Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Export and Multinational Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Normally investing primarily in securities of U.S. companies that are expected to benefit from exporting or selling their goods or services outside the United States.
  • Potentially investing in securities of foreign issuers and companies that are not export or multinational companies.
  • Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
  • Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
  • Export and Multinational Company Exposure. Export and multinational companies can be significantly affected by political, economic, and regulatory developments in foreign markets.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities 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 of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Performance

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns (<R>before and after taxes</R>) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Export and Multinational Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in securities of U.S. companies that are expected to benefit from exporting or selling their goods or services outside the United States (export and multinational companies). FMR defines export companies to include companies that derive, or FMR anticipates will derive, 10% or more of their annual revenues from sales of exported goods or services or that engage in export-related businesses, such as export trading or export management companies. FMR defines multinational companies to include companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenues or profits from foreign operations or that have a substantial portion of their assets abroad.

The fund's strategy is based on the premise that U.S. export and multinational companies may be well positioned for growth because they often offer products or services that are unique, of higher quality, or less expensive than comparable products or services.

FMR may also invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers and companies that are not export or multinational companies.

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

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types 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 of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, 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 affect the value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Export and Multinational Company Exposure. Export and multinational companies can be significantly affected by foreign markets. Political, economic, regulatory, and currency changes could dramatically affect the demand for a company's products or the cost of producing those products in foreign countries.

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 may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

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

Export and Multinational Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Valuing Shares

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

The fund's <R>net asset value per share (</R>NAV<R>)</R> 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. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the <R>fund</R> is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on <R>those days</R>. 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 market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Shareholder Information

Buying and Selling Shares

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

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 fund through a retirement account (such as an IRA or an account funded through salary deduction) or an investment professional. Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity retirement products. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or 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 the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

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 may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.

For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

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

If you place an order to buy shares and 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.

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 the fund is 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.

Prospectus

Selling Shares

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

The fund will deduct a 0.75% short-term trading fee from the redemption amount if you sell your shares or your shares are redeemed for failure to maintain the balance minimum after holding them less than 30 days. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions.

Trading fees are paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
  • You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
  • You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

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 shares, keep your fund balance above $2,000 to keep your fund position open ($500 for fund balances in retirement accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
  • 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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

  • 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.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

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 temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
  • The fund may refuse any exchange purchases 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, there may be additional requirements.

The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

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

Shareholder Information - continued

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November 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.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($500 for fund balances in retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in the fund's NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading 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.

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

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, 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 pays dividends and capital gain distributions in October and December.

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 the fund:

Prospectus

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 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.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

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

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 taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal 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 Services - continued

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For August 2002, the group fee rate was 0.28</R>%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, was <R>0.58</R>% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East, for providing sub-advisory services. FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 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, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.

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.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

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.

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 (the 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. The fund may not:

(1) 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;

(2) 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;

(3) 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;

(4) 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 investment companies) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(5) 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);

(6) 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);

<R>(7) 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.</R>

(8) The fund may, not withstanding 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 objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

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

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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 fundamental investment limitation (2)<R>)</R>.

(v) 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.

<R>(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)</R>

(vii) 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.

<R>For purposes of limitation (i), 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 investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.</R>

With respect to limitation (v), 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.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management & Research Company (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.

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.

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>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.</R>

<R></R>Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

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 at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Fund's Rights as an Investor. The fund does not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.

<R>Futures, Options, and Swaps. The following paragraphs pertain to futures, options, and swaps: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, Writing Put and Call Options, and Swap Agreements.</R>

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.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and 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 options and 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 options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and 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 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 and 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 options or 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.

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, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index (S&P 500®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

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.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of 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. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. 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. The party that has a gain may be 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 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.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. The fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures 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 and 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 secondary 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 or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of 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 involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call 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.

Writing Put and Call Options. 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 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.

<R></R>Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

<R>In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.</R>

<R>Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price.</R>

<R>The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to 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 a similarly creditworthy party.</R>

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, FMR may consider various factors, 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, currencies, 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.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. 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. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

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. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and 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. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's® (S&P®), or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

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.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

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.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

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.

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 (the 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 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 may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

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 net asset value <R>per share (NAV)</R>. Others are continuously offered at <R>NAV</R>, 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.

Short Sales "Against the Box" are short sales of securities that a fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

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.

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. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

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 will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund <R>may</R> receive commissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided 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. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or 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.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the fund or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with REDIBook ECN LLC <R>(REDIBook) and Archipelago ECN (Archipelago</R>), electronic communication <R>networks (ECNs)</R> in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. Prior to August 28, 2000, FMR placed trades with National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

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 and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were <R>228% </R>and 170%, respectively. Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, or changes in FMR's investment outlook.

The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>3,773,661,</R> $<R>1,371,281</R>, and $<R>2,083,706</R> respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels throughout the year.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>125,168,</R> $<R>128,515</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to NFS. NFS is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, this amounted to approximately <R>3.32</R>% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately 9.23% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFS is a result of the low commission rates charged by NFS.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>0</R>, $<R>0</R>, and $<R>100,018</R> respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>0</R>, $<R>2,080</R>, and $<R>550</R>, respectively, to REDIBook. REDIBook is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the fund paid $<R>3,598,109</R> in brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services involving approximately $<R>2,103,542,580</R> of transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. 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.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.

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 (<R>including proprietary accounts</R>) 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 to be appropriate and equitable to each fund. In some cases this system 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. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

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 depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be 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.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

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 ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. <R>Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax and an after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of the fund's short-term trading fee, or the effect of the fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding the fund's short-term trading fee,</R> or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Moving Averages. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On August 30, 2002, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were <R>$</R>13.80<R> and $</R>15.65 respectively, for the fund.

Historical Fund Results. The following table shows the fund's returns for the fiscal period ended <R>August 31, 2002</R>.

<R>After-tax returns 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. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.</R>

<R>The fund may compare its return to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial SM Average (DJIA SM), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons would show how the fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively. Common stocks generally offer greater growth potential than the fund, but generally experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than an investment such as the fund. The fund has the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.</R>

Performance Comparisons. The fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

The fund may compare its performance to that of the S&P 500, a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and <R>periodicals</R>, as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity <R>publications</R> provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance results.</R>

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron® number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data.

Momentum Indicators indicate the fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of August 31, 200<R>2</R>, FMR advised over $<R>50</R> billion in municipal fund assets, $<R>193</R> billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $<R>188 </R>billion in money market fund assets, $<R>409</R> billion in equity fund assets, and $<R>18</R> billion in international fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

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.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, short-term capital gains, and non-qualifying dividends, the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. A portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities and securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from state and local taxation.

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

As of August 31, 2002, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $<R>48,207,000</R>. This loss carryforward, <R>all </R>of which will expire on August 31, <R>2010</R>, is available to offset future capital gains, subject to certain limitations.

Returns of Capital. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.

Foreign Tax Credit or Deduction. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.

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.

** During the period from November 1, 2000 through September 17, 2002, Mr. Stavropoulos served as a Member of the Advisory Board of Union Street Trust. Effective September 18, 2002, Mr. Stavropoulos serves as a Member of the Board of Trustees <R>of</R> Union Street Trust.

A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001 for 264 funds of 56 trusts in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $111,000; Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $30,723; Ralph F. Cox, $30,723; Ned C. Lautenbach, $38,103; and William O. McCoy, $38,103.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

As of August 31, 2002, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than <R>1</R>% of the fund's total outstanding shares.

As of August 31, 2002, the following owned <R>of record</R> 5% or more (up to and including 25%) of the fund's outstanding shares:

<R>General Motors Corporation, New York, NY (7.82%).</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class 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 stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock 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 Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ). Edward C. Johnson 3d, 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. At present, the primary business activities of FIL 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>FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ (the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 1</R>7j-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.

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, directs 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. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund 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 <R>bears these costs.</R> Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, 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 is also liable for 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 which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $<R>687</R> billion of group net assets - the approximate level for August 2002 - was <R>0.2845</R>%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $<R>687</R> billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.30%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for August 2002, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Fund

Group Fee Rate

Individual Fund Fee Rate

Management Fee Rate

<R>Export and Multinational

0.2845%

+

0.30%

=

0.5845%</R>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FMR management fees of <R>$3,722,448</R>, <R>$2,927,765</R>, and <R>$2,807,117</R>, respectively.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses)<R>,</R> 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 the fund's returns, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns.

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has primary responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for the fund, FMR pays FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FMRC are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, FMR paid FMRC fees of <R>$1,861,555</R> and $979,094, respectively.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIJ. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States <R>(non-discretionary services)</R> and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund (<R>discretionary services)</R>.

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

  • FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services.
  • FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing discretionary investment management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

  • FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
  • FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 105% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advisory and order execution services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing<R> non-discretionary </R>investment advice and research services, fees paid to FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

<R>Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.</R>

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of the fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of the fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers'management of the relationships with the fund's custodians and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.</R>

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contract and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including the fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of the fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to the fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. <R>The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109</R>. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, 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.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, FDC collected sales charge revenue of $<R>0,</R> $0, and <R>$</R>59,205, respectively, on purchases of fund shares and, of these amounts, retained $<R>0</R>, $0, and $59,192, respectively.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf 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 the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

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 fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Export and Multinational shares.

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 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 fund shares, additional sales of fund shares 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.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FSC also collects 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, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (<R>QTP</R>), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the <R>QTP</R>'s, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC 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.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.

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

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0365% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0155% of average net assets between $500 million and $3 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00075% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee, not including reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of $60,000 per year.

For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for related out-of-pocket expenses, of $<R>206,508</R>, <R>$183,289</R>, and <R>$189,801</R>, respectively.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FSC <R>$1,780</R>, <R>$510</R>, and <R>$626</R>, respectively, for securities lending.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 1, 1974. On May 1, 1997, Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund changed its name from Fidelity Export Fund to Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund. Currently, there are <R>three</R> funds in the trust: Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund, Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund, and Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

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.

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.

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. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate 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.

Custodians. <R>JPMorgan Chase Bank,</R> <R>270 Park Avenue</R>, New York, New York is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The Bank of New York, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

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.

Auditor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, <R>160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts,</R> serves as independent accountant for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended August 31, <R>2002</R>, and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

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

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

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

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following 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 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 the 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.

Investment Objective

Spartan 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's principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in <R>investment-grade</R> municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona personal income taxes.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index, which as of August 31, <R>2002, </R>was the Lehman Brothers® Arizona 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index.

Prospectus

Fund Summary - continued

  • 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 a security's structural features and current pricing, trading opportunities, and the credit quality of its issuer to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities 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 of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

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. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.

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

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in municipal money market <R>securities</R>.

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 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.

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 requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of the fund's investments. <R>FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal money market securities by investing in other funds. FMR stresses maintaining a stable $1.00</R> share price, liquidity, and income.

Investment Objective

Spartan 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. <R>The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality).</R> Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Arizona 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.

<R>FMR uses an index that represents the market for the types of securities in which the fund invests as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. As of August 31, 2002, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers Arizona 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of August 31, 2002, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 12.7 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 13.6 years.</R>

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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 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 buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its estimated long-term value, any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit quality of its issuer.

<R>FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices,</R> interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. <R>FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds. </R>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 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.

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.

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.

<R>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.</R>

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 of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

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.

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.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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.

Geographic Concentration. While Arizona's economy recovered from a slow-down in growth in the late 80's and early 90's with an expansion that is now in its <R>ninth</R> year, the rate of growth is expected to slow.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, 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 affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to these changes than higher-quality debt securities. 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 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.

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 a fund's performance, and a fund could distribute income subject to federal or Arizona personal income tax.

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 exempt from Arizona personal income tax.

Prospectus

Valuing Shares

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

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. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days <R>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</R> 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 after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

There is no minimum balance or initial or subsequent purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory Services SM or a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. In addition, each fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

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.

<R>A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.</R>

<R>For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and</R> by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may b<R>e disruptive to that fund</R>. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

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

If you place an order to buy shares and 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.

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 a fund is 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.

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 Spartan Arizona Municipal Income is the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

<R>Spartan Arizona Municipal Income will deduct a 0.50% short-term trading fee from the redemption amount if you sell your shares or your shares are redeemed for failure to maintain the balance minimum after holding them less than 30 days. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of </R>distributions.

Trading fees are paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. <R>Y</R>our request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
  • You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
  • You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.

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 A<R>rizona Municipal Money Marke</R>t 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 Spartan 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.
  • Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

  • 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.
  • If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and you sell shares by writing a check, the NAV and any applicable short-term trading fee will be determined on the date the check is received. If the amount of the check, plus any applicable fees, is greater than the value of your fund position, your check will be returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

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.

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:

  • Spartan Arizona Municipal Income may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • Each fund may refuse <R>any exchange purchases for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse </R>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.
  • Currently, there is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Arizona Municipal Money Market.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number, there may be additional requirements.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November 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.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 for Arizona Municipal Money Market or $5,000 for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income, for any reason, including solely due to declines in a fund's NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Fund Management

Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.

FMR is each fund's manager. <R>The address of FMR and its affiliates, unless otherwise indicated below, is 82 Devon</R>shire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

As of <R>March 28, 2002</R>, FMR had approximately $<R>13.6</R> billion in discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing each fund's investments and handling its business affairs.

Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), <R>at One Spartan Way, </R>Merrimack, New Hampshire 03054, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. FIMM is primarily responsible for choosing investments for each fund.

FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of <R>March 28, 2002</R>, FIMM had approximately $<R>330.6</R> billion in discretionary assets under management.

Christine J. Thompson is vice president and manager of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income<R> Fund</R>, which she has managed since July 1998. She also manages other Fidelity funds whose shares are not offered through this prospectus. Since joining Fidelity <R>Investments</R> in 1985, Ms. Thompson has worked as a senior research analyst and manager.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays all of the other expenses of each fund with limited exceptions.

Arizona Municipal Money Market's and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income's annual management fee rate is<R> 0.50</R>% and <R>0.55</R>%, respectively, of its average net assets.

FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management fees above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, <R>which may be discontinued by FMR at any time,</R> can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes each fund's shares.

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 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, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments.

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.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

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.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

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 statement of additional information (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 (the 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.

Investment Limitations of Fidelity® Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) 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;

(2) 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;

(3) 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;

(4) <R>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</R> the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies;

(5) 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;

(6) 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);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments; or

<R>(8) 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.</R>

(9) 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.

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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 fundamental investment limitation (3)).

(v) 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.

(vi) 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.

(vii) 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.

<R>For purposes of limitations (1) and (5) and (i), 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 </R>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 limitation (i), 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.

With respect to limitation (v), 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.

Investment Limitations of Spartan<R>®</R> Arizona Municipal Income Fund

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) 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;

(2) 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;

(3) 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;

(4) 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 the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(5) 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);

(6) 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); or

(7) <R>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 purc</R>hases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

(8) 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.

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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 fundamental investment limitation (2)).

(v) 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.

(vi) 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.

(vii) 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 objectives, policies, and limitations as the fund.

For purposes of limitation (i), 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<R>,</R> 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.

<R>For purposes of limitations (4) and (i), 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.</R>

With respect to limitation (v), 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.

