Income Distribution Date (7) Last day of June and December, commencing June 30, 2003. _____________ <FN> NOTES TO SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL INFORMATION (1) As of the close of business on the Initial Date of Deposit, we may adjust the number of Units of the Trust so that the Public Offering Price per Unit will equal approximately $10.00. If we make such an adjustment, the fractional undivided interest per Unit will vary from the amounts indicated above. (2) Each listed Security is valued at its last closing sale price on the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. If a Security is not listed, or if no closing sale price exists, it is valued at its closing ask price. Evaluations for purposes of determining the purchase, sale or redemption price of Units are made as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day on which it is open (the "Evaluation Time"). (3) The maximum sales charge consists of an initial sales charge, a deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee. See "Fee Table" and "Public Offering." (4) The Public Offering Price shown above reflects the value of the Securities on the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. No investor will purchase Units at this price. The price you pay for your Units will be based on their valuation at the Evaluation Time on the date you purchase your Units. On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public Offering Price per Unit will not include any accumulated dividends on the Securities. After this date, a pro rata share of any accumulated dividends on the Securities will be included. (5) Until the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period, the Sponsor's Initial Repurchase Price per Unit and Redemption Price per Unit will include the creation and development fee and estimated organization costs per Unit set forth under "Fee Table." After the initial offering period, the Sponsor's Initial Repurchase Price per Unit and Redemption Price per Unit will not include such creation and development fee and estimated organization costs. See "Redeeming Your Units." (6) See "Amending or Terminating the Indenture." (7) At the Rollover Notification Date for Rollover Unit holders or upon termination of the Trust for Remaining Unit holders, amounts in the Income Account (which consist of dividends on the Securities) will be included in amounts distributed to Unit holders. The Trustee will distribute money from the Capital Account monthly on the last day of each month to Unit holders of record on the fifteenth day of such month if the amount available for distribution equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. In any case, the Trustee will distribute any funds in the Capital Account as part of the final liquidation distribution. </FN> Page 3 Fee Table This Fee Table describes the fees and expenses that you may, directly or indirectly, pay if you buy and hold Units of the Trust. See "Public Offering" and "Expenses and Charges." Although the Trust has a term of approximately 13 months and is a unit investment trust rather than mutual fund, this information allows you to compare fees. Amount per Unit _____ Unit Holder Sales Fees (as a percentage of public offering price) Maximum Sales Charge Initial sales charge 1.00%(a) $.100 Deferred sales charge 1.45%(b) $.145 Creation and development fee 0.50%(c) $.050 _______ _______ Maximum Sales Charge (including creation and development fee) 2.95% $.295 ======= ======= Organization Costs (as a percentage of public offering price) Estimated organization costs .290%(d) $.0290 ======= ======= Estimated Annual Trust Operating Expenses(e) (as a percentage of average net assets) Portfolio supervision, bookkeeping, administrative and evaluation fees % $ Trustee's fee and other operating expenses %(f) $ ======= ======= Total % $ ======= ======= Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Trust with the cost of investing in other investment products. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Trust for the periods shown and then sell your Units at the end of those periods. The example also assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the Trust's operating expenses stay the same. The example does not take into consideration transaction fees which may be charged by certain broker/dealers for processing redemption requests. Although your actual costs may vary, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years ______ _______ _______ ________ $ $ $ $ The example assumes that the principal amount and distributions are rolled annually into a New Trust, and you are subject to a reduced transactional sales charge. _____________ <FN> (a) The combination of the initial and deferred sales charge comprises what we refer to as the "transactional sales charge." The initial sales charge is actually equal to the difference between the maximum sales charge of 2.95% and the sum of any remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee. (b) The deferred sales charge is a fixed dollar amount equal to $.145 per Unit which, as a percentage of the Public Offering Price, will vary over time. The deferred sales charge will be deducted in three monthly installments commencing June 20, 2003. (c) The