction measures, which pertains to other operating expenses, will be conducted through an austerity program in combination with other measures, such as reduction in expenses of the public health plan, Executive Branch reorganization, and efficiency measures supported by budgeting and accounting processes, and information technology. The austerity program mandates a 10% reduction in other operational expenses, including cellular phone use, credit cards, and official vehicles.</R>

<R>Tax Revenue Enforcement Measures. The Fiscal Plan seeks to increase tax revenues by implementing a more rigorous and ongoing tax enforcement and compliance strategy. Specific tax enforcement initiatives include: (i) enhancements to federal grants and fund receipts; (ii) stronger collections and auditing efforts on Puerto Rico's sales and use tax; and (iii) a voluntary tax compliance program.</R>

<R>Tax Increases. The goal of achieving fiscal and budgetary balance requires a combination of measures that include the introduction of permanent and temporary tax increases. The Fiscal Plan includes six temporary and four permanent revenue increasing measures. With respect to temporary revenue increasing measures, the administration will implement: (i) a 5% surtax on income of certain individuals; (ii) a 5% surtax on income of certain corporations; (iii) a 5% income tax on credit unions (commonly known as cooperativas in Puerto Rico); (iv) a 5% income tax on Puerto Rico international banking entities; (v) a special property tax on residential real estate; and (vi) a moratorium on certain tax credits. The majority of these temporary measures will be in effect for three fiscal years beginning in fiscal year 2010. The permanent measures include (i) modifications to the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations; (ii) an increase in the excise taxes on cigarettes; (iii) new excise taxes on motorcycles; and (iv) an increase in the excise taxes on alcoholic beverages.</R>

<R>Financial Measures. The administration expects to carry out several financial initiatives in order to achieve fiscal stability throughout the implementation period of the Fiscal Plan. These financial measures include, among others, a financing or bond issuance program the proceeds of which would be used to bridge the structural budgetary imbalance during the implementation period of the Fiscal Plan and funding some initiatives in the Economic Plan.</R>

<R>The financial measures are mainly anchored on the bond-issuance program of Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA by its Spanish-language acronym). Act 7, in conjunction with Act No. 91 of May 13, 2006, as amended (Act 91), and Act No. 1 of January 14, 2009 (Act 1), allocated to COFINA, commencing on July 1, 2009, 2.75% (one-half of the tax rate of 5.5%) of the sales and use tax imposed by the central government, which increased COFINA's financing capacity and allows the Commonwealth to achieve fiscal stability throughout the implementation period of the Fiscal Plan.</R>

<R>In addition to the increased tax allocations to COFINA, the financial initiatives that were enacted into law include the creation of the Savings Notes for the Economic Cooperation of Puerto Rico (the Saving Notes Program) and allows for the refinancing of a portion of the existing debt of the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority. The Savings Notes Program consists of an issuance of up to $20 million in short-term general obligation notes for retail distribution to Puerto Rico residents.</R>

<R>The administration expects that its Fiscal Plan will provide more fiscal stability, thereby safeguarding and strengthening Puerto Rico's credit rating. The administration further expects that the resulting fiscal structure will be sustainable and conducive to economic growth and development.</R>

<R>Economic Reconstruction Plan</R>

<R>To balance the impact of the Fiscal Plan, the administration has developed and is implementing an economic reconstruction program to stimulate growth in the short term and lay the foundation for long-term economic development. In addition, the administration is developing a comprehensive, long-term, economic development program aimed at improving Puerto Rico's overall global relevance, competitiveness, and business environment, and increasing private-sector capital formation and participation in the economy.</R>

<R>The Economic Plan consists of three main components: (i) two economic stimulus programs; (ii) Public-Private Partnerships; and (iii) a supplemental stimulus plan.</R>

<R>Economic Stimulus Programs. The cornerstone of Puerto Rico's short-term economic reconstruction plan is the implementation of two economic stimulus programs aimed at re-igniting growth and counterbalancing any adverse effects associated with the Fiscal Plan. The economic stimulus programs consist of Puerto Rico's participation in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) (also referred to herein as the Federal Stimulus) and a local plan (the Local Stimulus) designed to complement the Federal Stimulus.</R>

<R>Federal Stimulus Program: Puerto Rico is eligible to participate in ARRA because of its status as a U.S. jurisdiction. Puerto Rico expects to receive up to $5 billion in stimulus funds from ARRA. The funds will be distributed in four main categories: relief to individuals, budgetary and fiscal relief, taxpayers' relief, and capital improvements. This Federal Stimulus coming from ARRA places an emphasis in relief for individuals and taxpayers. In terms of government programs, the Federal Stimulus allocates funds to education, agriculture and food assistance, health, housing and urban development, labor, and transportation, among others.</R>
<R>Local Stimulus Program: The administration has formulated the Local Stimulus to supplement the Federal Stimulus and ameliorate specific local challenges associated with the local mortgage market, the availability of credit, and the infrastructure and construction sectors. Despite the fact that the Local Stimulus amounts to a $500 million investment by the government, it has been estimated that its effect will be greater due to its loan-guarantee programs, which will be coordinated in collaboration with commercial banks in Puerto Rico. The Local Stimulus is composed of three main elements: (i) capital improvements; (ii) stimulus for small- and medium-sized businesses, and (iii) consumer relief in the form of direct payments to retirees, mortgage-debt restructuring for consumers that face risk of default, and consumer stimulus for the purchase of housing.</R>

<R>Public-Private Partnerships. The administration believes that Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) represent an important tool for economic development, particularly in times of fiscal imbalance. PPPs are collaborations between government and non-governmental entities-such as private-sector, non-profit organizations, credit unions, and township corporations (corporaciones municipales) to develop infrastructure projects, manage government assets or provide services. The non-governmental partner takes on certain responsibilities and risks related to the development of the project in exchange for receiving the benefits of operating it.</R>

<R>PPPs provide the opportunity for lower project development costs, reduction of financial risk, creation of additional revenue sources, establishment of service quality metrics, and re-direction of government resources to focus on the implementation of public policy.</R>

<R>The administration is working on establishing the legal framework that will implement the procedures for establishing PPPs. Puerto Rico has opportunities for the establishment of PPPs in the areas of highways, ports, transportation, solid waste, potable water, and renewable energy, among others.</R>

<R>Supplemental Stimulus Plan. The Economic Plan includes a Supplemental Stimulus Plan, which will provide investment in strategic areas with the objective of laying the foundations for long-term growth in Puerto Rico. The Supplemental Stimulus will begin after the first year of implementation of the Federal and Local Stimuli. The coordinated implementation of the Supplemental Stimulus during the second year of the Federal and Local Stimuli will reinforce continuity in re-igniting economic growth while making key investments for long-term development.</R>

<R>The Supplemental Stimulus will be conducted by GDB through a combination of direct investments and guaranteed lending. Specifically, the Supplemental Stimulus will target critical areas such as the banking system, key infrastructure projects, public capital improvement programs, private-sector lending to specific industries, and the export and research-and-development knowledge industries. The Supplemental Stimulus will take into account the strategic needs that Puerto Rico must fulfill in order to become a more competitive player in its region and in the global economy.</R>

<R>The Supplemental Stimulus is intended to complement a comprehensive Economic Development Program that will be implemented by the Department of Economic Development and Commerce, as discussed below.</R>

<R>Economic Development Program</R>

<R>The Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DEDC), in coordination with other government agencies, is in the process of formulating and implementing a series of economic development initiatives with the goal of laying the groundwork for sustainable economic growth. These initiatives are centered on the dual mission of fostering multi-sector growth while reducing costs and barriers to business and investment, and are a medium-to-long-term counterpart to the Economic Reconstruction Plan and the Supplemental Stimulus Plan described above. The economic development initiatives are aimed at improving Puerto Rico's overall global relevance, competitiveness, and business environment and seek to increase private-sector capital formation and participation in the Puerto Rico economy.</R>

<R>The administration will emphasize three main initiatives to enhance Puerto Rico's competitive position: (i) overhauling the permitting process; (ii) reforming the labor market; and (iii) reducing energy costs.</R>

<R>The first initiative, the reengineering of Puerto Rico's permitting and licensing process, has already been initiated and legislation has been filed. In the short term, this restructuring is focused on eliminating the significant backlog of unprocessed permits that are currently in the pipeline of various government agencies. Longer term, this effort seeks to significantly reduce the number of inter-agency processes and transactions currently required by creating a centralized, client-focused system that simplifies and shortens the permitting process for applicants.</R>

<R>Initiatives will also be undertaken with the purpose of strengthening Puerto Rico's labor market. The administration seeks to encourage greater labor-force participation by providing the private sector with more flexibility in establishing feasible labor arrangements. One focus of the labor-market reform will be the modernization of Puerto Rico's regulatory framework. Legislative changes to be introduced will focus on bringing out-of-date labor laws and regulations in line with U.S. and international standards with respect to such matters as flex-time arrangements, overtime rules, workers' compensation, and benefit requirements, among others. This labor reform is expected to provide a significant improvement in Puerto Rico's competitiveness in the global marketplace.</R>

<R>The administration considers the adoption of a new energy policy to be critical for Puerto Rico's competitiveness. Presently, fluctuations in oil prices have a significant effect on Puerto Rico's overall economic performance. The administration will focus on reducing Puerto Rico's dependence on fossil fuels, particularly oil, through the promotion of diverse, renewable-energy technologies. By implementing a new energy policy, the Commonwealth will seek to lower energy costs, reduce energy-price volatility, and establish environmentally sustainable energy production through a reduction in ecologically harmful emissions. The Commonwealth is facilitating the development of several initiatives, including the wheeling of energy, conservation efforts, and the installation of new renewable generation capacity, among others. These initiatives are expected not only to address energy prices in Puerto Rico, but also to provide for a means of attracting investment in the energy sector.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth will complement these competitive initiatives with specific strategic initiatives with the objective of creating jobs and increasing economic activity across various sectors of the Puerto Rico economy. The Commonwealth has natural or structural competitive advantages in several areas, such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing. These advantages provide opportunities to further economic activities in manufacturing, science and technology, tourism, renewable energy, trade, and professional services. The specific initiatives will be designed to promote sustainable economic growth while diversifying Puerto Rico's economic base.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico Tax Incentives. One of the benefits enjoyed by the Commonwealth is that corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the U.S. with a local branch) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to federal income taxes on income derived in Puerto Rico. This enables the Commonwealth to utilize local tax legislation as a tool for stimulating economic development, and it has done so for many years.</R>

<R>In this regard, the Commonwealth has enacted legislation providing tax exemptions and tax incentives for businesses operating within certain sectors of the economy. Tax incentives laws have existed in Puerto Rico for over fifty years. Act. No. 73 (the Economic Incentives Act), the most recent tax incentives act, covers companies dedicated to manufacturing and the export of services and was enacted on May 28, 2008. All eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws may apply for the benefits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act streamlines the process for obtaining tax incentives and provides recipients with certainty as to the amount of benefits they will receive over time. The Economic Incentives Act expands the definition of manufacturing to include cluster and supply chain concepts, addresses issues of cost competitiveness, and simplifies the applicable rules. The tax structure established by the Economic Incentives Act generally has a 4% income tax rate and a 12% withholding tax rate for royalties. An alternative structure has an 8% income tax rate and a 2% withholding tax on royalties. For existing businesses with tax rates between 2% and 4%, the Secretary of the Department Economic Development and Commerce has the discretion to grant the same tax benefits if doing so is considered to be in the best interests of Puerto Rico's economy. Income tax rates may be reduced by an additional 0.5% for projects located in low- or mid-economic development areas. Additional exceptions to the general tax structure exist for pioneering activities, local firms and small businesses. Pioneering activities may have a 1% income tax rate, or no income taxes if the research and development activity is located completely within Puerto Rico. Local firms may enjoy a tax rate as low as 3%, and for small- and medium-sized businesses the tax rate may be as low as 1%, provided such activities are eligible for certain credits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>A variety of tax credits are available under the Economic Incentives Act, including: for the purchase of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; for job creation; for investment in research and development; for investment in energy-generation equipment; to reduce the cost of energy; to transfer technology; and for investors who acquire exempt operations in the process of shutting down. There are also investment credits for projects classified as strategic projects. Some of these credits can be carried forward and others can be sold.</R>

<R>Employment and Unemployment</R>

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal year 2008 averaged 1,217,500, a 3.6% decrease from 1,262,900 in fiscal year 2007. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the number of persons employed averaged 1,179,900, a decrease of 3.1% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Currently, the unemployment rate in Puerto Rico is slightly less than twice the U.S. average.</R>

<R>Economic Performance by Sector</R>

<R>From fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2008, the manufacturing and service sectors generated the largest portion of gross domestic product. The manufacturing, service, and government sectors were the three sectors of the economy that provided the most employment in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>Manufacturing. Manufacturing is the largest sector of the Puerto Rico economy in terms of gross domestic product. The Planning Board figures show that in fiscal year 2008 manufacturing generated $38.5 billion, or 41.2%, of gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2008, payroll employment for the manufacturing sector was 104,200, a decrease of 3.4% compared with fiscal year 2007. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the average manufacturing employment was 99,300, a decrease of 5.3% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Most of Puerto Rico's manufacturing output is shipped to the U.S. mainland, which is also the principal source of semi-finished manufactured articles on which further manufacturing operations are performed in Puerto Rico. Federal minimum wage laws are applicable in Puerto Rico. For fiscal year 2008, the average hourly manufacturing wage rate in Puerto Rico was approximately 68.5% of the average mainland U.S. rate.</R>

<R>Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is concentrated in two major industries. Pharmaceuticals and other chemical products and machinery and metal products constituted 90% of the total manufacturing production in fiscal year 2008. Although the manufacturing sector is less prone to business cycles than the agricultural sector, that does not guarantee the avoidance of the effects of a general downturn of manufacturing on the rest of the economy. In the last three decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift in emphasis is best exemplified by large investments over the last decade in the pharmaceutical and medical-equipment industries in Puerto Rico. One of the factors encouraging the development of the manufacturing sector had been the tax incentives offered by the federal and Puerto Rico governments. Federal legislation enacted in 1996, however, which amended Section 936 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the U.S. Code), phased out these federal tax incentives during a ten-year period that ended in 2006. This change has had a long-term impact on local manufacturing activity.</R>

<R>Total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 14,200 from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2008. Manufacturing employment had been declining during the past decade, but the decline accelerated during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, falling 10.6% and 4.8%, respectively. Thereafter, manufacturing employment seemed to stabilize around 118,000 jobs, but the acceleration in job losses reappeared in fiscal year 2006 with the sector experiencing another significant drop of 4.0%. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, manufacturing employment decreased by 4.2% and 3.4%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the sector lost an average of 5,600 jobs, or 5.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. In summary, the manufacturing sector lost nearly 17,000 jobs from calendar year 2005 to 2008, and, according to the trend observed for the first months of 2009, it is likely that it will lose more than 5,000 additional jobs in calendar year 2009. Given that this sector used to pay the highest wages, on average, in Puerto Rico, its general downturn has represented a major difficulty for restoring growth for the whole economy. There are several reasons that explain this sector's job shrinkage: the end of the phase-out of Section 936 of the U.S. Code, the net loss of patents on certain pharmaceutical products, the escalation of manufacturing production costs (particularly labor and electricity), the increased use of job outsourcing, and, currently, the effects of the global economic decline. Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector is facing increased international competition, and new ideas and initiatives are needed to improve it.</R>

<R>Service Sector. Puerto Rico has experienced significant growth in the service sector, which, for purposes of the data set forth below, includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, and other services. This sector has expanded in terms of both income and employment over the past decade, following the general trend of other industrialized economies, but with differences on the magnitudes of those changes. During the period between fiscal years 2004 and 2008, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 5.0%, while payroll employment in this sector increased at an average annual rate of 0.8%. In the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 15% of total employment according to the Household Survey. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the service and construction sectors. The development of the service sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing and construction.</R>

<R>The high degree of knowledge, skills, and expertise in professional and technical services available in Puerto Rico places the island in a favorable competitive position with respect to Latin America and other trading countries throughout the world.</R>

<R>The service sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and it is the sector with the greatest employment. In fiscal year 2008, the service sector generated $37.1 billion of gross domestic product, or 40% of the total. Service-sector employment grew from 542,092 in fiscal year 2004 to 559,811 in fiscal year 2008 (representing 54.8% of total, non-farm, payroll employment). This represents a cumulative increase of 3.3% during such period. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the average service-sector employment was 546,108, a decrease of 2.6% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate experienced growth in fiscal years 2004 to 2008, as measured by gross domestic product at current prices. From fiscal year 2004 to 2008, gross domestic product increased in the trade sector from $9.8 billion to $11.8 billion, and in finance, insurance, and real estate from $13.0 billion to $16.4 billion.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico has a developed banking and financial system. As of December 31, 2008, there were thirteen commercial banks operating in Puerto Rico. Commercial banks in Puerto Rico are generally regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico (the OCFI). The OCFI reports that total assets of these institutions (excluding assets of units operating as international banking entities) as of December 31, 2008 were $87.5 billion, as compared to $87.9 billion as of December 31, 2007.</R>

<R>Broker-dealers in Puerto Rico are regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the OCFI and are mainly dedicated to serve investors that are residents of Puerto Rico. According to the OCFI, assets under management of broker-dealers in Puerto Rico totaled $26.5 billion as of December 31, 2008, down from $27.9 billion on December 31, 2007. Another relevant component of the financial sector in Puerto Rico is the mutual-fund industry. Local mutual funds are organized as investment companies and recorded assets under management of $13.9 billion as of December 31, 2008, down slightly from $14.1 billion as of December 31, 2007 according to the OCFI. Most of the assets under management of local mutual funds are reflected in the amount of assets under management of broker-dealers stated above.</R>

<R>Other components of the financial sector in Puerto Rico include international banking entities (IBEs) and credit unions (locally known as cooperativas). IBEs are licensed financial businesses that conduct offshore banking transactions. As of December 31, 2008, there were 33 international banking entities (including units of commercial banks) operating in Puerto Rico licensed to conduct offshore banking transactions, with total assets of $63.8 billion, a decrease from $75.8 billion in total assets as of December 31, 2007. Meanwhile, credit unions, which tend to emphasize basic consumer financial services, reached $6.7 billion in assets as of December 31, 2008, a slight increase from $6.5 billion as of December 31, 2007.</R>

<R>In addition, there are specialized players in the local financial industry that include mortgage-origination companies and auto and personal finance companies.</R>

<R>Government. The government sector of Puerto Rico plays an important role in the economy. It promoted the transformation of Puerto Rico from an agricultural economy to an industrial one during the second half of the previous century, providing the basic infrastructure and services necessary for the modernization of the Island.</R>

<R>In fiscal year 2008, the government accounted for $8.8 billion, or 9.4%, of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product. The Puerto Rico government is also a significant employer, providing jobs for 282,900 workers (state and local), or 27.7% of total, non-farm, payroll employment in fiscal year 2008. From fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2008, Commonwealth and municipal government employment has been reduced by approximately 10,100 positions. Nevertheless, during the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, state and local government employment increased by 1.2% or by 3,300 jobs to 284,400. According to the payroll survey, the distribution of these job increases was 600 jobs in the state government and 2,700 jobs in local government.</R>

<R>On February 25, 1998, legislation was enacted permitting the unionization of employees of the central government, which excludes municipal employees and employees of public corporations. Under this law, government employees are given collective bargaining rights subject to a number of limitations. Among those limitations are: employees are prohibited from striking; salary increases are contingent on the availability of budgeted revenues; employees cannot be required to become union members and pay union dues; and collective bargaining negotiations cannot occur in an election year. Currently, approximately 70,000 employees of the central government are unionized under this law.</R>

<R>As discussed previously, Act 7, enacted on March 9, 2009, establishes, among other things, a temporary freeze of salary increases and other economic benefits included in laws, collective bargaining agreements, and any other agreements. In addition, Act 7 provides that, for a period of two years, collective bargaining agreements that have already expired or that expire while the law is in effect and that relate to public employees may not be renegotiated or renewed. Certain individuals and labor organizations have challenged in court the validity of certain provisions of Act 7.</R>

<R>Hotels and Related Services - Tourism. During fiscal year 2006, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels, including residents of Puerto Rico and tourists, was 1,922,500, an increase of 3.8% over the number of persons registered during the same period in fiscal year 2005. The number of non-resident tourists registered in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2006 increased by 3.5% compared to fiscal year 2005. Tourist hotel rooms available during fiscal year 2006 increased by 3.9% to 10,739 rooms, compared to fiscal year 2005. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal years 2005 and 2006 was 70.8%.</R>

<R>During fiscal year 2007, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels, including residents of Puerto Rico and tourists, was 1,792,300, a decrease of 6.8% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2006. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2007 was 71.7%, compared to 70.8% in fiscal year 2006. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels decreased by 6.5% to 10,044 rooms from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007 as the completion of regular maintenance and rehabilitation of rooms (that normally results in a certain number of rooms being unavailable at any time) took longer to complete than in the past.</R>

<R>For fiscal year 2008, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,745,000, a further decline of 2.6% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2007. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2008 was 70.3%, compared to 71.7% in fiscal year 2007. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased by 2.1% to 10,253 rooms from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>The number of persons registered in tourist hotels during the first six months of fiscal year 2009 was 826,300, a decrease of 0.8% over the number of persons registered during the same period of fiscal year 2008. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during the first semester of fiscal year 2009 was 63.7%, compared to 67.5% in the period for fiscal year 2008. During the first six months of fiscal year 2009, the average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased by 2.7% to 10,220 rooms compared with the same period in fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>In terms of employment figures, this sector has shown a behavior consistent with the local business cycle, accentuated by the contraction of U.S. economic activity. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, employment in hotels and lodging places was reduced by 3.9% to 13,700 jobs.</R>

<R>San Juan is the largest homeport for cruise ships in the Caribbean and one of the largest homeports for cruise ships in the world.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth, through the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority (PRCDA), has completed the development of the largest convention center in the Caribbean, and the centerpiece of a 100-acre, private development, to include hotels, restaurants, office space, and housing. The convention center district is being developed at a total cost of $1.3 billion in a public/private partnership effort to improve Puerto Rico's competitive position in the convention and group-travel segments. The convention center opened on November 17, 2005 and, since its inauguration, the facility has hosted more than 1,000 events accounting for more than 1,000,000 attendees. A 500-room hotel is scheduled to commence operations at the end of 2009.</R>

<R>The PRCDA also owns an 18,500-person capacity multipurpose arena, known as the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The coliseum was inaugurated in 2004 and has hosted more than 2.5 million people enjoying over 400 world-caliber events. The venue has received numerous awards including "Best International Large Venue of the Year" from Pollstar magazine in 2005.</R>

<R>Transportation. Thirty-four shipping lines offer regular ocean freight service to eighty U.S. and foreign ports. San Juan is the island's leading seaport, but there are also seaport facilities at other locations in Puerto Rico including Arecibo, Culebra, Fajardo, Guayama, Guayanilla, Mayagüez, Ponce, Vieques, and Yabucoa.</R>

<R>In general, Puerto Rico's airport facilities are located in Carolina, San Juan, Ponce, Mayaguez, Aguadilla, Fajardo, Arecibo, Ceiba, Vieques, Culebra, and Humacao.</R>

<R>Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in the San Juan metropolitan area is currently served by 24 domestic and international airlines. The airport receives over 10 million passengers per year, making it the busiest airport in the Caribbean. At present, there is daily direct service between San Juan and Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, and numerous other destinations within the U.S. mainland. San Juan has also become a hub for intra-Caribbean service for a major airline. While the main hubs in the U.S. mainland serve as the gateway from San Juan to most international destinations, Latin American destinations are also served through Panama City, Panama, with connections to Central and South America, while European cities are also served through Madrid, Spain.</R>

<R>Regarding other airports, Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla has regularly scheduled service to and from Fort Lauderdale, New York, Newark and Orlando; and Ponce's Mercedita Airport has regularly scheduled service to and from New York and Orlando. Both of these airports also have scheduled service to other Caribbean islands. Smaller regional airports serve intra-island traffic. Cargo operations are served by both Federal Express and United Parcel Service (UPS) at the airports in San Juan and Aguadilla.</R>

<R>The island's major cities are connected by a modern highway system, which, as of December 31, 2008, totaled approximately 4,625 miles and 11,774 miles of local streets and adjacent roads. The highway system comprises 425 miles of primary system highways, which are the more important interregional traffic routes and include PR-52, PR-22, PR-53, PR-5, PR-66, and PR-20 toll highways, 252 miles of primary urban system highways, 959 miles of secondary system highways serving the needs of intra-regional traffic, and 3,051 miles of tertiary highways and roads serving local, intra-regional traffic.</R>

<R>The first phase of a new mass transit system, known as Tren Urbano, has been completed. Tren Urbano serves a portion of metropolitan San Juan and is expected eventually to serve the municipalities of Carolina and Caguas as well. It currently has ridership of about 35,000 per day.</R>

<R>The Port of the Americas is a deep draft port on the south coast of Puerto Rico that is under development by the Port of the Americas Authority. The Port of the Americas is expected to be used for broad operations such as domestic cargo, bulk, and liquid shipments for Puerto Rico, as well as transshipments. The first phase of the development was completed in 2004, and the second phase is substantially complete. A third development phase is currently underway, which is to result in a processing capacity of 500,000 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units per year.</R>

<R>Construction. Although the construction industry represents a relatively small segment of the economy compared to other sectors, it has made significant contributions to the growth of economic activity due to its multiplier effect on the whole economy. During the period from fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2008, however, real construction investment has decreased at an average annual rate of 5.4%. During the same time period, the total value of construction permits, in current dollars, increased at an average annual rate of 0.3%, but, adjusting the value of construction permits by the construction investment price deflator, the total value of permits, in constant dollars, declined at an average annual rate of 2.3%.</R>

<R>Public investment has been an important component of construction investment. During fiscal year 2008, approximately 50.2% of the total investment in construction was related to public projects. The total value of construction permits increased 12.9% in fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007, but total sales of cement decreased by 10.7%, the largest decline during the last decade. Average payroll employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2008 was 60,000, a reduction of 9.9% from fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Total construction investment for fiscal year 2008 decreased in real terms by 8.8%, following a 7.6% real decline in fiscal year 2007, due principally to the drop in construction-related public projects. The Planning Board has estimated a construction investment decrease of 11.5% in real terms during fiscal year 2009. Public investment in construction has been negatively affected by the Commonwealth's fiscal difficulties and the decline in construction investment is highly related to these difficulties. While the Planning Board had originally projected a further construction investment decrease of 10.5% in real terms for fiscal year 2010, it announced on April 29, 2009 that the expected positive impact of the Federal Stimulus and the Local Stimulus had led it to reduce its projected decrease in construction investment to 5.6% in real terms. Public investment will be primarily in housing, new schools (and school reconstruction programs), water projects, and other public infrastructure projects.</R>

<R>During the first four months of fiscal year 2009, the number of construction permits decreased 4.8%, while the total value of construction permits dropped 12.9% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2008. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, cement sales have declined by 23.0%, reaching levels not seen in more than a decade.</R>

<R>Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and the quality of produce, and stimulating the consumption of locally produced agricultural products. It should be noted, however, that agriculture production represents less than 1% of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2008, gross income from agriculture was $792 million, an increase of 1.2% compared with fiscal year 2007. The largest contributors to gross income in agriculture during fiscal year 2008 were livestock products (48% of the sector's gross income) and starchy vegetables (13%).</R>

<R>The Commonwealth supports agricultural activities through incentives, subsidies, and technical and support services, in addition to income tax exemptions for qualified income derived by bona fide farmers. Act No. 225 of 1995 (Act 225) provides a 90% income tax exemption for income derived from agricultural operations, grants for investments in qualified agricultural projects, and a 100% exemption from excise taxes, real and personal property taxes, municipal license taxes and tariff payments. It also provides full income tax exemption for interest income from bonds, notes and other debt instruments issued by financial institutions to provide financing to agricultural businesses.</R>

