Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Spartan^® New York Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

• Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.
• <R>Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index, which as of January 31, 2005, was the Lehman Brothers^® New York 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index.</R>
• 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 New York 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 they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in Spartan New York Municipal Income. The information illustrates the changes in Spartan New York Municipal Income's performance from year to year and compares Spartan New York Municipal Income's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time.

Average Annual Returns

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 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.

^A Effective August 1, 2002 FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Spartan New York Municipal Income to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.55%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that Spartan New York Municipal Income's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and Spartan New York Municipal Income's annual operating expenses are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Spartan New York Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

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

<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 January 31, 2005, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers New York 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of January 31, 2005, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 15.5 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 14.6 years.</R>

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.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities, and 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, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

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, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

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 New York, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

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

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.

<R>Geographic Concentration. The economic condition and finances of the City and State of New York are closely related and both the City and the State have experienced financial difficulty. The fiscal demands on the State may be affected by the fiscal condition of the City, which relies in part on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. It is also possible that the State's finances may be affected by the ability of the City, and certain entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, to market securities successfully in the public credit markets.</R>

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

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

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

Fund Basics - continued

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 New York State and City personal income taxes.

Fundamental Investment Policies

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

Spartan New York Municipal Income Fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

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

Spartan New York Municipal Income's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates Spartan New York Municipal Income'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 Spartan New York Municipal Income's NAV.

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

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

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone or electronically, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted based on criteria established by Fidelity.

Minimums
Initial Purchase	$10,000
Subsequent Purchase	$1,000
Through regular investment plans	$500
Balance	$5,000

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

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term shareholders in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of fund shares. However, there is the risk that the fund's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

<R>There is no minimum holding period and shareholders can sell their shares at any time. Shareholders will ordinarily comply with the fund's policies regarding excessive trading by allowing 90 days to pass after each investment before they sell or exchange from the fund. The fund may take action if shares are held longer than 90 days if the trading is disruptive for other reasons such as unusually large trade size. The fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase or exchange transaction at any time. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus. In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a redemption fee (short-term trading fee) on redemptions from the fund which is discussed in "Selling Shares."</R>

Excessive trading activity is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder buys and then sells shares of a fund within 30 days. Shareholders are limited to two roundtrip transactions per fund within any rolling 90-day period, subject to an overall limit of four roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds over a rolling 12-month period. Roundtrip transactions are counted at the shareholder account level for this purpose and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. Transactions of $1,000 or less, systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, mandatory retirement distributions, and transactions initiated by a plan sponsor will not count toward the roundtrip limits. For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges will count toward the roundtrip limits.

Prospectus

<R>Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block for an 85-day period. For repeat offenders, FMR may, but does not have the obligation to, impose long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's common control at any time, other than a participant's account held through an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted a minimum of one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.</R>

<R>Qualified wrap programs will be monitored by matching the adviser's orders for purchase, exchange, or sale transactions in fund shares to determine if the adviser's orders comply with the fund's frequent trading policies. Additions to and withdrawals from a qualified wrap program by the adviser's client will not be matched with transactions initiated by the adviser. Therefore if the adviser buys shares of a fund and an individual client subsequently sells shares of the same fund within 30 days, the client's transaction is not matched with the adviser's and therefore does not count as a roundtrip. However, client initiated transactions are subject to the fund's policies on frequent trading and individual clients will be subject to restrictions due to their frequent trading in a wrap account. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will cease to be a qualified wrap program. If the wrap program is blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of a fund because of excessive trading by the adviser the wrap program will no longer be considered qualified and any transaction whether initiated by the adviser or the client will be matched when counting roundtrips. Commencing no later than March 31, 2005, wrap account client purchases and sale transactions will be monitored under the fund's monitoring policy as though the wrap clients were fund shareholders. A qualified wrap program is: i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.</R>

Shareholder Information - continued

<R>The fund's excessive trade monitoring policy described above does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund-of-fund(s) or other strategy funds, or omnibus accounts. Trustees or advisers of donor-advised charitable gift funds must certify to the fund's satisfaction that they either work from an asset allocation model or direct transactions in their accounts in concert with changes in a model portfolio and that participants are limited in their ability to influence investments by the trust. A qualified fund-of-fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's policies on frequent trading to shareholders at the fund-of-fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund-of-fund(s) has policies designed to control frequent trading and that they are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer. The adviser to the fund-of-fund(s) must also demonstrate to the Fidelity fund's Treasurer that its investment strategy will not lead to excessive trading. Strategy funds must commence monitoring for excessive trading no later than March 31, 2005. Omnibus accounts are maintained by intermediaries acting on behalf of multiple investors whose individual trades are not ordinarily disclosed to the fund. Short-term trading by these investors is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs and disrupt portfolio management. The fund will monitor aggregate trading in qualified fund-of-funds and known omnibus accounts to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. There is no assurance that these policies will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter market timing.</R>

<R>The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.</R>

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except as provided under the fund's policies with respect to known omnibus accounts, qualified fund-of-fund(s), qualified wrap accounts, donor-advised charitable gift funds, and 30 day roundtrips.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of Spartan New York Municipal Income is its NAV. Spartan New York Municipal Income shares are sold without a sales charge.

Prospectus

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

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders, including exchanges.

For example, 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.

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 Spartan New York Municipal Income 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.

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

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of Spartan New York Municipal Income is its NAV, minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

The fund will deduct a 0.50% short-term trading fee from the redemption amount (or from your account if you have written a check) 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 short-term shareholder trading.

The trading fee does not apply to i) reinvested dividends, ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund as long as the monies never leave the fund, iii) transfers between classes of a multiple class fund so long as the monies never leave the fund, or iv) redemptions in kind. Fidelity may assess trading fees in any of the preceding transactions if the transaction is intended to circumvent the fund's redemption fee policy. Trading fees apply to shares redeemed due to failure to maintain the balance minimum, even if the balance falls below the minimum due to market action.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

The trading fee applies to all accounts, including wrap program accounts, except i) investment advisers that manage accounts that invest in the fund, including Strategic Advisers, an affiliate of FMR, may pay trading fees on behalf of their investors, ii) strategy funds, which are unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets, will be treated as a single entity under the trading fee policy, and iii) intermediaries that hold shares on behalf of investors are required by the fund to track trading fees on shares purchased on or after January 3, 2005, based upon the age of the shares of each individual investor, and to remit the trading fees to the fund. The fund will refuse purchase orders from any identified intermediary who does not agree to track and remit trading fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. The Treasurer may extend the effective date for intermediaries that agree to track and remit redemption fees under an implementation plan that the intermediary commits to completing by a date approved by the fund.

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. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

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 and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, 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.
• 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

• 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.
• If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and you sell shares by writing a check, if available, 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.
• Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

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

Exchanging Shares

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

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

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

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

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.

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 March 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Spartan New York Municipal Income shares. 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income shares. 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income shares, 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. Spartan New York Municipal Income seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Prospectus

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

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 New York personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of New York 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 New York 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 New York 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 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 New York personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund 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 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For January 2005, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.</R>

<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, was 0.38% of the fund's average net assets.</R>

FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

FMR retains the ability to be repaid by Spartan New York Municipal Income 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes Spartan New York Municipal Income's shares.

<R>Intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, other service-providers and third parties such as retirement plan sponsors and administrators may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services, or, at the direction of a retirement plan's named fiduciary, payments for certain plan expenses or otherwise for the benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries, or payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary or recordkeeper. These payments are described in more detail on the following pages and in the SAI.</R>

<R>Spartan New York Municipal Income has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Spartan New York Municipal Income shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Spartan New York Municipal Income. The SAI contains further details about these payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.</R>

Prospectus

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Spartan New York Municipal Income'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.

<R>If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution-related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries that receive these payments and investment professionals may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund over another. Similarly, investment professionals that receive more distribution assistance for one share class versus another may have an incentive to recommend that class over another.</R>

<R>In addition, the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make non-distribution related payments and reimbursements from their own resources to certain intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services that the funds' transfer agent would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not increase the fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.</R>

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

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

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

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

Senior Securities

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

Borrowing

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

Underwriting

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

Concentration

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

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

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

Real Estate

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

Commodities

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

Loans

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

Investing for Control or Management

The fund may not invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management.

Pooled Funds

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

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

Diversification

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

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

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

Short Sales

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

Margin Purchases

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

Borrowing

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

Illiquid Securities

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

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

Loans

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

Pooled Funds

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

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

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

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 short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.

Central Funds are 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 regulatory 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, options, and swaps: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures, Options, and Swap 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.

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 Index, and some 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.

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

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

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, Options, and Swap Transactions. The trust, on behalf of the fund, has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the fund's operation. Accordingly, the fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.

The fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, write call options, or enter into swap agreements if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and/or options and/or swap agreements under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts, write put options, or enter into swap agreements (other than swaps entered into for hedging purposes under (a)) if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options plus the notional amount of any such swaps 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 futures, options, or swaps.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts, options, and swaps, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts, options, and swaps 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 are less liquid and 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.

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, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for the total return of a security or index), and credit default swaps (where one party pays a fixed rate and the other agrees to buy a specific issuer's debt at par upon the occurrence of certain agreed events, including for example, if the issuer is bankrupt, defaults on any of its debt obligations or makes arrangements with a creditor to modify a debt obligation).

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.

Swap agreements also may allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer. The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the 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 the case of a physically settled credit default swap written by the fund, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of eligible debt of a defaulted issuer. If a swap counterparty's creditworthiness declines, the risk that they may not perform may increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. In the case of a credit default swap written by the fund, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the underlying referenced entity (the debt issuer as to which credit protection has been written) has deteriorated. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the underlying referenced entity has declined.

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. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by Moody's^® Investors Service, Standard & Poor's^® (S&P^®), Fitch Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or another credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) by the SEC, 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.

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 New York 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 (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.

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 per share (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. 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 NEW YORK

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

<R>Special Considerations Relating to New York Municipal Securities</R>

<R>New York State (the "State") is the third most populous state in the nation and has a relatively high level of personal wealth. The State's economy is diverse, with a comparatively large share of the nation's financial activities, information, education, and health services employment, and a very small share of the nation's farming and mining activity. The State's location and its air transport facilities and natural harbors have made it an important link in international commerce. Travel and tourism constitute an important part of the economy. Like the rest of the nation, New York has a declining proportion of its workforce engaged in manufacturing, and an increasing proportion engaged in service industries. </R>

<R>Recent above-trend national growth rates have helped to buttress the New York State economy. The State is estimated to have emerged from recession in the summer of 2003. The New York City economy is well on its way to a full recovery from the impact of the September 11^th attack, reversing several years where the City's job base was in decline. The continued strengthening of the State economy will help to sustain the housing market, although not at the fast pace of growth observed in 2004. Moreover, with the pickup in equity market activity toward the end of 2004, the profit outlook for the finance industry is brightening, though the level of profits for the year is not expected to match that of 2003. Bonus growth is expected to slow to 15 percent resulting in total New York wage growth of 4.9 percent for 2005, reduced modestly from 5.7 percent in 2004. State nonagricultural employment is projected to rise 1.1 percent in 2005, a significant improvement compared with 0.4 percent growth for 2004, but below projected growth of 1.8 percent for the nation.</R>

<R>As of the close of 2003-04, balances in the State's principal reserves to guard against unbudgeted risks totaled $815 million. The reserves include $794 million in the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund and $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund for litigation. Aside from the $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund, the current Financial Plan does not set aside specific reserves to cover potential costs that could materialize as a result of adverse rulings in pending litigation, Federal disallowances, or other Federal actions that could adversely affect the State's projections of receipts and disbursements.</R>

<R>The Federal government is currently auditing Medicaid claims submitted since 1993 under the School Supportive Health Services Program. At this point, these audits have not been finalized, and, as a result, the liability of the State and school districts for any disallowances cannot be determined. Federal regulations include an appeals process that could postpone repayment of any disallowances. The proposed 2005-06 Financial Plan assumes the Federal government will fully reimburse these costs.</R>

<R>In addition, a portion of Federal Medicaid payments related to School Supportive Health Services has been deferred by the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pending finalization of audits. Since the State has continued to reimburse local school districts for these costs, these Federal deferrals, if not resolved, could negatively impact the Financial Plan. Alternatively, if the State suspends reimbursement, local governments could be adversely affected.</R>

<R>GAAP - Basis Financial Plan</R>

<R>The Division of Budget (DOB) prepares the General Fund and All Governmental Funds Financial Plans in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The GAAP results for 2003-04 and the projections for 2004-05 are based on the accounting principles applied by the State Comptroller in the financial statements issued for the 2003-04 State fiscal year, and reflect the impact of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements, Statement Number 34, "Basic Financial Statements - Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) - for State and Local Governments" ("GASB 34"). The changes are intended to portray the State's net overall financial condition, including activities that affect State assets and liabilities during the fiscal year. </R>

<R>The General Fund is anticipated to end the 2004-05 fiscal year with an operating deficit of $1.1 billion on a GAAP basis, which is primarily attributable to the use of the 2003-04 surplus and the remaining tobacco reserves in 2004-05. As a result, the accumulated deficit is projected at $1.4 billion by the end of the 2004-05 fiscal year.</R>

<R>GAAP - Basis Results for Fiscal Year 2003-04</R>

<R>The Comptroller prepares general purpose financial statements on a GAAP basis for governments as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The statements, released in July each year, contain a Combined Balance Sheet and Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. These statements are audited by independent certified public accountants. The Comptroller also prepares and issues a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which includes a financial overview, the general purpose financial statements, individual fund combining statements, and a statistical section. </R>

<R>Both the Basic Financial Statements and Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for prior fiscal years can be obtained from the Office of the State Comptroller, 110 State Street, Albany, NY 12236 or at the OSC website at www.osc.state.ny.us. </R>

<R>The State's general purposes financial statements for fiscal year 2003-04 prepared on a GAAP basis reflect the following.</R>

<R>Net Assets. The State reported net assets of $41.2 billion, which was comprised of $60.5 billion in capital assets reported net of related debt, $4.3 billion in restricted net assets offset by an unrestricted net assets deficit of $23.6 billion. Net assets reported for governmental activities decreased by $3.3 billion from 2002-03, decreasing from $42.4 billion to $39.1 billion, a decrease of $3.3 billion from the 2002-03. Unrestricted net assets - the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, or other legal requirements - was a deficit of $24.0 billion at March 31, 2004.</R>

<R>The deficit in unrestricted governmental net assets arose primarily because of the issuance of debt for purposes not resulting in a capital asset related to governmental activities. Such outstanding debt included securitizing the State's future tobacco settlement receipts ($4.8 billion) and bonding for local aid payments for school education aid that were financed on a long-term basis by the Local Government Assistance Corporation ($4.6 billion), local highway and bridge projects ($2.7 billion), local mass transit projects ($2.4 billion), and a wide variety of grants and other expenditures not resulting in governmental capital assets ($6.5 billion). This deficit in unrestricted net assets of governmental activities can be expected to continue for as long as the State continues to have obligations outstanding for purposes other than the acquisition of governmental capital assets.</R>

<R>Net assets for business-type activities decreased by 16.5%, $2.1 billion in 2003-04 compared to $2.5 billion in 2003. The decrease in net assets for business-type activities was caused primarily by unemployment benefit payments exceeding employer contributions and other revenues for the Unemployment Insurance Fund ($287 million) and CUNY Senior College operating expenses exceeding operating revenues and State support ($143 million). As of June 30, 2003, $8.0 billion in debt had been issued and was outstanding to finance capital assets of the State's colleges and universities.</R>

<R>Governmental Activities. The State's total expenses for governmental activities of $94.6 billion exceeded its total revenues of $92.5 billion by $2.1 billion. However, the amount that taxpayers ultimately financed for activities through State taxes and other State revenue was $48.0 billion, education aid transfers from the State Lottery was $1.9 billion, grants and contributions was $37.5 billion, and revenues derived by those who directly benefited from the programs was $7.0 billion. Overall, the State's governmental program revenues, including intergovernmental aid, fees for services and capital grants were $44.5 billion in 2003-04. The State paid for the remaining "public benefit" portion of governmental activities with $43.7 billion in taxes and $4.3 billion in other revenues including investment earnings.</R>

<R>Business-type Activities. The cost of all business-type activities in 2003-04 was $15.6 billion. The amount that tax-payers ultimately financed for activities reported as transfers was $797 million because some activity costs were paid by those directly benefiting from the programs ($8.4 billion), grants and contributions ($5.6 billion) and other miscellaneous revenue ($342 million).</R>

<R>State Funds. The State uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with legal and finance related requirements. As the State completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $6.2 billion. Included in this year's total change in fund balance is an operating surplus of $3.0 billion in the State's General Fund. The General Fund operating surplus is attributable to several factors including the sale of tobacco bonds which provided resources of $4.2 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion in personal income tax revenue, a $1.0 billion increase in consumption and use tax revenue, a $645 million increase in Federal grants and a $504 million increase in miscellaneous revenues, offset by a $206 million decline in business and other taxes. Much of the increase in tax revenues is related to improvement in the national economy and tax increases enacted for personal income and sales taxes. The improvement in the national economy favorably affected the State's economy in the form of job growth and increased spending by business. The increase in General Fund revenues was offset by a $2.5 billion increase in expenditures. Local assistance expenditures increased by $2.2 billion due primarily to increased spending for medical assistance and income maintenance programs. State operations increased $300 million due primarily to increased employer pension costs.</R>

<R>The State ended the 2003-04 fiscal year with a General Fund accumulated deficit of $281 million. The reduction of the accumulated deficit versus the accumulated deficit at the end of 2002-03 primarily reflects the restoration of reserves as a result of the improving State economy and the sale of tobacco bonds from which the General Fund received a $4.2 billion benefit.</R>

<R>Capital Assets. As of the end of the 2003-04 fiscal year, the State has $82.9 billion invested in a broad range of capital assets, including equipment, buildings, construction in progress, land preparation, and infrastructure which includes such things as roads and bridges. This amount represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $920 million over last year.</R>

<R>The State is responsible for maintaining more than 42,466 lane miles of highway and 7,798 bridges. Capital spending for highway and bridge maintenance and preservation projects was approximately $1.1 billion in 2004. The State's fiscal year 2005 capital budget calls for it to spend another $6.7 billion for capital projects, of which $3.5 billion is for transportation projects. To pay for these capital projects the State plans to use $207 million in general obligation bond proceeds, $3.5 billion in other financing arrangements with public authorities, $1.8 billion in Federal funds, and $1.1 billion in funds on hand or received during the year.</R>

<R>Debt Administration. The State has obtained long-term financing in the form of voter-approved General Obligation debt (voter approved debt) and other obligations for which voter approval is not needed and has not otherwise been sought (non-voter approved debt). Non-voter approved long-term financing at March 31, 2004 includes debt obligations the State pays pursuant to contractual obligations it entered into with the issuer. Such obligations include certain bonds issued through state public authorities, certificates of participation, and capital leases obtained through vendors. The State administers its long-term financing needs as a single portfolio of state-supported debt that includes general obligation bonds and other obligations of both its governmental activities and business-type activities. Most of the debt reported under business-type activities, all of which was issued for capital assets used in those activities, is supported by payments from resources generated by the State's Governmental Activities - thus it is not expected to be repaid from resources generated by business-type activities. The State Finance Law allows the bonded portion of this single combined debt portfolio, which includes debt reported in both governmental and business-type activities combined, to include debt instruments which result in a variable rate exposure in an amount that does not exceed 15% of total outstanding State-supported debt, and interest rate exchange agreements (swaps) that do not exceed 15% of total outstanding State-supported debt. At March 31, 2004 the State had $1.9 billion in State-supported variable rate bonds outstanding and $5.5 billion in variable rate bonds outstanding that are subject to swap agreements resulting in effective fixed rates, subject to certain risks. In addition, the State had $2.4 billion in convertible bonds that, at various dates in the future, can remain in a fixed rate mode, at new fixed rates to be established at future mandatory tender dates, or convert to a variable rate. At March 31, 2004, variable rate bonds, net of those subject to the fixed rate swaps, were equal to 4.7% of the State-supported bonded debt portfolio. Total swap agreements of $5.5 billion were equal to 13.5% of the total bonded portfolio.</R>

<R>At March 31, 2004 the State had $46.9 billion in bonds, notes, and other financing agreements outstanding compared with $39.3 billion last year, an increase of $7.6 billion.</R>

<R>2004-2005 Financial Plan</R>

<R>On March 31, 2004, the State Legislature enacted appropriations for all State-supported, contingent contractual, and certain other debt service obligations for the entire 2004-05 fiscal year. On August 11, 2004, the Legislature completed action on the remaining appropriations and accompanying legislation constituting the budget for the 2004-05 fiscal year. The Governor vetoed portions of the budget revisions enacted by the Legislature on August 20, 2004. The 2004-05 Enacted Budget Financial Plan (the "Enacted Budget Financial Plan") reflects the actions of the Legislature and Governor as of September 19, 2004.</R>

<R>The State's Financial Plan forecasts receipts and disbursements for the fiscal year and is revised quarterly during the year as required by the State Finance Law. The quarterly revisions update the Financial Plan to reflect variations in actual spending and receipts from the amounts initially estimated in Enacted Budget Financial Plan. DOB issued the first quarterly update to the Financial Plan (the "First Quarterly Update") on November 1, 2004 and the second quarterly update to the Financial Plan (the "Second Quarterly Update") on January 18, 2005.</R>

<R>Receipts. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan estimated total General fund receipts in support of the 2004-05 Financial Plan to be $42.7 billion. The Second Quarterly Update projects General Fund receipts at $43.5 billion. The State has revised the revenue estimate upward from the Enacted Budget Financial Plan and the First Quarterly Update based on actual revenue collections and the strength of key economic indicators, both of which have exceeded expectations.</R>

<R>Personal income tax receipts were estimated in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan to reach $18.4 billion, an increase by $2.7 billion (17.2 percent) from 2003-04, due to continued economic improvement in 2004, enactment of a three-year temporary tax increase from 2003 to 2005, and a robust settlement for 2003 tax returns, offset by a larger deposit into the Personal Income Tax Refund Reserve Account and a higher deposit into the Revenue Bond Tax Fund (RBTF). The Second Quarterly Update increases estimated personal income tax receipts to $18.9 billion. </R>

<R>User taxes and fees include receipts from the State sales tax, cigarette and tobacco products taxes, alcoholic beverage taxes and fees, motor fuel taxes, and motor vehicle license and registration fees. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan projected General Fund user taxes and fees net receipts for 2004-05 to total $8.7 billion, an increase of $700 million (8.8 percent) from reported 2003-04 collections. The Second Quarterly Update increases estimated user taxes and fees receipts to $8.8 billion.</R>

<R>Business taxes include the corporate franchise tax, corporation and utilities taxes, the insurance franchise tax, and the bank franchise tax. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan projected General Fund business tax receipts in 2003-04 to total $3.7 billion, an increase of $301 million (8.8 percent) from 2003-04 collections. The Second Quarterly Update increases estimated business tax receipts to $3.8 billion.</R>

<R>General Fund other taxes, include estate, pari-mutuel, gift, real property gains, and racing admissions/boxing and wrestling exhibition taxes. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan projected General Fund other tax receipts to total $764 million, a decrease of $4 million below 2002-03. The Second Quarterly Update revises projected other tax receipts downwards to $730 billion.</R>

<R>General Fund miscellaneous receipts for 2004-05 are estimated to reach $2.4 billion, a decrease of $3.5 billion from 2003-04. After adjusting for the receipt of one-time tobacco securitization moneys ($4.2 billion) in 2003-04, the annual increase is projected at $721 million. This increase is primarily due to the acceleration of $225 million in housing State of New York Mortgage Agency balances from 2005-06 into 2004-05, and the receipt of $182 million from the Tobacco Settlement Fund.</R>

<R>Total receipts in 2004-05 are projected to be $42.7 billion in the General Fund, $63.2 billion in State Funds, and $100.1 billion in All Governmental Funds, an annual increase of $328 million (.8 percent), $1.0 billion (1.6 percent) and $1.1 billion (1.1 percent) respectively.</R>

<R>Receipts on an All Funds basis, which is the broadest measure of State budgetary activity, are expected to reach $100.1 billion in 2004-05, an increase of $1.1 billion (1.1 percent) from 2003-04. </R>

<R>Disbursements. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan estimated General Fund disbursements of $43.0 billion in 2004-05, an increase of $974 million (2.3 percent) from 2003-04.</R>

<R>The First Quarterly Update revised estimated General Fund spending upward to $43.2 billion, an increase of $215 million from the Enacted Budget Financial Plan, primarily attributable to higher costs for Medicaid and the Department of Correctional Services.</R>

<R>The Second Quarterly Update estimates General Fund spending will total $43.4 billion in 2004-05. A delay in the expected receipt of $200 million from the conversion of Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield to a for-profit corporation that was budgeted to reduce General Fund Medicaid spending and cost overruns in correctional services account for most of the increase. Financial Management Plan savings and lower than expected claims from counties under the General Public Health Works program partially offset these costs.</R>

<R>Reserves/General Fund Closing Balance. The Second Quarterly Update projects the State will end the 2004-05 fiscal year with a balance of $1.2 billion in the General Fund. The balance consists of $864 million in the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund, $301 million in the Community Projects Fund, and $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund. The closing balance excludes $693 million projected to be on deposit in the tax refund reserve account at the end of 2004-05. The tax refund reserve account is used to reserve money for the payment of tax refunds that are owed as part of the 2004 tax year, but are not processed until early in the subsequent fiscal year, as well as to accomplish other Financial Plan objectives. The projected balance includes amounts for the payment of tax refunds and $170 million from the 2004-05 estimated surplus, which the Governor recommends using to help balance the 2005-06 Financial Plan.</R>

<R>2005-2006 Financial Plan</R>

<R>On January 18, 2005, the Governor presented his 2004-05 Executive Budget to the Legislature which contained financial projections, a proposed Capital Program and Financing Plan for the State's 2004-05 fiscal year.</R>

<R>Receipts. The State projects General Fund receipts of $45.1 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $1.6 billion (3.6 percent) from the current year. The increase in projected General Fund receipts is the result of increased collections from the personal income tax and sales tax, resulting from temporary tax actions taken in the 2003-04 Enacted Budget as well as continued growth resulting from the improving economic climate.</R>

<R>Personal income tax General Fund receipts for 2005-06 (excluding the Refund Reserve transaction) are projected to reach $19.7 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion from 2004-05 offset by increased School Tax Reduction (STAR) deposits of $130 million. The 2005-06 estimate reflects the accelerated phase-out of the temporary tax surcharge and other tax actions.</R>

<R>General Fund user taxes and fees receipts for 2005-06 are projected to reach $8.6 billion, a decrease of $130 million (1.5 percent) from 2004-05. The sales and use tax is projected to decrease by $146 million (1.8 percent) from 2004-05 due to the loss of the temporary one-quarter percent sales tax surcharge which is partially offset by growth in the sales tax base. Other user taxes and fees are projected to increase by $16 million (2.4 percent) from 2004-05, due mainly to the proposed increase in alcoholic beverage taxes partially offset by the increased dedication of motor vehicle fees to transportation funds.</R>

<R>General Fund business tax receipts in 2005-06 are projected to be $4.1 billion or $302 million (8.0 percent) over 2004-05. This projected increase reflects the continued strength of corporate and bank profitability.</R>

<R>The estimate for General Fund other taxes in 2005-06 is $778 million, which is $48 million (6.6 percent) above 2004-05. This estimate reflects an increase in estimated receipts from the estate tax, offset by minor losses in the other sources of revenue in this category.</R>