For the fund's limitations on futures<R>, </R>options<R>, and swap</R> transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures, Options<R>,</R> <R>and</R> <R>Swap </R>Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

<R>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. F</R>MR 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 o<R>r short-term bond funds</R>. 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.

<R>Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.</R>

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.

Futures, Options, and Swaps. The following paragraphs pertain to futures<R>,</R> options, and swaps: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures<R>,</R> Options<R>, and Swap</R> Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, Writing Put and Call Options, and Swap<R> Agreements</R>.

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.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and 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 options and 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 options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and 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 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 and 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 options or 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.

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, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index, and some are based on <R>Eurodollars. </R>Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

<R>Positions in Eurodollars futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates</R>.

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.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of 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. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. 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. The party that has a gain may be 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 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.

Limitations on Futures<R>,</R> Options, and Swap Transactions. The bond fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the bond fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, write call options,<R> or enter into swap agreements</R> if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and<R>/or</R> options<R> and/or swap agreements </R>under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts<R>,</R> write put options<R>, or enter into swap agreements (other than swaps entered into for hedging purposes under (a))</R> if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options <R>plus the notional amount of any such swaps </R>would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to<R> futures,</R> options<R>, or swaps</R>.

The above limitations on the bond f<R>und's</R> investments in futures contracts<R>,</R> options<R>, and swaps</R>, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts<R>, </R>options<R>, and swaps</R> discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures 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 and 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 secondary 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 or futures positions could also be impaired.

OTC Options. 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 involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call 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.

Writing Put and Call Options. 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 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.

<R>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.</R>

<R>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.</R>

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to pay fixed rates in exchange for floating rates while holding fixed-rate bonds, the swap would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to long-term interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. 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.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to 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 a similarly creditworthy party.

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, FMR may consider various factors, 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 vice versa. The prices of inverse floaters can be considerably more volatile than the prices of bonds with comparable maturities.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's<R>®</R> (S&P<R>®</R>), or Fitch 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.

<R>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 fund. </R>

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, 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, 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.

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.

Principal Municipal Bond Insurers. The various insurance companies providing primary and secondary market insurance policies for municipal bonds are described below. Ratings reflect each respective rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of an insurer and the insurer's ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the time of the assessment.

Ambac Assurance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial Group Inc., is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Ambac Assurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

Connie Lee Insurance Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connie Lee Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Assurance Corp. All losses incurred by Connie Lee Insurance Co. that would cause its statutory capital to drop below $75 million would be covered by Ambac Assurance Corp. Connie Lee Insurance Co. is authorized to provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Connie Lee Insurance Co. are rated "AAA" by S&P.

Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. (FGIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GE Capital Services, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Bonds insured by FGIC are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

Financial Security Assurance Inc. (FSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Financial Security Assurance Holdings Ltd., is authorized to provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories. Bonds insured by FSA are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corp. (MBIA Insurance Corp.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc., a publicly-owned company, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by MBIA Insurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

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 net asset value per share (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 (the 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.

<R></R>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.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, 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 liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider 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 entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

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.

Temporary Defensive Policies. Each 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.

Tender Option Bonds are created by coupling an intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate, municipal bond (generally held pursuant to a custodial arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder the option to tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for providing the tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees equal to the difference between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the rate (determined by a remarketing or similar agent) that would cause the bond, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date of such determination. After payment of the tender option fee, a fund effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond, the custodian, and the third party provider of the tender option. In certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender option if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.

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

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. Obligations of the State or local governments may also be affected by budgetary pressures affecting the State and economic conditions in the State. The following highlights only some of the more significant financial trends, and is based on information drawn from reports prepared by State Budget officials, official statements and prospectuses relating to securities offerings of or on behalf of the State of Arizona, its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions, and other publicly available documents, as available on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. 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 inaccurate.

Constitutional Limitations On Taxes, Expenditures and Revenue Increases

Limitations on 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. The taxing powers of Arizona local governments and districts are limited by Arizona Law. Arizona's property tax system was substantially revised by 1980 amendments to the Arizona Constitution and implementing legislation. 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.

Expenditures 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 Revenue Increases. In November of 1992 an amendment to the Constitution of Arizona was approved by the voters and signed by the Governor. The amendment 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 shall 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.

Obligations of the State of Arizona

<R>Under the Arizona Constitution, the State's power to contract debt is limited to an amount of not more than $350,000 to supply casual deficits or failures in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for. In addition to that authority, the State may borrow money to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the State in time of war.</R>

<R>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. Payments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, for the bonded indebtedness of various State agencies, boards, departments and instrumentalities (including the Department of Transportation and State educational institutions) will total approximately $399.12 million. Payments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, for outstanding Certificates of Participation of State agencies and instrumentalities will total approximately $53.19 million.</R>

<R>As part of the State's plan for addressing budgetary shortfalls for fiscal year 2002-03, legislation was enacted during the 2002 Legislative session authorizing the State School Facilities Board (the "SFB") to enter into lease-purchase agreements to finance school construction in public schools throughout the State. The legislation authorizes the SFB to enter into such transactions in an amount not to exceed $400,000,000 in fiscal year 2002-03, and not to exceed $200,000,000 in any subsequent fiscal year. Annual payments under any such lease-purchase agreements entered into by the SFB are subject to annual appropriations by the Legislature.</R>

Economy

<R>Arizona has been, and is projected to continue to be, 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. From 1980 to 2000, the State's population grew approximately 89% and on January 1, 2000, was estimated at 5.13 million.</R>

<R>Geographically, Arizona is the nation's sixth largest state. 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>

Recent State Financial Results

<R>Revenues and Expenditures - Fiscal Year 2001. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, total State revenues were below budgeted revenues by approximately 1.5%, while expenditures were approximately 1.6% lower than budgeted expenditures. The total General Fund balance as reported in the State's comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 was $1.380 billion at year end. The ending budgeted General Fund balance (generally equivalent to cash accounting) for fiscal year 2000-01 was approximately $13.3 million.</R>

<R>Total general fund revenues increased 6.5%, from $10.676 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 to $11.366 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. During the same period, the portion of General Fund revenues derived from taxes (such as sales, income, property, etc.) increased 3.1%. For the fiscal year 2000-01, sales and use taxes and other excise taxes accounted for approximately 33% of the general fund revenues, income taxes represented approximately 25.3%, intergovernmental revenues provided approximately 34.2%, and all other revenues represented approximately 7.5%.</R>

<R>For the fiscal year 2000-01, total General Fund expenditures were $10.571 billion, an increase of 8.8% from the preceding fiscal year. These expenditures fell into the following major categories: education (approximately 32.8%), health and welfare (approximately 43.1%), protection and safety (approximately 7.6%), general government (approximately 15.0%) and other (approximately 1.5%).</R>

<R></R>Revenues and Expenditures - Fiscal Year 2002. Like many states, Arizona faced budgetary constraints as a result of a recession that started in the spring of 2001 and was further impacted by the events of September 11, 2001.

<R>During the budget development process for the biennium for fiscal years 2001-02 and 2002-03, it was recognized that further adjustments to the budget would be necessary if the economy continued to deteriorate.</R>

<R>By the beginning of fiscal year 2001-02 (July 2, 2001) it was apparent that some level of changes would be necessary in the amounts appropriated for the biennium. As a result of reduced revenues, the State ended fiscal year 2000-01 with a $13 million General Fund ending balance instead of $100 million as originally budgeted. As a result, the Governor notified all agencies that the equal quarterly allotments of appropriated funds for fiscal year 2001-02 would be changed and 4% of the amount appropriated for the fiscal year would be deferred to the fourth quarter allotment. On September 4, 2001, the Governor asked all cabinet agencies to develop spending reduction plans equal to 4% of their appropriated General Funds. On September 13, 2001, the Governor issued a special session call to the State Legislature for November 13, 2001 to address the biennial budget and make further reductions.</R>

<R>The original legislative forecast for fiscal year 2001-02 estimated revenues of $6.56 billion. For the November 2001 special session, both the Executive and Legislative budget staffs used estimates of $5.99 billion.</R>

<R>The State Legislature debated the biennium budget in the November 2001 special session for over a month. Ultimately, a combination of spending reductions, use of moneys in the State's Budget Stabilization Fund, transfers of moneys from other State funds to the General Fund, and various revenue adjustments were enacted to address the estimated fiscal year 2001-02 budget shortfall. In addition, the State Legislature repealed the entire fiscal year 2002-03 enacted budget and decided to wait until a planned spring 2002 special session before addressing this second year of the original biennial plan.</R>

<R>By the end of January 2002, reduced withholding, corporate income and sales tax collections in the current year indicated that the State Legislature would need to make additional changes to the revised fiscal year 2001-02 appropriated budget.</R>

<R>In April 2002, the State Legislature enacted a budget compromise to further reduce the fiscal year 2001-02 budget that was passed during the November 2001 special session. In addition to reducing a scheduled 5% State employee pay increase, the Legislature reduced operating budgets of State agencies, transferred funds from the Budget Stabilization Fund to the General Fund and made other temporary fund shifts to the General Fund.</R>

<R></R>Revenues and Expenditures - Fiscal Year 2003. As noted above, the Legislature repealed the entire fiscal year 2002-03 enacted budget in November of 2001. This action was taken in order to have more current tax and revenue collection information at the time a new budget was addressed in the spring of 2002.

<R>As of March of 2002, based on continued weakness in both the national and state economy, a revised forecast of revenues for fiscal year 2002-03 was made. Ultimately, a budget was enacted for fiscal year 2002-03 that reflected a combination of measures to address the reductions in estimated revenues. These measures included a reduction in the amounts appropriated in the original fiscal year 2002-03 budget, deferral to fiscal year 2003-04 of fiscal year 2002-03 funding for public schools, use of moneys in the State's Budget Stabilization Fund, transfers of moneys from other State funds to the General Fund, and the use of lease-purchase financing to fund the State's obligation to construct new schools.</R>

<R>It is uncertain whether State revenue collections will be sufficient to meet the General Fund appropriations contained in the enacted budget for fiscal year 2002-03. As of May 2002, preliminary revenue collections for the three primary General Fund categories - Transportation Privilege (Sales) Taxes, Individual Income Taxes and Corporate Income Taxes - were $53 million below the March 2002 forecast used in developing the enacted fiscal year 2002-03 budget.</R>

<R>Additional budgetary adjustments may be required to address fiscal year 2002-03 budgetary shortfalls. The Governor has indicated her intention to call a special session of the Legislature in the fall of 2002 for that purpose. It is not possible at this time to predict either the amount of any projected shortfalls or what actions might be taken by the State Legislature.</R>

<R></R>"Rainy Day Fund." In 1990 the Legislature enacted a formula-based Budget Stabilization Fund into which deposits are required to be made during years of "above-trend" economic growth, for use in "below-trend" periods. Both deposits and withdrawals are determined by a formula based upon total annual Arizona personal income as adjusted for inflation, provided that withdrawals from the Fund may occur only when annual income growth is both below 2% and below the seven-year average trend. The Legislature by a two-thirds vote can override the formula and approve a withdrawal. The intent of this limit on withdrawals is to avoid withdrawals from the fund when annual growth levels are gradually declining after an extended high growth period. After transfers made to cover budget shortfalls in fiscal 2002, the fund contains approximately $50 million. Further legislative action is expected to modify the budget for current fiscal year 2003. It is not possible at this time to predict the impact of that action on the Budget Stabilization Fund.

Obligations of Other Issuers

Assessment Bonds. 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 which 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 the only security for such bonds.

Lease-Purchase Obligations. Certain Arizona lease-purchase obligations, though payable from the General Fund of the State or municipality, are subject to annual appropriation by the applicable governing body in amounts sufficient to pay the lease. Nonappropriation 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.

Other Considerations. 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 AHCCCS (the State's indigent health care program).

As noted above under "Recent State Financial Results," the Governor has called a special session of the State Legislature for November 2001 to consider whether revisions in the State budget for Fiscal Year 2002 and 2003 will be required to address possible shortfalls from forecasted State revenues over those fiscal years. Such revisions could include reductions in amounts distributed to cities, towns, and counties. Such reductions could put pressure on the budgets of such political subdivisions. It is not possible at this time to predict either the amount of any projected shortfalls or what actions might be taken by the State Legislature or the effect of any such actions on local governments.

Legislation has been or may be introduced which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures. It is not presently 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

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. FMR has not independently verified any of the information contained in such official statements, prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware of any fact which would render such information materially inaccurate.

The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United States (the "U.S." ) In fiscal 2000, trade with the U.S. accounted for approximately 88% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 56% of its imports. In this regard, in fiscal 2000 Puerto Rico experienced a $11.4 billion positive adjusted merchandise trade balance.

Gross product in fiscal 1996 was $30.4 billion and gross product in fiscal 2000 was $41.4 billion ($34.8 billion in 1996 prices). This represents an increase in gross product of 36.3% from fiscal 1996 to 2000 (14.7% in 1996 prices).

Since fiscal 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal 2000, aggregate personal income was $38.2 billion ($34.6 billion in 1996 prices) and personal per capita income was $9,870 ($8,925 in 1996 prices). Personal income includes transfer payments to individuals in Puerto Rico under various social programs. Total federal payments to Puerto Rico, which 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. Transfer payments to individuals in fiscal 2000 were $7.6 billion, of which $5.7 billion, or 75.1%, represented entitlements to individuals who had previously performed services or made contributions under programs such as Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions.

Puerto Rico's economic expansion, which has lasted over ten years, continued throughout the five-year period from fiscal 1996 through fiscal 2000. Almost every sector of the economy participated, and record levels of employment were achieved. Factors behind this expansion included government-sponsored economic development programs, periodic declines in the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, increases in the level of federal transfers, the relatively low cost of borrowing funds, and, until recently, low oil prices.

The performance of the economy during fiscal 2001 was affected principally by the performance of the U.S. economy and by the level of oil prices and the level of interest rates. The change in the Federal Reserve monetary policy to lower interest rates embodies a positive impact for the Commonwealth's economy, primarily its construction industry. Since Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports for its energy needs, if oil prices remain at their current high level for a long period of time, that could have an adverse effect on the level of economic activity in Puerto Rico.

The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal 2000 averaged 1,159,470. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical levels, remains above the average for the U.S.

Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy are manufacturing and services. During the period between fiscal 1996 and 2000, the manufacturing and services sectors generated the largest portion of gross domestic product. Three sectors of the economy provide the most employment: manufacturing, services, and government. Manufacturing is the largest sector of the Puerto Rico economy accounting, in terms of gross domestic product, for $26.3 billion or 43.8% of gross domestic product in fiscal 1999. The Planning Board estimates that in fiscal 2000 manufacturing generated $27.4 billion or 43.5% of gross domestic product. The manufacturing sector employed 140,555 workers as of March 2000. 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. Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during earlier phases of industrial development. In the last two decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift is best exemplified by heavy investment in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, computers, microprocessors, medical products, and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico over the last decade. While total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 12,718 from March 1997 to March 2000, other indicators of the manufacturing sector suggest that manufacturing production increased. Average weekly hours worked increased 6%, industrial energy consumption increased 6.2%, and exports increased 63.5% from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 2000. Thus, the reduction in manufacturing employment occurred during a period of significant expansion in real manufacturing output, as reflected in the growth of exports. This trend suggests a significant increase in manufacturing productivity. Most of the decreases in employment have been concentrated in the labor-intensive industries, particularly apparel, textile, and tuna manufacturing. In fiscal 2000, 73 manufacturing plants closed their operations, and the number of jobs lost from those closings amounted to 2,691, compared to 54 plant closings and 2,369 jobs lost in fiscal 1999. When compared to the reduction of employment in the U.S. manufacturing sector, the sharper reduction in Puerto Rico is probably due to the island's larger share of employment in declining industries. Employment commitments from companies making new investments and from companies expanding their existing operations increased 51.2% from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000. For fiscal 2000, commitments for new employment and new investment (machinery and equipment) amounted to 29,275 and $835.3 million, respectively.