<R>Policy changes have been implemented to promote employment and income generated by the agricultural sector. The policy initiatives include a restructuring of the Department of Agriculture, an increase in government purchases of local agricultural products, new programs geared towards increasing the production and sales of agricultural products, and a new system of agricultural credits and subsidies for new projects.</R>

<R>Tax Incentives</R>

<R>One factor that has promoted and continues to promote the development of the manufacturing and service sector in Puerto Rico is the various local and federal tax incentives available, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program and, until recently, Sections 30A and 936 of the U.S. Code. Tax and other incentives have also been established to promote the development of the tourism industry. These incentives are summarized below.</R>

<R>Industrial Incentives Program. Since 1948, Puerto Rico has had various incentives laws designed to promote investment and job creation. Under these laws, companies engaged in manufacturing and certain other designated activities were eligible to receive full or partial exemption from income, property, and other local taxes. The most recent of these incentives laws is the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>The benefits provided by the Economic Incentives Act are available to new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing tax exemption grant, expand current operations or commence operating a new eligible business. The activities eligible for tax exemption under the Economic Incentives Act include manufacturing, certain designated services performed for markets outside Puerto Rico (including the U.S.), the production of energy from local renewable sources for consumption in Puerto Rico and laboratories for research and development. The Economic Incentives Act expands the definition of manufacturing activity from that included in Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997, as amended (the 1998 Tax Incentives Act), to include clusters and supply chains. Companies qualifying thereunder can benefit from a simplified income tax system: in most cases, an income tax rate of 4% and a withholding tax rate of 12% on royalty payments. Alternatively, the income tax rate can be 8% and a withholding rate of 2% on royalty payments. Special rates apply to projects located in low and mid-development zones (an income tax reduction of 0.5%), certain local projects (an income tax rate as low as 3%), certain small- and medium-sized businesses (an income tax rate as low as 1%) and pioneering activities (an income tax rate of 1%, but for those using intangible property created or developed in Puerto Rico the income tax rate may be 0%). In addition, as with the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, the Economic Incentives Act grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption from municipal license taxes during the first three semesters of operations and at least 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from excise taxes with respect to the acquisition of raw materials and certain machinery and equipment used in the exempt activities.</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act is designed to stimulate employment and productivity, research and development, capital investment, reduction in the cost of energy and increased purchase of local products.</R>

<R>Under the Economic Incentives Act, as with the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, companies can repatriate or distribute their profits free of Puerto Rico dividend taxes. However, Puerto Rico resident individuals, as well as non-resident individuals who are U.S. citizens, must include as income for purposes of computing their potential alternative minimum tax liability dividends derived from companies covered by the Economic Incentives Act and the 1998 Tax Incentives Act. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico financial institutions, obligations of the Commonwealth, and other designated investments is fully exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Gain from the sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders during the exemption period that is otherwise subject to Puerto Rico income tax would be subject to a special Puerto Rico income tax rate of 4%.</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act, like the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, also provides investors that acquire an exempted business that is in the process of closing its operations in Puerto Rico a 50% credit in connection with the cash purchase of such corporation's stocks or assets.</R>

<R>Tourism Incentives Program. For many years, Puerto Rico has enacted incentives laws designed to stimulate investment in hotel operations on the island. The Tourism Incentives Act of 1993 (the Tourism Incentives Act) provides partial exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to ten years. The Tourism Incentives Act also provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in tourism activities, including hotel and condo-hotel development projects. Other legislation enacted in 2001 and 2002 provides further tourism incentives by granting certain tax exemptions on interest income received from permanent or interim financing of tourism development projects and fees derived from credit enhancements provided to the financing of such projects.</R>

<R>As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, in 1993 the Commonwealth established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of GDB with the authority to (i) make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry and (ii) provide financial guarantees and direct loans for financing hotel development projects. To date, the Tourism Development Fund has provided direct loans and financial guarantees for loans made or bonds issued to finance the development of eighteen hotel projects representing over 4,700 new hotel rooms.</R>

<R>Incentives under the U.S. Code. U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico have been subject to special tax provisions since the Revenue Act of 1921. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1976, under Section 931 of the U.S. Code, U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico (and meeting certain source of income tests) were taxed only on income arising from sources within the U.S.</R>

<R>The Tax Reform Act of 1976 created Section 936 of the U.S. Code, which revised the tax treatment of U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico by taxing such corporations on their worldwide income in a manner similar to that applicable to any other U.S. corporation but providing such corporations a full credit for the federal tax on their business and qualified investment income from Puerto Rico. The credit provided an effective 100% federal tax exemption for operating and qualifying investment income from Puerto Rico sources.</R>

<R>As a result of amendments to Section 936 of the U.S. Code made in 1996, its income tax credit based on operating and certain investment income was phased out over a ten-year period for companies that were operating in Puerto Rico in 1995, and is no longer available.</R>

<R>Controlled Foreign Corporations. Because of the modification and phase-out of the federal tax incentives under Section 936 of the U.S. Code, many corporations previously operating thereunder reorganized their operations in Puerto Rico to become controlled foreign corporations (CFCs). A CFC is a corporation that is organized outside the U.S. (including, for these purposes, in Puerto Rico) and is controlled by U.S. shareholders. In general, a CFC may defer the payment of federal income taxes on its trade or business income until such income is repatriated to the U.S. in the form of dividends or through investments in certain U.S. properties. The Puerto Rico Office of Industrial Tax Exemption has received notification from numerous corporations that have converted part or all of their operations to CFCs. These include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument and electronics manufacturing companies in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those applicable to U.S. corporations operating under Section 936 of the U.S. Code (Section 936 Corporations). In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a larger share of this income to their Puerto Rico operation but must make a royalty payment "commensurate with income" to their U.S. affiliates. Section 936 Corporations were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost-sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 15% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments.</R>

<R>For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2005 and before January 1, 2010, the special deduction granted under Section 199 of the U.S. Code against income derived from domestic production activities is extended to taxpayers operating in Puerto Rico that are subject to U.S. federal income taxation at gradual rates, such as branches of U.S. companies operating in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>In May 2009, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced proposed changes to the U.S. Code that include, among others, changes to remove incentives for shifting jobs overseas. Several of these initiatives could affect CFCs operating in Puerto Rico. It is not possible at this time to determine the legislative changes that may be made to the U.S. Code, or their effect on the long-term outlook on the economy of Puerto Rico. The administration has commenced evaluating the impact of these proposals and will develop policy responses to the U.S. government to seek to safeguard Puerto Rico's economic reconstruction and development plans.</R>

Public Sector Debt

Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations ("notes" as used in this section refers to certain types of non-bonded debt regardless of maturity), subject to the exclusions described below.

<R>Section 2 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that direct obligations of the Commonwealth evidenced by full faith and credit bonds or notes shall not be issued if the amount of the principal of and interest on such bonds and notes and on all such bonds and notes theretofore issued that is payable in any fiscal year, together with any amount paid by the Commonwealth in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance on account of bonds or notes guaranteed by the Commonwealth, exceed 15% of the average annual revenues raised under the provisions of Commonwealth legislation and deposited into the Treasury (hereinafter "internal revenues") in the two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance. Section 2 of Article VI does not limit the amount of debt that the Commonwealth may guarantee so long as the 15% limitation is not exceeded through payments by the Commonwealth on such guaranteed debt. Internal revenues consist principally of income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes and excise taxes. Certain revenues, such as federal excise taxes on offshore shipments of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products and customs duties, which are collected by the U.S. Government and returned to the Treasury and motor vehicle fuel taxes and license fees, which are allocated to the Highway and Transportation Authority, are not included as internal revenues for the purpose of calculating the debt limit, although they may be available for the payment of debt service. In addition, the portion of the Commonwealth's Sales Tax allocated to COFINA is also not included as internal revenues consistent with the legislation creating the Sales Tax Financing Corporation, which legislation transfers ownership of such portion of the sales and use tax to COFINA and provides that such portion is not "available resources" under the Constitutional provisions relating to the Bonds.</R>

<R>All or a portion of the proceeds of certain refunding bonds issued by the Commonwealth were invested in guaranteed investment contracts or federal agency securities (in each case rated in the highest category by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), none of which is eligible to be used for a legal defeasance under Puerto Rico law ("non-eligible investments"). Since bonds refunded with proceeds of non-eligible investments are not legally defeased, such bonds are treated as outstanding for purposes of the 15% debt limitation.</R>

<R>Future maximum annual debt service for the Commonwealth's outstanding general obligation debt is $948,102,368 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 (based on the assumption that the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2004 A, which are variable rate bonds, bear interest at their actual rate per annum through July 1, 2012 and thereafter at 12% per annum, and the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2004 B, the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2008 B, a portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2003 C, a portion of the Public Improvement Bonds of 2006, Series A, and a portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2007A, each of which are also variable rate bonds, bear interest at 12% per annum). This amount ($948,102,368) is equal to 11.59% of $8,178,090,500, which is the average of the adjusted internal revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008. If bonds refunded with non-eligible investments described in the preceding paragraph were treated as not being outstanding, and the interest on the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2004 B, the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2008 B, the portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2003 C, the portion of the Public Improvement Bonds of 2006, Series A, and the portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2007A, was calculated using the effective fixed interest rate payable by the Commonwealth under the interest rate exchange agreements entered into in respect thereof, the percentage referred to in the preceding sentence would be 9.60% and future maximum annual debt service for the Commonwealth's outstanding general obligation debt would be $785,297,901 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. Annual debt service payments on bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth are not included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. In the event any of the public corporations issuers of guaranteed bonds are unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed bonds, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments under its guarantee from the primary operating fund of the Commonwealth (the General Fund) and such debt service would be included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation.</R>

The Commonwealth's policy has been and continues to be to maintain the amount of such debt prudently below the constitutional limitation. Debt of municipalities, other than bond anticipation notes, is supported by real and personal property taxes and municipal license taxes. Debt of public corporations, other than bond anticipation notes, is generally supported by the revenues of such corporations from rates charged for services or products. However, certain debt of public corporations is supported, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes.

<R>Direct debt of the Commonwealth is issued pursuant to specific legislation approved in each particular case. Debt of the municipalities is issued pursuant to ordinances adopted by the respective municipal legislatures. Debt of public corporations is issued in accordance with their enabling statutes. GDB, as fiscal agent of the Commonwealth and its municipalities and public corporations, must approve the specific terms of each issuance.</R>

<R>Ratings of Commonwealth General Obligation Bonds. On September 3, 2008, Moody's confirmed its "Baa3" rating on the Commonwealth's general obligation debt, and its stable ratings outlook thereon.</R>

<R>On September 3, 2008, S&P confirmed its "BBB-" rating of the Commonwealth's general obligation and appropriation debt, and its stable outlook thereon.</R>

<R>Commonwealth Guaranteed Debt. As of December 31, 2008, $3.05 billion of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of the Public Buildings Authority were outstanding. Maximum annual debt service on these bonds is $236.2 million in fiscal year 2011, with their final maturity being July 1, 2037. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required to date for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, $267 million of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of GDB were outstanding. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, GDB held approximately $154.8 million of the Port of the Americas Authority's outstanding bonds, which are guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Port of the Americas Authority is authorized to issue and GDB is authorized to purchase its bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to continue the development of the Port of the Americas. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of obligations of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) guaranteed by the Commonwealth was $902.0 million. This amount consisted of $284.7 million in revenue bonds sold to the public, $312.4 million in bonds issued to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, and $304.9 million of loans by the State Revolving (Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Act) Funds for the benefit of PRASA. From January 1997 through fiscal year 2005, the Commonwealth made debt service payments under its guaranty. Beginning with the debt service payment due January 1, 2006, the Commonwealth stopped making guarantee payments on these obligations and PRASA resumed making payment on this debt. In the event PRASA is unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed obligations, the Commonwealth would be required once more to make such payments from the General Fund under its guarantee.</R>

<R>Retirement Systems</R>

<R>Public employees of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: the Employees Retirement System, the Puerto Rico System of Annuities and Pensions for Teachers (the Teachers Retirement System), the Commonwealth Judiciary Retirement System (the Judiciary Retirement System), the Retirement System of the University of Puerto Rico (the University Retirement System), and the Employees Retirement System of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (the Electric Power Authority Retirement System).</R>

The University Retirement System and the Electric Power Authority Retirement System apply to employees of the University of Puerto Rico and Electric Power Authority, respectively. The Commonwealth is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.

<R>The Teachers Retirement System covers public school teachers and certain private school teachers, as well as teachers working in administrative positions. Substantially all active teachers of the Commonwealth's Department of Education are covered by Act No. 91 of March 29, 2004, which superseded Act No. 218 of May 6, 1951. The new law establishes that: (i) the Teachers Retirement System's active employees as of March 29, 2004 (not public school teachers or other Education Department employees) have the option to participate in the Teachers Retirement System or in the Employees Retirement System; (ii) persons hired by Teachers Retirement System after the approval of the new law may only become members of the Teachers Retirement System; (iii) active teacher employees of the Department of Education are members of the Teachers Retirement System, and (iv) licensed teachers working in private schools or other educational organizations may elect to become members of the Teachers Retirement System as long as the required employer and employee contributions are satisfied. The Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the Commonwealth, its municipalities and instrumentalities.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2008, the total number of participants, including active participants and retirees, in the three systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 278,732; Teachers Retirement System, 77,840; and Judiciary Retirement System, 695. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees, and investment income.</R>

<R>The central government is responsible for approximately 64% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 36% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The central government is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employers and employees are determined by law rather than by actuarial requirements. For the Employees Retirement System, required employer contributions are 9.275% of applicable payroll. Required employee contributions for the Employees Retirement System vary according to salary and how the individual employee's retirement benefits are coordinated with social security benefits. For the Judiciary Retirement System, required contributions are 30.34% of applicable payroll for the employer and 8% for the employees. For the Teachers Retirement System, required contributions are 8.5% of applicable payroll for the employer and 9.0% for the employees.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2005, the total pension benefit obligations for the Employees Retirement System were $12.284 billion. The unfunded pension benefit obligations of the Employees Retirement System as of the same date were $9.956 billion, representing a funding ratio of 19%. Any amounts receivable from the Commonwealth with respect to benefits under special benefits laws (discussed below) are considered in the actuarial evaluation process to determine the unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System to the extent receivables are recognized as such by the Employees Retirement System. The June 30, 2005 actuarial valuation was completed in accordance with the "Projected Unit Credit" method and assumed an investment return of 8.5% per year and a salary increase of 5% per year. Insofar as the statutorily mandated annual deposit to the Employees Retirement System is insufficient to cover the actuarial pension benefit obligation, the unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System will continue to increase in the short term, and additional funding from the Commonwealth may ultimately be necessary to cover such unfunded obligation.</R>

<R>Based on the preliminary figures for the actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System as of June 30, 2007, the actuarial accrued liability was $16.770 billion and the actuarial value of assets was $2.892 billion, representing a funding ratio of 17.2%, and the resulting unfunded actuarial accrued liability was $13.878 billion.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Judiciary Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2005, the total pension benefit obligations for the Judiciary Retirement System were $174 million. The unfunded pension benefit obligations of the Judiciary Retirement System as of the same date were $104 million, representing a funding ratio of 40%. The June 30, 2005 actuarial valuation was completed in accordance with the "Projected Unit Credit" method and assumed an investment return of 8.5% per year and a salary increase of 5% per year. Insofar as the statutorily mandated annual deposit to the Judiciary Retirement System is insufficient to cover the actuarial pension benefit obligation, the unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Judiciary Retirement System will continue to increase in the short term, and additional funding from the Commonwealth may ultimately be necessary to cover such unfunded obligation.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability of the Teachers Retirement System was $7.756 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 41%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.593 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8%, yearly salary increases of 3.5%, employee and employer contributions of 9% and 8.5%, respectively, an inflation rate of 2.5%, and a remaining amortization period of 30 years for the unfunded accrued liability. Under the same assumptions, but without taking into account benefits paid under special benefits laws (described below) and excluding the obligations with respect to the prospective payments under the special benefits laws, the funding of which will originate from the General Fund, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability was $7.227 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 44%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.064 billion. Insofar as the statutorily mandated annual deposit to the Teachers Retirement System is insufficient to cover the actuarial pension liability, and since the Teachers Retirement System is a relatively mature retirement system with a significant retiree population, the unfunded pension benefit obligation, according to the 2007 actuarial valuation, will continue to increase, and additional funding from the Commonwealth may ultimately be necessary to cover such unfunded liability.</R>

<R>Various special benefits laws enacted in previous years provided additional benefits for the beneficiaries of the Employees Retirement System, Teachers Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System. Specifically, in the case of the Employees Retirement System, Act No. 10 of May 21, 1992 provided for special benefit increases of 3% every three years. The first 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date. The second 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1995. This increase is being financed by additional contributions from the employers. The third 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1998. This third increase is being partially funded with additional contributions from some of the employers. In June 2001, the Legislative Assembly approved a fourth 3% increase, effective as of January 1, 2001, in post-retirement annuity payments granted on or prior to January 1, 1998. This increase will be funded by the General Fund for retirees who were employees of the central government and by municipalities and public corporations for retirees who were their respective employees. In June 2003, the Legislative Assembly approved a fifth increase of 3% in post retirement benefits effective January 1, 2004. This increase will also be funded by the General Fund for retirees who were employees of the central government and by municipalities and public corporations for retirees who were their respective employees. In June 2007, the Legislative Assembly approved a sixth increase of 3% in post retirement benefits effective January 1, 2007. This increase will also be funded by the General Fund for retirees who were employees of the central government and by municipalities and public corporations for retirees who were their respective employees. Subsequent increases will depend upon the express approval of the Board of Trustees of the Employees Retirement System and the Legislative Assembly, and must provide a funding source. In the case of the Judiciary Retirement System, Act No. 41 of June 13, 2001 provided a 3% special benefit increase in annuity payments, commencing on January 1, 2002 and every three years thereafter, to retirees who have been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date. This increase will be funded by the General Fund.</R>

<R>The Teachers Retirement System is seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth's General Fund in the amount of $119 million for special benefits paid by the Teachers Retirement System to its beneficiaries through June 30, 2004 pursuant to special benefit laws enacted by the Legislative Assembly. The Teachers Retirement System's interpretation of these special benefit laws, to the effect that the Commonwealth is required to reimburse the Teachers Retirement System for such special benefits paid, is being disputed by the Office of Management and Budget. In March 2009 the Department of Education paid to the Teachers Retirement System the amount of $12 million as partial payment. The dispute for the pending amount of $107 million continues under inter-agency arbitration proceedings. The Employees Retirement System is also seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth (in connection with other special benefits laws applicable to its beneficiaries) in the amount of $73.9 million, representing cumulative benefits paid to beneficiaries through June 30, 2005.</R>

<R>In February 1990, the enabling act of the Employees Retirement System was amended to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of contributions to the Employees Retirement System and limited the retirement benefits for new employees by increasing the length of employment required for the vesting of certain benefits and reducing the level of benefits in the case of early retirement. The legislation also reduced the level of occupational disability benefits and death benefits received by new employees.</R>

<R>In 1999, the organic act of the Employees Retirement System was further amended to change it, prospectively, from a defined benefit system to a defined contribution system. This amendment provides for the establishment of an individual account for each employee hired by the Commonwealth after December 31, 1999 and for those current employees who elect to transfer from the existing defined benefit system. The individual account of each current employee that transferred to the defined contribution system was credited initially with an amount equal to his aggregate contributions to the Employees Retirement System, plus interest. Current employees who did not elect to transfer to the new defined contribution system will continue accruing benefits under the current defined benefit system. The individual account of each participant of the new defined contribution system is credited monthly with the participant's contribution and is credited semiannually with a rate of return based on either of two notional investment returns. Such accounts are not credited with any contribution by the employer. Instead, employer contributions will now be used completely to reduce the accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System.</R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2004 through 2007 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2004 was covered with a loan received from the Department of the Treasury. Balances owed to the Department of the Treasury and other pending working capital needs through fiscal year 2005 were refinanced through a repurchase agreement with a financial institution in an amount of $138 million collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2006 was approximately $70 million. This shortfall was covered with a line of credit provided by a private financial institution and collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. There was no cash shortfall for fiscal year 2007 on account of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico Telephone Company stock that the Puerto Rico Telephone Authority held for the benefit of the Trust. Also with these proceeds the Employees Retirement System paid off the balances of the 2005 repurchase agreement and the 2006 line of credit used to cover the respective year's cash shortfalls. For fiscal year 2008, the Employees Retirement System experienced a positive cash flow due to various non-recurring sources of income and a series of financings to increase the Employees Retirement System's funding ratio and reduce its unfunded pension benefit obligation. The financings involved the issuance by the Employees Retirement System of debt secured by a pledge of future employer contributions over the next 50 years. All net cash generated by these financings was deposited into the Employees Retirement System trust and invested along with its other assets. As of June 30, 2008, the Employees Retirement System had issued three series totaling approximately $2.9 billion of its Senior Pension Funding Bonds.</R>

<R>During fiscal year 2009, the Employees Retirement System expects to have a cash shortfall of approximately $150 million to $250 million. Based on the Puerto Rico Employees Retirement System's estimates, it could have a $362 million cash flow deficit for fiscal year 2010. This negative trend is expected to continue partly due to possible future increases in the cost of living adjustments, changes in demographics of retirees and beneficiaries, and possible higher pension payments due to higher salaries of future retirees.</R>

<R>With respect to the Teachers Retirement System, the cash shortfalls for fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008 were $65 million, $40 million, and $75 million respectively. Investments were liquidated to cover these shortfalls. For fiscal year 2009, the Teachers Retirement System expects to have a cash shortfall of approximately $67 million. Based on the Teachers Retirement System's estimates, it could have an $81 million cash flow deficit for fiscal year 2010. This negative trend is expected to continue given that Puerto Rico Teachers Retirement System is in a relatively mature stage.</R>

<R>Based on the current statutory funding requirements, the annual benefit payments and administrative expenses paid by the Teachers Retirement System are significantly larger than the member and employer contributions made to the Teachers Retirement System. Thus, according to the 2007 actuarial valuation, investment income must be used to cover this negative cash flow.</R>

<R>As stated above, the Employees Retirement System anticipates that its future cash flow needs for disbursement of benefits to participants are likely to exceed the sum of the employer and employee contributions received and its investment and other recurring income. The Employees Retirement System is evaluating measures to improve its cash flows and funding ratio. Some of these measures include, but are not limited to, the establishment of a maximum salary to calculate pension benefits and additional collection efforts with respect to employer contributions owed by the Commonwealth, the municipalities, and public corporations.</R>

<R>The market value of the investment portfolios (which excludes loans to plan members) held by the retirement plans has been materially adversely affected by the global decline in value of equity securities. This decline has had an adverse effect on the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retirement systems.</R>

<R>As of March 31, 2009, the market value of the Employees Retirement System's investment portfolio was $1.9 billion, compared to $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2008. As of that date, the investment portfolio was comprised of approximately 66.8% of U.S. domestic and international equity investments and 31.0% of fixed-income securities.</R>

<R>As of March 31, 2009, the market value of the Teachers Retirement System's investment portfolio was $1.6 billion, compared to $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2008. As of that date, the investment portfolio was comprised of approximately 68.4% of U.S. domestic and international equity investments and 31.6% of fixed income securities.</R>

<R>The following tables present the Statement of Plan Net Assets and Statement of Changes in Plan Net Assets of the Employees Retirement System, the Judiciary Retirement System and Teachers Retirement System, in each case for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008 and for the first six months of fiscal year 2009.</R>

<R>Major Sources of General Fund Revenues</R>

<R>Income Taxes. The Commonwealth's income tax law, the Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (the PR Code), imposes a tax on the income of individual residents of Puerto Rico, trusts, estates, and domestic and foreign (if engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico) corporations and partnerships at graduated rates. A flat tax is imposed on certain payments made to non-residents of Puerto Rico, which is collected through an income tax withholding.</R>

<R>Resident individuals are subject to tax on their taxable income from all sources. The PR Code has four tax brackets for individuals with tax rates of 7%, 14%, 25%, and 33%. Dividend income from Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations is taxed at an income tax rate of 10%.Gain realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset by resident individuals, if held for more than six months, is taxed at an income tax rate of 10%.</R>

<R>Interest income in excess of $2,000 on deposit with Puerto Rico financial institutions is taxed at an income tax rate of 10%; the first $2,000 of interest income from such institutions is exempt from taxation. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and partnerships qualifies for an income tax rate of 10%.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico corporations and partnerships are subject to tax on income from all sources; foreign corporations and partnerships that are engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico are subject to tax on their income from Puerto Rico sources and on income from sources outside Puerto Rico that is effectively connected with the conduct of their trade or business in Puerto Rico. Unless a corporation or partnership qualifies for partial exemption from corporate income and other taxes under the industrial incentives program, it is subject to tax at graduated rates.</R>

<R>In general, the PR Code provides for six income tax brackets for corporations and partnerships, with the highest rate (39%) applicable to net taxable income in excess of $300,000. Gains realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset, if held for more than six months, are taxed at a maximum regular income tax rate of 15%. Dividends received by Puerto Rico corporations and partnerships from foreign corporations and partnerships engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico are subject to general income tax rates. A dividends received credit may be available when the corporation or partnership making the distribution is organized in Puerto Rico. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to corporations and partnerships qualifies for a special tax rate of 10%.</R>

<R>In general, corporations and partnerships operating under a new grant of tax exemption issued under the Economic Incentives Act are subject to a maximum income tax rate of 4% during their basic exemption period. Corporations and partnerships covered by the Tourism Incentives Act are subject to a maximum tax rate of 42% on their taxable income after applying the 90% exemption granted under the Tourism Incentives Act, which results in a maximum effective tax rate of 4.2% on their net tourism development income. The PR Code also provides for an alternative minimum tax of 22%.</R>

<R>The PR Code generally imposes a branch profits tax on resident foreign corporations whose gross income qualifies as income effectively connected with a Puerto Rico trade or business. The branch profits tax is 10% of an annual dividend equivalent amount, and it applies without regard to the Puerto Rico source of income rules. Interest from Puerto Rico sources paid to non-resident non-affiliated corporate recipients is not subject to any income or withholding tax. Interest paid to certain related non-resident recipients is subject to a withholding tax of 29%. Dividends paid to non-resident corporate recipients are subject to a withholding tax of 10%. Dividends distributed by corporations operating under new grants of tax exemption issued under the Economic Incentives Act are not subject to Puerto Rico income tax. However, royalty payments made by such corporations to non-resident recipients are subject to an income tax withholding of 2% or 12%, depending on certain elections made by the grantee.</R>

<R>Subject to certain exceptions, payments in excess of $1,500 during a calendar year made by the Commonwealth and persons engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico in consideration of the receipt of services rendered in Puerto Rico are subject to a 7% income tax withholding.</R>

<R>Act 7, which was enacted on March 9, 2009 as part of the new administration's Fiscal Plan, seeks, among other things, to increase the tax revenues of the Puerto Rico government by imposing certain permanent and temporary tax increases.</R>

<R>With respect to income taxes, Act 7 includes the following temporary measures that are applicable for taxable years commenced after December 31, 2008 and before January 1, 2012:</R>

<R>(i) taxable corporations and individuals whose adjusted gross income equal or exceeds $100,000 (for single individuals) or $150,000 (in the case of married persons filing jointly) would be subject to a surtax of 5% on their total tax liability;</R>

