LEXINGTON CROSBY SMALL CAP ASIA GROWTH FUND, INC.

      The  investment  objective of the  Lexington  Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth
Fund is long-term capital  appreciation  through investment in common stocks and
equivalents   of   companies   domiciled  in  the  Asia  Region  with  a  market
capitalization of less than $1 billion.

   
      The Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund will invest principally in
companies listed on stock exchanges in the Asia Region consisting of Bangladesh,
China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia,  Pakistan, The Philippines,
Singapore,  Sri Lanka, Taiwan,  Thailand,  and Vietnam ("the Asia Region").  The
Lexington  Crosby  Small Cap Asia  Growth  Fund will  invest at least 65% of its
total assets in securities of companies (1) that are organized under the laws of
the above countries, (2) whose principal securities trading market is located in
those  countries,  and (3) that derive at least 50% of their revenues or profits
from those  countries.  The  Lexington  Crosby  Small Cap Asia  Growth Fund also
intends  to invest in  Australia  and New  Zealand.  The Fund does not intend to
invest in Japan. The Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund may also invest
in unlisted  securities.  Under normal market  conditions,  the Lexington Crosby
Small Cap Asia Growth Fund will invest  substantially all of its assets in three
or more countries in the Asia Region.

      The  Lexington  Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund will invest at least 65%
of its total  assets in growth  companies  in the Asia Region  which have market
capitalizations  of less than $1 billion.  Approximately  13,000  companies  are
listed on recognized  exchanges in the Asia Region.  Approximately 300 companies
in the Asia Region are  capitalized  over $1 billion.  These  companies form the
principal components of their respective market indices and consequently attract
the majority of foreign investment in the region. Approximately 3,000 companies,
which are considered small capitalization  companies,  will be the primary focus
for the  Lexington  Crosby  Small  Cap Asia  Growth  Fund's  investments.  These
companies  are  frequently   under-researched  by  international  investors  and
undervalued by their markets.  The companies in which the Lexington Crosby Small
Cap Asia  Growth  Fund  intends  to invest  will  generally  have the  following
characteristics:  a market  capitalization  of less than $1 billion;  are within
industry sectors with  particularly  strong growth  prospects;  part of a strong
growth  industry;   proven  management;   under-researched   by  the  investment
community; and undervalued.
    

      The  Lexington  Crosby  Small  Cap Asia  Growth  Fund  intends  to  select
securities which can have enhanced growth  prospects and may provide  investment
returns  superior  to the Asian  market as a whole.  The  market  value of small
capitalization  companies in the Asia Region  tends to be  volatile,  and in the

                                       20
<PAGE>

past has offered  greater  potential for gain as well as loss than securities of
companies traded in developed  countries.  It is possible that certain Lexington
Crosby  Small Cap Asia  Growth  Fund  investments  could be  subject  to foreign
expropriation or exchange control restrictions. See "Risk Considerations."

      The Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund may invest in all types of
common stocks and equivalents (the following constitute equivalents: convertible
debt  securities,  warrants and options).  The  Lexington  Crosby Small Cap Asia
Growth  Fund  may  also  invest  in  preferred  stocks,  bonds  and  other  debt
obligations  and money market  instruments,  including  cash and cash  deposits,
which will be denominated in U.S. Dollars or currencies related thereto.

                        -------------------------------

   
LEXINGTON INTERNATIONAL FUND, INC.

      The investment  objective of the Lexington  International  Fund is to seek
long-term growth of capital through  investment in common stocks and equivalents
of companies  domiciled in foreign countries.  The Lexington  International Fund
will  invest  at  least  65% of its  total  assets  in at  least  three  foreign
countries.  The  Lexington  International  Fund will invest  primarily in common
stocks and common  stock  equivalents.  The  following  constitute  common stock
equivalents:  convertible debt securities,  warrants and options.  The Lexington
International  Fund may also invest in  preferred  stocks,  bonds and other debt
obligations,   including  money  market  instruments  of  foreign  and  domestic
companies  and  foreign  and  domestic  government  securities.   The  Lexington
International  Fund is not required to maintain  any  particular  geographic  or
currency  mix  of its  investments.  The  Lexington  International  Fund  is not
required  to  maintain  any  particular  proportion  of  stocks,  bonds or other
securities in its portfolio.
    

      The  Lexington  International  Fund may invest  primarily  in foreign debt
securities  when  it  appears  that  the  capital  appreciation  available  from
investments  in such  securities  will equal or exceed the capital  appreciation
available  from  investments  in equity  securities.  The  market  value of debt
securities varies inversely to changes in prevailing  interest rates.  Investing
in debt  obligations  may provide an opportunity for capital  appreciation  when
interest rates are expected to decline.  The Lexington  International  Fund will
invest in investment grade  obligations and non-rated  obligations of comparable
quality.

   
      The Lexington  International Fund may invest in securities of companies in
the following  regions and the  governments of those  regions:  the Asia Region,
including Japan;  Africa;  North America;  Europe; Latin America; and such other
areas  and  countries  as the  Manager  may  determine  from  time to time.  The

                                       21
<PAGE>

Lexington  International  Fund may invest in  companies  located  in  developing
countries without limitation.  Developing countries may have relatively unstable
governments,  economies based on only a few industries,  and securities  markets
which trade a small number of companies.  Prices on these  exchanges  tend to be
volatile and in the past these  exchanges  have offered  greater  potential  for
gain,  as well as  loss,  than  exchanges  in  developed  countries.  While  the
Lexington  International  Fund invests  only in  countries  that it considers as
having  relatively  stable and friendly  governments it is possible that certain
Lexington   International   Fund   investments   could  be  subject  to  foreign
expropriation or exchange control restrictions. See "Risk Considerations."
    

                    ----------------------------------------

LEXINGTON RAMIREZ GLOBAL INCOME FUND

      The investment objective of the Lexington Ramirez Global Income Fund is to
seek high current income.  Capital  appreciation is a secondary  objective.  The
Lexington  Ramirez  Global  Income  Fund  invests  primarily  in lower rated and
unrated  foreign debt  securities  whose credit quality is generally  considered
equal to U.S.  corporate debt  securities  known as "junk bonds." Junk bonds and
similarly  rated foreign debt  securities  involve a high degree of risk and are
predominantly speculative. See "Portfolio Securities" and "Risk Considerations."

   
      The Lexington Ramirez Global Income Fund, under normal conditions, invests
substantially  all of its  assets  in debt  securities  of  domestic  companies,
companies of developed foreign  countries,  companies in emerging  markets,  and
debt securities issued by the U.S. and foreign governments.  The debt securities
in which the  Lexington  Ramirez  Global  Income Fund invests  consist of bonds,
notes,  debentures and other similar  instruments.  The Lexington Ramirez Global
Income Fund may invest in debt  securities  issued by  government  agencies  and
instrumentalities, central banks, commercial banks and other corporate entities.
The  Lexington  Ramirez  Global  Income  Fund may invest up to 100% of its total
assets in domestic and foreign debt securities  that are rated below  investment
grade.  The Lexington  Ramirez  Global Income Fund may also invest in securities
that are in default as to payment of principal  and/or  interest,  and bank loan
participations and assignments.
    

      The Lexington Ramirez Global Income Fund's investments in emerging markets
will primarily  consist of the  following:  foreign "junk bonds," "Brady Bonds,"
and  sovereign  debt  securities  issued by  emerging  market  governments.  The
Lexington  Ramirez Global Income Fund may invest in debt  securities of emerging
market issuers  without regard to ratings.  Many emerging market debt securities
are not rated by United States rating  agencies.  The Lexington  Ramirez  Global

                                       22
<PAGE>

Income  Fund's  ability  to  achieve  its  investment  objectives  is thus  more
dependent  on the  Manager's  credit  analysis  than  would  be the  case if the
Lexington  Ramirez  Global Income Fund were to invest in higher  quality  bonds.
Currently,  most emerging market debt securities are considered to have a credit
quality below investment grade.

                         -----------------------------

LEXINGTON TROIKA DIALOG RUSSIA FUND, INC.

   
      The investment  objective of the Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund is to
seek long-term capital  appreciation  through investment primarily in the equity
securities of Russian Companies.  Under normal conditions,  the Lexington Troika
Dialog  Russia Fund seeks to achieve its  objective by investing at least 65% of
its total assets in the securities of Russian Companies. The securities in which
the Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia Fund may invest are common stock,  preferred
stock,  convertible preferred stock, bonds, notes or debentures convertible into
common or  preferred  stock,  direct  investments  in Russian  Companies,  stock
purchase  warrants  or  rights,  and  American  Depository  Receipts  or  Global
Depository  Receipts.  The  Lexington  Troika  Dialog Russia Fund may invest the
remaining  35%  of its  total  assets  in  debt  securities  issued  by  Russian
Companies,  debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Russian  Government or a
Russian governmental entity, debt securities of corporate and government issuers
outside  Russia,  equity  securities  of issuers  outside  Russia which the Fund
believes will experience growth in revenue and profits from participation in the
development  of the economies of the  Commonwealth  of Independent  States,  and
Short-Term and Medium-Term Debt Securities.
    

      The  Lexington  Troika  Dialog Russia Fund intends to invest its assets in
Russian Companies in a broad array of industries,  including the following:  oil
and gas, energy generation and distribution, communications, mineral extraction,
trade,  financial and business  services,  transportation,  manufacturing,  real
estate, textiles, food processing and construction.  The Lexington Troika Dialog
Russia Fund is not  permitted  to invest more than 25% of the value of its total
assets in any one industry.  It may, however,  invest an unrestricted  amount of
its assets in the oil and gas  industry.  The  Lexington  Troika  Dialog  Russia
Fund's  investments  will include  investments  in Russian  Companies  that have
characteristics  and  business  relationships  common to  companies  outside  of
Russia. As a result, outside economic forces may cause fluctuations in the value
of securities held by the Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund.

   
     Under current  conditions,  the Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund expects
to invest at least 15% of its total  assets in very  liquid  assets to  maintain
liquidity and provide stability. As the Russian equity markets develop, however,
    

                                       23
<PAGE>

   
and the liquidity of Russian securities becomes less of a concern, the Lexington
Troika  Dialog  Russia  Fund will invest a greater  percentage  of its assets in
Russian equity securities.
    

                        -------------------------------

LEXINGTON WORLDWIDE EMERGING MARKETS FUND, INC.

   
      The investment  objective of the Lexington Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund
is to seek long-term growth of capital  primarily  through  investment in equity
securities  and  equivalents  of companies  domiciled in, or doing  business in,
emerging countries and emerging markets. Under normal conditions,  the Lexington
Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at
least 65% of its total  assets  in the  equity  securities  and  equivalents  of
emerging market  companies.  Under normal  conditions,  the Lexington  Worldwide
Emerging Markets Fund invests in emerging country and emerging market securities
of at least three countries  outside of the United States. In the opinion of the
Manager,  emerging  market  countries  include,  but are  not  limited  to,  the
following: Algeria, Argentina,  Bahrain, Bangladesh,  Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil,
Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic,  Dominican Republic,
Ecuador,  Egypt Estonia,  Finland,  Ghana,  Greece, Hong Kong,  Hungary,  India,
Indonesia,  Israel, Ivory Coast,  Jamaica,  Jordan,  Kenya,  Lebanon,  Malaysia,
Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Namibia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Panama,
Peru, Philippines,  Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa,
South Korea, Sri Lanka Swaziland,  Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia,
Turkey, Uruguay,  Venezuela,  Zambia, Zimbabwe. The Lexington Worldwide Emerging
Markets Fund may also invest in equity  securities and  equivalents of companies
that derive 50% or more of their  total  revenue  from either  goods or services
produced in emerging market countries or sales made in those countries.
    

     The Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund's  investments in emerging
country  equity  securities  are  not  subject  to any  maximum  limit,  and the
Lexington Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund intends to invest substantially all of
its assets in emerging  country  and  emerging  market  equity  securities.  The
Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund may invest the remaining 35% of its
total  assets in equity  securities  without  regard to whether  they qualify as
emerging  country  or  emerging  market  equity   securities,   debt  securities
denominated in the currency of an emerging  market or issued or guaranteed by an
emerging market company or the government of an emerging country, and Short-Term
and Medium-Term Debt Securities.

                      ------------------------------------

LEXINGTON CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND

      The investment objective of the Lexington  Convertible  Securities Fund is
total  return  which it seeks to  achieve  by  providing  capital  appreciation,
current  income  and   conservation  of  shareholders   capital.   Under  normal

                                       24
<PAGE>

conditions,  the  Lexington  Convertible  Securities  Fund seeks to achieve  its
objective  by  investing  at least  65% of its total  assets in debt  securities
convertible  into  shares  of  common  stock  ("convertible  securities").   The
Lexington   Convertible   Securities  Fund  may  invest  without  limitation  in
high-yield  debt  securities  rated  below  investment  grade.  Such lower rated
securities  are commonly  referred to as "junk bonds." Junk bonds are considered
speculative  and pose a greater  risk of loss of  principal  and  interest  than
investment   grade   securities.    See   "Portfolio   Securities"   and   "Risk
Considerations."   Common  stock   received  upon  the  conversion  or  sale  of
convertible  securities held by the Lexington  Convertible  Securities Fund will
either  continue to be held by the Lexington  Convertible  Securities Fund or be
sold.

      The convertible  securities held by the Lexington  Convertible  Securities
Fund may consist of securities  rated in the six highest rating  categories by a
major rating service and non-rated debt  securities.  The Lexington  Convertible
Securities  Fund will not invest in any security which has been rated lower than
"B" by S&P or  Moody's,  which are both  major  rating  services,  or  non-rated
securities of comparable quality.

   
     The remaining  assets of the Lexington  Convertible  Securities Fund may be
invested  in  securities  other  than  convertible  securities.   The  Lexington
Convertible  Securities  Fund may invest in  dividend  and  non-dividend  paying
non-convertible  common stocks,  corporate  bonds,  covered call options and put
options, stock index options, U.S. Government securities,  repurchase agreements

LEXINGTON GROWTH AND INCOME FUND, INC.

   
      The Lexington Growth and Income Fund's principal  investment  objective is
long term capital appreciation.  Income is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks
to achieve its objective over the long term through  investment in the stocks of
large, ably managed and well financed companies. Generally, the Lexington Growth
and Income Fund invests its assets in publicly  traded  common stocks and senior
securities convertible into common stocks of domestic and foreign companies.
    

                              --------------------

LEXINGTON SMALLCAP VALUE FUND, INC.

   
     The  investment  objective of the Lexington  SmallCap Value Fund is to seek
long term capital appreciation.  Under normal conditions, the Lexington SmallCap
Value Fund seeks its objective by investing in common stocks and  equivalents of
domestic companies with a market  capitalization under $1 billion.  Warrants and
convertible debt securities are common stock  equivalents in which the Lexington
SmallCap Value Fund may invest. The Lexington SmallCap Value Fund will invest at

                                       25
<PAGE>

least 90% of its assets in domestic companies which have market  capitalizations
between $20 million and $1 billion at the time of  investment.  The remainder of
its  assets  may  be   invested  in   securities   of   companies   with  market
capitalizations  below $20 million,  above $1 billion,  foreign  companies  with
dollar  denominated  shares  traded in the United  States,  American  Depository
Shares or Receipts, real estate investment trusts, and cash.

      The Lexington  SmallCap Value Fund will invest it assets  primarily in the
equity  securities  of domestic  companies  listed on stock  exchanges or traded
over-the-counter.  The  Lexington  SmallCap  Value  Fund may  invest in  foreign
companies whose shares are traded in U.S. dollar denominated markets.

      The companies in which the Lexington SmallCap Value Fund intends to invest
will generally have the following  characteristics:  a market  capitalization of
less than $1 billion; a high relative ratio of revenue per share to stock price;
a low relative  ratio of price to book value per share; a positive cash flow and
other  measures  of  financial  stability;  and a low stock  price  relative  to
historical levels.
    
                              -------------------

LEXINGTON GOLDFUND, INC.

      The  Lexington  Goldfund's  principal  investment  objective  is to attain
capital  appreciation  and such  hedge  against  loss of buying  power as may be
obtained through  investment in gold and equity  securities of companies engaged
in mining or processing gold throughout the world. Under normal  conditions,  at
least 65% of the value of the total  assets of the  Lexington  Goldfund  will be
invested in gold and the securities of companies engaged in mining or processing
gold  ("gold-related  securities").  The  Lexington  Goldfund may also invest in
other precious metals,  including platinum,  palladium and silver. The Lexington
Goldfund intends to invest less than half of the value of its assets in gold and
other  precious  metals  and  more  than  half of the  value  of its  assets  in
gold-related securities, including securities of foreign issuers.

