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. 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. These actions were taken in advance of anticipated rule changes by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which were formally proposed for comments in July, 2009. 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 equity, 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 SEPTEMBER 30, 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 April 1, 2009 through September 30, 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 4/01/09 09/30/09 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 April 1, 2009 through September 30, 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 4/01/09 09/30/09 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 April 1, 2009 through September 30, 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 05/05/09 09/30/09 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 April 1, 2009 through September 30, 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 04/01/09 09/30/09 During the Period* Expense Ratio* -

The interest rates are adjustable and are based on bank prime rates or other interest rate adjustment indices.

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 period ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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) (UNAUDITED) =============================================================================== 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. The fee waivers that are eligible for reimbursement are calculated and reported as of each fiscal year end.

Tax Information The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to each Portfolio's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under U.S. income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may effect the amount of capital loss carryforward available for the Portfolios to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the result of future transactions. At March 31, 2009, the Fund had capital loss transactions available for Federal income tax purposes and to be applied against future gains, if any. The capital loss transactions were as follows: <table> <caption> Capital Loss Capital Loss Expiration of Utilized Remaining Carryforwards ------- --------- ------------- <s> <c> <c> <c> Money Market Portfolio -0- $ 233 2016 1,853,397 2017 --------- Total Money Market Portfolio 1,853,630 U.S. Treasury Portfolio -0- -0- N/A U.S. Government Portfolio -0- 12,734 2014 54,070 2016 12,623 2017 --------- Total U.S. Government Portfolio 79,427 Municipal Portfolio $10,501 -0- N/A </table> <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY INCOME FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) ================================================================================ 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 a 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.
