Since its inception in 1974, Reich & Tang Funds has taken a proactive approach to risk management. Our investment philosophy and process is more credit focused than yield focused. Our goals of safety and preservation of capital continually drive our investment analysis and decisions. On October 2, 2008, the Boards of Directors and Trustees of all U.S.-registered money market funds advised by Reich & Tang Asset Management, LLC approved the participation of those funds in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The Boards took further action on April 6, 2009, to approve a second extension of the participation of those funds in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The extension now provides coverage through September 18, 2009. The Guarantee Program for U.S.-registered money market funds is a timely and direct response to our troubled markets, providing stability at a time when investor confidence has been eroded. The Guarantee Program guarantees shareholders that they will receive $1.00 for each money market fund share held at the close of business on September 19, 2008. Below are the essential aspects of the Guarantee Program: o the guarantee is based upon the number of shares invested in the fund at the close of business on September 19, 2008; o any increase in the number of shares held after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be guaranteed; o if the number of shares fluctuates over the period, investors will be covered for either the number of shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the current amount, whichever is less; o in the event a customer closes their account with a fund or broker/dealer, any future investment in the fund will not be guaranteed; Recently, a number of proposals, concerning the money market industry, have been made in the interest of providing greater stability, including recommendations from the Investment Company Institute Money Market Working Group, the Group of 30 headed by Paul Volcker, and from the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. As the money market industry grapples with the appropriateness and impact of these initiatives, rest assured that Reich & Tang Funds continues to be very cautious given the recent events in our markets. As an organization, we continue to believe that thorough, fundamental credit analysis is the key to continued success in our business. Our credit analysts are constantly monitoring the activity in the credit markets. Throughout this period of market turbulence, we have not owned any securities that have experienced credit delinquency or have been downgraded below Tier 1, however current and future portfolio holdings are subject to market risk. Reich & Tang is proud to be part of Natixis Global Asset Management, one of the world's largest money management organizations. Natixis brings together the expertise of multiple specialized investment managers based in the United States, Europe and Asia to offer a wide spectrum of equi7ty, fixed income and alternative investment strategies. For more information on Natixis Global Asset Management, please visit us at www.natixis.com. We appreciate your support during this turbulent period and thank you for your business. While it is difficult to predict the future as we navigate through multiple complex factors in the market, we believe that our fundamental approach to money market funds and our corporate structure enable us to continue to be a leader in providing funds that focus on preservation of capital and liquidity for our shareholders and valued clients. We welcome any questions you may have about the investments in any of our portfolios and stand ready to respond to you as we have for 35 years. Sincerely, \s\Michael P. Lydon Michael P. Lydon President <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO EXPENSE CHART FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) ================================================================================ As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur the following ongoing costs: management fees and other Portfolio expenses. You may also incur distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. ACTUAL EXPENSES The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. <table> <caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class Shares ("Institutional Shares") & Pinnacle Beginning Account Ending Account Value Expenses Paid Annualized Class Shares ("Pinnacle Shares") Value 10/01/08 03/31/09 During the Period * Expense Ratio * -

You may also incur distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. ACTUAL EXPENSES The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. <table> <caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class Shares ("Institutional Shares") & Pinnacle Beginning Account Ending Account Value Expenses Paid Annualized Class Shares ("Pinnacle Shares") Value 10/01/08 03/31/09 During the period* Expense Ratio -

You may also incur distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. ACTUAL EXPENSES The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds.

You may also incur distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. ACTUAL EXPENSES The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. <table> <caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class Shares Beginning Account Ending Account Value Expenses Paid Annualized ("Institutional Shares") Value 10/01/08 03/31/09 During the Period* Expense Ratio* -

All letters of credit and insurance are irrevocable and direct pay covering both principal and interest. Ratings are unaudited. In addition, certain issuers may have either a line of credit, a liquidity facility, a standby purchase agreement or some other financing mechanism to ensure the remarketing of the securities.

The interest rates are adjustable and are based on bank prime rates or other interest rate adjustment indices. The rate shown is the rate in effect at the date of this statement.