      The Lexington  Goldfund is designed to provide  investors  with a means to
protect  against  declines  in  the  value  of the  U.S.  dollar  against  world
currencies.   To  the  extent  that  the  Lexington  Goldfund's  investments  in
gold-related  securities  appreciate in value relative to the U.S.  dollar,  the
Lexington  Goldfund's  investments  may serve to offset  declines  in the buying
power  of the U.S.  dollar.  Management  believes  that,  over  the  long  term,
investing in gold will  protect  capital  from  adverse  monetary and  political
developments.  Investments in gold may provide more of a hedge against a decline
in the buying power of the dollar, devaluation and inflation than other types of
investments. The value of gold-related debt securities,  however, will generally
not  react  to  fluctuations  in the  price of gold.  The  market  value of debt
securities of companies  engaged in mining or processing gold can be expected to
fluctuate inversely with prevailing interest rates.

LEXINGTON GNMA INCOME FUND, INC.

   
      The  investment  objective of the Lexington  GNMA Income Fund is to seek a
high level of current income, consistent with liquidity and safety of principal.
Under normal market  conditions,  the Lexington  GNMA Income Fund will invest at
least 80% of the  value of its total  assets  in  Government  National  Mortgage
Association   ("GNMA")   mortgage-backed   securities   (also   known  as  "GNMA
Certificates").  Lexington GNMA Certificates  represent part ownership of a pool
of  mortgage  loans.  The  timely  payment of  interest  and  principal  on each
certificate  is  guaranteed  by the full faith and  credit of the United  States
Government. The principal on Lexington GNMA Certificates is scheduled to be paid
back by the borrower over the length of the loan.  The  remaining  assets of the
Lexington  GNMAIncome  Fund  will be  invested  in other  securities  issued  or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, including U.S. Treasury securities.
    

     The Lexington  GNMA Income Fund will purchase  "modified pass through" type
GNMA Certificates.  "Modified pass through" GNMA Certificates entitle the holder
to receive all interest and principal  payments owed by the borrower even if the
borrower has not made payment. The Lexington GNMA Income Fund intends to use the
proceeds from principal  payments to purchase  additional  GNMA  Certificates or
other U.S. Government guaranteed securities.

                            ------------------------

LEXINGTON MONEY MARKET TRUST

     The investment  objective of the Lexington Money Market Trust is to seek as
high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital
and liquidity by investing in short-term money market instruments. The following
are the money market  instruments in which the Lexington Money Market Trust will
invest:  U.S.  Government  securities,  time deposits,  certificates of deposit,
bankers'  acceptances,  commercial paper,  repurchase agreements and other money
market  instruments.The  Lexington Money Market Trust seeks to maintain a stable
net asset value of $1 per share.

      The Lexington  Money Market Trust will invest in money market  instruments
that have been rated in one of the two highest rating categories by both S&P and
Moody's,  both major rating  agencies.  A "Tier 1" security is one that has been
rated by either S&P or Moody's in the highest rating  category,  or, if unrated,
is of comparable  quality. A "Tier 2" security is one that has been rated in the
second  highest  category  by  either  S&P or  Moody's,  or, if  unrated,  is of
comparable  quality.  Up to 5% of the total assets of the Lexington Money Market
Trust may be invested in a single  Tier 1 security  (other than U.S.  Government
securities).  In addition,  the Lexington Money Market Trust may not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in Tier 2  securities,  and may not invest more than
1% of its total assets in any single Tier 2 security.

                                       27
<PAGE>

     The  Lexington   Money  Market  Trust  may  only  invest  in  money  market
instruments  with a remaining  maturity of 397 days or less,  provided  that the
Fund's average weighted maturity does not exceed 90 days. 

                              PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

EQUITY SECURITIES

   
      The Lexington Convertible  Securities Fund, Lexington Goldfund,  Lexington
Growth and Income Fund,  Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund,  Lexington
International  Fund,  Lexington  SmallCap  Value Fund,  Lexington  Troika Dialog
Russia  Fund and  Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets  Fund invest in common
stocks and some of the funds may invest in common stock equivalents (see chart).
The  following  constitute  common  stock  equivalents:  warrants,  options  and
convertible debt securities,  ADRs, GDRs and EDRs.  Common stock equivalents may
be converted  into or provide the holder with the right to common  stock.  These
funds may also invest in other types of equity securities,  including  preferred
stocks, and equity derivative securities. 
    

DEBT SECURITIES

   
      The Lexington  Ramirez  Global  Income Fund and the Lexington  Convertible
Securities Fund will invest  primarily in debt securities and the Lexington GNMA
Income  Fund  will  have  substantially  all  of its  assets  invested  in  GNMA
Certificates and U.S. Government securities.

      The Lexington Goldfund,  Lexington  International  Fund,  Lexington Troika
Dialog  Russia Fund and  Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund may invest
primarily in debt securities when the Manager believes that debt securities will
provide  capital  appreciation  through  favorable  changes in relative  foreign
exchange rates, in relative interest rate levels or in the  creditworthiness  of
issuers.

      The Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund and Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging
Markets  Fund may,  under  normal  conditions,  invest up to 35% of their  total
assets in  Short-Term  and  Medium-Term  Debt  Securities.  The  Short-Term  and
Medium-Term  Debt  Securities  in which the Funds may  invest  are  foreign  and
domestic  debt  securities,  including  short-term  (less than twelve  months to
maturity) and medium-term (not greater than five years to maturity)  obligations
issued  by the  U.S.  Government,  foreign  governments,  foreign  and  domestic
corporations and banks, and repurchase agreements.

      JUNK  BONDS.   The  Lexington   Ramirez  Global  Income  Fund,   Lexington
Convertible  Securities Fund and Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia Fund may invest
in high yield, lower rated debt securities known as "junk bonds." Junk bonds are
debt  obligations  rated below  investment  grade and  non-rated  securities  of


                                       28
<PAGE>

comparable  quality.  Junk  bonds  are  considered  speculative  and thus pose a
greater risk of default than investment  grade  securities.  Investments of this
type are  subject to greater  risk of loss of  principal  and  interest,  but in
general provide higher yields than higher rated debt  obligations.  Bonds issued
by companies  domiciled in emerging  markets are usually rated below  investment
grade.  The Lexington  Ramirez Global Income Fund may invest in securities  that
are in default  as to payment of  principal  and/or  interest.  Debt  securities
purchased   by  Lexington   Crosby   Small  Cap  Asia  Growth  Fund,   Lexington
International  Fund and  Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund must be of
investment grade quality or comparable thereto.

      ZERO COUPON BONDS. The Lexington  Ramirez Global Income Fund may invest in
zero coupon  bonds.  Zero coupon bond prices are highly  sensitive to changes in
market interest rates. The original issue discount on the zero coupon bonds must
be included ratably in the income of the Lexington Ramirez Global Income Fund as
the income  accrues even though  payment has not been  received.  The  Lexington
Ramirez Global Income Fund nevertheless  intends to distribute an amount of cash
equal to the currently  accrued  original issue  discount,  and this may require
liquidating securities at times they might not otherwise do so and may result in
capital loss. See "Tax Information" in the Statement of Additional Information.

      LOAN  PARTICIPATION  AND ASSIGNMENTS.  The Lexington Ramirez Global Income
Fund may invest in loans arranged through private negotiations between a foreign
entity and one or more  lenders.  The majority of the Lexington  Ramirez  Global
Income Fund's  investments in loans in emerging markets is expected to be in the
form of participation in loans ("Participations") and assignments of portions of
loans from third parties  ("Assignments").  Participations typically will result
in the Lexington  Ramirez  Global Income Fund having a contractual  relationship
only with the Lender, not with the borrower. The Lexington Ramirez Global Income
Fund will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees
to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the  Participation and only
upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower.  As a result,  the
Lexington  Ramirez  Global  Income  Fund will assume the credit risk of both the
borrower and the Lender that is selling the  Participation.  When the  Lexington
Ramirez Global Income Fund  purchases  Assignments  from Lenders,  the Lexington
Ramirez  Global Income Fund will acquire  direct rights  against the borrower on
the Loan. The Lexington Ramirez Global Income Fund may have difficulty disposing
of Assignments and  Participations.  The liquidity of such securities is limited
and the Lexington  Ramirez Global Income Fund  anticipates  that such securities
could be sold only to a limited number of institutional investors. The lack of a
liquid  secondary  market  could  have an  adverse  impact  on the value of such
securities.

     BRADY BONDS. The Lexington  Ramirez Global Income Fund may invest in "Brady
Bonds".  Brady Bonds are  securities  created  through the  exchange of existing
    

                                       29
<PAGE>

   
commercial bank loans to public and private entities in certain emerging markets
for new bonds in connection with a debt  restructuring plan introduced by former
U.S.  Secretary  of the  Treasury,  Nicholas F.  Brady.  Fund  investors  should
recognize that  BradyBonds have been issued only recently and,  accordingly,  do
not have a long payment history. DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

 DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

      Each  Lexington  Fund (except  Lexington  Money Market Trust and Lexington
GNMAIncome Fund) may invest in American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") and similar
securities. ADRs are securities traded in the U.S. that are backed by securities
of foreign issuers.
    

INVESTMENT COMPANIES

     Each Lexington Fund (except the Lexington Money Market Trust) may invest up
to 10% of its total assets in shares of other  investment  companies that invest
in securities which the Funds may otherwise invest.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

      All   Lexington   Funds  may  invest  in   fixed-rate   and  floating-  or
variable-rate  U.S.  government  securities.   The  U.S.  Government  guarantees
payments of interest and  principal  of U.S.  Treasury  bills,  notes and bonds,
mortgage-related securities of the GNMA, and other securities issued by the U.S.
government.   Other   securities   issued  by  U.S.   government   agencies   or
instrumentalities   are   supported   only  by  the  credit  of  the  agency  or
instrumentality, for example those issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, whereas
others,  such as those issued by the FNMA,  Farm Credit  System and Student Loan
Marketing Association, have an additional line of credit with the U.S. Treasury.

     Short-term U.S. government  securities generally are considered to be among
the  safest  short-term  investments.  However,  the  U.S.  government  does not
guarantee  the net  asset  value of the  Funds'  shares.  With  respect  to U.S.
government  securities  supported  only by the credit of the  issuing  agency or
instrumentality or by an additional line of credit with the U.S. Treasury, there
is no guarantee that the U.S.  government  will provide support to such agencies
or instrumentalities.  Accordingly,  such U.S. government securities may involve
risk of loss of principal and interest.

   
      The  following  table  illustrates  investments  that the Funds  primarily
invest in or are  permitted to invest in, as indicated in dark shade.  The light
shade  indicates  that the  Fund's  policy may permit  such  investments  within
limits.

     -----------

1    Under the Investment Company Act, repurchase  agreements and reverse dollar
     roll  transactions  are  considered to be loans by a fund and must be fully
     collateralized  by  collateral  assets.  If  the  seller  defaults  on  its
     obligations to repurchase the  underlying  security,  a fund may experience
     delay or  difficulty  in exercising it rights to realize upon the security,
     may  incur a loss if the  value  of the  security  declines  and may  incur
     disposition costs in liquidating the security.

   
2    A fund that may enter into in forward currency contracts may not do so with
     respect to more than 70% of its total assets.
    

3    A FUND WILL NOT ENTER INTO  OPTIONS ON  SECURITIES,  SECURITIES  INDICES OR
     CURRENCIES OR RELATED OPTIONS  (INCLUDING OPTIONS ON FUTURES) IF THE SUM OF
     INITIAL  MARGIN  DEPOSITS AND PREMIUMS  PAID FOR ANY SUCH OPTION OR OPTIONS
     WOULD  EXCEED 5% OF ITS TOTAL  ASSETS,  AND IT WILL NOT ENTER INTO  OPTIONS
     WITH  RESPECT TO MORE THAN 25% OF ITS TOTAL  ASSETS.

4    A Fund may purchase and sell futures  contracts  and related  options under
     the following  conditions:  (a) the then-current  aggregate  futures market
     prices of  financial  instruments  required to be delivered  and  purchased
     under open  futures  contracts  shall not  exceed  30% of the Fund's  total
     assets,  at market value; and (b) no more than 5% of the assets,  at market
     value at the time of entering into a contract, shall be committed to margin
     deposits in relation to futures contracts.

   
BORROWING FOR TEMPORARY OR EMERGENCY PURPOSES

      For temporary or emergency purposes, Lexington Convertible Securities Fund
and Lexington Growth and Income Fund may borrow up to 10% of their total assets.
Lexington  Money Market  Trust may borrow up to  one-third of its total  assets;
Lexington  GNMAIncome  Fund may not borrow money,  and the  remaining  Lexington
Funds may borrow up to 5% of their total assets. For leveraging  purposes,  some
Lexington Funds (see Chart)may borrow up to one-third of their total assets.
    

DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS AND PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

      Each  Lexington  Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in cash or
high-quality debt obligations for temporary defensive purposes.

   
      The  "portfolio  turnover  rate" is the  frequency  a Fund  buys and sells
securities.  Frequent  transactions  involve  added  expense.  All Funds  except
Lexington Convertible Securities Fund, Lexington Goldfund and Lexington SmallCap
Value Fund expect a portfolio turnover rate of greater than 100%.
    

HEDGING AND RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

      The  Lexington  Funds (other than the  Lexington  Money Market  Trust) may
"hedge" against changes in financial markets, currency rates and interest rates.
A typical hedge is designed to offset a decline that could hurt the value of the
Fund's securities. The Lexington Funds may hedge with "derivatives." Derivatives
are instruments whose value is linked to, or derived from,  another  instrument,
like an index or a  commodity.  Some  Lexington  Funds (see chart) may invest in
options and futures contracts.

                                       33
<PAGE>

      Hedging  transactions  involve certain risks.  Although a Fund may benefit
from hedging,  unanticipated  changes in interest rates or securities prices may
result in greater losses for a Fund than if it did not hedge. If a Fund does not
correctly  predict  a  hedge,  it may  lose  money.  In  addition,  a Fund  pays
commissions  and  other  costs in  connection  with  such  investments.  Hedging
transactions may not exist is some countries.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

      The investment objective of each Lexington Fund is fundamental and may not
be changed without  shareholder  approval but,  unless  otherwise  stated,  each
Fund's other investment  policies may be changed by its Board. If a Fund changes
its investment  objective or policies,  you should consider whether that Fund is
right for you. The Lexington Funds are subject to additional investment policies
and restrictions described in the Statement of Additional  Information,  some of
which are fundamental.

                               RISK CONSIDERATIONS

SMALL COMPANIES

      The  Lexington  Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund and  Lexington  SmallCap
Value Fund emphasize  investments in smaller companies that may benefit from the
development  of new products and  services.  Such smaller  companies may present
greater opportunities for capital appreciation but may involve greater risk than
larger,  more mature  issuers.  Such smaller  companies may have limited product
lines,  markets or  financial  resources,  and their  securities  may trade less
frequently  and in more  limited  volume  than  those  of  larger,  more  mature
companies.  As a result,  the prices of their securities may fluctuate more than
those of larger issuers.

      Many companies traded on securities  markets in many foreign countries are
smaller,  newer and less seasoned than companies whose  securities are traded on
securities  markets  in the United  States.  Investments  in  smaller  companies
involve  greater risk than is  customarily  associated  with investing in larger
companies.  Smaller  companies  may  have  limited  product  lines,  markets  or
financial or  managerial  resources  and may be more  susceptible  to losses and
risks of bankruptcy.  Additionally,  market making and arbitrage  activities are
generally  less  extensive in such  markets and with respect to such  companies,
which may  contribute  to  increased  volatility  and reduced  liquidity of such
markets or such securities. Accordingly, each of these markets and companies may
be subject to  greater  influence  by adverse  events  generally  affecting  the
market, and by large investors trading significant blocks of securities, than is
usual  in the  United  States.  To  the  extent  that  any  of  these  countries

                                       34
<PAGE>

experiences  rapid  increases  in its  money  supply  and  investment  in equity
securities for speculative  purposes,  the equity  securities traded in any such
country may trade at  price-earning  multiples  higher than those of  comparable
companies trading on securities  markets in the United States,  which may not be
sustainable.  In addition, risks due to the lack of modern technology,  the lack
of a sufficient capital base to expand business  operations,  the possibility of
permanent or temporary  termination of trading,  and greater spreads between bid
and ask prices may exist in such markets.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

   
      The  Lexington  Crosby  Small Cap Asia Growth  Fund,  Lexington  Goldfund,
Lexington  Growth and  Income  Fund,  Lexington  International  Fund,  Lexington
Ramirez  Global Income Fund,  Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia Fund and Lexington
Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund have the right to purchase securities in foreign
countries.  Accordingly,  shareholders should consider carefully the substantial
risks involved in investing in securities issued by companies and governments of
foreign  nations,  which are in addition to the usual risks of loss  inherent in
domestic investments. The Lexington Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund, Lexington
International  Fund,  Lexington  Ramirez  Global Income Fund,  Lexington  Troika
Dialog Russia Fund and Lexington  Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund, may invest in
securities  of companies  domiciled  in, and in markets of,  so-called  emerging
market  countries.  These  investments  may be  subject  to  higher  risks  than
investments in more developed countries.
    

