SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a Unit Investment Trust. A summary of the significant accounting policies, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements since July 7, 1983, its initial date of deposit, is as follows: (a) Securities are stated at market value based on the last sales price reported at the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange. Substantially all of the aggregate cost of securities represents the market value of the shares of common stock of American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) on the days the shares were exchanged for units of the Fund; such aggregate cost was subsequently allocated among the portfolio holdings in shares of AT&T and the seven regional holding companies following their divestiture by AT&T in accordance with its Plan of Reorganization. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are determined using the identified cost basis. (b) The Fund is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes is required.