<R>(ii) IBEs that do not operate as bank units will be subject to a 5% income tax on their entire net income computed in accordance with the PR Code (IBEs operating as bank units will be subject to this 5% tax on their net income that does not constitute excess net income);</R>

<R>(iii) credit unions, their subsidiaries, and affiliates will be subject to a 5% tax on the amount of net taxable income in excess of $250,000 (these entities were totally exempt before the enactment of Act 7);</R>

<R>(iv) the Cooperative Bank, its subsidiaries, and affiliates will be subject to a 5% tax on the amount of net taxable income in excess of $250,000 (these entities were totally exempt before the enactment of Act 7);</R>

<R>(v) insurance cooperatives will be subject to a 5% tax on the amount of net taxable income in excess of $250,000 (these entities were totally exempt before the enactment of Act 7);</R>

<R>(vi) international insurers and holding companies of international insurers will be subject to a 5% tax on their net income (these entities were totally exempt before the enactment of Act 7)</R>

<R>Act 7 also provides as a permanent measure a change in the method of computing the net income subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT) in the case of individuals by including in the computation various categories of exempt income and income subject to preferential tax rates under the PR Code, such as: (a) dividends distributed by companies covered under the Economic Incentives Act, the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, and the Tourism Incentives Act; (b) long-term capital gains, which enjoy a preferential tax rate of 10% under the PR Code; (c) dividends that are taxable at the rate of 10% under the PR Code; (d) interest on bank deposits and individual retirement accounts subject to the special 10% and 17% preferential income tax rates, respectively; and (e) interest from notes or bonds eligible for the special 10% tax rate provided by the PR Code.</R>

<R>Another change introduced by Act 7 is an adjustment to the calculation of the net income subject to the AMT in the case of entities taxed as corporations that denies a deduction for expenses paid or accrued for services rendered outside of Puerto Rico. Lastly, different income tax credits awarded to investors under certain special laws for activities such as revitalization of urban centers, venture capital, solid waste, housing infrastructure, and rehabilitation of social-interest housing, among others, may not be claimed or granted for taxable years commenced after December 31, 2008 and before January 1, 2012. However, tax credits associated to manufacturing, tourism, and cinematographic projects are not affected by Act 7.</R>

<R>Sales and Use Taxes. Act No. 117 of July 4, 2006 (Act 117) amended the PR Code to provide, among other things, for a general sales and use tax of 5.5% to be imposed by the central government (the Commonwealth Sales Tax). Act 117 also authorized each municipal government to impose a municipal sales and use tax of 1.5% (the Municipal Sales Tax and, together with the Commonwealth Sales Tax, the Sales Tax). In general, the Municipal Sales Tax has the same tax base, exemptions (except for unprocessed foods) and limitations as those provided for the Commonwealth Sales Tax. Act 117 also provides certain income tax reductions to address the regressive effect of the Sales Tax on taxpayers in lower income tax brackets.</R>

<R>The Sales Tax is imposed on the sale, use, consumption and storage of taxable items, which include tangible personal property, taxable services, admission rights and certain other types of transactions covering separable and identifiable taxable items which are sold for a single price, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The Sales Tax does not apply to, among other things: (i) motor vehicles; (ii) non-prepared food; (iii) healthcare services and prescription medicines; (iv) certain bakery goods; (v) crude oil and its derivatives, including gasoline; (vi) hotel room charges; (vii) financial services; (viii) services provided by the Commonwealth, including electricity and water; and (ix) local sales of goods to be used as content in a manufactured good, whether or not bound for export.</R>

<R>Act 117 also repealed the 5% general excise tax imposed on imported goods and the 3.6% general excise tax imposed on goods manufactured in Puerto Rico. Other items, such as fuel, crude oil and petroleum products, and vehicles, however, remain subject to the excise tax previously applicable to such items, and are not subject to the Sales Tax.</R>

<R>The Sales Tax became effective on November 15, 2006 and the effective date of the repeal of the 5% general excise tax was October 16, 2006. Municipalities were authorized to implement the Municipal Sales Tax starting on July 1, 2006. As stated earlier, the revenues derived from the Sales Tax are distributed as follows: 5.5% goes to the central government and 1.5% to Puerto Rico's municipalities. A portion of the 5.5% Commonwealth Sales Tax is transferred to the Dedicated Sales Tax Fund, created by Act 91, as amended (effective July 1, 2009, one-half of the Commonwealth Sales Tax, which is the equivalent of a 2.75% tax, will go to the Dedicated Sales Tax Fund), with the balance of the Commonwealth Sales Tax going to the General Fund. The 1.5% Municipal Sales Tax is divided as follows: (i) a 1% tax goes to the municipalities, and (ii) a 0.5% tax goes to the Municipal Improvements Fund. The increase in revenues generated by the Sales Tax has been partly offset by the elimination of the 5% general excise tax and the effect of the income tax reduction measures included in Act 117.</R>

<R>For fiscal year 2008, each percentage point of the Sales Tax generated annually approximately $202 million of gross revenues. The Sales Tax generated total annual gross revenues for the General Fund of approximately $853 million for fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Act 7 amended various provisions of the Sales Tax to streamline collection efforts and reduce tax evasion. Most significantly, a so-called reseller's exemption to the Sales Tax was eliminated, and a credit for Sales Taxes paid was substituted therefor. This measure is expected to increase Sales Tax collections at higher levels of the trade chain, and provide an incentive for compliance with the Sales Tax at the lower levels (via the credit). However, under proposed legislation being considered by the Legislature, the reseller's exemption will be reestablished for businesses with gross sales of $500,000 or more and other businesses will also be able to request the exemption from Treasury, subject to compliance with certain requirements to be prescribed in Treasury's regulations.</R>

<R>Excise Taxes. The PR Code imposes an excise tax on certain articles and commodities, such as cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, cement, motor vehicles and certain petroleum products, which are taxed at different rates.</R>

<R>Under Act 7, the excise tax was increased on certain articles (cigarettes and certain alcoholic beverages) and was expanded with respect to others (motor vehicles). With respect to cigarettes, the increase was approximately 81% per taxable unit. For certain alcoholic beverages, the increase ranges between $0.30 and $0.70 per standard gallon. In the case of motor vehicles, motorcycles and "scooters," which used to be subject to the Sales Tax, will now be taxable as motor vehicles.</R>

<R>Other Taxes and Revenues. Motor vehicle license plate and registration fees comprise the major portion of license tax receipts.</R>

<R>Non-tax revenues consist principally of lottery proceeds, documentary stamps, permits, fees and forfeits, proceeds of land sales and receipts from public corporations in lieu of taxes.</R>

<R>Revenues from non-Commonwealth sources include customs duties collected in Puerto Rico and excise taxes on shipments of rum from the island to the U.S. mainland. The customs duties and excise taxes on shipments are imposed and collected by the U.S. and returned to the Commonwealth. The excise tax on shipments of rum from Puerto Rico and other rum producing countries is $13.50 per gallon. Of this amount, the lesser of $13.25 per proof gallon and the actual excise tax imposed is currently returned to the Commonwealth.</R>

<R>Property Taxes. Personal property, which accounts for approximately 46% of total collections of taxable property, is self-assessed. Real property taxes are assessed based on 1958 property values. No real property reassessment has been made since 1958, and construction taking place after that year has been assessed on the basis of what the value of the property would have been in 1958. Accordingly, the overall assessed valuation of real property for taxation purposes is substantially lower than the actual market value. Also, an exemption on the first $15,000 of assessed valuation in owner-occupied residences is available.</R>

<R>Property taxes are assessed, determined and collected for the benefit of the municipalities by the Municipal Revenues Collection Center (CRIM), a government instrumentality of the Commonwealth. However, 1.03% of the property tax based on the assessed value of all property (other than exempted property) is used for purposes of paying the Commonwealth's general obligation debt and is deposited in the Commonwealth's Redemption Fund.</R>

<R>One of the amendments incorporated in Act 7 was that, for fiscal years 2010 through 2013, the appraisal values of real property in Puerto Rico were increased tenfold and the real personal property tax rates applicable to such values were reduced tenfold so as to offset any increased tax that would have otherwise been applicable due to the increase in appraisal values. This temporary amendment, which is expected to be revenue neutral, was intended to increase the borrowing capacity of Puerto Rico's municipalities.</R>

<R>Act 7 did impose, however, an additional real property tax on residential real properties with appraised values in excess of approximately $210,000 during fiscal years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The additional real property tax, to be collected by the Treasury, will be equal to 100% of the existing real property tax collected by CRIM over such properties.</R>

<R>Measures to Increase Collections of Income, Sales, and Excise Taxes</R>

<R>Treasury has elaborated a strategic plan designed to improve tax collections. The plan includes initiatives to foster tax compliance, implement effective enforcement measures, and attack tax evasion. To promote taxpayers' compliance, Treasury has liberalized the procedures to enter into payment plans, offers-in-compromise agreements, and encourage voluntary disclosures agreements.</R>

<R>In addition, Treasury has developed initiatives focused on effective enforcement methods, such as improving the efficiency of its audit selection process, the creation of technological solutions to improve collections, and the establishment of cooperation agreements with federal and local governmental agencies. Treasury is also integrating its databases and establishing a tax intelligence project to identify tax evasion and improve its audit selection process. Moreover, the amendments to the sales and use tax legislation, previously discussed, are designed to improve the collection efficiency of the system, by reducing the amount of taxpayers entitled to a resale exemption certificate and providing a credit in lieu of such resale exemption.</R>

<R>Federal Grants</R>

<R>Puerto Rico receives grants under numerous federal programs. Federal grants to the agencies and instrumentalities of the Commonwealth government are estimated to be $5.750 billion for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $1.097 billion, or 23.5%, from fiscal year 2009.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $5 billion in stimulus funds from ARRA, of which $229.6 million and $1.332 billion are expected to be received by the government during fiscal years 2009 and 2010, respectively.</R>

<R>Budget of the Commonwealth</R>

<R>The fiscal year of the Commonwealth begins each July 1. The governor is constitutionally required to submit to the Legislative Assembly an annual balanced budget of revenues, capital improvements, and operating expenses of the central government for the ensuing fiscal year. The annual budget is prepared by OMB, in coordination with the Planning Board, the Treasury, and other government offices and agencies. Section 7 of Article VI of the Constitution provides that "The appropriations made for any fiscal year shall not exceed the total revenues, including available surplus, estimated for said fiscal year unless the imposition of taxes sufficient to cover said appropriations is provided by law."</R>

<R>The annual budget, which is developed utilizing elements of program budgeting, includes an estimate of revenues and other resources for the ensuing fiscal year under (i) laws existing at the time the budget is submitted, and (ii) legislative measures proposed by the governor and submitted with the proposed budget, as well as the governor's recommendations as to appropriations that in his judgment are necessary, convenient, and in conformity with the four-year investment plan prepared by the Planning Board.</R>

<R>The Legislative Assembly may amend the budget submitted by the governor but may not increase any items so as to cause a deficit without imposing taxes to cover such deficit. Upon passage by the Legislative Assembly, the budget is referred to the governor, who may decrease or eliminate any item but may not increase or insert any new item in the budget. The governor may also veto the budget in its entirety and return it to the Legislative Assembly with the governor's objections. The Legislative Assembly, by a two-thirds majority in each house, may override the governor's veto. If a budget is not adopted prior to the commencement of a fiscal year, the budget for such fiscal year shall be the annual budget for the preceding fiscal year as originally approved by the Legislative Assembly and the governor until a new budget is approved. This permits the Commonwealth to continue making payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.</R>

<R>Financial Control and Adjustment Procedures. Revenue estimates for budgetary purposes are prepared by the Treasury, except for estimates of federal grants, which are prepared by OMB based on information received from the various departments and other recipients of such grants. Revenue and federal grant estimates are under continuous review and, if necessary, are revised at least quarterly during the fiscal year. Fiscal control over expenditures is exercised by the governor, through the Director of OMB, and the Secretary of the Treasury.</R>

<R>During any fiscal year in which the resources available to the Commonwealth are insufficient to cover the appropriations approved for such year, the governor may take administrative measures to reduce expenses and submit to both houses of the Legislative Assembly a detailed report of any adjustment necessary to balance the budget, or make recommendations to the Legislative Assembly for new taxes or authorize borrowings under provisions of existing legislation or take any other necessary action to meet the estimated deficiency. Any such proposed adjustments shall give effect to the "priority norms" established by law for the disbursement of public funds in the following order of priority; first, the payment of the interest on and amortization requirements for public debt (Commonwealth general obligations and guaranteed debt for which the Commonwealth's guarantee has been exercised); second, the fulfillment of obligations arising out of legally binding contracts, court decisions on eminent domain, and other unavoidable obligations to protect the name, credit and good faith of the Commonwealth; third, current expenditures in the areas of health, protection of persons and property, education, welfare, and retirement systems; and fourth, all other purposes.</R>

<R>A Budgetary Fund was created by Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980, as amended (the Budgetary Fund), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, to secure the payment of public debt, and to provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public service. An amount equal to one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year is required to be deposited annually into the Fund. In addition, other income (not classified as revenues) that is not assigned by law to a specific purpose is also required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. The maximum balance of the Budgetary Fund may not exceed 6% of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year. During the last two fiscal years, the Legislative Assembly approved joint resolutions to halt temporarily the deposit of funds into the Budgetary Fund, and such funds were used instead to cover the budgetary deficits. As of April 30, 2009, the balance in the Budgetary Fund was $0.</R>

<R>An Emergency Fund was created by Act No. 91 of June 21, 1966, as amended (the Emergency Fund), to cover unexpected public needs caused by calamities, such as wars, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and plagues, and to protect people's lives and property and the public sector credit. The Emergency Fund is capitalized annually with an amount totaling no less than one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year. Act No. 91 was amended in 2003 to set an upper limit to the Emergency Fund of $150 million at the beginning of the fiscal year and was further amended in 2005 to authorize the disbursement of funds from the Emergency Fund to cover certain General Fund expenditures and operational costs of the State Emergency Management Agency. The 2005 amendment also authorizes GDB to lend to the Commonwealth up to $150 million to replenish the Emergency Fund to provide funding for emergency and disaster needs. As of April 30, 2009, the balance in the Emergency Fund was $3.6 million and $31.9 million is still available to be borrowed from GDB pursuant to said 2005 amendment.</R>

<R>Appropriations. Appropriations in the central government budget of Puerto Rico consist of the following:</R>

<R>(i) General Fund appropriations for recurring ordinary operating expenses of the central government and of the Legislative Assembly are made by a single annual law known as the Joint Resolution of the General Budget</R>

<R>(ii) General Fund appropriations for special operating expenses, for contributions to municipalities, the University of Puerto Rico and the Judicial Branch and for capital expenditures are authorized by separate law for one or more years for special programs or activities, which may be permanent or transitory</R>

<R>(iii) Disbursements of Special Funds for operating purposes and for capital improvements. For the most part, such disbursements do not require annual legislative authorization, because they are authorized by previous legislation or by the U.S. Congress. Federal grants constitute the major part of the resources of the Special Funds</R>

<R>(iv) Bond Fund appropriations for capital expenditures are financed by bonds. Such expenditures occur in one or more years.</R>

<R>In Puerto Rico, the central government performs many functions, which in the fifty states are the responsibility of local governments, such as providing public education, police and fire protection. The central government also provides significant annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico and to the municipalities. In addition, the Commonwealth appropriates annually to the Judicial Branch an amount equal to 4% of the average annual revenue from internal sources for each of the two preceding fiscal years. This percentage may be increased upon review, with scheduled reviews every five years.</R>

<R>For each of fiscal years 2008 and 2009, approximately 23% of the General Fund was committed to the payment of fixed charges such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, mandated funding for the Judicial Branch, rent payments to the Public Buildings Authority, and debt service on the direct debt of the Commonwealth. This proportion will increase to 36% in fiscal year 2010 since the Government of Puerto Rico is pledging additional resources to cover outstanding debts. For fiscal years 2008 and 2009, over 60% of the controllable funds portion of the General Fund was committed for the payment of the central government payroll (not including the University of Puerto Rico and the Judicial Branch). Commencing with fiscal year 2010, the Commonwealth expects to reduce this proportion to 46% due mainly to the savings in operational expenses of $2.0 billion expected from the implementation of the Fiscal Plan.</R>

<R>Projected Budget for Fiscal Year 2010. On April 29, 2009, the Governor of Puerto Rico submitted a proposed budget for fiscal year 2010 to the Legislative Assembly. The administration expects the budget to be approved before June 30, 2009.</R>

<R>Projected revenues for fiscal year 2010 total $15.1 billion and projected General Fund Revenues total $7.7 billion. The major changes in general fund revenues are accounted mainly by increases in property taxes (up $230.6 million), corporate income tax (up $129 million), personal income taxes (up $59 million), and excise taxes on cigarettes and alcoholic beverages (up $50 million) and decreases in the sales and use tax (down $305 million, due principally to the increase in the portion of the tax transferred to COFINA), retained non-resident income tax (down $55 million), federal excise tax on offshore shipments (down $38 million), interest on dividends subject to tax (down $9 million), and excise tax on motor vehicles and accessories (down $5 million).</R>

<R>Estimated expenses for the central government of all budgetary funds total $14.8 billion, a decrease of $66.8 million from fiscal year 2009. The major changes in general fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2010 are mainly due to increases in general obligation bonds debt service (up $232.6 million) and other debt service appropriations (up $450.9 million) and decreases in public safety and protection (down $1.273 billion), education (down $527.2 million), health (down $217.5 million), general government (down $88.1 million), welfare (down $255.5 million), economic development (down $61.2 million), transportation and communication (down $44.3 million), housing (down $21.2 million), and contributions to municipalities (down $9.1 million).</R>

<R>For fiscal year 2010, the government expects to incur an additional $2.5 billion in expenses, for a total of $10.1 billion in expenses. Approximately $2 billion of this amount is related to (i) transitory expenses related to the implementation of the expense-reduction measures in the Fiscal Plan ($1 billion) and (ii) additional expenses ($1 billion) which will be incurred in fiscal year 2010 but will not be incurred in subsequent fiscal years as a result of the expense reduction plan being implemented under Act 7. This additional amount of expenses is included in the consolidated budget of the Commonwealth and expected to be covered from the proceeds of COFINA bond issues.</R>

<R>Budget for Fiscal Year 2009. The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2009 totals $27.4 billion. Of this amount, $14.9 billion is assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $9.484 billion, which represents an increase of $396.5 million over approved expenditures for fiscal year 2008. The increase in expenditures is mainly due to University of Puerto Rico, judiciary, and municipal formula increases and salary increases mandated by law or collective bargaining agreements. Due to the fact that general elections were held in November 2008, which fell within fiscal year 2009, an additional $42.3 million was budgeted for the State Elections Commission.</R>

<R>The General Fund revenue projection for fiscal year 2009 was $8.488 billion, an increase of $235 million, or 2.8%, from estimated net revenues for fiscal year 2008 of $8.253 billion. The Commonwealth's budgeted expenditures for fiscal year 2009 of $9.484 billion exceed projected revenues of $8.488 billion by approximately $1 billion. The gap was covered by a $1.0 billion loan from GDB to the Commonwealth secured by certain tax receivables. This loan is expected to be repaid during fiscal year 2009 from COFINA bond issues.</R>

<R>Estimated expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds for fiscal year 2009 total $14.9 billion, an increase of $713.8 million from fiscal year 2008. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2009 are mainly due to increases in welfare (up $112.6 million), education (up $92.9 million), debt service on Commonwealth's general obligation and guaranteed debt (up $85.0 million), general government (up $75.1 million), health (up $46.3 million), special pension contribution (up $17.5 million), other debt service (up $12.1 million), contributions to municipalities (up $3.7 million), transportation and communication (up $2.1 million), public safety and protection (up $1.2 million), housing (up $0.6 million) and a decrease in economic development expenses of $28.5 million.</R>

<R>Given the expected reduction in revenues due to current economic conditions, the General Fund revenue projection for fiscal year 2009 was adjusted in January 2009 to $7.6 billion, a reduction of $884 million from the original budgeted revenues. For fiscal year 2009, in order to cover a budgetary imbalance between projected revenues of $8.5 billion and budgeted expenditures of $9.5 billion, the original budget included a $1 billion loan from GDB to the Commonwealth secured by an assignment of tax receivables. In addition, non-budgeted expenses in the amount of $1.349 billion were identified in the government transition process. The projected revenue shortfall of $884 million, plus the $1 billion GDB financing and the additional non-budgeted expenditures of $1.349 billion result in an aggregate structural deficit for fiscal year 2009 of approximately $3.233 billion. These are preliminary figures and are subject to final revision by OMB.</R>

<R>Act 7, in conjunction with Act 91 and Act 1, allocates to COFINA, commencing on July 1, 2009, a total of one-half of the 5.5% Commonwealth Sales Tax (the equivalent of a 2.75% tax), thus expanding COFINA's capacity to issue bonds. These laws allow for the use of these funds to cover operational expenses of the Commonwealth between fiscal years 2009 and 2012.</R>

<R>During the second half of fiscal year 2009, the Governor of Puerto Rico has issued several Executive Orders to implement measures of austerity, fiscal control and expense reduction. Among these initiatives, the Governor ordered government agencies to reduce their operational costs by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of half of their total budgeted expenses for fiscal year 2009, eliminate thirty percent (30%) of authorized government non-career positions, institute a hiring freeze of government employees, eliminate government credit cards, strictly control travel expenses, and impose limitations on the use of cellular phones and PDAs, agency vehicles, and electric power usage. These measures are currently being implemented by every agency and firmly monitored by OMB.</R>

<R>Expense Reduction Plan to Achieve Fiscal Balance. The Commonwealth's economic team is working together to enforce spending control measures that have been established to attempt to minimize the budget risk. Payroll expense reduction measures already implemented include: salary reduction of non-career employees and agency heads, salary freezes, ban of new positions, and the elimination of vacant positions. The executive and legislative branches also worked together to approve the legal framework for implementing the expense-reduction plan. As described above, Act 7 established a multiphase, mandatory expense-reduction program of $2 billion from the General Fund for fiscal year 2010. These expense-reduction measures are an important component of the Fiscal Plan and are expected to play a significant part in balancing the budget for subsequent fiscal years. Act 7 also provides for additional tax revenue generation and tax revenue enforcement measures and provides for a number of financial measures intended to eliminate the Commonwealth's recurring structural budget deficit on or before fiscal year 2013.</R>

<R>OMB will also establish a "Continuous Government Reform Agenda" with the objective of reducing Government's size through the implementation of a zero-based budgeting approach for fiscal year 2010. OMB plans to review programs and activities with a "grassroots" approach, rank activities by priority and social impact, and find synergies and efficiencies between programs as the Government merges activities in order to eliminate duplicative efforts.</R>

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of equity securities on a securities exchange or OTC are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Generally, compensation relating to securities traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than compensation relating to securities traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation. Compensation may also be paid in connection with principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system. Equity securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities are generally made with an issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal. Although there is no stated brokerage commission paid by the fund for any fixed-income security, the price paid by the fund to an underwriter includes the disclosed underwriting fee and prices in secondary trades usually include an undisclosed dealer commission or markup reflecting the spread between the bid and ask prices of the fixed-income security.

The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund. The Trustees also review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if it was reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

The Selection of Brokers

<R>In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) to execute each fund's portfolio transactions, FMR considers factors deemed relevant in the context of a particular trade and in regard to FMR's overall responsibilities with respect to each fund and other investment accounts, including any instructions from each fund's portfolio manager, which may emphasize, for example, speed of execution over other factors. The factors considered will influence whether it is appropriate to execute an order using ECNs, electronic channels including algorithmic trading, or by actively working an order. Other factors deemed relevant may include, but are not limited to: price; the size and type of the transaction; the reasonableness of compensation to be paid, including spreads and commission rates; the speed and certainty of trade executions, including broker willingness to commit capital; the nature and characteristics of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold, including the degree of specialization of the broker in such markets or securities; the availability of liquidity in the security, including the liquidity and depth afforded by a market center or market-maker; the reliability of a market center or broker; the broker's overall trading relationship with FMR; the trader's assessment of whether and how closely the broker likely will follow the trader's instructions to the broker; the degree of anonymity that a particular broker or market can provide; the potential for avoiding market impact; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable. In seeking best qualitative execution, FMR may select a broker using a trading method for which the broker may charge a higher commission than its lowest available commission rate. FMR also may select a broker that charges more than the lowest available commission rate available from another broker. For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services provided by the FCM.</R>

The Acquisition of Brokerage and Research Products and Services

Brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) that execute transactions for each fund may receive higher compensation from each fund than other brokers might have charged each fund, in recognition of the value of the brokerage or research products and services they provide to FMR or its affiliates.

<R>Research Products and Services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, company, municipal, sovereign (U.S. and non-U.S.), legal, or political research reports; market color; company meeting facilitation; compilation of securities prices, earnings, dividends and similar data; quotation services, data, information and other services; analytical computer software and services; and investment recommendations. FMR may request that a broker provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. Some of these products and services supplement FMR's own research activities in providing investment advice to the funds.</R>

Execution Services. In addition, products and services may include those that assist in the execution, clearing, and settlement of securities transactions, as well as other incidental functions (including but not limited to communication services related to trade execution, order routing and algorithmic trading, post-trade matching, exchange of messages among brokers or dealers, custodians and institutions, and the use of electronic confirmation and affirmation of institutional trades).

Mixed-Use Products and Services. In addition to receiving brokerage and research products and services via written reports and computer-delivered services, such reports may also be provided by telephone and in personal meetings with securities analysts, corporate and industry spokespersons, economists, academicians and government representatives and others with relevant professional expertise. FMR and its affiliates may use commission dollars to obtain certain products or services that are not used exclusively in FMR's or its affiliates' investment decision-making process (mixed-use products or services). In those circumstances, FMR or its affiliates will make a good faith judgment to evaluate the various benefits and uses to which they intend to put the mixed-use product or service, and will pay for that portion of the mixed-use product or service that does not qualify as brokerage and research products and services with their own resources (referred to as "hard dollars").

Benefit to FMR. FMR's expenses would likely be increased if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts, or if it paid for these products or services itself. Certain of the brokerage and research products and services FMR receives from brokers are furnished by brokers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. Some of these products or services may not have an explicit cost associated with such product or service.

FMR's Decision-Making Process. Before causing a fund to pay a particular level of compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research products and services provided to FMR, viewed in terms of the particular transaction for a fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to a fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. While FMR may take into account the brokerage and/or research products and services provided by a broker in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor the funds incur an obligation to any broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a specific amount of compensation or otherwise. Typically, these products and services assist FMR and its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to a fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund. Certain funds or investment accounts may use brokerage commissions to acquire brokerage and research products and services that may also benefit other funds or accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates.

<R>Research Contracts. FMR has arrangements with certain third-party research providers and brokers through whom FMR effects fund trades, whereby FMR may pay with fund commissions or hard dollars for all or a portion of the cost of research products and services purchased from such research providers or brokers. If hard dollar payments are used, FMR may still cause a fund to pay more for execution than the lowest commission rate available from the broker providing research products and services to FMR, or that may be available from another broker. FMR views hard dollar payments for research products and services as likely to reduce a fund's total commission costs even though it is expected that in such hard dollar arrangements the commissions available for recapture and to pay fund expenses, as described below, will decrease. FMR's determination to pay for research products and services separately, rather than bundled with fund commissions, is wholly voluntary on FMR's part and may be extended to additional brokers or discontinued with any broker participating in this arrangement.</R>

Commission Recapture

<R>FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker, using a predetermined methodology, rebates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund to offset that fund's expenses, which may be paid to FMR or its affiliates. Not all brokers with whom a fund trades have agreed to participate in brokerage commission recapture.</R>

Affiliated Transactions

FMR may place trades with certain brokers, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), with whom it is under common control provided FMR determines that these affiliates' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the funds could purchase in the underwritings.