      Foreign    investments   involve   the   possibility   of   expropriation,
nationalization or confiscatory  taxation,  taxation of income earned in foreign
nations (including, for example, withholding taxes on interest and dividends) or
other taxes  imposed with respect to  investments  in foreign  nations,  foreign
exchange  controls  (which may  include  suspension  of the  ability to transfer
currency  from a given  country and  repatriation  of  investments),  default in
foreign government securities, and political or social instability or diplomatic
developments  that could adversely  affect  investments.  In addition,  there is
often less publicly  available  information  about foreign issuers than those in
the U.S. Foreign companies are often not subject to uniform accounting, auditing
and  financial  reporting   standards.   Further,   these  funds  may  encounter
difficulties  in pursuing  legal  remedies or in obtaining  judgments in foreign
courts. Additional risk factors, including use of domestic and foreign custodian
banks and  depositories,  are described  elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the
Statement of Additional Information.

      Brokerage  commissions,  fees  for  custodial  services  and  other  costs
relating to  investments  in other  countries are generally  greater than in the
U.S.  Foreign  markets have different  clearance and settlement  procedures from

                                       35
<PAGE>

those in the U.S., and certain markets have  experienced  times when settlements
did not keep pace with the volume of securities transactions. The inability of a
fund to make intended security  purchases due to settlement  difficulties  could
cause  it to  miss  attractive  investment  opportunities.  Inability  to sell a
portfolio  security due to settlement  problems could result in loss to the fund
if the value of the portfolio  security declined or result in claims against the
fund. In certain countries,  there is less government supervision and regulation
of  business  and  industry  practices,  stock  exchanges,  brokers,  and listed
companies  than in the U.S. The  securities  markets of many of the countries in
which these funds may invest may also be smaller,  less  liquid,  and subject to
greater price volatility than those in the U.S.

      Because  certain   foreign   securities  may  be  denominated  in  foreign
currencies, the value of such securities will be affected by changes in currency
exchange rates and in exchange control  regulations,  and costs will be incurred
in connection with conversions  between  currencies.  A change in the value of a
foreign  currency  against the U.S. dollar results in a corresponding  change in
the U.S. dollar value of a fund's securities  denominated in the currency.  Such
changes also affect the fund's income and distributions to shareholders.  A fund
may be affected either favorably or unfavorably by changes in the relative rates
of  exchange  between  the  currencies  of  different  nations,  and a fund  may
therefore  engage in  foreign  currency  hedging  strategies.  Such  strategies,
however,  involve  certain  transaction  costs and investment  risks,  including
dependence upon the Manager's ability to predict movements in exchange rates.

      Some  countries in which one of these funds may invest also may have fixed
or managed  currencies that are not freely  convertible at market rates into the
U.S. dollar.  Certain currencies may not be internationally  traded. A number of
these  currencies  have  experienced  steady  devaluation  relative  to the U.S.
dollar, and such devaluations in the currencies may have a detrimental impact on
the  fund.  Many  countries  in  which  a  fund  may  invest  have   experienced
substantial,  and in some periods  extremely  high,  rates of inflation for many
years.  Inflation  and rapid  fluctuation  in inflation  rates may have negative
effects on certain economies and securities markets.  Moreover, the economies of
some countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such
respects as the rate of growth of gross  domestic  product,  rate of  inflation,
capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments. Certain
countries also limit the amount of foreign capital that can be invested in their
markets and local companies, creating a "foreign premium" on capital investments
available  to foreign  investors  such as the fund.  The fund may pay a "foreign
premium" to  establish  an  investment  position  which it cannot  later  recoup
because of changes in that country's foreign investment laws.

LOWER-QUALITY DEBT

   
      The Lexington Convertible  Securities Fund, Lexington Troika Dialog Russia
Fund,  Lexington  Goldfund,  Inc. and Lexington  Ramirez  Global Income Fund are
authorized to invest high-yield,  lower-rated debt securities  commonly referred
to  as  "junk  bonds."   Lower-rated  debt  securities  are  considered   highly
speculative and changes in economic  conditions or other  circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to make  principal and interest  payments
than with higher-grade debt securities.
    

CONCENTRATION IN SECURITIES OF RUSSIAN COMPANIES

   
      The Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia Fund  concentrates  its  investment in
companies  that have their  principal  activities in Russia.  Consequently,  the
Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund's share value may be more volatile than that
of investment  companies not sharing this  geographic  concentration.  Since the
breakup of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, Russia has experienced  dramatic
political and social change.  The political  system in Russia is emerging from a
long history of extensive state involvement in economic affairs.  The country is
undergoing a rapid  transition from a  centrally-controlled  command system to a
market-oriented,  democratic  model. The Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund may
be  affected  unfavorably  by  political  or  diplomatic  developments,   social
instability,  changes in  government  policies,  taxation  and  interest  rates,
currency repatriation restrictions and other political and economic developments
in  the  law  or  regulations  in  Russia  and,  in  particular,  the  risks  of
expropriation,  nationalization  and  confiscation  of  assets  and  changes  in
legislation relating to foreign ownership. See "Russia" and "Russian Company" in
the Glossary.

      The Russian securities markets are substantially  smaller, less liquid and
significantly more volatile than the securities markets in the United States. In
addition,  there is little  historical data on these securities  markets because
they are of recent origin. A substantial  proportion of securities  transactions
in  Russia   are   privately   negotiated   outside  of  stock   exchanges   and
over-the-counter   markets.   A  limited   number   of   issuers   represent   a
disproportionately large percentage of market capitalization and trading volume.
Some issuers may be exposed to center-regional  conflicts in jurisdiction in the
areas of taxation and overall  corporate  governance  which could put the Fund's
investments  at risk. In addition,  because the Russian  securities  markets are
smaller and less liquid than in the United States, obtaining prices on portfolio
securities from independent sources may be more difficult than in other markets.
    

      The  political  environment  in Russia in 1997 is more stable than in 1993
and earlier when clashes between  reformers and  reactionaries  were continuous,

                                       37
<PAGE>

setting the stage for an attempted  coup d'etat in October  1993.  Nevertheless,
there is still a great deal of uncertainty  surrounding the political  future of
the country.  The civil war in Chechnya has highlighted  the political  tensions
that exist  between  the  central  government  in Moscow and some of the regions
within the Russian  Federation and has  contributed to political  instability by
weakening  confidence  domestically and  internationally in the government.  The
risk exists that armed  conflict in Chechnya  will  continue,  which could deter
foreign  investment  and  international  aid and  further  weaken the  reformist
government's   control.   A  continuing   trend  away  from   reformers   toward
conservatives   could  further  deter  foreign   investment  if  foreign  policy
initiatives  contrary to western interests (Iran,  Iraq) lead to a deterioration
in relations  between the Russian  Federation and the West. The risk also exists
that the  political  tensions  associated  with the war in Chechnya will lead to
attempts for  independence in other regions within the Russian  Federation.  The
war in Chechnya and other inflammatory  issues may also lead to greater tensions
and divisions between the President and the legislature.

      The  military  could  have a negative  impact on  Russia's  political  and
economic future.  The declining  stature of Russia as a world power has led to a
widespread  sentiment  among  Russians  for a return  to  Russia's  status  as a
superpower. Demobilization of troops, cuts in the military budget, the growth of
significant gaps in living standards  between the military and civilian sectors,
and the  perception  of an  external  threat  from NATO  could  lead to  further
political unrest.

      Moreover,  it is uncertain  whether  Russia's  privatization  process will
continue.  Although  government  officials have publicly pledged their continued
support for the reform process.  It is also unclear whether the reforms intended
to liberalize  prevailing  economic  structures based on free market  principles
will be  successful,  particularly  in terms of  foreign  ownership  of  Russian
companies.

      The planned economy of the former Soviet Union was run with  qualitatively
different objectives and assumptions from those prevalent in a market system and
Russian  businesses  do not  have  any  recent  history  of  operating  within a
market-oriented economy. In general,  relative to companies operating in Western
economies,  companies in Russia are  characterized  by a lack of: (i) management
with experience of operating in a market economy;  (ii) modern technology;  and,
(iii) a  sufficient  capital  base  with  which  to  develop  and  expand  their
operations.  It is unclear what will be the future effect on Russian  companies,
if any, of  Russia's  continued  attempts to move toward a more  market-oriented
economy.

                                       38
<PAGE>

      Russia's  economy  has  experienced  severe  economic  recession,  if  not
depression,  since 1990 during which time the economy has been  characterized by
high rates of inflation,  high rates of  unemployment,  declining gross domestic
product,  deficit government  spending,  and a devaluing currency.  The economic
reform  program has  involved  major  disruptions  and  dislocations  in various
sectors of the economy. The economic problems have been exacerbated by a growing
liquidity crisis which culminated in a bank liquidity crisis in August 1995. The
taxation  system has had numerous  attempts at reform,  but a failure to collect
taxes is an ongoing major problem.

      Russia presently receives  significant  financial assistance from a number
of countries through various programs.  To the extent these programs are reduced
or  eliminated  in the future,  Russian  economic  development  may be adversely
impacted.

   
      Although  evolving  rapidly,  even the largest of Russia's stock exchanges
are not well developed compared to Western stock exchanges. The actual volume of
exchange-based  trading in Russia is low and active on-market  trading generally
occurs  only in the shares of a few private  companies.  Most  secondary  market
trading of equity securities occurs through over-the-counter trading facilitated
by  a  growing   number  of   licensed   brokers.   Shares  are  traded  on  the
over-the-counter  market primarily by the management of enterprises,  investment
funds, short-term speculators and foreign investors.
    

INTEREST RATES

      The market value of debt  securities  that are interest rate  sensitive is
inversely  related to changes  in  interest  rates.  That is, an  interest  rate
decline produces an increase in a security's  market value, and an interest rate
increase  produces a decrease in value.  The longer the remaining  maturity of a
security,  the more  sensitive  that  security is to changes in interest  rates.
Changes in the ability of an issuer to make  payments of interest and  principal
and in the market's perception of the issuer's  creditworthiness also affect the
market value of that issuer's debt securities.

      Prepayments of principal of  mortgage-related  securities by mortgagors or
mortgage foreclosures affect the average life of the mortgage-related securities
in a  fund's  portfolio.  Mortgage  prepayments  are  affected  by the  level of
interest rates and other factors,  including general economic conditions and the
underlying  location  and age of the  mortgage.  In periods  of rising  interest
rates, the prepayment rate tends to decrease,  lengthening the average life of a
pool of mortgage-related  securities.  In periods of falling interest rates, the
prepayment  rate  tends to  increase,  shortening  the  average  life of a pool.
Because  prepayments  of  principal  generally  occur  when  interest  rates are
declining, it is likely that the Lexington GNMA Income Fund may have to reinvest

                                       39
<PAGE>

the proceeds of prepayments at lower interest rates than those of their previous
investments. If this occurs, a fund's yield will decline correspondingly.  Thus,
mortgage-related  securities may have less potential for capital appreciation in
periods  of  falling  interest  rates  than  other  fixed-income  securities  of
comparable  duration,  although they have a comparable risk of decline in market
value in periods of rising interest rates. To the extent that the Lexington GNMA
Income Fund  purchases  mortgage-related  securities  at a premium,  unscheduled
prepayments,  which are made at par,  result in a loss equal to any  unamortized
premium.  Duration  is one of the  fundamental  tools  used  by the  Manager  in
managing  interest rate risks including  prepayment risks. See "Duration" in the
Glossary.

      NON-DIVERSIFIED  PORTFOLIO.  The Lexington  Goldfund and Lexington  Troika
Dialog  Russia  Fund  are  "non-diversified"   investment  companies  under  the
Investment  Company Act.  This means that the  Lexington  Goldfund and Lexington
Troika  Dialog  Russia  Fund are not  limited in the  proportion  of their total
assets that may be invested in a single  company.  The  Lexington  Goldfund  and
Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund may invest a greater portion of their assets
in fewer companies than "diversified"  funds, and thus may be subject to greater
risk. The Lexington  Goldfund and Lexington Troika Dialog Russia Fund,  however,
intend to comply with the  diversification  requirements  of federal tax laws to
qualify as a regulated investment company.

   
PRECIOUS METALS

      The  Lexington  Goldfund  may invest in gold  bullion  and other  precious
metals. These precious metals investments earn no income return,  unlike savings
deposits,  bonds or even stocks which may produce  interest or dividend  income.
Transaction  and storage costs may be higher than costs  relating to the buying,
holding and selling of more traditional types of investments. An increase in the
market price of precious metals is the only way the Fund will be able to realize
a gain on these investments.

SETTLEMENT AND CUSTODY

      The Funds that  invest in foreign  securities,  especially  the  Lexington
Troika Dialog Russia Fund could be subject to risks not normally associated with
U.S.   investments  because  of  newly  developed  securities  markets  and  the
underdeveloped state of banking and telecommunications  systems. Russia does not
have a central registration system, therefore ownership of shares is recorded by
the companies  themselves and by registrars located throughout Russia.  Although
these  registrars  may be inspected,  it is possible  that the Fund's  ownership
rights could be lost through fraud,  negligence or even mere oversight on behalf


                                       40

the registrars,  and the Fund could experience  difficulty  enforcing any rights
against the registrar or issuer in the event of loss of share registration.  Due
to local  postal and  banking  standards,  there are risks  that the  payment of
dividends  or other  distributions  could be  delayed or lost.  Russian  banking
institutitons and registrars are not guaranteed by the state.

      In light of these risks,  the Board of Directors of the  Lexington  Troika
Dialog Russia Fund has approved  procedures  whereby the Fund will not invest in
the securities of a Russian company unless that company's  registrar has entered
into a contract with the Fund's  Sub-Custodian  Bank. This  protective  contract
gives the Sub-Custodian Bank the right to conduct regular share confirmations on
behalf of the Fund.  These  procedures  also require the  Sub-Custodian  Bank to
provide  certain  information  on a  periodic  basis to the  Board of  Directors
concerning the registration of shares and custody arrangements in Russia.

      The Manager also serves as the Funds' Administrator (the "Administrator").
The  Administrator  performs  services  with  regard to various  aspects of each
fund's administrative operations at cost.

      Each fund is responsible for its own operating expenses including, but not
limited  to:  the  Manager's  fees;  taxes,  if any;  brokerage  and  commission
expenses,   if  any;  interest  charges  on  any  borrowings;   transfer  agent,
administrator,  custodian,  legal and auditing fees;  shareholder servicing fees
including fees to third-party servicing agents; fees and expenses of Director or
Trustees  who are not  interested  persons of the  Manager;  salaries of certain
personnel;  costs and expenses of calculating  its daily net asset value;  costs
and expenses of accounting,  bookkeeping  and record keeping  required under the
Investment Company Act of 1940; insurance premiums; trade association dues; fees
and expenses of registering and maintaining  registration of its shares for sale
under federal and applicable  state  securities  laws; all costs associated with
shareholders  meetings and the preparation and dissemination of proxy materials,
except  for  meetings  called  solely  for the  benefit  of the  Manager  or its
affiliates;   printing  and  mailing  prospectuses,   statements  of  additional
information  and reports to  shareholders;  and other expenses  relating to that
fund's operations, plus any extraordinary and nonrecurring expenses that are not
expressly assumed by the Manager.

      For certain funds,  the Manager has agreed to reduce its management fee if
necessary  to keep total  annual  operating  expenses at or below the  following
percentages  of each fund's  average daily net assets.  Lexington  International
Fund, one and  three-quarters  percent (1.75%);  Lexington Ramirez Global Income
Fund, one and one-half  percent  (1.50%);  Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia Fund,
three and thirty-five one-hundredths of one percent (3.35%); and Lexington Money
Market  Trust,  one  percent  (1.00%).  The Manager  also may reduce  additional
amounts  in these or other of the  Funds  to  increase  the  return  to a fund's
investors. The Manager may terminate these voluntary reductions at any time.

      In addition,  the Manager may elect to absorb  operating  expenses  that a
fund is obligated to pay to increase the return to that fund's investors. If the
Manager  performs a service or assumes an operating  expense for which a fund is
obligated to pay and the  performance of such service or payment of such expense
is not an obligation of the Manager under the Investment  Management  Agreement,
the Manager is entitled to seek  reimbursement  from that fund for the Manager's
costs incurred in rendering  such service or assuming such expense.  The Manager
also may compensate  broker-dealers and other  intermediaries  that distribute a
fund's  shares  as  well  as  other  service   providers  of   shareholder   and
administrative  services.  The Manager may also sponsor seminars and educational
programs on the Funds for financial intermediaries and shareholders.