Puerto Rico has experienced significant growth in the services sector, in terms of both income and employment, over the past decade, showing a favorable trend as compared with certain other industrialized economics. The services sector, which includes wholesale and retail trade and finance, insurance, real estate, hotels and related services, and other services, ranks second only to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and leads all sectors in providing employment. In fiscal 2000, services generated $23.4 billion of gross domestic product or 37.0% of the total. Employment in the services sector grew from 526,720 in fiscal 1996 to 587,438 in fiscal 2000, a cumulative increase of 11.5%. This increase was greater than the 6.2% cumulative growth in total employment over the same period. During the period between fiscal 1996 and fiscal 2000, the gross domestic product in this sector increased at an annual average rate of 6.6%, while employment increased at an annual average rate of 2.2%. The development of the services sector has shown a strong interaction among the following important sectors: manufacturing, tourism, construction, and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base.

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. A major element in the diversification efforts is the further development of the local services sector, which has the capacity to increase its export potential and to generate more income and jobs during the coming years.

Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate have experienced significant growth in the fiscal 1996 to 2000 period, as measured by gross domestic product. Gross domestic product in wholesale and retail trade increased from $6.3 billion in fiscal 1996 to $8.4 billion in fiscal 2000. In finance, insurance, and real estate, gross domestic product increased from $6.2 billion in fiscal 1996 to $8.9 billion in fiscal 2000. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico of which one is a U.S. major money center bank, three are foreign banks, one is a national bank from Florida, and thirteen are local banks and trust companies. Total assets of these institutions as of December 31, 2000 were $54.8 billion. In addition, five major securities firms operate in the island.

The government sector of the Commonwealth plays an important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 2000, the government accounted for $5.5 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 8.7% of the total, and provided 245,865 jobs or 21.5% of the total employment. Government sector employment does not include employment by public corporations, which employment is included in other sectors. These public corporations include significant employers such as the Electric Power Authority and the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. The government's (including the central government, the public corporations, and the municipalities) share of payroll employment, measured according to the payroll survey, has diminished from 34.9% in fiscal 1981, to 33.6% in fiscal 1990, to 26.5% in fiscal 2000.

On February 25, 1998, legislation was enacted permitting the unionization of government employees (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; annual salary increases are limited; employees cannot be required to become union members and pay union dues; and collective bargaining negotiations cannot occur in an election year. Negotiations of non-economic conditions with government employees pursuant to this bill commenced in fiscal 2000 and negotiations of economic conditions commenced in fiscal 2001.

The construction industry has experienced substantial real growth since fiscal 1987. During the period from fiscal 1996 through fiscal 1999 construction investment increased 62%. In fiscal 2000, investment in construction rose to an unprecedented $7.0 billion, an increase of 7.3% as compared to $6.6 billion in fiscal 1999. The strong growth in the construction industry resulted from increased public and private investment in the past few years. During fiscal year 2000, the total value of construction permits increased 52.1% and cement sales decreased 3.5% in comparison with fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2000, the average employment in the construction sector was 84,886, an increase of 9.2% over fiscal 1999.

Nominal public investment in key infrastructure projects increased 9.1% in fiscal 1999 and 5.7% in fiscal 1998. Private construction investment, particularly in housing and hotels, increased 41.0% in fiscal 1999 and 25.9% in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999 private construction investment exceeded public investment for the first time since 1974. The growth in private construction investment during fiscal 1999 is attributable primarily to the high level of housing reconstruction carried out in response to the damages caused by Hurricane Georges. During fiscal year 1999, the total value of construction permits increased 17.2% and cement sales increased 6.7% in comparison with fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, the average employment in the construction sector was 77,771, an increase of 12.7% over fiscal 1998. The Planning Board's construction investment forecast for fiscal 2000, made in July 1999, projected a nominal increase of 11.9% attributable primarily to the construction of large infrastructure projects, commercial projects and other investments related to the damages caused by Hurricane Georges. The expansion in the construction sector continued in fiscal year 2000. The growth in this sector is illustrated by a significant growth of 52.1% in the total value of permits.

Tourism also contributes significantly to the island economy, accounting for 3.8% of the island's gross domestic product in fiscal 2000, compared to 3.7% in fiscal 1999. Visitors' expenditures and the number of visitors to the island had grown consistently from 1985 to 1998, reaching $2.2 billion, and more than 4.6 million, respectively, in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, however, the number of visitors to the island decreased to 4.2 million and visitors' expenditures decreased to $2.1 billion, a decrease of 4.2% compared to fiscal 1998, due in part to the effect of Hurricane Georges, which struck the island in September 1998. The number of persons registered in tourist hotels during fiscal 2000, however, increased 1.4% over the number registered for fiscal 1999. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal 2000 was 74.3% compared to 75.4% in fiscal 1999. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 1.7% during fiscal 2000 compared with fiscal 1999. These increases are due in part to the increased marketing by the government of Puerto Rico, the trends in U.S. economy, and increased hotel usage by Puerto Rico residents. Since fiscal 1992, a number of major hotels have undergone substantial renovation and more than 2,680 new rooms have been added with the opening of several major hotels. Various international hotel corporations have recently made substantial capital investments to develop additional tourist facilities. As of June 30, 2000, the total number of hotel rooms was 11,928 with the completion and renovation of several new hotels.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2001 the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 994,000, an increase of 7.8% over the number registered for the same period in fiscal 2000. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during this period was 68% compared to 73.4% in fiscal 2000. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 1.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared with the same period of fiscal 2000.

San Juan has become the largest homeport for cruise ships in the Caribbean and the second largest homeport for cruise ships in the world.

The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and quality of produce, and stimulating import substitution where economically feasible. During fiscal 2000, gross income from agriculture was $810.1 million, an increase of 13.5% in comparison with fiscal 1999. Agriculture gross income consists of the total value of production in the principal agricultural sectors, which include traditional crops, cattle products, farinaceous vegetables, fruits, and other products. Recently, cattle products, non-traditional crops, and livestock products have contributed a higher percentage of the sector's income.

The government of Puerto Rico 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, approved December 1, 1995, increased the tax benefits available to bona fide farmers. The Act 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 to be issued by financial institutions to provide financing to agricultural business. Subsequent legislation imposed an aggregate annual limitation of $15 million on the investment tax credits available under Act. No. 225.

Since fiscal 1995, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has sold various agricultural operations previously conducted by governmental entities to private entities. These sales included certain assets of the pineapple processing operation and a mango growing facility. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has also transferred the sugar processing facilities formerly operated by the Sugar Corporation to local private sugarcane growers.

Policy changes will be implemented to promote employment and income generated by the agricultural sector. The policy initiatives being considered are restructuring the Department of Agriculture, increasing government purchases of local agricultural products, and a new system of agricultural credits and subsidies for new projects.

Sila M. Calderón was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico on January 2, 2001. She obtained a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from Manhattanville College in New York and a Master's in Business Administration from the University of Puerto Rico. Since 1973, she has worked in the public sector as Executive Assistant of the Labor Secretary, Special Assistant to the Governor of Puerto Rico, Chief of Staff of the Governor of Puerto Rico, and Secretary of State. In the private sector, she has worked as an executive in charge of business development for Citibank, N.A., President of the Commonwealth Investment Company Inc., and a member of the Board of Directors of BanPonce, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Pueblo International, Inc. In 1996, she was elected as mayor of the municipality of San Juan.

The Commonwealth's economic development program is based on the fundamental, interrelated changes in technology, demographics, and institutions, which are transforming the global economy. These changes provide the challenges and opportunities that encompass the economic development strategy.

The Commonwealth's goal is to target basic, export industries that can make the maximum net contribution to the Commonwealth's growth and competitiveness in the globalizing economy. Although the global share of manufacturing in the gross domestic product is in secular decline, this is largely due to the higher rate of productivity growth in this sector. Manufacturing remains by far the largest source of growth in international trade in goods and services and is also the source of demand for the growing business services sector. Services sector growth is also a primary source of demand for certain manufactured capital goods.

Puerto Rico is experiencing the effects of a demographic transition, which is causing a reduction in the net number of new entrants into the working-age population. Although the Commonwealth still has large job creation needs due to high unemployment, low labor force participation, and out-migration, the declining growth rate for the working-age population makes the financing of necessary improvements in human capital and infrastructure more feasible.

The Commonwealth intends to exploit this demographic transition to move up-market into more productive employment. The island can leverage its position as a surplus labor region in the U.S. market, while positioning itself as a bi-lingual, bi-cultural interface for the Americas.

The economic program is based on: (1) Jump-starting the manufacturing sector; (2) Regionalizing (decentralizing) economic development planning and implementation; and (3) "Operación Manos Tecnológicas" to enable industries to acquire and develop more advanced technologies.

Initiatives to achieve the economic program objectives have begun in the following five areas: (1) Puerto Rico legislation; (2) institutional development; (3) new promotional strategies; (4) refocused strategic projects; and (5) federal legislative proposals.

Puerto Rico Legislation. Legislative initiatives include laws introduced or under development to extend the benefits of the 1998 Tax Incentives Act to all eligible business operating under previous tax incentives laws. These benefits include 200% deductions for research and development expenses; worker training; and the ability to deduct, as a current expense, investments in machinery and equipment. Other legislative proposals include legislation to reduce the capital gains tax from 20% to 10% for eligible Commonwealth investments, a revision of real estate investment trust ("REIT") legislation, and additional tax incentives to promote initial public offerings ("IPOs") of local companies.

Institutional Development. The Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company ("PRIDCO") has been reorganized into five major departmental areas and three offices that report directly to the Executive Director. All promotional offices (Continental, Foreign, Puerto Rico, and Industrial Services) are consolidated into a single area, into which the Office of Science and Technology also has been integrated. A Strategic Planning function has been added to the Economic Analysis Area.

The Export Promotion Company ("PROMO EXPORT") has been integrated into the Commercial Development Administration in order to insure that overall programs for small business development complement export assistance for those firms.

The Tourism Company and the Commonwealth offices that gather Puerto Rico's economic statistics are also undergoing reorganization.

An extensive program for the revitalization of urban centers is being implemented to help meet the economic goals of job creation, efficiency, and equity for low-income families. Bringing jobs to urban areas that already have infrastructure for utilities saves on public sector investment requirements, and reduces transportation time and costs for workers and businesses. Revitalized urban centers enhance the quality of life for residents and for all consumers of urban culture and commerce. This program will include creating micro-enterprise incubators and targeting wage incentives under the "Valempleo" program to focus on urban revitalization projects.

New Promotional Strategies. Promotional strategies for economic development will build on Puerto Rico's competitive strengths provided by the Commonwealth's fiscal autonomy, which allows it to grant tax and financial incentives. The primary focus will be on competitive manufacturing clusters in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical instruments, and electronics and information technologies products. One objective is to expand the base of suppliers of intermediate products and professional services available to these clusters. Another goal is to use technology development resources to expand the capabilities of competitive cluster manufacturers in new product development and start-up enterprises. The Commonwealth is positioned to be a center of manufacturing and services at the crossroads of the Americas.

Refocused Strategic Projects. Strategic projects include a transshipment port complex targeted for the South coast to be known as the "Port of the Americas" and the Golden Triangle tourism/convention center/world trade complex in San Juan.

Federal Legislative Proposals. The Commonwealth has developed a proposal calling for an amendment to the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to provide a new and permanent tax regime applicable to U.S.-based businesses that have operations in the Commonwealth or other U.S. possessions. This new regime will be based on the tax rules generally applied by Congress to U.S. corporations with international operations, but with certain modifications intended to promote employment in both the Commonwealth and the U.S.

Factors promoting the development of the manufacturing sector in Puerto Rico include various local and federal tax incentives, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program and Sections 30A and 936 of the Code. New tax and other incentives have been established to promote the development of the tourism industry. These incentives are summarized below.

Since 1948, Puerto Rico has promulgated various industrial incentive laws designed to stimulate industrial investment. 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 industrial incentives laws is Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997 (the "1998 Tax Incentives Law"), a new industrial incentives law aimed at attracting and retaining foreign investment in Puerto Rico.

The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Law 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. Activities eligible for tax exemption include manufacturing, certain designated services performed for markets outside Puerto Rico, the production of energy from local renewable sources for consumption in Puerto Rico, and laboratories for scientific and industrial research. For companies qualifying thereunder, the 1998 Tax Incentives Law imposes income tax rates ranging from 2% to 7% for periods ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition, it grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption from municipal license taxes during the first eighteen months of operation and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from municipal excise taxes. The 1998 Tax Incentives Law also provides various special deductions designated to stimulate employment and productivity, research and development, and capital investment in Puerto Rico.

Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Law, companies are able to repatriate or distribute their profits free of dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico Financial Institutions, obligations of the government of Puerto Rico, 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 equal to 30% of their proportionate share in the exempted business' 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 a 4% income tax rate.

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, provides exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to 10 years. In addition, it provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in hotel development projects.

As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the government of Puerto Rico established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of GDB with the authority to make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry. The Fund was initially capitalized with $50,000,000 and was authorized to provide financial guarantees for financing hotel development projects. To date the Fund has provided financial guarantees to private entities issuing bonds or borrowing funds to finance the development of thirteen hotel projects that provided approximately 3,000 new hotel rooms.

U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico have been subject to special tax provisions since the Revenue Act of 1921. Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1976, Section 931 of the Code provided that U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico would be taxed only on income arising from sources within the U.S. and were entitled to exclude income from sources outside of the U.S., if for the three-year period immediately preceding the end of the taxable year: (i) 80% or more of the gross income of the corporation was derived from sources within Puerto Rico; and (ii) 50% or more of their gross income was derived from active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto Rico.

The Tax Report Act of 1976 created Section 936 of the 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. Amendments to Section 936 made in 1993 (the "1993 Amendments") instituted two alternative methods for calculating the tax credit and limited the amount of the credit that a qualifying company could claim. These limitations are based on a percentage of qualifying income (the "percentage of income limitation") and on qualifying expenditures on wages, other wage related benefits, and other qualifying expenditures (the "economic activity limitation," also known as the "wage credit limitation"). As a result of additional amendments made in 1996 (the "1996 Amendments"), as described below, the tax credit is now being phased out over a ten-year period for existing claimants and is no longer available for corporations that establish operations in Puerto Rico after October 13, 1995 (including existing Section 936 Corporations (as defined below) to the extent substantially new operations are established in Puerto Rico). The 1996 Amendments also moved the credit based on the economic activity limitation to Section 30A of the Code and phased it out over 10 years. In addition, the 1996 Amendments eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. The Section 30A Credit and the remaining Section 936 credit are discussed below.