<R>General Fund miscellaneous receipts are projected to total $2.5 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $158 million (6.9 percent) from the current fiscal year, due to increases in various fines and penalties, property sales, local government reimbursements, a proposal to increase the Part D Medicare subsidy, increased payments from the New York Power Authority, and the expected modest increase in abandoned property receipts. These are offset by losses of tobacco bond proceeds, the loss of the deposit of the wireless surcharge in the General Fund and the loss of the Local Government Assistance Corporation sales tax deposit.</R>

<R>Transfers to the General Fund from personal income tax receipts deposited to the Revenue Bond Tax Fund in excess of debt service payable on State Personal Income Tax Bonds is projected to total $6.1 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $287 million from 2004-05. The annual increase is attributable to overall growth in personal income tax ($436 million), partially offset by an increase in debt service costs on those bonds ($149 million). Transfers to the General Fund of sales tax receipts deposited to the Local Government Assistance Tax Fund in excess of debt service due on Local Government Assistance Corporation bonds is projected to total $2.3 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $129 million from the prior year. This growth is due to overall growth in sales tax receipts ($150 million), partially offset by a modest increase in debt service costs ($21 million).</R>

<R>Transfers to the General Fund from the real estate transfer tax deposited to the Clean Water/Clean Air (CW/CA) Debt Service Fund in excess of debt service due on those general obligation bonds is projected to total $510 million in 2005-06. The modest change is due to overall growth in real estate transfer taxes ($5 million), more than offset by an increase in debt service costs ($15 million).</R>

<R>All other transfers are projected to total $387 million in 2005-06, an annual decrease of $117 million primarily due to nonrecurring transfers from SUNY and CUNY to reimburse the General Fund for equipment costs ($163 million).</R>

<R>All Funds receipts are projected to total $105.5 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $4.4 billion (4.3 percent) over 2004-05 projections. The total comprises tax receipts ($50.7 billion), Federal grants ($36.6 billion) and miscellaneous receipts ($18.3 billion). </R>

<R>Disbursements. The State projects adjusted General Fund disbursements, including transfers to other funds, of $45.1 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $1.2 billion (2.6 percent) from 2004-2005. Increases in Grants to Local Governments ($454 million), State Operations ($448 million), general state charges ($224 million), and transfers ($34 million) account for the change.</R>

<R>Local assistance spending is projected at $30.6 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $454 million from the current year. Growth in school aid ($321 million), CUNY operating costs (mainly for salary growth and increases in fixed costs) and CUNY/SUNY community college enrollment growth ($163 million), and welfare (due mainly to caseload increases) ($89 million) are partially offset by savings from Medicaid cost containment, TAP reforms, a patient income revenue reclassification described below, and other actions.</R>

<R>State Operations spending is projected to total $8.1 billion in 2005-06 an increase of $448 million (5.9 percent) from the prior year. The projected increase in State Operations is affected by the use of $400 million in patient income revenues in 2005-06 to offset local assistance spending, instead of offsetting State Operations spending as was done in 2004-05. The change results in a $400 million annual increase in State operations costs financed by the General Fund and a comparable decrease in local assistance spending. Adjusting for this reclassification, State Operations is projected to increase by $48 million from 2004-05. The growth, before any budget actions, is comprised of scheduled wage increases under current labor contracts, normal salary creep, and salary grade changes ($338 million), costs associated with the gaming and racing program ($108 million) and other program growth ($84 million). This underlying growth is offset by savings in agency operations ($161 million), the use of alternate sources of revenue to fund operations, and the removal of an institutional payroll.</R>

<R>DOB projects the Executive branch workforce will total 191,424 in 2005-06, an increase of 491 over the current-year estimate. </R>

<R>Spending for General State Charges is projected to be $3.9 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $224 million (6.1 percent) over the prior year. This annual increase is due mostly to rising costs of employee health benefits (an increase of $189 million to $2.2 billion), higher costs related to employer pension contributions (an increase of $133 million to $935 million) and fringe benefit increases for unsettled collective bargaining agreements ($31 million). These increases are partially offset by higher fringe benefit cost reimbursements to the General Fund which are payable from other funds, thus reducing General Fund costs ($129 million).</R>

<R>Transfers to Other Funds are projected to total $2.5 billion in 2005-06 and include General Fund transfers to support debt service ($1.7 billion), capital projects ($219 million), and other funds ($627 million).</R>

<R>General Fund transfers for debt service decline by $66 million (3.8 percent) from 2004-05 primarily due to $150 million in projected savings from debt management actions, offset by higher debt service on existing bonds for corrections and CUNY, and the accounting treatment of the Personal Income Tax Revenue Bond program which reduces General Fund costs and increases costs State Funds.</R>

<R>Transfers to support capital projects increase by $21 million mainly from a recast of the timing of capital spending based on experience to date.</R>

<R>All other transfers are projected to increase by $79 million (14.4 percent) in 2005-06 due primarily to a nonrecurring transfer to the Health Care Reform Act Special Revenue Fund to pay a prior year loan from the Physicians Excess Medical Malpractice Program ($45 million), and an increase in the State subsidy payments to State University of New York hospitals ($27 million).</R>

<R>Authorities and Localities</R>

<R>Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA"). The official financial disclosure of the MTA and its subsidiaries is available by contacting the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Finance Department, 347 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10017 or by visiting the MTA website at www.mta.info.</R>

<R>New York City. The fiscal demands on the State may be affected by the fiscal condition of the City, which relies in part on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. It is also possible that the State's finances may be affected by the ability of the City, and certain entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, to market securities successfully in the public credit markets. The official financial disclosure of the City of New York and financing entities issuing debt on its behalf is available by contacting Raymond J. Orlando, Director of Investor Relations, (212) 788-5875 or contacting the Office of Management and Budget, 75 Park Place, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10007.</R>

<R>Fiscal Oversight for New York City. In response to the City's fiscal crisis in 1975, the State took action to help the City return to fiscal stability. These actions included the establishment of the Municipal Assistance Corporation for the City of New York (NYC MAC), to provide the City with financing assistance; the New York State Financial Control Board (FCB), to oversee the City's financial affairs; and the Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City of New York (OSDC), to assist the Control Board in exercising its powers and responsibilities. A "control period" existed from 1975 to 1986, during which the City was subject to certain statutorily prescribed fiscal controls. The FCB terminated the control period in 1986 when certain statutory conditions were met. State law requires the FCB to reimpose a control period upon the occurrence or "substantial likelihood and imminence" of the occurrence, of certain events, including (but not limited to) a City operating budget deficit of more than $100 million or impaired access to the public credit markets.</R>

<R>The staffs of the FCB, OSDC, the City Comptroller and the Independent Budget Office, issue periodic reports on the City's financial plans. Copies of the most recent reports are available by contacting: FCB, 123 William Street, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Executive Director; OSDC, 59 Maiden Lane, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Deputy Comptroller; City Comptroller, Municipal Building, 6th Floor, One Centre Street, New York, NY 10007-2341, Attention: Deputy Comptroller for Budget; and IBO, 110 William Street, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Director.</R>

<R>Other Localities. Certain localities outside New York City have experienced financial problems and have requested and received additional State assistance during the last several State fiscal years. The potential impact on the State of any future requests by localities for additional oversight or financial assistance is not included in the projections of the State's receipts and disbursements for the State's 2004-05 fiscal year or thereafter.</R>

<R>Litigation</R>

<R>New York is currently involved in certain litigation where adverse decisions could have a material impact on State finances. Included in this litigation are the following: </R>

<R>In Campaign for Fiscal Equity, Inc., et al. v. State, et al., plaintiffs claimed that the State's method of determining funding levels for New York City public schools has a disparate impact on plaintiffs in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and does not provide a "sound basic education" as required by the State Constitution. By a decision dated June 26, 2003, the New York State Court of Appeals held that the evidence supported the trial court's conclusion that New York City schoolchildren were not receiving the constitutionally mandated opportunity for a sound basic education, and remitted the case to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with its decision. In August 2004, the Supreme Court, New York County, referred this case to a panel of three referees to make recommendations as to how the State should satisfy the Court of Appeals holding. On November 30, 2004, the panel recommended that that the State pay New York City Schools a total of $14.1 billion over the next four years in additional operations funding and $9.2 billion over the next five years for capital improvements.</R>

<R>In Oneida Indian Nation of New York et al. v. County of Oneida, plaintiff claimed that a 250,000 acre area in Madison and Oneida counties was illegally sold to the State in 1795. On December 7, 2004, settlement agreements were signed between the State, the Oneidas of Wisconsin and the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe, which would in part require the passage of State and Federal legislation to become effective. Such legislation must be enacted by September 1, 2005 unless the parties agree to an extension of time. The agreements contemplate the extinguishment of all Oneida and other Indian claims in the tract at issue in this litigation. Although the agreements provide for monetary payment, transfers of lands and other consideration to non-signatory tribal plaintiffs, these agreements have not been signed by the United States, the Oneidas of New York, the Oneida of the Thames Band or the New York Brothertown.</R>

<R>In Canadian St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians, et al., v. State of New York, et al., plaintiffs seek ejectment and monetary damages with respect to their claim that approximately 15,000 acres in Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties were illegally transferred from their predecessors-in-interest. On November 29, 2004, the plaintiff tribal entities, with one exception, approved a settlement proposed by the State, which would require enactment of State and Federal legislation to become effective.</R>

<R>In Cayuga Indian Nation of New York v. Cuomo et al. the federal District Court, in February 2000, granted plaintiffs $211 million in prejudgment interest on 64,000 acres held to be illegally sold to the State in 1795. The State appealed from the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In November 2004, settlements were signed on by the State with the Chief of the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma and Cayuga Indian Nation of New York which would, in part, require enactment of State and Federal legislation to become effective. Such legislation must be enacted by September 1, 2005 unless the parties agree to an extension of time. These agreements provide for differential payments to be made to the plaintiff tribes, based upon the outcome of the appeal now pending in the Second Circuit.</R>

<R>In Freedom Holdings Inc. et al. v. Spitzer et ano., two cigarette importers brought an action in 2002 challenging portions of laws enacted by the State under the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement ("MSA") that New York and many other states entered into with the major tobacco manufacturers. The initial complaint alleged: (1) violations of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution; (2) the establishment of an "output cartel" in conflict with the Sherman Act; and (3) selective nonenforcement of the laws on Native American reservations in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action. Plaintiffs appealed from this dismissal. In an opinion decided January 6, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1) affirmed the dismissal of the Commerce Clause claim; (2) reversed the dismissal of the Sherman Act claim; and (3) remanded the selective enforcement claim to the District Court for further proceedings. Plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint that also challenges the MSA itself (as well as other related State statutes) primarily on preemption grounds, and plaintiffs currently are seeking preliminary injunctive relief.</R>

<R>In Consumers Union of U.S., Inc. v. State, plaintiffs challenge the constitutionality of statutes relating to the authorization of the conversion of Empire Health Choice, d/b/a Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield from a not-for-profit corporation to a for-profit corporation. The law requires, in part, that upon such conversion, assets representing 95 percent of the fair market value of the not-for-profit corporation be transferred to a fund designated as the "public asset fund" to be used for the purpose set forth in the Insurance Law. The State and private defendants have separately moved to dismiss the complaint. On November 6, 2002, the Supreme Court, New York County, granted a temporary restraining order, directing that the proceeds from the initial public offering of the for-profit corporation be deposited with the State Comptroller in an interest-bearing account, pending the hearing of a motion for a preliminary injunction, which was returnable simultaneously with the motions to dismiss, on November 26, 2002. By decision and order dated May 20, 2004, the Appellate Division, First Department affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff's original complaint but also affirmed the denial of defendants' motion to dismiss the amended claim. The State, the other defendants and the plaintiffs have been granted leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals.</R>

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO

<R>The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies, and instrumentalities, as available on the date of this SAI. 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.</R>

<R>The Economy of Puerto Rico</R>

<R>The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United States (the "U.S."). In fiscal year 2003 (July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003), trade with the U.S. accounted for approximately 86% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 49% of its imports. In this regard, in fiscal year 2003 Puerto Rico experienced a $21.4 billion positive merchandise trade balance. </R>

<R>Gross product in fiscal year 1999 was $38.3 billion ($40.2 billion in 2000 prices) and gross product in fiscal year 2003 was $47.4 billion ($42.7 billion in 2000 prices). This represents an increase in gross product of 23.7% from fiscal year 1999 to 2003 (6.1% in 2000 prices). </R>

<R>Since fiscal year 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal year 2003, aggregate personal income was $43.6 billion ($41.7 billion in 2000 prices) and personal per capita income was $11,279 ($10,784 in 2000 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 of the United States. Transfer payments to individuals in fiscal year 2003 were $9.6 billion, of which $7.4 billion, or 77%, represented entitlements to individuals who had previously performed services or made contributions under programs such as Social Security, Veterans' Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions. </R>

<R>Puerto Rico has enjoyed more than two decades of almost continuous economic expansion. Almost every sector of the economy has participated in this expansion, and record levels of employment have been achieved. Factors contributing to this expansion included government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, a significant expansion in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects and private investment, primarily in housing, the relatively low cost of borrowing, and low oil prices in many years during this period. </R>

<R>Factors affecting the United States economy usually have a significant impact on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy. These include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the level of oil prices, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures. Consequently, the economic slowdown in the United States in 2001 and 2002 and the subsequent recovery in 2003, which continued in 2004, have also been reflected in the Puerto Rico economy. </R>

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal year 2004 averaged 1,234,200, a 1.9% increase from 1,210,800 in fiscal year 2003. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical levels, remains above the United States average. The average unemployment rate decreased from 12.5% in fiscal year 1999 to 11.4% in fiscal year 2004. For the months of May, June, and July 2004, the unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) was 9.8%, 9.3%, and 9.7%, respectively. </R>

<R>Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy are manufacturing and services. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher wages, high technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, computer, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high technology machinery and equipment. The services sector, including finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism, also plays a major role in the economy. It ranks second only to manufacturing in contribution to the gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment. </R>

<R></R>

<R>Manufacturing. The Planning Board estimates that in fiscal year 2003, manufacturing generated $31.3 billion or 42.1% of gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2003, payroll employment for the manufacturing sector was 116,853, a decrease of 4.2% compared with fiscal year 2002, with most of the job losses occurring in labor-intensive industries. Most of the island's manufacturing output is shipped to the U.S. mainland, which is also the principal source of semi-finished manufactured articles on which further manufacturing operations are performed in Puerto Rico. The U.S. minimum wage laws are applicable in Puerto Rico. As of July 2004, the average hourly manufacturing wage rate in Puerto Rico was 66.9% of the average mainland United States rate. </R>

<R>Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during the earlier phases of its industrial development and includes several industries less prone to business cycles. In the last three decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift in emphasis is best exemplified by the large investment over the last decade in the pharmaceutical, scientific instruments, computer, and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico. One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing sector has been the tax incentives offered by the federal and Puerto Rico governments. Federal legislation enacted in 1996, however, which amended Section 936 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") phases out the federal tax incentives during a ten-year period. </R>

<R>Total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 27,047 from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2004. This 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 investment and productivity. Most of the decrease in employment has been concentrated in labor-intensive industries, particularly apparel, textiles, tuna canning, and leather products. </R>

<R>Services. 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 economies. The services sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, tourism, and other services, ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment. In fiscal year 2003, services generated $28.7 billion of gross domestic product or 38.7% of the total. Employment in the services sector grew from 485,241 in fiscal year 1999 to 506,941 in fiscal year 2003, representing 51.1% of total employment. This represents a cumulative increase of 4.5%. During the period between fiscal years 1999 and 2003, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 6.4%, while payroll employment in this sector increased at an average annual rate of 1.1%. It should also be noted that, in the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 17% of total employment according to the Household Survey. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the services and construction sectors. For example, in fiscal year 2003, the number of self-employed individuals was 180,464, out of which 46.0% were in the services sector and 10.5% were in the construction sector. The development of the services sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base. </R>

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

<R></R>

<R>Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate experienced significant growth in fiscal years 1999 to 2003, as measured by gross domestic product. Gross domestic product in wholesale and retail trade increased from $8.1 billion in fiscal year 1999 to $8.6 billion in fiscal year 2003. In finance, insurance, and real estate, gross domestic product increased from $8.2 billion in fiscal year 1999 to $12.7 billion in fiscal year 2003. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico. Total assets of these institutions as of June 30, 2004 were $85.4 billion. As of December 31, 2003, there were thirty-five international banking entities operating in Puerto Rico licensed to conduct offshore banking transactions, with total assets of $56.5 billion. </R>

<R>Government. The government sector of Puerto Rico plays an important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 2003, the government accounted for $7.1 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 9.6% of the total. The government is also a significant employer, providing jobs for 303,914 workers or 30.3% of total non-farm payroll employment in fiscal year 2004. The government's share of non-farm payroll employment (including the central government, public corporations, and municipalities, but excluding the federal government), measured according to the payroll survey, had decreased from 34.9% in fiscal year 1980 to 26.4% in fiscal year 2000. </R>

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

<R>Construction. Although the construction industry represents a relatively small segment of the economy compared to other sectors, it has made significant contributions to the growth of the economic activity. However, during the period from fiscal year 1999 through fiscal year 2003, real construction investment decreased 3.1%. This decline is relatively small when compared to the relatively high levels of construction activity. </R>

<R>The total value of construction permits increased 70.3% for the same five-year period. Public investment has been an important component of construction investment. During fiscal year 2003, approximately 42% of the total investment in construction was related to public projects. During fiscal year 2003, the total value of construction permits increased 22.0% compared with fiscal year 2002. Total sales of cement, including imports, increased 3.2% during fiscal year 2003 in comparison with fiscal year 2002. Average payroll employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2003 was 68,700, a decrease of 0.7% from fiscal year 2002. </R>

<R></R>

<R>During fiscal year 2004, total sales of cement, including imports, decreased 1.9% compared with fiscal year 2003. This decrease in total sales of cement was attributable in part to heavy rains that affected the island in November 2003, causing a 31% decrease in total sales of cement as compared to November 2002. Excluding November 2003, total sales of cement for fiscal year 2004 increased 0.9%. Total imports of iron and steel products increased 36.2% during fiscal year 2003. During fiscal year 2004, the total value of construction permits increased 8.2% compared with fiscal year 2003. The average employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2004 was 68,355. </R>

<R>The Planning Board's forecast for construction investment, both public and private, for fiscal year 2004 was $6.7 billion, in nominal terms, an increase (in real terms) of 4.6% when compared to fiscal year 2003. For fiscal year 2004, approximately $3.1 billion was expected to be invested in public improvements. Public investment will be primarily in housing, new schools (and school reconstruction programs), water projects, and other public infrastructure projects. </R>

<R></R>

<R>Tourism. Tourism also contributes significantly to the island economy. During fiscal year 2003, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,733,300, an increase of 8.6% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2002, when tourism in Puerto Rico was adversely affected in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2003 was 68.0% compared to 64.4% in fiscal year 2002. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 9.1% during fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased 3.5% during fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002, representing openings of new hotels and hotel expansions. During fiscal year 2003, hotels comprising 870 new hotel rooms opened, and, as of January 2004, several hotels, representing more than 4,000 additional rooms, are under various stages of development or construction. </R>

<R>In fiscal year 2004, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,791,432, an increase of 3.4% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2003. The number of non-resident tourists registered in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2004 increased 6.0% in comparison with fiscal year 2003. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2004 was 72.4% compared to 68.0% in fiscal year 2003. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 4.9% during fiscal year 2004 compared with fiscal year 2003. </R>

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

<R>Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and the quality of produce, and stimulating the consumption of locally produced agricultural products. During fiscal year 2003, gross income from agriculture was $756.2 million, an increase of 1.7% compared with fiscal year 2002. Agriculture gross income consists of the total value of production in the principal agricultural sectors, which include traditional crops, livestock and poultry, grains, vegetables, fruits, and other products. During fiscal year 2003, non-traditional crops, fruits, starchy and other vegetables, and ornamental plants contributed a higher percentage of the sector's income. </R>

<R>The Commonwealth supports agricultural activities through incentives, subsidies, and technical and support services, in addition to income tax exemptions for qualified income derived by bona fide farmers. Act No. 225, approved on 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 businesses. Subsequent legislation imposed an aggregate annual limit of $15 million on the investment tax credits available under Act. No. 225. </R>

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

<R>Economic Development Program for the Private Sector </R>

<R>During the past three years, the Commonwealth's economic development program for the private sector has focused on initiatives which it believes will lead to sustainable economic development. The principal initiatives have been: (i) the enactment of laws in Puerto Rico providing tax benefits that will promote foreign and local investment and increased economic activity; (ii) the acceleration and simplification of the local permitting process; (iii) the reduction of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico; and (iv) the promotion of new federal income tax benefits that enhance the attractiveness of establishing operations in Puerto Rico. Recognizing a shift in its post-industrial economy, the Commonwealth recently formulated a strategic plan to enhance its competitiveness in knowledge-based economic sectors, such as research and development of science and technology products. Two major components of this strategic plan are: (i) to build on the strong presence in Puerto Rico of multinational companies in the science and technology sectors and Puerto Rico's skilled workforce to promote the expansion of research and development facilities by companies currently operating in Puerto Rico and to attract new leaders in such sectors, and (ii) to provide incentives for companies and entrepreneurs to engage in the process of innovation and commercialization of new products and establish research and development facilities in Puerto Rico. The latter initiative includes the creation of a government-sponsored trust to provide grants and financing to companies and entrepreneurs that engage in these activities. </R>

<R>Puerto Rico Tax Incentives </R>

<R>One of the benefits enjoyed by Puerto Rico is that corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the United States) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to federal income taxes. This enables the Commonwealth to utilize local tax legislation as a tool for stimulating economic development in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>In this regard, the Commonwealth has enacted legislation extending certain benefits of its most recent tax incentive law, Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997, as amended (the "1998 Tax Incentives Act"), to all eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws. These benefits include a 200% deduction for research and development expenses and worker training expenses, the ability to deduct as a current expense investments in machinery and equipment, and the ability to claim a tax credit equal to 25% of the purchase price of a product manufactured in Puerto Rico (in excess of a base amount) or 35% of the purchase price of a locally manufactured recycled product. </R>

<R>The 1998 Tax Incentives Act was also amended to allow a credit against the Puerto Rico tax liability of investors that acquire the majority of the stock, partnership interests, or operational assets of an exempted business that is in the process of closing operations in Puerto Rico. A credit against the Puerto Rico tax liability is also provided to investors that contribute cash to such exempted business for the construction or improvement of its physical facilities and the purchase of machinery and equipment. The amount of the credit is equal to 50% of the cash invested for such purposes, not to exceed $5,000,000 per exempted business. The maximum amounts of such credits that may be authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury for any fiscal year is $15,000,000. </R>

<R>The Commonwealth has also enacted legislation which (i) reduces the capital gains tax from 20% to 10% in the case of individuals and estates and trusts, and from 25% to 12.5% in the case of corporations and partnerships organized under the laws of the Commonwealth or engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico, for gains from the sale of eligible Puerto Rico investments; and (ii) allows income tax credits for extraordinary investment in housing infrastructure. In addition, legislation was recently enacted that reduces the tax payable on interest on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and partnerships to 10% under certain circumstances.</R>

<R>In addition, legislation has been enacted: (i) amending the 1998 Tax Incentives Act to provide special income tax rates ranging from 0% to 2% to companies that establish operations in Puerto Rico in "core pioneer industries," which utilize innovative technology not previously used in Puerto Rico; (ii) granting tax credits with respect to eligible investments made in the construction or substantial rehabilitation of housing units to be rented to low income families; (iii) reducing to 7% the capital gains rate applicable to gains realized on the sale of the stock of Puerto Rico corporations sold in an initial public offering made prior to December 31, 2007, or acquired in public offerings made prior to December 31, 2007; (iv) granting income tax exemption to the fees and interest income received by financial institutions in connection with loans or guarantees of loans made to finance tourism development projects; (v) granting an exemption to qualified associations administering timesharing rights or vacation clubs and to owners' associations of areas designated as tourism enhancement districts; (vi) granting income tax exemption to financial institutions for charges collected on obligations issued for the financing of tourism projects; (vii) granting tax exemption for investments in infrastructure made by housing developers; (viii) granting tax credits to Puerto Rico businesses that acquire products manufactured in Puerto Rico for exportation; and (ix) rehabilitating urban centers through the development of housing projects, community areas, commercial areas, parks, and recreational spaces, the construction and renovation of structures, and the development of undeveloped or underdeveloped sites.</R>

<R>Acceleration and Simplification of Local Permitting Process </R>

<R>Another government initiative to promote sustainable economic activity involves the simplification of the permitting process. As part of this initiative, the Commonwealth established a multi-agency center that handles, in a coordinated manner, the permitting process. Furthermore, the government developed a procedure that will allow agencies to conduct simultaneous public hearings in those instances when two or more agencies require them. </R>

<R></R>

<R>Reduction of the Costs of Doing Business</R>

<R>The Commonwealth believes that, to make Puerto Rico more competitive and foster investment, it needs to reduce the cost of doing business in Puerto Rico. One of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico that is high, particularly for the manufacturing industry, relative to competing jurisdictions, is the cost of electricity. Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports for the production of electricity. As a result of the construction of two cogeneration plants, however, one of which is fueled by liquefied natural gas and the other by coal, Puerto Rico's dependence on oil imports for the production of electricity has been reduced from 99% to 74%. The Electric Power Authority now estimates that these plants could provide up to 33% of its electric energy requirements. </R>

<R>Federal Tax Incentives</R>

<R>In order to enhance the attractiveness for United States companies of establishing operations in Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth has been seeking to provide for a new and permanent tax regime applicable to U.S.-based businesses that have operations in Puerto Rico or other U.S. possessions. During the past three years, the Commonwealth has been pursuing an amendment to Section 956 of the Code that would establish a regime based on the tax rules generally applied to U.S. companies with international operations, but with certain modifications intended to promote employment in both Puerto Rico and the United States. The U.S. Congress, however, has not acted upon the proposed amendment to Section 956 of the Code. Also, due to the phase-out of Sections 30A and 936 of the Code, the U.S. Senate designated a special commission through the General Accounting Office to study the economic impact of said phase-out and to present recommendations on alternative tax incentives for U.S.-based companies operating in Puerto Rico. In the meantime, most U.S.-based companies operating under Sections 30A and 936 of the Code have converted from United States corporations to Puerto Rico or foreign corporations, thus lessening the impact of the phase-out of those sections. </R>

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

<R>Industrial Incentives Program </R>

<R>Since 1948, Puerto Rico has had various industrial incentives laws designed to stimulate industrial investment in the island. 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 the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, a law aimed at promoting investment in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are available to new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing tax exemption grant. The 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 Act 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 three semesters of operations and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from excise taxes with respect to raw materials and certain machinery and equipment used in the exempt activities. The 1998 Tax Incentives Act also provides various special deductions designed to stimulate employment and productivity, research and development, and capital investment in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, companies can repatriate or distribute their profits free of Puerto Rico dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico financial institutions, obligations of the Commonwealth, and other designated investments are fully exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual shareholders of an exempted business are allowed a credit against their Puerto Rico income taxes equal to 30% of their proportionate share of the exempted business's income tax liability. Gain from the sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders during the exemption period is subject to a 4% income tax rate.</R>

<R>Tourism Incentives Program</R>

<R>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 partial exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to 10 years. The Tourism Incentives Act also provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in tourism activities, including hotel and condo-hotel development projects. Recently enacted legislation provides further tourism incentives by granting certain tax exemptions on interest income received by financial institutions from permanent or interim financing of tourism development projects and fees derived from credit enhancements provided to the financing of such projects. </R>