      The Manager  considers a number of factors in determining which brokers or
dealers to use for each fund's  portfolio  transactions.  Although these factors
are more fully  discussed  in the  Statement  of  Additional  Information,  they
include,  but are not  limited to,  reasonableness  of  commissions,  quality of
services,  and  execution  and  availability  of  research  that the Manager may
lawfully  and  appropriately  use  in its  investment  management  and  advisory
capacities.  Provided the Funds receive prompt execution at competitive  prices,
the  Manager  also  may  consider  the sale of a fund's  shares  as a factor  in
selecting broker-dealers for that fund's portfolio transactions.

      It is  anticipated  that Troika Dialog or  SocGen-Crosby  Securities  (HK)
Limited  may  act as two of the  Fund's  brokers  in the  purchase  and  sale of
portfolio securities and, in that capacity,  will receive brokerage  commissions
from the Funds.  The Funds will use Troika  Dialog or  SocGen-Crosby  Securities
(HK)  Limited as its broker  only when,  in the  judgement  of the  Manager  and
pursuant to review by the Boards of Directors,  Troika  Dialog or  SocGen-Crosby
Securities  (HK) Limited will obtain a price and execution at least as favorable
as that available from other qualified brokers. See "Portfolio  Transactions and
Brokerage Commissions" in the Statement of Additional Information.

                           HOW TO INVEST IN THE FUNDS

      The Funds' shares are offered directly to the public,  with no sales load,
at their next determined net asset value after receipt of an order with payment.
The Funds'  shares are offered for sale by State  Street Bank and Trust  Company
(the "Transfer Agent") and through selected securities brokers and dealers.

      If an order,  together  with  payment in proper  form,  is received by the
Transfer  Agent by 4:00 p.m.,  New York time, on any day that the New York Stock
Exchange  ("NYSE") is open for  trading,  fund shares will be  purchased  at the
fund's  next-determined  net asset value.  Orders for fund shares received after
the Funds' cutoff times will be purchased at the next-determined net asset value
after receipt of the order.

   
      The minimum  investment  in each fund is  described in this  section.  The
Manager or the  Distributor,  in its discretion,  may waive these minimums.  The
Funds do not accept third-party  checks or cash investments.  Third party checks
are defined as checks made payable to someone  other than the Fund.  Checks must
be in U.S. dollars and, to avoid fees and delays, drawn only on banks located in
the U.S. See the Statement of Additional Information for further details.

      By investing in the  Lexington  Funds,  you appoint the Transfer  Agent as
your agent to establish an open  account to which all shares  purchased  will be
credited, along with any dividends and capital gain distributions which are paid
in additional  shares (see "Dividends and  Distributions").  Stock  certificates
will be issued,  upon  written  request,  for full  shares of  Lexington  Funds.
Certificates  will not be issued for 30 days unless payment is made by certified
check, cashier's check or federal funds wire. In order to facilitate redemptions
and transfers, most shareholders elect not to receive certificates.

      You may purchase shares of the Lexington Funds through  broker-dealers  or
financial institutions that have selling agreements with LFD. Broker-dealers and
financial  institutions  that process such orders for customers may charge a fee
for their  services.  The fee may be avoided by purchasing  shares directly from
the Lexington Funds.

                    HOW TO REDEEM AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUNDS

   
      The Funds will  redeem  all or any  portion  of an  investors  outstanding
shares upon  request.  Redemptions  can be made on any day that the NYSE is open
for  trading.  The  redemption  price is the net  asset  value  per  share  next
determined after the shares are validly tendered for redemption and such request
is  received  by the  Transfer  Agent.  Payment of  redemption  proceeds is made
promptly  regardless of when  redemption  occurs and normally  within three days
after  receipt of all documents in proper form,  including a written  redemption
order with appropriate  signature guarantee.  Redemption proceeds will be mailed
or wired in accordance with the shareholders instructions. The Funds may suspend
the right of redemption under certain extraordinary  circumstances in accordance
with the rules of the SEC. In the case of shares purchased by check and redeemed
shortly after the purchase, the Transfer Agent will not mail redemption proceeds
until it has been  notified  that the  monies  used for the  purchase  have been
collected,  which may take up to 15 days from the purchase  date. You may redeem
shares of the Lexington Funds through  broker-dealers or financial  institutions
that have selling agreements with LFD. Broker-dealers and financial institutions
that process such orders for customers may charge a fee for their services.  The
fee may be avoided by redeeming shares directly from the Lexington Funds.

      A 2%  redemption  fee will be charged on the  redemption  of shares of the
Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia Fund held less than 365 days. The redemption fee
will not apply to shares  representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital
gains  distributions.  The  redemption  fee will be  applied on a share by share
basis using the "first  shares in, first shares out" (FIFO)  method.  Therefore,
the oldest shares are considered to have been sold first.

<PAGE>

       REDEEMING BY WRITTEN INSTRUCTION

     o    Write a letter giving your name,  account number, the name of the fund
          from  which  you wish to  redeem  and the  dollar  amount or number of
          shares you wish to redeem.

   
     o    Signature guarantee your letter if you want the redemption proceeds to
          go to a party other than the account owner(s), your predesignated bank
          account or if the dollar amount of the redemption exceeds $25,000. The
          Transfer Agent requires that the guarantor be either a commercial bank
          which is a member of the FederalDeposit Insurance Corporation, a trust
          company,  a savings and loan  association,  a savings  bank,  a credit
          union, a member firm of a domestic stock exchange, or a foreign branch
          of  any  of the  foregoing.  A  NOTARY  PUBLIC  IS  NOT AN  ACCEPTABLE
          GUARANTOR. CONTACT THE FUND FOR MORE INFORMATION.
    

     o    If a redemption  request is sent to the Fund in New Jersey, it will be
          forwarded to the Transfer  Agent and the effective  date of redemption
          will be the date received by the Transfer Agent.

   
     o    Checks for  redemption  proceeds  will normally be mailed within three
          business  days, but will not be mailed until all checks in payment for
          the shares to be redeemed have been cleared.  Shareholders  who redeem
          all their  shares will receive a check  representing  the value of the
          shares  redeemed  plus  the  accrued  dividends  through  the  date of
          redemption.  Where shareholders redeem only a portion of their shares,
          all  dividends  declared  but unpaid  will be  distribute  on the next
          dividend payment date. The Transfer Agent will restrict the mailing of
          redemption  proceeds to a shareholder address of record within 30 days
          of such  address  being  changed,  unless the  shareholder  provides a
          signature guaranteed letter of instruction.
    

       REDEEMING BY TELEPHONE

   
     o    Shares of the Funds may redeemed by telephone.  A telephone redemption
          in good order  will be  processed  at the net asset  value of the Fund
          next  determined.  There is a maximum  telephone  redemption  limit of
          $100,000.  Call the Fund  between  9 a.m.  and 4 p.m.  ET toll free at
          1-800-526-0056.
    

     o    A  redemption  authorization  and  signature  guarantee  must be given
          before  a   shareholder   may  redeem  by   telephone.   A  redemption
          authorization  form is  contained in the New Account  Application  and
          authorization forms may be obtained by calling the Funds.

   
     o    Shareholders  may elect on the redemption  authorization  form to have
          redemption  proceeds,  in any  amount  of $200 or more,  mailed to the
          registered  address  or to any  other  designated  person.  There is a
          minimum  of $1,000 to have your  Redemption  proceeds  wired to a bank
          account.  A new form must be completed whenever these instructions are
          revised.
    

                                       56
<PAGE>

   

     o    Telephone  redemption  privileges may be canceled by  instructing  the
          Transfer  Agent  in  writing.  Your  request  will be  processed  upon
          receipt.

     o    Telephone  Exchanges  may only  involve  shares held on deposit by the
          Transfer   Agent,   not  shares  held  in  certificate   form  by  the
          shareholder.

     o    Exchange/Redemption  by  telephone,   see  below   "Exchange/Telephone
          Privileges and Restrictions."

     REDEEMING BY CHECK

     o    Checkwriting is available on the Lexington Money Market Trust.
    

     o    The  minimum  amount  per check is $100 or more up to  $500,000  at no
          charge.  Checks  for  less  than  $100 or over  $500,000  will  not be
          honored.

     o    All checks require only one signature unless otherwise indicated.

     o    Checks will be returned to you at the end of each month.

     o    Redemption  checks are free, but a charge of $15.00 may be imposed for
          any stop payments requested.

     o    Redemption checks should not be used to close your account.

     o    Procedures for  redemptions by telephone,  at no charge,  or check may
          only be used for shares  for which  share  certificates  have not been
          issued,  and may not be used to redeem shares purchased by check which
          have been on the books of the Fund for less than 15 days.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

   
      Under a Systematic Withdrawal Plan, a shareholder with an account value of
$10,000 or more in a fund may receive (or have sent to a third  party)  periodic
payments (by check or wire). If the proceeds are to be mailed to a third party a
signature  guarantee is required.  The minimum  payment amount is $100 from each
fund  account.  Payments  may  be  made  monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annually  or
annually.  Systematic  withdrawals  occur on the 28th of each month. If the 28th
falls on a weekend  or  holiday,  the  withdrawal  will  occur on the  preceding
business day. Depending on the form of payment requested, shares may be redeemed
up to five  business  days before the  redemption  proceeds are  scheduled to be
received by the  shareholder.  The redemption  may result in the  recognition of
gain or loss for income tax purposes.

EXCHANGE/TELEPHONE REDEMPTION PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS

      Shares of the  Lexington  Funds may be exchanged  for shares of equivalent
value of any Lexington  Fund. If an exchange  involves  investing in a Lexington
Fund not already owned,  the dollar amount of the exchange must meet the minimum
initial  investment amount. An exchange may result, in a recognized gain or loss
for income tax purposes.  Exchanges  over $500,000 may take up to three business
days  to  complete.   See  the  discussion  of  fund  telephone  procedures  and
limitations of liability under "Telephone Transactions" above.
    

     PURCHASING AND REDEEMING SHARES BY EXCHANGE

   
     o    You may make exchange/redemption  requests in writing or by telephone.
          Telephone exchanges may only be made if you have completed a Telephone
          Authorization form.  Telephone exchanges may not be made within 7 days
          of a previous exchange.

     o    The minimum exchange  required is $500,  unless a new account is being
          established.

     o    Telephone  exchanges/redemptions  may  only  involve  shares  held  on
          deposit by the Transfer Agent,  not shares held in certificate form by
          the shareholder.

     o    Any new  account  established  by a  shareholder  will  also  have the
          privilege  of  exchange  by  telephone  in the  Lexington  Funds.  All
          accounts involved in a telephonic exchange must have the same dividend
          option as the account from which the shares are transferred.

     o    Telephone  redemption  privileges are not available on retirement plan
          accounts.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE/TELEPHONE REDEMPTION IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES

      You agree that neither LFD,  the  Transfer  Agent,  or the Fund(s) will be
liable for any loss,  expense or cost  arising out of any  requests  effected in
accordance  with this  authorization  which would include  requests  effected by
imposters or persons otherwise unauthorized to act on behalf of the account. The
above provision is subject to the procedures  outlined below.  LFD, the Transfer
Agent  and  the  Fund,  will  employ  reasonable   procedures  to  confirm  that
instructions  communicated  by  telephone  are genuine and if they do not employ
reasonable  procedures  they may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions.  The following  identification  procedures may include,
but are not limited to, the following: account number, registration and address,
taxpayer  identification number and other information particular to the account.
In addition,  all telephone exchange and telephone redemption  transactions will
take place on recorded telephone lines and each transaction will be confirmed in
    

                                       58
<PAGE>

   
writing by the Fund. If the  Shareholder  is an entity other than an individual,
such entity may be  required  to certify  that  certain  persons  have been duly
elected  and are now  legally  holding  the  titles  given  and  that  the  said
corporation,  trust,  unincorporated  association,  etc. is duly  organized  and
existing  and has  the  power  to  take  action  called  for by this  continuing
authorization.
    

                        HOW NET ASSET VALUE IS DETERMINED

      The net asset value of each Fund is determined once daily as of 4:00 p.m.,
New York  time,  on each day that the NYSE is open for  trading.  Per  share net
asset value is  calculated by dividing the value of each fund's total net assets
by the total number of that fund's shares then outstanding.

   
      As more  fully  described  in the  Statement  of  Additional  Information,
portfolio securities are valued using current market valuations: either the last
reported  sales  price  or,  in the case of  securities  for  which  there is no
reported last sale and fixed-income securities, the mean between the closing bid
and asked  price.  Securities  traded  over-the-counter  are  valued at the mean
between  the last  current  bid and asked  price.  Securities  for which  market
quotations  are not readily  available or which are illiquid are valued at their
fair  values as  determined  in good faith under the  supervision  of the Funds'
officers, and by the Manager and the Boards, in accordance with methods that are
specifically authorized by the Boards. Short-term obligations with maturities of
60 days or less are valued at amortized cost as reflecting fair value. When Fund
management deems it appropriate  prices obtained for the day of valuation from a
third party pricing service will be used to value portfolio securities.
    

      The value of securities  denominated  in foreign  currencies and traded on
foreign  exchanges or in foreign markets will be translated into U.S. dollars at
the last price of their respective  currency  denomination  against U.S. dollars
quoted by a major bank or, if no such  quotation  is  available,  at the rate of
exchange determined in accordance with policies established in good faith by the
Boards.  Because the value of securities  denominated in foreign currencies must
be translated into U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of such currencies in
relation  to the U.S.  dollar may affect the net asset value of fund shares even
without  any  change  in  the   foreign-currency   denominated  values  of  such
securities.

      Because  foreign  securities  markets may close before the Funds determine
their net asset  values,  events  affecting  the value of  portfolio  securities
occurring  between  the time  prices  are  determined  and the  time  the  Funds
calculate their net asset values may not be reflected unless the Manager,  under
supervision of the Board,  determines that a particular  event would  materially
affect a fund's net asset value.

DISTRIBUTION PLAN

   
     The Lexington  Convertible  Securities Fund, Lexington Goldfund,  Lexington
Growth and Income Fund,  Lexington  International Fund, Lexington Ramirez Global
Income Fund,  Lexington  SmallCap Value Fund and Lexington  Troika Dialog Russia
Fund have each adopted a Distribution  Plan. The Distribution Plan provides that
the  Funds  may pay  distribution  fees up to 0.25% of their  average  daily net
assets for distribution services.
    

SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGREEMENTS

   
      The  Lexington  Crosby Small Cap Asia Growth Fund,  Lexington  GNMA Income
Fund and Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund may enter into Shareholder
Servicing  Agreements  with  one  or  more  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents.  The
Shareholder Servicing Agents provide various services to shareholders. For these
services,  each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent  receives fees up to 0.25% of the
average  daily net assets of the Fund  represented  by shares  owned  during the
period for which  payment is made.  The Manager,  at no  additional  cost to the
Funds, may pay to Shareholder  Servicing Agents additional amounts from its past
profits.  Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent may, from time to time,  voluntarily
waive all or a portion of the fees payable to it.

TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS

      The Funds offers a Prototype Pension and Profit Sharing Plan,  including a
Keogh  Plan,  IRA's,  SEP-IRA's  and IRA  Rollover  Accounts,  401(k)  Plans and

                           DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

      Each fund distributes  substantially  all of its net investment income and
net capital gains to  shareholders  each year.  The amount and frequency of fund
distributions  are  not  guaranteed  and  are at the  discretion  of the  Board.
Currently,  the Lexington Funds intend to distribute  according to the following
schedule:

      Unless investors request cash distributions in writing,  all dividends and
other distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the
applicable  fund and  credited  to the  shareholders  account at the closing net
asset value on the reinvestment date.

DISTRIBUTIONS AFFECT A FUND'S NET ASSET VALUE

      Distributions are paid to you as of the record date of a distribution of a
fund,  regardless  of how long you have held the shares.  Dividends  and capital
gains awaiting  distribution  are included in each fund's daily net asset value.
The share  price of a fund  drops on the  ex-dividend  date by the amount of the
distribution,  net of any subsequent market  fluctuations.  For example,  assume
that on December 31, the Lexington Growth and Income Fund declared a dividend in
the amount of $0.50 per share.  If the Lexington  Growth and Income Fund's share
price was $10.00 on December  30, the Fund's share price on December 31 would be
$9.50, barring market fluctuations.

                                       61
<PAGE>

"BUYING A DIVIDEND"

      If you buy shares of a fund just before a  distribution,  you will pay the
full price for the shares and receive a portion of the purchase  price back as a
taxable distribution.  This is called "buying a dividend." In the example above,
if you bought  shares on December  30, you would have paid $10.00 per share.  On
December  31,  the Fund  would pay you $0.50  per share as a  dividend  and your
shares would now be worth $9.50 per share. Unless your account is a tax-deferred
account,  dividends  paid to you would be included in your gross  income for tax
purposes even though you may not have  participated in the increase of net asset
value of the Fund, regardless of whether you reinvested the dividends.