Section 30A. The 1996 Amendments added a new Section 30A to the Code. Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that meets certain gross income tests (which are similar to the 80% and 75% gross income tests of Section 936 of the Code discussed below) to claim a credit (the "Section 30A Credit") against the federal income tax imposed on taxable income derived from sources outside the U.S. from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico or from the sale of substantially all the assets used in such business ("possession income").

A QDC is a U.S. corporation which: (i) was actively conducting a trade or business in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995; (ii) had a Section 936 election in effect for its taxable year that included October 13, 1995; (iii) does not have in effect an election to use the percentage limitation of Section 936(a)(4)(B) of the Code; and (iv) does not add a "substantial new line of business."

The Section 30A Credit is limited to the sum of: (i) 60% of qualified possession wages as defined in the Code, which includes wages up to 85% of the maximum earnings subject to the OASDI portion of Social Security taxes plus an allowance for fringe benefits of 15% of qualified possession wages; (ii) a specified percentage of depreciation deductions ranging between 15% and 65%, based on the class life of tangible property; and (iii) a portion of Puerto Rico income taxes paid by the QDC, up to a 9% effective tax rate (but only if the QDC does not elect the profit-split method for allocating income from intangible property).

A QDC electing Section 30A of the Code may compute the amount of its active business income eligible for the Section 30A Credit by using the cost-sharing formula, the profit-split formula, or the cost-plus formula, under the same rules and guidelines prescribed for such formulas as provided under Section 936 (see discussion below). To be eligible for the first two formulas, the QDC must have a significant presence in Puerto Rico.

In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the amount of possession income that would qualify for the Section 30A Credit would be subject to a cap based on the QDC's possession income for an average adjusted base period ending before October 14, 1995 (the "income cap").

Section 30A applies only to taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995 and before January 1, 2006.

Section 936. Under Section 936 of the Code, as amended by the 1996 Amendments, U.S. corporations that meet certain requirements and elect its application ("Section 936 Corporations") are entitled to credit against their U.S. corporate income tax, the portion of such tax attributable to income derived from the active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto Rico ("active business income") and from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in the active conduct of such trade or business. To qualify under Section 936 in any given taxable year, a corporation must derive for the three-year period immediately preceding the end of such taxable year: (i) 80% or more of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico; and (ii) 75% or more of its gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico.

Under Section 936, a Section 936 Corporation may elect to compute its active business income, eligible for the Section 936 credit, under one of three formulas: (A) a cost-sharing formula, whereby it is allowed to claim all profits attributable to manufacturing intangibles and other functions carried out in Puerto Rico provided it makes a cost sharing payment in the amount required under section 936; (B) a profit-split formula, whereby it is allowed to claim 50% of the combined net income of its affiliated group from the sale of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; or (C) a cost-plus formula, whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. To be eligible for the first two formulas, the Section 936 Corporation must have a significant business presence in Puerto Rico for purposes of the Section 936 rules.

As a result of the 1993 Amendments and the 1996 Amendments, the Section 936 credit is only available to companies that were operating in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, and had elected the percentage of income limitation and is limited in amount to 40% of the credit allowable prior to the 1993 Amendments, subject to a five-year phase-in period from 1994 to 1998 during which period the percentage of the allowable credit is reduced from 60% to 40%.

In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the possession income subject to the Section 936 credit will be subject to a cap based on the Section 936 Corporation's possession income for an average adjusted base period ending on October 14, 1995. The Section 936 credit is eliminated for taxable years beginning in 2006.

Because of the credit limitations and impending phase-out, a large number of firms previously operating under the provisions of Sections 936 and 30A have restructured their operations in Puerto Rico, in whole or in part, to become controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"). The Puerto Rico Office of Tax Exemption has received notification of over sixty corporations that have converted part or all of their operations under Puerto Rico tax incentives laws to CFCs. These corporations include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronics companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico.

CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those of Sections 936 and 30A corporations. In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a large 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 companies were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 10% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments.

Because of the jump in net property income reported in manufacturing and rapidly rising withholding taxes on royalty payments, it is reasonable to believe that a significant share of the net income previously in Section 936 corporations operating under the profit-split method has been reincorporated in CFCs.

The plan has three substantive components. First, Sections 30A and 936 would be allowed to expire according to their terms, and they would not be amended to remove the limitations that were scheduled to take effect at the end of 2001. Second, Section 956 would be amended to exclude from current U.S. tax 90% of the otherwise taxable investments in "U.S. property" made by a Qualified Possessions CFC (defined below) out of its Qualified Possessions Income (defined below). Third, transition rules would be provided for companies now conducting operations in Puerto Rico (i.e., existing Sections 936 and 30A credit claimants).

A "Qualified Possession CFC" would be defined under the Code as a controlled foreign corporation, incorporated in Puerto Rico or another U.S. possession. "Qualified Possessions Income" would be limited to that portion of the CFC's post-2001 foreign source income that is derived from the active conduct by the CFC of a trade or business in Puerto Rico (or another possession) or from the sale or exchange of substantially all the assets used by the CFC in the active conduct of such a trade or business. The proposed Section 956 exclusion would be applicable only to income that is eligible for deferral under general U.S. tax principles. Thus, for example, passive income received by the CFC could not be converted from income that is currently taxable under Subpart F into income eligible for deferral by the investment of such amounts in U.S. property pursuant to the proposed amendment to Section 956.

The new Section 956 exclusion and the related transition rule would be effective for taxable years of CFCs, beginning after December 31, 2001.

Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations. Direct debt of the Commonwealth is supported by Commonwealth taxes. 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.

Historically, the Commonwealth has maintained a fiscal policy that provides for a prudent relationship between the growth of public sector debt and the growth of the economic base required to service that debt. During fiscal 1996, 1997, and 1998, however, public sector debt increased at a greater rate than the growth of gross product due to an increase in the amount of debt incurred to finance certain key infrastructure projects, which are important to the development of the economy and are expected to produce long-term economic benefits, and debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt to enable Puerto Rico to benefit from the historically low levels of interest rates and realize debt service savings.

As of December 31, 2000, outstanding short-term debt, relative to total debt, was 9.8%.

Public employees of the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities are covered by four retirement systems: The Employees Retirements System of the Government of Puerto Rico and its Instrumentalities (the "Employees Retirement System"), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 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").

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 government of Puerto Rico is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.

The Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the government of Puerto Rico, its municipalities and instrumentalities. As of June 30, 2000, the total number of active members of the two systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 158,000 and Judiciary Retirement System, 343. The two systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the government of Puerto Rico, public corporations, or municipalities), employees, and investment income. The government is responsible for approximately 66% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System and 100% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary Retirement System. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employees are determined by statute. Required contributions to the systems by employers are determined by the Administrators of the Systems with respect to the Employees and Judiciary Retirement Systems.

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, 2000, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System and the Judiciary Retirement System was $9,459,300,000 and $135,800,000, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period was $7,417,500,000 and $53,000,000, respectively representing a funding ratio of 22% and 61%, respectively. The actuarial valuation was completed in accordance with the "Projected Unit Credit" method. An investment return of 8.5% per year, a salary increase of 5% per year, and a post-retirement benefit increase of 3% every third year were assumed.

On February 1, 1990, the Legislature of Puerto Rico enacted Act No. 1 amending the organic act of the Employees Retirement System to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of contribution to the System and limited the retirement benefits for new employees by increasing the length of time 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.

Also, Act No. 305 of September 24, 1999, further amended the organic act of the Employees Retirement System 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 government after December 31, 1999 and for 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 do not elect to transfer to the new defined contribution system will continue accruing benefits under the current defined benefits 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 government contributions. Instead, government contributions will now be used completely to reduce the unfunded accumulated pension liability of the Employees Retirement System.

Based on actuarial studies conducted by the actuary of the Employees Retirement System, it is expected that the implementation of the defined contribution system will allow the government to reduce the current actuarial deficit of the Employees Retirement System. Also, the law approving the sale of a controlling interest in the Puerto Rico Telephone Company ("PRTC") to a consortium led by GTE International Telecommunications Incorporated provides that any future proceeds received by the government from the sale of its remaining 43% stock ownership in PRTC will be transferred to the Employees Retirement System to reduce its accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation.

The fiscal year of the government of Puerto Rico begins each July 1. The Governor is constitutionally required to submit to the Legislature an annual balanced budget of capital improvements and operating expenses of the central government for the ensuing fiscal year. The annual budget is prepared by Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), working with the Planning Board, the Department of 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."

The annual budget, which is developed utilizing elements of program budgeting and zero-base 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 her judgment are necessary, convenient, and in conformity with the four-year investment plan prepared by the Planning Board.

The Legislature 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 Legislature, 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 Legislature with her objections. The Legislature, by a two-thirds majority in each house, may override the Governor's veto. If a budget is not adopted prior to the end of the fiscal year, the annual budget for the preceding fiscal year as originally approved by the Legislature and the Governor is automatically renewed for the ensuing fiscal year until a new budget is approved by the Legislature and the Governor. This permits the government of Puerto Rico to continue to make payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.

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 Legislature a detailed report of any adjustment necessary to balance the budget, or make recommendations to the Legislature 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.

Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980 created a Budgetary Fund, as amended (the "Budgetary Fund Act"), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, honor the public debt, and provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public services. The Budgetary Fund Act was amended in 1994 to require that an annual legislative appropriation equal to one third of one percent (.33%) of the total budgeted appropriations for each fiscal year be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. In 1997, the Budgetary Fund Act was further amended to increase the annual legislative appropriation required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund to one percent (1%) of the total revenues of the preceding fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2000. 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 six percent (6%) of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year.

In Puerto Rico, the central government has many functions which in the fifty states are the responsibility of local government, such as providing public education and police and fire protection. The central government also makes large annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico, PRASA, and to the municipalities. The grants to the University of Puerto Rico are included in current expenses for education and the debt service on general obligation bonds is included in current expenses for debt service. Debt service on Sugar Corporation notes paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for economic development, and debt service on Urban Renewal and Housing Corporation bonds and notes and on Housing Bank and Finance Agency mortgage subsidy bonds paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for housing.

Approximately 25.2% of the General Fund is committed for payment of fixed changes such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, contributions to Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, and rental payments to Public Building Authority, among others.

In the fiscal 2001 budget proposal, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds total $11,312,169,000 excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The estimated net increase in General Fund revenues in fiscal 2001 is accounted for by increases in personal income taxes (up $215,934,000), corporation income taxes (up $14,138,000), Federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (up $45,250,000), general excise tax of 5% (up $73,438,000), excise tax on motor vehicles and accessories (up $51,005,000), special excise tax on certain petroleum products (up $45,214,000), registration and documentation fees (up $21,144,000), excise tax on alcoholic beverages (up $21,626,000), and decreases in tollgate taxes (down $17,130,000), and income tax withheld from non-residents (down $32,276,000).

Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $11,800,543,000, an increase of $760,761,000 from fiscal 2000. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program are: increases in general government (up $129,339,000), education (up $240,844,000), health (up $55,602,000), public safety and protection (up $95,263,000), debt service (up $36,874,000), other debts (up $30,460,000), special pension contributions (up $6,908,000), housing (up $1,306,000), and contributions to municipalities (up $6,567,000), and decreases in economic development (down $43,481,000), welfare (down $6,257,000), and transportation and communications (down $5,294,000).

The general obligation bond authorization for the fiscal 2001 budget was $425,000,000.

In the fiscal 2002 budget proposal, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds total $11,523,363, 000 excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The estimated net increase in General Fund revenues in fiscal 2002 is accounted for principally by increases in personal income taxes (up $20,000,000), retained non-resident income tax (up $145,000,000), licenses (up $1,000,000), and interest subject to 17% (up $2,000,000), and decreases in electronic lottery revenues (down $2,000,000), special excise tax on certain petroleum products (down $20,000,000), contributions from lottery fund (down $2,000,000), general excise of 5% (down $8,000,000), federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (down $11,000,000), excise tax on alcoholic beverages (down $13,000,000), motor vehicles and accessories (down $24,000,000), tollgate taxes (down $58,000,000), corporation income taxes (down $107,000,000), and customs (down $18,000,000).

Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $11,978,831,000, an increase of $178,288,000 from fiscal 2001. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal 2001 are: increases in general government (up $96,940,000), public safety and protection (up $48,634,000), debt service (up $29,716,000), contributions to municipalities (up $45,504,000), other debts (up $47,819,000), education (up $29,109,000), economic development (up $16,430,000), and special pension contributions (up $3,771,000), and decreases in transportation and communications (down $100,000), housing (down $176,000), welfare (down $5,492,000), and health (down $233,528,000).

The general obligation bond authorization proposed for the fiscal 2002 budget is $465,000,000.

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. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

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 will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because a fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When a fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the funds. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor a fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for a fund may receive commissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing a fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided 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. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or 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.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

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 and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, the portfolio turnover rates were <R>30</R>% and <R>24</R>%, respectively, for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income.

A fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. The following table shows the brokerage commissions paid by <R>Spartan Arizona Municipal Income</R>. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by a fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels throughout the year. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, <R>Arizona Municipal Money Market</R> paid no brokerage commissions.

The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions paid by <R>Spartan Arizona Municipal Income</R>.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, each fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services.

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. 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.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to seek such recapture.

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 to be appropriate and equitable to each fund. In some cases this system 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. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

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.

<R></R>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 the 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.

PERFORMANCE

A fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The share price of a fund (other than a money market fund), the yield of a fund, and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of a fund's (other than a money market fund's) shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Yield Calculations (Money Market Fund). To compute the yield for the money market fund for a period, the net change in value of a hypothetical investment in one share reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. The money market fund also may calculate an effective yield by compounding the base period return over a one-year period. In calculating the money market fund's yield and effective yield, the yield quoted is reduced by the effect of applicable income taxes payable on the shareholder's dividends, using the maximum rate for individual income taxation. In addition to the current yield, the money market fund may quote yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for the money market fund are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as required by applicable regulation.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Yield Calculations (Bond Fund). Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the fund's interest and income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflect the fund's short-term trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. Capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to an investor's account, or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing that portion of a fund's yield that is tax-exempt by the result of one minus the applicable specified federal or combined federal and/or state income tax rate and adding the quotient to that portion, if any, of the fund's yield that is not tax-exempt.

The following tables show the effect of a shareholder's tax bracket on tax-equivalent yield under federal and state income tax laws for 2002. The first table shows applicable effective income tax rates at various income brackets for 2002. The second table shows, for tax-exempt securities with different yields, the yield on a taxable security that is approximately equivalent to the tax-exempt security's yield after taking into account the effect of various effective income tax rates on the taxable security. Of course, no assurance can be given that a fund will have any specific yield. While each fund invests principally in securities whose interest is exempt from federal and applicable state income tax, some portion of the distributions paid by the fund may be taxable.

Use the first table to find your approximate effective income tax rate taking into account federal and state income taxes for 2002.

** Assumes a shareholder itemizes deductions. Excludes the impact of any alternative minimum tax, the phaseout of personal exemptions, limitations on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and adjustments which may increase a taxpayer's marginal income tax rate. An increase in a shareholder's marginal income tax rate would increase that shareholder's tax-equivalent yield.

A fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that are subject to federal and/or state income taxes. When a fund invests in these securities, its tax-equivalent yield may be lower. In the table above, the tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming securities are 100% exempt from federal and state income taxes.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in a fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that a fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of a fund.