<R>As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the Commonwealth established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico ("GDB") with the authority to (i) make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry and (ii) provide financial guarantees for financing hotel development projects. To date, the Fund has provided financial guarantees for loans made or bonds issued to finance the development of fifteen hotel projects representing over 3,600 new hotel rooms. </R>

<R>Incentives under the Code </R>

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

<R>The Tax Reform 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. </R>

<R>As a result of amendments to Section 936 made in 1996 (the "1996 Amendments"), the tax credit is being phased out over a ten-year period for companies that were operating in Puerto Rico in 1995 and is no longer available for corporations that establish operations in Puerto Rico after October 13, 1995. The 1996 Amendments also eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>Section 30A. The 1996 Amendments added Section 30A to the Code. Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that meets certain gross income tests 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"). The Section 30A Credit will not be available for taxable years commencing after 2005. </R>

<R></R>

<R>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). </R>

<R>In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the amount of possession income that qualifies for the Section 30A Credit is 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"). </R>

<R>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. </R>

<R>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: (i) 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; (ii) 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 (iii) a costplus formula, whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>The Section 936 credit is now only available to companies that were operating in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, and had elected the percentage of income credit provided by Section 936. Such percentage of income credit is equal to 40% of the federal income tax otherwise imposable on the Puerto Rico active business income or derived from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in such business. </R>

<R>In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the possession income subject to the Section 936 credit is 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 commencing after 2005. </R>

<R>Controlled Foreign Corporations </R>

<R>Because of the credit limitations and impending phase out of Sections 30A and 936, many corporations previously operating thereunder have reorganized their operations in Puerto Rico to become controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"). A CFC is a corporation that is organized outside the United States and is controlled by United States shareholders. In general, a CFC may defer the payment of federal income taxes on its trade or business income until such income is repatriated to the United States in the form of dividends or through investments in certain United States properties. The Puerto Rico Office of Industrial Tax Exemption has received notification from over eighty corporations that have converted part or all of their operations to CFCs. These include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronics companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those applicable to corporations operating under Sections 936 and 30A. In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a larger share of this income to their Puerto Rico operation but must make a royalty payment "commensurate with income" to their U.S. affiliates. Section 936 Corporations were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost-sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 10% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments. </R>

<R></R>

<R>Public Sector Debt </R>

<R></R>

<R></R>

<R>Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations ("notes" as used in this section refers to certain types of non-bonded debt regardless of maturity), subject to the exclusions described below. The Constitution of Puerto Rico limits the amount of general obligation (full faith and credit) debt that can be issued or guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth's policy has been and continues to be to maintain the amount of such debt prudently below the constitutional limitation. 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. See Public Corporations. However, certain debt of public corporations is supported, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes. </R>

<R></R>

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

<R></R>

<R>As of June 30, 2004, total outstanding public sector debt was $33.942 billion, of which $2.175 billion, or 6.4%, comprised short-term debt.</R>

<R>Retirement Systems</R>

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

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

<R>The Teachers Retirement System covers primarily public school teachers, the Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the Commonwealth and its municipalities and instrumentalities. As of June 30, 2003, the total number of active members of the three systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 166,914; Teachers Retirement System, 49,046; and Judiciary Retirement System, 338. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees and investment income. The central government is responsible for approximately 67% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 33% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The central government is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary Retirement System and the Teachers Retirement System, respectively. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employees are determined by law. Required employers' contributions to the systems are determined by law and are not actuarially determined. For the Employees Retirement System, required employer contributions consist of 9.275% of applicable payroll in the case of municipalities, central government and public corporations. Required employee contributions for the Employees Retirement System vary according to salary and how the individual employee's retirement benefits are coordinated with social security benefits. For the Judiciary Retirement System, required contributions consist of 20% of applicable payroll for the employer and 8% for the employees. </R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System and the Judiciary Retirement System was $9.881 billion and $162.2 million, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period was $7.453 billion and $92.1 million, respectively, representing a funding ratio of 25% and 43%, respectively. This funding ratio does not take into account the reduction in the value of their respective equity portfolios resulting from the decline in the equities market since fiscal year 2001. It is estimated that as of June 30, 2003, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System is $11.292 billion and the unfunded pension benefit obligation is $9.349 billion, representing a funding ratio of 17%. </R>

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

<R>In 1990, the organic act of the Employees Retirement System was amended to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of 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. </R>

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

<R>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 (subsequently acquired by Verizon Communications Inc., "Verizon") provides that any future proceeds received by the government from the sale of its then-remaining 43% stock ownership in PRTC will be transferred to the Employees Retirement System to reduce its accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation. In January 2002, Verizon exercised its option to purchase an additional 15% of the stock of PRTC for $172 million. The proceeds of the sale were transferred to the Employees Retirement System. </R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2002, 2003, and 2004 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 was covered with a portion of the proceeds from the sale to Verizon of the 15% stock ownership in PRTC. </R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System anticipates that its future cash flow needs for disbursement of benefits to participants may exceed the sum of the employer and employee contributions received and its investment and other recurring income. The Employees Retirement System expects to cover this cash flow imbalance in the next few fiscal years with the proceeds from the sale of the remaining shares of PRTC stock. The Employees Retirement System is currently evaluating other measures to increase its revenues. </R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the accrued actuarial liability of the system was $3.684 billion and the value of assets amounted to $2.284 billion, representing a funding ratio of 62%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $1.400 billion. This funding ratio does not take into account the recent significant decline in the equities market and the resulting reduction in the value of the equity portfolio. As of June 30, 2003, the estimated annual actuarial liability was $3.921 billion, and the value of assets amounted to $2.142 billion, representing an estimated funding ratio of 55% and an estimated unfunded accrued liability of $1.779 billion. As of June 30, 2000, the remaining amortization period for the unfunded liability was 19 years. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8% per year and salary increases of 5% per year. Act No. 45 of January 27, 2000 increased the amount of the employee contribution from 7% to 9%, effective immediately. This will result in an increase of employee contributions of $1.5 million per month. </R>

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

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

<R>Resident individuals are subject to tax on their taxable income from all sources. The PR Code has five tax brackets for individuals with tax rates of 7%, 10%, 15%, 28%, and 33%. Dividend income from Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations is taxed at a rate of 10%. </R>

<R>Gain realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset by resident individuals, if held for more than six months, is taxed at a rate of 20%. It is taxed at a rate of 10% if the capital asset consists of certain property located or deemed located in Puerto Rico. Gains realized by Puerto Rico resident individuals, trusts and estates from the sale of stock of certain Puerto Rico corporations in an initial public offering made prior to January 1, 2008 are subject to a special capital gains rate of 7%. </R>

<R>On August 22, 2004, the Governor signed into law Act 226 to provide a temporary reduction in the long-term capital gains tax rate. Act 226 reduces the long-term capital gains tax rates by 50% for transactions that take place from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005, provided that the net long-term capital gain is reinvested in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>Interest income in excess of $2,000 on deposits with Puerto Rico financial institutions is taxed at a rate of 17%; the first $2,000 of interest income from such institutions is exempt from taxation. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts, and estates qualifies for a special 10% tax rate. </R>

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

<R>The PR Code provides for six income tax brackets for corporations and partnerships, with the highest rate (39%) applicable to net taxable income in excess of $300,000. Gains realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset, if held for more than six months, are taxed at a maximum rate of 25% or 12.5% if the capital asset consists of certain property located or deemed located in Puerto Rico sold or exchanged after December 31, 2000. Act 226 reduces the long-term capital gains tax rates by 50% for transactions that take place from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005. Dividends received by Puerto Rico corporations and partnerships of foreign corporations and partnerships engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico are subject to general income tax rates. A dividends received credit may be available. A special tax rate of 17% is applicable to dividend distributions of REITs received by corporations. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident corporations and partnerships qualifies for a special tax rate. </R>

<R>Certain corporations and partnerships covered by the tax incentives acts continue to be subject to a maximum tax rate of 45% on their taxable income. Corporations and partnerships covered by the Puerto Rico Tourism Incentives Act of 1993, as amended, are subject to a maximum tax rate of 42% on their taxable income. The PR Code also provides for an alternative minimum tax of 22%. Corporations and partnerships operating under a new grant of tax exemption issued under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are subject to a maximum income tax rate of 7% during their basic exemption period. </R>

<R>The PR Code imposes a branch profits tax on resident foreign corporations less than 80% of whose gross income qualifies as income effectively connected with a Puerto Rico trade or business. The branch profits tax is 10% of an annual dividend equivalent amount, and it applies without regard to the Puerto Rico source-of-income rules. </R>

<R>Interest from Puerto Rico sources paid to non-resident non-affiliated corporate recipients is not subject to any income or withholding tax. Interest paid to certain related non-resident recipients is subject to a withholding tax of 29%. Dividends paid to non-resident corporate recipients are subject to a withholding tax of 10%. Dividends distributed by corporations (including Section 936 Corporations) operating under new grants of tax exemption issued under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are not subject to Puerto Rico income tax. However, royalty payments made by such corporations to non-resident recipients are subject to a 10% withholding tax. The basic tax on dividends paid to foreign corporate shareholders of Section 936 Corporations operating under grants of tax exemption issued under prior incentives laws is 10% but is subject to reduction if a percentage of the profits are invested in certain eligible instruments for specified periods of time. </R>

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

<R>The Treasury Department is presently evaluating a plan to reform the Commonwealth's tax system. The objective of this reform would be to reduce the income tax rates for individuals while expanding the tax base by taxing persons not currently participating in the income tax system and simplifying the tax system in order to make its administration more effective. The tax reform is expected to be implemented beginning on January 1, 2006. The Treasury Department expects that the tax reform will produce additional General Fund revenues. </R>

<R>Excise Taxes. The PR Code imposes a tax on articles and commodities that are imported into or manufactured in Puerto Rico for consumption in Puerto Rico and a tax on certain transactions, such as hotel occupancy, public shows, and horse racing. The excise tax on certain articles and commodities, such as cigarettes, alcohol and petroleum products, is based upon the quantity of goods imported. The excise tax on motor vehicles is based on its suggested retail price. The PR Code imposes a tax at an effective rate of 6.6% of the F.O.B. factory price for imported goods and 3.6% of the sales price of goods manufactured in Puerto Rico, except sugar, cement, cigarettes, motor vehicles, and certain petroleum products, which are taxed at different rates. Goods to be used by the government, except for motor vehicles and construction equipment, are not exempt. Exemptions apply to certain articles, such as food and medicines, and to articles designated for certain users. </R>

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

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

<R>Revenues from non-Puerto Rico sources include customs duties collected in Puerto Rico and excise taxes on shipments of rum from the island to the United States mainland. The customs duties and excise taxes on shipments are imposed and collected by the United States and returned to the Commonwealth. The excise tax on shipments of rum from Puerto Rico and other rum-producing countries is $13.50 per proof gallon. Of this amount, $13.25 per proof gallon will be returned to the Treasury of Puerto Rico until December 31, 2005, and, commencing on January 1, 2006, the amount returned will be reduced to $10.50 per proof gallon. </R>

<R>Property Taxes. Personal property, which accounts for approximately 53% of total collections of taxable property, is self-assessed. Real property taxes are assessed based on 1958 property values. No real property reassessment has been made since 1958, and construction taking place after that year has been assessed on the basis of what the value of the property would have been in 1958. Accordingly, the overall assessed valuation of real property for taxation purposes is substantially lower than the actual market value. Also, an exemption on the first $15,000 of assessed valuation in owner-occupied residences is available.</R>

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

<R>Collections of Income and Excise Taxes</R>

<R>The Department of the Treasury has continued its program for improving tax collections, which began in fiscal year 1986. The program has consisted, in part, of taking the initiative in sponsoring and implementing tax reform, particularly in the areas of excise taxes and income taxes, in order to decrease the incidences of nonpayment of taxes and to expand the taxpayer base. The program has also included (i) improving the methods by which delinquent taxpayers are identified, primarily through the use of computer analyses, (ii) computerizing the processing of tax returns, and (iii) identifying and eliminating taxpayer evasion.</R>

<R>Budget of the Commonwealth</R>

<R>The fiscal year of the Commonwealth begins each July 1. The Governor is constitutionally required to submit to the 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 the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), in coordination with the Planning Board, the Department of the Treasury, and other government offices and agencies. Section 7 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that "[t]he appropriations made for any fiscal year shall not exceed the total revenues, including available surplus, estimated for said fiscal year unless the imposition of taxes sufficient to cover said appropriations is provided by law." </R>

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

<R>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 the Governor's 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 Commonwealth to continue making payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.</R>

<R>During any fiscal year in which the resources available to the Commonwealth are insufficient to cover the appropriations approved for such year, the Governor may take administrative measures to reduce expenses and submit to both houses of the 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. </R>

<R>A Budgetary Fund was created by Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980, as amended (the "Budgetary Fund"), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, to secure the payment of public debt, and to provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public service. Currently, an amount equal to one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year is deposited annually into the Fund. In addition, other income (not classified as revenues) that is not assigned by law to a specific purpose is also required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. The maximum balance of the Budgetary Fund may not exceed 6% of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year. As of July 1, 2004, the balance in the Budgetary Fund was $126 million (this amount includes the fiscal year 2005 appropriation and excludes amounts that will be transferred out of the Budgetary Fund to cover excess expenditures during fiscal year 2004). </R>

<R>An Emergency Fund was created by Act No. 91 of June 21, 1966, as amended (the "Emergency Fund"), to cover unexpected public needs caused by calamities, such as wars, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and plagues, and to protect people's lives and property and the public sector credit. The Emergency Fund is capitalized annually with an amount totaling no less than one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year. During the fiscal year 2004 budget process, Act No. 91 was amended to set an upper limit to the Emergency Fund of $150 million at the beginning of the fiscal year. As of July 1, 2004, the balance in the Emergency Fund was $154.8 million, including fiscal year 2005 appropriations. </R>

<R>Appropriations </R>

<R>In Puerto Rico, the central government has many functions that in the fifty states are the responsibility of local government, such as providing public education and police and fire protection. The central government provides significant annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority ("PRASA"), and to the municipalities. The grants to the University of Puerto Rico are included in current expenses for education and debt service on general obligation bonds is included in current expenses for debt service. Debt service on Sugar Corporation notes paid by the Commonwealth is included in current expenses for economic development, and debt service on Urban Renewal and Housing Corporation bonds and notes and on Housing Finance Authority mortgage subsidy bonds paid by the Commonwealth is included in current expenses for housing.</R>

<R>Approximately 27.9% of the General Fund is committed for payment of fixed charges such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, contributions to the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, funding for the judiciary branch, rental payments to the Public Buildings Authority, among others, and debt service on direct debt of the Commonwealth. In the case of the judiciary branch, legislation approved in December of 2002 provides that, commencing with fiscal year 2004, the Commonwealth will appropriate annually to the judiciary branch an amount initially equal to 3.3% of the average annual revenue from internal sources for each of the two preceding fiscal years. This percentage will increase until it reaches 4% in fiscal year 2008, and may be further increased upon review, with scheduled reviews every five years. </R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2004</R>

<R>The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2004 totaled $23.782 billion. Of this amount, $13.577 billion was assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $8.295 billion, which represents an increase of $452 million, or 5.8%, over budgeted amounts for fiscal year 2003. These total resources include $7.925 billion of total revenues and $370 million of other sources. </R>

<R>In the fiscal year 2004 budget, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds totaled $12.689 billion, excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The net increase in General Fund revenues in the fiscal year 2004 budget, as compared to fiscal year 2003, was accounted mainly by increases in corporate income taxes (up $49 million), personal income taxes (up $48 million), excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (up $44 million), income taxes withheld from non-residents (up $43 million), federal excise taxes on offshore shipments (up $20 million), excise taxes on alcoholic beverages (up $14 million), and excise taxes on cigarettes (up $10 million), and decreases in customs duties (down $6 million) and tollgate taxes (down $23 million). </R>

<R>Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds for fiscal year 2004 totaled $13.176 billion, an increase of $754.4 million from fiscal year 2003. The major changes in General Fund budgeted expenditures by program in fiscal year 2004 were increases in health (up $127.4 million), education (up $107.2 million), debt service on the Commonwealth's general obligation and guaranteed debt (up $10.6 million), general government (up $63.3 million), other debt service consisting primarily of Commonwealth appropriation debt (up $63.2 million), special pension contributions (up $56.6 million), contributions to municipalities (up $7.8 million), transportation and communications (up $7.6 million), public safety and protection (up $7.5 million), welfare (up $2.9 million), and housing (up $2.2 million), and a decrease in economic development (down $3.9 million). </R>

<R>Preliminary General Fund net revenues for fiscal year 2004 were $7.985 billion, exceeding the original General Fund budget by $60.4 million. General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2004 are estimated at $8.593 billion, exceeding the original General Fund budget by $298 million. The higher expenditures occurred in the areas of education, public safety and protection and health. The government expects to cover such shortfalls with expected reimbursements of certain federal funds relating to education, funds previously encumbered but not expended and by transferring funds from the Budgetary Fund. </R>

<R>The general obligation bond authorization for the fiscal year 2004 budget was $540 million. </R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2005 </R>

<R>The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2005 totals $24.652 billion. Of this amount, $13.908 billion is assigned to the central government. This amount includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $8.859 billion, which represents an increase of $564 million, or 6.8%, over budgeted amounts for fiscal year 2004. These total resources include $8.309 billion of total revenues and $550 million of additional resources relating to a loan to be obtained from GDB secured by tax receivables. The budget for fiscal year 2005 was approved on July 1, 2004. </R>

<R>The net increase in General Fund revenues in the fiscal year 2005 budget, as compared to the fiscal year 2004 budgeted revenues, are accounted mainly by corporation income taxes (up $109 million), general 5% excise taxes (up $55 million), personal income taxes (up $49 million), excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (up $17 million), federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (up $20 million), and customs duties (up $10 million), and decreases in excise taxes on cigarettes (down $9 million) and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages (down $9 million). </R>

<R>Current expenses and capital improvements of all funds for fiscal year 2005 total $13.909 billion, an increase of $732.8 million from fiscal year 2004. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2005 are increases in education (up $283.9 million), public safety and protection (up $162.2 million), special pension contributions (up $52 million), welfare (up $36.2 million), health (up $29.6 million), economic development (up $15.3 million), transportation and communications (up $8.6 million), contributions to municipalities (up $5.7 million), and housing (up $1.7 million), and decreases in other debt service consisting primarily of Commonwealth appropriation debt (down $8.8 million) and general government (down $50.0 million). </R>

<R>The general obligation bond authorization for the approved fiscal year 2005 budget is $550 million. </R>

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. 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 compensation paid; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services 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 receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system.

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

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

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers (who are not affiliates of FMR) 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 compensation paid is 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 compensation or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund may receive compensation that is in excess of the amount of compensation 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 compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is 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 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' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR does not allocate trades to NFS in exchange for brokerage and research products and services of the type sometimes known as "soft dollars." FMR trades with its affiliated brokers on an execution-only basis.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the compensation 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 compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 22% and 24%, respectively.</R>

<R>A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. </R>

<R>For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the fund paid no brokerage commissions.</R>

<R></R>

<R></R>

<R></R>

<R></R>

<R>During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services.</R>

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 compensation paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. 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 participate, or continue to participate, in the commission recapture program.

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

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. 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

Spartan New York Municipal Income's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Spartan New York Municipal Income is computed by adding Spartan New York Municipal Income's pro rata share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting Spartan New York Municipal Income's pro rata share of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to Spartan New York Municipal Income, and dividing the result by the number of Spartan New York Municipal Income 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.

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 Spartan New York Municipal Income'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 at ordinary income tax rates, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

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

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

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>New York Tax Matters. Individual shareholders of the fund will not be required to include in their adjusted gross income for New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes any portion of distributions received from the fund that are derived from or attributable to (i) interest income on obligations of New York State or any political subdivision thereof (including New York City) or of a possession or territory of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, provided that at least 50 percent of the value of the fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consist of obligations the interest on which is tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes and such income is not otherwise properly includible in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross income, (ii) interest income on obligations of the United States and its possessions even if includible in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross income, provided that at least 50 percent of the value of the fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consists of obligations of the United States and its possessions and the fund provides a timely written notice of designation to shareholders, or (iii) interest income on obligations of any authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States to the extent federal law exempts such income from state income taxation, provided that at least 50 percent of the value of the fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consists of obligations of the United States and its possessions and the fund provides a timely written notice of designation to shareholders. Distributions from the fund that are derived from or attributable to sources other than those described in the preceding sentence, including interest on obligations of other states and their political subdivisions (unless the obligation is created by a compact or an agreement to which New York State is a party) will generally be taxable to individual shareholders as ordinary income for New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes.</R>

<R>Shareholders of the fund that are subject to the New York State corporation franchise tax or the New York City general corporation tax will be required to include exempt-interest dividends paid by the fund in their "entire net income" for purposes of such taxes and will be required to include their investment in shares of the fund in their investment capital for purposes of such taxes.</R>

<R>If a shareholder is subject to unincorporated business taxation by New York City, income and gains distributed by the fund generally will be subject to such taxation, except to the extent such distributions are derived exclusively from interest income on obligations of New York State or any political subdivision thereof (including New York City) and are not properly includible in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross income. However, shareholders of the fund generally will not be subject to the unincorporated business tax imposed by New York City solely by reason of their ownership of shares of the fund.</R>

<R>Shares of the fund will not be subject to property taxes imposed by New York State or New York City.</R>

<R>Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of the fund generally will not be deductible for New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes.</R>

<R>Interest income earned by the fund that is distributed to its shareholders generally will not be taxable to the fund for purposes of the New York State corporation franchise tax or the New York City general corporation tax.</R>

<R>Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to New York personal income tax.</R>

<R>The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the provisions of the tax laws of New York State and New York City presently in effect as they directly govern the taxation of shareholders of the fund. These provisions are subject to change by legislative or administrative action, and any such change maybe retroactive with respect to the fund's transactions. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisers for more detailed information concerning New York State and New York City matters.</R>

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

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.

<R>Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the Fidelity funds and their shareholders. The committees facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 10 standing committees. The members of each committee are non-interested Trustees.</R>

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the 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 proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the committee held 12 meetings.</R>

<R>The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair. 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 and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies relating to, 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 January 31, 2005, the committee held four meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Mr. Lautenbach (Chair), Ms. Small, and Mr. Stavropoulos), the Fixed-Income and International Committee (composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair) and Messrs. Dirks and Gates), and the Select and Special Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chair), Heilmeier, and Wolfe). Each committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee develops an understanding of and reviews the investment objectives, policies, and practices of each fund under its oversight. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters, the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund and all other matters bearing on each fund's investment results. The Fixed-Income and International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research. The Select and Special Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The members of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the non-interested Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, each Fund Oversight Committee held 11 meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Mr. Lautenbach (Chair), Ms. Knowles and Mr. McCoy) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair) and Messrs. Dirks and Gates). Each committee ordinarily meets monthly during the first six months of each year and more frequently as necessary to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the non-interested Trustees in their consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, investment advisers) and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee will be responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income funds. The Equity Contract Committee will be responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, the investment performance of the investment adviser, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the cost of the services to be provided and the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive or will derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the funds grow and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors; considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers information comparing the services to be rendered and the amount to be paid under the funds' contracts with those under other investment advisory contracts entered into with FMR and its affiliates and other investment advisers, such as contracts with other registered investment companies or other types of clients; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of non-interested Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the Equity Contract Committee held three meetings and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee held two meetings.</R>

<R>The Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee is composed of Messrs. Stavropoulos (Chair), Dirks, and Lautenbach, and Ms. Small. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees and fees, including direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as bookkeeping and custodial fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services. Regarding brokerage, 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, commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses, and policies and procedures designed to assure that any allocation of portfolio transactions is not influenced by the sale of Fidelity fund shares. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, 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 (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees, and other means by which intermediaries are compensated for selling fund shares or providing shareholder servicing, including revenue sharing. The committee also considers issues bearing on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds, policies and procedures regarding frequent purchase of Fidelity fund shares, and selective disclosure of portfolio holdings. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee held 12 meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair), and Messrs. Gates, Heilmeier, McCoy, and Wolfe). All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR Corp., and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR Corp. their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR Corp. (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. The committee also plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's compliance with its name test and investment restrictions, the code of ethics relating to personal securities transactions, the code of ethics applicable to certain senior officers of the Fidelity funds, and anti-money laundering requirements. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the committee held 33 meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chair), Gates, Lautenbach, and Stavropoulos. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It reviews 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 necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to non-interested Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with non-interested Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the Fidelity funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of non-interested Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of non-interested Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify non-interested Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the Fidelity funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as a non-interested Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with non-interested Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting non-interested Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective non-interested Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as a non-interested Trustee. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the committee held 14 meetings.</R>

^A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2004 for 303 funds of 58 trusts in the fund 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, 2004, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $132,875; Ralph F. Cox, $132,875; Robert M. Gates, $132,875; George H. Heilmeier, $132,875; Donald J. Kirk, $132,875; Marie L. Knowles, $144,125; Ned C. Lautenbach, $132,875; Marvin L. Mann, $177,875; William O. McCoy, $132,875; and William S. Stavropoulos, $132,875. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $42,086.25; Ralph F. Cox, $42,086.25; Ned C. Lautenbach, $51,358.45; and William O. McCoy, $91,858.45.

^B Compensation figures include cash and may include amounts deferred at Mr. McCoy's election under a deferred compensation plan adopted by the other open-end registered investment companies in the fund complex (Other Open-End Funds). Pursuant to the deferred compensation plan, Mr. McCoy, as a non-interested Trustee, may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his annual fees. Amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan are credited to an account established for Mr. McCoy on the books of the Other Open-End Funds. Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2004, Mr. McCoy voluntarily elected to defer $40,500.

<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.

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.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA) and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). 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.

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

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

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

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

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

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund or each class thereof, as applicable, 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 bears these costs. 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.

<R>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 $910 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for January 2005 - was 0.1243%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $910 billion.</R>

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.2500%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for January 2005, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<R>Fund</R>	<R>Group Fee Rate</R>		<R>Individual Fund Fee Rate</R>		<R>Management Fee Rate</R>
<R>Spartan New York Municipal Income</R>	<R>0.1243%</R>	<R>+</R>	<R>0.2500%</R>	<R>=</R>	<R>0.3743%</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.

<R>For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the fund paid FMR management fees of $5,276,000, $5,680,000, and $5,461,000, respectively.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of Spartan New York Municipal Income'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 Spartan New York Municipal Income's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by Spartan New York Municipal Income will lower its returns and yield.

<R></R>

<R></R>

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

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR 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.

<R>On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, FMR paid FIMM fees of $2,639,000, $2,839,000, and $2,730,000, respectively.</R>

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of the fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM pays FIIA an amount based on the fund's net assets relative to the assets of other registered investment companies with which FMR or FIMM has management contracts. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L an amount equal to the administrative costs incurred in providing investment advice and research services for a fund.

<R>For the past three fiscal years, no fees were paid to FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L on behalf of the fund for providing investment advice and research services pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements.</R>

Mark Sommer is the portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of January 31, 2005, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a base salary, a bonus and, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.

<R>The portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus for the fund that is linked to the fund's pre-tax investment performance is measured against the Lehman Brothers New York 4+ Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager's bonus is based on several components calculated separately over his tenure over a measurement period that eventually encompasses a period of up to three years. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. A subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR Corp., FMR's parent company. FMR Corp. is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage and retirement services.</R>

The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to realign the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the fund. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the fund may outperform the securities selected for the fund. The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the fund's code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts.