creation and development fee compensates the Sponsor for creating and developing the Trust. The creation and development fee is a charge of $.050 per Unit collected at the end of the initial offering period which is expected to be approximately one month from the Initial Date of Deposit. If the price you pay for your Units exceeds $10 per Unit, the creation and development fee will be less than 0.50%; if the price you pay for your Units is less than $10 per Unit, the creation and development fee will exceed 0.50%. (d) Estimated organization costs will be deducted from the assets of the Trust at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period. (e) Each of the fees listed herein is assessed on a fixed dollar amount per Unit basis which, as a percentage of average net assets, will vary over time. (f) Other operating expenses do not include brokerage costs and other portfolio transaction fees. In certain circumstances the Trust may incur additional expenses not set forth above. See "Expenses and Charges." </FN> Page 4 Report of Independent Auditors The Sponsor, First Trust Portfolios L.P., and Unit Holders FT 664 We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets, including the schedule of investments, of FT 664, comprising Structured Portfolio Plan Defined Portfolio, Series 2 (the "Trust"), as of the opening of business on April __, 2003 (Initial Date of Deposit). This statement of net assets is the responsibility of the Trust's Sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of net assets based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of net assets is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of net assets. Our procedures included confirmation of the irrevocable letter of credit held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, the Trustee, and deposited in the Trust for the purchase of Securities, as shown in the statement of net assets, as of the opening of business on April __, 2003, by correspondence with the Trustee. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Trust's Sponsor, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of net assets. We believe that our audit of the statement of net assets provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the statement of net assets referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FT 664, comprising Structured Portfolio Plan Defined Portfolio, Series 2, at the opening of business on April __, 2003 (Initial Date of Deposit) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(2) An irrevocable letter of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, of which $500,000 will be allocated to the Trust, has been deposited with the Trustee as collateral, covering the monies necessary for the purchase of the Securities according to their purchase contracts. (3) A portion of the Public Offering Price consists of an amount sufficient to reimburse the Sponsor for all or a portion of the costs of establishing the Trust. These costs have been estimated at $.0290 per Unit. A payment will be made at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or at the end of the initial offering period to an account maintained by the Trustee from which the obligation of the investors to the Sponsor will be satisfied. To the extent that actual organization costs of the Trust are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs added to the Public Offering Price will be reimbursed to the Sponsor and deducted from the assets of the Trust. (4) Represents the amount of mandatory deferred sales charge distributions from the Trust ($.145 per Unit), payable to the Sponsor in three approximately equal monthly installments beginning on June 20, 2003 and on the twentieth day of each month thereafter (or if such date is not a business day, on the preceding business day) through August 20, 2003. If Unit holders redeem Units before August 20, 2003, they will have to pay the remaining amount of the deferred sales charge applicable to such Units when they redeem them. (5) The creation and development fee ($.050 per Unit) is payable by the Trust on behalf of Unit holders out of assets of the Trust at the end of the initial offering period. If Units are redeemed prior to the close of the initial offering period, the fee will not be deducted from the proceeds. (6) The aggregate cost to investors in the Trust includes a maximum sales charge (comprised of an initial and a deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee) computed at the rate of 2.95% of the Public Offering Price (equivalent to 2.980% of the net amount invested, exclusive of the deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee), assuming no reduction of the maximum sales charge as set forth under "Public Offering." </FN> Page 6 Schedule of Investments Structured Portfolio Plan Defined Portfolio, Series 2 FT 664 At the Opening of Business on the Initial Date of Deposit-April __, 2003 Number Percentage Market Cost of of Ticker Symbol and of Aggregate Value per Securities to Shares Name of Issuer of Securities (1) Offering Price Share the Trust (2) _____ ____________________________________ __________ ______ _______ Growth Strategy _______________ % $ $ % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % Page 7 Schedule of Investments (cont'd.)