In addition to average annual returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax and an after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of a fund's short-term trading fee or the effect of a fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding <R>a </R>fund's short-term trading fee or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns, yields and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using a fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by a fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, a fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Historical Bond Fund Results. The following table shows the fund's yield, tax-equivalent yield, and returns for the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2002.

After-tax returns 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. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.

Historical Money Market Fund Results. The following table shows the fund's 7-day yield, tax-equivalent yield, and returns for the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2002.

The tax-equivalent yields for Arizona Municipal Money Market and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income are based on a combined effective federal and state income tax rate of <R>38.28</R>%.

As of August 31, 2002, an estimated <R>0.11</R>% of <R>Arizona Municipal Money Market</R>'s income was subject to state income taxes. Note that <R>Arizona Municipal Money Market</R> may invest in securities whose income is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

<R>As of August 31, 2002, none of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income's income was subject to state income taxes. Note that Spartan Arizona Municipal Income may invest on securities whose income is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.</R>

Note: If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these periods, each fund's returns would have been lower.

<R>Each fund may compare its return to the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index (S&P 500®), the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM (DJIA SM), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons would show how a fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively. Because each fund invests in debt securities, common stocks represent a different type of investment from the funds. Common stocks generally offer greater growth potential than the funds, but generally experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than investments such as the funds. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike a fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.</R>

Performance Comparisons. A fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, a fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising. The bond fund may advertise risk ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating agencies.

A fund's performance may also be compared to that of each benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of each index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in each index. Unlike a fund's returns, however, each index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

Spartan Arizona Municipal Income may compare its performance to that of the Lehman Brothers<R>®</R> Municipal Bond Index, a market value-weighted index for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more. Issues included in the index have been issued after December 31, 1990 and have been issued as part of an offering of at least $50 million. After December 31, 1995, zero coupon bonds and issues subject to the alternative minimum tax are included in the index. Issues included in the index prior to January 1, 2000 have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million; while issues included in the index after January 1, 2000 have an outstanding par value of at least $5 million.

Spartan Arizona Municipal Income may compare its performance to that of the Lehman Brothers Arizona 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of Arizona investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of four years or more. Issues included in the index have been issued as part of an offering of at least $20 million, have an outstanding par value of at least $2 million, and have been issued after December 31, 1990.

A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

The money market fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in which it may invest to averages published by iMoneyNet, Inc. of Westborough, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of distributions. iMoneyNet's MONEY FUND REPORT AVERAGES/ All Tax-Free Money Market Funds Average, which is reported in iMoneyNet's MONEY FUND REPORT, covers <R>525</R> tax-free money market funds.

The bond fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual municipal bond. Unlike municipal bond mutual funds, individual municipal bonds offer a stated rate of interest and, if held to maturity, repayment of principal. Although some individual municipal bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer the reduced risk of a mutual fund that invests in many different securities. The sales charges of many municipal bond mutual funds are lower than the purchase cost of individual municipal bonds, which are generally subject to direct brokerage costs.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals<R>,</R> as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity publications provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>Each fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>Each fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance results.</R>

A fund may present its fund number, Quotron® number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. A <R>bond </R>fund<R> m</R>ay quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare a fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, a bond fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.

Momentum Indicators indicate price movements over specific periods of time for a<R> bond</R> fund. Each point on the momentum indicator represents a fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

A <R>bond </R>fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of August 31, 2002, FMR advised over $<R>50</R> billion in municipal fund assets, $<R>193</R> billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $<R>188</R> billion in money market fund assets, $<R>409</R> billion in equity fund assets, and $<R>18</R> billion in international fund assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

In addition to performance rankings, a fund may compare its total expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in comparing debt and money market investments because of its effect on yield.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

<R>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.</R>

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund are also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are taxable as dividends, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

Each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR believes is free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other parties have entered 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 retroactive 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.

Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities will be considered tax-exempt for purposes of each fund's policies of investing so that at least 80% of its income is free from federal income tax. 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.

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. Dividends resulting from a recharacterization of gain from the sale of bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 are not considered income for purposes of each fund's policy of investing so that at least 80% of its income is free from federal income tax.

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 ordinary 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.

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.

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. Except for William O. McCoy and William S. Stavropoulos, each of the Trustees oversees 265 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. McCoy oversees 267 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate, and Mr. Stavropoulos oversees 230 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.</R>

<R>The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. In any event, each non-interested Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The executive officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.</R>

<R></R>Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 10 standing committees.

<R>The Committee on Operations is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chairman. The committee normally meets monthly and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to the non-interested Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding transfer agent agreements, insurance coverage, and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the level of service provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held 11 meetings.</R>

<R>The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann serving as Chairman. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more often as required, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The Fair Value Oversight Committee monitors and establishes policies concerning procedures and controls regarding the valuation of fund investments and their classification as liquid or illiquid. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies and Fidelity funds' investment in non-traditional securities. The committee also reviews actions taken by FMR's Fair Value Committee. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held four meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established three fund oversight committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chairman), Cox, Lautenbach, and Lynch), the Fixed-Income/International Committee (composed of Messrs. Gates (Chairman) and Kirk and Ms. Knowles), and the Select Committee (composed of Ms. Davis (Chairman) and Messrs. Cook and Stavropoulos). Each committee's members confer periodically and normally meet monthly. Each committee oversees investment advisory services provided by FMR to the relevant funds and monitors the investment objectives, policies, and practices of the relevant Fidelity funds. Each committee also monitors compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies, appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, and investment performance. The Fixed-Income/International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the Equity Committee held 10 meetings, the Fixed-Income/International Committee held 11 meetings, and the Select Committee held 10 meetings.</R>

<R>The Committee on Service Fees is composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chairman), Cook, Kirk, and Lautenbach. The committee members confer periodically and meet at least annually. The committee considers the structure of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees, direct fees to investors, and the specific services rendered by FMR and its affiliates in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers fee structures for other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held two meetings.</R>

<R>The Brokerage Committee is composed of Messrs. Cox (Chairman), Cook, McCoy, and Stavropoulos and Ms. Davis. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more often as required, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the Fidelity funds. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution and commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services, providing sales support, or paying fund expenses. The committee also monitors brokerage and other relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR which participate in the execution of securities transactions. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held seven meetings.</R>

<R>The Committee on Distribution Channels is composed of Messrs. Cox (Chairman), Gates, and Stavropoulos and Mses. Davis and Knowles. The committee members confer periodically and hold meetings at least annually. The committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the Fidelity funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of classes of shares, sales load structures, load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held five meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Kirk (Chairman), Gates, and Lautenbach and Ms. Knowles. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more often as required, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The committee oversees and monitors each Fidelity fund's internal accounting and control structure, its auditing function and its financial reporting process, including the resolution of material reporting issues. The committee recommends to the full Board of Trustees the appointment of auditors for the Fidelity funds. It reviews audit plans, fees and other material arrangements in respect of the engagement of auditors, including non-audit services to be performed. It reviews the qualifications of key personnel involved in the foregoing activities and monitors auditor independence. The committee plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's investment compliance procedures and the code of ethics. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held five meetings.</R>

<R>The Nominating and Administration Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chairman), Cox, and Gates. The committee members confer periodically and hold meetings as required. The committee makes nominations for non-interested Trustees, for Members of the Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee periodically reviews procedures and policies of the Board of Trustees and its committees and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. It acts as the administrative committee under the Retirement Plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It monitors the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee monitors compliance with, and acts as the administrator of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The Nominating and Administration Committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders. Recommendations should be submitted to the committee in care of the Secretary of the Fidelity funds. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the committee held three meetings.</R>

Effective September 18, 2002, Mr. Stavropoulos serves as a Member of the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and Union Street Trust II.</R>

<R>A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001 for 264 funds of 56 trusts in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $111,000; Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $30,723; Ralph F. Cox, $30,723; Ned C. Lautenbach, $38,103; and William O. McCoy, $38,103.</R>

<R>Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.</R>

<R>As of August 31, 2001, the Trustees and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund's total outstanding shares.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR and Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class 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 stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock 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 Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

FMR, FIMM (the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the funds have adopted a code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that sets forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures for personal investing, and restricts certain transactions. Employees subject to the code 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.

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, directs 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 non-interested Trustees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), money market insurance premiums (beginning January 1, 2004, if any<R>,</R> for Arizona Municipal Money Market) and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which <R>the</R> fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

<R>Management Fees. For the services of FMR under each management contract, Arizona Municipal Money Market and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income pay 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.</R>

<R>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 non-interested Trustees.</R>

<R>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>

* After reduction of fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested 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). 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 primary responsibility for choosing investments for each fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, FMR pays FIMM fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with each fund. The fees paid to FIMM are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

<R>Fees paid to FIMM by FMR on behalf of each fund for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table.</R>

B<R>OARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT</R>S

Matters Considered by the Board. <R>The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on each fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-in</R>terested Trustees.

<R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of each fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of each fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of each fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of each fund's assets, (4) the allocation of each fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with each fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with each fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.</R>

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (d) the composition of peer groups of funds, (e) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (f) investment management staffing, (g) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (h) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (i) the information furnished to investors, including each fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R></R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of each fund's portfolio manager and each fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's money market and bond groups. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered each fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including each fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of a fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of a fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of a fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to a fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by each fund and each fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of <R>F</R>DC 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 National Association of Securities Dealers, 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.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf 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 the funds and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

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 fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Arizona Municipal Money Market and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income shares.

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 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 fund shares, additional sales of fund shares 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.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

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 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 for each fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in a fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

FSC also collects 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, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program <R>(QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, Freedom Fund's,</R> or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in a fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC 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.

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. Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 1, 1974. Currently, there are three funds in Fidelity Union Street Trust: Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund, Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund, and Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund. <R>Fidelity</R> Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust II, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. On October 31, 2001<R>,</R> Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund changed its name from Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund to Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund. Currently, there are <R>three</R> funds in Fidelity Union Street Trust II: Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund, <R>Fidelity</R> Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund, and Spartan Municipal Money Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trusts and to create additional classes of the funds.

The assets of the Massachusetts 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 the Massachusetts trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the Massachusetts trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of its funds.

The assets of the Delaware 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 the Delaware trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the Delaware trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of its funds.

Shareholder Liability - Massachusetts Trust. The Massachusetts 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. The Delaware trust is a business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit. 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.

Voting Rights - Massachusetts Trust. The 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.

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. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate 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.

Voting Rights - Delaware Trust. The 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.

Fidelity Union Street Trust II 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. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class.

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.

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.

Auditor. <R>PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, s</R>erves as independent accountant for each fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Spartan® Maryland Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal inc<R>ome tax and Maryland personal incom</R>e taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in<R> investme</R>nt-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from <R>federal and Maryland person</R>al income taxes.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index, which as of August<R> 31, 200</R>2, was the Lehman Brothers® Maryland 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal 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 a security's structural features and current pricing, trading opportunities, and the credit quality of its issuer to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities 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 of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Investment Objective

Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Maryland <R>personal</R> income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

<R>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.</R>

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to Maryland<R> personal inco</R>me taxes or Maryland alternative minimum 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.

FMR uses an index that represents the market for the types of securities in which the fund invests as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. As o<R>f August 31, 2002, F</R>MR was using the Lehman Brothers Maryland 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of Aug<R>ust 31, 200</R>2, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately<R> 15.7 y</R>ears and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximatel<R>y 14.4 y</R>ears.

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 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 buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its estimated long-term value, any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit quality of its issuer.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps<R>, </R>and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values.<R> FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other f</R>unds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Fund Basics - continued

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 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.

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.

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 of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect the 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.

Prospectus

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 currently has a stable economy and it and its political subdivisions issue debt securities that typically have investment-grade ratings. The State of Maryland is more reliant on the service and government sectors, in regard to the source of its residents' personal income, than the nation as a whole, while the manufacturing sector is much less significant than it is nationwide. Downturns in the service and government sectors could therefore have an effect on the stability of the Maryland economy or the economies of any of its political subdivisions.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, 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 affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to these changes than higher-quality debt securities. 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 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 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 Marylan<R>d personal income</R> taxes.

Fundamental Investment Policies

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

Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and <R>Maryland personal income taxes. The f</R>und normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and Maryland personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

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

The fund's net<R> asset value per sha</R>re (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. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the f<R>und is not open</R> for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those <R>days. In additio</R>n, 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 after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, <R>from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to </R>the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

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

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees <R>the fu</R>nd or Fidelity has incurred.

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 the fund is 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.

Selling Shares

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

<R>The fund will deduct a 0.50% short-term trading fee from the redemption amount if you sell your shares or your shares are redeemed for failure to maintain the balance minimum after holding them less than 30 days. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvest</R>ment of distributions.

Prospectus

<R>Trading fees are paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.</R>

<R>Yo</R>ur shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
  • You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
  • You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

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 shares, keep your fund balance above $5,000 to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
  • 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.

Shareholder Information - continued

  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

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 temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • The fund may refuse a<R>ny exchange purchases for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exc</R>hange 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, there may be additional requirements.

The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

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

Shareholder Information - continued

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November 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.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $5,000, for any reason, including solely due to declines in the fund's NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading 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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

Prospectus

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 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.

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 <R>personal</R> income taxes.

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 or to Maryland income tax as a preference item. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to the fund's sale of municipal bonds.

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.

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 <R>as taxable income or</R> 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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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 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.

Spartan Maryland Municipal Income is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.

FMR is the fund's manager. <R>The address of FMR and its affiliates, unless otherwise indicated below, is 82 De</R>vonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

As o<R>f March 28, 2002, FMR had approximat</R>ely $13.6 billion in discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the fund's investments and handling its business affairs.

Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM),<R> at One Spartan Way, Merrimack, New Ham</R>pshire 03054<R>,</R> serves as a sub-adviser for the fund. FIMM is primarily responsible for choosing investments for the fund.

FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 28<R>, 2002, FIMM had approximately $330.6 </R>billion in discretionary assets under management.

Mark <R>Sommer is manager of Spartan Maryla</R>nd Municipal Income Fund, which he h<R>as managed since June 2002. He a</R>lso manages other Fidelity funds. <R>Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1992, Mr. Sommer has worked as an analyst and ma</R>nager.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays all of the other expenses of the fund with limited exceptions.

The fund's annual management fee rate is 0.55% of its average net assets.

FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the<R> fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangemen</R>ts, which may be dis<R>continued by </R>FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 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, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.

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.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

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.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

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 statement of additional information (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 fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund 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 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 (the 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. The fund may not:

(1) 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;

(2) 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;

(3) 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;

(4) 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;

(5) 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);

(6) 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); or

(7) 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<R> purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt in</R>struments.

(8) 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.

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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 fundamental investment limitation (2)).

(v) 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.

(vi) 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.

(vii) 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.

For purposes of limitation (i), 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.

For purposes of limitations (4) and (i), 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.

With respect to limitation (v), 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.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

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.

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. 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.

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 sh<R>ort-term bond f</R>unds. 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 money market or shor<R>t-term b</R>ond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money m<R>arket cent</R>ral funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

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.

Futures, Options, and Swaps. The following paragraphs pertain to futures<R>,</R> <R>options, and swap</R>s: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures<R>,</R> Options, and Swap Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, Writing Put and Call Options, and Swap <R>Agreements</R>.