Summary of Accounting Policies Daily Income Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Fund is comprised of four managed portfolios of money market instruments: the Money Market Portfolio, the U.S. Treasury Portfolio, the U.S. Government Portfolio and the Municipal Portfolio (each referred to as "Portfolio"). The investment objective of the Money Market, U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Portfolios is to seek as high a level of current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The investment objective of the Municipal Portfolio is to seek as high a level of tax-exempt current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. Each portfolio has five core classes of stock authorized: Institutional, Institutional Service, Investor, Short Term Income, and Retail shares. In addition to the core classes the Money Market Portfolio includes the Pinnacle, Advantage and Xpress shares, the U.S. Treasury Portfolio includes the Pinnacle shares, the U.S. Government and Municipal Portfolios include the Advantage shares. Commencement of operations for each of the share classes began as follows: <table> <caption> Money Market U.S. Treasury U.S. Government Municipal Share classes Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio ------------- --------- --------- ----------- --------- <s> <c> <c> <c> <c> Institutional shares............

June 20, 2007 N/O N/O N/O </table> The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies as follows: a) Valuation of Securities - Investments are recorded on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates value, as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Under this method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the instrument. The maturity of variable rate demand instruments is deemed to be the longer of the period required before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the principal amount or the period remaining until the next interest rate adjustment. b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Realized gains and losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. c) Repurchase Agreements - All Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Portfolio's investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities and/or U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Portfolio's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. Under these arrangements, the Portfolios are permitted to deliver or re-pledge these securities. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Portfolios might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income. d) Federal Income Taxes - It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. Consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48") management evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold are recorded as a component of income tax expense in the current period with a corresponding adjustment to a liability for uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the statement of operations. <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 1. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued) e) Dividends and Distributions - Dividends from net investment income (excluding long-term capital gains and losses, if any, and amortization of market discount) are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually and in no event later than 60 days after the end of the Fund's fiscal year. f) Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. g) Representations and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote. h) Allocation of Income and Expenses - Each Portfolio may allocate among its classes and to the extent allowable, to specific classes, certain expenses, including shareholder servicing fees, distribution fees, transfer agent fees, government registration fees, certain printing and postage costs, and administrative and legal expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2009, class specific expenses of each Portfolio were limited to shareholder servicing fees, distribution fees and transfer agent expenses. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. In all other respects, all share classes represent the same interest in the income and assets of each Portfolio. i) Risks - Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the underlying Portfolio holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, housing, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Portfolio's investment in municipal securities. There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service. In a low interest rate environment, such as the environment that existed at March 31, 2009, Reich & Tang Asset Management LLC ("the "Manager") and Reich & Tang Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") have historically waived their fees to maintain a minimum non-negative yield for all classes of the Fund. The Manager and Distributor are under no contractual obligation to continue such waiver in the future. 