The Sponsor entered into purchase contracts for the Securities on April __, 2003. Such purchase contracts are expected to settle within three business days. The Trust has a Mandatory Termination Date of April 26, 2004. (2)The cost of the Securities to the Trust represents the aggregate underlying value with respect to the Securities acquired (generally determined by the closing sale prices of the listed Securities and the ask prices of over-the-counter traded Securities at the Evaluation Time on the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. The valuation of the Securities has been determined by the Evaluator, an affiliate of the Sponsor. The cost of the Securities to the Sponsor and the Sponsor's profit or loss (which is the difference between the cost of the Securities to the Sponsor and the cost of the Securities to the Trust) are $ and $ , respectively. </FN> Page 9 The FT Series The FT Series Defined. We, First Trust Portfolios L.P. (the "Sponsor"), have created hundreds of similar yet separate series of a unit investment trust which we have named the FT Series. The series to which this prospectus relates, FT 664, consists of a single portfolio known as Structured Portfolio Plan Defined Portfolio, Series 2. The Trust was created under the laws of the State of New York by a Trust Agreement (the "Indenture") dated the Initial Date of Deposit. This agreement, entered into among First Trust Portfolios L.P., as Sponsor, JPMorgan Chase Bank as Trustee and First Trust Advisors L.P. as Portfolio Supervisor and Evaluator, governs the operation of the Trust. YOU MAY GET MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS CONCERNING THE NATURE, STRUCTURE AND RISKS OF THIS PRODUCT IN AN "INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT" BY CALLING THE TRUSTEE AT 1-800-682-7520. How We Created the Trust. On the Initial Date of Deposit, we deposited a portfolio of common stocks with the Trustee and in turn, the Trustee delivered documents to us representing our ownership of the Trust in the form of units ("Units"). After the Initial Date of Deposit, we may deposit additional Securities in the Trust, or cash (including a letter of credit) with instructions to buy more Securities, to create new Units for sale. If we create additional Units, we will attempt, to the extent practicable, to maintain the percentage relationship established among the Securities on the Initial Date of Deposit (as set forth in "Schedule of Investments"), and not the percentage relationship existing on the day we are creating new Units, since the two may differ. This difference may be due to the sale, redemption or liquidation of any of the Securities. Since the prices of the Securities will fluctuate daily, the ratio of Securities in the Trust, on a market value basis, will also change daily. The portion of Securities represented by each Unit will not change as a result of the deposit of additional Securities or cash in the Trust. If we deposit cash, you and new investors may experience a dilution of your investment. This is because prices of Securities will fluctuate between the time of the cash deposit and the purchase of the Securities, and because the Trust pays the associated brokerage fees. To reduce this dilution, the Trust will try to buy the Securities as close to the Evaluation Time and as close to the evaluation price as possible. In addition, because the Trust pays the brokerage fees associated with the creation of new Units and with the sale of Securities to meet redemption and exchange requests, frequent redemption and exchange activity will likely result in higher brokerage expenses. An affiliate of the Trustee may receive these brokerage fees or the Trustee may retain and pay us (or our affiliate) to act as agent for the Trust to buy Securities. If we or an affiliate of ours act as agent to the Trust we will be subject to the restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We cannot guarantee that the Trust will keep its present size and composition for any length of time. Securities may periodically be sold under certain circumstances, and the proceeds from these sales will be used to meet Trust obligations or distributed to Unit holders, but will not be reinvested. However, Securities will not be sold to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation or depreciation, or if they no longer meet the criteria by which they were selected. You will not be able to dispose of or vote any of the Securities in the Trust. As the holder of the Securities, the Trustee will vote all of the Securities and will do so based on our instructions. Neither we nor the Trustee will be liable for a failure in any of the Securities. However, if a contract for the purchase of any of the Securities initially deposited in the Trust fails, unless we can purchase substitute Securities ("Replacement Securities") we will refund to you that portion of the purchase price and transactional sales charge resulting from the failed contract on the next Income Distribution Date. Any Replacement Security the Trust acquires will be identical to those from the failed contract. Portfolio Objectives. The Trust's investment objective is to provide the potential for above- average capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of 100 common stocks selected through application of a two-part growth and value strategy. Market Volatility. Choosing stocks and the right investment vehicles in which to own them can be difficult, especially when the stock market is experiencing volatility, as it has in recent years. To contrast where the market's been over the past several years, consider that the market's annual total return, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500 Index"), was approximately 33% in 1997, while for 2001 and 2002 the market declined a total of approximately 31%. [Source of returns: S&P 500 Index website] Page 10 For many investors, the bull market that prevailed for most of the past decade meant that tremendous gains in their investment portfolios seemed simple, and inevitable. Optimism and wealth soared as technology and innovation helped propel stock prices to unprecedented levels. The past two years has shown us that nothing lasts forever, and bull markets can quickly become bear markets. Are you wondering where you should invest for growth potential, regardless of the conditions shaping the market? While no one can guarantee performance of an investment vehicle, history has shown that following a disciplined investment approach can be more advantageous than trying to time the market. It is our belief that sticking to this type of investment plan has the potential to help investors achieve attractive long-term performance over time. The Plan. The Trust seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index, which represents one of the most widely referenced benchmarks for the U.S. equity market, by adhering to a disciplined investment process that blends two distinct investing styles: growth and value. Comerica Securities believes that this approach offers investors a better opportunity for investment success, regardless of which investment styles prevail in the market. The Strategy. History has shown that the market has favored certain investment strategies over others. While many strategies often struggle or fail to outperform an appropriate benchmark, others enjoy a higher rate of success. Failure to outperform the benchmark often results from the inability to consistently adhere to a clearly articulated strategy. While past performance is no guarantee of the future, it remains a good resource for making inferences to what lies ahead. The portfolio for the Trust is selected through application of the following two strategy components as of ________, 2003. Part I - Growth Strategy Component. The companies selected for the growth strategy component, as of the date of selection, all have low price-to-sales ratios, annual earnings higher than in the previous year, high price momentum and liquidity. The growth strategy component stocks are selected as follows: Step 1: We begin with all the companies included in the COMPUSTAT(R) data base and identify those companies whose: (a) market capitalization exceeds $150 million; (b) year-over-year earnings per share growth exceeds 0%; and (c) price-to-sales ratios are 1.5 or less. Step 2: From the group of companies identified in Step 1, we select the common stock of the 50 companies with the highest total return over the last one-year time frame for inclusion in the Trust. Part II - Value Strategy Component. The companies selected for the value strategy component, as of the date of selection, all have higher than average sales and number of shares outstanding, large capitalizations, high net dividend yields and liquidity. The value strategy component stocks are selected as follows: Step 1: We begin with all the companies included in the COMPUSTAT(R) database and: (a) determine their average market capitalization; (b) determine their average number of shares outstanding; (c) determine their average cash flow; and (d) determine their average sales multiplied by 1.5. Step 2: We identify those companies whose: (a) market capitalization is greater than the average market capitalization determined above; (b) number of common shares outstanding is greater than the average number of shares outstanding determined above; (c) cash flow is greater than the average cash flow determined above; and (d) sales are equal to or greater than the average sales figure determined above. Step 3: From the companies identified in Step 2, we exclude all electric utilities. Step 4: From the companies identified in Step 3, we select the common stock of the 50 companies with the highest dividend yield for inclusion in the Trust. All 100 stocks selected above are then equally weighted for inclusion in the Trust. Comerica Incorporated ("Comerica") has been excluded from the universe of securities from which the Trust's Securities were selected. A Disciplined Philosophy. The Trust adheres to a disciplined "buy and hold" philosophy, which maintains that it is far better to purchase a well-chosen portfolio of stocks and to hold them for a period of time, rather than to "play the market." This philosophy requires an investor to have discipline and patience in using a consistent strategy based on sensible, rational methods for selecting stocks, and then sticking to the plan through market fluctuations. This philosophy can help