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.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and 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 options and 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 options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and 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 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 and 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 options or 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.

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 I<R>ndex, and s</R>ome are based on Eurodollars. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

Po<R>sitions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) </R>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.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of 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. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. 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. The party that has a gain may be 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 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.

Limitations on Futures,<R> Options, and Swap </R>Transactions. The fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, write call options<R>, or enter into swap agreements</R> if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and<R>/or</R> options<R> and/or swap agreements</R> under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts<R>,</R> write put options<R>, or enter into swap agreements (other than swaps entered into for hedging purposes under (a))</R> if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options<R> plus the notional amount of any such swaps</R> would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to <R>futures, options, or swaps</R>.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts<R>,</R> options,<R> and swaps,</R> and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts<R>,</R> options<R>, and swaps</R> discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures 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 and 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 secondary 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 or futures positions could also be impaired.

OTC Options. 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 involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call 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.

Writing Put and Call Options. 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 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.

<R>Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.</R>

<R>In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.</R>

<R>Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to pay fixed rates in exchange for floating rates while holding fixed-rate bonds, the swap would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to long-term interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price.</R>

<R>The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to 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 a similarly creditworthy party.</R>

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, FMR may consider various factors, 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 <R>SEC</R>, 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 vice versa. The prices of inverse floaters can be considerably more volatile than the prices of bonds with comparable maturities.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's® (S&P<R>®</R>), or Fitch 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.

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, 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, 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.

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.

Principal Municipal Bond Insurers. The various insurance companies providing primary and secondary market insurance policies for municipal bonds are described below. Ratings reflect each respective rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of an insurer and the insurer's ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the time of the assessment.

Ambac Assurance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial Group Inc., is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Ambac Assurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

Connie Lee Insurance Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connie Lee Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Assurance Corp. All losses incurred by Connie Lee Insurance Co. that would cause its statutory capital to drop below $75 million would be covered by Ambac Assurance Corp. Connie Lee Insurance Co. is authorized to provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by Connie Lee Insurance Co. are rated "AAA" by S&P.

Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. (FGIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GE Capital Services, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Bonds insured by FGIC are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

Financial Security Assurance Inc. (FSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Financial Security Assurance Holdings Ltd., is authorized to provide bond insurance in 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories. Bonds insured by FSA are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corp. (MBIA Insurance Corp.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc., a publicly-owned company, is authorized to provide bond insurance in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bonds insured by MBIA Insurance Corp. are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by S&P.

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 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.

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 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.

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 fund 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 (the 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 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.

S<R>ecurities 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 net asset value. Others are continuously offered at NAV, bu</R>t may also be traded in the secondary market.

<R>The ext</R>ent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, 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 liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider 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 entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

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.

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.

Tender Option Bonds are created by coupling an intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate, municipal bond (generally held pursuant to a custodial arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder the option to tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for providing the tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees equal to the difference between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the rate (determined by a remarketing or similar agent) that would cause the bond, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date of such determination. After payment of the tender option fee, a fund effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond, the custodian, and the third party provider of the tender option. In certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender option if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.

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 MARYLAND

<R>According to 2000 Census reports, Maryland's population in that year was 5,296,486, reflecting an increase of 9.4% 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 87.2% of its population. The 2000 population for the Baltimore Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area was 2,552,994 and for the Maryland portion of the Washington Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, 2,065,242. Overall Maryland's population per square mile in 2000 was 538.1.</R>

<R>Total personal income in Maryland has grown at an average annual rate of 3.7% since 1991, equal to the national average. Per capita personal income grew at rates of between 2.8% and 5.8% during this period. In addition, per capita income in Maryland in 2001 was more than 15% higher compared with the national average. Unemployment in Maryland peaked in the period discussed above in 1992 at 6.7%, and has decreased to a rate of 5.1% in 1994, and has not exceeded that rate since. Unemployment in Maryland stood at a rate of 4.1% in 2001.</R>

<R>Retail sales in Maryland increased at rates between 2.5% and 9.4% in the years 1992 through 2001. Retail sales in Maryland increased by 6.7%, 9.4%, and 5.1% in 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively.</R>

<R>Services, wholesale and retail trade, government and manufacturing (primarily painting and publishing, food and kindred products, instruments and related products, industrial machinery, electronic equipment and chemical and allied products) 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 services (48.0% in Maryland versus 44.8% in the U.S. as a whole) than in manufacturing (7.2% in Maryland versus 13.4% in the U.S. as a whole).</R>

<R>The State's General Fund, the fund from which all general costs of State government are paid and which represents 55%-60% of each year's total budget, had on a budgetary basis an unreserved surplus in fiscal year 2002. The General Fund had substantial, unreserved surpluses on a budgetary basis at the ends of each of the previous four fiscal years. It was previously estimated that the General Fund surplus, on a budgetary basis on June 30, 2002 would be approximately $427 million. The State Comptroller announced on August 29, 2002 that the State ended fiscal year 2002 with a total budget surplus of $309 million. As $413 million of the previously estimated surplus had been appropriated to the fiscal 2003 budget, the final report surplus "actually creates a $104 million hole in the fiscal year 2003 budget." In addition, given current state revenue and expediture levels it is anticipated that the State's fiscal year 2004 budget (before any amendments) will have a deficit in excess of $1 billion. The State's Constitution mandates a balanced budget.</R>

<R>On April 3, 2001, the General Assembly approved the budget for fiscal year 2002. The 2002 Budget included $3.3 billion in aid to local governments. Early in fiscal year 2002, it appeared that general fund revenues would be less than projected, and in fact this lesser projection prove too optimistic as described in the previous paragraph. Though fiscal year 2002 ended with a surplus, that surplus was not as large as previously anticipated and required the implementation of cost containment provisions (including certain across-the-board expenditure cuts and the institution of certain hiring freezes) and the transfer of in excess of $530 million from the Revenue Stabilization Fund of the State's Reserve Fund to the general fund. The Revenue Stabilization Fund of the State's Reserve Fund was established in 1986 to retain state revenues for future needs and to reduce the need for future tax increases.</R>

<R>On April 4, 2002, the General Assembly approved the budget for fiscal year 2003. The 2003 Budget includes $3.6 billion in aid to local governments. Based on the 2003 Budget, it is estimated that the General Fund surplus on a budgetary basis at June 30, 2003 will be approximately $13.5 million. In addition, it is estimated that the balance in the Revenue Stabilization Account of the State Reserve Fund at June 30, 2003 will be $500.5 million. In accordance with the State Comptroller's August 29, 2002 press release, the fiscal year 2003 budget already has a $103 million funding gap that must be remedied. In addition, the Comptroller sees continuing declines in the State's collection of revenues. To address and offset the current funding gap and anticipated additional revenue shortfalls, the State will be required to take additional budget cutting measures throughout fiscal year 2003.</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 July 2002, the State's general obligation bonds were rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), "AAA" by 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. As of September 2002, these bonds were rated "Aa" by Moody's, "AA" 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 "A1" by Moody's and "A+" by S&P as of September 2002.</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 (which 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 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 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, and "AAA" by S&P. Prince George's County, also in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, issues general obligation bonds rated "Aa3" by Moody's and "AA" by S&P, 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. The other counties in Maryland all have general obligation bond ratings of "A" or better, 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 and "AAA" by S&P as of September 2000. 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>

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO

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. FMR has not independently verified any of the information contained in such official statements, prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware of any fact which would render such information materially inaccurate.

The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United States (the "U.S." ) In fiscal 2000, trade with the U.S. accounted for approximately 88% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 56% of its imports. In this regard, in fiscal 2000 Puerto Rico experienced a $11.4 billion positive adjusted merchandise trade balance.

Gross product in fiscal 1996 was $30.4 billion and gross product in fiscal 2000 was $41.4 billion ($34.8 billion in 1996 prices). This represents an increase in gross product of 36.3% from fiscal 1996 to 2000 (14.7% in 1996 prices).

Since fiscal 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal 2000, aggregate personal income was $38.2 billion ($34.6 billion in 1996 prices) and personal per capita income was $9,870 ($8,925 in 1996 prices). Personal income includes transfer payments to individuals in Puerto Rico under various social programs. Total federal payments to Puerto Rico, which 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. Transfer payments to individuals in fiscal 2000 were $7.6 billion, of which $5.7 billion, or 75.1%, represented entitlements to individuals who had previously performed services or made contributions under programs such as Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions.

Puerto Rico's economic expansion, which has lasted over ten years, continued throughout the five-year period from fiscal 1996 through fiscal 2000. Almost every sector of the economy participated, and record levels of employment were achieved. Factors behind this expansion included government-sponsored economic development programs, periodic declines in the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, increases in the level of federal transfers, the relatively low cost of borrowing funds, and, until recently, low oil prices.

The performance of the economy during fiscal 2001 was affected principally by the performance of the U.S. economy and by the level of oil prices and the level of interest rates. The change in the Federal Reserve monetary policy to lower interest rates embodies a positive impact for the Commonwealth's economy, primarily its construction industry. Since Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports for its energy needs, if oil prices remain at their current high level for a long period of time, that could have an adverse effect on the level of economic activity in Puerto Rico.

The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal 2000 averaged 1,159,470. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical levels, remains above the average for the U.S.

Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy are manufacturing and services. During the period between fiscal 1996 and 2000, the manufacturing and services sectors generated the largest portion of gross domestic product. Three sectors of the economy provide the most employment: manufacturing, services, and government. Manufacturing is the largest sector of the Puerto Rico economy accounting, in terms of gross domestic product, for $26.3 billion or 43.8% of gross domestic product in fiscal 1999. The Planning Board estimates that in fiscal 2000 manufacturing generated $27.4 billion or 43.5% of gross domestic product. The manufacturing sector employed 140,555 workers as of March 2000. 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. Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during earlier phases of industrial development. In the last two decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift is best exemplified by heavy investment in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, computers, microprocessors, medical products, and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico over the last decade. While total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 12,718 from March 1997 to March 2000, other indicators of the manufacturing sector suggest that manufacturing production increased. Average weekly hours worked increased 6%, industrial energy consumption increased 6.2%, and exports increased 63.5% from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 2000. Thus, the reduction in manufacturing employment occurred during a period of significant expansion in real manufacturing output, as reflected in the growth of exports. This trend suggests a significant increase in manufacturing productivity. Most of the decreases in employment have been concentrated in the labor-intensive industries, particularly apparel, textile, and tuna manufacturing. In fiscal 2000, 73 manufacturing plants closed their operations, and the number of jobs lost from those closings amounted to 2,691, compared to 54 plant closings and 2,369 jobs lost in fiscal 1999. When compared to the reduction of employment in the U.S. manufacturing sector, the sharper reduction in Puerto Rico is probably due to the island's larger share of employment in declining industries. Employment commitments from companies making new investments and from companies expanding their existing operations increased 51.2% from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000. For fiscal 2000, commitments for new employment and new investment (machinery and equipment) amounted to 29,275 and $835.3 million, respectively.

Puerto Rico has experienced significant growth in the services sector, in terms of both income and employment, over the past decade, showing a favorable trend as compared with certain other industrialized economics. The services sector, which includes wholesale and retail trade and finance, insurance, real estate, hotels and related services, and other services, ranks second only to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and leads all sectors in providing employment. In fiscal 2000, services generated $23.4 billion of gross domestic product or 37.0% of the total. Employment in the services sector grew from 526,720 in fiscal 1996 to 587,438 in fiscal 2000, a cumulative increase of 11.5%. This increase was greater than the 6.2% cumulative growth in total employment over the same period. During the period between fiscal 1996 and fiscal 2000, the gross domestic product in this sector increased at an annual average rate of 6.6%, while employment increased at an annual average rate of 2.2%. The development of the services sector has shown a strong interaction among the following important sectors: manufacturing, tourism, construction, and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base.

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. A major element in the diversification efforts is the further development of the local services sector, which has the capacity to increase its export potential and to generate more income and jobs during the coming years.

Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate have experienced significant growth in the fiscal 1996 to 2000 period, as measured by gross domestic product. Gross domestic product in wholesale and retail trade increased from $6.3 billion in fiscal 1996 to $8.4 billion in fiscal 2000. In finance, insurance, and real estate, gross domestic product increased from $6.2 billion in fiscal 1996 to $8.9 billion in fiscal 2000. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico of which one is a U.S. major money center bank, three are foreign banks, one is a national bank from Florida, and thirteen are local banks and trust companies. Total assets of these institutions as of December 31, 2000 were $54.8 billion. In addition, five major securities firms operate in the island.

The government sector of the Commonwealth plays an important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 2000, the government accounted for $5.5 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 8.7% of the total, and provided 245,865 jobs or 21.5% of the total employment. Government sector employment does not include employment by public corporations, which employment is included in other sectors. These public corporations include significant employers such as the Electric Power Authority and the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. The government's (including the central government, the public corporations, and the municipalities) share of payroll employment, measured according to the payroll survey, has diminished from 34.9% in fiscal 1981, to 33.6% in fiscal 1990, to 26.5% in fiscal 2000.

On February 25, 1998, legislation was enacted permitting the unionization of government employees (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; annual salary increases are limited; employees cannot be required to become union members and pay union dues; and collective bargaining negotiations cannot occur in an election year. Negotiations of non-economic conditions with government employees pursuant to this bill commenced in fiscal 2000 and negotiations of economic conditions commenced in fiscal 2001.

The construction industry has experienced substantial real growth since fiscal 1987. During the period from fiscal 1996 through fiscal 1999 construction investment increased 62%. In fiscal 2000, investment in construction rose to an unprecedented $7.0 billion, an increase of 7.3% as compared to $6.6 billion in fiscal 1999. The strong growth in the construction industry resulted from increased public and private investment in the past few years. During fiscal year 2000, the total value of construction permits increased 52.1% and cement sales decreased 3.5% in comparison with fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2000, the average employment in the construction sector was 84,886, an increase of 9.2% over fiscal 1999.

Nominal public investment in key infrastructure projects increased 9.1% in fiscal 1999 and 5.7% in fiscal 1998. Private construction investment, particularly in housing and hotels, increased 41.0% in fiscal 1999 and 25.9% in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999 private construction investment exceeded public investment for the first time since 1974. The growth in private construction investment during fiscal 1999 is attributable primarily to the high level of housing reconstruction carried out in response to the damages caused by Hurricane Georges. During fiscal year 1999, the total value of construction permits increased 17.2% and cement sales increased 6.7% in comparison with fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, the average employment in the construction sector was 77,771, an increase of 12.7% over fiscal 1998. The Planning Board's construction investment forecast for fiscal 2000, made in July 1999, projected a nominal increase of 11.9% attributable primarily to the construction of large infrastructure projects, commercial projects and other investments related to the damages caused by Hurricane Georges. The expansion in the construction sector continued in fiscal year 2000. The growth in this sector is illustrated by a significant growth of 52.1% in the total value of permits.