Trade Allocation

Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed by FMR to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases adherence to these procedures could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the funds.

Commissions Paid

A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by a fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changing asset levels, shareholder activity, and/or portfolio turnover.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the portfolio turnover rates were 19% and 22%, respectively, for Arizona Municipal Income.</R>

<R>For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, Arizona Municipal Money Market paid no brokerage commissions.</R>

<R>The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions paid by Arizona Municipal Income, comprising commissions paid on securities and/or futures transactions, as applicable, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. The total amount of brokerage commissions paid is stated as a dollar amount and a percentage of the fund's average net assets.</R>

<R>Fund	Fiscal Year Ended	Dollar Amount	Percentage of Average Net Assets</R>
<R>Arizona Municipal Income	August 31		</R>
<R>2009		$ 36	0.00%</R>
<R>2008		$ 828	0.00%</R>
<R>2007		$ 240	0.00%</R>

<R>For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, each fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research or brokerage services.</R>

VALUATION

Each fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Municipal Bond Fund. Portfolio securities are valued by various methods. If quotations are not available, debt securities are usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

Money Market Fund. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price the fund would receive if it sold the instrument.

Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from a fund's amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

A fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

Each fund, in its discretion, may determine to issue its shares in kind in exchange for securities held by the purchaser having a value, determined in accordance with the fund's policies for valuation of portfolio securities, equal to the purchase price of the fund shares issued. A fund will accept for in-kind purchases only securities or other instruments that are appropriate under its investment objective and policies. In addition, a fund generally will not accept securities of any issuer unless they are liquid, have a readily ascertainable market value, and are not subject to restrictions on resale. All dividends, distributions, and subscription or other rights associated with the securities become the property of the fund, along with the securities. Shares purchased in exchange for securities in kind generally cannot be redeemed for fifteen days following the exchange to allow time for the transfer to settle.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

<R>Dividends. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund will be federally tax-exempt, provided that the fund qualifies to pay tax-exempt dividends. In order to qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends, at least 50% of the value of the fund's total assets (including uninvested assets) must consist of tax-exempt municipal securities at the close of each quarter of the fund's taxable year. Short-term capital gains are taxable at ordinary income tax rates.</R>

Generally, each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax Neither FMR nor the funds guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued and you may need to file an amended income tax return. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

<R>Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal AMT, although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.</R>

A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, not as capital gains.

<R>Arizona Tax Matters. It is the published position of the Arizona Department of Revenue that dividends paid by a regulated investment company are exempt from Arizona state income tax to the extent such dividends are derived from interest on obligations the interest on which is exempt from Arizona state income tax. For purposes of Arizona income taxation, distributions derived from interest on other types of obligations (i.e., obligations the interest on which is not exempt from Arizona state income tax) will be taxable as ordinary income, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares. Distributions of net capital gains (both short- and long-term net capital gains) are not exempt from Arizona income taxation and are taxed at regular income tax rates. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder in connection with the purchase of shares of a fund will not be deductible for Arizona personal income tax purposes.</R>

Capital Gain Distributions. Each fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains. The money market fund may distribute any net realized capital gains once a year or more often, as necessary.

<R>As of August 31, 2009, Arizona Municipal Income had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $397,926. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on August 31, 2017, is available to offset future capital gains. Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations, a fund's ability to utilize its capital loss carryforwards in a given year or in total may be limited.</R>

Tax Status of the Funds. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

<R>The Trustees and executive officers of the trusts and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, and review each fund's performance.

<R>Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. The committees facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to Independent Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has three standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees.</R>

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Wolfe currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets at least six times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates. The committee has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. These matters include, but are not limited to, significant non-conformance with contract requirements and other significant regulatory matters and recommending to the Board of Trustees the designation of a person to serve as the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The committee (i) serves as the primary point of contact for the CCO with regard to Board-related functions; (ii) oversees the annual performance review of the CCO; (iii) makes recommendations concerning the CCO's compensation; and (iv) makes recommendations as needed in respect of the removal of the CCO. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, the committee held 26 meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Ms. Knowles currently serving as Chair. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least annually with the funds' Treasurer, with the funds' Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, and with the funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the funds and the funds' service providers (to the extent such controls impact the funds' financial statements); (ii) the funds' auditors and the annual audits of the funds' financial statements; (iii) the financial reporting processes of the funds; (iv) whistleblower reports; and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the funds and for resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the funds and any service providers consistent with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee will also review any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies or published reports that raise material issues regarding the funds' financial statements or accounting policies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Operations Committee. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the funds. The committee will review with FMR, the funds' outside auditor, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC and, as appropriate, legal counsel the results of audits of the funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, the committee held six meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Wolfe (Chair) and Gamper, and Ms. Knowles. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, the committee held six meetings.</R>

<R>FMR, FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., FMR Japan, FRAC, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), FDC, and the funds have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the funds.</R>

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are interested persons of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of each fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. Under the terms of each fund's management contract, FMR is responsible for payment of all operating expenses of each fund with certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR include expenses for typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of the custodian, auditor, and interested Trustees, each fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. Each fund's management contract further provides that FMR will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services and pricing and bookkeeping services.

FMR pays all other expenses of each fund with the following exceptions: fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fees. For the services of FMR under each management contract, Arizona Municipal Money Market and Arizona Municipal Income each pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, of the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The management fee paid to FMR by each fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the Independent Trustees.

The following table shows the amount of management fees paid by each fund to FMR for the past three fiscal years, and the amount of credits reducing management fees for each fund.

<R>Fund	Fiscal Years Ended August 31	Amount of Credits Reducing Management Fees	Management Fees Paid to FMR*</R>
<R>Arizona Municipal Money Market	2009	$ 43,063	$ 1,992,298</R>
<R>	2008	$ 348,305	$ 1,915,109</R>
<R>	2007	$ 366,994	$ 1,493,508</R>
<R>Arizona Municipal Income	2009	$ 5,469	$ 733,895</R>
<R>	2008	$ 42,700	$ 766,260</R>
<R>	2007	$ 79,968	$ 660,783</R>

* After reduction of fees and expenses paid by the fund to the Independent Trustees.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a fund's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a fund will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FIMM. On behalf of each fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM pursuant to which FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for each fund. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, FMR, and not the funds, pays FIMM's fees.

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of each fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of each fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM, and not the funds, pays FIIA. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA, and not the funds, pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

Sub-Adviser - FRAC. On behalf of each fund, FMR, FIMM, and FRAC have entered into a research agreement. Pursuant to the research agreement, FRAC provides investment advice and research services on domestic issuers. Under the terms of the research agreement, FMR and FIMM, and not the funds, agree, in the aggregate, to pay FRAC.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. On behalf of each fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States (non-discretionary services) and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority and the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the funds (discretionary services). FMR, and not the funds, pay the sub-advisers.

<R>Christine Thompson is the portfolio manager of Arizona Municipal Income and receives compensation for her services. As of August 31, 2009, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to her tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over her tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with her tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a benchmark index. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of Ms. Thompson's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Arizona Municipal Income is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the fund measured against the Barclays Capital Arizona 4+ Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.</R>

The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in the fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate her time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.

<R>The following table provides information relating to other accounts managed by Ms. Thompson as of August 31, 2009:</R>

<R>	Registered Investment Companies*	Other Pooled Investment Vehicles	Other Accounts</R>

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the Independent Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)

I. General Principles

<R> A. Voting of shares will be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of Fidelity Fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company will generally be voted in a manner consistent with the Guidelines; and (ii) voting will be done without regard to any other Fidelity companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.</R>

<R> B. FMR Investment Proxy Research votes proxies. In the event an Investment Proxy Research employee has a personal conflict with a portfolio company or an employee or director of a portfolio company, that employee will withdraw from making any proxy voting decisions with respect to that portfolio company. A conflict of interest arises when there are factors that may prompt one to question whether a Fidelity employee is acting solely in the best interests of Fidelity and its customers. Employees are expected to avoid situations that could present even the appearance of a conflict between their interests and the interests of Fidelity and its customers.</R>

C. Except as set forth herein, FMR will generally vote in favor of routine management proposals.

D. Non-routine proposals will generally be voted in accordance with the Guidelines.

<R> E. Non-routine proposals not covered by the Guidelines or involving other special circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with input from the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, as applicable, subject to review by an attorney within FMR's General Counsel's office and a member of senior management within FMR's Investment Proxy Research. A significant pattern of such proposals or other special circumstances will be referred to the appropriate Fidelity Fund Board Committee or its designee.</R>

F. FMR will vote on shareholder proposals not specifically addressed by the Guidelines based on an evaluation of a proposal's likelihood to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value. Where information is not readily available to analyze the economic impact of the proposal, FMR will generally abstain.

G. Many Fidelity Funds invest in voting securities issued by companies that are domiciled outside the United States and are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange. Corporate governance standards, legal or regulatory requirements and disclosure practices in foreign countries can differ from those in the United States. When voting proxies relating to non-U.S. securities, FMR will generally evaluate proposals in the context of the Guidelines, but FMR may, where applicable and feasible, take into consideration differing laws and regulations in the relevant foreign market in determining how to vote shares.

H. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, shareholders voting shares of a portfolio company may be restricted from trading the shares for a period of time around the shareholder meeting date. Because such trading restrictions can hinder portfolio management and could result in a loss of liquidity for a fund, FMR will generally not vote proxies in circumstances where such restrictions apply. In addition, certain non-U.S. jurisdictions require voting shareholders to disclose current share ownership on a fund-by-fund basis. When such disclosure requirements apply, FMR will generally not vote proxies in order to safeguard fund holdings information.

I. Where a management-sponsored proposal is inconsistent with the Guidelines, FMR may receive a company's commitment to modify the proposal or its practice to conform to the Guidelines, and FMR will generally support management based on this commitment. If a company subsequently does not abide by its commitment, FMR will generally withhold authority for the election of directors at the next election.

II. Definitions (as used in this document)

A. Anti-Takeover Provision - includes fair price amendments; classified boards; "blank check" preferred stock; Golden Parachutes; supermajority provisions; Poison Pills; restricting the right to call special meetings; and any other provision that eliminates or limits shareholder rights.

<R> B. Golden Parachute - Employment contracts, agreements, or policies that include an excise tax gross-up provision; single trigger for cash incentives; or may result in a lump sum payment of cash and acceleration of equity that may total more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of a termination following a change in control.</R>

C. Greenmail - payment of a premium to repurchase shares from a shareholder seeking to take over a company through a proxy contest or other means.

D. Sunset provision - a condition in a charter or plan that specifies an expiration date.

E. Permitted Bid Feature - a provision suspending the application of a Poison Pill, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer for all outstanding shares.

F. Poison Pill - a strategy employed by a potential take-over/target company to make its stock less attractive to an acquirer. Poison Pills are generally designed to dilute the acquirer's ownership and value in the event of a take-over.

G. Large-Capitalization Company - a company included in the Russell 1000^® stock index.

H. Small-Capitalization Company - a company not included in the Russell 1000 stock index that is not a Micro-Capitalization Company.

I. Micro-Capitalization Company - a company with a market capitalization under US $300 million.

III. Directors

A. Incumbent Directors

FMR will generally vote in favor of incumbent and nominee directors except where one or more such directors clearly appear to have failed to exercise reasonable judgment.

FMR will also generally withhold authority for the election of all directors or directors on responsible committees if:

1. An Anti-Takeover Provision was introduced, an Anti-Takeover Provision was extended, or a new Anti-Takeover Provision was adopted upon the expiration of an existing Anti-Takeover Provision, without shareholder approval except as set forth below.

With respect to Poison Pills, however, FMR will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if all of the following conditions are met when a Poison Pill is introduced, extended, or adopted:

a. The Poison Pill includes a Sunset Provision of less than five years;

b. The Poison Pill includes a Permitted Bid Feature;

c. The Poison Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; and

d. Shareholder approval is required to reinstate the Poison Pill upon expiration.

FMR will also consider not withholding authority on the election of directors when one or more of the conditions above are not met if a board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding above conditions noted a. and b. to an existing Poison Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, FMR will withhold authority on the election of directors.

2. The company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend the Poison Pill to allow Fidelity to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.

<R> 3. Within the last year and without shareholder approval, a company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options, exchanged outstanding options for equity, or tendered cash for outstanding options.</R>

4. The company failed to act in the best interests of shareholders when approving executive compensation, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company used an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee engaged independent compensation consultants; and (iii) whether it has been proven that the company engaged in options backdating.

5. To gain FMR's support on a proposal, the company made a commitment to modify a proposal or practice to conform to the Guidelines and the company has failed to act on that commitment.

6. The director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board or its committees on which the director served during the company's prior fiscal year, absent extenuating circumstances.

7. The board is not comprised of a majority of independent directors.

B. Indemnification

FMR will generally vote in favor of charter and by-law amendments expanding the indemnification of directors and/or limiting their liability for breaches of care unless FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by Anti-Takeover Provisions.

C. Independent Chairperson

FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.

D. Majority Director Elections

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals calling for directors to be elected by an affirmative majority of votes cast in a board election, provided that the proposal allows for plurality voting standard in the case of contested elections (i.e., where there are more nominees than board seats). FMR may consider voting against such shareholder proposals where a company's board has adopted an alternative measure, such as a director resignation policy, that provides a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard and appropriately addresses situations where an incumbent director fails to receive the support of a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election.

IV. Compensation

A. Equity award plans (including stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock awards).

FMR will generally vote against equity award plans or amendments to authorize additional shares under such plans if:

1. (a) The dilution effect of the shares outstanding and available for issuance pursuant to all plans, plus any new share requests is greater than 10% for a Large-Capitalization Company, 15% for a Small-Capitalization Company or 20% for a Micro-Capitalization Company; and (b) there were no circumstances specific to the company or the plans that lead FMR to conclude that the level of dilution in the plan or the amendments is acceptable.

2. In the case of stock option plans, (a) the offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus; (b) the plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options; or (c) the board/committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past two years.

3. The plan may be materially altered without shareholder approval, including increasing the benefits accrued to participants under the plan; increasing the number of securities which may be issued under the plan; modifying the requirements for participation in the plan; or including a provision allowing the board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion, except in limited cases relating to death, disability, retirement, or change in control.

4. Awards to non-employee directors are subject to management discretion.

5. In the case of stock awards, the restriction period is less than three years for non-performance-based awards, and less than one year for performance-based awards.

FMR will consider approving an equity award plan or an amendment to authorize additional shares under such plan if, without complying with the guidelines immediately above, the following two conditions are met:

1. The shares are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors; and

<R> 2. The shares are limited to 5% (Large-Capitalization Company) and 10% (Small- or Micro-Capitalization Company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

B. Equity Exchanges and Repricing

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of a management proposal to exchange, reprice or tender for cash, outstanding options if the proposed exchange, repricing, or tender offer is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

1. Whether the proposal excludes senior management and directors;

<R> 2. Whether the exchange or repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable pricing model;</R>

<R> 3. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 4. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 5. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether an exchange or repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

C. Employee Stock Purchase Plans

FMR will generally vote against employee stock purchase plans if the plan violates any of the criteria in section IV(A) above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, FMR may permit a lower minimum stock purchase price equal to the prevailing "best practices" in the relevant non-U.S. market, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.

D. Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)

FMR will generally vote in favor of non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. FMR will generally vote against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.

E. Executive Compensation

FMR will generally vote against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans if such proposals are inconsistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.

F. Bonus Plans and Tax Deductibility Proposals

FMR will generally vote in favor of cash and stock incentive plans that are submitted for shareholder approval in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that the plan includes well defined and appropriate performance criteria, and with respect to any cash component, that the maximum award per participant is clearly stated and is not unreasonable or excessive.

V. Anti-Takeover Provisions

FMR will generally vote against a proposal to adopt or approve the adoption of an Anti-Takeover Provision unless:

A. The Poison Pill includes the following features:

1. A Sunset Provision of no greater than five years;

2. Linked to a business strategy that is expected to result in greater value for the shareholders;

3. Requires shareholder approval to be reinstated upon expiration or if amended;

4. Contains a Permitted Bid Feature; and

5. Allows the Fidelity Funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.

B. An Anti-Greenmail proposal that does not include other Anti-Takeover Provisions; or

C. It is a fair price amendment that considers a two-year price history or less.

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to eliminate Anti-Takeover Provisions. In the case of proposals to declassify a board of directors, FMR will generally vote against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes include a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.

VI. Capital Structure/Incorporation

A. Increases in Common Stock

FMR will generally vote against a provision to increase a company's common stock if such increase will result in a total number of authorized shares greater than three times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares, including stock options, except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase that will result in a total number of authorized shares up to five times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares is generally acceptable.

B. New Classes of Shares

FMR will generally vote against the introduction of new classes of stock with differential voting rights.

C. Cumulative Voting Rights

FMR will generally vote against the introduction and in favor of the elimination of cumulative voting rights.

D. Acquisition or Business Combination Statutes

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to opt out of the control shares acquisition or business combination statutes.

E. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country

FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and vote in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under United States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.

VII. Shares of Investment Companies

<R> A. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying Fidelity Fund with public shareholders, an exchange traded fund (ETF), or non-affiliated fund, FMR will vote in the same proportion as all other voting shareholders of such underlying fund or class ("echo voting").</R>

B. Certain Fidelity Funds may invest in shares of underlying Fidelity Funds which are held exclusively by Fidelity Funds or accounts managed by an FMR or an affiliate. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals recommended by the underlying funds' Board of Trustees.

VIII. Other

A. Voting Process

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to adopt confidential voting and independent vote tabulation practices.

B. Regulated Industries

Voting of shares in securities of any regulated industry (e.g. U.S. banking) organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the industry's regulator (e.g. the Federal Reserve Board) for a determination under applicable law (e.g. federal banking law) that no fund or group of funds has acquired control of such organization.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

<R>Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The distribution agreements call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the funds, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.</R>

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans with respect to shares of each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow shares of the funds and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

<R>Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of Arizona Municipal Money Market and Arizona Municipal Income and/or shareholder support services. In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares of Arizona Municipal Money Market and Arizona Municipal Income.</R>

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by shares of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of the fund, additional sales of shares of the fund or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

<R>FDC or an affiliate may compensate, or upon direction make payments for certain retirement plan expenses to, intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (including affiliates of FDC). A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, without limitation, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of assets or sales of shares, the placing of the funds on a preferred or recommended fund list, access to an intermediary's personnel, and other factors. In addition to such payments, FDC or an affiliate may offer other incentives such as sponsorship of educational or client seminars relating to current products and issues, assistance in training and educating the intermediaries' personnel, payments or reimbursements for travel and related expenses associated with due diligence trips that an intermediary may undertake in order to explore possible business relationships with affiliates of FDC, and/or payments of costs and expenses associated with attendance at seminars, including travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. FDC anticipates that payments will be made to over a hundred intermediaries, including some of the largest broker-dealers and other financial firms, and certain of the payments described above may be significant to an intermediary. As permitted by SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules and other applicable laws and regulations, FDC or an affiliate may pay or allow other incentives or payments to intermediaries.</R>

A fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to certain intermediaries (who may be affiliated with the transfer agent) for providing recordkeeping and administrative services to plan participants or for providing other services to retirement plans. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in this SAI for more information.

If you have purchased shares of a fund through an investment professional, please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Any of the payments described in this section may represent a premium over payments made by other fund families. Investment professionals may have an added incentive to sell or recommend a fund or a share class over others offered by competing fund families, or retirement plan sponsors may take these payments into account when deciding whether to include a fund as a plan investment option.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

<R>Each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreements, Citibank provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for each fund. Citibank in turn has entered into sub-transfer agent agreements with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FIIOC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for each fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.</R>

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee with respect to each position in a fund. For retail accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fee is billed monthly on a pro rata basis at one-twelfth of the applicable annual rate as of the end of each calendar month. The asset-based fee is calculated and paid monthly on the basis of average daily net assets. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

FIIOC also may collect fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FIIOC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in certain funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, or a fund of funds' assets that is invested in a fund.

FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

Many fund shares are owned by intermediaries for the benefit of their customers. Since a fund often does not maintain an account for shareholders in those instances, some or all of the recordkeeping services for these accounts may be performed by third parties. FIIOC or an affiliate may make payments to intermediaries (including affiliates of FIIOC) for recordkeeping and other services.

Retirement plans may also hold fund shares in the name of the plan or its trustee, rather than the plan participant. In situations where FIIOC or an affiliate does not provide recordkeeping services, plan recordkeepers, who may have affiliated financial intermediaries who sell shares of the funds, may, upon direction, be paid for providing recordkeeping services to plan participants. Payments may also be made, upon direction, for other plan expenses. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

In certain situations where FIIOC or an affiliate provides recordkeeping services to a retirement plan, payments may be made to pay for plan expenses. The amount of such payments may be based on investments in particular Fidelity funds, or may be fixed for a given period of time. Upon direction, payments may be made to plan sponsors, or at the direction of plan sponsors, third parties, for expenses incurred in connection with the plan. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

Each fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreements, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for each fund. Citibank in turn has entered into sub-service agent agreements with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for each fund and maintaining each fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping fees paid to Citibank.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on each fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

FMR bears the cost of transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services and pricing and bookkeeping services under the terms of its management contract with each fund.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS

Trust Organization. Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust II, an open-end management investment company created under an initial trust instrument dated June 20, 1991. Currently, there are three funds offered in Fidelity Union Street Trust II: Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund, Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund, and Fidelity AMT Tax-Free Money Fund. Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated March 1, 1974. Currently, there are two funds offered in Fidelity Union Street Trust: Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity Maryland Municipal Income Fund. On August 15, 2005, Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund changed its name from Spartan Arizona Municipal Income to Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trusts and to create additional classes of the funds.

The assets of each trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in a trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the respective trusts shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability - Massachusetts Trust. Fidelity Union Street Trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Massachusetts trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the Massachusetts trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the Massachusetts trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote.

Shareholder Liability - Delaware Trust. Fidelity Union Street Trust II is a statutory trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Instrument, shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of Delaware. The courts of some states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the Delaware trust. The Trust Instrument provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Trust Instrument further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Trust Instrument also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and a fund is unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely remote.

<R>Voting Rights - Massachusetts Trust. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class. </R>

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

Fidelity Union Street Trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodian. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the funds. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.

<R>FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.</R>

<R>Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, examines financial statements for each fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.</R>

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

<R>Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference. Total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table may differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights because total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table include any acquired fund fees and expenses, whereas the ratios of expenses in the financial highlights do not. Acquired funds include other investment companies (such as central funds or other underlying funds) in which a fund has invested, if and to the extent it is permitted to do so. Total annual operating expenses in the prospectus fee table and the financial highlights do not include any expenses associated with investments in certain structured or synthetic products that may rely on the exception from the definition of "investment company" provided by section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act.</R>

FUND HOLDINGS INFORMATION

Each fund views holdings information as sensitive and limits its dissemination. The Board authorized FMR to establish and administer guidelines for the dissemination of fund holdings information, which may be amended at any time without prior notice. FMR's Disclosure Policy Committee (comprising executive officers of FMR) evaluates disclosure policy with the goal of serving a fund's best interests by striking an appropriate balance between providing information about a fund's portfolio and protecting a fund from potentially harmful disclosure. The Board reviews the administration and modification of these guidelines and receives reports from the funds' chief compliance officer periodically.

Arizona Municipal Income will provide a full list of holdings monthly on www.fidelity.com 30 days after the month-end (excluding high income security holdings, which generally will be presented collectively monthly and included in a list of full holdings 60 days after its fiscal quarter-end).

<R>Arizona Municipal Money Market will provide a full list of holdings as of the end of the fund's fiscal quarter on www.fidelity.com 60 days after its fiscal quarter-end. The fund's full holdings are also available monthly, 15 or more days after month-end by calling Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.</R>

This information will be available on the web site until updated for the next applicable period.

Arizona Municipal Money Market may from time to time make full holdings available more frequently, including daily, if such disclosure is determined by FMR to be in the interest of fund shareholders. A fund may also from time to time provide or make available to the Board or third parties upon request specific fund level performance attribution information and statistics, or holdings information with respect to a specific security or company. Third parties may include fund shareholders or prospective fund shareholders, members of the press, consultants, and ratings and rankings organizations.

<R>The Use of Holdings In Connection With Fund Operations. Material non-public holdings information may be provided as part of the investment activities of each fund to: entities which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the fund, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed; other parties if legally required; or persons FMR believes will not misuse the disclosed information. These entities, parties, and persons include: a fund's trustees; a fund's manager, its sub-advisers and their affiliates whose access persons are subject to a code of ethics; contractors who are subject to a confidentiality agreement; a fund's auditors; a fund's custodians; proxy voting service providers; financial printers; pricing service vendors; broker-dealers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities; securities lending agents; counsel to a fund or their Independent Trustees; regulatory authorities; stock exchanges and other listing organizations; parties to litigation; and third-parties in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding relating to a fund holding. Non-public holdings information may also be provided to an issuer regarding the number or percentage of its shares that are owned by a fund and in connection with redemptions in kind.</R>

Other Uses Of Holdings Information. In addition, each fund may provide material non-public holdings information to (i) third-parties that calculate information derived from holdings for use by FMR or its affiliates, (ii) third parties that supply their analyses of holdings (but not the holdings themselves) to their clients (including sponsors of retirement plans or their consultants), (iii) ratings and rankings organizations, and (iv) an investment adviser, trustee, or their agents to whom holdings are disclosed for due diligence purposes or in anticipation of a merger involving a fund. Each individual request is reviewed by the Disclosure Policy Committee which must find, in its sole discretion that, based on the specific facts and circumstances, the disclosure appears unlikely to be harmful to a fund. Entities receiving this information must have in place control mechanisms to reasonably ensure or otherwise agree that, (a) the holdings information will be kept confidential, (b) no employee shall use the information to effect trading or for their personal benefit, and (c) the nature and type of information that they, in turn, may disclose to third-parties is limited. FMR relies primarily on the existence of non-disclosure agreements and/or control mechanisms when determining that disclosure is not likely to be harmful to a fund.

<R>At this time, the entities receiving information described in the preceding paragraph are: Factset Research Systems Inc. (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day); Thomson Vestek (full holdings, as of the end of the calendar quarter, 15 calendar days after the calendar quarter-end); Standard & Poor's Rating Services (full holdings weekly (generally as of the previous Friday), generally 5 business days thereafter); Moody's Investors Service (full holdings monthly, (generally as of the last Friday of each month), generally the first Friday of the following month); Anacomp Inc. (full or partial holdings daily, on the next business day); and Fitch Inc. and certain affiliates (full holdings weekly (generally as of the previous Friday), generally 5 business days thereafter).</R>

FMR, its affiliates, or the funds will not enter into any arrangements with third-parties from which they derive consideration for the disclosure of material non-public holdings information. If, in the future, FMR desired to make such an arrangement, it would seek prior Board approval and any such arrangements would be disclosed in the funds' SAI.

There can be no assurance that the funds' policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of fund portfolio holdings will prevent the misuse of such information by individuals and firms that receive such information.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Maryland Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Maryland personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Maryland personal income taxes.
Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to a Maryland bond index.
Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund.

Principal Investment Risks

Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within Maryland can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
<R>Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.</R>
Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure and magnify investment risks.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. The fund also compares the performance of its shares to the performance of an additional index over various periods of time. Returns (before and after taxes) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Maryland Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Maryland personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Maryland personal income taxes. The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality). Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Maryland personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to Maryland personal income taxes. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

FMR uses a Maryland bond index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. This index, a market value-weighted index of Maryland investment-grade fixed-rate municipal bonds, is designed to represent FMR's view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. FMR may, from time to time, change the index or the characteristics of the index in response to changes in the market or the fund's peer group, for example, when the observed interest rate sensitivity or credit composition of the fund's competitive universe deviates from that of the index.