The following table provides information relating to other accounts managed by Mr. Sommer as of January 31, 2005:

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

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 contract 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.

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 for research and brokerage services, and the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, (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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage 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.

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 and reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be approved.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

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

I. General Principles

A. Except as set forth herein, portfolio securities should generally be voted in favor of incumbent directors and in favor of routine management proposals. In general, FMR will oppose shareholder proposals that do not appear reasonably likely to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value.

B. Non-routine proposals covered by the following guidelines should generally be voted in accordance with the guidelines.

C. Non-routine proposals not covered by the following guidelines or other special circumstances should be evaluated by the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, subject to review by the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp. A significant pattern of such non-routine proposals or other special circumstances should be referred to the Operations Committee or its designee.

II. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against anti-takeover proposals, including:

A. Fair Price Amendments, except those that consider only a two year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.

B. Classified Boards. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to declassify a board of directors. FMR will consider voting against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.

C. Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.

D. Golden Parachutes:

1. Accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination.

2. Compensation contracts for outside directors.

3. Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment.

4. Adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in our withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

E. Supermajority Provisions.

F. Poison Pills:

1. Introduction of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors. In addition, extension of an existing Poison Pill or the adoption of a new Poison Pill without shareholder approval upon the expiration of an existing Pill will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

2. FMR will consider not withholding its authority on the election of directors if (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than 5 years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill. In addition, the Funds will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, the Funds would withhold their vote from the election of directors at that next meeting.

3. FMR will generally withhold authority on the election of directors if a company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend a Poison Pill Plan to allow the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine not to withhold authority on the election of directors if a company's Poison Pill Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

4. Portfolio shares will be voted for shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.

5. If shareholders are requested to approve adoption of a Poison Pill plan, the Funds will, in general, consider voting in favor of the Poison Pill plan if: (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is determined to be linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is generally not longer than 5 years; (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate an expired Pill; (e) the Pill contains a provision suspending its application, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer, made for all outstanding shares; and (f) the Pill allows the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine to vote in favor of a company's Poison Pill Plan if the Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

G. Elimination of, or limitation on, shareholder rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).

H. Transfer of authority from shareholders to directors.

I. Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by anti-takeover provisions).

III. Stock Option Plans

A. Stock Option plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against Stock Option Plan adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

1. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

2. The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus.

3. The Board may, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan.

4. The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, the plan is administered by a compensation committee not comprised entirely of non-employee directors or the plan is administered by a board of directors not comprised of a majority of non-employee directors, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

5. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines 2, 3 and 4 immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

a. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

b. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

6. The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the Board/Committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past 2 years. However, option repricing may be acceptable if all of the following conditions, as specified by the plan's express terms, or board resolution, are met:

a. The repricing is authorized by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors to fulfill a legitimate corporate purpose such as retention of a key employee;

b. The repricing is rarely used and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control; and

c. The repricing is limited to no more than 5% (large capitalization company) or 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares currently authorized for grant under the plan.

7. Furthermore, if a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors determines that options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, that no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and that such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting, then the company may reprice options in an amount not to exceed an additional 5% or 10%, as applicable, if such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting.

8. For purposes of this Guideline III, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

B. FMR will generally withhold its authority on the election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

C. Proposals to reprice outstanding stock options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to reprice outstanding options based upon whether the proposed repricing is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes and;

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

IV. Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against RSA adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

A. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

B. The Board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.

C. The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

D. The restriction period is less than 3 years. RSAs with a restriction period of less than 3 years but at least 1 year are acceptable if the RSA is performance based.

E. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines B, C and D immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

1. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

2. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

F. For purposes of this Guideline IV, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

G. Proposals to grant restricted stock in exchange for options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to grant restricted stock awards in exchange for options based upon whether the proposed exchange is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be exchanged exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable stock award pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a restricted stock award exchange proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

V. Other Stock-Related Plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis:

A. Omnibus Stock Plans - vote against entire plan if one or more component violates any of the criteria in parts III or IV above, except if the component is de minimus. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in Guidelines III and IV will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.

B. Employee Stock Purchase Plans - vote against if the plan violates any of the criteria in parts III and IV above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the research or recommendations of the relevant proxy research or corporate governance services, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.

C. Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) - generally vote against unless they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.

VI. Unusual Increases in Common Stock:

A. An increase of up to 3 times outstanding and scheduled to be issued, including stock options, is acceptable; any increase in excess of 3 times would be voted against except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase of 5 times is, in general, acceptable.

B. Measured as follows: requested increased authorization plus stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill divided by current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority). (If the result is greater than 3, Portfolio shares should be voted against.)

VII. Portfolio shares should, in general, be voted against the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.

VIII. With regard to Cumulative Voting Rights, Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of introduction or against elimination on a case-by-case basis where this is determined to enhance Portfolio interests as minority shareholders.

IX. Greenmail - Portfolio shares should be voted for anti-greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions.

X. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of charter by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors and/or limiting their liability for Breaches of Care.

A. Portfolio shares should be voted against such proposals if FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by anti-takeover measures.

XI. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.

XII. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.

XIII. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should usually be voted for non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Portfolio shares should be voted against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.

XIV. Voting of shares in securities of any U.S. banking organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the Federal Reserve Board for a determination under federal banking law that no Fund or group of Funds has acquired control of such banking organization.

XV. Avoidance of Potential Conflicts of Interest

Voting of shares shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of mutual fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company shall be voted solely in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and (ii) voting shall be done without regard to any other Fidelity Companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.

FMR applies the following policies and follows the procedures set forth below:

A. FMR has placed responsibility for the Funds' proxy voting in the FMR Legal Department.

B. The FMR Legal Department votes proxies according to the Proxy Voting Guidelines that are approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees.

C. The FMR Legal Department consults with the appropriate analysts or portfolio managers regarding the voting decisions of non-routine proposals that are not addressed by the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Each of the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp is authorized to take a final decision.

D. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(E), (F) or (G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to the extent disclosed in the Fund's registration statement, FMR will use pass through voting or echo voting procedures.

XVI. Executive Compensation

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

XVII. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of an independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider supporting such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of an independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.

XVIII. Auditors

A. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending periodic rotation of a portfolio company's auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the selection of the company's auditor.

B. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the prohibition or limitation of the performance of non-audit services by a portfolio company's auditor. Portfolio shares should also generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending removal of a company's auditor due to, among other reasons, the performance of non-audit work by the auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the oversight of the performance of the auditor of audit or non-audit services for the company.

XIX. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country

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

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income (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 Spartan New York Municipal Income 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income 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 New York 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by Spartan New York Municipal Income 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income shares, additional sales of Spartan New York Municipal Income 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.

Spartan New York Municipal Income has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N. A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York.

Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

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, N.A. receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in 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, 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 Spartan New York Municipal Income 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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

Trust Organization. Spartan New York Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated April 25, 1983. Currently, there is one fund offered in the trust: Spartan New York 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, except that liabilities and expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds or classes.

Shareholder Liability. The fund 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 fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the fund 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 fund or the Trustees relating to the fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the fund and its assets.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the 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 the 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 the 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. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

Voting Rights. 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 and by class.

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

The fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the 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, Members of the Advisory Board, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

<R>Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP, 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.</R>

The Disclosure Policy Committee is comprised of the fund's Treasurer and Deputy Treasurers and the executive officers of FMR. It reports to the Board of Trustees periodically.

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

<R>There is no assurance that the fund's policies on holdings information will protect the fund from the potential misuse of holdings by individuals or firms in possession of that information.</R>

APPENDIX

On July 19, 2004, a class action complaint entitled Gilliam, et al. v. Fidelity Management & Research Co., FMR Co., Inc., FMR Corp., Fidelity Distributors Corp., et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging, among other things, that the defendants failed to disclose revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage practices adequately in the prospectuses of certain Fidelity funds. The complaint, which names over 200 Fidelity funds as nominal defendants, seeks unspecified damages. Four additional lawsuits making similar allegations have been filed, and other similar cases may be filed in the future. Any recovery of damages would revert to the funds. Fidelity believes these allegations are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

• Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.
• <R>Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index, which as of January 31, 2005, was the Lehman Brothers^® New York 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index.</R>
• 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 New York 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 they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in Spartan^® New York Municipal Income Fund (the fund). The information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year, as represented by the performance of Class T, a class of the fund, and compares Class T's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Class T also compares its performance to the performance of an additional index over various periods of time. Returns (before and after taxes) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Year-by-Year Returns

The returns in the chart do not include the effect of Class T's front-end sales charge. If the effect of the sales charge were reflected, returns would be lower than those shown.

Average Annual Returns

The returns in the following table include the effect of Class A's and Class T's maximum applicable front-end sales charge and Class B's and Class C's maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). 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. After-tax returns for Class T are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will vary. 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

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

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

<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 January 31, 2005, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers New York 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of January 31, 2005, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 15.5 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 14.6 years.</R>

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.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities, and 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, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

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

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

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.

<R>Geographic Concentration.The economic condition and finances of the City and State of New York are closely related and both the City and the State have experienced financial difficulty. The fiscal demands on the State may be affected by the fiscal condition of the City, which relies in part on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. It is also possible that the State's finances may be affected by the ability of the City, and certain entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, to market securities successfully in the public credit markets.</R>

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

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

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

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 New York State and City personal income taxes.

Fundamental Investment Policies

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

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

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

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each class'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 each class's NAV.

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

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

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term shareholders in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of fund shares. However, there is the risk that the fund's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

<R>There is no minimum holding period and shareholders can sell their shares at any time. Shareholders will ordinarily comply with the fund's policies regarding excessive trading by allowing 90 days to pass after each investment before they sell or exchange from the fund. The fund may take action if shares are held longer than 90 days if the trading is disruptive for other reasons such as unusually large trade size. The fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase or exchange transaction at any time. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus. In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a redemption fee (short-term trading fee) on redemptions from the fund which is discussed in "Selling Shares."</R>

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Excessive trading activity is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder buys and then sells shares of a fund within 30 days. Shareholders are limited to two roundtrip transactions per fund within any rolling 90-day period, subject to an overall limit of four roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds over a rolling 12-month period. Roundtrip transactions are counted at the shareholder account level for this purpose and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. Transactions of $1,000 or less, systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, mandatory retirement distributions, and transactions initiated by a plan sponsor will not count toward the roundtrip limits. For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges will count toward the roundtrip limits.

<R>Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block for an 85-day period. For repeat offenders, FMR may, but does not have the obligation to, impose long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's common control at any time, other than a participant's account held through an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted a minimum of one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.</R>

<R>Qualified wrap programs will be monitored by matching the adviser's orders for purchase, exchange, or sale transactions in fund shares to determine if the adviser's orders comply with the fund's frequent trading policies. Additions to and withdrawals from a qualified wrap program by the adviser's client will not be matched with transactions initiated by the adviser. Therefore if the adviser buys shares of a fund and an individual client subsequently sells shares of the same fund within 30 days, the client's transaction is not matched with the adviser's and therefore does not count as a roundtrip. However, client initiated transactions are subject to the fund's policies on frequent trading and individual clients will be subject to restrictions due to their frequent trading in a wrap account. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will cease to be a qualified wrap program. If the wrap program is blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of a fund because of excessive trading by the adviser the wrap program will no longer be considered qualified and any transaction whether initiated by the adviser or the client will be matched when counting roundtrips. Commencing no later than March 31, 2005, wrap account client purchases and sale transactions will be monitored under the fund's monitoring policy as though the wrap clients were fund shareholders. A qualified wrap program is: i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.</R>

Prospectus

<R>The fund's excessive trade monitoring policy described above does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund-of-fund(s) or other strategy funds, or omnibus accounts. Trustees or advisers of donor-advised charitable gift funds must certify to the fund's satisfaction that they either work from an asset allocation model or direct transactions in their accounts in concert with changes in a model portfolio and that participants are limited in their ability to influence investments by the trust. A qualified fund-of-fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's policies on frequent trading to shareholders at the fund-of-fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund-of-fund(s) has policies designed to control frequent trading and that they are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer. The adviser to the fund-of-fund(s) must also demonstrate to the Fidelity fund's Treasurer that its investment strategy will not lead to excessive trading. Strategy funds must commence monitoring for excessive trading no later than March 31, 2005. Omnibus accounts are maintained by intermediaries acting on behalf of multiple investors whose individual trades are not ordinarily disclosed to the fund. Short-term trading by these investors is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs and disrupt portfolio management. The fund will monitor aggregate trading in qualified fund-of-funds and known omnibus accounts to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. There is no assurance that these policies will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter market timing.</R>

Shareholder Information - continued

<R>The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.</R>

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except as provided under the fund's policies with respect to known omnibus accounts, qualified fund-of-fund(s), qualified wrap accounts, donor-advised charitable gift funds, and 30 day roundtrips.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of Class A or Class T is the class's offering price or the class's NAV, depending on whether you pay a front-end sales charge.

For Class B or Class C, the price to buy one share is the class's NAV. Class B or Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon redemption.

If you pay a front-end sales charge, your price will be Class A's or Class T's offering price. When you buy Class A or Class T shares at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and invests the rest in Class A or Class T shares of the fund. If you qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver, your price will be Class A's or Class T's NAV.

The offering price of Class A or Class T is its NAV plus the sales charge. The offering price is calculated by dividing Class A's or Class T's NAV by the difference between one and the applicable front-end sales charge percentage and rounding two decimal places.

Your investment professional can help you choose the class of shares that best suits your investment needs.

Your shares will be bought at the next offering price or NAV, as applicable, calculated after your order is received in proper form.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders, including exchanges.

For example, 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.

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

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

• All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
• Fidelity does not accept cash.

Prospectus

• When making a purchase with more than one check, each check must have a value of at least $50.
• Fidelity reserves the right to limit the number of checks processed at one time.
• Fidelity must receive payment within three business days after an order for shares is placed; otherwise your purchase order may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
• If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
• Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.

Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.

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

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C is the class's NAV, minus the redemption fee (short- term trading fee), if applicable, and any applicable CDSC.

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 account 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.

Prospectus

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 short-term shareholder trading.

The trading fee does not apply to i) reinvested dividends, ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund as long as the monies never leave the fund, iii) transfers between classes of a multiple class fund so long as the monies never leave the fund, or iv) redemptions in kind. Fidelity may assess trading fees in any of the preceding transactions if the transaction is intended to circumvent the fund's redemption fee policy. Trading fees apply to shares redeemed due to failure to maintain the account minimum, even if the balance falls below the minimum due to market action.

The trading fee applies to all accounts, including wrap program accounts, except i) investment advisers that manage accounts that invest in the fund, including Strategic Advisers, an affiliate of FMR, may pay trading fees on behalf of their investors, ii) strategy funds, which are unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets, will be treated as a single entity under the trading fee policy, and iii) intermediaries that hold shares on behalf of investors are required by the fund to track trading fees on shares purchased on or after January 3, 2005, based upon the age of the shares of each individual investor, and to remit the trading fees to the fund. The fund will refuse purchase orders from any identified intermediary who does not agree to track and remit trading fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. The Treasurer may extend the effective date for intermediaries that agree to track and remit redemption fees under an implementation plan that the intermediary commits to completing by a date approved by the fund.

Any applicable CDSC is calculated based on your original redemption amount (before deducting any applicable redemption fee).

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, and any applicable CDSC. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

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

• 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

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

You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.

<R>When you sign your account application, you will be asked to certify that your social security or taxpayer identification number (TIN) is correct and that you are not subject to backup withholding for failing to report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require the fund to withhold an amount subject to the applicable backup withholding rate from your taxable distributions and redemptions.</R>

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

If your account balance falls below $1,000 for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable, and any applicable CDSC, on the day your account is closed. Accounts not subject to account minimums 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 March and December.

Earning Dividends

When you buy shares, your method of payment will determine when dividends begin to accrue. For example, shares purchased through an investment professional using the National Security Clearing Corporation begin to earn dividends on the day the fund receives payment for those shares. Shares purchased through an investment professional by any other method begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day the fund receives payment. If you purchase your shares directly from the fund by check or wire, those shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day you placed your purchase order.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Shares sold through an investment professional using the National Security Clearing Corporation earn dividends until, but not including, the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold through an investment professional by any other method earn dividends until, but not including, the first business day following the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold other than through an investment professional earn dividends until, but not including, the first 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 class:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class 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 same class 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 the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain identically registered Fidelity funds. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain identically registered Fidelity funds, automatically reinvested in additional of the same class of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.

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.

Prospectus

Taxes on distributions. The fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and New York State and City personal income taxes.

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

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 New York personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of New York 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 New York 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 New York 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 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 the same class of shares of another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain Fidelity funds, 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 New York 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.

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 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For January 2005, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, was 0.38% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class 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 a class's expenses and boost its performance.

Combined Purchase. To receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction, if you are a new shareholder, you may combine your purchase of Class A or Class T shares with purchases of: (i) Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, and (iii) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program, they must be made on the same day through one intermediary.

Rights of Accumulation. To receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction, if you are an existing shareholder, you may add to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares the current value of your holdings in: (i) Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, (iii) Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund acquired by exchange from any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iv) Class N and Class O shares of Destiny I and Destiny II, and (v) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. The current value of your holdings is determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day prior to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program. For your purchases and holdings to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program, they must have been made through one intermediary.

Letter of Intent. You may receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction on your purchases of Class A and Class T shares made during a 13-month period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). Each Class A or Class T purchase you make after you sign the Letter will be entitled to the reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. Purchases of the following may be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter: (i) Class A and Class T shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares (except those acquired by exchange from Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund that had been previously exchanged from a Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares), (ii) Class B and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, and (iv) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will not be considered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter. You must file your Letter with Fidelity within 90 days of the start of your purchases toward completing your Letter. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter, they must be made through one intermediary. Your initial purchase toward completing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Class A and Class T shares acquired through an employee benefit plan, a Traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, a rollover IRA, a 403(b) program, or a plan covering a sole proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) will be included for purposes of completing your Letter but may not be used to meet the initial investment minimum of 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or Class T shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow. You will earn income, dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed Class A and Class T shares. The escrow will be released when you complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter. If you do not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased front-end sales charges due. If you do not pay the increased front-end sales charges within 20 days after the date your Letter expires, Fidelity will redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class T shares to pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales charge will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of additional Class A or Class T shares at the then-current offering price applicable to the total investment.

Except as provided below, investment professionals receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of sale, a concession equal to 4.00% of your purchase of Class B shares. For purchases of Class B shares through reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions, investment professionals do not receive a concession at the time of sale.

Class C shares may, upon redemption less than one year after purchase, for any reason, including failure to maintain the account minimum, be assessed a CDSC of 1.00%.

Except as provided below, investment professionals will receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of the sale, a concession equal to 1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares. For purchases of Class C shares made for an intermediary-sponsored managed account program, employee benefit plan, 403(b) program or plan covering a sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) or through reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions, investment professionals do not receive a concession at the time of sale.

The CDSC for Class B and Class C shares will be calculated based on the lesser of the cost of the Class B or Class C shares, as applicable, at the initial date of purchase or the value of those Class B or Class C shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Class B and Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, Class B or Class C shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by those Class B or Class C shares that have been held for the longest period of time.

A front-end sales charge will not apply to the following Class A shares:

Special Purchase Shares. Certain Class A and Class T shares may be subject to a CDSC of 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of the shares at the date of purchase or the value of the shares at the time of redemption. These shares, referred to in this prospectus as "Special Purchase Shares," are Class A and Class T shares sold by investment professionals who receive a finder's fee from FDC equal to 0.25% of their purchase amount. Finder's fees are paid only in connection with purchases of: (i) Class A shares in amounts of $1 million or more that qualify for a Class A load waiver; (ii) Class A shares in amounts of $25 million or more; and (iii) Class T shares in amounts of $1 million or more. Investment professionals may be compensated at the time of purchase with a finder's fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount. Finder's fees are not paid in connection with purchases of Class A or Class T shares by insurance company separate accounts.

Investment professionals may be eligible for a finder's fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount on the following purchases of Class A shares of all funds made through broker-dealers and banks: an individual trade of $25 million or more; an individual trade of $1 million or more that is load waived; a trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor (including an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or 403(b) program) over $25 million; a load waived trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor (including an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or 403(b) program) over $1 million; a trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $25 million or more; a load waived trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $1 million or more; an incremental trade toward an investor's $25 million Letter; and an incremental load waived trade toward an investor's $1 million Letter.

Investment professionals may be eligible for a finder's fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount on the following purchases of Class T shares of all funds made through broker-dealers and banks: an individual trade of $1 million or more; a trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor (including an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or 403(b) program) over $1 million; a trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $1 million or more; and an incremental trade toward an investor's $1 million Letter.

For the purpose of determining the availability of Class A or Class T finder's fees, purchases of Class A or Class T shares made (i) with the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidelity fund or (ii) by the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, will not be considered.

Prospectus

The CDSC will be assessed on Special Purchase Shares if they do not remain in Class A or Class T shares of Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares, or Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund, for a period of at least one uninterrupted year. Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC.

To determine the applicability of the CDSC, Class A, Class T, or Daily Money Class shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by Special Purchase Shares that have been held for the longest period of time. Special Purchase Shares held for less than one year will be redeemed last.

To qualify to receive a finder's fee, an investment professional must notify Fidelity in advance of the eligible purchase, and may be required to enter into an agreement with FDC in order to receive the finder's fee.

The CDSC on Special Purchase Shares will not apply to the redemption of shares:

1. Held by insurance company separate accounts;

2. For plan loans or distributions or exchanges to non-Advisor fund investment options from employee benefit plans (except shares of SIMPLE IRA, SEP, and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) purchased on or after February 11, 1999) and 403(b) programs other than Fidelity Advisor 403(b) programs for which Fidelity or an affiliate serves as custodian; or

3. For disability, payment of death benefits, or minimum required distributions starting at age 70 1/2 from Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPs, and plans covering a sole-proprietor or self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans).

A waiver form must accompany these transactions.

To qualify for a Special Purchase Share CDSC waiver, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your redemption.

Reinstatement Privilege. If you have sold all or part of your Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares of the fund, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption proceeds in the same class of the fund or another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, at the NAV next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on shares will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares, as applicable. You must reinstate your Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares into an account with the same registration. This privilege may be exercised only once by a shareholder with respect to the fund and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares had not been redeemed.

To qualify for the reinstatement privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your reinvestment.

Conversion Feature. After a maximum of seven years from the initial date of purchase, Class B shares and any capital appreciation associated with those shares convert automatically to Class A shares of the fund. Conversion to Class A shares will be made at NAV. At the time of conversion, a portion of the Class B shares bought through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also convert to Class A shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will convert is determined by the ratio of your converting Class B non-Dividend Shares to your total Class B non-Dividend Shares.

Class A has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class A is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class A may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class A's average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class A shareholders to do so.

In addition, pursuant to the Class A plan, Class A is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing shareholder support services. Class A may pay this 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Class A currently pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets throughout the month. Class A's 12b-1 (service) fee rate may be increased only when the Trustees believe it is in the best interests of Class A shareholders to do so.

Class T may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class T's average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class T shareholders to do so.

In addition, pursuant to the Class T plan, Class T pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class T's average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

For purchases of Class C shares made for an intermediary-sponsored managed account program, employee benefit plan, 403(b) program or plan covering a sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) or through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions, during the first year of investment and thereafter, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (distribution) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of each class's assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive sales concessions, finder's fees, and payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

<R>In addition to the above payments, each plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of the applicable class's shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC or one or more affiliates, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C. The SAI contains further details about these payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.</R>

<R>If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one share class over another.</R>

<R>In addition, the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services that the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.</R>

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

• Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.
• <R>Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index, which as of January 31, 2005, was the Lehman Brothers^® New York 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index.</R>
• 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 New York 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 they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in Spartan^® New York Municipal Income Fund (the fund). The information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year, as represented by the performance of Institutional Class, a class of the fund, and compares Institutional Class's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Institutional Class also compares its performance to the performance of an additional index over various periods of time. Returns (before and after taxes) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Average Annual Returns

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 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.

^A Effective August 1, 2002, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Institutional Class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.55%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that Institutional Class's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and Institutional Class's annual operating expenses are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated

<R>3 years</R>	<R>$ 170</R>

Through arrangements with the fund's custodian, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping expenses. Including these reductions, the total Institutional Class operating expenses would have been 0.52%.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

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

FMR uses 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 January 31, 2005, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers New York 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of January 31, 2005, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 15.5 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 14.6 years.

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.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities, and 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, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

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, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

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

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.

<R>Geographic Concentration. The economic condition and finances of the City and State of New York are closely related and both the City and the State have experienced financial difficulty. The fiscal demands on the State may be affected by the fiscal condition of the City, which relies in part on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. It is also possible that the State's finances may be affected by the ability of the City, and certain entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, to market securities successfully in the public credit markets.</R>

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

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

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

Fund Basics - continued

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 New York State and City personal income taxes.

Fundamental Investment Policies

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

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and New York State and City personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

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

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates Institutional Class'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 Institutional Class's NAV.

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

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

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term shareholders in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of fund shares. However, there is the risk that the fund's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

<R>There is no minimum holding period and shareholders can sell their shares at any time. Shareholders will ordinarily comply with the fund's policies regarding excessive trading by allowing 90 days to pass after each investment before they sell or exchange from the fund. The fund may take action if shares are held longer than 90 days if the trading is disruptive for other reasons such as unusually large trade size. The fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase or exchange transaction at any time. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus. In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a redemption fee (short-term trading fee) on redemptions from the fund which is discussed in "Selling Shares."</R>

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Excessive trading activity is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder buys and then sells shares of a fund within 30 days. Shareholders are limited to two roundtrip transactions per fund within any rolling 90-day period, subject to an overall limit of four roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds over a rolling 12-month period. Roundtrip transactions are counted at the shareholder account level for this purpose and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. Transactions of $1,000 or less, systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, mandatory retirement distributions, and transactions initiated by a plan sponsor will not count toward the roundtrip limits. For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges will count toward the roundtrip limits.

<R>Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block for an 85-day period. For repeat offenders, FMR may, but does not have the obligation to, impose long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's common control at any time, other than a participant's account held through an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted a minimum of one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.</R>

<R>Qualified wrap programs will be monitored by matching the adviser's orders for purchase, exchange, or sale transactions in fund shares to determine if the adviser's orders comply with the fund's frequent trading policies. Additions to and withdrawals from a qualified wrap program by the adviser's client will not be matched with transactions initiated by the adviser. Therefore if the adviser buys shares of a fund and an individual client subsequently sells shares of the same fund within 30 days, the client's transaction is not matched with the adviser's and therefore does not count as a roundtrip. However, client initiated transactions are subject to the fund's policies on frequent trading and individual clients will be subject to restrictions due to their frequent trading in a wrap account. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will cease to be a qualified wrap program. If the wrap program is blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of a fund because of excessive trading by the adviser the wrap program will no longer be considered qualified and any transaction whether initiated by the adviser or the client will be matched when counting roundtrips. Commencing no later than March 31, 2005, wrap account client purchases and sale transactions will be monitored under the fund's monitoring policy as though the wrap clients were fund shareholders. A qualified wrap program is: i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.</R>

Prospectus

<R>The fund's excessive trade monitoring policy described above does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund-of-fund(s) or other strategy funds, or omnibus accounts. Trustees or advisers of donor-advised charitable gift funds must certify to the fund's satisfaction that they either work from an asset allocation model or direct transactions in their accounts in concert with changes in a model portfolio and that participants are limited in their ability to influence investments by the trust. A qualified fund-of-fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's policies on frequent trading to shareholders at the fund-of-fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund-of-fund(s) has policies designed to control frequent trading and that they are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer. The adviser to the fund-of-fund(s) must also demonstrate to the Fidelity fund's Treasurer that its investment strategy will not lead to excessive trading. Strategy funds must commence monitoring for excessive trading no later than March 31, 2005. Omnibus accounts are maintained by intermediaries acting on behalf of multiple investors whose individual trades are not ordinarily disclosed to the fund. Short-term trading by these investors is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs and disrupt portfolio management. The fund will monitor aggregate trading in qualified fund-of-funds and known omnibus accounts to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. There is no assurance that these policies will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter market timing.</R>

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

<R>The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.</R>

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except as provided under the fund's policies with respect to known omnibus accounts, qualified fund-of-fund(s), qualified wrap accounts, donor-advised charitable gift funds, and 30 day roundtrips.