Tourism also contributes significantly to the island economy, accounting for 3.8% of the island's gross domestic product in fiscal 2000, compared to 3.7% in fiscal 1999. Visitors' expenditures and the number of visitors to the island had grown consistently from 1985 to 1998, reaching $2.2 billion, and more than 4.6 million, respectively, in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, however, the number of visitors to the island decreased to 4.2 million and visitors' expenditures decreased to $2.1 billion, a decrease of 4.2% compared to fiscal 1998, due in part to the effect of Hurricane Georges, which struck the island in September 1998. The number of persons registered in tourist hotels during fiscal 2000, however, increased 1.4% over the number registered for fiscal 1999. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal 2000 was 74.3% compared to 75.4% in fiscal 1999. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 1.7% during fiscal 2000 compared with fiscal 1999. These increases are due in part to the increased marketing by the government of Puerto Rico, the trends in U.S. economy, and increased hotel usage by Puerto Rico residents. Since fiscal 1992, a number of major hotels have undergone substantial renovation and more than 2,680 new rooms have been added with the opening of several major hotels. Various international hotel corporations have recently made substantial capital investments to develop additional tourist facilities. As of June 30, 2000, the total number of hotel rooms was 11,928 with the completion and renovation of several new hotels.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2001 the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 994,000, an increase of 7.8% over the number registered for the same period in fiscal 2000. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during this period was 68% compared to 73.4% in fiscal 2000. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 1.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared with the same period of fiscal 2000.

San Juan has become the largest homeport for cruise ships in the Caribbean and the second largest homeport for cruise ships in the world.

The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and quality of produce, and stimulating import substitution where economically feasible. During fiscal 2000, gross income from agriculture was $810.1 million, an increase of 13.5% in comparison with fiscal 1999. Agriculture gross income consists of the total value of production in the principal agricultural sectors, which include traditional crops, cattle products, farinaceous vegetables, fruits, and other products. Recently, cattle products, non-traditional crops, and livestock products have contributed a higher percentage of the sector's income.

The government of Puerto Rico 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, approved December 1, 1995, increased the tax benefits available to bona fide farmers. The Act 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 to be issued by financial institutions to provide financing to agricultural business. Subsequent legislation imposed an aggregate annual limitation of $15 million on the investment tax credits available under Act. No. 225.

Since fiscal 1995, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has sold various agricultural operations previously conducted by governmental entities to private entities. These sales included certain assets of the pineapple processing operation and a mango growing facility. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has also transferred the sugar processing facilities formerly operated by the Sugar Corporation to local private sugarcane growers.

Policy changes will be implemented to promote employment and income generated by the agricultural sector. The policy initiatives being considered are restructuring the Department of Agriculture, increasing government purchases of local agricultural products, and a new system of agricultural credits and subsidies for new projects.

Sila M. Calderón was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico on January 2, 2001. She obtained a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from Manhattanville College in New York and a Master's in Business Administration from the University of Puerto Rico. Since 1973, she has worked in the public sector as Executive Assistant of the Labor Secretary, Special Assistant to the Governor of Puerto Rico, Chief of Staff of the Governor of Puerto Rico, and Secretary of State. In the private sector, she has worked as an executive in charge of business development for Citibank, N.A., President of the Commonwealth Investment Company Inc., and a member of the Board of Directors of BanPonce, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Pueblo International, Inc. In 1996, she was elected as mayor of the municipality of San Juan.

The Commonwealth's economic development program is based on the fundamental, interrelated changes in technology, demographics, and institutions, which are transforming the global economy. These changes provide the challenges and opportunities that encompass the economic development strategy.

The Commonwealth's goal is to target basic, export industries that can make the maximum net contribution to the Commonwealth's growth and competitiveness in the globalizing economy. Although the global share of manufacturing in the gross domestic product is in secular decline, this is largely due to the higher rate of productivity growth in this sector. Manufacturing remains by far the largest source of growth in international trade in goods and services and is also the source of demand for the growing business services sector. Services sector growth is also a primary source of demand for certain manufactured capital goods.

Puerto Rico is experiencing the effects of a demographic transition, which is causing a reduction in the net number of new entrants into the working-age population. Although the Commonwealth still has large job creation needs due to high unemployment, low labor force participation, and out-migration, the declining growth rate for the working-age population makes the financing of necessary improvements in human capital and infrastructure more feasible.

The Commonwealth intends to exploit this demographic transition to move up-market into more productive employment. The island can leverage its position as a surplus labor region in the U.S. market, while positioning itself as a bi-lingual, bi-cultural interface for the Americas.

The economic program is based on: (1) Jump-starting the manufacturing sector; (2) Regionalizing (decentralizing) economic development planning and implementation; and (3) "Operación Manos Tecnológicas" to enable industries to acquire and develop more advanced technologies.

Initiatives to achieve the economic program objectives have begun in the following five areas: (1) Puerto Rico legislation; (2) institutional development; (3) new promotional strategies; (4) refocused strategic projects; and (5) federal legislative proposals.

Puerto Rico Legislation. Legislative initiatives include laws introduced or under development to extend the benefits of the 1998 Tax Incentives Act to all eligible business operating under previous tax incentives laws. These benefits include 200% deductions for research and development expenses; worker training; and the ability to deduct, as a current expense, investments in machinery and equipment. Other legislative proposals include legislation to reduce the capital gains tax from 20% to 10% for eligible Commonwealth investments, a revision of real estate investment trust ("REIT") legislation, and additional tax incentives to promote initial public offerings ("IPOs") of local companies.

Institutional Development. The Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company ("PRIDCO") has been reorganized into five major departmental areas and three offices that report directly to the Executive Director. All promotional offices (Continental, Foreign, Puerto Rico, and Industrial Services) are consolidated into a single area, into which the Office of Science and Technology also has been integrated. A Strategic Planning function has been added to the Economic Analysis Area.

The Export Promotion Company ("PROMO EXPORT") has been integrated into the Commercial Development Administration in order to insure that overall programs for small business development complement export assistance for those firms.

The Tourism Company and the Commonwealth offices that gather Puerto Rico's economic statistics are also undergoing reorganization.

An extensive program for the revitalization of urban centers is being implemented to help meet the economic goals of job creation, efficiency, and equity for low-income families. Bringing jobs to urban areas that already have infrastructure for utilities saves on public sector investment requirements, and reduces transportation time and costs for workers and businesses. Revitalized urban centers enhance the quality of life for residents and for all consumers of urban culture and commerce. This program will include creating micro-enterprise incubators and targeting wage incentives under the "Valempleo" program to focus on urban revitalization projects.

New Promotional Strategies. Promotional strategies for economic development will build on Puerto Rico's competitive strengths provided by the Commonwealth's fiscal autonomy, which allows it to grant tax and financial incentives. The primary focus will be on competitive manufacturing clusters in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical instruments, and electronics and information technologies products. One objective is to expand the base of suppliers of intermediate products and professional services available to these clusters. Another goal is to use technology development resources to expand the capabilities of competitive cluster manufacturers in new product development and start-up enterprises. The Commonwealth is positioned to be a center of manufacturing and services at the crossroads of the Americas.

Refocused Strategic Projects. Strategic projects include a transshipment port complex targeted for the South coast to be known as the "Port of the Americas" and the Golden Triangle tourism/convention center/world trade complex in San Juan.

Federal Legislative Proposals. The Commonwealth has developed a proposal calling for an amendment to the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to provide a new and permanent tax regime applicable to U.S.-based businesses that have operations in the Commonwealth or other U.S. possessions. This new regime will be based on the tax rules generally applied by Congress to U.S. corporations with international operations, but with certain modifications intended to promote employment in both the Commonwealth and the U.S.

Factors promoting the development of the manufacturing sector in Puerto Rico include various local and federal tax incentives, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program and Sections 30A and 936 of the Code. New tax and other incentives have been established to promote the development of the tourism industry. These incentives are summarized below.

Since 1948, Puerto Rico has promulgated various industrial incentive laws designed to stimulate industrial investment. 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 industrial incentives laws is Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997 (the "1998 Tax Incentives Law"), a new industrial incentives law aimed at attracting and retaining foreign investment in Puerto Rico.

The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Law 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. Activities eligible for tax exemption include manufacturing, certain designated services performed for markets outside Puerto Rico, the production of energy from local renewable sources for consumption in Puerto Rico, and laboratories for scientific and industrial research. For companies qualifying thereunder, the 1998 Tax Incentives Law imposes income tax rates ranging from 2% to 7% for periods ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition, it grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption from municipal license taxes during the first eighteen months of operation and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from municipal excise taxes. The 1998 Tax Incentives Law also provides various special deductions designated to stimulate employment and productivity, research and development, and capital investment in Puerto Rico.

Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Law, companies are able to repatriate or distribute their profits free of dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico Financial Institutions, obligations of the government of Puerto Rico, 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 equal to 30% of their proportionate share in the exempted business' 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 a 4% income tax rate.

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, provides exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to 10 years. In addition, it provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in hotel development projects.

As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the government of Puerto Rico established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of GDB with the authority to make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry. The Fund was initially capitalized with $50,000,000 and was authorized to provide financial guarantees for financing hotel development projects. To date the Fund has provided financial guarantees to private entities issuing bonds or borrowing funds to finance the development of thirteen hotel projects that provided approximately 3,000 new hotel rooms.

U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico have been subject to special tax provisions since the Revenue Act of 1921. Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1976, Section 931 of the Code provided that U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico would be taxed only on income arising from sources within the U.S. and were entitled to exclude income from sources outside of the U.S., if for the three-year period immediately preceding the end of the taxable year: (i) 80% or more of the gross income of the corporation was derived from sources within Puerto Rico; and (ii) 50% or more of their gross income was derived from active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto Rico.

The Tax Report Act of 1976 created Section 936 of the 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. Amendments to Section 936 made in 1993 (the "1993 Amendments") instituted two alternative methods for calculating the tax credit and limited the amount of the credit that a qualifying company could claim. These limitations are based on a percentage of qualifying income (the "percentage of income limitation") and on qualifying expenditures on wages, other wage related benefits, and other qualifying expenditures (the "economic activity limitation," also known as the "wage credit limitation"). As a result of additional amendments made in 1996 (the "1996 Amendments"), as described below, the tax credit is now being phased out over a ten-year period for existing claimants and is no longer available for corporations that establish operations in Puerto Rico after October 13, 1995 (including existing Section 936 Corporations (as defined below) to the extent substantially new operations are established in Puerto Rico). The 1996 Amendments also moved the credit based on the economic activity limitation to Section 30A of the Code and phased it out over 10 years. In addition, the 1996 Amendments eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. The Section 30A Credit and the remaining Section 936 credit are discussed below.

Section 30A. The 1996 Amendments added a new Section 30A to the Code. Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that meets certain gross income tests (which are similar to the 80% and 75% gross income tests of Section 936 of the Code discussed below) to claim a credit (the "Section 30A Credit") against the federal income tax imposed on taxable income derived from sources outside the U.S. from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico or from the sale of substantially all the assets used in such business ("possession income").

A QDC is a U.S. corporation which: (i) was actively conducting a trade or business in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995; (ii) had a Section 936 election in effect for its taxable year that included October 13, 1995; (iii) does not have in effect an election to use the percentage limitation of Section 936(a)(4)(B) of the Code; and (iv) does not add a "substantial new line of business."

The Section 30A Credit is limited to the sum of: (i) 60% of qualified possession wages as defined in the Code, which includes wages up to 85% of the maximum earnings subject to the OASDI portion of Social Security taxes plus an allowance for fringe benefits of 15% of qualified possession wages; (ii) a specified percentage of depreciation deductions ranging between 15% and 65%, based on the class life of tangible property; and (iii) a portion of Puerto Rico income taxes paid by the QDC, up to a 9% effective tax rate (but only if the QDC does not elect the profit-split method for allocating income from intangible property).

A QDC electing Section 30A of the Code may compute the amount of its active business income eligible for the Section 30A Credit by using the cost-sharing formula, the profit-split formula, or the cost-plus formula, under the same rules and guidelines prescribed for such formulas as provided under Section 936 (see discussion below). To be eligible for the first two formulas, the QDC must have a significant presence in Puerto Rico.

In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the amount of possession income that would qualify for the Section 30A Credit would be subject to a cap based on the QDC's possession income for an average adjusted base period ending before October 14, 1995 (the "income cap").

Section 30A applies only to taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995 and before January 1, 2006.

Section 936. Under Section 936 of the Code, as amended by the 1996 Amendments, U.S. corporations that meet certain requirements and elect its application ("Section 936 Corporations") are entitled to credit against their U.S. corporate income tax, the portion of such tax attributable to income derived from the active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto Rico ("active business income") and from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in the active conduct of such trade or business. To qualify under Section 936 in any given taxable year, a corporation must derive for the three-year period immediately preceding the end of such taxable year: (i) 80% or more of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico; and (ii) 75% or more of its gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico.

Under Section 936, a Section 936 Corporation may elect to compute its active business income, eligible for the Section 936 credit, under one of three formulas: (A) a cost-sharing formula, whereby it is allowed to claim all profits attributable to manufacturing intangibles and other functions carried out in Puerto Rico provided it makes a cost sharing payment in the amount required under section 936; (B) a profit-split formula, whereby it is allowed to claim 50% of the combined net income of its affiliated group from the sale of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; or (C) a cost-plus formula, whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. To be eligible for the first two formulas, the Section 936 Corporation must have a significant business presence in Puerto Rico for purposes of the Section 936 rules.

As a result of the 1993 Amendments and the 1996 Amendments, the Section 936 credit is only available to companies that were operating in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, and had elected the percentage of income limitation and is limited in amount to 40% of the credit allowable prior to the 1993 Amendments, subject to a five-year phase-in period from 1994 to 1998 during which period the percentage of the allowable credit is reduced from 60% to 40%.

In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the possession income subject to the Section 936 credit will be subject to a cap based on the Section 936 Corporation's possession income for an average adjusted base period ending on October 14, 1995. The Section 936 credit is eliminated for taxable years beginning in 2006.

Because of the credit limitations and impending phase-out, a large number of firms previously operating under the provisions of Sections 936 and 30A have restructured their operations in Puerto Rico, in whole or in part, to become controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"). The Puerto Rico Office of Tax Exemption has received notification of over sixty corporations that have converted part or all of their operations under Puerto Rico tax incentives laws to CFCs. These corporations include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronics companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico.

CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those of Sections 936 and 30A corporations. In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a large 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 companies were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 10% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments.

Because of the jump in net property income reported in manufacturing and rapidly rising withholding taxes on royalty payments, it is reasonable to believe that a significant share of the net income previously in Section 936 corporations operating under the profit-split method has been reincorporated in CFCs.

The plan has three substantive components. First, Sections 30A and 936 would be allowed to expire according to their terms, and they would not be amended to remove the limitations that were scheduled to take effect at the end of 2001. Second, Section 956 would be amended to exclude from current U.S. tax 90% of the otherwise taxable investments in "U.S. property" made by a Qualified Possessions CFC (defined below) out of its Qualified Possessions Income (defined below). Third, transition rules would be provided for companies now conducting operations in Puerto Rico (i.e., existing Sections 936 and 30A credit claimants).

A "Qualified Possession CFC" would be defined under the Code as a controlled foreign corporation, incorporated in Puerto Rico or another U.S. possession. "Qualified Possessions Income" would be limited to that portion of the CFC's post-2001 foreign source income that is derived from the active conduct by the CFC of a trade or business in Puerto Rico (or another possession) or from the sale or exchange of substantially all the assets used by the CFC in the active conduct of such a trade or business. The proposed Section 956 exclusion would be applicable only to income that is eligible for deferral under general U.S. tax principles. Thus, for example, passive income received by the CFC could not be converted from income that is currently taxable under Subpart F into income eligible for deferral by the investment of such amounts in U.S. property pursuant to the proposed amendment to Section 956.