Prospectus

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in Maryland, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

The fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

Geographic Concentration. The State of Maryland is more reliant on the service and government sectors, as well as passively generated revenues (dividends, interest and rent) in regard to the source of its residents' personal income, than the nation as a whole, while the manufacturing sector and the receipt of transfer payments is less significant than it is nationwide. Downturns in the service and government sectors or in the generation of passive income could therefore have an effect on the stability of the economy of the State of Maryland or the economies of any of its political subdivisions.

<R>Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value.</R>

Prospectus

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance, and the fund could distribute income subject to federal or Maryland personal income taxes.

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Excessive Trading Policy

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.

Shareholder Information - continued

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to such transactions exceeding $5,000. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. FMR will apply these policies through a phased implementation. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

Prospectus

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from the fund, which is discussed in "Selling Shares." As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

<R>If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.</R>

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.

If you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the fund, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.

The fund also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:

<R>Redemptions due to Fidelity fund small balance maintenance fees; and</R>
Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree.

The fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.

<R>A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:</R>

<R>When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;</R>
<R>When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;</R>
<R>When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or</R>
<R>In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.</R>

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above $5,000 worth of shares to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for more than one year, the check may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the next NAV calculated on the day of the investment.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

<R>The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.</R>

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund normally pays capital gain distributions in October and December.

Earning Dividends

The fund only processes purchase and redemption requests on days it's open for business.

Prospectus

Shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.

Shares generally earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for shares of the fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends^® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the next NAV calculated on the day of the investment.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you.

Taxes on distributions. The fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and Maryland personal income taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

For Maryland personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of Maryland issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as capital gains are generally exempt from Maryland personal income tax to the extent derived from municipal securities of Maryland issuers. All other distributions may be taxable for Maryland personal income tax purposes.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as taxable income or a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax or Maryland personal income tax purposes. A return of capital generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and Maryland personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

<R>Intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. These payments are described in more detail in the following paragraphs and in the SAI.</R>

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers, and administrators, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Senior Securities

Borrowing

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary and emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

Underwriting

Concentration

Real Estate

Commodities

Loans

Pooled Funds

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Diversification

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

Short Sales

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts, options, and swaps are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

Margin Purchases

Borrowing

Illiquid Securities

For purposes of the fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Loans

The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities.

Pooled Funds

In addition to the fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

<R>Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index, and some are based on Eurodollars. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out by offsetting purchases or sales of futures contracts before then if a liquid market is available. The fund may realize a gain or loss by closing out its futures contracts.</R>

Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

Municipal Market Disruption Risk. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the Maryland legislature that would affect the state tax treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a municipal fund's holdings would be affected, and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Demand features and standby commitments are types of put features.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

<R>Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, swaps, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the issuer or the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase or hold a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, factors considered may include whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the issuer and/or entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.</R>

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.

<R>Tender Option Bonds are created by depositing intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate or variable rate, municipal bonds into a trust and issuing two classes of trust interests (or "certificates") with varying economic interests to investors. Holders of the first class of trust interests, or floating rate certificates, receive tax-exempt interest based on short-term rates and may tender the certificate to the trust at par. As consideration for providing the tender option, the trust sponsor (typically a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees. The trust pays the holders of the floating rate certificates from proceeds of a remarketing of the certificates or from a draw on a liquidity facility provided by the sponsor. A fund investing in a floating rate certificate effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. The floating rate certificate is typically an eligible security for money market funds. Holders of the second class of interests, sometimes called the residual income certificates, are entitled to any tax-exempt interest received by the trust that is not payable to floating rate certificate holders, and bear the risk that the underlying municipal bonds decline in value. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the experience of the custodian, and the quality of the sponsor providing the tender option. In certain instances, the tender option may be terminated if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.</R>

The bank accounts are registered to the transfer agent or an affiliate, who acts as an agent for the fund when opening, closing and conducting business in the bank accounts. The transfer agent or an affiliate may invest overnight balances in the accounts in repurchase agreements. Any balances that are not invested in repurchase agreements remain in the bank accounts overnight. Any risks associated with these accounts are investment risks of the fund. The fund faces the risk of loss of these balances if the bank becomes insolvent.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING MARYLAND</R>

<R>The following information regarding the State and its local units of government is a summary based upon information drawn from official statements and has not been independently verified.</R>

<R>The fund's performance is directly tied to the ability of issuers of Maryland (as used in this section, the "State") municipal securities to continue to make principal and interest payments on their securities, which in turn depends on economic and other conditions within the State. The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the State and is based on information in publicly available documents as of the date of this SAI. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the State or its issuers since the date hereof. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the State's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected State financial situation, which in turn could hamper the fund's performance.</R>

<R>According to 2000 Census reports, Maryland's population in that year was 5,296,486, reflecting an increase of 10.8% from the 1990 Census. Maryland's population is concentrated in urban areas; the eleven counties and Baltimore City located in the Baltimore and Washington Corridor contain 50.1% of the State's land area and 86.9% of its population. The 2008 population for the Baltimore Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area was 2,667,117 and for the Maryland portion of the Washington Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, 2,226,715. Overall Maryland's population per square mile in 2008 was 572.</R>

<R>Per capita personal income growth in Maryland has outpaced the national average during four of the past five years (with the exception of 2006). Per capita personal income in Maryland grew at rates of between 2.4% and 7.8% during the past ten year period. In addition, per capita personal income in Maryland in 2008 was just under 21% higher than the national average. Unemployment in Maryland peaked in the period discussed above at a rate of 4.5% in 2002 and 2003. Unemployment has risen dramatically nationwide during the current economic recession, and Maryland has not been immune to its effects. In June of 2009 the unemployment rate in Maryland spiked to 7.3%, while the national rate rose to 9.5%. In August, Maryland saw and slight decrease in unemployment to 7.2%, while the national rate continued to climb to 9.7%.</R>

<R>Taxable retail sales in Maryland increased at rates between 0.8% and 9.4% in the years 1998 through 2007. Retail sales in Maryland grew by 5.6% and 5.8% in 2005 and 2006, inched forward at a rate of 0.8% in 2007 and shrank by 3% in 2008. Residential construction in Maryland, as it has in the nation as a whole, has dropped precipitously from 2006 through 2008, and home sales, both new construction and existing homes, have dropped dramatically during this period. Notwithstanding this drop in home sales, and concomitant drop in home sales prices, the total assessed value of real property in Maryland has increased by at least 13.6% in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008. Given the state of the Maryland housing market, however, the rate of growth in the aggregate assessed value of Maryland real property should be expected to substantially slow. Counties and the city of Baltimore rely heavily on real property tax revenues to support general fund expenditures. This expected leveling off in tax revenues may have a negative impact on Maryland County and City of Baltimore budgetary results in fiscal year 2009 and beyond.</R>

<R>Services, trade, transportation and utilities, and government are the leading areas of employment in the State of Maryland. In contrast to the nation as a whole, considerably more people are employed in government and professional, business, educational and health services (48.9% in Maryland versus 43.29% in the U.S. as a whole) than in manufacturing (4.9% in Maryland versus 9.8% in the U.S. as a whole).</R>

<R>On April 5, 2008, the General Assembly approved the budget for fiscal year 2009. The 2009 Budget included $5.96 billion in aid to local governments. Subsequent to the 2009 Budget's enactment, Maryland revenue estimates for its General Fund in fiscal year 2009 declined by approximately $1.3 billion. In order to offset this shortfall the Governor proposed, and the Board of Public Works approved, expenditure cuts in excess of $364 million. Further, the General Assembly enacted the Budget Reconciliation and financing Act of 2009 (the "Act"), under which close to $800 million was transferred from other State funds and reserves into the General Fund, including $170 million from the Revenue Stabilization Account of the State's Reserve Fund (as described below). General Fund appropriations were also cut under the Act. Following these actions, the undesignated general fund balance on a budgetary basis at fiscal year-end 2009 was estimated to be $437.1 million. The fiscal year end balance in the Revenue Stabilization of the State Reserve Fund (the "Rainy Day Fund" established in 1986 to retain State revenues for future needs and to reduce the need for future tax increases) was estimated to be $692.1 million, equal to approximately 5.2% of estimated general fund revenues.</R>

<R>On April 13, 2009, the General Assembly approved the budget for fiscal year 2010. The 2010 Budget includes $5.75 billion in aid to local governments and reflects full funding of mandatory public school enhancements approved in an earlier Session of the General Assembly. It was estimated that the General Fund balance on a budgetary basis at the end of fiscal year 2010 would be $87.9 million.</R>

<R>Maryland General Fund revenues have continued to decline throughout 2009. Early fiscal year 2010 revenue estimates already show a shortfall of $683 million versus original estimates. Maryland's Budget Secretary has proposed additional expenditure cuts of nearly $300 million to close the gap in this fiscal year. Based on current estimates, the looming General Fund shortfall for fiscal year 2011 is now approaching $2 billion. Federal stimulus funds have or will add a total of $2.3 billion to the General Fund in fiscal years 2009-2011. Despite this inflow of funding, dramatic revenue losses have still resulted in General Fund budget shortfall in each of these fiscal years. When federal stimulus funds are no longer available, Maryland will need to find revenue enhancements or reduce spending even further.</R>

<R>The State of Maryland and its various political subdivisions issue a number of different kinds of municipal obligations, including general obligation bonds, supported by tax collections, revenue bonds payable from certain identified tax levies or revenue streams, conduit revenue bonds payable from the repayment of certain loans to authorized entities such as hospitals and universities, and certificates of participation in tax-exempt municipal leases.</R>

<R>The State of Maryland issues general obligation bonds, which are payable from ad valorem property taxes. The State Constitution prohibits the contracting of State debt unless the debt is authorized by law levying an annual tax or taxes sufficient to pay the debt service within 15 years and prohibiting the repeal of the tax or taxes or their use for another purpose until the debt has been paid. The State also enters into lease-purchase agreements, in which participation interests are often sold publicly as individual securities.</R>

<R>As of August 2009, the State's general obligation bonds were rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), "AAA" by Standard and Poor's (S&P), and "AAA" by Fitch Investors Service, L.P. (Fitch).</R>

<R>The Maryland Department of Transportation issues Consolidated Transportation Bonds, which are payable out of specific excise taxes, motor vehicle taxes, and corporate income taxes, and from the general revenues of the Department issued to finance highway, port, transit, rail or aviation facilities. Recently, these bonds were rated "Aa2" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P, and "AA" by Fitch. The Maryland Transportation Authority, a unit of the Department, issues its own revenue bonds for transportation facilities, which are payable from certain highway, bridge and tunnel tolls. These bonds were rated "Aa3" by Moody's, "AA-" by S&P, and "AA-" by Fitch recently.</R>

<R>Other State agencies which issue municipal obligations include the Maryland Stadium Authority, which has issued bonds payable from sports facility lease revenues and certain lottery revenues, the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration, which issues bonds to provide loans to local governments for wastewater control projects, the Community Development Administration of the Department of Housing and Community Development, which issues mortgage revenues bonds for housing, the Maryland Environmental Service, which issues bonds secured by the revenues from its various water supply, wastewater treatment and waste management projects, and the various public institutions of higher education in Maryland (that include the University of Maryland System, Morgan State University, and St. Mary's College of Maryland) which issue their own revenue bonds. None of these bonds constitute debts or pledges of the full faith and credit of the State of Maryland. The issuers of these obligations are subject to various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the securities issued by them may vary considerably from the quality of obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.</R>

<R>In addition, the Maryland Health and Higher Educational Facilities Authority and the Maryland Industrial Development Financing Authority as well as other State authorities issue conduit revenue bonds, the proceeds of which are lent to borrowers eligible under relevant state and federal law. These bonds are payable solely from the loan payments made by borrowers, and their credit quality varies with the financial strengths of the respective borrowers.</R>

<R>Maryland has 24 geographical subdivisions, composed of 23 counties plus the independent City of Baltimore, which functions much like a county. Some of the counties and the City of Baltimore operate pursuant to the provisions of codes of their own adoption, while others operate pursuant to State-approved charters and State statutes. The economic factors affecting the State, as discussed above, also, to varying degrees, have affected the counties and the City of Baltimore.</R>

<R>According to recent available ratings, general obligation bonds on Montgomery County (abutting Washington, D.C.) are rated "Aaa" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P and "AAA" by Fitch. Prince George's County, also in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, issues general obligation bonds rated "Aa1" by Moody's, "AA+" by S&P and "AA+" by Fitch while Baltimore County, a separate political subdivision surrounding the City of Baltimore, issues general obligations bonds rated "Aaa" by Moody's and "AAA" by S&P and Fitch. The other counties in Maryland, as well as the City of Baltimore, all have general obligation bond ratings of "A" or better (from any of the three before mentioned rating agencies, that rate their general obligation debt), except for Allegany County, the bonds of which are rated "Baa1" by Moody's and "A-" by S&P. The Washington Suburban Sanitary District, a bi-county agency providing water and sewerage services to Montgomery and Prince George's counties, issues general obligation bonds rated "Aaa" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P and "AAA" by Fitch. Additionally, some of the large municipal corporations in Maryland (such as the cities of Rockville and Annapolis) have issued general obligation bonds. There can be no assurance that these ratings will continue.</R>

<R>Many of Maryland's counties have established subsidiary agencies with bond issuing powers, such as housing authorities, parking revenue authorities, and industrial development authorities. In addition, all Maryland municipalities have the authority under State law to issue conduit revenue bonds. These entities are subject to various economic risks and uncertainties and the credit quality of the securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.</R>

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO</R>

<R>The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies, and instrumentalities, as available on the date of this SAI. The information contained in such official statements, prospectuses, and other publicly available documents has not been independently verified.</R>

<R>Relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States</R>

<R>The United States (U.S.) and Puerto Rico share a common defense, market, and currency. The Commonwealth exercises virtually the same control over its internal affairs as do the 50 states. It differs from the states, however, in its relationship with the federal government. The people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the U.S. but do not vote in national elections. They are represented in Congress by a Resident Commissioner who has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote. Most federal taxes, except those such as Social Security taxes that are imposed by mutual consent, are not levied in Puerto Rico. No federal income tax is collected from Puerto Rico residents on income earned in Puerto Rico, except for certain federal employees who are subject to taxes on their salaries. The official languages of Puerto Rico are Spanish and English.</R>

<R>Government Structure</R>

<R>The Constitution of the Commonwealth provides for the separation of powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. The Governor is elected every four years. The Legislative Assembly consists of a Senate and a House of Representatives, the members of which are elected for four-year terms. The highest court within the local jurisdiction is the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico constitutes a District in the Federal Judiciary and has its own U.S. District Court. Decisions of this court may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and from there to the Supreme Court of the U.S.</R>

<R>Governmental responsibilities assumed by the central government of the Commonwealth are similar in nature to those of the various state governments. In addition, the central government assumes responsibility for local police and fire protection, education, public health and welfare programs, and economic development.</R>

<R>Principal Officials Responsible for Fiscal Matters</R>

<R>Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico on January 2, 2005. He is a graduate of the University of Puerto Rico, where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in political science and a Juris Doctor degree. He obtained an L.L.M from Harvard Law School and served as law clerk for Puerto Rico Supreme Court Judge Federico Hernández Denton and for U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Levin Campbell. He also served in the public sector as legislative advisor to the Governor of Puerto Rico. From 1993 to 2001, he served as an elected member of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives. From 2001 until assuming his position as Governor, he served as the elected Resident Commissioner of the Commonwealth in the U.S. House of Representatives.</R>

<R>Ángel Ortíz García was named Acting Secretary of the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury (Treasury) on May 30, 2008. He is a certified public accountant and a lawyer. He graduated from the University of Puerto Rico, where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in accounting and a Juris Doctor degree. From March until May 2008, Mr. Ortíz served as Assistant Secretary of Internal Revenue at the Treasury. From April 2005 until March 2008, Mr. Ortíz was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Prior to working for the Commonwealth from May 2001 until April 2005, Mr. Ortíz was Senior Treasurer of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals LLC. Prior to 2001, he worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers.</R>

<R>Armando A. Valdez was appointed Executive Director of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Office of Management and Budget in January 2008. Before that he served as Advisor to the Governor from January 2005 to December 2007, as Executive Director of the Incoming Transition Committee from November 2004 to December 2004, and as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs to the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration from June 2001 to December 2003. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture from Yale University and a Masters Degree in Government (thesis pending) from John Hopkins University.</R>

<R>Jorge Irizarry Herráns was appointed President of Government Development Bank (GDB) on December 4, 2007. Mr. Irizarry served as Executive Vice President and Director of Financing of GDB from 2005 until his appointment as Acting President, and has over 30 years of experience in banking, investments and consulting, which he acquired while working at Chase Manhattan, Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., Banco Mercantil, Banco de Ponce, PaineWebber, Inc., and Sandoval Associates. Mr. Irizarry has a Bachelor's degree in finance from New York University and holds a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Harvard Business School.</R>

<R>Recent Developments</R>

<R>In March 2008, Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá and several other individuals were named in federal grand jury indictments relating to the use of political contributions and campaign funds during the period when the Governor was Resident Commissioner in Washington, D.C. In addition, on August 19, 2008, the Governor and other individuals were named in federal grand jury indictments relating to the use of political contributions and campaign funds during the Governor's campaign and after his election as Governor. The Governor has denied any wrongdoing and stated his intention to remain in his position and present his defense. It is not expected that such developments will have any impact on the fiscal affairs of the Commonwealth or on the payment of any obligation issued by the Commonwealth.</R>

<R>The Economy of Puerto Rico</R>

<R>The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked to the U.S. economy, as most of the external factors that affect the Puerto Rico economy (other than the price of oil) are determined by the policies and performance of the mainland economy. These external factors include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures. During fiscal year 2007 (from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007) approximately 77% of Puerto Rico's exports went to the U.S. mainland, which was also the source of approximately 50% of Puerto Rico's imports.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico's economy has expanded, on average, for more than two decades. Virtually every sector of the economy has participated in this expansion, and record levels of employment have been achieved. Factors contributing to this expansion include government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, and the relatively low cost of borrowing. In some years, these factors were aided by a significant expansion in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects, private investment (primarily in housing), and relatively low oil prices. During fiscal year 2007, real gross national product decreased by 1.8%. This contraction continued into fiscal year 2008. The Puerto Rico Planning Board (Planning Board) expects a reduction of 2.1% of real gross national product for fiscal year 2008 and a recovery of 2.1% for fiscal year 2009. It is likely, given the continuing economic weakness in certain key economic variables, including employment and economic output, that the Planning Board will lower its prediction of economic growth for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.</R>

<R>Personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently each fiscal year from 1985 to 2007. In fiscal year 2007, aggregate personal income was $53.1 billion ($44.4 billion in 2000 prices) and personal per capita income was $13,491 ($11,279 in 2000 prices). Personal income includes transfer payments to individuals in Puerto Rico under various social programs. Total federal payments to Puerto Rico, which amount to around $12 billion annually and include transfers to local government entities and expenditures of federal agencies in Puerto Rico, in addition to federal transfer payments to individuals, are lower on a per capita basis in Puerto Rico than in any state of the U.S. Eighty-two percent (82%) of the transfer payments to individuals in fiscal year 2007 ($8.9 billion), represented entitlements for previously performed services or resulting from contributions to programs such as Social Security, Veterans' Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions. Grants represent the remainder of the federal transfers to individuals, mostly concentrated in the Nutritional Assistance Program (Food Stamps) and Pell Grant (higher education) Scholarships.</R>

<R>Forecast for Fiscal Year 2008. The current real gross national product forecast from the Planning Board for fiscal year 2008, which was released in March 2008, projected a decline of 2.1% in constant dollars, or an increase of 3.4% in current dollars. Personal income is expected to increase by 0.8% in real terms, or 4.3% in nominal terms. The Planning Board expects real growth to return in fiscal year 2009 at 2.1% in constant dollars, or 7.1% in current dollars. It is likely, given the continuing economic weakness in certain key economic variables, including employment and economic output that the Planning Board will lower its prediction of economic growth for fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The major factors affecting the economy at this point are, among others, the still relatively high oil prices, the slowdown of the U.S. economic activity and the continuing economic uncertainty generated by the Commonwealth's fiscal crisis. These factors and the effects on economic activity of the implementation of the sales tax are persuading consumers to adjust their behavior to the new economic conditions.</R>

<R>According to the Department of Labor and Human Resources Household Employment Survey (Household Survey), total employment for fiscal year 2008 averaged 1,217,500, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 1,262,900 for fiscal year 2007. At the same time, the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2008 was 11.0%, an increase from 10.4% for fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2007. The Planning Board's preliminary reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy for fiscal year 2007 indicate that real gross national product decreased 1.8% (3.5% in current dollars) over fiscal year 2006. Nominal gross national product was $58.7 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($44.3 billion in 2000 prices), compared to $56.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($45.1 billion in 2000 prices). Aggregate personal income increased from $51.1 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($44.0 billion in 2000 prices) to $53.9 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($44.4 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita increased from $13,033 in fiscal year 2006 ($11,229 in 2000 prices), to $13,491 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,279 in 2000 prices).</R>

<R>According to the Household Survey, total employment for fiscal year 2007 averaged 1,262,900, an increase of 0.8% compared to 1,253,400 for fiscal year 2006. The driving force behind total employment is self-employment. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2007 was 10.4%, a decrease from 11.7% for fiscal year 2006. As in the past, the economy of Puerto Rico followed the general performance and trends of the U.S. economy, although at a lower rate of growth.</R>

<R>Among the variables contributing to the Planning Board's downward revision in the forecast were the current effect of persistent high levels of oil prices, and the current slowdown of the U.S. economy. Moreover, the continuing weakness of local construction investment has aggravated the current situation. The persistent high level of the price of oil and its derivatives (such as gasoline) has served to reduce the income available for other purchases and, thereby, negatively affected domestic demand. Due to the Commonwealth's dependence on oil for power generation and gasoline in spite of its recent improvements in power production diversification, the high level of oil prices is expected to account for an increased outflow of local income in fiscal year 2008. The current financial difficulties associated with the subprime mortgage crisis have resulted in lowering of short-term interest rates. This could help alleviate the situation of the construction sector, which historically has been a major contributor to economic growth. The implementation of the tax reform legislation discussed below may reduce net disposable income even after giving effect to certain income tax reductions provided in the tax reform legislation.</R>

<R>Economic Performance by Sector</R>

<R>The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy are manufacturing and services, which from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2007 generated the largest portion of gross domestic product. The three sectors of the economy that provide the most employment are manufacturing, services, and government. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher-wage, high-technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, computers, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high-technology machinery and equipment. The services sector, including finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism, also plays a major role in the economy. It ranks second to manufacturing in contribution to the gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment.</R>

<R>Manufacturing. Manufacturing is the largest sector of the Puerto Rico economy in terms of gross domestic product. The Planning Board figures show that in fiscal year 2007 manufacturing generated $36.7 billion, or 40.9%, of gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2008, payroll employment for the manufacturing sector was 103,900, a decrease of 3.6% compared with fiscal year 2007. Most of the island's manufacturing output is shipped to the U.S. mainland, which is also the principal source of semi-finished manufactured articles on which further manufacturing operations are performed in Puerto Rico. The U.S. minimum wage laws are applicable in Puerto Rico. For fiscal year 2008, the average hourly manufacturing wage rate in Puerto Rico was approximately 68.5% of the average mainland U.S. rate.</R>

<R>Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during the earlier phases of its industrial development and includes several industries less prone to business cycles. In the last three decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift in emphasis is best exemplified by large investments over the last decade in the pharmaceutical, scientific instruments, computers and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico. One of the factors encouraging the development of the manufacturing sector has been the tax incentives offered by the federal and Puerto Rico governments. Federal legislation enacted in 1996, however, which amended Section 936 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (U.S. Code), phased out the federal tax incentives during a ten-year period that recently ended. This change has had a long-term impact on local manufacturing activity.</R>

<R>Total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 14,509 from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2008. Manufacturing employment had been declining during the past decade, but the decline accelerated during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, falling 10.6% and 4.8%, respectively. After that, manufacturing employment seemed to stabilize at around 118,000 jobs, but the deceleration reappeared in fiscal year 2006 with the sector experiencing another significant drop of 4.0%. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, manufacturing employment decreased by 4.3% and 3.6%, respectively. During fiscal year 2008 the manufacturing sector lost around 3,800 jobs. There are several reasons that explain this sector's job shrinkage: the end of the phase-out of Section 936, the net loss of patents on certain pharmaceutical products, the escalation of manufacturing production costs (particularly labor and electricity), and the increased use of job outsourcing. Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector is facing increased international competition, and new ideas and initiatives are necessary to improve this sector.</R>

<R>Services. Puerto Rico has experienced significant growth in the services sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, tourism and other services, in terms of both income and employment over the past decade, showing a favorable trend as compared with certain other industrialized economies. During the period between fiscal years 2003 and 2007, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 1.7%. In the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 17% of total employment according to the Household Survey. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the service and construction sectors. The development of the services sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, construction and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base.</R>

<R>The services sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and it is the sector with the greatest employment. In fiscal year 2007, services generated $35.9 billion of gross domestic product, or 40% of the total. Services employment grew from 523,691 in fiscal year 2003 to 562,949 in fiscal year 2007 (representing 54.5% of total, non-farm, payroll employment). This represents a cumulative increase of 7.5% during such period. Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance and real estate experienced significant growth in fiscal years 2003 to 2007, as measured by gross domestic product. From fiscal year 2003 to 2007, gross domestic product increased in wholesale and retail trade from $9.2 billion to $11.1 billion, and in finance, insurance, and real estate from $12.5 billion to $16.3 billion. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico. Total assets of these institutions as of December 31, 2007 were $113.9 billion. As of December 31, 2007, there were approximately thirty-five international banking entities operating in Puerto Rico licensed to conduct offshore banking transactions, with total assets of $75.8 billion.</R>

<R>Government. The government sector of Puerto Rico plays an important role in the economy. In fiscal year 2007, the government accounted for $8.6 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 9.6% of the total. The government is also a significant employer, providing jobs for 281,300 workers, or 27.6% of total, non-farm, payroll employment in fiscal year 2008. This total includes municipal employees. From fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2008, Commonwealth and municipal government employment has been reduced by approximately 11,700 positions.</R>

<R>On February 25, 1998, legislation was enacted permitting the unionization of employees of the central government (excluding municipal employees). Under this law, government employees are given collective bargaining rights subject to a number of limitations. Among those limitations are: employees are prohibited from striking; salary increases are contingent on the availability of budgeted revenues; employees cannot be required to become union members and pay union dues; and collective bargaining negotiations cannot occur in an election year. During the current administration, of 100 collective bargaining agreements to be negotiated, 99 have been signed, of which 89 include economic terms.</R>

<R>Tourism. During fiscal year 2007, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels, including residents of Puerto Rico and tourists, was 1,798,400, a decrease of 6.5% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2006. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2007 was 71.5%, compared to 70.8% in fiscal year 2006. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels decreased 6.4% from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007 as the completion of regular maintenance and rehabilitation of rooms (that normally results in a certain number of rooms being unavailable at any time) took longer to complete than in the past.</R>

<R>The number of persons registered in tourist hotels during the first eleven months of fiscal year 2008, was 1,576,900, a decrease of 12.3% over the number of persons registered during the same period of fiscal year 2007. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during the first eleven months of fiscal year 2008 was 69.7% compared to 71.3% in the period of fiscal year 2007. During the first eleven months of fiscal year 2008, the average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased 2.3% compared with the same period in fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>San Juan is the largest homeport for cruise ships in the Caribbean and one of the largest homeports for cruise ships in the world.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth, through the Convention Center District Authority, has completed the development of the largest convention center in the Caribbean, and the centerpiece of a 100-acre private development, including hotels, restaurants, cinemas, office space and housing. The convention center district is being developed at a total cost of $1.3 billion to improve Puerto Rico's competitive position in the convention and group travel segments. The convention center opened on November 17, 2005.</R>