                                    TAXATION

      Each of the funds has  elected  and  intends to  continue to qualify to be
treated as a regulated  investment  company  under  Subchapter M of the Code, by
distributing  substantially  all of its net  investment  income and net  capital
gains to its shareholders and meeting other requirements of the Code relating to
the sources of its income and diversification of assets. Accordingly,  the Funds
generally  will not be liable for federal  income tax or excise tax based on net
income  except  to  the  extent  their  earnings  are  not  distributed  or  are
distributed in a manner that does not satisfy the requirements of the Code. If a
fund is unable to meet certain Code requirements,  it may be subject to taxation
as a  corporation.  Funds  investing  in foreign  securities  also may incur tax
liability to the extent they invest in "passive foreign  investment  companies."
See "Portfolio Securities" and the Statement of Additional Information.

      For federal income tax purposes, any dividends derived from net investment
income and any excess of net short-term  capital gain over net long-term capital
loss that investors (other than certain  tax-exempt  organizations that have not
borrowed to purchase fund shares) receive from the Funds are considered ordinary
income.  Part of the  distributions  paid by the Funds may be  eligible  for the
dividends-received  deduction allowed to corporate  shareholders under the Code.
Distributions  of the excess of net long-term  capital gain over net  short-term
capital  loss  from  transactions  of a fund  are  treated  by  shareholders  as
long-term  capital gains regardless of the length of time the fund's shares have
been owned.  Distributions  of income and capital  gains are taxed in the manner
described above,  whether they are taken in cash or are reinvested in additional
shares of the Funds.

                                       62
<PAGE>

      Each fund will inform its  investors of the source of their  dividends and
distributions  at the time they are paid,  and will promptly  after the close of
each calendar year advise investors of the tax status of those distributions and
dividends. Investors (including tax exempt and foreign investors) are advised to
consult their own tax advisers regarding the particular tax consequences to them
of an investment in shares of the Funds.  Additional  information on tax matters
relating to the Funds and their  shareholders  is included in the  Statement  of
Additional Information.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

THE FUNDS

   
      The Lexington  Convertible  Securities Fund,  Lexington Money Market Trust
and Lexington Ramirez Global Income Fund are business trusts organized under the
laws of  Massachusetts.  The  Lexington  Crosby  Small  Cap  Asia  Growth  Fund,
Lexington  Goldfund,  Lexington  GNMA Income Fund,  Lexington  Growth and Income
Fund,  Lexington  International Fund,  Lexington SmallCap Value Fund,  Lexington
Troika  Dialog  Russia Fund and Lexington  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets Fund are
Maryland  corporations.  The assets and  liabilities  of each business trust and
corporation  are  separate  and  distinct  from  each  other  business  trust or
corporation.
    

      The Funds may offer other classes of shares to eligible  investors and may
in the future designate other classes of shares for specific purposes.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

      Shares issued by the Funds have no preemptive,  conversion or subscription
rights. Each whole share is entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is
entitled  to vote  and each  fractional  share is  entitled  to a  proportionate
fractional  vote.  Shareholders  have equal and exclusive rights as to dividends
and  distributions  as  declared by each fund and to the net assets of each fund
upon liquidation or dissolution. Each fund votes separately on matters affecting
only that fund (e.g., approval of the Investment Management  Agreement).  Voting
rights are not cumulative,  so the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting
in any  election of Trustees or Directors  can, if they so choose,  elect all of
the Trustees or Directors of that Fund. Although the Funds are not required, and
do not intend,  to hold annual  meetings of  shareholders,  such meetings may be
called by each Fund's Board at its discretion,  or upon demand by the holders of
10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund for the purpose of electing or
removing  Trustees  or  Directors.   Shareholders  may  receive   assistance  in
communicating with other shareholders in connection with the election or removal
of Trustees or  Directors  pursuant to the  provisions  of Section  16(c) of the
Investment Company Act.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

      From time to time,  the Funds may publish their total return,  and, in the
case of certain funds,  current yield and tax equivalent yield in advertisements
and communications to investors. Total return information generally will include
a fund's  average  annual  compounded  rate of return  over the most recent four
calendar quarters and over the period from the fund's inception of operations. A
fund may also  advertise  aggregate  and average total return  information  over
different  periods of time. Each fund's average annual compounded rate of return
is determined by reference to a  hypothetical  $1,000  investment  that includes
capital  appreciation  and  depreciation  for the stated  period  according to a
specific  formula.  Aggregate  total return is calculated  in a similar  manner,
except that the results are not  annualized.  Total return  figures will reflect
all recurring charges against each fund's income.

      Current yield as prescribed  by the SEC is an annualized  percentage  rate
that reflects the change in value of a hypothetical  account based on the income
received from the fund during a 30-day period. It is computed by determining the
net  change,   excluding  capital  changes,  in  the  value  of  a  hypothetical
preexisting  account  having a  balance  of one  share at the  beginning  of the
period. A hypothetical  charge reflecting  deductions from shareholder  accounts
for  management  fees or shareholder  services fees, for example,  is subtracted
from the value of the account at the end of the period,  and the  difference  is
divided  by the value of the  account  at the  beginning  of the base  period to
obtain the base period return.  The result is then annualized.  See "Performance
Information" in the Statement of Additional Information.

   
      Comparative  performance  information  may be  used  from  time to time in
advertising  and marketing a Fund's  shares.  The  performance  information  may
include  data from  sources such as Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc. or major
market indices. Such comparative  performance  information will be stated in the
same terms in which the comparative data and indices are stated.

      Investment  results  of the  Funds  will  fluctuate  over  time,  and  any
representation  of the Funds' total return or current yield for any prior period
should not be considered as a  representation  of what an investors total return
or current yield may be in any future period.  The Funds' Annual Report contains
additional  performance  information  and is available  upon request and without
charge by calling (800) 526-0056.

CODE OF ETHICS

      The  Code of  Ethics  adopted  by the  Lexington  Funds  and  the  Manager
prohibits affiliated  personnel from engaging in personal investment  activities
which compete with or attempt to take advantage of the Funds' planned  portfolio
transactions.  The objective of the Funds' and the  Manager's  Code of Ethics is

    

                                       64
<PAGE>

   

that  the  operations  of the  Funds  and the  Manager  be  carried  out for the
exclusive benefit of the Fund's shareholders. The Funds and the Manager maintain
careful monitoring of compliance with the Code of Ethics.
LEGAL OPINION

      The  validity of shares  offered by this  Prospectus  will be passed on by
Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

SHAREHOLDER REPORTS AND INQUIRIES

      During the year, the Funds will send you the following information:

       o Confirmation statements are mailed after every transaction that affects
         your account balance,  including  preauthorized  automatic  investment,
         exchange and  redemption  transactions.  Lexington  Money Market Trust,
         Lexington  GNMA Income Fund and  Lexington  Ramirez  Global Income Fund
         provide quarterly  confirmation  statements  annually.  All other Funds
         will  provide  confirmation  statements  annually,  unless the  account
         balance is affected by any daily transactions. Shareholders  are  urged
         to retain  their  account  statements  for tax purposes.  
    

       o Annual and semi-annual  reports are mailed  approximately 60
         days after December 31 and June 30.

       o 1099 TAX FORM(S) ARE MAILED BY JANUARY 31.

      Unless otherwise  requested,  only one copy of each shareholder  report or
other  material  sent to  shareholders  will be  mailed to each  household  with
accounts under common ownership and the same address regardless of the number of
shareholders or accounts at that household or address.  Any questions  should be
directed to The Lexington Funds at (800) 526-0056.

                               BACK-UP WITHHOLDING

   
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN)

      Be sure to complete  the  Taxpayer  Identification  Number  section of the
fund's  application when you open an account.  Federal tax law requires the fund
to withhold 31% of taxable dividends, capital gains distributions and redemption
and exchange  proceeds from accounts (other than those of certain exempt payees)
without a  certified  Social  Security  or  taxpayer  identification  number and
certain  other  certified  information  or upon  notification  from the IRS or a
broker that withholding is required.
    

      A shareholder  who does not have a TIN should apply for one immediately by
contacting the local office of the Social  Security  Administration  or the IRS.
Back-up withholding could apply to payments made to a shareholders account while
awaiting  receipt  of a TIN.  Special  rules  apply for  certain  entities.  For

                                       65
<PAGE>

example,  for an account  established under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the
TIN of the minor should be furnished.  If a shareholder has been notified by the
IRS that he or she is subject to back-up withholding because he or she failed to
report  all  interest  and  dividend  income  on his or her tax  return  and the
shareholder has not been notified by the IRS that such  withholding  will cease,
the  shareholder   should  cross  out  the  appropriate   item  in  the  Account
Application.  Dividends paid to a foreign shareholder's account by a fund may be
subject to up to 30% withholding instead of back-up withholding.

      A shareholder  who is an exempt  recipient  should furnish a TIN and check
the appropriate box. Exempt  recipients  include certain  corporations,  certain
tax-exempt entities,  tax-exempt pension plans and IRAs,  governmental agencies,
financial  institutions,  registered  securities  and  commodities  dealers  and
others. For further information,  see Section 3406 of the Code and consult a tax
adviser.

                           --------------------------


      THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFERING OF THE SECURITIES  HEREIN  DESCRIBED IN
ANY STATE IN WHICH THE OFFERING IS UNAUTHORIZED. NO SALESPERSON, DEALER OR OTHER
PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY  INFORMATION OR MAKE ANY  REPRESENTATION  OTHER
THAN  THOSE   CONTAINED  IN  THIS   PROSPECTUS,   THE  STATEMENT  OF  ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION, OR IN THE FUNDS' OFFICIAL SALES LITERATURE.

                           --------------------------

                                    GLOSSARY

O CASH   EQUIVALENTS.   Cash   equivalents  are   short-term,   interest-bearing
  instruments  or deposits  and may  include,  for  example,  commercial  paper,
  certificates of deposit,  repurchase  agreements,  bankers' acceptances,  U.S.
  Treasury Bills,  bank money market deposit  accounts,  master demand notes and
  money market mutual funds.  These consist of  high-quality  debt  obligations,
  certificates of deposit and bankers'  acceptances rated at least A-1 by S&P or
  Prime1 by Moody's,  or the issuer has an outstanding  issue of debt securities
  rated  at  least A by S&P or  Moody's,  or are of  comparable  quality  in the
  opinion of the Manager.

   
O COLLATERAL  ASSETS.  Collateral assets include cash,  letters of credit,  U.S.
  government  securities or other  high-grade  liquid debt or equity  securities
  (except that instruments  collateralizing loans by the Money Market Funds must
  be  debt  securities  rated  in the  highest  grade).  Collateral  assets  are
  separately identified and rendered unavailable for investment or sale.
    

O CONVERTIBLE  SECURITY.  A convertible  security is a fixed-income  security (a
  bond or  preferred  stock) that may be  converted  at a stated  price within a
  specified  period of time into a certain  quantity of the common  stock of the

                                       66
<PAGE>

  same or a different issuer.  Convertible securities are senior to common stock
  in a corporation's  capital structure but are usually  subordinated to similar
  non-convertible  securities. The price of a convertible security is influenced
  by the market value of the underlying common stock.

O COVERED  CALL  OPTION.  A call  option  is  "covered"  if the  fund  owns  the
  underlying  securities,  has the  right to  acquire  such  securities  without
  additional  consideration,  has  collateral  assets  sufficient  to  meet  its
  obligations under the option or owns an off setting call option.

O COVERED PUT OPTION.  A put option is "covered"  if  the  fund  has  collateral
  assets with a value not less than the exercise price  of  the option  or holds
  a put option on the underlying security.

   
O DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS.  Depository receipts include American depository receipts
  ("ADRs"),  European depository  receipts ("EDRs"),  global depository receipts
  ("GDRs")  and other  similar  instruments.  Depository  receipts  are receipts
  typically  issued in  connection  with a U.S. or foreign bank or trust company
  and  evidence   ownership  of  underlying   securities  issued  by  a  foreign
  corporation.
    

O DERIVATIVES.  Derivatives include forward currency exchange  contracts,  stock
  options,  currency options,  stock and stock index options,  futures contracts
  and swaps and  options on futures  contracts  on U.S.  government  and foreign
  government securities and currencies.

O DOLLAR ROLL  TRANSACTION.  A dollar roll  transaction is similar to  a reverse
  repurchase  agreement except it requires a fund to repurchase a similar rather
  than the same security.

   
O DURATION. A time measure of a bond's interest-rate  sensitivity,  based on the
  weighted  average of the time periods over which a bond's cash flows accrue to
  the bondholder.  Time periods are weighted by multiplying by the present value
  of its cash flow divided by the bond's  price.  (A bonds cash flows consist of
  coupon  payments  and  repayment of capital).  A bond's  duration  will almost
  always be shorter than its maturity,  with the exception of zero-coupon bonds,
  for which maturity and duration are equal.
    

O EMERGING  MARKET  COMPANIES.  A company is considered to be an emerging market
  company if its securities are  principally  traded in the capital market of an
  emerging  market  country;  it derives at least 50% of its total  revenue from
  either goods  produced or services  rendered in emerging  market  countries or
  from sales made in such  emerging  market  countries,  regardless of where the
  securities of such companies are principally  traded; or it is organized under
  the laws of, and with a principal  office in, an emerging market  country.  An
  emerging  market country is one having an economy and market that are or would

                                       67
<PAGE>

  be  considered  by the World Bank or the  United  Nations  to be  emerging  or
  developing.

O EQUITY DERIVATIVE  SECURITIES.  These include,  among other things, options on
equity securities, warrants and future contracts on equity securities.

O EQUITY SWAPS.  Equity swaps allow the parties to exchange the dividend  income
  or other components of return on an equity investment (e.g., a group of equity
  securities  or an index) for a component  of return on another  non-equity  or
  equity  investment.  Equity swaps  transitions may be volatile and may present
  the fund with counterparty risks.

O FHLMC. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

O FNMA. The Federal National Mortgage Association.

O FORWARD  CURRENCY  CONTRACTS.  A  forward  currency  contract  is  a  contract
  individually  negotiated  and privately  traded by currency  traders and their
  customers and creates an  obligation  to purchase or sell a specific  currency
  for an agreed-upon  price at a future date.  The Funds  generally do not enter
  into forward  contracts  with terms  greater  than one year. A fund  generally
  enters into forward contracts only under two  circumstances.  First, if a fund
  enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a
  foreign  currency,  it may  desire to "lock in" the U.S.  dollar  price of the
  security  by entering  into a forward  contract to buy the amount of a foreign
  currency needed to settle the  transaction.  Second,  if the Manager  believes
  that the currency of a particular  foreign country will  substantially rise or
  fall against the U.S.  dollar,  it may enter into a forward contract to buy or
  sell the currency approximating the value of some or all of a fund's portfolio
  securities  denominated in such currency. A fund will not enter into a forward
  contract  if, as a result,  it would have more than  one-third of total assets
  committed to such contracts  (unless it owns the currency that it is obligated
  to deliver or has caused its custodian to segregate segregable assets having a
  value sufficient to cover its  obligations).  Although  forward  contracts are
  used primarily to protect a fund from adverse currency movements, they involve
  the risk that currency movements will not be accurately predicted.

O FUTURES AND  OPTIONS ON  FUTURES.  An  interest  rate  futures  contract is an
  agreement  to  purchase  or sell  debt  securities,  usually  U.S.  government
  securities,  at a  specified  date and  price.  For  example,  a fund may sell
  interest rate futures  contracts (i.e.,  enter into a futures contract to sell
  the  underlying  debt  security) in an attempt to hedge against an anticipated
  increase in interest rates and a  corresponding  decline in debt securities it
  owns. Each fund will have collateral assets equal to the purchase price of the
  portfolio  securities  represented  by the  underlying  interest  rate futures
  contracts it has an obligation to purchase.

                                       68
<PAGE>


O GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association.

O HIGHLY RATED DEBT SECURITIES.  Debt securities rated within the three  highest
  grades by Standard & Poor's Corporation  ("S&P") (AAA to A), Moodys  Investors
  Services,  Inc. ("Moody's")  (Aaa  to A)  or  Fitch  Investor  Services,  Inc.
  ("Fitch") (AAA to A), or in unrated debt securities deemed to be of comparable
  quality by the Manager using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. See
  the Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information for a  description  of
  these ratings.

O ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Funds treat any securities subject to restrictions on
  repatriation  for more than seven days,  and  securities  issued in connection
  with foreign debt conversion  programs that are restricted as to remittance of
  invested  capital  or profit,  as  illiquid.  The Funds also treat  repurchase
  agreements  with  maturities  in excess of seven  days as  illiquid.  Illiquid
  securities  do not include  securities  that are  restricted  from  trading on
  formal markets for some period of time but for which an active informal market
  exists,  or  securities  that meet the  requirements  of Rule  144A  under the
  Securities Act of 1933 and that, subject to the review by the Funds' Board and
  guidelines  adopted by the Funds'  Board,  the  Manager has  determined  to be
  liquid.