The new Section 956 exclusion and the related transition rule would be effective for taxable years of CFCs, beginning after December 31, 2001.

Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations. Direct debt of the Commonwealth is supported by Commonwealth taxes. 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.

Historically, the Commonwealth has maintained a fiscal policy that provides for a prudent relationship between the growth of public sector debt and the growth of the economic base required to service that debt. During fiscal 1996, 1997, and 1998, however, public sector debt increased at a greater rate than the growth of gross product due to an increase in the amount of debt incurred to finance certain key infrastructure projects, which are important to the development of the economy and are expected to produce long-term economic benefits, and debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt to enable Puerto Rico to benefit from the historically low levels of interest rates and realize debt service savings.

As of December 31, 2000, outstanding short-term debt, relative to total debt, was 9.8%.

Public employees of the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities are covered by four retirement systems: The Employees Retirements System of the Government of Puerto Rico and its Instrumentalities (the "Employees Retirement System"), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 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").

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 government of Puerto Rico is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.

The Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the government of Puerto Rico, its municipalities and instrumentalities. As of June 30, 2000, the total number of active members of the two systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 158,000 and Judiciary Retirement System, 343. The two systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the government of Puerto Rico, public corporations, or municipalities), employees, and investment income. The government is responsible for approximately 66% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System and 100% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary Retirement System. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employees are determined by statute. Required contributions to the systems by employers are determined by the Administrators of the Systems with respect to the Employees and Judiciary Retirement Systems.

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, 2000, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System and the Judiciary Retirement System was $9,459,300,000 and $135,800,000, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period was $7,417,500,000 and $53,000,000, respectively representing a funding ratio of 22% and 61%, respectively. The actuarial valuation was completed in accordance with the "Projected Unit Credit" method. An investment return of 8.5% per year, a salary increase of 5% per year, and a post-retirement benefit increase of 3% every third year were assumed.

On February 1, 1990, the Legislature of Puerto Rico enacted Act No. 1 amending the organic act of the Employees Retirement System to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of contribution to the System and limited the retirement benefits for new employees by increasing the length of time 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.

Also, Act No. 305 of September 24, 1999, further amended the organic act of the Employees Retirement System 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 government after December 31, 1999 and for 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 do not elect to transfer to the new defined contribution system will continue accruing benefits under the current defined benefits 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 government contributions. Instead, government contributions will now be used completely to reduce the unfunded accumulated pension liability of the Employees Retirement System.

Based on actuarial studies conducted by the actuary of the Employees Retirement System, it is expected that the implementation of the defined contribution system will allow the government to reduce the current actuarial deficit of the Employees Retirement System. Also, the law approving the sale of a controlling interest in the Puerto Rico Telephone Company ("PRTC") to a consortium led by GTE International Telecommunications Incorporated provides that any future proceeds received by the government from the sale of its remaining 43% stock ownership in PRTC will be transferred to the Employees Retirement System to reduce its accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation.

The fiscal year of the government of Puerto Rico begins each July 1. The Governor is constitutionally required to submit to the Legislature an annual balanced budget of capital improvements and operating expenses of the central government for the ensuing fiscal year. The annual budget is prepared by Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), working with the Planning Board, the Department of 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."

The annual budget, which is developed utilizing elements of program budgeting and zero-base 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 her judgment are necessary, convenient, and in conformity with the four-year investment plan prepared by the Planning Board.

The Legislature 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 Legislature, 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 Legislature with her objections. The Legislature, by a two-thirds majority in each house, may override the Governor's veto. If a budget is not adopted prior to the end of the fiscal year, the annual budget for the preceding fiscal year as originally approved by the Legislature and the Governor is automatically renewed for the ensuing fiscal year until a new budget is approved by the Legislature and the Governor. This permits the government of Puerto Rico to continue to make payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.

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 Legislature a detailed report of any adjustment necessary to balance the budget, or make recommendations to the Legislature 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.

Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980 created a Budgetary Fund, as amended (the "Budgetary Fund Act"), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, honor the public debt, and provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public services. The Budgetary Fund Act was amended in 1994 to require that an annual legislative appropriation equal to one third of one percent (.33%) of the total budgeted appropriations for each fiscal year be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. In 1997, the Budgetary Fund Act was further amended to increase the annual legislative appropriation required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund to one percent (1%) of the total revenues of the preceding fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2000. 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 six percent (6%) of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year.

In Puerto Rico, the central government has many functions which in the fifty states are the responsibility of local government, such as providing public education and police and fire protection. The central government also makes large annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico, PRASA, and to the municipalities. The grants to the University of Puerto Rico are included in current expenses for education and the debt service on general obligation bonds is included in current expenses for debt service. Debt service on Sugar Corporation notes paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for economic development, and debt service on Urban Renewal and Housing Corporation bonds and notes and on Housing Bank and Finance Agency mortgage subsidy bonds paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for housing.

Approximately 25.2% of the General Fund is committed for payment of fixed changes such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, contributions to Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, and rental payments to Public Building Authority, among others.

In the fiscal 2001 budget proposal, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds total $11,312,169,000 excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The estimated net increase in General Fund revenues in fiscal 2001 is accounted for by increases in personal income taxes (up $215,934,000), corporation income taxes (up $14,138,000), Federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (up $45,250,000), general excise tax of 5% (up $73,438,000), excise tax on motor vehicles and accessories (up $51,005,000), special excise tax on certain petroleum products (up $45,214,000), registration and documentation fees (up $21,144,000), excise tax on alcoholic beverages (up $21,626,000), and decreases in tollgate taxes (down $17,130,000), and income tax withheld from non-residents (down $32,276,000).

Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $11,800,543,000, an increase of $760,761,000 from fiscal 2000. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program are: increases in general government (up $129,339,000), education (up $240,844,000), health (up $55,602,000), public safety and protection (up $95,263,000), debt service (up $36,874,000), other debts (up $30,460,000), special pension contributions (up $6,908,000), housing (up $1,306,000), and contributions to municipalities (up $6,567,000), and decreases in economic development (down $43,481,000), welfare (down $6,257,000), and transportation and communications (down $5,294,000).

The general obligation bond authorization for the fiscal 2001 budget was $425,000,000.

In the fiscal 2002 budget proposal, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds total $11,523,363, 000 excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The estimated net increase in General Fund revenues in fiscal 2002 is accounted for principally by increases in personal income taxes (up $20,000,000), retained non-resident income tax (up $145,000,000), licenses (up $1,000,000), and interest subject to 17% (up $2,000,000), and decreases in electronic lottery revenues (down $2,000,000), special excise tax on certain petroleum products (down $20,000,000), contributions from lottery fund (down $2,000,000), general excise of 5% (down $8,000,000), federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (down $11,000,000), excise tax on alcoholic beverages (down $13,000,000), motor vehicles and accessories (down $24,000,000), tollgate taxes (down $58,000,000), corporation income taxes (down $107,000,000), and customs (down $18,000,000).

Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $11,978,831,000, an increase of $178,288,000 from fiscal 2001. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal 2001 are: increases in general government (up $96,940,000), public safety and protection (up $48,634,000), debt service (up $29,716,000), contributions to municipalities (up $45,504,000), other debts (up $47,819,000), education (up $29,109,000), economic development (up $16,430,000), and special pension contributions (up $3,771,000), and decreases in transportation and communications (down $100,000), housing (down $176,000), welfare (down $5,492,000), and health (down $233,528,000).

The general obligation bond authorization proposed for the fiscal 2002 budget is $465,000,000.

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. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

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 will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund<R> may receive c</R>ommissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided 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. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or 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.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the fund or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

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 and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2002<R> and 2001,</R> the fund's portfolio turnover rates were <R>5</R>% and 11%, respectively.

The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended August 31<R>, 2002, </R>2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$240</R>, $240, and $180, respectively.

<R>During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, the fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing res</R>earch services.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. 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.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.

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 (i<R>ncluding proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of t</R>hese 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 in<R>vestment acco</R>unts 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 to be appropriate and equitable to each fund. In some cases this system 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. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's net asset value per share (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.

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.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, yield and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Yield Calculations. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the fund's interest and income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflect the fund's short-term trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. Capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to an investor's account, or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing that portion of the fund's yield that is tax-exempt by the result of one minus the applicable specifie<R>d </R>combined federal and/or state and/or county income tax rate and adding the quotient to that portion, if any, of the fund's yield that is not tax-exempt.

The following tables show the effect of a shareholder's tax bracket on tax-equivalent yield unde<R>r federal,</R> state, and county income tax laws for <R>2002. T</R>he first table shows applicable effective income tax rates at various income brackets for 2002. The second table shows, for tax-exempt securities with different yields, the yield on a taxable security that is approximately equivalent to the tax-exempt security's yield after taking into account the effect of various effective income tax rates on the taxable security. Of course, no assurance can be given that the fund will have any specific yield. While the fund invests principally in securities whose interest is exempt from federal, applicable state, and county income tax, some portion of the distributions paid by the fund may be taxable.

* Net amount subject to federal income tax after deductions and exemptions. Assumes ordinary income only.

** Assumes a shareholder itemizes deductions. Excludes the impact of any alternative minimum tax, the phaseout of personal exemptions, limitations on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and adjustments which may increase a taxpayer's marginal income tax rate. An increase in a shareholder's marginal income tax rate would increase that shareholder's tax-equivalent yield.

The fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that are subject to federal and/or state and/or county income taxes. When the fund invests in these securities, its tax-equivalent yield may be lower. In the table above, the tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming securities are 100% exempt from federal, state, and county income taxes.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a befo<R>re-tax a</R>nd an after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of the fund's short-term trading fee or the effect of the fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding the fund's short-term trading fee or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns, yields and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

<R>Historical Fund Results. The following table shows the fund's yield, tax-equivalent yield, and returns for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2002.</R>

<R>After-tax returns 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. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.</R>

The tax-equivalent yield for the fund is <R>base</R>d on a combined effective federal, state, and county income tax rate of <R>40.14</R>%.

As of Aug<R>ust 31, </R>2002, none of the fund's income was subject to state and county income taxes. Note that the fund may invest in securities whose income is subject to the federal or Maryland alternative minimum tax.

<R>Note: If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these periods, the fund's returns would have been lower.</R>

<R>The fund may compare its return to the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index (S&P 500(registered trademark)), the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM (DJIA SM), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons would show how the fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively. Because the fund invests in debt securities, common stocks represent a different type of investment from the fund. Common stocks generally offer greater growth potential than the fund, but generally experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than an investment such as the fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

Performance Comparisons. The fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising. The fund may advertise risk ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating agencies.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

The fund may compare its performance to that of the Lehman Brothers® Municipal Bond Index, a market value-weighted index for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more. Issues included in the index have been issued after December 31, 1990 and have been issued as part of an offering of at least $50 million. After December 31, 1995, zero coupon bonds and issues subject to the alternative minimum tax are included in the index. Issues included in the index prior to January 1, 2000 have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million; while issues included in the index after January 1, 2000 have an outstanding par value of at least $5 million.

Spartan Maryland Municipal Income may compare its performance to that of the Lehman Brothers Maryland 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of Maryland investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of four years or more.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

The fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual municipal bond. Unlike municipal bond mutual funds, individual municipal bonds offer a stated rate of interest and, if held to maturity, repayment of principal. Although some individual municipal bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer the reduced risk of a mutual fund that invests in many different securities. The sales charges of many municipal bond mutual funds are lower than the purchase cost of individual municipal bonds, which are generally subject to direct brokerage costs.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals, as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity <R>publications</R> provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance results.</R>

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron® number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, the fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.

Momentum Indicators indicate the fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of August 31, 2002, FM<R>R advised over $50 billion in municipal fund assets, $193 billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $188 billion in money market fund as</R>sets, $409 billion in equity fund assets, and $18 billion in international fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

In addition to performance rankings, the fund may compare its total expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked by Lipper. The fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in comparing debt and money market investments because of its effect on yield.

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.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. To the extent that the fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund are also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are taxable as dividends, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

The fund purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR believes is free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other parties have entered 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 retroactive 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.

Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although the interest contin<R>ues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the p</R>urposes 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>

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 <R>personal</R> 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 <R>personal </R>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 <R>personal </R>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 <R>personal </R>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 <R>personal </R>income tax purposes to the extent such interest is allocable to exempt-interest dividends.

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

<R>As of </R>August 31<R>, 2002, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $1,060,000. This loss carryforward, of which $791,000, $18,000, and $251,000 will expire on </R>August 31, 2004, 2008, and 2009, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains, subject to certain limitations.

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.

** During the period from November 1, 2000 through September 17, 2002, Mr. Stavropoulos served as a Member of the Advisory Board of Fidelity Union Street Trust. Effective September 18, 2002, Mr. Stavropoulos serves as a Member of the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust.

A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001 for 264 funds of 56 trusts in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $111,000; Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $30,723; Ralph F. Cox, $30,723; Ned C. Lautenbach, $38,103; and William O. McCoy, $38,103.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

<R>As of August 31, 2002, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the fund's total outstanding shares.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR and Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class 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 stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock 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 Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

FMR, F<R>IMM (the Invest</R>ment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the fund have adopted a code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that sets forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establishes procedures for personal investing, and restricts certain transactions. Employees subject to the code 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.

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, directs 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 b<R>ears these costs. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services, and pricing and </R>bookkeeping services.

FMR pays all other expenses of the fund with the following exceptions: fees and expenses of the non-interested 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 non-interested Trustees.

<R>For the fiscal years ended </R>August 31<R>, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FMR management fees of $467,132, $339,191, and $265,468, respectively, after reduction of fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested Trustees. In addition, for the fiscal years ended </R>August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, credits reducing management fees amounted to $67,927, $89,211, and $46,359, respectively.

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), 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 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 primary responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR pays FIMM fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FIMM are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 200<R>2</R>, 2001, and 2000, FMR paid FIMM fees of $233,433, $169,596, and $132,734, respectively.

<R>BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS</R>

<R></R>Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of the fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of the fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with the fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (d) the composition of peer groups of funds, (e) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (f) investment management staffing, (g) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (h) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (i) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R></R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's bond group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including the fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of the fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to the fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. <R>The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.</R> FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, 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.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf 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 the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

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 fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Spartan Maryland Municipal Income shares.

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 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 fund shares, additional sales of fund shares 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.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

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, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer 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 for the fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

FSC also collects 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, Citibank receives the pro<R> rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Sm</R>all Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the Q<R>TP's, F</R>reedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC 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.

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 FSC. 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.

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

Trust Organization. Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 1, 1974. Currently, there are three funds in the trust: Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund, Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund, and Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

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.

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.

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. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate 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.

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.

Auditor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, serves as independent accountant for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financi<R>al highlights for th</R>e fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

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 Service Company, Inc. ("FSC") is appointed transfer agent, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold FSC 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 FSC and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not result from FSC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FSC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FSC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from FSC'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 FSC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FSC to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of FSC'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.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc. ("FSC") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the Transfer Agent agrees to indemnify FSC for FSC'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.