2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Under the Investment Management Contract, each Portfolio pays an investment management fee to the Manager at the annual rate of .12% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Contract each Portfolio pays to the Manager an annual fee of .05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Pursuant to a Sub-Accounting Agreement, Reich & Tang Services, Inc., (the "TA"), an affiliate of the Manager, performs or sub-contracts or employs others to perform certain sub-accounting services for the Advantage and Xpress shareholders. For its services under the Sub-Accounting Agreement, the TA receives from the Portfolio a fee up to 0.10% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Advantage shares and Xpress shares. <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ================================================================================ 2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued) The Fund and the Distributor, an affiliate of the Manager, have entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement and a Distribution Agreement. For its services under the Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Agreements, the Distributor receives from each Portfolio a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of each Class's average daily net assets as follows: <table> <caption> Shareholder Servicing Fees Distribution Fees -------------------------- ----------------- <s> <c> <c> Institutional Shares........................ -0- -0- Institutional Service Shares................ 0.25% -0- Investor Shares............................. 0.25% 0.20% Short Term Income Shares.................... 0.25% 0.45% Retail Shares............................... 0.25% 0.65% Pinnacle Shares............................. -0- -0- Advantage Shares............................ 0.25% 0.75% Xpress Shares............................... 0.25% 0.75% </table> As of March 31, 2009, the amounts Payable to affiliates included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are broken down as follows: <table> <caption> Money Market U.S. Treasury U.S. Government Municipal Fee Type/ Affiliate Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio ------------------- ---------- ---------- --------- --------- <s> <c> <c> <c> <c> Investment management fees/Manager.......... $404,135 $128,104 $122,250 $42,054 Administration fees/Manager................. -0- -0- 50,938 77,522 Shareholder servicing fees/Distributor...... 315,500 46,590 89,187 30,508 Distribution fees/Distributor............... 626,781 491 155,341 62,778 Sub-Accounting Fees/TA...................... 1,313 -0- -0- -0- Transfer agency fees/TA..................... 91,877 30,329 8,378 9,240 ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Total....................................... $1,439,606 $205,514 $426,094 $222,102 ========== ========== ========= ========= </table> For the year ended March 31, 2009, the following fees were voluntarily waived by the Manager, Distributor and TA: <table> <caption> Money Market U.S. Treasury U.S. Government Municipal Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- <s> <c> <s> <s> <s> Investment management fees.................. $488,414 $-0- $-0- $302,351 Administration fees......................... 2,762,925 471,402 526,642 144,972 Shareholder servicing fees - Institutional Service shares 34,617 77,128 -0- -0- Shareholder servicing fees - Investor shares 7,100 105,146 N/A N/A Shareholder servicing fees - Short Term Income shares -0- 69,812 N/A -0- Shareholder servicing fees - Retail shares.. 3,850 11,518 -0- -0- Distribution fees - Investor shares......... 127,085 287,274 N/A N/A Distribution fees - Short Term Income shares 72,201 378,800 N/A 132,743 Distribution fees - Retail shares........... 1,985,196 67,463 303,832 214,625 Distribution fees - Advantage shares........ 3,731,891 N/O 2,073,980 316,220 Distribution fees - Xpress shares........... 37 N/O N/O N/O Transfer agency fees - Institutional shares. 73,287 -0- -0- -0- Transfer agency fees - Pinnacle shares...... 24,604 -0- N/O N/O ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total....................................... $9,311,207 $1,468,543 $2,904,454 $1,110,911 ========== ========== ========== ========== <fn> Included in the above amounts were waivers to maintain a minimum yield in light of market conditions. </fn> </table> <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 2.

In the event that the Manager and/or Distributor waive fees and/or reimburse expenses either as a result of the Expense Cap Arrangement or in an effort to maintain certain net yields, the Fund's Board of Trustees has agreed that the Manager and Distributor may be reimbursed, on a class by class basis, for such fee reductions and/or expense payments. In carrying out this reimbursement to the Manager and/or Distributor, the annualized expense ratio as of any day in the fiscal year shall not exceed the rates set forth in the Expense Cap Arrangement. The Manager and Distributor may not recover fee reductions and/or expense payments with respect to a class more than 2 years after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee was reduced or expense borne. The Manager and Distributor have determined and the Fund's Board of Trustees have approved that the fee waivers eligible for reimbursement are those occurring after January 31, 2009.