<R>The Convention Center District Authority also owns a multi-purpose coliseum located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The coliseum, known as the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, was inaugurated in 2004 and has been host to various successful artistic and other events.</R>

<R>Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is currently served by 25 U.S. and international airlines. At present, there is daily direct service between San Juan and Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and numerous other destinations within the U.S. There is also regularly scheduled service between Aguadilla and Ponce and New York and between Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands and certain Latin American and European cities. A major U.S. airline uses San Juan as a hub for its intra-Caribbean airline service. Several smaller airports serve intra-island traffic.</R>

<R>The island's major cities are connected by a modern highway system, which, as of December 31, 2007, totaled approximately 4,625 miles of highways and local streets and adjacent roads. The highway system comprises 387 miles of primary system highways, which are the more important interregional traffic routes and include PR-52, PR-22, PR-53 and PR-20 toll highways, 230 miles of primary urban system highways, 959 miles of secondary system highways serving the needs of intra-regional traffic and 3,051 miles of tertiary highways and roads serving local, intra-regional traffic.</R>

<R>The Port of the Americas Authority (PAA) is responsible for the development and operation of the Port of the Americas, a deep draft port on the south coast of Puerto Rico. The first phase of the Port of the Americas was completed in fiscal year 2004. This initial phase included the improvement of piers 4, 5, and 6 of the Port and the acquisition of heavy equipment at a cost of $40 million. During calendar year 2005, the PAA began the second phase of the Port which is expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2008. Completion of this second phase will provide capacity to handle up to 250,000 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEU). This second phase includes (i) dredging the entrance channel and adjacent areas of the Port to a depth of 50 feet; (ii) reconstructing the container terminals; (iii) commencing certain required environmental risk mitigation procedures; and (iv) preparing final construction schematics. With respect to these tasks, dredging is completed, the final design contract has been awarded, acquisition of environmental risk mitigation land is underway, and the contract for reconstruction of the container terminal was awarded in April 2006. The Port is expected to be capable of providing capacity for up to 700,000 TEUs when the third phase is completed.</R>

<R>As of July 30, 2008, PAA had an outstanding balance of $112.4 million under various lines of credit from the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB). PAA is authorized to borrow up to $250 million under these lines of credit. This debt is payable from annual legislative appropriations until the PAA starts generating revenues sufficient to cover debt service and is also guaranteed by the Commonwealth. Currently, the Port handles over 650,000 TEUs of breakbulk and a container terminal should be operational by the end of fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Public investment has been an important component of construction investment. During fiscal year 2007, approximately 43.4% of the total investment in construction was related to public projects. For fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006, the total value of construction permits decreased 22.2% and total sales of cement, including imports, decreased 8.2%. Average payroll employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2007 was 66,700, a reduction of 1.0% from fiscal year 2006. Cement sales (including imports) fell by 10.7% during fiscal year 2008, the largest decline during the last decade.</R>

<R>Total construction investment for fiscal year 2007 decreased (in real terms) by 6.3% (following a 10.4% real decline in fiscal year 2006) due principally to the drop in construction-related public projects. The Planning Board estimated construction investment decreases (in real terms) of 5.3% during fiscal year 2008 and stagnation (0% real growth) during fiscal year 2009. Public investment will be primarily in housing, new schools (and school reconstruction programs), water projects, and other public infrastructure projects. Public investment in construction has been negatively affected by the Commonwealth's fiscal difficulties.</R>

<R>During the first eleven months of fiscal year 2008, the number of construction permits decreased 13.8%, while total value of construction permits increased 16.5% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and the quality of produce, and stimulating the consumption of locally produced agricultural products. During fiscal year 2007, gross income from agriculture was $814.2 million, an increase of 1.6% compared with fiscal year 2006. Agriculture gross income consists of the total value of production in the principal agricultural sectors, which include traditional crops, livestock and poultry, grains, vegetables, fruits, ornamental plants, and other products. During fiscal year 2007, starchy vegetables, coffee, livestock products and ornamental plants contributed a higher percentage of the sector's income than in the previous fiscal year.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth supports agricultural activities through incentives, subsidies, and technical and support services, in addition to income tax exemptions for qualified income derived by bona fide farmers. Act No. 225 of 1995 provides a 90% income tax exemption for income derived from agricultural operations, an investment tax credit equal to 50% of the investment in qualified agricultural projects, and a 100% exemption from excise taxes, real and personal property taxes, municipal license taxes and tariff payments. It also provides full income tax exemption for interest income from bonds, notes and other debt instruments issued by financial institutions to provide financing to agricultural businesses. Subsequent legislation imposed an aggregate annual limit of $15 million on the investment tax credits available under Act No. 225.</R>

<R>Economic Development Program</R>

<R>The Commonwealth's economic development program is now focused on initiatives aimed at producing more diversified and sustainable economic development. The six principal elements of these initiatives, as expressed in the Governor's Economic Development and Government Transformation Plan for Puerto Rico, are: (i) developing world-class infrastructure, while encouraging private investment with innovative financial models and agile, effective evaluation processes; (ii) accelerating Puerto Rico's entry into the knowledge economy by creating a center of excellence in biotechnology, engineering and computing; (iii) promoting local enterprise and supporting local businesses (in Spanish, Apoyo al de Aquí) by providing innovative financing alternatives and access to domestic and foreign markets; (iv) transforming the tourist industry into a vehicle for Puerto Rico's economic development; (v) diversifying energy-generating sources to reduce dependence on petroleum by half; and (vi) transforming Puerto Rico's government, without the need for layoffs or privatization, through effective agency consolidation and decentralization functions to offer first-class services to all citizens in a sensible, effective and agile manner that contributes to Puerto Rico's socio-economic development.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth has formulated a strategic plan to increase its competitiveness in knowledge-based economic sectors, such as research and development of science and technology products. Four major components of this strategic plan are: (i) building on the strong presence in Puerto Rico of multinational companies in the science and technology sectors; (ii) building on Puerto Rico's skilled workforce to promote the expansion of research and development facilities by companies currently operating in Puerto Rico; (iii) attracting new companies in such sectors; and (iv) providing incentives for companies and entrepreneurs to engage in the process of innovation and commercialization of new products and to establish research and development facilities in Puerto Rico. The last initiative includes the creation of the Puerto Rico Science & Technology Trust, a government-sponsored trust (currently capitalized at $4.9 million and expected to grow to $25 million in three years), that will provide grants and financing to companies, entrepreneurs, and universities that engage in these activities. As part of this plan, construction has begun on a biotechnology plant in Mayagüez and a molecular sciences building on the main campus of the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras. Additionally, the Department of Transportation has transferred land to the University of Puerto Rico for the construction of a cancer center.</R>

<R>As part of this strategic plan, the Commonwealth is actively pursuing local participation in the aerospace industry, including engineering design services and the outsourcing of business activities. Also, recently Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO) began a program to improve local entrepreneurial capacity by evaluating local businesses with worldwide best practices, and the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico (EDB) started a new venture capital program offering financing to entrepreneurs that present projects with great potential for commercialization.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth is also providing incentives to promote the establishment of distribution and call centers, the acquisition and development of patents, and the development of a local entrepreneurial class. Distribution and call centers located in the Commonwealth will benefit from a preferential tax rate of 4% for call centers located in Puerto Rico if they offer services to Latin America and 2% if they offer hemisphere or worldwide services. The Commonwealth has decided to focus on this type of industry because it is labor intensive, presents no environmental concerns, and is generally able to start operations quickly. Over two dozen call centers have recently been established with employment of over 2,500 persons.</R>

<R>With respect to the acquisition and development of patents, under newly enacted legislation, the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Department of the Treasury (Treasury) may (i) negotiate the payment of taxes on patent royalties; and (ii) reduce the tax rate on patent royalties to a rate as low as 2%. These incentives are in addition to those already enacted for research and development carried out in the Commonwealth. To further develop a local entrepreneurial class, the Commonwealth has enacted legislation providing local entrepreneurs with the following benefits: (i) tax incentives to retailers that use their distribution channels to sell products made in Puerto Rico in other jurisdictions; (ii) requiring at least 15% of products and services purchased by government agencies to be locally manufactured or provided; and (iii) the use of government-sponsored financing, marketing and/or training to promote the production of economically feasible products or services for Puerto Rico markets.</R>

<R>In this regard, the Commonwealth enacted legislation extending certain benefits of its most recent tax incentive law, Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997, as amended (1998 Tax Incentives Act), to all eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws. These incentives were initially scheduled to be available until December 31, 2007, but were extended until June of 2008 (although tax incentive concessions granted thereunder will continue to be in effect until their respective dates of expiration). On May 28, 2008 the Commonwealth enacted a new tax incentives law, Act No. 73 (Economic Incentives Act).</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act streamlines the process for obtaining tax incentives and provides recipients with certainty as to the amount of benefits they will receive over time. The Economic Incentive Act expands the definition of manufacturing to include cluster and supply chain concepts, addresses issues of cost competitiveness, and simplifies the applicable rules. The tax structure established by the Economic Incentives Act generally has a 4% income tax rate and a 12% withholding tax on royalties. For existing businesses with tax rates between 2% and 4%, the Secretary of Economic Development has the discretion to grant the same tax benefits if doing so is considered to be in the best interests of Puerto Rico's economy. Income tax rates may be reduced by an additional 0.5% for projects located in low- or mid-economic development areas. Additional exceptions to the general tax structure exist for pioneering activities, local firms and small businesses. Pioneering activities may have a 1% income tax rate, or no income taxes if the research and development activity is located completely within Puerto Rico. For local firms, the tax rate is 3%, and for small businesses the tax rate is 1%.</R>

<R>A variety of credits are available under the Economic Incentives Act, including: for the purchase of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; for job creation; for investment in research and development; for investment in energy generation equipment; to reduce the cost of energy; to transfer technology; and for investors who acquire exempt operations in the process of shutting down. There are also investment credits for projects classified as strategic projects. Some of these credits can be carried forward and others can be sold.</R>

<R>In December 2006, two laws were approved that provide additional tax incentives to foster economic development in Puerto Rico. Act No. 289 of December 26, 2006 amended the 1994 Puerto Rico tax code in order to facilitate the creation of local Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). A REIT is a corporation, usually publicly traded, that manages a portfolio of real estate to earn profits for shareholders. Under Act No. 289, a special tax rate of 10% applies to the income from this type of investment. The creation of REITs is expected to encourage investment in residential, commercial, and industrial properties and hotels, and will contribute to the development of a local capital market.</R>

<R>Act No. 287 of December 26, 2006 created a new financing conduit for PRIDCO-sponsored economic development activity, to be known as the Puerto Rico Investment Development Initiative. The interest paid on debt securities issued by companies operating under the Puerto Rico Industrial Incentives Act of 1998 is exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes for bona fide residents of Puerto Rico and local corporations. The proceeds of such debt can be used for general business purposes, such as raw materials and machinery acquisition, construction, general business expenses, intellectual property and research and development, among others, but 80% of the proceeds must be used within Puerto Rico by the benefited company.</R>

<R>Reduction of the Costs of Doing Business. The Commonwealth believes that to make Puerto Rico more competitive and foster investment it needs to reduce the cost of doing business in Puerto Rico. In order to accomplish this, the Commonwealth proposes to (i) promote the creation of more cogeneration power plants to diversify energy fuel sources and reduce oil imports for electric power generation; (ii) streamline the permitting process to accelerate and reduce the cost of investment in Puerto Rico; and (iii) create a multi-agency task force to expedite critical projects. The Commonwealth has also implemented additional initiatives to restructure certain government agencies in order to improve the services offered by these agencies and provide such services in a more efficient manner. Both PRIDCO and the Puerto Rico Tourism Company have completed restructurings resulting in their being able to respond more quickly to the needs of their constituents while shedding over 500 employment positions.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth is in the process of diversifying its energy fuel sources. Two cogeneration power plants, one of which is fueled by coal and the other by liquefied natural gas, have reduced Puerto Rico's dependence on oil imports for the generation of electricity by approximately 25%, from 99% to 74%. Currently, as part of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority's capital improvement plan, the Authority is considering building an additional cogeneration power plant fueled by liquefied natural gas in the municipality of Mayagüez.</R>

<R>The Department of Economic Development and Commerce initiated a reengineering of the Commonwealth's investment project evaluation process in which all branches of the Commonwealth government participated. The first phase, completed in December 2006, evaluated and developed the model. Currently, the project is in second phase, which consists of testing a virtual permitting system in 15 municipalities. Simultaneously, a group of participants are reviewing the laws, bylaws and management of each agency to streamline the evaluation process.</R>

<R>Federal Tax Incentives. In connection with the phase-out of Sections 30A and 936 of the U.S. Code, the U.S. Senate requested the Joint Commission on Taxation (JCT) and the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study the economic impact of such phase-out and present recommendations on alternative tax incentives for U.S.-based companies operating in Puerto Rico. In anticipation of the final phase-out of Sections 30A and 936 of the U.S. Code, most U.S.-based companies operating under Sections 30A and 936 of the U.S. Code have converted from U.S. corporations to Controlled Foreign Corporations (CFCs), thus lessening the impact of the phase-out of those sections on their operations.</R>

<R>In May 2006, the GAO published its study entitled "Fiscal Relations with the Federal Government and Economic Trends during the Phaseout of the Possessions Tax Credit." The GAO study found that Puerto Rico's per capita gross domestic product and gross national product were significantly lower compared to U.S. averages, and that the absolute gap between the per capita gross national product of Puerto Rico residents and that of U.S. residents has increased. The GAO study further found that, although the value-added by U.S. companies claiming the possessions tax credit decreased by about two-thirds during the period from 1993-2003, much of the decline was offset by growth in other corporations, such as pharmaceuticals. Finally, the GAO study determined that although residents of Puerto Rico pay considerably less total tax per capita than residents of the U.S., they pay approximately the same percentage of their personal income in taxes. The GAO study, which is informative in nature, is intended to help the U.S. Congress decide which economic development initiatives will best suit Puerto Rico's current situation.</R>

<R>In June 2006, the JCT published a pamphlet entitled "An Overview of the Special Tax Rules related to Puerto Rico and an Analysis of the Tax and Economic Policy Implications of Recent Legislative Options" (JCT Report). The JCT Report provides an overview of the tax and non-tax rules applicable to U.S. possessions, the special tax rules applicable to Puerto Rico, and an economic analysis of such special tax rules. The JCT Report also presents certain legislative options and specific proposals that have been advocated by various parties in order to stimulate economic growth in Puerto Rico. Although these legislative options and specific proposals are not recommendations, the JCT Report does state that federal and Commonwealth tax policy must be coordinated in order to design and implement new tax policies aimed at enhancing development in Puerto Rico by targeting problems unique to Puerto Rico, instead of problems common to the U.S. and Puerto Rico, which policies are likely to induce businesses to relocate from the U.S. to Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth is also seeking the extension of additional sections of the U.S. Code that provide a dividends received deduction for a percentage of profits generated in Puerto Rico by CFCs, as well as deductions that would encourage investments in research and development activities.</R>

<R>Industrial Incentives Program. Since 1948, Puerto Rico has had various industrial incentives laws designed to stimulate industrial investment in the island. Under these laws, which are designed to promote investment in Puerto Rico, companies engaged in manufacturing and certain other designated activities were eligible to receive full or partial exemption from income, property, and other local taxes. The most recent of these industrial incentives laws is the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>The benefits provided by the Economic Incentives Act, like those of the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, are available to new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing tax exemption grant, expand current operations or commence operating a new eligible business. The activities eligible for tax exemption under the Economic Incentives Act include manufacturing, certain designated services performed for markets outside Puerto Rico (including the U.S.), the production of energy from local renewable sources for consumption in Puerto Rico and laboratories for research and development. The Economic Incentives Act expands the definition of manufacturing activity from that included in the 1998 Tax Incentives Act to include clusters and supply chains. Companies qualifying thereunder can benefit from a simplified income tax rate system: in most cases, an income tax rate of 4% and a withholding tax rate of 12%. Alternatively, the income tax rate can be 8% and the withholding rate 2%. Special rates apply to projects located in low and mid-development zones (an income tax reduction of 0.5%), local projects (an income tax rate of 3%), small businesses (an income tax rate of 1%) and pioneering activities (an income tax rate of 1%, but for research and development projects located completely in Puerto Rico the income tax rate may be 0%). In addition, as with the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, the Economic Incentives Act grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption from municipal license taxes during the first three semesters of operations and between 60% and 80% thereafter, and 100% exemption from excise taxes with respect to the acquisition of raw materials and certain machinery and equipment used in the exempt activities.</R>

<R>Under the Economic Incentives Act, as with the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, companies can repatriate or distribute their profits free of Puerto Rico dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico financial institutions, obligations of the Commonwealth, and other designated investments are fully exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual shareholders of an exempted business are allowed a credit against their Puerto Rico income taxes up to 30% of their proportionate share of the exempted business's income tax liability. Gain from the sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders during the exemption period is subject to the same treatment as the eligible business income.</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act, like the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, also provides investors who acquire an exempted business that is in the process of closing its operations in Puerto Rico a 50% credit in connection with the cash purchase of such corporation's stock or assets.</R>

<R>Tourism Incentives Program. For many years, Puerto Rico has also had incentives laws designed to stimulate investment in hotel operations on the island. The most recent of these laws, the Tourism Incentives Act of 1993 (Tourism Incentives Act), provides partial exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to ten years. The Tourism Incentives Act also provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in tourism activities, including hotel and condo-hotel development projects. Recently enacted legislation provides further tourism incentives by granting certain tax exemptions on interest income received from permanent or interim financing of tourism development projects and fees derived from credit enhancements provided to the financing of such projects.</R>

<R>As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the Commonwealth established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of GDB with the authority to (i) make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry and (ii) provide financial guarantees and direct loans for financing hotel development projects. To date, the Tourism Development Fund has provided direct loans and financial guarantees for loans made or bonds issued to finance the development of seventeen hotel projects representing over 3,900 new hotel rooms.</R>

<R>The Tax Reform Act of 1976 created Section 936 of the U.S. Code, which revised the tax treatment of U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico by taxing such corporations on their worldwide income in a manner similar to that applicable to any other U.S. corporation but providing such corporations a full credit for the federal tax on their business and qualified investment income in Puerto Rico. The credit provided an effective 100% federal tax exemption for operating and qualifying investment income from Puerto Rico sources.</R>

<R>As a result of amendments to Section 936 of the U.S. Code made in 1996 (1996 Amendments), its income tax credit based on operating and certain investment income was phased out over a ten-year period for companies that were operating in Puerto Rico in 1995, and is no longer available.</R>

<R>Controlled Foreign Corporations. Because of the modification and phase out of the federal tax incentives under Section 936 of the U.S. Code, many corporations previously operating thereunder reorganized their operations in Puerto Rico to become CFCs. A CFC is a corporation that is organized outside the U.S. and is controlled by U.S. shareholders. In general, a CFC may defer the payment of federal income taxes on its trade or business income until such income is repatriated to the U.S. in the form of dividends or through investments in certain U.S. properties. The Puerto Rico Office of Industrial Tax Exemption has received notification from numerous corporations that have converted part or all of their operations to CFCs. These include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument and electronics companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those applicable to U.S. corporations operating under Section 936 of the U.S. Code (Section 936 Corporations). In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a larger share of this income to their Puerto Rico operation but must make a royalty payment "commensurate with income" to their U.S. affiliates. Section 936 Corporations were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 15% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments.</R>

<R>Recently, the U.S. Congress approved legislation that would extend the benefit of Section 199 of the U.S. Code to production activities that take place in Puerto Rico. Section 199 provides a three-point reduction in the federal income tax rate, phased-in over five years (from 35% to 31.85% after 2009). This extension applies to the U.S. branch activities located on the island and are not CFCs.</R>

<R>Public Sector Debt</R>

<R>Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations ("notes" as used in this section refers to certain types of non-bonded debt regardless of maturity), subject to the exclusions described below.</R>

<R>Section 2 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that direct obligations of the Commonwealth evidenced by full faith and credit bonds or notes shall not be issued if the amount of the principal of and interest on such bonds and notes and on all such bonds and notes theretofore issued which is payable in any fiscal year, together with any amount paid by the Commonwealth in the preceding fiscal year of such proposed issuance on account of bonds or notes guaranteed by the Commonwealth, exceeds 15% of the average annual revenues raised under the provisions of Commonwealth legislation and deposited into the Treasury (hereinafter "internal revenues") in the two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance. Section 2 of Article VI does not limit the amount of debt that the Commonwealth may guarantee so long as the 15% limitation is not exceeded through payments by the Commonwealth on such guaranteed debt. Internal revenues consist principally of income taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes. Certain revenues, such as federal excise taxes on offshore shipments of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products and customs duties, which are collected by the U.S. Government and returned to the Treasury, and motor vehicle fuel taxes and license fees, which are allocated to the Highway and Transportation Authority, are not included as internal revenues for the purpose of calculating the debt limit, although they may be available for the payment of debt service. In addition, the portion of the Sales Tax (as defined under "Tax Reform" below) allocated to the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation is also not included as internal revenues consistent with the legislation creating the Sales Tax Financing Corporation, which legislation provides that such portion is not "available resources" under the Constitutional provisions relating to the Bonds.</R>

<R>All or a portion of the proceeds of certain refunding bonds issued by the Commonwealth were invested in guaranteed investment contracts or federal agency securities (in each case rated in the highest category by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), none of which is eligible to be used for a legal defeasance under Puerto Rico law ("non-eligible investments")). Since bonds refunded with proceeds of non-eligible investments are not legally defeased, such bonds are treated as outstanding for purposes of the 15% debt limitation.</R>

<R>Future maximum annual debt service for the Commonwealth's outstanding general obligation debt is $930,600,143 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 (based on the assumption that the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2004A, which are variable rate bonds, bear interest at their actual rate per annum through July 1, 2012 and thereafter at 12% per annum, and the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2004B, the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2008B, a portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2003C, a portion of the Public Improvement Bonds of 2006, Series A and a portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2007A, each of which are also variable rate bonds, bear interest at 12% per annum). This amount ($930,600,143) is equal to 11.38% of $8,178,090,500, which is the average of the adjusted internal revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008. If bonds refunded with non-eligible investments described in the preceding paragraph were treated as not being outstanding, and the interest on the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2004B, Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2008B, the portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2003C, the portion of the Public Improvement Bonds of 2006, Series A, and the portion of the Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2007A, was calculated using the effective fixed interest rate payable by the Commonwealth under the interest rate exchange agreements entered into in respect thereof, the percentage referred to in the preceding sentence would be 9.39% and future maximum annual debt service for the Commonwealth's outstanding general obligation debt would be $767,794,551 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. Annual debt service payments on the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) guaranteed bonds are not included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. In the event PRASA is unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed bonds, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments under its guarantee from the General Fund, and such debt service would be included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth's policy has been and continues to be to maintain the amount of such debt prudently below the constitutional limitation. Debt of municipalities, other than bond anticipation notes, is supported by real and personal property taxes and municipal license taxes. Debt of public corporations, other than bond anticipation notes, is generally supported by the revenues of such corporations from rates charged for services or products. However, certain debt of public corporations is supported, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes.</R>

<R>Direct debt of the Commonwealth is issued pursuant to specific legislation approved in each particular case. Debt of the municipalities is issued pursuant to resolutions adopted by the respective municipal assemblies. Debt of public corporations is issued in accordance with their enabling statutes. GDB, as fiscal agent of the Commonwealth and its municipalities and public corporations, must approve the specific terms of each issuance.</R>

<R>Ratings of Commonwealth General Obligation Bonds. On July 2, 2008, Moody's confirmed its "Baa3" and "Ba1" rating on the Commonwealth's general obligation debt and its appropriation debt, respectively, and its negative ratings outlook thereon.</R>

<R>On April 24, 2008, S&P confirmed its "BBB-" rating of the Commonwealth's general obligation and appropriation debt, and its stable outlook thereon.</R>

<R>Commonwealth Guaranteed Debt. As of December 31, 2007, $3.09 billion of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of the Public Buildings Authority were outstanding. Maximum annual debt service on these bonds is $236.2 million in fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, with their final maturity being July 1, 2037. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required to date for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2008, $267 million of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of GDB were outstanding. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2008, GDB held approximately $112.4 million of the Port of the Americas Authority's outstanding bonds, which are guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Authority is authorized to issue and GDB is authorized to purchase its bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to continue the development of the Port of the Americas. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2008, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of obligations of PRASA guaranteed by the Commonwealth was $892.6 million. This amount consisted of $284.7 million in revenue bonds sold to the public, $314.6 million in bonds issued to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, and $293.3 million of loans by the State Revolving (Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Act) Funds for the benefit of PRASA. From January 1997 through fiscal year 2005, the Commonwealth made debt service payments under its guaranty. Beginning with the debt service payment due January 1, 2006 the Commonwealth stopped making guarantee payments on these obligations. PRASA has resumed making payment on this debt. In the event PRASA is unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed obligations, the Commonwealth would be required once more to make such payments from the General Fund under its guarantee.</R>

<R>Retirement Systems</R>

<R>Public employees of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: the Employees Retirement System, the Puerto Rico System of Annuities and Pensions for Teachers (Teachers Retirement System), the Commonwealth Judiciary Retirement System (Judiciary Retirement System), the Retirement System of the University of Puerto Rico (University Retirement System), and the Employees Retirement System of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Electric Power Authority Retirement System).</R>

<R>The University Retirement System and the Electric Power Authority Retirement System apply to employees of the University of Puerto Rico and Electric Power Authority, respectively. The Commonwealth is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.</R>

<R>The Teachers Retirement System covers public school teachers and certain private school teachers, as well as teachers working in administrative positions. Substantially all active teachers of the Commonwealth's Department of Education are covered by Act No. 91 of March 29, 2004 which superseded Act No. 218 of 1951. The new law establishes that: (i) the Teachers Retirement System's active employees as of March 29, 2004 (not public school teachers or other Education Department employees) have the option to participate in the Teachers Retirement System or in the Employees Retirement System; (ii) persons hired by Teachers Retirement System after the approval of the new law may only become members of the Teachers Retirement System; (iii) active teacher employees of the Department of Education are members of the Teachers Retirement System; and (iv) licensed teachers working in private schools or other educational organizations may elect to become members of the Teachers Retirement System as long as the required employer and employee contributions are satisfied. The Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the Commonwealth, its municipalities and instrumentalities. As of April 31, 2008, the total number of participants, including active participants and retirees, in the three systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 278,234; Teachers Retirement System, 77,500; and Judiciary Retirement System, 685. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees, and investment income.</R>