Insurance company programs for employee benefit plans, 403(b) programs, and plans covering sole-proprietors (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) include such programs offered by a broker-dealer affiliate of an insurance company, provided that the affiliate is not part of an organization primarily engaged in the brokerage business;

For purchases made by managed account programs, insurance company separate accounts or insurance company programs for employee benefit plans, 403(b) programs, or plans covering sole-proprietors (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans), Fidelity may waive the requirement that $1 million be invested in the Institutional Class of Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares.

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

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

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders, including exchanges.

For example, 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.

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

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

• All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
• Fidelity does not accept cash.
• When making a purchase with more than one check, each check must have a value of at least $50.
• Fidelity reserves the right to limit the number of checks processed at one time.
• Fidelity must receive payment within three business days after an order for shares is placed; otherwise your purchase order may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

• If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
• Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.

Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.

Selling Shares

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

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 account 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 short-term shareholder trading.

The trading fee does not apply to i) reinvested dividends, ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund as long as the monies never leave the fund, iii) transfers between classes of a multiple class fund so long as the monies never leave the fund, or iv) redemptions in kind. Fidelity may assess trading fees in any of the preceding transactions if the transaction is intended to circumvent the fund's redemption fee policy. Trading fees apply to shares redeemed due to failure to maintain the account minimum, even if the balance falls below the minimum due to market action.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

The trading fee applies to all accounts, including wrap program accounts, except i) investment advisers that manage accounts that invest in the fund, including Strategic Advisers, an affiliate of FMR, may pay trading fees on behalf of their investors, ii) strategy funds, which are unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets, will be treated as a single entity under the trading fee policy, and iii) intermediaries that hold shares on behalf of investors are required by the fund to track trading fees on shares purchased on or after January 3, 2005, based upon the age of the shares of each individual investor, and to remit the trading fees to the fund. The fund will refuse purchase orders from any identified intermediary who does not agree to track and remit trading fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. The Treasurer may extend the effective date for intermediaries that agree to track and remit redemption fees under an implementation plan that the intermediary commits to completing by a date approved by the fund.

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. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. 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 account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker, 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:

Prospectus

• If you are selling some but not all of your shares, leave at least $1,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open, except accounts not subject to account minimums.
• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
• You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
• Unless otherwise instructed, Fidelity will send a check to the record address.
• Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

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 an Institutional Class shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging your Institutional Class shares for Institutional Class shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares, shares of Fidelity Money Market Trust: Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio or Retirement Money Market Portfolio, or for shares of other Fidelity funds.

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

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

The 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.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability 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 upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

If your account balance falls below $1,000 for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account 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 your account is closed. Accounts not subject to account minimums 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 March and December.

Earning Dividends

When you buy shares, your method of payment will determine when dividends begin to accrue. For example, shares purchased through an investment professional using the National Security Clearing Corporation begin to earn dividends on the day the fund receives payment for those shares. Shares purchased through an investment professional by any other method begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day the fund receives payment. If you purchase your shares directly from the fund by check or wire, those shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day you placed your purchase order.

Shares sold through an investment professional using the National Security Clearing Corporation earn dividends until, but not including, the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold through an investment professional by any other method earn dividends until, but not including, the first business day following the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold other than through an investment professional earn dividends until, but not including, the first 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 Institutional Class:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class 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 Institutional Class 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 Institutional Class shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of identically registered Fidelity funds. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in Institutional Class shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of identically registered Fidelity funds, automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.

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 New York State and City personal income taxes.

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

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 New York personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of New York 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 New York 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 New York 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.

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 Institutional Class shares of another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of Fidelity funds, 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 New York personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund 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 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For January 2005, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.</R>

<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, was 0.38% of the fund's average net assets.</R>

FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class 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 a class's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes Institutional Class's shares.

<R>Intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of:</R>

• <R>payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services</R>
• <R>payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary</R>

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

<R>In addition, such intermediaries may receive from the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate non-distribution related payments and reimbursements in recognition of recordkeeping services that such intermediaries provide. These payments are also further described in the SAI.</R>

Institutional Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class 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 has authorized such payments for Institutional Class.

Prospectus

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Institutional Class'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.

<R>In addition to the above payments, the plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class' shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC or one or more affiliates, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Institutional Class. The SAI contains further details about these payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.</R>

<R>If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one share class over another. </R>

<R>In addition, the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services that the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.</R>

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 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 Spartan^® New York Municipal Income Fund (the fund)'s assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

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

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

Senior Securities

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

Borrowing

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

Underwriting

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

Concentration

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

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

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

Real Estate

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

Commodities

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

Loans

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

Investing for Control or Management

The fund may not invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management.

Pooled Funds

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

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

Diversification

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

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

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

Short Sales

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

Margin Purchases

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

Borrowing

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

Illiquid Securities

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

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

Loans

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

Pooled Funds

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

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

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

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 short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.

Central Funds are 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 regulatory 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, options, and swaps: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures , Options , and Swap Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, Writing Put and Call Options, and Swap Agreements.

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 Index, and some 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.

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

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

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, Options, and Swap Transactions. The trust, on behalf of the fund, has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the fund's operation. Accordingly, the fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.

The fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, write call options, or enter into swap agreements if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and/or options and/or swap agreements under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts, write put options, or enter into swap agreements (other than swaps entered into for hedging purposes under (a)) if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options plus the notional amount of any such swaps 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 futures, options, or swaps.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts, options, and swaps, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts, options, and swaps 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 are less liquid and 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.

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, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for the total return of a security or index), and credit default swaps (where one party pays a fixed rate and the other agrees to buy a specific issuer's debt at par upon the occurrence of certain agreed events, including for example, if the issuer is bankrupt, defaults on any of its debt obligations or makes arrangements with a creditor to modify a debt obligation).

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.

Swap agreements also may allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer. The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the 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 the case of a physically settled credit default swap written by the fund, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of eligible debt of a defaulted issuer. If a swap counterparty's creditworthiness declines, the risk that they may not perform may increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. In the case of a credit default swap written by the fund, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the underlying referenced entity (the debt issuer as to which credit protection has been written) has deteriorated. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the underlying referenced entity has declined.

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. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by Moody's^® Investors Service, Standard & Poor's ^®(S&P^®), Fitch Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or another credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) by the SEC, 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 New York 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 (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.

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 per share (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. 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 NEW YORK

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

<R>Special Considerations Relating to New York Municipal Securities</R>

<R>New York State (the "State") is the third most populous state in the nation and has a relatively high level of personal wealth. The State's economy is diverse, with a comparatively large share of the nation's financial activities, information, education, and health services employment, and a very small share of the nation's farming and mining activity. The State's location and its air transport facilities and natural harbors have made it an important link in international commerce. Travel and tourism constitute an important part of the economy. Like the rest of the nation, New York has a declining proportion of its workforce engaged in manufacturing, and an increasing proportion engaged in service industries. </R>

<R>Recent above-trend national growth rates have helped to buttress the New York State economy. The State is estimated to have emerged from recession in the summer of 2003. The New York City economy is well on its way to a full recovery from the impact of the September 11^th attack, reversing several years where the City's job base was in decline. The continued strengthening of the State economy will help to sustain the housing market, although not at the fast pace of growth observed in 2004. Moreover, with the pickup in equity market activity toward the end of 2004, the profit outlook for the finance industry is brightening, though the level of profits for the year is not expected to match that of 2003. Bonus growth is expected to slow to 15 percent resulting in total New York wage growth of 4.9 percent for 2005, reduced modestly from 5.7 percent in 2004. State nonagricultural employment is projected to rise 1.1 percent in 2005, a significant improvement compared with 0.4 percent growth for 2004, but below projected growth of 1.8 percent for the nation.</R>

<R>As of the close of 2003-04, balances in the State's principal reserves to guard against unbudgeted risks totaled $815 million. The reserves include $794 million in the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund and $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund for litigation. Aside from the $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund, the current Financial Plan does not set aside specific reserves to cover potential costs that could materialize as a result of adverse rulings in pending litigation, Federal disallowances, or other Federal actions that could adversely affect the State's projections of receipts and disbursements.</R>

<R>The Federal government is currently auditing Medicaid claims submitted since 1993 under the School Supportive Health Services Program. At this point, these audits have not been finalized, and, as a result, the liability of the State and school districts for any disallowances cannot be determined. Federal regulations include an appeals process that could postpone repayment of any disallowances. The proposed 2005-06 Financial Plan assumes the Federal government will fully reimburse these costs.</R>

<R>In addition, a portion of Federal Medicaid payments related to School Supportive Health Services has been deferred by the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pending finalization of audits. Since the State has continued to reimburse local school districts for these costs, these Federal deferrals, if not resolved, could negatively impact the Financial Plan. Alternatively, if the State suspends reimbursement, local governments could be adversely affected.</R>

<R>GAAP - Basis Financial Plan</R>

<R>The Division of Budget (DOB) prepares the General Fund and All Governmental Funds Financial Plans in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The GAAP results for 2003-04 and the projections for 2004-05 are based on the accounting principles applied by the State Comptroller in the financial statements issued for the 2003-04 State fiscal year, and reflect the impact of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements, Statement Number 34, "Basic Financial Statements - Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) - for State and Local Governments" ("GASB 34"). The changes are intended to portray the State's net overall financial condition, including activities that affect State assets and liabilities during the fiscal year. </R>

<R>The General Fund is anticipated to end the 2004-05 fiscal year with an operating deficit of $1.1 billion on a GAAP basis, which is primarily attributable to the use of the 2003-04 surplus and the remaining tobacco reserves in 2004-05. As a result, the accumulated deficit is projected at $1.4 billion by the end of the 2004-05 fiscal year.</R>

<R>GAAP - Basis Results for Fiscal Year 2003-04</R>

<R>The Comptroller prepares general purpose financial statements on a GAAP basis for governments as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The statements, released in July each year, contain a Combined Balance Sheet and Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. These statements are audited by independent certified public accountants. The Comptroller also prepares and issues a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which includes a financial overview, the general purpose financial statements, individual fund combining statements, and a statistical section. </R>

<R>Both the Basic Financial Statements and Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for prior fiscal years can be obtained from the Office of the State Comptroller, 110 State Street, Albany, NY 12236 or at the OSC website at www.osc.state.ny.us. </R>

<R>The State's general purposes financial statements for fiscal year 2003-04 prepared on a GAAP basis reflect the following.</R>

<R>Net Assets. The State reported net assets of $41.2 billion, which was comprised of $60.5 billion in capital assets reported net of related debt, $4.3 billion in restricted net assets offset by an unrestricted net assets deficit of $23.6 billion. Net assets reported for governmental activities decreased by $3.3 billion from 2002-03, decreasing from $42.4 billion to $39.1 billion, a decrease of $3.3 billion from the 2002-03. Unrestricted net assets - the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, or other legal requirements - was a deficit of $24.0 billion at March 31, 2004.</R>

<R>The deficit in unrestricted governmental net assets arose primarily because of the issuance of debt for purposes not resulting in a capital asset related to governmental activities. Such outstanding debt included securitizing the State's future tobacco settlement receipts ($4.8 billion) and bonding for local aid payments for school education aid that were financed on a long-term basis by the Local Government Assistance Corporation ($4.6 billion), local highway and bridge projects ($2.7 billion), local mass transit projects ($2.4 billion), and a wide variety of grants and other expenditures not resulting in governmental capital assets ($6.5 billion). This deficit in unrestricted net assets of governmental activities can be expected to continue for as long as the State continues to have obligations outstanding for purposes other than the acquisition of governmental capital assets.</R>

<R>Net assets for business-type activities decreased by 16.5%, $2.1 billion in 2003-04 compared to $2.5 billion in 2003. The decrease in net assets for business-type activities was caused primarily by unemployment benefit payments exceeding employer contributions and other revenues for the Unemployment Insurance Fund ($287 million) and CUNY Senior College operating expenses exceeding operating revenues and State support ($143 million). As of June 30, 2003, $8.0 billion in debt had been issued and was outstanding to finance capital assets of the State's colleges and universities.</R>

<R>Governmental Activities. The State's total expenses for governmental activities of $94.6 billion exceeded its total revenues of $92.5 billion by $2.1 billion. However, the amount that taxpayers ultimately financed for activities through State taxes and other State revenue was $48.0 billion, education aid transfers from the State Lottery was $1.9 billion, grants and contributions was $37.5 billion, and revenues derived by those who directly benefited from the programs was $7.0 billion. Overall, the State's governmental program revenues, including intergovernmental aid, fees for services and capital grants were $44.5 billion in 2003-04. The State paid for the remaining "public benefit" portion of governmental activities with $43.7 billion in taxes and $4.3 billion in other revenues including investment earnings.</R>

<R>Business-type Activities. The cost of all business-type activities in 2003-04 was $15.6 billion. The amount that tax-payers ultimately financed for activities reported as transfers was $797 million because some activity costs were paid by those directly benefiting from the programs ($8.4 billion), grants and contributions ($5.6 billion) and other miscellaneous revenue ($342 million).</R>

<R>State Funds. The State uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with legal and finance related requirements. As the State completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $6.2 billion. Included in this year's total change in fund balance is an operating surplus of $3.0 billion in the State's General Fund. The General Fund operating surplus is attributable to several factors including the sale of tobacco bonds which provided resources of $4.2 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion in personal income tax revenue, a $1.0 billion increase in consumption and use tax revenue, a $645 million increase in Federal grants and a $504 million increase in miscellaneous revenues, offset by a $206 million decline in business and other taxes. Much of the increase in tax revenues is related to improvement in the national economy and tax increases enacted for personal income and sales taxes. The improvement in the national economy favorably affected the State's economy in the form of job growth and increased spending by business. The increase in General Fund revenues was offset by a $2.5 billion increase in expenditures. Local assistance expenditures increased by $2.2 billion due primarily to increased spending for medical assistance and income maintenance programs. State operations increased $300 million due primarily to increased employer pension costs.</R>

<R>The State ended the 2003-04 fiscal year with a General Fund accumulated deficit of $281 million. The reduction of the accumulated deficit versus the accumulated deficit at the end of 2002-03 primarily reflects the restoration of reserves as a result of the improving State economy and the sale of tobacco bonds from which the General Fund received a $4.2 billion benefit.</R>

<R>Capital Assets. As of the end of the 2003-04 fiscal year, the State has $82.9 billion invested in a broad range of capital assets, including equipment, buildings, construction in progress, land preparation, and infrastructure which includes such things as roads and bridges. This amount represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $920 million over last year. </R>

<R>The State is responsible for maintaining more than 42,466 lane miles of highway and 7,798 bridges. Capital spending for highway and bridge maintenance and preservation projects was approximately $1.1 billion in 2004. The State's fiscal year 2005 capital budget calls for it to spend another $6.7 billion for capital projects, of which $3.5 billion is for transportation projects. To pay for these capital projects the State plans to use $207 million in general obligation bond proceeds, $3.5 billion in other financing arrangements with public authorities, $1.8 billion in Federal funds, and $1.1 billion in funds on hand or received during the year.</R>

<R>Debt Administration. The State has obtained long-term financing in the form of voter-approved General Obligation debt (voter approved debt) and other obligations for which voter approval is not needed and has not otherwise been sought (non-voter approved debt). Non-voter approved long-term financing at March 31, 2004 includes debt obligations the State pays pursuant to contractual obligations it entered into with the issuer. Such obligations include certain bonds issued through state public authorities, certificates of participation, and capital leases obtained through vendors. The State administers its long-term financing needs as a single portfolio of state-supported debt that includes general obligation bonds and other obligations of both its governmental activities and business-type activities. Most of the debt reported under business-type activities, all of which was issued for capital assets used in those activities, is supported by payments from resources generated by the State's Governmental Activities - thus it is not expected to be repaid from resources generated by business-type activities. The State Finance Law allows the bonded portion of this single combined debt portfolio, which includes debt reported in both governmental and business-type activities combined, to include debt instruments which result in a variable rate exposure in an amount that does not exceed 15% of total outstanding State-supported debt, and interest rate exchange agreements (swaps) that do not exceed 15% of total outstanding State-supported debt. At March 31, 2004 the State had $1.9 billion in State-supported variable rate bonds outstanding and $5.5 billion in variable rate bonds outstanding that are subject to swap agreements resulting in effective fixed rates, subject to certain risks. In addition, the State had $2.4 billion in convertible bonds that, at various dates in the future, can remain in a fixed rate mode, at new fixed rates to be established at future mandatory tender dates, or convert to a variable rate. At March 31, 2004, variable rate bonds, net of those subject to the fixed rate swaps, were equal to 4.7% of the State-supported bonded debt portfolio. Total swap agreements of $5.5 billion were equal to 13.5% of the total bonded portfolio.</R>

<R>At March 31, 2004 the State had $46.9 billion in bonds, notes, and other financing agreements outstanding compared with $39.3 billion last year, an increase of $7.6 billion.</R>

<R>2004-2005 Financial Plan</R>

<R>On March 31, 2004, the State Legislature enacted appropriations for all State-supported, contingent contractual, and certain other debt service obligations for the entire 2004-05 fiscal year. On August 11, 2004, the Legislature completed action on the remaining appropriations and accompanying legislation constituting the budget for the 2004-05 fiscal year. The Governor vetoed portions of the budget revisions enacted by the Legislature on August 20, 2004. The 2004-05 Enacted Budget Financial Plan (the "Enacted Budget Financial Plan") reflects the actions of the Legislature and Governor as of September 19, 2004.</R>

<R>The State's Financial Plan forecasts receipts and disbursements for the fiscal year and is revised quarterly during the year as required by the State Finance Law. The quarterly revisions update the Financial Plan to reflect variations in actual spending and receipts from the amounts initially estimated in Enacted Budget Financial Plan. DOB issued the first quarterly update to the Financial Plan (the "First Quarterly Update") on November 1, 2004 and the second quarterly update to the Financial Plan (the "Second Quarterly Update") on January 18, 2005.</R>

<R>Receipts. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan estimated total General fund receipts in support of the 2004-05 Financial Plan to be $42.7 billion. The Second Quarterly Update projects General Fund receipts at $43.5 billion. The State has revised the revenue estimate upward from the Enacted Budget Financial Plan and the First Quarterly Update based on actual revenue collections and the strength of key economic indicators, both of which have exceeded expectations.</R>

<R>Personal income tax receipts were estimated in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan to reach $18.4 billion, an increase by $2.7 billion (17.2 percent) from 2003-04, due to continued economic improvement in 2004, enactment of a three-year temporary tax increase from 2003 to 2005, and a robust settlement for 2003 tax returns, offset by a larger deposit into the Personal Income Tax Refund Reserve Account and a higher deposit into the Revenue Bond Tax Fund (RBTF). The Second Quarterly Update increases estimated personal income tax receipts to $18.9 billion. </R>

<R>User taxes and fees include receipts from the State sales tax, cigarette and tobacco products taxes, alcoholic beverage taxes and fees, motor fuel taxes, and motor vehicle license and registration fees. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan projected General Fund user taxes and fees net receipts for 2004-05 to total $8.7 billion, an increase of $700 million (8.8 percent) from reported 2003-04 collections. The Second Quarterly Update increases estimated user taxes and fees receipts to $8.8 billion.</R>

<R>Business taxes include the corporate franchise tax, corporation and utilities taxes, the insurance franchise tax, and the bank franchise tax. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan projected General Fund business tax receipts in 2003-04 to total $3.7 billion, an increase of $301 million (8.8 percent) from 2003-04 collections. The Second Quarterly Update increases estimated business tax receipts to $3.8 billion.</R>

<R>General Fund other taxes, include estate, pari-mutuel, gift, real property gains, and racing admissions/boxing and wrestling exhibition taxes. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan projected General Fund other tax receipts to total $764 million, a decrease of $4 million below 2002-03. The Second Quarterly Update revises projected other tax receipts downwards to $730 billion.</R>

<R>General Fund miscellaneous receipts for 2004-05 are estimated to reach $2.4 billion, a decrease of $3.5 billion from 2003-04. After adjusting for the receipt of one-time tobacco securitization moneys ($4.2 billion) in 2003-04, the annual increase is projected at $721 million. This increase is primarily due to the acceleration of $225 million in housing State of New York Mortgage Agency balances from 2005-06 into 2004-05, and the receipt of $182 million from the Tobacco Settlement Fund.</R>

<R>Total receipts in 2004-05 are projected to be $42.7 billion in the General Fund, $63.2 billion in State Funds, and $100.1 billion in All Governmental Funds, an annual increase of $328 million (.8 percent), $1.0 billion (1.6 percent) and $1.1 billion (1.1 percent) respectively.</R>

<R>Receipts on an All Funds basis, which is the broadest measure of State budgetary activity, are expected to reach $100.1 billion in 2004-05, an increase of $1.1 billion (1.1 percent) from 2003-04. </R>

<R>Disbursements. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan estimated General Fund disbursements of $43.0 billion in 2004-05, an increase of $974 million (2.3 percent) from 2003-04.</R>

<R>The First Quarterly Update revised estimated General Fund spending upward to $43.2 billion, an increase of $215 million from the Enacted Budget Financial Plan, primarily attributable to higher costs for Medicaid and the Department of Correctional Services.</R>

<R>The Second Quarterly Update estimates General Fund spending will total $43.4 billion in 2004-05. A delay in the expected receipt of $200 million from the conversion of Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield to a for-profit corporation that was budgeted to reduce General Fund Medicaid spending and cost overruns in correctional services account for most of the increase. Financial Management Plan savings and lower than expected claims from counties under the General Public Health Works program partially offset these costs.</R>

<R>Reserves/General Fund Closing Balance. The Second Quarterly Update projects the State will end the 2004-05 fiscal year with a balance of $1.2 billion in the General Fund. The balance consists of $864 million in the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund, $301 million in the Community Projects Fund, and $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund. The closing balance excludes $693 million projected to be on deposit in the tax refund reserve account at the end of 2004-05. The tax refund reserve account is used to reserve money for the payment of tax refunds that are owed as part of the 2004 tax year, but are not processed until early in the subsequent fiscal year, as well as to accomplish other Financial Plan objectives. The projected balance includes amounts for the payment of tax refunds and $170 million from the 2004-05 estimated surplus, which the Governor recommends using to help balance the 2005-06 Financial Plan.</R>

<R>2005-2006 Financial Plan</R>

<R>On January 18, 2005, the Governor presented his 2004-05 Executive Budget to the Legislature which contained financial projections, a proposed Capital Program and Financing Plan for the State's 2004-05 fiscal year.</R>

<R>Receipts. The State projects General Fund receipts of $45.1 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $1.6 billion (3.6 percent) from the current year. The increase in projected General Fund receipts is the result of increased collections from the personal income tax and sales tax, resulting from temporary tax actions taken in the 2003-04 Enacted Budget as well as continued growth resulting from the improving economic climate.</R>

<R>Personal income tax General Fund receipts for 2005-06 (excluding the Refund Reserve transaction) are projected to reach $19.7 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion from 2004-05 offset by increased School Tax Reduction (STAR) deposits of $130 million. The 2005-06 estimate reflects the accelerated phase-out of the temporary tax surcharge and other tax actions.</R>

<R>General Fund user taxes and fees receipts for 2005-06 are projected to reach $8.6 billion, a decrease of $130 million (1.5 percent) from 2004-05. The sales and use tax is projected to decrease by $146 million (1.8 percent) from 2004-05 due to the loss of the temporary one-quarter percent sales tax surcharge which is partially offset by growth in the sales tax base. Other user taxes and fees are projected to increase by $16 million (2.4 percent) from 2004-05, due mainly to the proposed increase in alcoholic beverage taxes partially offset by the increased dedication of motor vehicle fees to transportation funds.</R>

<R>General Fund business tax receipts in 2005-06 are projected to be $4.1 billion or $302 million (8.0 percent) over 2004-05. This projected increase reflects the continued strength of corporate and bank profitability.</R>

<R>The estimate for General Fund other taxes in 2005-06 is $778 million, which is $48 million (6.6 percent) above 2004-05. This estimate reflects an increase in estimated receipts from the estate tax, offset by minor losses in the other sources of revenue in this category.</R>

<R>General Fund miscellaneous receipts are projected to total $2.5 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $158 million (6.9 percent) from the current fiscal year, due to increases in various fines and penalties, property sales, local government reimbursements, a proposal to increase the Part D Medicare subsidy, increased payments from the New York Power Authority, and the expected modest increase in abandoned property receipts. These are offset by losses of tobacco bond proceeds, the loss of the deposit of the wireless surcharge in the General Fund and the loss of the Local Government Assistance Corporation sales tax deposit.</R>

<R>Transfers to the General Fund from personal income tax receipts deposited to the Revenue Bond Tax Fund in excess of debt service payable on State Personal Income Tax Bonds is projected to total $6.1 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $287 million from 2004-05. The annual increase is attributable to overall growth in personal income tax ($436 million), partially offset by an increase in debt service costs on those bonds ($149 million). Transfers to the General Fund of sales tax receipts deposited to the Local Government Assistance Tax Fund in excess of debt service due on Local Government Assistance Corporation bonds is projected to total $2.3 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $129 million from the prior year. This growth is due to overall growth in sales tax receipts ($150 million), partially offset by a modest increase in debt service costs ($21 million).</R>

<R>Transfers to the General Fund from the real estate transfer tax deposited to the Clean Water/Clean Air (CW/CA) Debt Service Fund in excess of debt service due on those general obligation bonds is projected to total $510 million in 2005-06. The modest change is due to overall growth in real estate transfer taxes ($5 million), more than offset by an increase in debt service costs ($15 million).</R>

<R>All other transfers are projected to total $387 million in 2005-06, an annual decrease of $117 million primarily due to nonrecurring transfers from SUNY and CUNY to reimburse the General Fund for equipment costs ($163 million).</R>

<R>All Funds receipts are projected to total $105.5 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $4.4 billion (4.3 percent) over 2004-05 projections. The total comprises tax receipts ($50.7 billion), Federal grants ($36.6 billion) and miscellaneous receipts ($18.3 billion). </R>

<R>Disbursements. The State projects adjusted General Fund disbursements, including transfers to other funds, of $45.1 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $1.2 billion (2.6 percent) from 2004-2005. Increases in Grants to Local Governments ($454 million), State Operations ($448 million), general state charges ($224 million), and transfers ($34 million) account for the change.</R>

<R>Local assistance spending is projected at $30.6 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $454 million from the current year. Growth in school aid ($321 million), CUNY operating costs (mainly for salary growth and increases in fixed costs) and CUNY/SUNY community college enrollment growth ($163 million), and welfare (due mainly to caseload increases) ($89 million) are partially offset by savings from Medicaid cost containment, TAP reforms, a patient income revenue reclassification described below, and other actions.</R>