As of and during the year ended March 31, 2009, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions, and did not incur any interest or penalties. Each of the tax years in the four year period ended March 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. Management's determination regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors, including, but not limited to an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. 7. Fair Valuation Measurements The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157") on April 1, 2008. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. A Fund investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,etc.) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Money market securities may be valued using amortized cost, in accordance with the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but as the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as a Level 2. <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 7. Fair Valuation Measurements (Continued) The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Portfolio's investments as of March 31, 2009: <table> <caption> Valuation Inputs Money Market Portfolio U.S. Treasury Portfolio U.S. Government Portfolio Municipal Portfolio - ---------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- ------------------- <s> <c> <c> <c> <c> Level 1 - Quoted Prices $ -0- $ -0- $ -0- $ -0- Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs 4,664,009,146 1,255,120,514 1,187,433,325 407,464,770 Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs -0- -0- -0- -0- ----------------- -------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Total $ 4,664,009,146 $ 1,255,120,514 $ 1,187,433,325 $ 407,464,770 ================= ==================== ================== =================== </table> For the year ended March 31, 2009, there were no Level 1 or 3 investments. 8. Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds While the Fund has maintained its $1.00 share price, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to continue to do so. On October 2, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved the participation by the Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds through December 18, 2008 (the "Program"). Under the Program, if the Fund's market value per share drops below $0.995 on any day while the Program is in effect, shareholders of record on that date who also held shares in the Fund on September 19, 2008 may be eligible to receive a payment from the Treasury upon liquidation of the Fund, provided the Fund is liquidated soon after the day on which the Fund's market value per share drops below $0.995. The Program requires the Fund to pay the U.S. Department of Treasury a fee equal to 0.01% multiplied by the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008, which were 8,305,776,028. This expense is borne by the Fund. On December 4, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved the extension of the Fund's participation in the Program. The extension provides coverage through April 30, 2009. The extension of the Program requires the Fund to pay the U.S. Department of Treasury a fee equal to 0.015% multiplied by the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008. This expense is borne by the Fund. 9. Subsequent Event On April 6, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a second extension of the Fund's participation in the Program. The extension provides coverage through September 18, 2009. The extension of the Program requires the Fund to pay the U.S. Department of Treasury a fee equal to 0.015% multiplied by the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008. This expense is borne by the Fund. <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ================================================================================ To The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Daily Income Fund In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Treasury Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and Municipal Portfolio (individual portfolios constituting Daily Income Fund, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at March 31, 2009, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP New York, New York May 27, 2009 <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) ================================================================================ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS The Fund is required to file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form N-Q for its first and third fiscal quarters. The Fund's Form N-Q is available without charge on the SEC's website (http://www.sec.gov) or by calling the Fund toll free at (800) 433-1918. You can also obtain copies of the Fund's Form N-Q by visiting the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC (please call the SEC at (800) 732-0330 for information on the operation of the Public Reference Room). INFORMATION ABOUT PROXY VOTING Information regarding the Fund's proxy voting record for the 12 month period ending June 30 of each year is filed with the SEC on Form N-PX no later than August 31 of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at (800) 433-1918 and on the SEC's website (http//www.sec.gov). The Fund does not presently invest in voting securities and has therefore not adopted proxy voting policies and procedures. QUALIFIED INTEREST INCOME For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Funds' designate the following percentages of ordinary distributions paid during the fiscal year that are from qualified interest income to foreign shareholders: <table> <Caption> Qualified Interest Income ------ <s> <c> Daily Income Fund - Money Market Portfolio 30% Daily Income Fund - U.S. Treasury Portfolio 100% Daily Income Fund - U.S. Government Portfolio 100% </table> TAX EXEMPT INCOME DISTRIBUTION For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Municipal Portfolio paid tax-exempt distributions in the amount of $5,257,415. <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT (UNAUDITED) ================================================================================ On March 5, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved the continuance of the Investment Management Contract. Specifically, with regards to the approval of the continuance of the Investment Management Contract, the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") of the Daily Income Fund (the "Fund") had considered the following factors: 1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees reviewed in detail the nature and extent of the services provided by the Manager