<R>The central government is responsible for approximately 64% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 36% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The central government is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employers and employees are determined by law rather than by actuarial requirements. For the Employees Retirement System, required employer contributions are 9.275% of applicable payroll. Required employee contributions for the Employees Retirement System vary according to salary and how the individual employee's retirement benefits are coordinated with social security benefits. For the Judiciary Retirement System, required contributions are 20% of applicable payroll for the employer and 8% for the employees. For the Teachers Retirement System, required contributions are 8.5% of applicable payroll for the employer and 9.0% for the employees.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2005, the total pension benefit obligations for the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System were $12.284 billion and $174 million, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligations of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period were $9.956 billion and $104 million, respectively, representing funding ratios of 19% and 40%, respectively. Any amounts receivable from the Commonwealth with respect to benefits under special benefits laws (discussed below) are considered in the actuarial evaluation process to determine the unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System to the extent receivables are recognized as such by the Employees Retirement System. The June 30, 2005 actuarial valuation was completed in accordance with the "Projected Unit Credit" method and assumed an investment return of 8.5% per year and a salary increase of 5% per year. Insofar as the statutorily mandated annual deposit to the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System is insufficient to cover the actuarial pension benefit obligation, the unfunded pension benefit obligation of the System will continue to increase in the short term, and additional funding from the Commonwealth may ultimately be necessary to cover such unfunded obligation.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability of the system was $7.756 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 41%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.593 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8%, yearly salary increases of 3.5%, employee and employer contributions of 9% and 8.5%, respectively, an inflation rate of 2.5%, and a remaining amortization period of 30 years for the unfunded accrued liability. Under the same above assumptions, but without taking into account benefits paid under special benefits laws (described below) and does not include the obligation with respect to the prospective payments under special benefits laws because these are not obligations of the Teachers Retirement System, and the funding for such benefits will originate from the Commonwealth's General Fund, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability was $7.227 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 44%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.064 billion. Insofar as the statutorily mandated annual deposit to the Teachers Retirement System is insufficient to cover the actuarial pension liability, the unfunded pension benefit obligation will continue to increase, and additional funding from the Commonwealth may ultimately be necessary to cover such unfunded liability.</R>

<R>Various special benefits laws enacted in previous years provided for additional benefits for the Employees Retirement System, Teachers Retirement System, and Judiciary Retirement System. Specifically, in the case of the Employees Retirement System, Act No. 10 of May 21, 1992 provided for special benefit increases of 3% every three years. The first 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date. The second 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1995. This increase is being financed by additional contributions from the employers. The third 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1998. This third increase is being partially funded with additional contributions from some of the employers. In June 2001, the Legislative Assembly approved a fourth 3% increase, effective as of January 1, 2001, in post-retirement annuity payments granted on or prior to January 1, 1998. This increase will be funded by the General Fund for retirees who were employees of the central government and by municipalities and public corporations for retirees who were their employees. In June 2003, the Legislative Assembly approved a fifth increase of 3% in post-retirement benefits effective January 1, 2004. This increase will also be funded by the General Fund for retirees who were employees of the central government and by municipalities and public corporations for retirees who were their employees. In June 2007, the Legislative Assembly approved a sixth increase of 3% in post-retirement benefits effective January 1, 2007. This increase will also be funded by the General Fund for retirees who were employees of the central government and by municipalities and public corporations for retirees who were their employees. Subsequent increases will depend upon the express approval of the Board of Trustees of the Employees Retirement System and the Legislative Assembly, and must provide a funding source. In the case of the Judiciary Retirement System, Act No. 41 of June 13, 2001 provided a 3% special benefit increase in annuity payments, commencing on January 1, 2002 and every three years thereafter, to retirees who have been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date. This increase will be funded by the General Fund.</R>

<R>The Teachers Retirement System is seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the amount of $119 million for special benefits paid by the System to its beneficiaries through June 30, 2004 pursuant to special benefit laws enacted by the Legislative Assembly. The Teachers Retirement System's interpretation of these special benefit laws, to the effect that the Commonwealth is required to reimburse the Teachers Retirement System for such special benefits paid, is being disputed by OMB. This dispute is currently under inter-agency arbitration proceedings. The Employees Retirement System is also seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth (in connection with other special benefits laws applicable to its beneficiaries) in the amount of $73.9 million, representing cumulative benefits paid to beneficiaries through June 30, 2005. OMB believes that the basis of the claims from the Employees Retirement System is valid but that the amounts claimed remain to be verified and reconciled.</R>

<R>In February 1990, the organic act of the Employees Retirement System was amended to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of contributions to the Employees Retirement System and limited the retirement benefits for new employees by increasing the length of employment required for the vesting of certain benefits and reducing the level of benefits in the case of early retirement. The legislation also reduced the level of occupational disability benefits and death benefits received by new employees.</R>

<R>In 1999, the organic act of the Employees Retirement System was further amended to change it, prospectively, from a defined benefit system to a defined contribution system. This amendment provides for the establishment of an individual account for each employee hired by the Commonwealth after December 31, 1999 and for those current employees who elect to transfer from the existing defined benefit system. The individual account of each current employee is credited initially with an amount equal to his aggregate contributions to the Employees Retirement System, plus interest. Current employees who did not elect to transfer to the new defined contribution system will continue accruing benefits under the current defined benefit system. The individual account of each participant of the new defined contribution system is credited monthly with the participant's contribution and is credited semiannually with a rate of return based on either of two notional investment returns. Such accounts are not credited with any contribution by the employer. Instead, employer contributions will now be used completely to reduce the accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System.</R>

<R>The law approving the sale of a controlling interest in Puerto Rico Telephone Company (PRTC) to a consortium led by GTE International Telecommunications Incorporated (subsequently acquired by Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon)) provides that any future proceeds received by the government from the sale of its then remaining 43% stock ownership in PRTC will be transferred to the Employees Retirement System to reduce its accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation. In January 2002, Verizon exercised its option to purchase an additional 15% of the stock of PRTC for $172 million. The proceeds of the sale were transferred to the Employees Retirement System. The Commonwealth has decided to exercise its tag-along rights in connection with the sale by Verizon of its PRTC stock to Sercotel. As a result of the exercise of such rights, the Employees Retirement System received in June 2007 approximately $529 million from the sale of its remaining stock participation in PRTC.</R>

<R>Historically, the Employees Retirement System achieved a return on investment of less than 2% on the PRTC stock, while the average return of the other assets in its portfolio was approximately 10.8%. In order to improve its funding ratio and address its continuing cash shortfalls, the Employees Retirement System intends to use the proceeds received from the sale of the PRTC stock to acquire other, higher-yield assets, such as personal and mortgage loans to participants of the System.</R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2003 through 2007 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2003 was covered with a portion of the proceeds from the sale to Verizon of the 15% stock ownership in PRTC and a loan received from the Treasury. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2004 was covered with a loan received from the Treasury. Balances owed to the Treasury and other pending working capital needs through fiscal year 2005 were refinanced through a repurchase agreement with a financial institution in an amount of $138 million collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2006 was approximately $70 million. This shortfall was covered with a line of credit provided by a private financial institution and collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. There was no cash shortfall for fiscal year 2007 on account of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the PRTC stock. Also with these proceeds the Employees Retirement System paid off the balances of the 2005 repurchase agreement and the 2006 line of credit used to cover the respective year's cash shortfalls.</R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System anticipates that its future cash flow needs for disbursement of benefits to participants are likely to exceed the sum of the employer and employee contributions received and its investment and other recurring income. The Employees Retirement System is also evaluating other measures to improve its cash flows and funding ratio. Some of these measures include, but are not limited to, the establishment of a maximum salary to calculate pension benefits, aggressive collection efforts with respect to employer contributions owed by the Commonwealth, the municipalities and public corporations, and the transfer to the Employees Retirement System of any amounts remaining in the Children's Trust after payment of all the outstanding bonds.</R>

<R>In addition, the Employees Retirement System is currently undertaking a series of financings that would significantly increase the System's funding ratio and reduce its unfunded pension benefit obligation. The financings involve the issuance by the Employees Retirement System of debt secured by a pledge of future employer contributions over the next 50 years. All net cash generated by this financing would be deposited into the Employees Retirement System trust to be invested along with its other assets as described above. As of June 30, 2008, the Employees Retirement System had issued three series totaling approximately $3.0 billion of its Senior Pension Funding Bonds. The Employees Retirement System expects that additional financing will be undertaken during fiscal year 2009 and subsequent years.</R>

<R>Major Sources of General Fund Revenues</R>

<R>Income Taxes. The Commonwealth's income tax law, the Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (P.R. Code), imposes a tax on the income of individual residents of Puerto Rico, trusts, estates, and domestic and foreign (if engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico) corporations and partnerships at graduated rates. A flat tax is imposed on certain payments made to non-residents of Puerto Rico, which is collected through an income tax withholding.</R>

<R>Resident individuals are subject to tax on their taxable income from all sources. The P.R. Code has four tax brackets for individuals with tax rates of 7%, 14%, 25%, and 33%. Dividend income from Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations is taxed at a rate of 10%.</R>

<R>Gain realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset by resident individuals, if held for more than six months, is taxed at a rate of 10%.</R>

<R>Interest income in excess of $2,000 on deposit with Puerto Rico financial institutions is taxed at a rate of 10%; the first $2,000 of interest income from such institutions is exempt from taxation. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and partnerships qualifies for a special 10% tax rate.</R>

<R>In general, the P.R. Code provides for six income tax brackets for corporations and partnerships, with the highest rate (39%) applicable to net taxable income in excess of $300,000. Also, Act No. 41 of August 1, 2005 was enacted to impose a temporary additional tax of 2.5% on corporations and partnerships with a net taxable income of $20,000 or more. In addition, Act No. 98 of May 16, 2006, provides for an extraordinary tax of 5% on resident corporations and partnerships engaged in business for pecuniary profit and whose gross income for the immediately preceding taxable year ended on or prior to December 31, 2005 exceed $10 million. The 5% tax must be paid on or prior to July 31, 2006 and such amount may be subsequently claimed as a tax credit against such entity's income tax liability. Act No. 89 of May 13, 2006 also imposes an additional special tax for the taxable year commencing in 2006 of 2% on the net income subject to standard taxation of all corporations operating under the provisions of the Puerto Rico Banking Law.</R>

<R>Gains realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset, if held for more than six months, are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Dividends received by Puerto Rico corporations and partnerships of foreign corporations and partnerships engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico are subject to general income tax rates. A dividends received credit may be available when the corporation or partnership making the distribution is organized in Puerto Rico. A special tax rate of 17% is applicable to dividend distributions of REITs received by corporations. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident corporations and partnerships qualifies for a special tax rate of 10%.</R>

<R>In general, corporations and partnerships operating under a new grant of tax exemption issued under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are subject to a maximum income tax rate of 7% during their basic exemption period. Certain corporations and partnerships covered by the tax incentives acts continue to be subject to a maximum tax rate of 45% on their taxable income. Corporations and partnerships covered by the Tourism Incentives Act are subject to a maximum tax rate of 42% on their taxable income. The P.R. Code also provides for an alternative minimum tax (AMT) of 22%.</R>

<R>The P.R. Code imposes a branch profits tax on resident foreign corporations less than 80% of whose gross income qualifies as income effectively connected with a Puerto Rico trade or business. The branch profits tax is 10% of an annual dividend equivalent amount, and it applies without regard to the Puerto Rico source of income rules.</R>

<R>Interest from Puerto Rico sources paid to non-resident non-affiliated corporate recipients is not subject to any income or withholding tax. Interest paid to certain related non-resident recipients is subject to a withholding tax of 29%. Dividends paid to non-resident corporate recipients are subject to a withholding tax of 15%. Dividends distributed by corporations (including Section 936 Corporations) operating under new grants of tax exemption issued under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are not subject to Puerto Rico income tax. However, royalty payments made by such corporations to non-resident recipients are subject to a 15% withholding tax. The basic tax on dividends paid to foreign corporate shareholders of Section 936 Corporations operating under grants of tax exemption issued under prior incentives laws is 10% but is subject to reduction if a percentage of the profits are invested in certain eligible instruments for specified periods of time.</R>

<R>Sales and Use Taxes. The Sales Tax (see "Tax Reform") is imposed on the sale, use, consumption and storage of taxable items, which include tangible personal property, taxable services, admission rights and combined transactions, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The Sales Tax will not be imposed on, among other things: (i) taxable items acquired by merchants for resale; (ii) taxable items acquired by manufacturing plants; (iii) taxable items acquired for use and consumption outside of Puerto Rico; (iv) certain food products that do not need to be heated before their sale; (v) prescription drugs; (vi) the rental payments received by a lessor of real property which is used for residential or commercial purposes; (vii) services provided by designated professionals; (viii) cash, cash equivalents, stocks, bonds, notes, mortgage loans, insurance, securities and interest derived for the use or forbearance of money; (ix) sales of real property; and (x) leases in which the Industrial Development Company is the owner of the property. The Sales Tax was effective starting on November 15, 2006 and is projected to generate for the General Fund approximately $911 million for fiscal year 2008. The Sales Tax is estimated to produce $977 million for fiscal year 2009.</R>

<R>Excise Taxes. The P.R. Code imposes an excise tax on certain articles and commodities, such as cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, cement, motor vehicles, and certain petroleum products, which are taxed at different rates. The excise tax imposed on articles and commodities imported into Puerto Rico for consumption in Puerto Rico ended on October 16, 2006 and has been replaced by the previously described sales and use tax on November 15, 2006.</R>

<R>Other Taxes and Revenues. Motor vehicle license plate and registration fees comprise the major portion of license tax receipts.</R>

<R>Non-tax revenues consist principally of lottery proceeds, documentary stamps, permits, fees and forfeits, proceeds of land sales, and receipts from public corporations in lieu of taxes.</R>

<R>Revenues from non-Commonwealth sources include customs duties collected in Puerto Rico and excise taxes on shipments of rum from the island to the U.S. mainland. The customs duties and excise taxes on shipments are imposed and collected by the U.S. and returned to the Commonwealth. The excise tax on shipments of rum from Puerto Rico and other rum-producing countries is $13.50 per gallon. Of this amount, the lesser of $13.25 per proof gallon and the actual excise tax imposed is currently returned to the Treasury.</R>

<R>Property Taxes. Personal property, which accounts for approximately 48% of total collections of taxable property, is self-assessed. Real property taxes are assessed based on 1958 property values. No real property reassessment has been made since 1958, and construction taking place after that year has been assessed on the basis of what the value of the property would have been in 1958. Accordingly, the overall assessed valuation of real property for taxation purposes is substantially lower than the actual market value. Also, an exemption on the first $15,000 of assessed valuation in owner-occupied residences is available.</R>

<R>Property taxes are assessed, determined and collected for the benefit of the municipalities by the Municipal Revenues Collection Center (CRIM), a government instrumentality of the Commonwealth. However, a special 1.03% tax on the assessed value of all property (other than exempted property) imposed by the Commonwealth for purposes of paying the Commonwealth's general obligation debt is deposited in the Commonwealth's Redemption Fund.</R>

<R>Collections of Income and Excise Taxes</R>

<R>The Treasury has continued its program for improving tax collections. The program consists, in part, of taking the initiative in sponsoring and implementing tax reform, particularly in the areas of excise taxes and income taxes, in order to decrease the incidences of nonpayment of taxes and to expand the taxpayer base. The program has also included (i) improving the methods by which delinquent taxpayers are identified, primarily through the use of computer analyses; (ii) computerizing the processing of tax returns; and (iii) identifying and eliminating taxpayer evasion. With the elimination of the general excise tax in October 2006, Treasury excise tax personnel have been reassigned to monitor compliance with the new sales tax.</R>

<R>Tax Reform</R>

<R>Act No. 117 of July 4, 2006 (Act 117) amended the P.R. Code to provide, among other things, for a general sale and use tax of 5.5% to be imposed by the central government (Central Government Sales Tax). Act 117 also authorizes each municipal government to impose a municipal sale and use tax of 1.5% (Municipal Sales Tax and, together with the Central Government Sales Tax, Sales Tax). In general, the Municipal Sales Tax has the same tax base, exemptions (except for unprocessed foods) and limitations as those provided for the Central Government Sales Tax. Act 117 also provides certain income tax reductions to address the regressive effect of the Sales Tax on taxpayers in lower income tax brackets.</R>

<R>The Sales Tax is imposed on the sale, use, consumption and storage of taxable items, which include tangible personal property, taxable services, admission rights and certain other types of transactions covering separable and identifiable taxable items which are sold for a single price, subject to certain exceptions and limitations provided therein. The Sales Tax will not be imposed on, among other things: (i) taxable items acquired by merchants for resale; (ii) taxable items acquired by manufacturing plants; (iii) taxable items acquired for use and consumption outside of Puerto Rico; (iv) certain food products that do not need to be heated before their sale; (v) prescription drugs; (vi) the rental payments received by a lessor of real property which is used for residential or commercial purposes; (vii) services provided by designated professionals; (viii) cash, cash equivalents, stocks, bonds, notes, mortgage loans, insurance, securities and interest derived for the use or forbearance of money; (ix) sales of real property; and (x) leases in which the Industrial Development Company is the owner of the property.</R>

<R>Act 117 also repealed the 5% general excise tax imposed on imported goods and the 3.6% general excise tax imposed on goods manufactured in Puerto Rico. Other items, such as fuel, crude oil and petroleum products, and vehicles, however, will remain subject to the excise tax previously applicable to such items, and are not subject to the Sales Tax.</R>

<R>The Sales Tax became effective on November 15, 2006 and the effective date of the repeal of the 5% general excise tax was October 16, 2006. Municipalities were authorized to implement the Municipal Sales Tax starting on July 1, 2006, and most have done so. The revenues derived from the Sales Tax will be distributed as follows: (i) municipal governments will retain 13/15 of the Municipal Sales Tax (equivalent to a tax of 1.5% out of the total 7% Sales Tax); (ii) the Dedicated Sales Tax Fund, created by Act No. 91 of May 13, 2006, as amended, will receive one-seventh of the Sales Tax (equivalent to a tax of 1% out of the total 7% Sales Tax); and (iii) the General Fund receives the balance of the Sales Tax (equivalent to a tax of 4.5% out of the total 7% Sales Tax). The Secretary of the Treasury projects for fiscal year 2008 that each percentage point of the Sales Tax will generate annually approximately $202 million of gross revenues and that the Sales Tax generated total annual gross revenues for the General Fund of approximately $911 million. For fiscal year 2007, the corresponding projections are $191 million and $576 million. The increase in revenues to be generated by the Sales Tax has been partly offset by the elimination of the 5% general excise tax and the effect of the income tax reduction measures included in Act 117.</R>

<R>Act 117 also provided for special income tax rates with respect to certain transactions occurring on and between July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006 (Transition Period). Eligible dividends declared by domestic corporations or partnerships during the Transition Period qualified for a 5% special income tax. The dividend does not need to be distributed to qualify for the 5% special income tax rate. During the Transition Period, Act 117 also provided a special tax rate of 5% (10% in the case of resident corporations and partnerships) in connection with "built-in" gains associated to capital assets held for periods in excess of six months (Special Capital Gains Tax). In order to take advantage of the Special Capital Gains Tax, a taxpayer must file an election with the Secretary of the Treasury. The sale of the capital asset is not required to qualify for the Special Capital Gains Tax. In addition to the other conditions mentioned herein, the Special Capital Gains Tax is only available in connection with capital assets consisting of stock or participations of domestic and foreign corporations and partnerships, and real property located in Puerto Rico. However, in the case of resident corporations and partnerships, the Special Capital Gains Tax applies only to real property located in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>Proposed Sales Tax and Excise Tax Changes. On February 6, 2008, the Governor, in his State of the Commonwealth address, proposed suspending a portion of the current Sales Tax, for a reduction from 7% to 2.5%, and reinstituting a revamped excise tax on goods imported into Puerto Rico to help stimulate the Commonwealth's economy. The proposal included provisions that would have continued the earmarking of sales tax revenues equal to 1% of the total sales tax rate to the Dedicated Sales Tax Fund and other mechanisms currently in place to ensure the security for the outstanding bonds issued by the Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA). On February 7, 2008, the Governor stated that any proposal from his administration would not impair the rights of bondholders and that he would veto any counterproposal from the Legislature of Puerto Rico that would constitute a possible impairment of the rights of bondholders. On February 7, 2008, S&P placed the COFINA bonds on CreditWatch Negative and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (Fitch) placed the same bonds on Rating Watch. On March 14, 2008, the Governor submitted to the Legislature a proposed bill establishing the conditions for suspending the collection of the 4.5% sales and use tax (which is the portion of the total sales and use tax to be collected for the General Fund), establishing and funding a debt service reserve fund for the benefit of the COFINA bonds and re-instituting the revamped excise tax. Said bill was structured to safeguard the rights of COFINA bondholders and is aimed at preserving the current rating of the COFINA bonds. Such action was expected to be revenue neutral for the General Fund. The legislation proposed by the Governor was not approved by the Legislature.</R>

<R>Federal Grants</R>

<R>Puerto Rico receives grants under numerous federal programs. Federal grants to the agencies and instrumentalities of the Commonwealth government, including public corporations, are estimated to be $4.150 billion for fiscal year 2009, a decrease of $65.2 million, or 1.5%, from fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Budget of the Commonwealth</R>

<R>The fiscal year of the Commonwealth begins each July 1. The Governor is constitutionally required to submit to the Legislative Assembly an annual balanced budget of revenues, capital improvements, and operating expenses of the central government for the ensuing fiscal year. The annual budget is prepared by OMB, in coordination with the Planning Board, the Treasury, and other government offices and agencies. Section 7 of Article VI of the Constitution provides that "The appropriations made for any fiscal year shall not exceed the total revenues, including available surplus, estimated for said fiscal year unless the imposition of taxes sufficient to cover said appropriations is provided by law."</R>

<R>The annual budget, which is developed utilizing elements of program budgeting, includes an estimate of revenues and other resources for the ensuing fiscal year under (i) laws existing at the time the budget is submitted, and (ii) legislative measures proposed by the Governor and submitted with the proposed budget, as well as the Governor's recommendations as to appropriations that in his judgment are necessary, convenient, and in conformity with the four-year investment plan prepared by the Planning Board.</R>

<R>The Legislative Assembly may amend the budget submitted by the Governor but may not increase any items so as to cause a deficit without imposing taxes to cover such deficit. Upon passage by the Legislative Assembly, the budget is referred to the Governor, who may decrease or eliminate any item but may not increase or insert any new item in the budget. The Governor may also veto the budget in its entirety and return it to the Legislative Assembly with the Governor's objections. The Legislative Assembly, by a two-thirds majority in each house, may override the Governor's veto. If a budget is not adopted prior to the succeeding fiscal year, as was the case for fiscal year 2006, the annual budget for the preceding fiscal year as originally approved by the Legislative Assembly and the Governor is automatically renewed for the ensuing fiscal year until a new budget is approved by the Legislative Assembly and the Governor. This permits the Commonwealth to continue making payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.</R>

<R>Fiscal Reform. On May 25, 2006, the Governor signed Act No. 103 providing for a fiscal reform of the Commonwealth government (Fiscal Reform Legislation). The Fiscal Reform Legislation applies to every instrumentality and entity of the Executive Branch funded, in whole or in part, from the General Fund and sets forth, as the public policy of the Commonwealth, the reduction of government spending, the elimination or consolidation of redundant agencies, the reduction of government payroll without causing the layoff of regular employees or increasing the actuarial liability of the retirement systems, the limitation of unnecessary, extravagant or excessive spending, and the limitation of public relations and other similar expenses. Despite his approval of the Fiscal Reform Legislation, the Governor has stated that certain of its provisions may be unconstitutional because they infringe on Executive Branch prerogatives. As such, the Governor has informed the Legislative Assembly that certain provisions of the Fiscal Reform Legislation will be implemented at the Executive Branch's discretion and through the use of the Executive Branch's prerogatives. There is no assurance that the Fiscal Reform Legislation will result in the intended reduction of expenditures or that it will be implemented as enacted or that it will not be judicially challenged.</R>

<R>Financial Control and Adjustment Procedures. Revenue estimates for budgetary purposes are prepared by the Treasury, except for estimates of federal grants, which are prepared by OMB based on information received from the various departments and other recipients of such grants. Revenue and federal grant estimates are under continuous review and, if necessary, are revised at least quarterly during the fiscal year. Fiscal control over expenditures is exercised by the Governor, through the Director of OMB, and the Secretary of the Treasury. Monthly reviews and expenditure cut-off procedures are followed to prevent expenditures in excess of appropriations.</R>

<R>During any fiscal year in which the resources available to the Commonwealth are insufficient to cover the appropriations approved for such year, the Governor may take administrative measures to reduce expenses and submit to both houses of the Legislative Assembly a detailed report of any adjustment necessary to balance the budget, or make recommendations to the Legislative Assembly for new taxes or authorize borrowings under provisions of existing legislation or take any other necessary action to meet the estimated deficiency. Any such proposed adjustments shall give effect to the "priority norms" established by law for the disbursement of public funds in the following order of priority: first, the payment of the interest on and amortization requirements for public debt (Commonwealth general obligations and guaranteed debt for which the Commonwealth's guarantee has been exercised); second, the fulfillment of obligations arising out of legally binding contracts, court decisions on eminent domain, and other unavoidable obligations to protect the name, credit and good faith of the Commonwealth; third, current expenditures in the areas of health, protection of persons and property, education, welfare and retirement systems; and fourth, all other purposes.</R>

<R>A Budgetary Fund was created by Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980, as amended (Budgetary Fund), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, to secure the payment of public debt, and to provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public service. Currently, an amount equal to one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year is deposited annually into the Fund. In addition, other income (not classified as revenues) that is not assigned by law to a specific purpose is also required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. The maximum balance of the Budgetary Fund may not exceed 6% of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year. As of March 31, 2008, the Budgetary Fund balance was $0.</R>

<R>An Emergency Fund was created by Act No. 91 of June 21, 1966, as amended (Emergency Fund), to cover unexpected public needs caused by calamities, such as wars, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and plagues, and to protect people's lives and property and the public sector credit. The Emergency Fund is capitalized annually with an amount totaling no less than one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year. Act No. 91 was amended in 2003 to set an upper limit to the Emergency Fund of $150 million at the beginning of the fiscal year and was further amended in 2005 to authorize the disbursement of funds from the Emergency Fund to cover certain General Fund expenditures and operational costs of the State Emergency Management Agency. The 2005 amendment also authorizes GDB to lend to the Commonwealth up to $150 million to replenish the Emergency Fund to provide funding for emergency and disaster needs. As of March 31, 2008, the balance in the Emergency Fund was less than $1 million.</R>

<R>Appropriations. Appropriations in the central government budget of Puerto Rico consist of the following:</R>

<R>(ii) General Fund appropriations for special operating expenses, for contributions to municipalities, the University of Puerto Rico and the Judiciary Branch and for capital expenditures are authorized by separate law for one or more years for special programs or activities, which may be permanent or transitory.</R>

<R>(iii) Disbursement of Special Funds for operating purposes and for capital improvements. For the most part, such disbursements do not require annual legislative authorization, because they are authorized by previous legislation or by the United States Congress. Federal grants constitute the major part of the resources of the Special Funds.</R>

<R>(iv) Bond Fund appropriations for capital expenditures are financed by bonds. Such expenditures occur in one or more years.</R>

<R>In Puerto Rico, the central government performs many functions that in the fifty states are the responsibility of local governments, such as providing public education and police and fire protection. The central government also provides significant annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico and to the municipalities.</R>

<R>For fiscal year 2007, approximately 47% of the General Fund was committed for payment of the central government payroll. In addition, approximately 26% of the General Fund was committed to the payment of fixed charges such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, funding for the judicial branch, deposits to the Budgetary and Emergency Funds, among others, and debt service on the direct debt of the Commonwealth. For fiscal year 2008, it is estimated that approximately 47% and 6% of the General Fund be committed for payment of the central government payroll (not including the University of Puerto Rico and judicial branch) and debt service on the direct debt of the Commonwealth, respectively. Commencing with fiscal year 2004, the Commonwealth appropriates annually to the judicial branch an amount initially equal to 3.3% of the average annual revenue from internal sources for each of the two preceding fiscal years. This percentage will increase until it reaches 4% in fiscal year 2008, and may be further increased upon review, with scheduled reviews every five years.</R>