<R>State Operations spending is projected to total $8.1 billion in 2005-06 an increase of $448 million (5.9 percent) from the prior year. The projected increase in State Operations is affected by the use of $400 million in patient income revenues in 2005-06 to offset local assistance spending, instead of offsetting State Operations spending as was done in 2004-05. The change results in a $400 million annual increase in State operations costs financed by the General Fund and a comparable decrease in local assistance spending. Adjusting for this reclassification, State Operations is projected to increase by $48 million from 2004-05. The growth, before any budget actions, is comprised of scheduled wage increases under current labor contracts, normal salary creep, and salary grade changes ($338 million), costs associated with the gaming and racing program ($108 million) and other program growth ($84 million). This underlying growth is offset by savings in agency operations ($161 million), the use of alternate sources of revenue to fund operations, and the removal of an institutional payroll.</R>

<R>DOB projects the Executive branch workforce will total 191,424 in 2005-06, an increase of 491 over the current-year estimate.</R>

<R>Spending for General State Charges is projected to be $3.9 billion in 2005-06, an increase of $224 million (6.1 percent) over the prior year. This annual increase is due mostly to rising costs of employee health benefits (an increase of $189 million to $2.2 billion), higher costs related to employer pension contributions (an increase of $133 million to $935 million) and fringe benefit increases for unsettled collective bargaining agreements ($31 million). These increases are partially offset by higher fringe benefit cost reimbursements to the General Fund which are payable from other funds, thus reducing General Fund costs ($129 million).</R>

<R>Transfers to Other Funds are projected to total $2.5 billion in 2005-06 and include General Fund transfers to support debt service ($1.7 billion), capital projects ($219 million), and other funds ($627 million).</R>

<R>General Fund transfers for debt service decline by $66 million (3.8 percent) from 2004-05 primarily due to $150 million in projected savings from debt management actions, offset by higher debt service on existing bonds for corrections and CUNY, and the accounting treatment of the Personal Income Tax Revenue Bond program which reduces General Fund costs and increases costs State Funds.</R>

<R>Transfers to support capital projects increase by $21 million mainly from a recast of the timing of capital spending based on experience to date.</R>

<R>All other transfers are projected to increase by $79 million (14.4 percent) in 2005-06 due primarily to a nonrecurring transfer to the Health Care Reform Act Special Revenue Fund to pay a prior year loan from the Physicians Excess Medical Malpractice Program ($45 million), and an increase in the State subsidy payments to State University of New York hospitals ($27 million).</R>

<R>Authorities and Localities </R>

<R>Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA"). The official financial disclosure of the MTA and its subsidiaries is available by contacting the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Finance Department, 347 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10017 or by visiting the MTA website at www.mta.info.</R>

<R>New York City. The fiscal demands on the State may be affected by the fiscal condition of the City, which relies in part on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. It is also possible that the State's finances may be affected by the ability of the City, and certain entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, to market securities successfully in the public credit markets. The official financial disclosure of the City of New York and financing entities issuing debt on its behalf is available by contacting Raymond J. Orlando, Director of Investor Relations, (212) 788-5875 or contacting the Office of Management and Budget, 75 Park Place, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10007.</R>

<R>Fiscal Oversight for New York City. In response to the City's fiscal crisis in 1975, the State took action to help the City return to fiscal stability. These actions included the establishment of the Municipal Assistance Corporation for the City of New York (NYC MAC), to provide the City with financing assistance; the New York State Financial Control Board (FCB), to oversee the City's financial affairs; and the Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City of New York (OSDC), to assist the Control Board in exercising its powers and responsibilities. A "control period" existed from 1975 to 1986, during which the City was subject to certain statutorily prescribed fiscal controls. The FCB terminated the control period in 1986 when certain statutory conditions were met. State law requires the FCB to reimpose a control period upon the occurrence or "substantial likelihood and imminence" of the occurrence, of certain events, including (but not limited to) a City operating budget deficit of more than $100 million or impaired access to the public credit markets.</R>

<R>The staffs of the FCB, OSDC, the City Comptroller and the Independent Budget Office, issue periodic reports on the City's financial plans. Copies of the most recent reports are available by contacting: FCB, 123 William Street, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Executive Director; OSDC, 59 Maiden Lane, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Deputy Comptroller; City Comptroller, Municipal Building, 6th Floor, One Centre Street, New York, NY 10007-2341, Attention: Deputy Comptroller for Budget; and IBO, 110 William Street, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Director.</R>

<R>Other Localities. Certain localities outside New York City have experienced financial problems and have requested and received additional State assistance during the last several State fiscal years. The potential impact on the State of any future requests by localities for additional oversight or financial assistance is not included in the projections of the State's receipts and disbursements for the State's 2004-05 fiscal year or thereafter.</R>

<R>Litigation</R>

<R>New York is currently involved in certain litigation where adverse decisions could have a material impact on State finances. Included in this litigation are the following:</R>

<R>In Campaign for Fiscal Equity, Inc., et al. v. State, et al., plaintiffs claimed that the State's method of determining funding levels for New York City public schools has a disparate impact on plaintiffs in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and does not provide a "sound basic education" as required by the State Constitution. By a decision dated June 26, 2003, the New York State Court of Appeals held that the evidence supported the trial court's conclusion that New York City schoolchildren were not receiving the constitutionally mandated opportunity for a sound basic education, and remitted the case to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with its decision. In August 2004, the Supreme Court, New York County, referred this case to a panel of three referees to make recommendations as to how the State should satisfy the Court of Appeals holding. On November 30, 2004, the panel recommended that that the State pay New York City Schools a total of $14.1 billion over the next four years in additional operations funding and $9.2 billion over the next five years for capital improvements.</R>

<R>In Oneida Indian Nation of New York et al. v. County of Oneida, plaintiff claimed that a 250,000 acre area in Madison and Oneida counties was illegally sold to the State in 1795. On December 7, 2004, settlement agreements were signed between the State, the Oneidas of Wisconsin and the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe, which would in part require the passage of State and Federal legislation to become effective. Such legislation must be enacted by September 1, 2005 unless the parties agree to an extension of time. The agreements contemplate the extinguishment of all Oneida and other Indian claims in the tract at issue in this litigation. Although the agreements provide for monetary payment, transfers of lands and other consideration to non-signatory tribal plaintiffs, these agreements have not been signed by the United States, the Oneidas of New York, the Oneida of the Thames Band or the New York Brothertown.</R>

<R>In Canadian St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians, et al., v. State of New York, et al., plaintiffs seek ejectment and monetary damages with respect to their claim that approximately 15,000 acres in Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties were illegally transferred from their predecessors-in-interest. On November 29, 2004, the plaintiff tribal entities, with one exception, approved a settlement proposed by the State, which would require enactment of State and Federal legislation to become effective.</R>

<R>In Cayuga Indian Nation of New York v. Cuomo et al. the federal District Court, in February 2000, granted plaintiffs $211 million in prejudgment interest on 64,000 acres held to be illegally sold to the State in 1795. The State appealed from the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In November 2004, settlements were signed on by the State with the Chief of the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma and Cayuga Indian Nation of New York which would, in part, require enactment of State and Federal legislation to become effective. Such legislation must be enacted by September 1, 2005 unless the parties agree to an extension of time. These agreements provide for differential payments to be made to the plaintiff tribes, based upon the outcome of the appeal now pending in the Second Circuit.</R>

<R>In Freedom Holdings Inc. et al. v. Spitzer et ano., two cigarette importers brought an action in 2002 challenging portions of laws enacted by the State under the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement ("MSA") that New York and many other states entered into with the major tobacco manufacturers. The initial complaint alleged: (1) violations of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution; (2) the establishment of an "output cartel" in conflict with the Sherman Act; and (3) selective nonenforcement of the laws on Native American reservations in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action. Plaintiffs appealed from this dismissal. In an opinion decided January 6, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1) affirmed the dismissal of the Commerce Clause claim; (2) reversed the dismissal of the Sherman Act claim; and (3) remanded the selective enforcement claim to the District Court for further proceedings. Plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint that also challenges the MSA itself (as well as other related State statutes) primarily on preemption grounds, and plaintiffs currently are seeking preliminary injunctive relief.</R>

<R>In Consumers Union of U.S., Inc. v. State, plaintiffs challenge the constitutionality of statutes relating to the authorization of the conversion of Empire Health Choice, d/b/a Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield from a not-for-profit corporation to a for-profit corporation. The law requires, in part, that upon such conversion, assets representing 95 percent of the fair market value of the not-for-profit corporation be transferred to a fund designated as the "public asset fund" to be used for the purpose set forth in the Insurance Law. The State and private defendants have separately moved to dismiss the complaint. On November 6, 2002, the Supreme Court, New York County, granted a temporary restraining order, directing that the proceeds from the initial public offering of the for-profit corporation be deposited with the State Comptroller in an interest-bearing account, pending the hearing of a motion for a preliminary injunction, which was returnable simultaneously with the motions to dismiss, on November 26, 2002. By decision and order dated May 20, 2004, the Appellate Division, First Department affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff's original complaint but also affirmed the denial of defendants' motion to dismiss the amended claim. The State, the other defendants and the plaintiffs have been granted leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals.</R>

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO

<R>The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies, and instrumentalities, as available on the date of this SAI. 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.</R>

<R>The Economy of Puerto Rico</R>

<R>The economy of Puerto Rico is fully integrated with that of the United States (the "U.S."). In fiscal year 2003 (July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003), trade with the U.S. accounted for approximately 86% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 49% of its imports. In this regard, in fiscal year 2003 Puerto Rico experienced a $21.4 billion positive merchandise trade balance. </R>

<R>Gross product in fiscal year 1999 was $38.3 billion ($40.2 billion in 2000 prices) and gross product in fiscal year 2003 was $47.4 billion ($42.7 billion in 2000 prices). This represents an increase in gross product of 23.7% from fiscal year 1999 to 2003 (6.1% in 2000 prices). </R>

<R>Since fiscal year 1985, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently each fiscal year. In fiscal year 2003, aggregate personal income was $43.6 billion ($41.7 billion in 2000 prices) and personal per capita income was $11,279 ($10,784 in 2000 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 of the United States. Transfer payments to individuals in fiscal year 2003 were $9.6 billion, of which $7.4 billion, or 77%, represented entitlements to individuals who had previously performed services or made contributions under programs such as Social Security, Veterans' Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions. </R>

<R>Puerto Rico has enjoyed more than two decades of almost continuous economic expansion. Almost every sector of the economy has participated in this expansion, and record levels of employment have been achieved. Factors contributing to this expansion included government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, a significant expansion in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects and private investment, primarily in housing, the relatively low cost of borrowing, and low oil prices in many years during this period. </R>

<R>Factors affecting the United States economy usually have a significant impact on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy. These include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the level of oil prices, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures. Consequently, the economic slowdown in the United States in 2001 and 2002 and the subsequent recovery in 2003, which continued in 2004, have also been reflected in the Puerto Rico economy. </R>

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal year 2004 averaged 1,234,200, a 1.9% increase from 1,210,800 in fiscal year 2003. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical levels, remains above the United States average. The average unemployment rate decreased from 12.5% in fiscal year 1999 to 11.4% in fiscal year 2004. For the months of May, June, and July 2004, the unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) was 9.8%, 9.3%, and 9.7%, respectively. </R>

<R>Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy are manufacturing and services. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher wages, high technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, computer, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high technology machinery and equipment. The services sector, including finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism, also plays a major role in the economy. It ranks second only to manufacturing in contribution to the gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment. </R>

<R></R>

<R>Manufacturing. The Planning Board estimates that in fiscal year 2003, manufacturing generated $31.3 billion or 42.1% of gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2003, payroll employment for the manufacturing sector was 116,853, a decrease of 4.2% compared with fiscal year 2002, with most of the job losses occurring in labor-intensive industries. Most of the island's manufacturing output is shipped to the U.S. mainland, which is also the principal source of semi-finished manufactured articles on which further manufacturing operations are performed in Puerto Rico. The U.S. minimum wage laws are applicable in Puerto Rico. As of July 2004, the average hourly manufacturing wage rate in Puerto Rico was 66.9% of the average mainland United States rate. </R>

<R>Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during the earlier phases of its industrial development and includes several industries less prone to business cycles. In the last three decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift in emphasis is best exemplified by the large investment over the last decade in the pharmaceutical, scientific instruments, computer, and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico. One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing sector has been the tax incentives offered by the federal and Puerto Rico governments. Federal legislation enacted in 1996, however, which amended Section 936 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") phases out the federal tax incentives during a ten-year period. </R>

<R>Total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 27,047 from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2004. This 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 investment and productivity. Most of the decrease in employment has been concentrated in labor-intensive industries, particularly apparel, textiles, tuna canning, and leather products. </R>

<R>Services. 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 economies. The services sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, tourism, and other services, ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment. In fiscal year 2003, services generated $28.7 billion of gross domestic product or 38.7% of the total. Employment in the services sector grew from 485,241 in fiscal year 1999 to 506,941 in fiscal year 2003, representing 51.1% of total employment. This represents a cumulative increase of 4.5%. During the period between fiscal years 1999 and 2003, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 6.4%, while payroll employment in this sector increased at an average annual rate of 1.1%. It should also be noted that, in the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 17% of total employment according to the Household Survey. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the services and construction sectors. For example, in fiscal year 2003, the number of self-employed individuals was 180,464, out of which 46.0% were in the services sector and 10.5% were in the construction sector. The development of the services sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base. </R>

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

<R></R>

<R>Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate experienced significant growth in fiscal years 1999 to 2003, as measured by gross domestic product. Gross domestic product in wholesale and retail trade increased from $8.1 billion in fiscal year 1999 to $8.6 billion in fiscal year 2003. In finance, insurance, and real estate, gross domestic product increased from $8.2 billion in fiscal year 1999 to $12.7 billion in fiscal year 2003. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico. Total assets of these institutions as of June 30, 2004 were $85.4 billion. As of December 31, 2003, there were thirty-five international banking entities operating in Puerto Rico licensed to conduct offshore banking transactions, with total assets of $56.5 billion. </R>

<R>Government. The government sector of Puerto Rico plays an important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 2003, the government accounted for $7.1 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 9.6% of the total. The government is also a significant employer, providing jobs for 303,914 workers or 30.3% of total non-farm payroll employment in fiscal year 2004. The government's share of non-farm payroll employment (including the central government, public corporations, and municipalities, but excluding the federal government), measured according to the payroll survey, had decreased from 34.9% in fiscal year 1980 to 26.4% in fiscal year 2000. </R>

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

<R>Construction. Although the construction industry represents a relatively small segment of the economy compared to other sectors, it has made significant contributions to the growth of the economic activity. However, during the period from fiscal year 1999 through fiscal year 2003, real construction investment decreased 3.1%. This decline is relatively small when compared to the relatively high levels of construction activity. </R>

<R>The total value of construction permits increased 70.3% for the same five-year period. Public investment has been an important component of construction investment. During fiscal year 2003, approximately 42% of the total investment in construction was related to public projects. During fiscal year 2003, the total value of construction permits increased 22.0% compared with fiscal year 2002. Total sales of cement, including imports, increased 3.2% during fiscal year 2003 in comparison with fiscal year 2002. Average payroll employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2003 was 68,700, a decrease of 0.7% from fiscal year 2002. </R>

<R></R>

<R>During fiscal year 2004, total sales of cement, including imports, decreased 1.9% compared with fiscal year 2003. This decrease in total sales of cement was attributable in part to heavy rains that affected the island in November 2003, causing a 31% decrease in total sales of cement as compared to November 2002. Excluding November 2003, total sales of cement for fiscal year 2004 increased 0.9%. Total imports of iron and steel products increased 36.2% during fiscal year 2003. During fiscal year 2004, the total value of construction permits increased 8.2% compared with fiscal year 2003. The average employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2004 was 68,355. </R>

<R></R>

<R>The Planning Board's forecast for construction investment, both public and private, for fiscal year 2004 was $6.7 billion, in nominal terms, an increase (in real terms) of 4.6% when compared to fiscal year 2003. For fiscal year 2004, approximately $3.1 billion was expected to be invested in public improvements. Public investment will be primarily in housing, new schools (and school reconstruction programs), water projects, and other public infrastructure projects. </R>

<R>Tourism. Tourism also contributes significantly to the island economy. During fiscal year 2003, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,733,300, an increase of 8.6% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2002, when tourism in Puerto Rico was adversely affected in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2003 was 68.0% compared to 64.4% in fiscal year 2002. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 9.1% during fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased 3.5% during fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002, representing openings of new hotels and hotel expansions. During fiscal year 2003, hotels comprising 870 new hotel rooms opened, and, as of January 2004, several hotels, representing more than 4,000 additional rooms, are under various stages of development or construction. </R>

<R>In fiscal year 2004, the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,791,432, an increase of 3.4% over the number of persons registered during fiscal year 2003. The number of non-resident tourists registered in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2004 increased 6.0% in comparison with fiscal year 2003. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2004 was 72.4% compared to 68.0% in fiscal year 2003. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels increased 4.9% during fiscal year 2004 compared with fiscal year 2003. </R>

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

<R>Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and the quality of produce, and stimulating the consumption of locally produced agricultural products. During fiscal year 2003, gross income from agriculture was $756.2 million, an increase of 1.7% compared with fiscal year 2002. Agriculture gross income consists of the total value of production in the principal agricultural sectors, which include traditional crops, livestock and poultry, grains, vegetables, fruits, and other products. During fiscal year 2003, non-traditional crops, fruits, starchy and other vegetables, and ornamental plants contributed a higher percentage of the sector's income. </R>

<R>The Commonwealth supports agricultural activities through incentives, subsidies, and technical and support services, in addition to income tax exemptions for qualified income derived by bona fide farmers. Act No. 225, approved on 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 businesses. Subsequent legislation imposed an aggregate annual limit of $15 million on the investment tax credits available under Act. No. 225. </R>

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

<R>Economic Development Program for the Private Sector </R>

<R>During the past three years, the Commonwealth's economic development program for the private sector has focused on initiatives which it believes will lead to sustainable economic development. The principal initiatives have been: (i) the enactment of laws in Puerto Rico providing tax benefits that will promote foreign and local investment and increased economic activity; (ii) the acceleration and simplification of the local permitting process; (iii) the reduction of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico; and (iv) the promotion of new federal income tax benefits that enhance the attractiveness of establishing operations in Puerto Rico. Recognizing a shift in its post-industrial economy, the Commonwealth recently formulated a strategic plan to enhance its competitiveness in knowledge-based economic sectors, such as research and development of science and technology products. Two major components of this strategic plan are: (i) to build on the strong presence in Puerto Rico of multinational companies in the science and technology sectors and Puerto Rico's skilled workforce to promote the expansion of research and development facilities by companies currently operating in Puerto Rico and to attract new leaders in such sectors, and (ii) to provide incentives for companies and entrepreneurs to engage in the process of innovation and commercialization of new products and establish research and development facilities in Puerto Rico. The latter initiative includes the creation of a government-sponsored trust to provide grants and financing to companies and entrepreneurs that engage in these activities. </R>

<R>Puerto Rico Tax Incentives </R>

<R>One of the benefits enjoyed by Puerto Rico is that corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the United States) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to federal income taxes. This enables the Commonwealth to utilize local tax legislation as a tool for stimulating economic development in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>In this regard, the Commonwealth has enacted legislation extending certain benefits of its most recent tax incentive law, Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997, as amended (the "1998 Tax Incentives Act"), to all eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws. These benefits include a 200% deduction for research and development expenses and worker training expenses, the ability to deduct as a current expense investments in machinery and equipment, and the ability to claim a tax credit equal to 25% of the purchase price of a product manufactured in Puerto Rico (in excess of a base amount) or 35% of the purchase price of a locally manufactured recycled product. </R>

<R>The 1998 Tax Incentives Act was also amended to allow a credit against the Puerto Rico tax liability of investors that acquire the majority of the stock, partnership interests, or operational assets of an exempted business that is in the process of closing operations in Puerto Rico. A credit against the Puerto Rico tax liability is also provided to investors that contribute cash to such exempted business for the construction or improvement of its physical facilities and the purchase of machinery and equipment. The amount of the credit is equal to 50% of the cash invested for such purposes, not to exceed $5,000,000 per exempted business. The maximum amounts of such credits that may be authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury for any fiscal year is $15,000,000. </R>

<R>The Commonwealth has also enacted legislation which (i) reduces the capital gains tax from 20% to 10% in the case of individuals and estates and trusts, and from 25% to 12.5% in the case of corporations and partnerships organized under the laws of the Commonwealth or engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico, for gains from the sale of eligible Puerto Rico investments; and (ii) allows income tax credits for extraordinary investment in housing infrastructure. In addition, legislation was recently enacted that reduces the tax payable on interest on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and partnerships to 10% under certain circumstances.</R>

<R>In addition, legislation has been enacted: (i) amending the 1998 Tax Incentives Act to provide special income tax rates ranging from 0% to 2% to companies that establish operations in Puerto Rico in "core pioneer industries," which utilize innovative technology not previously used in Puerto Rico; (ii) granting tax credits with respect to eligible investments made in the construction or substantial rehabilitation of housing units to be rented to low income families; (iii) reducing to 7% the capital gains rate applicable to gains realized on the sale of the stock of Puerto Rico corporations sold in an initial public offering made prior to December 31, 2007, or acquired in public offerings made prior to December 31, 2007; (iv) granting income tax exemption to the fees and interest income received by financial institutions in connection with loans or guarantees of loans made to finance tourism development projects; (v) granting an exemption to qualified associations administering timesharing rights or vacation clubs and to owners' associations of areas designated as tourism enhancement districts; (vi) granting income tax exemption to financial institutions for charges collected on obligations issued for the financing of tourism projects; (vii) granting tax exemption for investments in infrastructure made by housing developers; (viii) granting tax credits to Puerto Rico businesses that acquire products manufactured in Puerto Rico for exportation; and (ix) rehabilitating urban centers through the development of housing projects, community areas, commercial areas, parks, and recreational spaces, the construction and renovation of structures, and the development of undeveloped or underdeveloped sites.</R>

<R>Acceleration and Simplification of Local Permitting Process </R>

<R>Another government initiative to promote sustainable economic activity involves the simplification of the permitting process. As part of this initiative, the Commonwealth established a multi-agency center that handles, in a coordinated manner, the permitting process. Furthermore, the government developed a procedure that will allow agencies to conduct simultaneous public hearings in those instances when two or more agencies require them. </R>

<R>Reduction of the Costs of Doing Business</R>

<R>The Commonwealth believes that, to make Puerto Rico more competitive and foster investment, it needs to reduce the cost of doing business in Puerto Rico. One of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico that is high, particularly for the manufacturing industry, relative to competing jurisdictions, is the cost of electricity. Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports for the production of electricity. As a result of the construction of two cogeneration plants, however, one of which is fueled by liquefied natural gas and the other by coal, Puerto Rico's dependence on oil imports for the production of electricity has been reduced from 99% to 74%. The Electric Power Authority now estimates that these plants could provide up to 33% of its electric energy requirements. </R>

<R>Federal Tax Incentives</R>

<R>In order to enhance the attractiveness for United States companies of establishing operations in Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth has been seeking to provide for a new and permanent tax regime applicable to U.S.-based businesses that have operations in Puerto Rico or other U.S. possessions. During the past three years, the Commonwealth has been pursuing an amendment to Section 956 of the Code that would establish a regime based on the tax rules generally applied to U.S. companies with international operations, but with certain modifications intended to promote employment in both Puerto Rico and the United States. The U.S. Congress, however, has not acted upon the proposed amendment to Section 956 of the Code. Also, due to the phase-out of Sections 30A and 936 of the Code, the U.S. Senate designated a special commission through the General Accounting Office to study the economic impact of said phase-out and to present recommendations on alternative tax incentives for U.S.-based companies operating in Puerto Rico. In the meantime, most U.S.-based companies operating under Sections 30A and 936 of the Code have converted from United States corporations to Puerto Rico or foreign corporations, thus lessening the impact of the phase-out of those sections. </R>

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

<R>Industrial Incentives Program </R>

<R>Since 1948, Puerto Rico has had various industrial incentives laws designed to stimulate industrial investment in the island. 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 the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, a law aimed at promoting investment in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are available to new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing tax exemption grant. The 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 Act 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 three semesters of operations and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from excise taxes with respect to raw materials and certain machinery and equipment used in the exempt activities. The 1998 Tax Incentives Act also provides various special deductions designed to stimulate employment and productivity, research and development, and capital investment in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, companies can repatriate or distribute their profits free of Puerto Rico dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico financial institutions, obligations of the Commonwealth, and other designated investments are fully exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual shareholders of an exempted business are allowed a credit against their Puerto Rico income taxes equal to 30% of their proportionate share of the exempted business's income tax liability. Gain from the sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders during the exemption period is subject to a 4% income tax rate.</R>

<R>Tourism Incentives Program</R>

<R>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 partial exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to 10 years. The Tourism Incentives Act also provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in tourism activities, including hotel and condo-hotel development projects. Recently enacted legislation provides further tourism incentives by granting certain tax exemptions on interest income received by financial institutions from permanent or interim financing of tourism development projects and fees derived from credit enhancements provided to the financing of such projects. </R>

<R>As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the Commonwealth established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico ("GDB") with the authority to (i) make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry and (ii) provide financial guarantees for financing hotel development projects. To date, the Fund has provided financial guarantees for loans made or bonds issued to finance the development of fifteen hotel projects representing over 3,600 new hotel rooms. </R>

<R>Incentives under the Code </R>

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

<R>The Tax Reform 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. </R>

<R>As a result of amendments to Section 936 made in 1996 (the "1996 Amendments"), the tax credit is being phased out over a ten-year period for companies that were operating in Puerto Rico in 1995 and is no longer available for corporations that establish operations in Puerto Rico after October 13, 1995. The 1996 Amendments also eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>Section 30A. The 1996 Amendments added Section 30A to the Code. Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that meets certain gross income tests 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"). The Section 30A Credit will not be available for taxable years commencing after 2005. </R>

<R>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). </R>

<R>In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the amount of possession income that qualifies for the Section 30A Credit is 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"). </R>

<R>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. </R>

<R>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: (i) 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; (ii) 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 (iii) a costplus formula, whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>The Section 936 credit is now only available to companies that were operating in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, and had elected the percentage of income credit provided by Section 936. Such percentage of income credit is equal to 40% of the federal income tax otherwise imposable on the Puerto Rico active business income or derived from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in such business. </R>

<R>In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the possession income subject to the Section 936 credit is 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 commencing after 2005. </R>

<R>Controlled Foreign Corporations </R>

<R>Because of the credit limitations and impending phase out of Sections 30A and 936, many corporations previously operating thereunder have reorganized their operations in Puerto Rico to become controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"). A CFC is a corporation that is organized outside the United States and is controlled by United States shareholders. In general, a CFC may defer the payment of federal income taxes on its trade or business income until such income is repatriated to the United States in the form of dividends or through investments in certain United States properties. The Puerto Rico Office of Industrial Tax Exemption has received notification from over eighty corporations that have converted part or all of their operations to CFCs. These include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronics companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those applicable to corporations operating under Sections 936 and 30A. In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a larger share of this income to their Puerto Rico operation but must make a royalty payment "commensurate with income" to their U.S. affiliates. Section 936 Corporations were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost-sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 10% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments. </R>

<R>Public Sector Debt </R>

<R>Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations ("notes" as used in this section refers to certain types of non-bonded debt regardless of maturity), subject to the exclusions described below. The Constitution of Puerto Rico limits the amount of general obligation (full faith and credit) debt that can be issued or guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth's policy has been and continues to be to maintain the amount of such debt prudently below the constitutional limitation. 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. See Public Corporations. However, certain debt of public corporations is supported, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes. </R>