O INVESTMENT GRADE.  Investment grade debt securities are those rated within the
  four highest grades by S&P (at least BBB), Moody's (at least Baa) or Fitch (at
  least Baa) or in unrated debt securities deemed to be of comparable quality by
  the Manager using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees.

O LEVERAGE.  Some  funds  may use  leverage  in an effort  to  increase  return.
  Although  leverage  creates an opportunity  for increased  income and gain, it
  also creates special risk  considerations.  Leveraging  also creates  interest
  expenses that can exceed the income from the assets retained.

   
O OPTIONS ON SECURITIES,  SECURITIES INDICES AND CURRENCIES. A fund may purchase
  call options on  securities  that it intends to purchase (or on  currencies in
  which  those  securities  are  denominated)  in order  to limit  the risk of a
  substantial  increase  in the  market  price of such  security  (or an adverse
  movement  in the  applicable  currency).  A fund may  purchase  put options on
  particular  securities  (or  on  currencies  in  which  those  securities  are
  denominated)  in order to protect against a decline in the market value of the
  underlying  security  below the  exercise  price less the premium paid for the
  option (or an adverse movement in the applicable currency relative to the U.S.
  dollar).  Prior to  expiration,  most  options  are  expected  to be sold in a
  closing  sale  transaction.  Profit or loss from the sale depends upon whether
  the amount  received  is more or less than the premium  paid plus  transaction
  costs.  A fund may purchase put and call options on stock  indices in order to

                                       69

  hedge against risks of stock market or industry wide stock price fluctuations.
    

O PARTICIPATION  INTERESTS.  Participation  interests  are  issued by  financial
  institutions  and  represent  undivided  interests  in  municipal  securities.
  Participation  interests  may  have  fixed,  floating  or  variable  rates  of
  interest.  Some participation interests are subject to a "nonappropriation" or
  "abatement"  feature by which,  under  certain  conditions,  the issuer of the
  underlying  municipal  security,  without  penalty,  may terminate its payment
  obligation. In such event, the Funds must look to the underlying collateral.

O REPURCHASE  AGREEMENT.  With a repurchase  agreement,  a fund  acquires a U.S.
  government  security or other high-grade liquid debt instrument (for the Money
  Market  Funds,  the  instrument  must be rated in the  highest  grade)  from a
  financial  institution  that  simultaneously  agrees  to  repurchase  the same
  security at a specified time and price.

O REVERSE  DOLLAR ROLL  TRANSACTIONS.  When a fund  engages in a reverse  dollar
  roll, it purchases a security from a financial  institution  and  concurrently
  agrees to resell a similar  security to that institution at a later date at an
  agreed-upon price.

O REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT.  In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells
  to a financial  institution  a security that it holds and agrees to repurchase
  the same security at an agreed-upon price and date.

O RUSSIA. "Russia" refers to the Russian  Federation,  which  does  not  include
  other countries that formerly comprised the Soviet Union.

O RUSSIAN COMPANY.  "Russian Company" means a legal entity (i) that is organized
  under the laws of, or with a principal  office and domicile in,  Russia,  (ii)
  for which the principal  equity  securities  trading  market is in Russia,  or
  (iii) that derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced
  or sold,  investments  made, or services  performed,  in Russia or that has at
  least 50% of its assets situated in Russia.

O SECURITIES  LENDING. A fund may lend securities to brokers,  dealers and other
  financial   organizations.   Each  securities  loan  is  collateralized   with
  collateral  assets in an amount at least equal to the current  market value of
  the loaned  securities,  plus  accrued  interest.  There is a risk of delay in
  receiving  collateral or in recovering the securities loaned or even a loss of
  rights in collateral should the borrower fail financially.

O S&P 500. Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

O U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES.  These include U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds
  and other obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  government,  its

                                       70
<PAGE>

  agencies or instrumentalities.

O WARRANT.  A warrant typically is a long-term option that permits the holder to
  buy a specified number of shares of the issuer's  underlying common stock at a
  specified  exercise  price by a  particular  expiration  date.  A warrant  not
  exercised or disposed of by its expiration date expires worthless.

O WHEN-ISSUED  AND FORWARD  COMMITMENT  SECURITIES.  The Funds may purchase U.S.
  government or other  securities on a  "when-issued"  basis and may purchase or
  sell securities on a "forward  commitment" or "delayed  delivery"  basis.  The
  price is fixed at the time the  commitment  is made,  but delivery and payment
  for the  securities  take place at a later date.  When-issued  securities  and
  forward  commitments may be sold prior to the settlement date, but a fund will
  enter into  when-issued  and forward  commitments  only with the  intention of
  actually  receiving  or  delivering  the  securities.  No  income  accrues  on
  securities that have been purchased  pursuant to a forward  commitment or on a
  when-issued  basis prior to delivery to a fund. At the time a fund enters into
  a transaction on a when-issued or forward  commitment  basis,  it supports its
  obligation  with  collateral  assets equal to the value of the  when-issued or
  forward commitment securities and causes the collateral assets to be marked to
  market  daily.  There is a risk that the  securities  may not be delivered and
  that the fund may incur a loss.

O ZERO COUPON  BONDS.  Zero coupon  bonds are debt  obligations  that do not pay
  current  interest and are consequently  issued at a significant  discount from
  face value. The discount approximates the total interest the bonds will accrue
  and compound over the period to maturity or the first interest-payment date at
  a rate of  interest  reflecting  the market  rate of  interest  at the time of
  issuance.

                       INVESTMENT POLICY AND RESTRICTIONS

    The Fund's  principal  investment  objective  is long term  appreciation  of
capital.  Income return is a secondary objective.  The Fund shall not: (i) issue
senior securities;  (ii) underwrite securities of other issuers;  (iii) purchase
or sell real estate,  commodity contracts or commodities (however,  the Fund may
purchase  interests  in real  estate  investment  trusts  whose  securities  are
registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 and are readily  marketable);  (iv)
make loans to other  persons  except (a)  through  the  purchase of a portion or
portions of publicly  distributed  bonds,  notes,  debentures  and  evidences of
indebtedness  authorized by its investment policy, or (b) through investments in
"repurchase  agreements" (which are arrangements under which the Fund acquires a
debt security subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase it at a fixed
price  within a short  period),  provided  that no more  than 10% of the  Fund's
assets may be invested in repurchase  agreements which mature in more than seven
days;  (v) purchase the securities of another  investment  company or investment
trust except in the open market where no profit  results to a sponsor or dealer,
other than the  customary  broker's  commission;  (vi)  purchase any security on
margin or effect a short sale of a security;  (vii) buy securities  from or sell
securities  to any of its officers and  directors of the  investment  adviser or
principal  distributor  as  principal;  (viii)  contract to sell any security or
evidence of interest  therein  except to the extent that the same shall be owned
by the  Fund;  (ix)  retain  securities  of an  issuer  when  one or more of the
officers and directors of the Fund or the investment  adviser or a person owning
more than 10% of the stock of  either,  own  beneficially  more than 0.5% of the
securities  of such  issuer  and  the  persons  owning  more  than  0.5% of such
securities  together own  beneficially  more than 5% of the  securities  of such
issuer;  (x)  invest  more  than 5% of the  value  of its  total  assets  in the
securities of any one issuer nor acquire more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities  of any one  issuer;  (xi)  invest in  companies  for the  purpose of
exercising  management or control;  or (xii)  concentrate  its  investments in a
particular industry; thus the Fund will not purchase a security if the immediate
effect  of such  purchase  would be to  increase  the  Fund's  holdings  in such
industry above 25% of the Fund's assets.

    The Fund  shareholder  vote  required  for  modification  of its  investment
policies  or  restrictions  is the  lesser  of:  (a) 67% or  more of the  voting
securities  present at a meeting if the  holders of more than 50% are present or
represented by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the voting securities.

   
    In addition to the above fundamental investment  restrictions,  the Fund has
undertaken not to: a) invest an aggregate of more than 5% of its total assets in
the securities of unseasoned  issuers and equity securities of issuers which are
not readily marketable;  b) invest in puts, calls,  straddles,  spreads, and any
combination  thereof;  or c) pledge,  mortgage or hypothecate  the assets of the
Fund to an  extent  greater  than 15% of the gross  assets of the Fund  taken at
cost.
    

    The Fund has  authority  to  borrow  money  from a bank not in excess of the
lesser of: (a) 5% of the gross assets of the Fund at the current market value at
the time of such borrowing;  or (b) 10% of the gross assets of the Fund taken at
cost.  Any such  borrowing  may be  undertaken  only as a temporary  measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes. This borrowing power has not been exercised
by the Fund's management.

   
    The Fund's investment portfolio may include repurchase  agreements ("repos")
with banks and dealers in U.S.  Government  securities.  A repurchase  agreement
involves the  purchase by the Fund of an  investment  contract  from a bank or a
dealer  in  U.S.  Government  securities  which  contract  is  secured  by  debt
securities  whose value is equal to or greater than the value of the  repurchase
agreement  including the agreed upon interest.  The agreement  provides that the
institution will repurchase the underlying securities at an agreed upon time and
price.  The total amount  received on repurchase  would exceed the price paid by
the Fund,  reflecting  an agreed upon rate of  interest  for the period from the
date of the  repurchase  agreement  to the  settlement  date,  and  would not be
related  to the  interest  rate on the  underlying  securities.  The  difference
between the total amount to be received upon the  repurchase  of the  securities
and the price  paid by the Fund  upon  their  acquisition  is  accrued  daily as
interest. If the institution defaults on the repurchase agreement, the Fund will
retain  possession  of the  underlying  securities.  In addition,  if bankruptcy
proceedings  are  commenced  with  respect  to the  seller,  realization  on the
collateral  by the Fund  may be  delayed  or  limited  and the  Fund  may  incur
additional costs. In such case the Fund will be subject to risks associated with
changes in the market value of the  collateral  securities.  The Fund intends to
limit repurchase agreements to transactions with institutions believed by LMC to
present  minimal  credit risk.  The 5%  diversification  limitation set forth in
subparagraph (x) above does not apply to obligations  issued or guaranteed as to
principal  and interest by the United  States  Government,  nor does it apply to
bank certificates of deposit, which are not classified by the Fund as securities
for the purposes of this limitation.
    

                INVESTMENT ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR

    LMC, P.O. Box 1515/Park 80 West Plaza Two, Saddle Brook,  N.J. 07663, is the
investment adviser to the Fund, and, as such, advises and makes  recommendations
to the Fund with respect to its investments and investments policies.

                                       2
<PAGE>

    LMC is paid an  investment  advisory  fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the
net assets of the Fund up to $100 million; 0.60% of such value in excess of $100
million up to $150 million;  0.50% of such value in excess of $150 million up to
$250  million;  and 0.40% of such value in excess of $250  million.  This fee is
computed on the basis of the Fund's  daily net assets and is payable on the last
business day of each month.

    Under the terms of the advisory  agreement LMC also pays the Fund's expenses
for office rent, utilities,  telephone,  furniture and supplies utilized for the
Fund's  principal  office and the salaries  and payroll  expense of officers and
directors of the Fund who are employees of LMC or its affiliates in carrying out
its duties under the investment advisory agreement.  The Fund pays all its other
expenses,  including  custodian and transfer agent fees,  legal and registration
fees,   audit  fees,   printing  of   prospectuses,   shareholder   reports  and
communications  required for regulatory purposes or for distribution to existing
shareholders, computation of net asset value, mailing of shareholder reports and
communications,  portfolio brokerage, taxes and independent directors' fees, and
furnishes  LFD,  at  printers  overrun  cost  paid by LFD,  such  copies  of its
prospectus,  annual, semi-annual and other reports and shareholder communication
as may be reasonably required for sales purposes.

    LMC must also  reimburse the Fund to the extent that all of the Fund's other
expenses (including the investment advisory fee) exclusive of interest and taxes
exceeding  2.5% of the first $30 million of the Fund's average daily net assets,
plus 2.0% of the next $70  million,  plus 1.5% of the Fund's  average  daily net
assets of $100  million.  In the event  that the  Fund's  expenses  exceed  such
limitation  at any month end, the  investment  advisory fee paid by the Fund for
such month is reduced  accordingly.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
no expense reimbursement was required.

    LMC's services are provided and its investment advisory fee is paid pursuant
to an agreement which will automatically  terminate if assigned and which may be
terminated by either party upon 60 days' notice.  The terms of the agreement and
any renewal thereof must be approved  annually by a majority of the Fund's Board
of  Directors,  including  a majority  of  directors  who are not parties to the
Agreement or "interested persons" of such parties, as such term is defined under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

    LMC serves as investment  adviser to other investment  companies and private
and institutional investment accounts.  Included among these clients are persons
and organizations which own significant amounts of capital stock of LMC's parent
(see below).  These clients pay fees which LMC  considers  comparable to the fee
levels for similarly served clients.

    LMC's  accounts are managed  independently  with reference to the applicable
investment  objectives and current security holdings,  but on occasion more than
one fund or  counsel  account  may seek to  engage in  transactions  in the same
security at the same time. To the extent practicable,  such transactions will be
effected  on a  pro-rata  basis  in  proportion  to the  respective  amounts  of
securities  to be  bought  and  sold  for  each  portfolio,  and  the  allocated
transactions  will be averaged as to price.  While this  procedure may adversely
affect the price or volume of a given Fund  transaction,  LMC believes  that the
ability  of the Fund to  participate  in  combined  transactions  may  generally
produce better executions overall.

virtue of being  officers,  directors or employees  thereof.  As of February 28,
1997,  all  officers  and  directors  of the Fund as a group owned of record and
beneficially less than 1% of the capital stock of the Fund.
    

    LMC  also  acts  as   administrator   to  the  Fund  and  performs   certain
administrative and internal accounting  services,  including but not limited to,
maintaining  general  ledger  accounts,  regulatory  compliance,  preparation of
financial information for semiannual and annual reports,  preparing registration
statements,   calculating  net  asset  values,  shareholder  communications  and
supervision of the custodian of, transfer agent and provides facilities for such
services.  The Fund shall  reimburse  LMC for its actual cost in providing  such
services, facilities and expenses.

    LMC  and  LFD  are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  Lexington  Global  Asset
Managers,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation with offices at Park 80 West Plaza Two,
Saddle Brook, New Jersey 07663. Descendants of Lunsford Richardson, Sr.,


                                       3
<PAGE>

their spouses,  trusts and other related entities have a majority voting control
of outstanding shares of Lexington Global Asset Managers, Inc.

    LFD  also  serves  as  distributor  for  Fund  shares  under a  Distribution
Agreement  which is subject to annual approval by a majority of the Fund's Board
of  Directors,  including  a  majority  of  directors  who are  not  "interested
persons".

   
                 PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE COMMISSONS

    The Fund's primary policy is to execute all purchases and sales of portfolio
instruments  at the  most  favorable  prices  consistent  with  best  execution,
considering all of the costs of the transaction including brokerage commissions.
This policy governs the selection of brokers and dealers and the market in which
a  transaction  is  executed.  Consistent  with this  policy,  the Rules of Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and such other
policies as the Directors may determine, LMC may consider sales of shares of the
Fund  and  of the  other  Lexington  Funds  as a  factor  in  the  selection  of
broker-dealers to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions.  However,  pursuant
to the Fund's investment management agreement,  management  consideration may be
given in the selection of broker-dealers to research provided and payment may be
made of a  commission  higher than that charged by another  broker-dealer  which
does not furnish research  services or which furnishes  research services deemed
to be a lesser value, so long as the criteria of Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 are met.  Section 28 (e) of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934 was adopted in 1975 and specifies that a person with investment  discretion
shall not be "deemed to have acted  unlawfully  or to have  breached a fiduciary
duty" solely because such person has caused the account to pay higher commission
than the lowest available under certain circumstances,  provided that the person
so exercising  investment  discretion makes a good faith  determination that the
person so commissions  paid are  "reasonable in the relation to the value of the
brokerage  and  research  services  provided...viewed  in terms of  either  that
particular  transaction  or his  overall  responsibilities  with  respect to the
accounts as to which he exercises investment discretion."

    Currently,  it is not possible to determine the extent to which  commissions
that reflect an element of value for research  services  ("soft  dollars") might
exceed  commissions  that would be payable for executions  services  alone.  Nor
generally can the value of research  services to the Fund be measured.  Research
services  furnished might be useful and of value to LMC and its  affiliates,  in
serving  other  clients as well as the Fund.  On the other  hand,  any  research
services  obtained by LMC or its  affiliates  from the  placement  of  portfolio
brokerage of other  clients  might be useful and of value to LMC in carrying out
its obligations to the Fund.

    The Fund anticipates that its brokerage transactions involving securities of
companies  domiciled in countries  other than the United States will normally be
conducted on the principal stock exchanges of those countries. Fixed commissions
of foreign stock exchange  transactions are generally higher than the negotiated
commission  rates  available  in the  United  States.  There is  generally  less
government   supervision   and   regulation  of  foreign  stock   exchanges  and
broker-dealers than in the United States.