under the terms of the Fund's Investment Management Contract and the quality of those services over the past year. The Trustees noted that the services include managing the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets; the provision of reports to the Board regarding changes in portfolio holdings, important developments affecting the entities whose securities are included in the Fund's portfolio, and the money market industry and the economy in general; and the payment of compensation of all officers, trustees and employees of the Fund who are officers of the Manager or its affiliates. The Board also observed that the Manager provides various administrative services to the Fund pursuant to the terms of a separate Administrative Services Contract and considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under that agreement as well. The Trustees evaluated these factors based on their direct experience with the Manager and in consultation with counsel to the independent Trustees. The Trustees concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided under the Investment Management Contract were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the management fees, that the level of services provided by the Manager had not diminished over the past year and that the quality of services continues to be high. The Trustees reviewed the personnel responsible for providing advisory services to the Fund and concluded, based on their experience and interaction with the Manager, that (i) the Manager was able to retain quality portfolio managers and other personnel; (ii) the Manager exhibited a high level of diligence and attention to detail in carrying out its advisory responsibilities under the Investment Management Contract; (iii) the Manager was responsive to requests of the Trustees; and (iv) the Manager had kept the Trustees apprised of developments relating to the Fund and the industry in general. The Trustees also focused on the Manager's reputation and long-standing relationship with the Fund and, in particular, the experience of the Manager in advising money market funds. The Trustees also noted the high quality of services provided by the Manager under the Administrative Services Contract. 2) The performance of the Fund and the Manager. The Trustees reviewed the investment performance of the Fund's Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Treasury Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and Municipal Portfolio (each, a "Portfolio" and together, the "Portfolios"), on an absolute basis and on a gross basis, as compared to various Lipper peer group categories ("Performance Peer Groups") for the one-month and one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2008 for the Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Treasury Portfolio and for the one-month and one-year periods ended December 31, 2008 for the U.S. Government Portfolio and Municipal Portfolio. The peer group categories included: (i) the Fund's Money Market Portfolio and 14 other institutional money market funds, as classified by Lipper, as the peer group for the Money Market Portfolio; the Fund's U.S. Treasury Portfolio and eight other institutional U.S. Treasury money market funds, as classified by Lipper, as the peer group for the U.S. Treasury Portfolio; the Fund's U.S. Government Portfolio and seven other U.S. government money market funds, as classified by Lipper, as the peer group for the U.S. Government Portfolio; and the Fund's Municipal Portfolio and nine other tax-exempt money market funds, as classified by Lipper, as the peer group for the Municipal Portfolio; (ii) a competitors' class peer group for the Portfolios, representing the Fund's Money Market Portfolio and seven other institutional money market funds that are considered to be competitors of the Money Market Portfolio with similar distribution channels; the Fund's U.S. Treasury Portfolio and three other institutional U.S. Treasury money market funds that are considered to be competitors of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio with similar distribution channels; the Fund's U.S. Government Portfolio and five other U.S. Government money market funds that are considered to be competitors of the U.S. Government Portfolio with similar distribution channels; and the Fund's Municipal Portfolio and five other tax-exempt money market funds and one institutional tax-exempt money market fund that are considered to be competitors of the Municipal Portfolio with similar distribution channels (these competitor's were provided by the Manager); and (iii) a peer group for the Money Market Portfolio of all institutional money market funds regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution; a peer group for the U.S. Treasury Portfolio of all institutional U.S. Treasury money market funds regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution; a peer group for the U.S. Government Portfolio of all retail U.S. Government money market funds regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution; a peer group for the Municipal Portfolio of all retail tax-exempt money market funds regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution (the "Peer Universe"). The Manager advised the Board that it does not advise or sub-advise other types of accounts, such as institutional and pension accounts, with similar investment policies to the Portfolios. The Trustees used each Portfolio's performance against their respective Peer Groups to provide objective comparative benchmarks against which they could assess each Portfolio's performance. The Trustees considered those comparisons as helpful in their assessment as to whether the Manager was obtaining for the Fund's shareholders the performance that was available in the marketplace given each Portfolio's investment objectives, strategies, limitations and restrictions. In reviewing each Portfolio's performance, the Trustees noted that (i) the Money Market Portfolio's ranking against its Lipper performance universe was in the 1st quintile for the one-month, one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods; (ii) the U.S. Treasury Portfolio's ranking against its Lipper performance universe was in the 4th quintile for the one-month period, the 3rd quintile for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods and the 2nd quintile for the ten-year period; (iii) the U.S. Government Portfolio's ranking against its Lipper performance universe was in the 5th quintile for the one-month period and the 4th quintile for the one-year period; and (iv) the Municipal Portfolio's ranking against its Lipper performance universe was in the 1st