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

<R>As of June 30, 2004, total outstanding public sector debt was $33.942 billion, of which $2.175 billion, or 6.4%, comprised short-term debt.</R>

<R>Retirement Systems</R>

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

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

<R>The Teachers Retirement System covers primarily public school teachers, the Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the Commonwealth and its municipalities and instrumentalities. As of June 30, 2003, the total number of active members of the three systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 166,914; Teachers Retirement System, 49,046; and Judiciary Retirement System, 338. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees and investment income. The central government is responsible for approximately 67% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 33% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The central government is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary Retirement System and the Teachers Retirement System, respectively. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employees are determined by law. Required employers' contributions to the systems are determined by law and are not actuarially determined. For the Employees Retirement System, required employer contributions consist of 9.275% of applicable payroll in the case of municipalities, central government and public corporations. Required employee contributions for the Employees Retirement System vary according to salary and how the individual employee's retirement benefits are coordinated with social security benefits. For the Judiciary Retirement System, required contributions consist of 20% of applicable payroll for the employer and 8% for the employees. </R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System and the Judiciary Retirement System was $9.881 billion and $162.2 million, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period was $7.453 billion and $92.1 million, respectively, representing a funding ratio of 25% and 43%, respectively. This funding ratio does not take into account the reduction in the value of their respective equity portfolios resulting from the decline in the equities market since fiscal year 2001. It is estimated that as of June 30, 2003, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System is $11.292 billion and the unfunded pension benefit obligation is $9.349 billion, representing a funding ratio of 17%. </R>

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

<R>In 1990, the organic act of the Employees Retirement System was amended to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of 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. </R>

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

<R>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 (subsequently acquired by Verizon Communications Inc., "Verizon") provides that any future proceeds received by the government from the sale of its then-remaining 43% stock ownership in PRTC will be transferred to the Employees Retirement System to reduce its accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation. In January 2002, Verizon exercised its option to purchase an additional 15% of the stock of PRTC for $172 million. The proceeds of the sale were transferred to the Employees Retirement System. </R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2002, 2003, and 2004 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 was covered with a portion of the proceeds from the sale to Verizon of the 15% stock ownership in PRTC. </R>

<R>The Employees Retirement System anticipates that its future cash flow needs for disbursement of benefits to participants may exceed the sum of the employer and employee contributions received and its investment and other recurring income. The Employees Retirement System expects to cover this cash flow imbalance in the next few fiscal years with the proceeds from the sale of the remaining shares of PRTC stock. The Employees Retirement System is currently evaluating other measures to increase its revenues. </R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the accrued actuarial liability of the system was $3.684 billion and the value of assets amounted to $2.284 billion, representing a funding ratio of 62%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $1.400 billion. This funding ratio does not take into account the recent significant decline in the equities market and the resulting reduction in the value of the equity portfolio. As of June 30, 2003, the estimated annual actuarial liability was $3.921 billion, and the value of assets amounted to $2.142 billion, representing an estimated funding ratio of 55% and an estimated unfunded accrued liability of $1.779 billion. As of June 30, 2000, the remaining amortization period for the unfunded liability was 19 years. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8% per year and salary increases of 5% per year. Act No. 45 of January 27, 2000 increased the amount of the employee contribution from 7% to 9%, effective immediately. This will result in an increase of employee contributions of $1.5 million per month. </R>

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

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

<R>Resident individuals are subject to tax on their taxable income from all sources. The PR Code has five tax brackets for individuals with tax rates of 7%, 10%, 15%, 28%, and 33%. Dividend income from Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations is taxed at a rate of 10%. </R>

<R>Gain realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset by resident individuals, if held for more than six months, is taxed at a rate of 20%. It is taxed at a rate of 10% if the capital asset consists of certain property located or deemed located in Puerto Rico. Gains realized by Puerto Rico resident individuals, trusts and estates from the sale of stock of certain Puerto Rico corporations in an initial public offering made prior to January 1, 2008 are subject to a special capital gains rate of 7%. </R>

<R>On August 22, 2004, the Governor signed into law Act 226 to provide a temporary reduction in the long-term capital gains tax rate. Act 226 reduces the long-term capital gains tax rates by 50% for transactions that take place from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005, provided that the net long-term capital gain is reinvested in Puerto Rico. </R>

<R>Interest income in excess of $2,000 on deposits with Puerto Rico financial institutions is taxed at a rate of 17%; the first $2,000 of interest income from such institutions is exempt from taxation. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts, and estates qualifies for a special 10% tax rate. </R>

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

<R>The PR Code provides for six income tax brackets for corporations and partnerships, with the highest rate (39%) applicable to net taxable income in excess of $300,000. Gains realized from the sale or exchange of a capital asset, if held for more than six months, are taxed at a maximum rate of 25% or 12.5% if the capital asset consists of certain property located or deemed located in Puerto Rico sold or exchanged after December 31, 2000. Act 226 reduces the long-term capital gains tax rates by 50% for transactions that take place from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005. Dividends received by Puerto Rico corporations and partnerships of foreign corporations and partnerships engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico are subject to general income tax rates. A dividends received credit may be available. A special tax rate of 17% is applicable to dividend distributions of REITs received by corporations. Interest income on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident corporations and partnerships qualifies for a special tax rate. </R>

<R>Certain corporations and partnerships covered by the tax incentives acts continue to be subject to a maximum tax rate of 45% on their taxable income. Corporations and partnerships covered by the Puerto Rico Tourism Incentives Act of 1993, as amended, are subject to a maximum tax rate of 42% on their taxable income. The PR Code also provides for an alternative minimum tax of 22%. Corporations and partnerships operating under a new grant of tax exemption issued under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are subject to a maximum income tax rate of 7% during their basic exemption period. </R>

<R>The PR Code imposes a branch profits tax on resident foreign corporations less than 80% of whose gross income qualifies as income effectively connected with a Puerto Rico trade or business. The branch profits tax is 10% of an annual dividend equivalent amount, and it applies without regard to the Puerto Rico source-of-income rules. </R>

<R>Interest from Puerto Rico sources paid to non-resident non-affiliated corporate recipients is not subject to any income or withholding tax. Interest paid to certain related non-resident recipients is subject to a withholding tax of 29%. Dividends paid to non-resident corporate recipients are subject to a withholding tax of 10%. Dividends distributed by corporations (including Section 936 Corporations) operating under new grants of tax exemption issued under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are not subject to Puerto Rico income tax. However, royalty payments made by such corporations to non-resident recipients are subject to a 10% withholding tax. The basic tax on dividends paid to foreign corporate shareholders of Section 936 Corporations operating under grants of tax exemption issued under prior incentives laws is 10% but is subject to reduction if a percentage of the profits are invested in certain eligible instruments for specified periods of time. </R>

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

<R>The Treasury Department is presently evaluating a plan to reform the Commonwealth's tax system. The objective of this reform would be to reduce the income tax rates for individuals while expanding the tax base by taxing persons not currently participating in the income tax system and simplifying the tax system in order to make its administration more effective. The tax reform is expected to be implemented beginning on January 1, 2006. The Treasury Department expects that the tax reform will produce additional General Fund revenues. </R>

<R>Excise Taxes. The PR Code imposes a tax on articles and commodities that are imported into or manufactured in Puerto Rico for consumption in Puerto Rico and a tax on certain transactions, such as hotel occupancy, public shows, and horse racing. The excise tax on certain articles and commodities, such as cigarettes, alcohol and petroleum products, is based upon the quantity of goods imported. The excise tax on motor vehicles is based on its suggested retail price. The PR Code imposes a tax at an effective rate of 6.6% of the F.O.B. factory price for imported goods and 3.6% of the sales price of goods manufactured in Puerto Rico, except sugar, cement, cigarettes, motor vehicles, and certain petroleum products, which are taxed at different rates. Goods to be used by the government, except for motor vehicles and construction equipment, are not exempt. Exemptions apply to certain articles, such as food and medicines, and to articles designated for certain users. </R>

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

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

<R>Revenues from non-Puerto Rico sources include customs duties collected in Puerto Rico and excise taxes on shipments of rum from the island to the United States mainland. The customs duties and excise taxes on shipments are imposed and collected by the United States and returned to the Commonwealth. The excise tax on shipments of rum from Puerto Rico and other rum-producing countries is $13.50 per proof gallon. Of this amount, $13.25 per proof gallon will be returned to the Treasury of Puerto Rico until December 31, 2005, and, commencing on January 1, 2006, the amount returned will be reduced to $10.50 per proof gallon. </R>

<R>Property Taxes. Personal property, which accounts for approximately 53% of total collections of taxable property, is self-assessed. Real property taxes are assessed based on 1958 property values. No real property reassessment has been made since 1958, and construction taking place after that year has been assessed on the basis of what the value of the property would have been in 1958. Accordingly, the overall assessed valuation of real property for taxation purposes is substantially lower than the actual market value. Also, an exemption on the first $15,000 of assessed valuation in owner-occupied residences is available.</R>

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

<R>Collections of Income and Excise Taxes</R>

<R>The Department of the Treasury has continued its program for improving tax collections, which began in fiscal year 1986. The program has consisted, in part, of taking the initiative in sponsoring and implementing tax reform, particularly in the areas of excise taxes and income taxes, in order to decrease the incidences of nonpayment of taxes and to expand the taxpayer base. The program has also included (i) improving the methods by which delinquent taxpayers are identified, primarily through the use of computer analyses, (ii) computerizing the processing of tax returns, and (iii) identifying and eliminating taxpayer evasion.</R>

<R>Budget of the Commonwealth</R>

<R>The fiscal year of the Commonwealth begins each July 1. The Governor is constitutionally required to submit to the 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 the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), in coordination with the Planning Board, the Department of the Treasury, and other government offices and agencies. Section 7 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that "[t]he appropriations made for any fiscal year shall not exceed the total revenues, including available surplus, estimated for said fiscal year unless the imposition of taxes sufficient to cover said appropriations is provided by law." </R>

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

<R>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 the Governor's 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 Commonwealth to continue making payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.</R>

<R>During any fiscal year in which the resources available to the Commonwealth are insufficient to cover the appropriations approved for such year, the Governor may take administrative measures to reduce expenses and submit to both houses of the 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. </R>

<R>A Budgetary Fund was created by Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980, as amended (the "Budgetary Fund"), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, to secure the payment of public debt, and to provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public service. Currently, an amount equal to one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year is deposited annually into the Fund. In addition, other income (not classified as revenues) that is not assigned by law to a specific purpose is also required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. The maximum balance of the Budgetary Fund may not exceed 6% of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year. As of July 1, 2004, the balance in the Budgetary Fund was $126 million (this amount includes the fiscal year 2005 appropriation and excludes amounts that will be transferred out of the Budgetary Fund to cover excess expenditures during fiscal year 2004). </R>

<R>An Emergency Fund was created by Act No. 91 of June 21, 1966, as amended (the "Emergency Fund"), to cover unexpected public needs caused by calamities, such as wars, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and plagues, and to protect people's lives and property and the public sector credit. The Emergency Fund is capitalized annually with an amount totaling no less than one percent of the General Fund net revenues of the preceding fiscal year. During the fiscal year 2004 budget process, Act No. 91 was amended to set an upper limit to the Emergency Fund of $150 million at the beginning of the fiscal year. As of July 1, 2004, the balance in the Emergency Fund was $154.8 million, including fiscal year 2005 appropriations. </R>

<R>Appropriations </R>

<R>In Puerto Rico, the central government has many functions that in the fifty states are the responsibility of local government, such as providing public education and police and fire protection. The central government provides significant annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority ("PRASA"), and to the municipalities. The grants to the University of Puerto Rico are included in current expenses for education and debt service on general obligation bonds is included in current expenses for debt service. Debt service on Sugar Corporation notes paid by the Commonwealth is included in current expenses for economic development, and debt service on Urban Renewal and Housing Corporation bonds and notes and on Housing Finance Authority mortgage subsidy bonds paid by the Commonwealth is included in current expenses for housing.</R>

<R>Approximately 27.9% of the General Fund is committed for payment of fixed charges such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, contributions to the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, funding for the judiciary branch, rental payments to the Public Buildings Authority, among others, and debt service on direct debt of the Commonwealth. In the case of the judiciary branch, legislation approved in December of 2002 provides that, commencing with fiscal year 2004, the Commonwealth will appropriate annually to the judiciary branch an amount initially equal to 3.3% of the average annual revenue from internal sources for each of the two preceding fiscal years. This percentage will increase until it reaches 4% in fiscal year 2008, and may be further increased upon review, with scheduled reviews every five years. </R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2004</R>

<R>The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2004 totaled $23.782 billion. Of this amount, $13.577 billion was assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $8.295 billion, which represents an increase of $452 million, or 5.8%, over budgeted amounts for fiscal year 2003. These total resources include $7.925 billion of total revenues and $370 million of other sources. </R>

<R>In the fiscal year 2004 budget, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds totaled $12.689 billion, excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The net increase in General Fund revenues in the fiscal year 2004 budget, as compared to fiscal year 2003, was accounted mainly by increases in corporate income taxes (up $49 million), personal income taxes (up $48 million), excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (up $44 million), income taxes withheld from non-residents (up $43 million), federal excise taxes on offshore shipments (up $20 million), excise taxes on alcoholic beverages (up $14 million), and excise taxes on cigarettes (up $10 million), and decreases in customs duties (down $6 million) and tollgate taxes (down $23 million). </R>

<R>Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds for fiscal year 2004 totaled $13.176 billion, an increase of $754.4 million from fiscal year 2003. The major changes in General Fund budgeted expenditures by program in fiscal year 2004 were increases in health (up $127.4 million), education (up $107.2 million), debt service on the Commonwealth's general obligation and guaranteed debt (up $10.6 million), general government (up $63.3 million), other debt service consisting primarily of Commonwealth appropriation debt (up $63.2 million), special pension contributions (up $56.6 million), contributions to municipalities (up $7.8 million), transportation and communications (up $7.6 million), public safety and protection (up $7.5 million), welfare (up $2.9 million), and housing (up $2.2 million), and a decrease in economic development (down $3.9 million). </R>

<R>Preliminary General Fund net revenues for fiscal year 2004 were $7.985 billion, exceeding the original General Fund budget by $60.4 million. General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2004 are estimated at $8.593 billion, exceeding the original General Fund budget by $298 million. The higher expenditures occurred in the areas of education, public safety and protection and health. The government expects to cover such shortfalls with expected reimbursements of certain federal funds relating to education, funds previously encumbered but not expended and by transferring funds from the Budgetary Fund. </R>

<R>The general obligation bond authorization for the fiscal year 2004 budget was $540 million. </R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2005 </R>

<R>The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2005 totals $24.652 billion. Of this amount, $13.908 billion is assigned to the central government. This amount includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $8.859 billion, which represents an increase of $564million, or 6.8%, over budgeted amounts for fiscal year 2004. These total resources include $8.309 billion of total revenues and $550 million of additional resources relating to a loan to be obtained from GDB secured by tax receivables. The budget for fiscal year 2005 was approved on July 1, 2004. </R>

<R>The net increase in General Fund revenues in the fiscal year 2005 budget, as compared to the fiscal year 2004 budgeted revenues, are accounted mainly by corporation income taxes (up $109 million), general 5% excise taxes (up $55 million), personal income taxes (up $49 million), excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (up $17 million), federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (up $20 million), and customs duties (up $10 million), and decreases in excise taxes on cigarettes (down $9 million) and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages (down $9 million). </R>

<R>Current expenses and capital improvements of all funds for fiscal year 2005 total $13.909 billion, an increase of $732.8 million from fiscal year 2004. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2005 are increases in education (up $283.9 million), public safety and protection (up $162.2 million), special pension contributions (up $52 million), welfare (up $36.2 million), health (up $29.6 million), economic development (up $15.3 million), transportation and communications (up $8.6 million), contributions to municipalities (up $5.7 million), and housing (up $1.7 million), and decreases in other debt service consisting primarily of Commonwealth appropriation debt (down $8.8 million) and general government (down $50.0 million). </R>

<R>The general obligation bond authorization for the approved fiscal year 2005 budget is $550 million. </R>

One of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico that is high, particularly for the manufacturing industry, relative to competing jurisdictions, is the cost of electricity. Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports for the production of electricity. As a result of the construction of two cogeneration plants, however, one of which is fueled by liquefied natural gas and the other by coal, Puerto Rico's dependence on oil imports for the production of electricity has been reduced from 99% to 72%. PREPA now estimates that these plants could provide up to 33% of its electric energy requirements. In addition, PREPA has commenced a hedging program with respect to a portion (about 8%) of its oil supplies to lessen the impact of the volatility of oil prices on the cost of electricity.

Federal Legislative Proposals. In order to enhance the attractiveness for United States companies of establishing operations in Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth government is seeking to amend Section 956 of the Code to provide for a new and permanent tax regime applicable to U.S. based businesses that have operations in the Commonwealth or other U.S. possessions. This proposed regime is based on the tax rules generally applied to U.S. corporations with international operations, but with certain modifications intended to promote employment in both the Commonwealth and the United States.

The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal year 2003 averaged 1,212,000. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical levels, remains above the United States average. The average unemployment rate decreased from 13.6% in fiscal year 1998 to 12.1% in fiscal year 2003.

Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. During the period between fiscal year 1998 and 2002, 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 in terms of gross domestic product. The Planning Board estimates that in fiscal year 2002 manufacturing generated $30.0 billion or 42.2% of gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2003 payroll employment for the manufacturing sector was 118,400 a decrease of 2.6% compared with 2002, with most of the job losses occurring in labor intensive industries. 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 and includes several industries less prone to business cycles. In the last three decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift in emphasis is best exemplified by heavy investment over the last decade in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, computers, and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico. One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing sector has been the tax incentives offered by the federal and Puerto Rico governments. Federal legislation enacted in 1996, which amended Section 936 of the United States Internal revenue Code of 1986, as amended, phases out the federal tax incentives during a ten-year period.

While total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 19,822 from March 1998 to March 2002, other indicators of the manufacturing sector suggest that manufacturing production increased. Average weekly hours worked increased 2.5% from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 2002. 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, textiles, tuna canning, and leather products.

Puerto Rico has experienced significant growth in the services sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, tourism and other services, in terms of both income and employment, over the past decade, showing a favorable trend as compared with certain other industrialized economies. During the period between fiscal year 1998 and fiscal year 2002, the gross domestic product in this sector increased at an annual average rate of 7.1%, while employment increased at an annual average rate of 2.2%. The development of the services sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base.

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. The services sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and is the sector with the greatest employment. In fiscal year 2002, services generated $27.2 billion of gross domestic product, or 38.2% of the total. Service employment grew from 444,000 in fiscal year 1998 to 484,000 in fiscal year 2002 (representing 48.4% of total employment). This represents a cumulative increase of 8.9%, which exceed the 0.9% cumulative growth in total employment over the same period. Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate have experienced significant growth in the fiscal year 1998 to 2002 period, as measured by gross domestic product. Gross domestic product in wholesale and retail trade increased from $7.3 billion in fiscal year 1998 to $8.7 billion in fiscal year 2002. In finance, insurance, and real estate, gross domestic product increased from $7.3 billion in fiscal year 1998 to $11.3 billion in fiscal year 2002. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico. Total assets of these institutions as of December 31, 2002 were $90.5 billion. As of December 31, 2002, there were thirty five international banking entities operating in the Commonwealth licensed to conduct offshore banking transactions with total assets of $50.5 billion.

Total visitors' expenditures accounted for 5.5% of the island's gross domestic product in fiscal year 2002, compared to 3.9% in fiscal year 2001. Visitors' expenditures and the number of visitors to the island had grown consistently from 1985 to 1998. In fiscal year 1999, however, the number of visitors to the island decreased, due in part to the effect of Hurricane Georges, which struck the island in September 1998. During fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the number of visitors to the island increased to 4.6 million and 4.9 million, respectively, and visitors' expenditures increased to $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. In fiscal year 2002, in the aftermath of the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, the number of visitors of the island decreased to 4.4 million, visitors' expenditures decreased to $2.5 billion and the number of persons registered in tourist hotels decreased 3.4%. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2002 was 64.3% compared to 70.0% in fiscal year 2001. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels decreased 4.9% during fiscal year 2002 compared with fiscal year 2001.

During fiscal year 2003 the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,734,800 an increase of 8.6% over the number registered in fiscal year 2002. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2003 was 67.9% compared to 64.4% in fiscal year 2002. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased 3.2% during fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002, representing openings of new hotels and hotel expansions. During fiscal year 2003, hotels comprising 870 new hotel rooms have opened and, as of August 2003, several hotels, representing more than 2,000 additional rooms, are under various stages of development or construction.

San Juan has become the largest home port for cruise ships in the Caribbean and the fourth largest home port for cruise ships in the world.

The government sector of Puerto Rico plays an important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 2002, the government accounted for $6.3 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 8.9% of the total, and provided 278,000 jobs or 27.8% of the total non-farm payroll 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, but excluding the federal government) share of non-farm payroll employment, measured according to the payroll survey, has diminished from 34.9% in fiscal year 1980, to 33.6% in fiscal year 1990, to 26.4% in fiscal year 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.

Thirty-four shipping lines offer regular ocean freight service to eighty United States and foreign ports. San Juan is the island's leading seaport, but there are also seaport facilities at other locations on the island including Arecibo, Culebra, Fajardo, Guayama, Guayanilla, Mayagüez, Ponce, Vieques and Yabucoa.

Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is currently served by twenty-six United States and international airlines. At present, there is daily direct service between San Juan and Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Philadelphia and numerous other destinations within the United States. There is also regularly scheduled service between Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands and certain Latin American and European cities. A major United States airline uses San Juan as a hub for its intra-Caribbean airline service. Several smaller airports serve intra-island traffic.

The island's major cities are connected by a modern highway system, which, as of December 31, 2002, totaled approximately 4,589 miles. The highway system comprises 379 miles of primary system highways, 229 miles of primary urban system highways, 954 miles of secondary system highways and 3,027 miles of tertiary highways and roads.The Commonwealth is conducting a request for proposal process to select a private company to develop, construct and operate a world-class transshipment facility on the south coast of Puerto Rico, to be called the Port of the Americas. This state-of-the-art facility will handle Post-Panamax vessels with a capacity of more than 6,000 TEU's (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit cargo trailers). The Port of the Americas Authority, created by legislation, will select and negotiate with the developer and operator of the project. GDB has provided a $10 million line of credit earmarked for the initial environmental and feasibility studies. Construction is expected to begin in 2004, and partial operation of the Port of the Americas could begin as early as 2006.

The construction industry has experienced substantial real growth since fiscal year 1987. During the period from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2002 construction investment increased 27.5%. The total value of construction permits increased 63.9% over the same five-year period. The strength of public investment has been an important component in the significant expansion of construction investment. During fiscal year 2002, approximately 36.7% of the total investment in construction was related to public projects. In fiscal year 2002, the average payroll employment in the construction sector was 69,243.

During fiscal year 2003, the total value of construction permits increased 22%, compared with the same period in fiscal year 2002. Total sales of cement, including imports, increased 1.3% during fiscal year 2003 in comparison with the same period of fiscal year 2002. The average payroll employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2003 was 65,620, a decrease of 5.2% from fiscal year 2002.

For fiscal year 2004, approximately $4.0 billion is expected to be invested in public improvements. Public investment will be primarily in housing, new schools (and school reconstruction programs), water projects and other infrastructure projects to be undertaken by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA"), the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority ("PRHTA"), the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority, the Puerto Rico Special Communities Perpetual Trust, and the University of Puerto Rico.

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 year 2002, gross income from agriculture was $724.1 million, an increase of 1.2% in comparison with fiscal year 2001. 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 non-traditional crops, livestock and poultry 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.

Policy changes have been implemented to promote employment and income generated by the agricultural sector. The policy initiatives include restructuring the Department of Agriculture, an increase in government purchases of local agricultural products, and a new system of agricultural credits and subsidies for new projects.

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

Since 1948, Puerto Rico has had various industrial incentive laws designed to stimulate industrial investment in the island. 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 the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, a new industrial incentives law aimed at attracting and retaining foreign investment in Puerto Rico.

The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are available to new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing tax exemption grant. 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 Act 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 Act 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 Act, companies are able to repatriate or distribute their profits free of Puerto Rico dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico's 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. The Tourism Incentives Act also provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in hotel development projects. Recently enacted legislation provides further tourism incentives by granting certain tax exemptions on interest income received from permanent or interim financing of tourism development projects and fees derived from credit enhancements provided to the financing of such projects.

As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the Commonwealth established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of GDB with the authority to (i) make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry and (ii) provide financial guarantees 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 fifteen hotel projects representing approximately 3,600 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, under Section 931 of the Code, U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico (and meeting certain source of income tests) were taxed only on income arising from sources within the United States. 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. 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 companies that were operating in Puerto Rico in 1995 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 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"). The Section 30A Credit will not be available for taxable years commencing after 2005.

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).

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 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.

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: (i) 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; (ii) 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 (iii) a cost-plus formula, whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. The Section 936 credit is now only available to companies that were operating in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, and had elected the percentage of income credit provided by Section 936. Such percentage of income credit is equal to 40% of the federal income tax otherwise imposable on the Puerto Rico active business income or derived from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in such business.

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 commencing after 2005.

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"). A CFCs is a corporation which is organized outside the United States and is controlled by United States shareholders. In general, a CFCs may defer the payment of federal income taxes on its trade or business income until such income is repatriated to the United States in the form of dividends or through investments in certain United States properties. The Puerto Rico Office of Tax Exemption has received notification of over eighty 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. The recent increase in Puerto Rico revenues attributable to withholding taxes on royalty payments suggests that a significant share of the net income previously reported by corporations operating under the profit split method of Section 936 has been transferred to CFCs.

One of the elements of the Commonwealth's new economic development plan involves amending the Code to provide a new tax regime applicable to U.S.-based businesses that have operations in Puerto Rico or other United States possessions. A proposal to amend the Code in this regard put forth by the Governor of Puerto Rico would amend the Code as follows: (i) Sections 30A and 936 would be allowed to expire according to their terms; (ii) Section 956 would be amended to exclude from current U.S. tax 90% of the otherwise taxable investments in certain U.S. property made by a "Qualified CFC" out of its "Qualified Income"; (iii) as an alternative to the Section 956 exclusion, Section 245 would be amended to allow an 85% dividends received deduction with respect to dividends paid out of Qualified Income by the Qualified CFC; and (iv) the investments in U.S. properties by the Qualified CFC out of its Qualified Income will not be subject to the imputation of interest nor to treatment as a constructive dividend.

A "Qualified Possession CFC" would be defined under the Code as a controlled foreign corporation, incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth or a United States possession. "Qualified Income" would be limited to that portion of the CFC's foreign source income that is derived from the active conduct by the CFC of a trade or business in Puerto Rico (or a possession of the United States) 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 of the Code into income eligible for deferral by the investment of such amounts in U.S. property pursuant to the proposed amendment to Section 956.

It is not possible at this time to determine whether the proposal will be enacted into law or whatever amendments, if any, may be made to it.

Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations. The Constitution of the Commonwealth limits the amount of general obligation (full faith and credit) debt that can be issued or guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth's policy has been and continues to be to maintain the amount of such debt prudently below the constitutional limitation. 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. In each case, Government Development Bank, as fiscal agent of the Commonwealth and its municipalities and public corporations, must approve the specific terms of each issuance. At June 30, 2003, the Commonwealth had direct debt of $6,886,176,000; municipal debt of $1,995,145,000; and public corporation debt of $21,939,880,000 of which $614,218,000 is guaranteed by the Commonwealth and $14,449,840,000 is supported by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes.