The Fund paid brokerage commissions and portfolio turnover rates are as follows:

                           Total Brokerage    Soft Dollar    Portfolio Turnover
                             Commissions    Commissions Paid        Rate

                         TAX SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS

    The Fund makes  available a variety of Prototype  Pension and Profit Sharing
Plans  including  a 401(k)  Salary  Reduction  Plan and a 403(b)(7)  Plan.  Plan
services are available by contacting the Shareholder  Services Department of the
Distributor at 1-800-526-0056.

   
    INDIVIDUAL  RETIREMENT  ACCOUNT (IRA):  Individuals  may make tax deductible
contributions  to their own Individual  Retirement  Accounts  established  under
Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  Married investors filing
a joint return neither of whom is an active participant in an employer sponsored
retirement  plan,  or who have an  adjusted  gross  income  of  $40,000  or less
($25,000 or less for single  taxpayers) may make a $2,000 annual  deductible IRA
contribution.  For  adjusted  gross  incomes  over  $40,000  ($25,000 for single
taxpayers),  the IRA  deduction  limit is generally  phased out ratably over the
next $10,000 of adjusted  gross  income,  subject to a minimum  $200  deductible
contribution.   Investors  who  are  not  able  to  deduct  a  full  $2,000  IRA
contribution because of the
    

                                       4
<PAGE>

limitations may make a non-deductible  contribution to their IRA to the extent a
deductible  contribution  is not allowed.  Federal  income tax on  accumulations
earned on  non-deductible  contributions  is  deferred  until such time as these
amounts are deemed  distributed  to an investor.  Rollovers  are also  permitted
under the Plan.  The  Disclosure  statement  required  by the  Internal  Revenue
Service ("IRS") is provided by the Fund.

    The minimum initial investment to establish a tax-sheltered plan through the
Fund is $250 for both Keogh  Plans and IRA  Plans.  Subsequent  investments  are
subject to a minimum of $50 for each account.

   
    SELF-EMPLOYED  RETIREMENT PLAN (HR-10):  Self-employed  individuals may make
tax deductible contributions to a prototype defined contribution pension plan or
profit sharing plan. There are,  however,  a number of special rules which apply
when  self-employed  individuals  participate in such plans.  Currently purchase
payments under a  self-employed  plan are  deductible  only to the extent of the
lesser of (i) $30,000 or (ii) 25% of the  individual's  earned annual income (as
defined in the Code) and in applying these limitations not more than $150,000 of
"earned income" may be taken into account.
    

    CORPORATE  PENSION  AND PROFIT  SHARING  PLANS:  The Fund makes  available a
Prototype Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Prototype Profit Sharing Plan.

    All  purchases  and  redemptions  of Fund shares  pursuant to any one of the
Fund's tax sheltered plans must be carried out in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan. Accordingly, all plan documents should be reviewed carefully before
adopting or  enrolling  in the plan.  Investors  should  especially  note that a
penalty  tax of 10%  may  be  imposed  by the  IRS on  early  withdrawals  under
corporate,  Keogh or IRA Plans.  It is  recommended  by the IRS that an investor
consult a tax adviser  before  investing in the Fund through any of these plans.
An investor  participating  in any of the Fund's special plans has no obligation
to  continue to invest in the Fund and may  terminate  the Plan with the Fund at
any  time.   Except  for  expenses  of  sales  and   promotion,   executive  and
administrative  personnel,  and certain services which are furnished by LMC, the
cost of the  plans  generally  is borne by the Fund;  however,  each IRA Plan is
subject to an annual maintenance fee of $10.00 charged by the Agent.

                 DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND REINVESTMENT POLICY

    The Fund intends to pay quarterly dividends from investment income after the
close of each quarter, if earned and as declared by its Board of Directors.  The
Board of Directors  may, at its  discretion,  elect to retain or declare and pay
distributions from any realized security profits.

    Any  dividends  and  distribution  payments  will be reinvested at net asset
value,  without sales charge,  in additional  full and fractional  shares of the
Fund  unless and until the  shareholder  notifies  State  Street  Bank and Trust
Company (the  "Agent") in writing that he wants to receive his payments in cash.
This  request  must be  received  by the Agent at least  seven  days  before the
dividend  record date.  Upon receipt by the Agent of such  written  notice,  all
further  payments will be made in cash until  written  notice to the contrary is
received. An account of such shares owned by each shareholder will be maintained
by the Agent.

    Shareholders  whose  accounts are maintained by the Agent will have the same
rights as other  shareholders  with respect to shares so registered (see "How to
Purchase Shares - The Open Account" in the Prospectus).

                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

    The Fund has adopted a  Distribution  Plan (the "Plan") in  accordance  with
Rule 12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  which  provides that the
Fund may pay  distribution  fees including  payments to the  Distributor,  at an
annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of its average daily net assets for distribution
services.

    Distribution  payments will be made as follows:  The Fund either directly or
through the Adviser, may make payments periodically (i) to the Distributor or to
any  broker-dealer (a "Broker") who is registered under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934  and a  member  in good  standing  of the  National  Association  of
Securities  Dealers,  Inc. and who has entered into a Selected Dealer  Agreement
with  the  Distributor,  (ii) to  other  persons  or  organizations  ("Servicing
Agents") who have entered into  shareholder  processing  and service  agreements
with the Adviser or with the  Distributor,  with respect to Fund shares owned by
shareholders  for which  such  Broker is the  dealer or holder of record or such
servicing agent has a servicing  relationship,  or (iii) for expenses associated
with  distribution  of Fund  shares,  including  the  compensation  of the sales
personnel of the Distributor;  payments of no more than an effective annual rate
of 0.25%,  or such lesser  amounts as the  Distributor  determines  appropriate.
Payments may also be made for any advertising and promotional  expenses relating
to  selling  efforts,  including  but not  limited to the  incremental  costs of
printing prospectuses,  statements of additional information, annual reports and
other periodic  reports for  distribution to persons who are not shareholders of
the Fund; the costs of preparing and distributing any other  supplemental  sales


                                       5
<PAGE>

literature;  costs  of  radio,  television,  newspaper  and  other  advertising;
telecommunications expenses,  including the cost of telephones,  telephone lines
and  other  communications  equipment,  incurred  by or for the  Distributor  in
carrying out its obligations under the Distribution Agreement.

    Quarterly,  in each year  that  this Plan  remains  in  effect,  the  Fund's
Treasurer  shall  prepare  and  furnish to the  Directors  of the Fund a written
report, complying with the requirements of Rule 12b-1, setting forth the amounts
expended  by the Fund under the Plan and  purposes  for which such  expenditures
were made.

    The Plan shall  become  effective  upon  approval  of the Plan,  the form of
Selected Dealer Agreement and the form of Shareholder Service Agreement,  by the
majority votes of both (a) the Fund's Directors and the Qualified  Directors (as
defined below),  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
the Plan and (b) the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund, as defined in
Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act.

    The Plan shall remain in effect for one year from its adoption  date and may
be continued  thereafter if this Plan and all related agreements are approved at
least  annually  a  majority  vote of the  Directors  of the Fund,  including  a
majority of the Qualified  Directors  cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such Plan and  agreements.  This Plan may not be amended in
order to increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution  assistance
without  shareholder  approval.  All  material  amendments  to this Plan must be
approved by a vote of the Directors of the Fund, and of the Qualified  Directors
(as hereinafter defined),  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting thereon.

    The Plan may be  terminated  at any time by a majority vote of the Directors
who are not interested  persons (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act)
of the Fund and have no direct or indirect  financial  interest in the operation
of the Plan or in any agreements related to the Plan (the "Qualified Directors")
or by vote of a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund, as
defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act.

    While this Plan shall be in effect,  the  selection  and  nomination  of the
"non-interested"  Directors of the Fund shall be committed to the  discretion of
the Qualified Directors then in office.

                                   TAX MATTERS

    The  following is only a summary of certain  additional  tax  considerations
generally  affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the
Prospectus.  No attempt is made to  present a  detailed  explanation  of the tax
treatment of the Fund or its  shareholders,  and the discussions here and in the
Prospectus   are  not  intended  as   substitutes   for  careful  tax  planning.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company

   
    The Fund has elected to be taxed as a  regulated  investment  company  under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a
regulated  investment company,  the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on
the portion of its net investment income (i.e., taxable interest,  dividends and
other  taxable  ordinary  income,  net of expenses)  and capital gain net income
(i.e.,  the excess of capital gains over capital  losses) that it distributes to
shareholders,  provided  that it  distributes  at  least  90% of its  investment
company  taxable  income  (i.e.,  net  investment  income  and the excess of net
short-term  capital gain over net  long-term  capital loss) for the taxable year
(the  "Distribution  Requirement"),  and satisfies certain other requirements of
the Code that are  described  below.  Distributions  by the Fund made during the
taxable year or, under specified  circumstances,  within twelve months after the
close of the taxable year, will be considered  distributions of income and gains
of the taxable year and will therefore satisfy the Distribution Requirement.
    

    In  addition  to  satisfying  the  Distribution  Requirement,   a  regulated
investment  company  must:  (1)  derive at least 90% of its  gross  income  from
dividends,  interest,  certain payments with respect to securities loans,  gains
from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign  currencies
(to the  extent  such  currency  gains are  directly  related  to the  regulated
investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and
other  income  (including  but not  limited  to gains from  options,  futures or
forward  contracts)  derived  with  respect to its business of investing in such
stock, securities or currencies (the "Income Requirement");  and (2) derive less
than 30% of its gross income  (exclusive of certain gains on designated  hedging
transactions  that are offset by realized  or  unrealized  losses on  offsetting
positions)  from the sale or other  disposition of stock,  securities or foreign
currencies (or options, futures or forward contracts thereon) held for less than
three months (the  "Short-Short  Gain Test").  However,  foreign currency gains,
including  those  derived from options,  futures and  forwards,  will not in any
event be  characterized  as Short-Short Gain if they are directly related to the
regulated investment company's investments in stock or securities (or options or
futures  thereon).  Because of the  Short-Short  Gain Test, the Fund may have to
limit the sale of  appreciated  securities  that it has held for less than three
months.  However,  the  Short-Short  Gain  Test will not  prevent  the Fund from
disposing of investments at a loss,  since the  recognition of a loss before the
expiration of the three-month holding period is

                                       6
<PAGE>

   
disregarded  for this purpose.  Interest  (including  original  issue  discount)
received by the Fund at maturity or upon the  disposition of a security held for
less than three months will not be treated as gross income derived from the sale
or other disposition of such security within the meaning of the Short-Short Gain
Test. However,  income that is attributable to realized market appreciation will
be treated as gross income from such sale or other disposition of securities for
this purpose.
    

    In general,  gain or loss  recognized by the Fund on the  disposition  of an
asset  will  be a  capital  gain  or  loss.  However,  gain  recognized  on  the
disposition  of a debt  obligation  purchased  by the Fund at a market  discount
(generally,  at a price  less than its  principal  amount)  will be  treated  as
ordinary  income to the  extent of the  portion  of the  market  discount  which
accrued  during  the  period  of time the Fund  held  the  debt  obligation.  In
addition,  under the rules of Code Section 988,  gain or loss  recognized on the
disposition of a debt obligation  denominated in a foreign currency or an option
with respect thereto (but only to the extent  attributable to changes in foreign
currency  exchange  rates),  and gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a
foreign currency forward contract, futures contract, option or similar financial
instrument,  or  of  foreign  currency  itself,  except  for  regulated  futures
contracts or  non-equity  options  subject to Code Section 1256 (unless the Fund
elects otherwise), will generally be treated as ordinary income or loss.

    Treasury  Regulations permit a regulated  investment company, in determining
its investment  company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., the excess of
net  long-term  capital gain over net  short-term  capital loss) for any taxable
year,  to elect  (unless  it has made a taxable  year  election  for  excise tax
purposes as discussed  below) to treat all or any part of any net capital  loss,
any net long-term  capital loss or any net foreign  currency loss incurred after
October 31 as if it had been incurred in the succeeding year.

   
    In addition to satisfying the  requirements  described  above, the Fund must
satisfy  an  asset  diversification  test in  order to  qualify  as a  regulated
investment company.  Under this test, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's
taxable  year,  at least 50% of the value of the Fund's  assets must  consist of
cash and cash items, U.S. Government  securities,  securities of other regulated
investment  companies,  and securities of other issuers (as to each of which the
Fund has not  invested  more than 5% of the value of the Fund's  total assets in
securities  of such  issuer  and does not hold more than 10% of the  outstanding
voting  securities  of such  issuer),  and no more  than 25% of the value of its
total  assets may be invested in the  securities  of any one issuer  (other than
U.S.  Government   securities  and  securities  of  other  regulated  investment
companies),  or in two or more  issuers  which the Fund  controls  and which are
engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses.
    

    If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated  investment
company,  all of its taxable  income  (including  its net capital  gain) will be
subject  to  tax  at  regular   corporate   rates   without  any  deduction  for
distributions to  shareholders,  and such  distributions  will be taxable to the
shareholders  as  ordinary  dividends  to the extent of the Fund's  current  and
accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions  generally will be eligible
for the  dividends-received  deduction  in the case of  corporate  shareholders.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies

    A 4% non-deductible  excise tax is imposed on a regulated investment company
that  fails  to  distribute  in each  calendar  year an  amount  equal to 98% of
ordinary taxable income for the calendar year and 98% of capital gain net income
for the one-year  period ended on October 31 of such  calendar  year (or, at the
election of a regulated investment company having a taxable year ending November
30 or  December  31, for its  taxable  year (a "taxable  year  election")).  The
balance of such income must be  distributed  during the next calendar  year. For
the  foregoing  purposes,  a regulated  investment  company is treated as having
distributed any amount on which it is subject to income tax for any taxable year
ending in such calendar year.

    For purposes of the excise tax, a regulated  investment  company shall:  (1)
reduce its capital  gain net income (but not below its net capital  gain) by the
amount of any net ordinary loss for the calendar year;  and (2) exclude  foreign
currency  gains and losses  incurred  after October 31 of any year (or after the
end of its taxable year if it has made a taxable year  election) in  determining
the amount of  ordinary  taxable  income  for the  current  calendar  year (and,
instead,  include such gains and losses in determining  ordinary  taxable income
for the succeeding calendar year).

    The Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of
its ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income prior to the end of each
calendar year to avoid liability for the excise tax.  However,  investors should
note  that  the Fund may in  certain  circumstances  be  required  to  liquidate
portfolio  investments  to make  sufficient  distributions  to avoid  excise tax
liability. 

Fund Distributions

    The  Fund  anticipates  distributing  substantially  all of  its  investment
company taxable income for each taxable year. Such distributions will be taxable
to  shareholders  as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income
tax

                                       7
<PAGE>

purposes,  but they will qualify for the 70%  dividends-received  deduction  for
corporate shareholders only to the extent discussed below.

    The Fund may either  retain or distribute  to  shareholders  its net capital
gain for each taxable year.  The Fund  currently  intends to distribute any such
amounts.  Net capital gain that is distributed  and designated as a capital gain
dividend will be taxable to shareholders as long-term  capital gain,  regardless
of the length of time the  shareholder  has held his shares or whether such gain
was recognized by the Fund prior to the date on which the  shareholder  acquired
his shares.

    Conversely, if the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will
be taxed thereon (except to the extent of any available capital loss carryovers)
at the 35%  corporate  tax rate.  If the Fund  elects to retain its net  capital
gain,  it is  expected  that the Fund also will  elect to have  shareholders  of
record  on the  last day of its  taxable  year  treated  as if each  received  a
distribution  of his pro rata  share of such  gain,  with the  result  that each
shareholder  will be  required  to report his pro rata share of such gain on his
tax return as long-term  capital gain,  will receive a refundable tax credit for
his pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain,  and will  increase  the
tax basis for his shares by an amount equal to the deemed  distribution less the
tax credit.

    Ordinary  income  dividends  paid by the Fund with respect to a taxable year
will qualify for the 70%  dividends-received  deduction  generally  available to
corporations  (other than  corporations,  such as S corporations,  which are not
eligible for the deduction) to the extent of the amount of qualifying  dividends
received by the Fund from domestic corporations for the taxable year. A dividend
received by the Fund will not be treated as a qualifying  dividend (1) if it has
been received with respect to any share of stock that the Fund has held for less
than 46 days (91 days in the case of certain  preferred  stock),  excluding  for
this purpose under the rules of Code Section 246(c)(3) and (4): (i) any day more
than 45 days (or 90 days in the case of certain  preferred stock) after the date
on which the stock becomes ex-dividend and (ii) any period during which the Fund
has an option to sell, is under a contractual  obligation to sell,  has made and
not closed a short sale of, is the grantor of a  deep-in-the-money  or otherwise
nonqualified  option to buy,  or has  otherwise  diminished  its risk of loss by
holding  other  positions  with  respect to, such (or  substantially  identical)
stock;  (2) to the extent that the Fund is under an  obligation  (pursuant  to a
short sale or otherwise)  to make related  payments with respect to positions in
substantially  similar  or related  property;  or (3) to the extent the stock on
which the dividend is paid is treated as  debt-financed  under the rules of Code
Section  246A.  Moreover,  the  dividends-received  deduction  for  a  corporate
shareholder may be disallowed or reduced (1) if the corporate  shareholder fails
to satisfy the foregoing  requirements with respect to its shares of the Fund or
(2)  by  application  of  Code  Section  246(b)  which  in  general  limits  the
dividends-received   deduction  to  70%  of  the  shareholder's  taxable  income
(determined without regard to the dividends-received deduction and certain other
items).