quintile for the one-month and one-year periods (the 1st quintile is the highest quintile). <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 2) The performance of the Fund and the Manager, continued. In connection with its assessment of the performance of the Manager, the Trustees considered the Manager's financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to continue to carry out its obligations under the Investment Management Contract. The Trustees took into account, in this regard, the payments made by the Manager from its own resources to securities brokers, banks and financial institutions or other industry professionals or organizations whose customers are shareholders of the Fund ("Participating Organizations") in connection with distribution assistance and shareholder servicing provided by the Participating Organizations. The Trustees concluded that the Manager had the financial resources necessary to continue to perform its obligations under the Investment Management Contract and to continue to provide the high quality services that it had provided to the Fund to date. 3) The cost of the advisory services and the profits to the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund. In connection with the Trustees' consideration of the level of the management fees, the Trustees considered a number of factors. The Trustees compared the level of the management fees for the Portfolios and the level of the combined management-administrative fees against fees covering both advisory and administrative services charged to the funds in their respective Expense Peer Groups (noting that the only difference in the Expense Peer Groups from the Performance Peer Groups was that the Performance Universe was slightly larger than the Expense Universe). The Trustees also considered comparative total fund expenses of each class of the Portfolios and their respective Expense Peer Groups. The Trustees used this combined fee information and total expense data as a guide to help assess the reasonableness of each Portfolio's management fee, although they acknowledged that it was difficult to make precise comparisons with other funds since the exact nature of services provided under the respective Expense Peer Groups fund agreements is often not apparent. The Trustees also viewed the respective Expense Peer Groups fee information as a whole as useful in assessing whether the Manager was providing services at a cost that was competitive with other, similar funds. In assessing this information, the Trustees considered both the comparative contract rates as well as the level of the management fees after waivers and/or reimbursements. The Board noted that the contract rate of each Portfolio's management fee and combined fees (management and administrative) were reasonable when compared to the combined fees of the respective Peer Groups. The Trustees also noted that the Manager did not advise or sub-advise any other types of accounts, such as institutional or pension accounts, with similar investment policies to the Portfolios. The Trustees concluded that the level of each Portfolio's management fee was reasonable in light of these factors. The Trustees also considered the profitability to the Manager and its affiliates arising out of their relationships with the Fund. In this regard the Trustees reviewed profitability data relating to the Manager and its affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Trustees considered revenues received by the Manager under the Investment Management Contract and Administrative Services Contract. In reviewing the Manager's profitability reports, the Trustees and the Manager discussed the Manager's associated costs and the impact of such costs on the Manager's net profitability. The Trustees concluded that the profitability of the Fund to the Manager and its affiliates was not excessive. 4) The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale. With respect to the Trustees' consideration of economies of scale, the Trustees discussed with the Manager whether economies of scale would be realized by it in its management of the Fund at higher asset levels. The Trustees also discussed with the Manager whether certain of the Manager's costs would increase if asset levels rise and observed that as assets rise, the Manager and its affiliates may be required to pay increased fees to Participating Organizations. The Trustees also reviewed the respective Peer Groups data to assess whether the respective Peer Groups funds had advisory or administrative fee breakpoints and, if so, at what asset levels. The Trustees concluded that they were unable to assess at this time whether economies of scale would be realized if the Fund were to experience significant asset growth. In the event of significant asset growth in the future, the Trustees determined to reassess whether the management fees appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth. 5) Other Factors. In addition to the above factors, the Trustees acknowledged the importance of the ability of the Manager's affiliate, the distributor, to market the Fund through its distribution networks, including its customer service and administration system with banks and bank customers. Based on a consideration of all these factors in their totality, the Trustees, including all of the disinterested Trustees, determined that the Fund's management fees were fair and reasonable with respect to the quality of services that the Manager provides and in light of the other factors described above that the Trustees deemed relevant. The Trustees based their decision on evaluations of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all-important or controlling. The disinterested Trustees were also assisted by the advice of independent counsel in making this determination. <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) ================================================================================ <table> <caption> Trustees and Officers Information March 31, 2009(1) - -------------------------- ---------- -------------- -------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------ <s> <c> <c> <c> <c> <c> Position(s) Term of Principal Occupation(s) Number of Other Name, Address(2), Held with Office During Past Portfolios in Directorships and Age Fund and Length of 5 Years Fund Complex held by Time Overseen by Trustee Served(3) Trustee - -------------------------- ---------- -------------- -------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------ Disinterested Trustees: - -------------------------- ---------- -------------- -------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------ Albert R.