<R>Budget for Fiscal Year 2008. The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2008 totals $27.1 billion. Of this amount, $14.5 billion is assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $9.227 billion, which represents a decrease of $3 million over expenditures for fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Estimated expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $14.5 billion, an increase of $207.3 million from fiscal year 2007. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2008 are mainly due to increases in health (up $99.1 million), public safety and protection (up $76.2 million), special pension contributions (up $30.1 million), transportation and communication (up $9.4 million), other debt service (up $8.9 million), housing (up $1.6 million), and decreases in welfare (down $100.8 million), debt service on Commonwealth's general obligation and guaranteed debt (down $49.2 million), contributions to municipalities (down $26.9 million), economic development (down $21.3 million), education (down $20.8 million) and general government (down $2 million).</R>

<R>Preliminary actual expenditures during fiscal year 2008 were $9.057 billion. Preliminary General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2008 totaled $8.253 billion, which is $418 million less than the Treasury's revised estimate for that period of $8.671 billion. This amount includes $4.359 billion in revenues from individual and corporate income taxes, $1.088 billion from non-resident withholding taxes, $864 million from excise taxes and $911 million of sales tax revenues. The foregoing difference between the preliminary General Fund revenues and preliminary actual expenses for fiscal year 2008 was covered by approximately $287 million more in federal funds than had been budgeted, $150 million from the pending sale of certain government properties, cash flow savings resulting from restructuring of certain debt, and certain cash management procedures, which include delaying payments to certain vendors for a short period of time (carrying them over into the next fiscal year). The federal recovery represented reimbursement of amounts advanced by the Commonwealth's Department of Education during fiscal year 2006 and 2007.</R>

<R>Budget for Fiscal Year 2009. The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2009 totals $26.3 billion. Of this amount, $14.5 billion is assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations.</R>

<R>On July 20, 2008, the Governor signed into law the General Fund budget for fiscal year 2009 of $9.484 billion, or approximately $257 million more than budgeted expenditures for fiscal year 2008 of $9.227 billion. The increase in budgeted expenditures over fiscal year 2008 is mainly due to $105 million from University of Puerto Rico, judiciary and municipal increases based on the legislated formulas and salary increases mandated by law or collective bargaining agreements. An additional $41.2 million is budgeted for the State Election Commission. The General Fund revenue projection for fiscal year 2009 is $8.488 billion, an increase of $235 million, or 2.9%, from preliminary net revenues for fiscal year 2008 of $8.253 billion. The Commonwealth's budgeted expenditures for fiscal year 2009 of $9.484 billion exceed projected revenue of $8.488 billion by approximately $1 billion. The Commonwealth's economic team is working to enforce spending control measures that have been established to attempt to minimize the budget risk. In connection with the budget approval and in order to cover the approximately $1 billion difference between approved expenditures and projected revenues, legislation was approved and signed by the Governor authorizing the Commonwealth (i) to sell and/or transfer delinquent tax receivables up to $1 billion; and (ii) as an exception to the general prohibition against borrowings to balance the budget, to issue limited special obligations of the Commonwealth payable from and collateralized with tax receivables. There is no guaranty that the Commonwealth will be able to issue such limited special obligations in amounts to cover the expected revenue shortfall in a timely manner, and, if that is the case, other funding sources, such as possible support from Government Development Bank, will have to be secure.</R>

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and in accordance with the policies described in this section.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund. The Trustees also review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if it was reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

The Selection of Brokers

<R>In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) to execute the fund's portfolio transactions, FMR considers factors deemed relevant in the context of a particular trade and in regard to FMR's overall responsibilities with respect to the fund and other investment accounts, including any instructions from the fund's portfolio manager, which may emphasize, for example, speed of execution over other factors. The factors considered will influence whether it is appropriate to execute an order using ECNs, electronic channels including algorithmic trading, or by actively working an order. Other factors deemed relevant may include, but are not limited to: price; the size and type of the transaction; the reasonableness of compensation to be paid, including spreads and commission rates; the speed and certainty of trade executions, including broker willingness to commit capital; the nature and characteristics of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold, including the degree of specialization of the broker in such markets or securities; the availability of liquidity in the security, including the liquidity and depth afforded by a market center or market-maker; the reliability of a market center or broker; the broker's overall trading relationship with FMR; the trader's assessment of whether and how closely the broker likely will follow the trader's instructions to the broker; the degree of anonymity that a particular broker or market can provide; the potential for avoiding market impact; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable. In seeking best qualitative execution, FMR may select a broker using a trading method for which the broker may charge a higher commission than its lowest available commission rate. FMR also may select a broker that charges more than the lowest available commission rate available from another broker. For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services provided by the FCM.</R>

The Acquisition of Brokerage and Research Products and Services

Brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) that execute transactions for the fund may receive higher compensation from the fund than other brokers might have charged the fund, in recognition of the value of the brokerage or research products and services they provide to FMR or its affiliates.

<R>FMR's Decision-Making Process. Before causing the fund to pay a particular level of compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research products and services provided to FMR, viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. While FMR may take into account the brokerage and/or research products and services provided by a broker in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to any broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a specific amount of compensation or otherwise. Typically, these products and services assist FMR and its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund. Certain funds or investment accounts may use brokerage commissions to acquire brokerage and research products and services that may also benefit other funds or accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates.</R>

<R>Research Contracts. FMR has arrangements with certain third-party research providers and brokers through whom FMR effects fund trades, whereby FMR may pay with fund commissions or hard dollars for all or a portion of the cost of research products and services purchased from such research providers or brokers. If hard dollar payments are used, FMR may still cause the fund to pay more for execution than the lowest commission rate available from the broker providing research products and services to FMR, or that may be available from another broker. FMR views hard dollar payments for research products and services as likely to reduce the fund's total commission costs even though it is expected that in such hard dollar arrangements the commissions available for recapture and to pay fund expenses, as described below, will decrease. FMR's determination to pay for research products and services separately, rather than bundled with fund commissions, is wholly voluntary on FMR's part and may be extended to additional brokers or discontinued with any broker participating in this arrangement.</R>

Commission Recapture

<R>FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker, using a predetermined methodology, rebates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund to offset that fund's expenses, which may be paid to FMR or its affiliates. Not all brokers with whom the fund trades have agreed to participate in brokerage commission recapture.</R>

Affiliated Transactions

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

Trade Allocation

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed by FMR to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases adherence to these procedures could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund.

<R>Commissions Paid</R>

<R>A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by a fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changing asset levels, shareholder activity, and/or portfolio turnover.</R>

<R>For the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 23% and 12%, respectively. Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, and/or changes in FMR's investment outlook.</R>

<R>The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund, comprising commissions paid on securities and/or futures transactions, as applicable, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. The total amount of brokerage commissions paid is stated as a dollar amount and a percentage of the fund's average net assets.</R>

Fiscal Year Ended August 31	Dollar Amount	Percentage of Average Net Assets
2009	$ 28	0.00%
2008	$ 280	0.00%
2007	$ 340	0.00%

<R>During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, the fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services.</R>

VALUATION

The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods. If quotations are not available, debt securities are usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

The fund, in its discretion, may determine to issue its shares in kind in exchange for securities held by the purchaser having a value, determined in accordance with the fund's policies for valuation of portfolio securities, equal to the purchase price of the fund shares issued. The fund will accept for in-kind purchases only securities or other instruments that are appropriate under its investment objective and policies. In addition, the fund generally will not accept securities of any issuer unless they are liquid, have a readily ascertainable market value, and are not subject to restrictions on resale. All dividends, distributions, and subscription or other rights associated with the securities become the property of the fund, along with the securities. Shares purchased in exchange for securities in kind generally cannot be redeemed for fifteen days following the exchange to allow time for the transfer to settle.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

<R>Dividends. To the extent that the fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund will be federally tax-exempt, provided that the fund qualifies to pay tax-exempt dividends. In order to qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends, at least 50% of the value of the fund's total assets (including uninvested assets) must consist of tax-exempt municipal securities at the close of each quarter of the fund's taxable year. Short-term capital gains are taxable at ordinary income tax rates.</R>

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued and you may need to file an amended income tax return. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, not as capital gains.

Maryland Tax Matters. To the extent that dividends paid by the fund qualify as exempt-interest dividends of a regulated investment company, the portion of exempt-interest dividends that represents interest received by the fund on obligations (a) of Maryland or its political subdivisions and authorities, or (b) of the United States or an authority, commission, instrumentality, possession or territory of the United States, will be exempt from Maryland personal income taxes when allocated or distributed to a shareholder of the fund. In addition, gains realized by the fund from the sale or exchange of a bond issued by Maryland or a political subdivision of Maryland, or by the United States or an authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States, will not be subject to Maryland personal income taxes. To the extent that distributions of the fund are attributable to sources other than those described in the preceding sentences, such as interest received by the fund on obligations issued by states other than Maryland or capital gains realized on obligations issued by U.S. territories and possessions and from states other than Maryland, and income earned on repurchase agreements, such distributions will be subject to Maryland personal income taxes. Income earned on certain private activity bonds which the fund might hold may constitute a Maryland tax preference for individual shareholders. In addition, capital gains realized by a shareholder upon a redemption or exchange of fund shares will be subject to Maryland personal income taxes. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued (directly or indirectly) by a shareholder of the fund to purchase or carry shares of the fund will not be deductible for Maryland personal income tax purposes to the extent such interest is allocable to exempt-interest dividends.

<R>Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.</R>

<R>As of August 31, 2009, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $469,179. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on August 31, 2017, is available to offset future capital gains. Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations, a fund's ability to utilize its capital loss carryforwards in a given year or in total may be limited.</R>

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

(FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited (FMR H.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC). The voting common shares of FMR LLC are divided into two series. Series B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d and Abigail P. Johnson family, directly or through trust and limited liability companies, and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common shares. Series A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting securities of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.</R>

<R>FIL Limited, a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of FIL Investment Advisors (FIIA) and FIL Investment Advisors (U.K.) Ltd. (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Abigail P. Johnson, other Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL Limited. At present, the primary business activities of FIL Limited and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.</R>

<R>FMR, FIMM, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., FMR Japan, FRAC, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), FDC, and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.</R>

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are interested persons of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. Under the terms of the fund's management contract, FMR is responsible for payment of all operating expenses of the fund with certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR include expenses for typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of the custodian, auditor, and interested Trustees, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund's management contract further provides that FMR will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services and pricing and bookkeeping services.

FMR pays all other expenses of the fund with the following exceptions: fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the fund's average net assets throughout the month. The management fee paid to FMR by the fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the Independent Trustees.

<R>For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the fund paid FMR management fees of $796,965, $801,023, and $663,996, respectively, after reduction of fees and expenses paid by the fund to the Independent Trustees. In addition, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, credits reducing management fees amounted to $9,274, $71,608, and $79,357, respectively.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses). FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FIMM. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM pursuant to which FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for the fund. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR, and not the fund, pays FIMM's fees.

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of the fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM, and not the fund, pays FIIA. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA, and not the fund, pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

Sub-Adviser - FRAC. On behalf of the fund, FMR, FIMM, and FRAC have entered into a research agreement. Pursuant to the research agreement, FRAC provides investment advice and research services on domestic issuers. Under the terms of the research agreement, FMR and FIMM, and not the fund, agree, in the aggregate, to pay FRAC.

<R>Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States (non-discretionary services) and on behalf of FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority and the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund (discretionary services). FMR, and not the fund, pays the sub-advisers.</R>

<R>Mark Sommer is the portfolio manager of Maryland Municipal Income and receives compensation for his services. As of August 31, 2009, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to his tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over his tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with his tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a benchmark index. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of Mr. Sommer's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Maryland Municipal Income is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the fund measured against the Barclays Capital Maryland 4+ Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.</R>

The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in the fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.

<R>PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES</R>

<R>The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the Independent Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)</R>

<R>I. General Principles</R>

<R> C. Except as set forth herein, FMR will generally vote in favor of routine management proposals.</R>

<R> D. Non-routine proposals will generally be voted in accordance with the Guidelines.</R>

<R> F. FMR will vote on shareholder proposals not specifically addressed by the Guidelines based on an evaluation of a proposal's likelihood to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value. Where information is not readily available to analyze the economic impact of the proposal, FMR will generally abstain.</R>

<R> G. Many Fidelity Funds invest in voting securities issued by companies that are domiciled outside the United States and are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange. Corporate governance standards, legal or regulatory requirements and disclosure practices in foreign countries can differ from those in the United States. When voting proxies relating to non-U.S. securities, FMR will generally evaluate proposals in the context of the Guidelines, but FMR may, where applicable and feasible, take into consideration differing laws and regulations in the relevant foreign market in determining how to vote shares.</R>

<R> H. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, shareholders voting shares of a portfolio company may be restricted from trading the shares for a period of time around the shareholder meeting date. Because such trading restrictions can hinder portfolio management and could result in a loss of liquidity for a fund, FMR will generally not vote proxies in circumstances where such restrictions apply. In addition, certain non-U.S. jurisdictions require voting shareholders to disclose current share ownership on a fund-by-fund basis. When such disclosure requirements apply, FMR will generally not vote proxies in order to safeguard fund holdings information.</R>

<R> I. Where a management-sponsored proposal is inconsistent with the Guidelines, FMR may receive a company's commitment to modify the proposal or its practice to conform to the Guidelines, and FMR will generally support management based on this commitment. If a company subsequently does not abide by its commitment, FMR will generally withhold authority for the election of directors at the next election.</R>

<R>II. Definitions (as used in this document)</R>

<R> A. Anti-Takeover Provision - includes fair price amendments; classified boards; "blank check" preferred stock; Golden Parachutes; supermajority provisions; Poison Pills; restricting the right to call special meetings; and any other provision that eliminates or limits shareholder rights.</R>

<R> C. Greenmail - payment of a premium to repurchase shares from a shareholder seeking to take over a company through a proxy contest or other means.</R>

<R> D. Sunset provision - a condition in a charter or plan that specifies an expiration date.</R>

<R> E. Permitted Bid Feature - a provision suspending the application of a Poison Pill, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer for all outstanding shares.</R>

<R> F. Poison Pill - a strategy employed by a potential take-over/target company to make its stock less attractive to an acquirer. Poison Pills are generally designed to dilute the acquirer's ownership and value in the event of a take-over.</R>

<R> G. Large-Capitalization Company - a company included in the Russell 1000^® stock index.</R>

<R> H. Small-Capitalization Company - a company not included in the Russell 1000 stock index that is not a Micro-Capitalization Company.</R>

<R> I. Micro-Capitalization Company - a company with a market capitalization under US $300 million.</R>

<R>III. Directors</R>

<R> A. Incumbent Directors</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of incumbent and nominee directors except where one or more such directors clearly appear to have failed to exercise reasonable judgment.</R>

<R> FMR will also generally withhold authority for the election of all directors or directors on responsible committees if:</R>

<R> 1. An Anti-Takeover Provision was introduced, an Anti-Takeover Provision was extended, or a new Anti-Takeover Provision was adopted upon the expiration of an existing Anti-Takeover Provision, without shareholder approval except as set forth below.</R>

<R> With respect to Poison Pills, however, FMR will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if all of the following conditions are met when a Poison Pill is introduced, extended, or adopted:</R>

<R> a. The Poison Pill includes a Sunset Provision of less than five years;</R>

<R> b. The Poison Pill includes a Permitted Bid Feature;</R>

<R> c. The Poison Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; and</R>

<R> d. Shareholder approval is required to reinstate the Poison Pill upon expiration.</R>

<R> FMR will also consider not withholding authority on the election of directors when one or more of the conditions above are not met if a board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding above conditions noted a. and b. to an existing Poison Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, FMR will withhold authority on the election of directors.</R>

<R> 2. The company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend the Poison Pill to allow Fidelity to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.</R>

<R> 4. The company failed to act in the best interests of shareholders when approving executive compensation, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company used an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee engaged independent compensation consultants; and (iii) whether it has been proven that the company engaged in options backdating.</R>

<R> 5. To gain FMR's support on a proposal, the company made a commitment to modify a proposal or practice to conform to the Guidelines and the company has failed to act on that commitment.</R>

<R> 6. The director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board or its committees on which the director served during the company's prior fiscal year, absent extenuating circumstances.</R>

<R> 7. The board is not comprised of a majority of independent directors.</R>

<R> B. Indemnification</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of charter and by-law amendments expanding the indemnification of directors and/or limiting their liability for breaches of care unless FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by Anti-Takeover Provisions.</R>

<R> C. Independent Chairperson</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.</R>

<R> D. Majority Director Elections</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals calling for directors to be elected by an affirmative majority of votes cast in a board election, provided that the proposal allows for plurality voting standard in the case of contested elections (i.e., where there are more nominees than board seats). FMR may consider voting against such shareholder proposals where a company's board has adopted an alternative measure, such as a director resignation policy, that provides a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard and appropriately addresses situations where an incumbent director fails to receive the support of a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election.</R>

<R>IV. Compensation</R>

<R> A. Equity award plans (including stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock awards).</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against equity award plans or amendments to authorize additional shares under such plans if:</R>

<R> 1. (a) The dilution effect of the shares outstanding and available for issuance pursuant to all plans, plus any new share requests is greater than 10% for a Large-Capitalization Company, 15% for a Small-Capitalization Company or 20% for a Micro-Capitalization Company; and (b) there were no circumstances specific to the company or the plans that lead FMR to conclude that the level of dilution in the plan or the amendments is acceptable.</R>

<R> 2. In the case of stock option plans, (a) the offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus; (b) the plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options; or (c) the board/committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past two years.</R>

<R> 3. The plan may be materially altered without shareholder approval, including increasing the benefits accrued to participants under the plan; increasing the number of securities which may be issued under the plan; modifying the requirements for participation in the plan; or including a provision allowing the board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion, except in limited cases relating to death, disability, retirement, or change in control.</R>

<R> 4. Awards to non-employee directors are subject to management discretion.</R>

<R> 5. In the case of stock awards, the restriction period is less than three years for non-performance-based awards, and less than one year for performance-based awards.</R>

<R> FMR will consider approving an equity award plan or an amendment to authorize additional shares under such plan if, without complying with the guidelines immediately above, the following two conditions are met:</R>

<R> 1. The shares are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors; and</R>

<R> 2. The shares are limited to 5% (Large-Capitalization Company) and 10% (Small- or Micro-Capitalization Company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> B. Equity Exchanges and Repricing</R>

<R> 1. Whether the proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the exchange or repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable pricing model;</R>

<R> 3. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 4. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 5. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether an exchange or repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R> C. Employee Stock Purchase Plans</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against employee stock purchase plans if the plan violates any of the criteria in section IV(A) above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, FMR may permit a lower minimum stock purchase price equal to the prevailing "best practices" in the relevant non-U.S. market, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.</R>

<R> D. Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. FMR will generally vote against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.</R>

<R> E. Executive Compensation</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans if such proposals are inconsistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.</R>

<R> F. Bonus Plans and Tax Deductibility Proposals</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of cash and stock incentive plans that are submitted for shareholder approval in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that the plan includes well defined and appropriate performance criteria, and with respect to any cash component, that the maximum award per participant is clearly stated and is not unreasonable or excessive.</R>

<R>V. Anti-Takeover Provisions</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against a proposal to adopt or approve the adoption of an Anti-Takeover Provision unless:</R>

<R> A. The Poison Pill includes the following features:</R>

<R> 1. A Sunset Provision of no greater than five years;</R>

<R> 2. Linked to a business strategy that is expected to result in greater value for the shareholders;</R>

<R> 3. Requires shareholder approval to be reinstated upon expiration or if amended;</R>

<R> 4. Contains a Permitted Bid Feature; and</R>

<R> 5. Allows the Fidelity Funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.</R>

<R> B. An Anti-Greenmail proposal that does not include other Anti-Takeover Provisions; or</R>

<R> C. It is a fair price amendment that considers a two-year price history or less.</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to eliminate Anti-Takeover Provisions. In the case of proposals to declassify a board of directors, FMR will generally vote against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes include a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.</R>

<R>VI. Capital Structure/Incorporation</R>

<R> A. Increases in Common Stock</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against a provision to increase a company's common stock if such increase will result in a total number of authorized shares greater than three times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares, including stock options, except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase that will result in a total number of authorized shares up to five times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares is generally acceptable.</R>

<R> B. New Classes of Shares</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against the introduction of new classes of stock with differential voting rights.</R>

<R> C. Cumulative Voting Rights</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against the introduction and in favor of the elimination of cumulative voting rights.</R>

<R> D. Acquisition or Business Combination Statutes</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to opt out of the control shares acquisition or business combination statutes.</R>

<R> E. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and vote in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under United States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.</R>

<R>VII. Shares of Investment Companies</R>

<R> B. Certain Fidelity Funds may invest in shares of underlying Fidelity Funds which are held exclusively by Fidelity Funds or accounts managed by an FMR or an affiliate. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals recommended by the underlying funds' Board of Trustees.</R>

<R>VIII. Other</R>

<R> A. Voting Process</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to adopt confidential voting and independent vote tabulation practices.</R>

<R> B. Regulated Industries</R>

<R> Voting of shares in securities of any regulated industry (e.g. U.S. banking) organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the industry's regulator (e.g. the Federal Reserve Board) for a determination under applicable law (e.g. federal banking law) that no fund or group of funds has acquired control of such organization.</R>

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

<R>The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.</R>

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan with respect to shares of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows shares of the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

<R>Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.</R>

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by shares of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of the fund, additional sales of shares of the fund or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

<R>FDC or an affiliate may compensate, or upon direction make payments for certain retirement plan expenses to, intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (including affiliates of FDC). A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, without limitation, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of assets or sales of shares, and other factors. In addition to such payments, FDC or an affiliate may offer other incentives such as sponsorship of educational or client seminars relating to current products and issues, payments or reimbursements for travel and related expenses associated with due diligence trips that an intermediary may undertake in order to explore possible business relationships with affiliates of FDC, and/or payments of costs and expenses associated with attendance at seminars, including travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. Certain of the payments described above may be significant to an intermediary. As permitted by SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules and other applicable laws and regulations, FDC or an affiliate may pay or allow other incentives or payments to intermediaries.</R>

<R>The fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to certain intermediaries (who may be affiliated with the transfer agent) for providing recordkeeping and administrative services to plan participants or for providing other services to retirement plans. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in this SAI for more information.</R>

FDC or an affiliate may also make payments to banks, broker-dealers and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FDC) for distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services. If you have purchased shares of the fund through an investment professional, please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Any of the payments described in this section may represent a premium over payments made by other fund families. Investment professionals may have an added incentive to sell or recommend a fund over others offered by competing fund families, or retirement plan sponsors may take these payments into account when deciding whether to include a fund as a plan investment option.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

<R>The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides transfer agency services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FIIOC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for the fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.</R>

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fee is billed monthly on a pro rata basis at one-twelfth of the applicable annual rate as of the end of each calendar month. The asset-based fee is calculated and paid monthly on the basis of average daily net assets. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

In addition, Citibank receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in certain funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, or a fund of funds' assets that is invested in the fund.

Retirement plans may also hold fund shares in the name of the plan or its trustee, rather than the plan participant. In situations where FIIOC or an affiliate does not provide recordkeeping services, plan recordkeepers, who may have affiliated financial intermediaries who sell shares of the fund, may, upon direction, be paid for providing recordkeeping services to plan participants. Payments may also be made, upon direction, for other plan expenses. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

<R>The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-service agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for the fund and maintaining the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping fees paid to Citibank.</R>

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

FMR bears the cost of transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services and pricing and bookkeeping services under the terms of its management contract with the fund.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

<R>Trust Organization. Fidelity Maryland Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated March 1, 1974. On August 15, 2005, Fidelity Maryland Municipal Income Fund changed its name from Spartan^® Maryland Municipal Income Fund to Fidelity Maryland Municipal Income Fund. Currently, there are two funds offered in the trust: Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund, and Fidelity Maryland Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.</R>

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodian. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

<R>The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference. Total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table may differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights because total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table include any acquired fund fees and expenses, whereas the ratios of expenses in the financial highlights do not. Acquired funds include other investment companies (such as central funds or other underlying funds) in which the fund has invested, if and to the extent it is permitted to do so. Total annual operating expenses in the prospectus fee table and the financial highlights do not include any expenses associated with investments in certain structured or synthetic products that may rely on the exception from the definition of "investment company" provided by section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act.</R>

FUND HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The fund views holdings information as sensitive and limits its dissemination. The Board authorized FMR to establish and administer guidelines for the dissemination of fund holdings information, which may be amended at any time without prior notice. FMR's Disclosure Policy Committee (comprising executive officers of FMR) evaluates disclosure policy with the goal of serving the fund's best interests by striking an appropriate balance between providing information about the fund's portfolio and protecting the fund from potentially harmful disclosure. The Board reviews the administration and modification of these guidelines and receives reports from the fund's chief compliance officer periodically.

The fund will provide a full list of holdings monthly on www.fidelity.com 30 days after the month-end (excluding high income security holdings, which generally will be presented collectively monthly and included in a list of full holdings 60 days after its fiscal quarter-end).

This information will be available on the web site until updated for the next applicable period.

<R>The fund may also from time to time provide or make available to the Board or third parties upon request specific fund level performance attribution information and statistics. Third parties may include fund shareholders or prospective fund shareholders, members of the press, consultants, and ratings and ranking organizations.</R>

The Use of Holdings In Connection With Fund Operations. Material non-public holdings information may be provided as part of the investment activities of the fund to: entities which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the fund, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed; other parties if legally required; or persons FMR believes will not misuse the disclosed information. These entities, parties, and persons include: the fund's trustees; the fund's manager, its sub-advisers and their affiliates whose access persons are subject to a code of ethics; contractors who are subject to a confidentiality agreement; the fund's auditors; the fund's custodians; proxy voting service providers; financial printers; pricing service vendors; broker-dealers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities; securities lending agents; counsel to the fund or its Independent Trustees; regulatory authorities; stock exchanges and other listing organizations; parties to litigation; and third-parties in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding relating to a fund holding. Non-public holdings information may also be provided to an issuer regarding the number or percentage of its shares that are owned by a fund and in connection with redemptions in kind.

Other Uses Of Holdings Information. In addition, the fund may provide material non-public holdings information to (i) third-parties that calculate information derived from holdings for use by FMR or its affiliates, (ii) third parties that supply their analyses of holdings (but not the holdings themselves) to their clients (including sponsors of retirement plans or their consultants), (iii) ratings and rankings organizations, and (iv) an investment adviser, trustee, or their agents to whom holdings are disclosed for due diligence purposes or in anticipation of a merger involving the fund. Each individual request is reviewed by the Disclosure Policy Committee which must find, in its sole discretion that, based on the specific facts and circumstances, the disclosure appears unlikely to be harmful to the fund. Entities receiving this information must have in place control mechanisms to reasonably ensure or otherwise agree that, (a) the holdings information will be kept confidential, (b) no employee shall use the information to effect trading or for their personal benefit, and (c) the nature and type of information that they, in turn, may disclose to third-parties is limited. FMR relies primarily on the existence of non-disclosure agreements and/or control mechanisms when determining that disclosure is not likely to be harmful to the fund.

FMR, its affiliates, or the fund will not enter into any arrangements with third-parties from which they derive consideration for the disclosure of material non-public holdings information. If, in the future, FMR desired to make such an arrangement, it would seek prior Board approval and any such arrangements would be disclosed in the fund's SAI.

There can be no assurance that the fund's policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of fund portfolio holdings will prevent the misuse of such information by individuals and firms that receive such information.

Item 24. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 25. Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the Transfer Agent agrees to indemnify FIIOC for FIIOC's losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) (losses) to the extent that the Transfer Agent is entitled to and receives indemnification from the Fund for the same events. Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold the Transfer Agent harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Trust, including by a shareholder, which names the Transfer Agent and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not result from the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with the Transfer Agent's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from the Transfer Agent's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