The total public sector debt at June 30, 2003 does not take into account the issuance after such date of certain general purpose revenue bonds, refunding revenue bonds, public improvements bonds, tax revenue anticipation notes, special obligations bonds and capital fund program bonds, by the Commonwealth and public corporations in the principal aggregate amount of $2,833,375,159, principal repayments and redemptions, and additional borrowings under lines of credit provided by GDB. Excluded from the total public sector debt is debt not primarily payable from either Commonwealth or municipal taxes, Commonwealth appropriations or rates charged by public corporations for services or products. Also excluded from the total public sector debt is debt issued by GDB and its affiliates to purchase certain Commonwealth public sector debt and to finance the purchase of bonds of Puerto Rico municipalities, respectively, the inclusion of which would reflect double counting.

During fiscal years 1999 and 2000 public sector debt increased 1.6% and 5.0% respectively, while gross product of Puerto Rico increased 9.0% and 8.2% respectively for such years. During fiscal years 2001 and 2002 public sector debt increased by 10.4% and 10.5% respectively, compared to a 6.7% and 2.3% increase respectively in gross product of Puerto Rico for such years.

As of June 30, 2003, outstanding short-term debt, relative to total debt, was 5.2%.

Public employees of the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: The Employees Retirements System of the Government of Puerto Rico and its Instrumentalities (the "Employees Retirement System"), the Annuity and Pension System for the Teachers of Puerto Rico (the "Teachers 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 Teachers Retirement System covers primarily public school teachers, 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, 2001, the total number of active members of the three systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 156,009; Teachers Retirement System, 46,640, and Judiciary Retirement System, 357. The three 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 67% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 33% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The government of Puerto Rico is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employees are determined by statute. Required contributions to the systems by employers are determined by statute with respect to the Teachers Retirement System and, with respect to the Employees and Judiciary Retirement Systems, by the Administrators of the 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, 2001, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System and the Judiciary Retirement System was $9,881,481,000 and $162,186,168, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period was $7,452,817,000 and $92,103,168, respectively representing a funding ratio of 25% and 43%, respectively. This funding ratio does not take into account the recent significant decline in the equities market and the resulting reduction in the value of the equity portfolio.

The most recent 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. In the case of Employees Retirement Systems, Act No. 10 of May 21, 1992 provided three benefit increases of 3% each. The first 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date. The second 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1995. This increase is being financed by additional contributions from the employers. The third 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1998. This third increase is being partially funded with additional contributions from some of the employers. On June 13, 2001, the Legislature approved a law providing another 3% increase, effective as of January 1, 2001, in post-retirement annuity payments granted on or prior to January 1, 1998. Subsequent increase will depend upon the explicit approval of the System's Board of Trustees and the Legislature of Puerto Rico. In the case of the Judiciary Retirement System, Act No. 41 of June 13, 2001 provides a 3% increase in annuity payments, commencing on January 1, 2002 and every three years thereafter, to retirees who have been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date.

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.

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 (subsequently acquired by Verizon Communications Inc., "Verizon") 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. In January 2002, Verizon exercised its option to purchase and purchased an additional 15% of the stock of PRTC for $172 million. The proceeds of the sale were deposited into the Employees Retirement System.

The Employee Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal year 2002 and 2003 exceeded contributions and investments income for such years. This cash shortfall was covered with a portion of the proceeds from the sale to Verizon of the 15% stock ownership in PRTC. The Employees Retirement System anticipates that its future cash flow needs for disbursements of benefits to participants may exceed the sum of the employer and employee contributions received and its investment and other recurring income. The Employees Retirement System expects to cover this cash flow imbalance in the next few fiscal years with the proceeds from the sale of its remaining shares of PRTC stock. The Employees Retirement System is currently evaluating other measures to increase its revenues.

According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the accrued actuarial liability of the system was $3.684 billion and the value of assets amounted to $2.84 billion, representing a funding ratio of 62%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $1.40 billion. This funding ratio does not take into account the recent significant decline in the equities market and the resulting reduction in the value of the equity portfolios. As of June 30, 2000, the remaining amortization period for the unfunded liability is 19 years. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8% per year and salary increase of 5% per year. Act No. 43 of January 27, 2000 increased the amount of the employee contribution from 7% to 9%, effective immediately. This will result in an increase of employee contributions of $1.5 million.

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, 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. As of July 1, 2003, after considering adjustments made at the end of fiscal year 2003, the balance of the Budgetary Fund was $115 million.

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, Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority ("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 Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority mortgage subsidy bonds paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for housing.

Approximately 30% of the General Fund is committed for payment of fixed changes such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, contributions to PRASA, funding for the judiciary branch and rental payments to Public Building Authority, among others, including debt service on direct debt of the Commonwealth. In the case of the judiciary branch, legislation approved in December 2002 provides that, commencing on fiscal year 2004, the Commonwealth will appropriate annually to the judiciary branch an amount initially equal to 3.3% of the average annual revenue from internal sources for each of the two preceding fiscal years. This percentage will increase until it reaches 4% in fiscal year 2008, and may be further increased upon review, with scheduled reviews every five years.

The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2004 totaled $23.354 billion. Of this amount, $13.270 billion is assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $8.265 billion, which represents an increase of $422 million, or 5.4% over budgeted amounts for fiscal year 2003. These total resources include $7.925 billion of total revenues and $340 million of other sources.

In the fiscal year 2004 budget, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds total $12,609,829,000 excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The estimated net increase in General Fund revenues in fiscal year 2004 is accounted for by increases in personal income taxes (up $48,322,000), excise taxes on alcoholic beverages (up $13,418,000), corporation income taxes (up $61,015,000), general 5% excise taxes (up $50,291,000), excise taxes on cigarettes (up $9,513,000), excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (up $43,748,000), electronic lottery (up $26,000,000), Federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (up $20,042,000), income tax withheld from non-residents (up $42,859,000) and decreases in customs (down $5,918,000) and tollgate taxes (down $23,321,000).

Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $13,270,074,000, an increase of $669,281,000 from fiscal year 2003. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2004 are: increases in education (up $116,054,000), health (up $86,840,000), public safety and protection (up $2,452,000), debt service on Commonwealth's general obligations and guaranteed debt (up $76,013,000), other debt service consisting principally of Commonwealth appropriation debt (up $63,193,000), special pension contributions (up $62,451,000), general government (up $2,452,000), housing (up $1,652,000), and transportation and communications (up $4,687,000) and decreases in economic development (down $4,566,000), welfare (down $755,000), contributions to municipalities (down $859,000), and other debts (down $59,911,000).

The general obligation bond authorization for the fiscal year 2004 budget is $540,000,000.

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 compensation paid; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services 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 receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system.

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

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

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers (who are not affiliates of FMR) 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 compensation paid is 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 compensation or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund may receive compensation that is in excess of the amount of compensation 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 compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is 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 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' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR does not allocate trades to NFS in exchange for brokerage and research products and services of the type sometimes known as "soft dollars." FMR trades with its affiliated brokers on an execution-only basis.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the compensation 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 compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 22% and 24%, respectively.</R>

<R>A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. </R>

<R>For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the fund paid no brokerage commissions.</R>

<R></R>

<R></R>

<R></R>

<R>During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services.</R>

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[s] 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 compensation paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. 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 participate, or continue to participate, in the commission recapture program.

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

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. 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

Each class's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each class is computed by adding the class's pro rata share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting the class's pro rata share of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the class, and dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are 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.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

All Classes

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 class'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 at ordinary income tax rates, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

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

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

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>New York Tax Matters. Individual shareholders of the fund will not be required to include in their adjusted gross income for New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes any portion of distributions received from the fund that are derived from or attributable to (i) interest income on obligations of New York State or any political subdivision thereof (including New York City) or of a possession or territory of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, provided that at least 50 percent of the value of the fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consist of obligations the interest on which is tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes and such income is not otherwise properly includible in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross income, (ii) interest income on obligations of the United States and its possessions even if includible in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross income, provided that at least 50 percent of the value of the fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consists of obligations of the United States and its possessions and the fund provides a timely written notice of designation to shareholders, or (iii) interest income on obligations of any authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States to the extent federal law exempts such income from state income taxation, provided that at least 50 percent of the value of the fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consists of obligations of the United States and its possessions and the fund provides a timely written notice of designation to shareholders. Distributions from the fund that are derived from or attributable to sources other than those described in the preceding sentence, including interest on obligations of other states and their political subdivisions (unless the obligation is created by a compact or an agreement to which New York State is a party) will generally be taxable to individual shareholders as ordinary income for New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes.</R>

<R>Shareholders of the fund that are subject to the New York State corporation franchise tax or the New York City general corporation tax will be required to include exempt-interest dividends paid by the fund in their "entire net income" for purposes of such taxes and will be required to include their investment in shares of the fund in their investment capital for purposes of such taxes.</R>

<R>If a shareholder is subject to unincorporated business taxation by New York City, income and gains distributed by the fund generally will be subject to such taxation, except to the extent such distributions are derived exclusively from interest income on obligations of New York State or any political subdivision thereof (including New York City) and are not properly includible in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross income. However, shareholders of the fund generally will not be subject to the unincorporated business tax imposed by New York City solely by reason of their ownership of shares of the fund.</R>

<R>Shares of the fund will not be subject to property taxes imposed by New York State or New York City.</R>

<R>Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of the fund generally will not be deductible for New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes.</R>

<R>Interest income earned by the fund that is distributed to its shareholders generally will not be taxable to the fund for purposes of the New York State corporation franchise tax or the New York City general corporation tax.</R>

<R>Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to New York personal income tax.</R>

<R>The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the provisions of the tax laws of New York State and New York City presently in effect as they directly govern the taxation of shareholders of the fund. These provisions are subject to change by legislative or administrative action, and any such change maybe retroactive with respect to the fund's transactions. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisers for more detailed information concerning New York State and New York City matters.</R>

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

<R></R>

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

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

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below.

<R>Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the Fidelity funds and their shareholders. The committees facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 10 standing committees. The members of each committee are non-interested Trustees.</R>

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the 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 proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the committee held 12 meetings.</R>

<R>The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair. 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 and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies relating to, 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 January 31, 2005, the committee held four meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Mr. Lautenbach (Chair), Ms. Small, and Mr. Stavropoulos), the Fixed-Income and International Committee (composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair) and Messrs. Dirks and Gates), and the Select and Special Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chair) , Heilmeier, and Wolfe). Each committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee develops an understanding of and reviews the investment objectives, policies, and practices of each fund under its oversight. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters, the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund and all other matters bearing on each fund's investment results. The Fixed-Income and International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research. The Select and Special Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The members of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the non-interested Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, each Fund Oversight Committee held 11 meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Mr. Lautenbach (Chair), Ms. Knowles and Mr. McCoy) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair) and Messrs. Dirks and Gates). Each committee ordinarily meets monthly during the first six months of each year and more frequently as necessary to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the non-interested Trustees in their consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, investment advisers) and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee will be responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income funds. The Equity Contract Committee will be responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, the investment performance of the investment adviser, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the cost of the services to be provided and the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive or will derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the funds grow and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors; considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers information comparing the services to be rendered and the amount to be paid under the funds' contracts with those under other investment advisory contracts entered into with FMR and its affiliates and other investment advisers, such as contracts with other registered investment companies or other types of clients; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of non-interested Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the Equity Contract Committee held three meetings and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee held two meetings.</R>

<R>The Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee is composed of Messrs. Stavropoulos (Chair), Dirks, and Lautenbach, and Ms. Small. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees and fees, including direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as bookkeeping and custodial fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services. Regarding brokerage, 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, commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses, and policies and procedures designed to assure that any allocation of portfolio transactions is not influenced by the sale of Fidelity fund shares. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, 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 (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees, and other means by which intermediaries are compensated for selling fund shares or providing shareholder servicing, including revenue sharing. The committee also considers issues bearing on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds, policies and procedures regarding frequent purchase of Fidelity fund shares, and selective disclosure of portfolio holdings. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee held 12 meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair), and Messrs. Gates, Heilmeier, McCoy, and Wolfe). All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR Corp., and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR Corp. their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR Corp. (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. The committee also plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's compliance with its name test and investment restrictions, the code of ethics relating to personal securities transactions, the code of ethics applicable to certain senior officers of the Fidelity funds, and anti-money laundering requirements. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the committee held 33 meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chair), Gates, Lautenbach, and Stavropoulos. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It reviews 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 necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to non-interested Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with non-interested Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the Fidelity funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of non-interested Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of non-interested Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify non-interested Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the Fidelity funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as a non-interested Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with non-interested Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting non-interested Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective non-interested Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as a non-interested Trustee. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, the committee held 14 meetings.</R>

^A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2004 for 303 funds of 58 trusts in the fund 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, 2004, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $132,875; Ralph F. Cox, $132,875; Robert M. Gates, $132,875; George H. Heilmeier, $132,875; Donald J. Kirk, $132,875; Marie L. Knowles, $144,125; Ned C. Lautenbach, $132,875; Marvin L. Mann, $177,875; William O. McCoy, $132,875; and William S. Stavropoulos, $132,875. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $42,086.25; Ralph F. Cox, $42,086.25; Ned C. Lautenbach, $51,358.45; and William O. McCoy, $91,858.45.

^B Compensation figures include cash and may include amounts deferred at Mr. McCoy's election under a deferred compensation plan adopted by the other open-end registered investment companies in the fund complex (Other Open-End Funds). Pursuant to the deferred compensation plan, Mr. McCoy, as a non-interested Trustee, may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his annual fees. Amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan are credited to an account established for Mr. McCoy on the books of the Other Open-End Funds. Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2004, Mr. McCoy voluntarily elected to defer $40,500.

<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>

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.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA) and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). 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.

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

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

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

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

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

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund or each class thereof, as applicable, 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 bears these costs. 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.

<R>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 $910 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for January 2005 - was 0.1243%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $910 billion.</R>

<R>The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.2500%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for January 2005, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:</R>

<R>Group Fee Rate</R>		<R>Individual Fund Fee Rate</R>		<R>Management Fee Rate</R>
<R>0.1243%</R>	<R>+</R>	<R>0.2500%</R>	<R>=</R>	<R>0.3743%</R>

One-twelfth of the 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.

<R>For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the fund paid FMR management fees of $5,276,000, $5,680,000, and $5,461,000, respectively.</R>

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

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

<R></R>

<R></R>

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

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR 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.

<R>On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, FMR paid FIMM fees of $2,639,000, $2,839,000, and $2,730,000, respectively.</R>

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of the fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM pays FIIA an amount based on the fund's net assets relative to the assets of other registered investment companies with which FMR or FIMM has management contracts. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L an amount equal to the administrative costs incurred in providing investment advice and research services for a fund.

For the past three fiscal years, no fees were paid to FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L for providing investment advice and research services pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements.

Mark Sommer is the portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of January 31, 2005, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a base salary, a bonus and, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.

The portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus for the fund that is linked to the fund's pre-tax investment performance is measured against the Lehman Brothers New York 4+ Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager's bonus is based on several components calculated separately over his tenure over a measurement period that eventually encompasses a period of up to three years. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. A subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR Corp., FMR's parent company. FMR Corp. is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage and retirement services.

The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to realign the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the fund. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the fund may outperform the securities selected for the fund. The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the fund's code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

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.

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 for research and brokerage services, and the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, (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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage 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.

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 and reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be approved.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

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

I. General Principles

A. Except as set forth herein, portfolio securities should generally be voted in favor of incumbent directors and in favor of routine management proposals. In general, FMR will oppose shareholder proposals that do not appear reasonably likely to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value.

B. Non-routine proposals covered by the following guidelines should generally be voted in accordance with the guidelines.

C. Non-routine proposals not covered by the following guidelines or other special circumstances should be evaluated by the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, subject to review by the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp. A significant pattern of such non-routine proposals or other special circumstances should be referred to the Operations Committee or its designee.

II. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against anti-takeover proposals, including:

A. Fair Price Amendments, except those that consider only a two year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.

B. Classified Boards. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to declassify a board of directors. FMR will consider voting against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.

C. Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.

D. Golden Parachutes:

1. Accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination.

2. Compensation contracts for outside directors.

3. Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment.

4. Adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in our withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

E. Supermajority Provisions.

F. Poison Pills:

1. Introduction of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors. In addition, extension of an existing Poison Pill or the adoption of a new Poison Pill without shareholder approval upon the expiration of an existing Pill will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

2. FMR will consider not withholding its authority on the election of directors if (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than 5 years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill. In addition, the Funds will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, the Funds would withhold their vote from the election of directors at that next meeting.

3. FMR will generally withhold authority on the election of directors if a company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend a Poison Pill Plan to allow the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine not to withhold authority on the election of directors if a company's Poison Pill Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

4. Portfolio shares will be voted for shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.

5. If shareholders are requested to approve adoption of a Poison Pill plan, the Funds will, in general, consider voting in favor of the Poison Pill plan if: (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is determined to be linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is generally not longer than 5 years; (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate an expired Pill; (e) the Pill contains a provision suspending its application, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer, made for all outstanding shares; and (f) the Pill allows the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine to vote in favor of a company's Poison Pill Plan if the Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

G. Elimination of, or limitation on, shareholder rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).

H. Transfer of authority from shareholders to directors.

I. Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by anti-takeover provisions).

III. Stock Option Plans

A. Stock Option plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against Stock Option Plan adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

1. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

2. The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus.

3. The Board may, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan.

4. The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, the plan is administered by a compensation committee not comprised entirely of non-employee directors or the plan is administered by a board of directors not comprised of a majority of non-employee directors, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

5. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines 2, 3 and 4 immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

a. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

b. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

6. The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the Board/Committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past 2 years. However, option repricing may be acceptable if all of the following conditions, as specified by the plan's express terms, or board resolution, are met:

a. The repricing is authorized by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors to fulfill a legitimate corporate purpose such as retention of a key employee;

b. The repricing is rarely used and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control; and

c. The repricing is limited to no more than 5% (large capitalization company) or 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares currently authorized for grant under the plan.

7. Furthermore, if a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors determines that options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, that no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and that such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting, then the company may reprice options in an amount not to exceed an additional 5% or 10%, as applicable, if such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting.

8. For purposes of this Guideline III, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

B. FMR will generally withhold its authority on the election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

C. Proposals to reprice outstanding stock options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to reprice outstanding options based upon whether the proposed repricing is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes and;

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

IV. Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against RSA adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

A. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

B. The Board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.

C. The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

D. The restriction period is less than 3 years. RSAs with a restriction period of less than 3 years but at least 1 year are acceptable if the RSA is performance based.

E. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines B, C and D immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

1. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

2. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

F. For purposes of this Guideline IV, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

G. Proposals to grant restricted stock in exchange for options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to grant restricted stock awards in exchange for options based upon whether the proposed exchange is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be exchanged exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable stock award pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a restricted stock award exchange proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

V. Other Stock-Related Plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis:

A. Omnibus Stock Plans - vote against entire plan if one or more component violates any of the criteria in parts III or IV above, except if the component is de minimus. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in Guidelines III and IV will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.

B. Employee Stock Purchase Plans - vote against if the plan violates any of the criteria in parts III and IV above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the research or recommendations of the relevant proxy research or corporate governance services, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.

C. Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) - generally vote against unless they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.

VI. Unusual Increases in Common Stock:

A. An increase of up to 3 times outstanding and scheduled to be issued, including stock options, is acceptable; any increase in excess of 3 times would be voted against except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase of 5 times is, in general, acceptable.

B. Measured as follows: requested increased authorization plus stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill divided by current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority). (If the result is greater than 3, Portfolio shares should be voted against.)

VII. Portfolio shares should, in general, be voted against the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.

VIII. With regard to Cumulative Voting Rights, Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of introduction or against elimination on a case-by-case basis where this is determined to enhance Portfolio interests as minority shareholders.

IX. Greenmail - Portfolio shares should be voted for anti-greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions.

X. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of charter by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors and/or limiting their liability for Breaches of Care.

A. Portfolio shares should be voted against such proposals if FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by anti-takeover measures.

XI. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.

XII. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.

XIII. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should usually be voted for non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Portfolio shares should be voted against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.

XIV. Voting of shares in securities of any U.S. banking organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the Federal Reserve Board for a determination under federal banking law that no Fund or group of Funds has acquired control of such banking organization.

XV. Avoidance of Potential Conflicts of Interest

Voting of shares shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of mutual fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company shall be voted solely in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and (ii) voting shall be done without regard to any other Fidelity Companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.

FMR applies the following policies and follows the procedures set forth below:

A. FMR has placed responsibility for the Funds' proxy voting in the FMR Legal Department.

B. The FMR Legal Department votes proxies according to the Proxy Voting Guidelines that are approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees.

C. The FMR Legal Department consults with the appropriate analysts or portfolio managers regarding the voting decisions of non-routine proposals that are not addressed by the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Each of the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp is authorized to take a final decision.

D. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(E), (F) or (G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to the extent disclosed in the Fund's registration statement, FMR will use pass through voting or echo voting procedures.

XVI. Executive Compensation

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

XVII. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of an independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider supporting such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of an independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.

XVIII. Auditors

A. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending periodic rotation of a portfolio company's auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the selection of the company's auditor.

B. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the prohibition or limitation of the performance of non-audit services by a portfolio company's auditor. Portfolio shares should also generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending removal of a company's auditor due to, among other reasons, the performance of non-audit work by the auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the oversight of the performance of the auditor of audit or non-audit services for the company.

XIX. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country

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

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the 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. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

Sales charge revenues collected and retained by FDC for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table.

* Each class commenced operations on August 1, 2002.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class of the 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

The Rule 12b-1 Plan adopted for each class of the fund is described in the prospectus for that class.

The table below shows the distribution and service fees paid for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C of the fund for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005.

<R>* Amounts retained by FDC represent fees paid to FDC but not yet reallowed to intermediaries as of the close of the period reported and fees paid to FDC that are not eligible to be reallowed to intermediaries. Amounts not eligible for reallowance are retained by FDC for use in its capacity as distributor.</R>

** This amount is retained by FDC for use in its capacity as distributor.

Under the Institutional Class 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 Institutional Class 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 Institutional Class shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Institutional Class 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 Institutional Class shares.

Under the Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C Plans, 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 each Plan. The Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C Plans specifically recognize 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares and/or shareholder support services, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C 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 applicable class of the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Institutional Class Plan does not authorize payments by Institutional Class of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of class shares, additional sales of class 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C Plan does not provide for specific payments by the applicable class of any of the expenses of FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any specific level of expense in connection with distribution activities.

The 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.

<R>In addition to the distribution fees paid by FDC to intermediaries shown in the table above, FDC or an affiliate may compensate intermediaries that distribute and/or service the Advisor funds and the Advisor classes of shares. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, without limitation, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of assets or sales of shares, the placing of the funds on a preferred or recommended fund list, access to an intermediary's personnel, and other factors. The total amount paid to all intermediaries in the aggregate currently will not exceed 0.05% of the total assets of the Advisor Funds and the Advisor classes of shares on an annual basis. In addition to such payments, FDC or an affiliate may offer other incentives such as sponsorship of educational or client seminars relating to current products and issues, assistance in training and educating the intermediaries' personnel, payments or reimbursements for travel and related expenses associated with due diligence trips that an intermediary may undertake in order to explore possible business relationships with affiliates of FDC, and/or payments of costs and expenses associated with attendance at seminars, including travel, lodging, entertainment and meals. FDC anticipates that payments will be made to over a hundred intermediaries, including some of the largest broker-dealers and other financial firms, and these payments may be significant to the intermediaries. As permitted by SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers rules and other applicable laws and regulations, FDC or an affiliate may pay or allow other incentives or payments to intermediaries. </R>

<R>These additional payments, which are sometimes referred to as "revenue sharing," may represent a premium over payments made by other fund families, and investment professionals may have an added incentive to sell or recommend a fund or a share class over others offered by competing fund families.</R>

The fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from their own resources to certain intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and other services. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in this SAI for more information.

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 class of 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 each class of the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer agent agreement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FIIOC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for each class of the fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

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

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

FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

<R>Many fund shares are owned by intermediaries for the benefit of their customers. Since the funds often do not maintain an account for shareholders in those instances, some or all of the recordkeeping services for these accounts may be performed by intermediaries.</R>

<R>FIIOC or an affiliate may make payments out of its own resources to intermediaries, including those that sell shares of the funds, for recordkeeping services.</R>

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

<R>FIIOC may also pay out of its own resources to reimburse retirement plan recordkeepers for enhancements to their recordkeeping systems necessary to address the imposition of redemption fees on certain transactions. These payments may be made directly to recordkeepers or to the plan itself, and the plan sponsor or other fiduciary may use these payments to pay its share of the recordkeeper's fee for such enhancements.</R>

<R>FIIOC or an affiliate may make networking payments out of its own resources to intermediaries who perform transactions for the funds through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). NSCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, provides centralized clearance, settlement and information services for mutual funds and other financial services companies.</R>

<R>Because intermediaries and plan recordkeepers may be paid varying amounts for recordkeeping and administrative services, such payments may provide incentives for intermediaries to favor one fund family over another.</R>

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-service agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for each class of 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.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0250% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0150% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.0018% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion.

In addition, the fund is subject to a multiple class surcharge of 10% of the asset-based fee.

For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees , including reimbursement for related out-of-pocket expenses, of $293,000, $351,000, and $334,000, respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

Trust Organization. Spartan New York Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated April 25, 1983. Currently, there is one fund offered in the trust: Spartan New York 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, except that liabilities and expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds or classes.

Shareholder Liability. The fund 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 fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the fund 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 fund or the Trustees relating to the fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the fund and its assets.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the 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 the 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 the 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. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

Voting Rights. 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 and by class.

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

The fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the 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, Members of the Advisory Board, 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.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP, 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, 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 January 31, 2005, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

<R>The information referenced in (1) and (2) above, will be available on the web site until updated for the next applicable period.</R>

<R>The fund may also disclose to an issuer the number of shares of the issuer (or percentage of outstanding shares) held by the fund.</R>

<R>As authorized by the Board of Trustees, FMR's Disclosure Policy Committee, has established and administers guidelines found by the Board to be in the best interests of shareholders concerning the dissemination of fund holdings information, and resolution of conflicts of interest in connection with such disclosure, if any. The Disclosure Policy Committee reviews and decides on each information request and, if granted, how and by whom that information will be disseminated. The Disclosure Policy Committee is comprised of the fund's Treasurer and Deputy Treasurers and the executive officers of FMR. It reports to the Board of Trustees periodically. Any modifications to the guidelines require prior Board approval.</R>

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

<R>There is no assurance that the fund's policies on holdings information will protect the fund from the potential misuse of holdings by individuals or firms in possession of that information.</R>

APPENDIX

<R>On July 19, 2004, a class action complaint entitled Gilliam, et al. v. Fidelity Management & Research Co., FMR Co., Inc., FMR Corp., Fidelity Distributors Corp., et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging, among other things, that the defendants failed to disclose revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage practices adequately in the prospectuses of certain Fidelity funds. The complaint, which names over 200 Fidelity funds as nominal defendants, seeks unspecified damages. Four additional lawsuits making similar allegations have been filed, and other similar cases may be filed in the future. Any recovery of damages would revert to the funds. Fidelity believes these allegations are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.</R>

Item 23. 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 24. 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.

("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.

(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.