   
    Alternative  minimum tax ("AMT") is imposed in addition  to, but only to the
extent it exceeds, the regular tax and is computed at a maximum marginal rate of
28% for noncorporate  taxpayers and 20% for corporate taxpayers on the excess of
the taxpayer's  alternative  minimum  taxable income  ("AMTI") over an exemption
amount.  For  purposes of the  corporate  AMT the  corporate  dividends-received
deduction  is not  itself an item of tax  preference  that must be added back to
taxable income or is otherwise  disallowed in determining a corporation's  AMTI.
However,  corporate  shareholders  will  generally  be required to take the full
amount  of  any  dividend  received  from  the  Fund  into  account  (without  a
dividends-received  deduction) in  determining  its adjusted  current  earnings,
which are used in computing an additional  corporate  preference item (i.e., 75%
of the excess of a corporate  taxpayer's adjusted current earnings over its AMTI
(determined  without  regard  to  this  item  and the  AMT  net  operating  loss
deduction)) includable in AMTI.
    

    Investment  income  that may be  received  by the Fund from  sources  within
foreign  countries may be subject to foreign taxes  withheld at the source.  The
United  States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign  countries  which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from,  taxes on such income.
It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since
the amount of the Fund's  assets to be  invested  in  various  countries  is not
known.

    Distributions  by the Fund that do not constitute  ordinary income dividends
or capital gain  dividends  will be treated as a return of capital to the extent
of (and in reduction of) the shareholder's  tax basis in his shares;  any excess
will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares, as discussed below.

   
    Distributions  by the Fund will be  treated in the  manner  described  above
regardless  of whether  such  distributions  are paid in cash or  reinvested  in
additional  shares of the Fund (or of another  fund).  Shareholders  receiving a
distribution  in the form of  additional  shares will be treated as  receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received,
determined as of the reinvestment  date. In addition,  if the net asset value at
the time a shareholder  purchases shares of the Fund reflects  undistributed net
investment  income  or  recognized   capital  gain  net  income,  or  unrealized
appreciation  in the  value of the  assets of the  Fund,  distributions  of such
amounts  will be  taxable to the  shareholder  in the  manner  described  above,
although they economically constitute a return of capital to the shareholder.
    

    Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund into
account  in the year in which the  distributions  are made.  However,  dividends
declared in October, November or December of any year and payable to


                                       8
<PAGE>

shareholders  of record on a  specified  date in such a month  will be deemed to
have been received by the shareholders  (and made by the Fund) on December 31 of
such  calendar  year if such  dividends  are  actually  paid in  January  of the
following year.  Shareholders  will be advised  annually as to the U.S.  federal
income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year.

   
    The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the U.S.
Treasury 31% of distributions and the proceeds of redemption of shares,  paid to
any  shareholder  (1) who has provided  either an incorrect  tax  identification
number or no number at all, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure
to report the receipt of interest or dividend  income  properly,  or (3) who has
failed to certify to the Fund that it is not  subject to backup  withholding  or
that it is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation).  
    

Sale or Redemption of Shares

    A  shareholder  will  recognize  gain or loss on the sale or  redemption  of
shares of the Fund in an amount equal to the difference  between the proceeds of
the sale or redemption and the  shareholder's  adjusted tax basis in the shares.
All or a portion of any loss so recognized may be disallowed if the  shareholder
purchases  other  shares of the Fund  within 30 days before or after the sale or
redemption.  In general,  any gain or loss  arising  from (or treated as arising
from) the sale or redemption  of shares of the Fund will be  considered  capital
gain or loss and will be long-term  capital gain or loss if the shares were held
for longer than one year.  However,  any capital  loss  arising from the sale or
redemption  of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term
capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain  dividends  received on
such shares. For this purpose,  the special holding period rules of Code Section
246(c)(3) and (4)  (discussed  above in connection  with the  dividends-received
deduction for  corporations)  generally  will apply in  determining  the holding
period  of  shares.  Long-term  capital  gains  of  noncorporate  taxpayers  are
currently  taxed at a maximum rate 11.6% lower than the maximum rate  applicable
to ordinary income. Capital losses in any year are deductible only to the extent
of  capital  gains  plus,  in the case of a  noncorporate  taxpayer,  $3,000  of
ordinary income. 

Foreign Shareholders

    Taxation of a  shareholder  who, as to the United  States,  is a nonresident
alien  individual,  foreign  trust or estate,  foreign  corporation,  or foreign
partnership ("foreign shareholder"), depends on whether the income from the Fund
is  "effectively  connected"  with a U.S.  trade or business  carried on by such
shareholder.

   
    If the income from the Fund is not  effectively  connected with a U.S. trade
or business carried on by a foreign shareholder,  ordinary income dividends paid
to a foreign shareholder will be subject to U.S.  withholding tax at the rate of
30% (or lower  applicable  treaty rate) upon the gross  amount of the  dividend.
Such a foreign  shareholder  would generally be exempt from U.S.  federal income
tax on gains realized on the sale of shares of the Fund,  capital gain dividends
and amounts  retained by the Fund that are designated as  undistributed  capital
gains.
    

    If the income from the Fund is  effectively  connected  with a U.S. trade or
business carried on by a foreign  shareholder,  then ordinary income  dividends,
capital gain  dividends,  and any gains  realized upon the sale of shares of the
Fund will be subject to U.S.  federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S.
citizens or domestic corporations.

   
    In the case of a foreign noncorporate shareholder,  the Fund may be required
to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 31% on  distributions  that are
otherwise  exempt from  withholding  tax (or taxable at a reduced  treaty  rate)
unless  the  shareholder  furnishes  the Fund with  proper  notification  of its
foreign status.
    

    The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits
of an  applicable  tax treaty may differ from those  described  herein.  Foreign
shareholders  are urged to consult  their own tax  advisers  with respect to the
particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund,  including the
applicability  of  foreign  taxes.  

Effect of Future Legislation; Local Tax Considerations

    The foregoing general  discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is
based on the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder as in effect on
the date of this  Statement of Additional  Information.  Future  legislative  or
administrative   changes  or  court  decisions  may  significantly   change  the
conclusions  expressed  herein,  and any such  changes or  decisions  may have a
retroactive effect with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

    Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary  income  dividends and capital
gain dividends from regulated  investment  companies often differ from the rules
for U.S. federal income taxation described above. Shareholders are urged to


                                       9
<PAGE>

consult their tax advisers as to the  consequences  of these and other state and
local tax rules affecting investment in the Fund.

                             PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

    For purposes of quoting and comparing the performance of the Fund to that of
other mutual fund and to other relevant market indices in  advertisements  or in
reports to  shareholders,  performance  may be stated in terms of total  return.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC rules"),  funds
advertising performance must include total return quotes calculated according to
the following formula:

         P(1+T)n = ERV

      Where:   P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1000

               T = average annual total return

               n = number of years (1, 5 or 10)

             ERV = ending  redeemable  value  of  a hypothetical  $1,000 payment
                   made at the  beginning of the  1, 5 or 10 year periods at the
                   end  of  the  1, 5 and 10 year periods (or fractional portion
                   thereof).

    Under the foregoing  formula,  the time periods used in advertising  will be
based on rolling calendar  quarters,  updated to the last day of the most recent
quarter prior to submission of the advertising for  publication,  and will cover
one,   five,  and  ten  year  periods  or  a  shorter  period  dating  from  the
effectiveness of the Fund's  Registration  Statement.  In calculating the ending
redeemable  value,  all dividends and  distributions  by the Fund are assumed to
have been  reinvested  at the net asset value as described in the  Prospectus on
the  reinvestment  dates  during the  period.  The total  return,  or "T" in the
formula  above,  is computed by finding the average annual  compounded  rates of
return over the 1, 5 and 10 year periods (or  fractional  portion  thereof) that
would equate the initial amount  invested to the ending  redeemable  value.  Any
recurring  account charges that might in the future be imposed by the Fund would
be included at that time.  Lexington Growth and Income Fund, Inc.'s total return
for the 1,5 and 10 years ended December 31, 1996 is a follows:

                                                        Average Annual
               Period                                    Total Return

               1 year ended December 31, 1996 ..........    26.46%
               5 years ended December 31, 1996 .........    13.82%
               10 years ended December 31, 1996 ........    11.58%

    The Fund may also  from time to time  include  in such  advertising  a total
return figure that is not calculated according to the formula set forth above in
order to compare more accurately the performance of the Fund with other measures
of  investment  return.  For example,  in comparing the Fund's total return with
data published by Lipper Analytical  Services,  Inc., or with the performance of
the  Standard  &  Poor's  500  Composite  Stock  Price  Index  or the Dow  Jones
Industrial  Average,  the Fund  calculates  its  aggregate  total return for the
specified periods of time by assuming the reinvestment of each dividend or other
distribution at net asset value on the reinvestment date.  Percentage  increases
are  determined  by  subtracting  the initial value of the  investment  from the
ending value and by dividing the remainder by the beginning value.

             CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

    Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., 1211 Avenue of the Americas,  New York, New York

securities  including  those to be held by foreign banks and foreign  securities
depositories  which  qualify  as  eligible  foreign  custodians  under the rules
adopted by the S.E.C.  and for the Fund's domestic  securities and other assets.
State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston,  Massachusetts
02181,  has been retained to act as the transfer  agent and dividend  disbursing
agent.  Neither  Chase  Manhattan  Bank,  N.A.  nor State  Street Bank and Trust
Company have any part in determining  the investment  policies of the Fund or in
determining  which portfolio  securities are to be purchased or sold by the Fund
or in the declaration of dividends and distributions.

*Retired

Retirement Plan for Eligible Directors/Trustees

    Effective September 12, 1995, the Directors instituted a Retirement Plan for
Eligible Directors/Trustees (the "Plan") pursuant to which each Director/Trustee
(who is not an  employee  of any of the Funds,  the  Advisor,  Administrator  or
Distributor or any of their affiliates) may be entitled to certain benefits upon
retirement from the Board.  Pursuant to the Plan, the normal  retirement date is
the date on which the  eligible  Director/Trustee  has  attained  age 65 and has
completed at least ten years of continuous and non-forfeited service with one or
more of the investment companies advised by LMC

                                       12
<PAGE>

(or  its  affiliates)   (collectively,   the  "Covered  Funds").  Each  eligible
Director/Trustee  is entitled to receive from the Covered Fund an annual benefit
commencing  on the first day of the  calendar  quarter  coincident  with or next
following his date of retirement equal to 5% of his  compensation  multiplied by
the  number of such  Director/Trustee's  years of  service  (not in excess of 15
years) completed with respect to any of the Covered Portfolios.  Such benefit is
payable  to each  eligible  Director  in  quarterly  installments  for ten years
following the date of retirement or the life of the  Director/Trustee.  The Plan
establishes  age  72  as a  mandatory  retirement  age  for  Directors/Trustees;
however,  Director/Trustees  serving the Funds as of September  12, 1995 are not
subject to such mandatory retirement. Directors/Trustees serving the Funds as of
September  12, 1995 who elect  retirement  under the Plan prior to September 12,
1996 will receive an annual  retirement  benefit at any  increased  compensation
level if  compensation  is  increased  prior to  September  12, 1997 and receive
spousal  benefits  (i.e.,  in the  event  the  Director/Trustee  dies  prior  to
receiving full benefits under the Plan, the  Director/Trustee's  spouse (if any)
will be entitled to receive the retirement benefit within the 10 year period.)

    Retiring  Directors will be eligible to serve as Honorary  Directors for one
year after  retirement and will be entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses
to attend a maximum of two meetings.

    Set forth in the table below are the estimated annual benefits payable to an
eligible  Director upon retirement  assuming  various  compensation and years of
service  classifications.  As of December 31, 1996, the estimated credited years
of service for  Directors  Chadha,  Duer,  Maher,  McCosh,  Miller,  Preston and
Russell are 1, 18, 1, 1, 22, 18 and 15, respectively.

financial  statements  audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the Fund's  independent
auditors.

LEXINGTON GROWTH AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996 and 1995

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES
Lexington  Growth and Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end  diversified
management  investment  company  registered under the Investment  Company Act of
1940, as amended. The Fund's investment  objective is long-term  appreciation of
capital.  Income  is a  secondary  objective.  The  following  is a  summary  of
significant  accounting  policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements:
      INVESTMENTS Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized  gains and losses  from  investment  transactions  are  reported on the
identified  cost basis.  Securities  traded on a recognized  stock  exchange are
valued at the last sales price  reported by the exchange on which the securities
are traded.  If no sales price is  recorded,  the mean  between the last bid and
asked price is used. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued
at the mean between the last current bid and asked price.  Short-term securities
having a  maturity  of 60 days or less  are  stated  at  amortized  cost,  which
approximates  market  value.  Securities  for which  market  quotations  are not
readily  available and other assets are valued by Fund  management in good faith
under the direction of the Fund's Board of Directors.  All investments quoted in
foreign  currencies  are  valued in U.S.  dollars  on the  basis of the  foreign
currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of business. Dividend income and
distributions  to shareholders  are recorded on the ex-dividend  date.  Interest
income,  adjusted for  amortization  of premiums and accretion of discounts,  is
accrued as earned.

      FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES  It  is  the  Fund's  policy  to  comply  with  the
requirements of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable to "regulated  investment
companies" and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

      DISTRIBUTIONS  Dividends from net investment  income are normally declared
and paid  quarterly and dividends  from net realized  capital gains are normally
declared and paid annually.  However,  the Fund may make distributions on a more
frequent  basis to comply with the  distribution  requirements  of the  Internal
Revenue Code. The character of income and gains to be distributed are determined
in  accordance  with  income tax  regulations  which may differ  from  generally
accepted accounting  principles.  At December 31, 1996,  reclassifications  were
made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect  permanent  book/tax  differences
and income and gains available for  distributions  under income tax regulations.
Net  investment  income,  net realized gains and net assets were not affected by
this change.

      USE OF ESTIMATES  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
increases  and  decreases  in net assets from  operations  during the  reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER
    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATE
The Fund pays an  investment  advisory fee to Lexington  Management  Corporation
("LMC") at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's  average daily net assets up to
$100 million and in  decreasing  stages to 0.40% of average  daily net assets in
excess of $250 million. The investment advisory contract provides that the total
annual expenses of the Fund (including  management fees, but excluding interest,
taxes,  brokerage  commissions and  extraordinary  expenses) will not exceed the
level of expenses which the Fund is permitted to bear under the most restrictive
expense  limitation imposed by any state in which shares of the Fund are offered
for sale. No reimbursement was required for the year ended December 31, 1996.

The Fund also  reimbursed  LMC for certain  expenses,  including  accounting and
shareholder  servicing  costs of $231,009  which were incurred by the Fund,  but
paid by LMC.

3.  DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Fund has a Distribution  Plan (the "Plan") which allows  payments to finance
activities  associated  with the  distribution  of the Fund's  shares.  The Plan
provides  that the  Fund may pay  distribution  fees on a  reimbursement  basis,
including  payments to Lexington Funds  Distributor,  Inc.  ("LFD"),  the Fund's
distributor,  in amounts  not  exceeding  0.25% per annum of the Fund's  average
daily net assets.  Total  distribution  expenses for the year ended December 31,
1996 were $224,986 and are set forth in the statement of operations.

4.  CAPITAL STOCK
Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES The cost of securities purchased
and  proceeds  from sales of  securities  for the year ended  December 31, 1996,
excluding   short-term   securities,   were   $178,329,101   and   $161,371,526,
respectively.  At December 31, 1996, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation
for all  securities  in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted
to $34,857,952 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in
which there is an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $1,165,848.

6.  INVESTMENT AND CONCENTRATION RISKS
The Fund's ability to invest in foreign securities may involve risks not present
in domestic  investments.  Since  foreign  securities  may be  denominated  in a
foreign currency and involve settlement and pay interest or dividends in foreign
currencies,  changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S.
dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the
Fund.  Foreign  investments  may also  subject  the Fund to  foreign  government
exchange  restrictions,  expropriation,  taxation or other political,  social or
economic  developments,  all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk
of the investments.