eliminate the pitfalls of Page 11 investing emotionally and the temptation to buy or sell for various reasons that an investor cannot control: the volatility of the stock market, fluctuating interest rates, inflation and the overall economy, or unforeseen events that can affect the market. We believe this approach has the potential to reward investors over the long term, and allows them to be less concerned with the day-to-day fluctuations of the market. Based on the composition of the portfolio on the Initial Date of Deposit, the Trust is considered a ________ Trust. The style and capitalization characteristics used to describe the Trust are designed to help you better understand how the Trust fits into your overall investment plan. These characteristics are determined by the Sponsor as of the Initial Date of Deposit and, due to changes in the value of the Securities, may vary thereafter. In addition, from time to time, analysts and research professionals may apply different criteria to determine a Security's style and capitalization characteristics, which may result in designations which differ from those arrived at by the Sponsor. In general, growth portfolios include stocks with high relative price-to-book ratios while value portfolios include stocks with low relative price-to-book ratios. At least 65% of the stocks in the Trust on the Initial Date of Deposit must fall into either the growth or value category to receive the designation. Trusts that do not meet this criteria are designated as blend Trusts. Both the weighted average market capitalization of the Trust and at least half of the Securities in the Trust must fall into the following ranges to determine its market capitalization designation: Small-Cap-less than $1 billion; Mid-Cap-$1 billion to $5 billion; Large-Cap-over $5 billion. The Trust, however, may contain individual stocks that do not fall into its stated style or market capitalization designation. "S&P," "S&P 500," "Standard & Poor's" and "COMPUSTAT" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. The Structured Portfolio Plan Defined Portfolio, Series 2 is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's and Standard & Poor's makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in this Strategy. Please see the Information Supplement which sets forth certain additional disclaimers and limitations of liabilities on behalf of Standard & Poor's. Of course, as with any similar investments, there can be no assurance that the objective of the Trust will be achieved. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust. Risk Factors Price Volatility. The Trust invests in common stocks. The value of the Trust's Units will fluctuate with changes in the value of these common stocks. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons including changes in investors' perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, such as the current market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase. Because the Trust is not managed, the Trustee will not sell stocks in response to or in anticipation of market fluctuations, as is common in managed investments. As with any investment, we cannot guarantee that the performance of the Trust will be positive over any period of time, especially the relatively short 13-month life of the Trust, or that you won't lose money. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Certain of the Securities in the Trust are issued by companies with market capitalizations of less than $1 billion. Smaller companies present some unique investment risks. Small-caps may have limited product lines, as well as shorter operating histories, less experienced management and more limited financial resources than larger companies. Stocks of smaller companies may be less liquid than those of larger companies and may experience greater price fluctuations than larger companies. In addition, small-cap stocks may not be widely followed by the investment community, which may result in low demand. Dividends. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the Securities will declare dividends in the future or that if declared they will either remain at current levels or increase over time. Strategy. Please note that we applied the strategy which makes up the portfolio for the Trust at a particular time. If we create additional Units of the Trust after the Initial Date of Deposit, we will deposit the Securities originally selected by applying the strategy at such time. This is true even if a later application of a strategy would have resulted in the selection of different securities. There is no guarantee that the strategy or the investment objective of the Trust will be achieved. The actual performance of the Trust will be different than the hypothetical returns of the Trust's comparative index. Because the Trust Page 12 is unmanaged and follows a strategy, the Trustee will not buy or sell Securities in the event a strategy is not achieving the desired results. Legislation/Litigation. From time to time, various legislative initiatives are proposed in the United States and abroad which may have a negative impact on certain of the companies represented in the Trust. In addition, litigation regarding any of the issuers of the Securities, or of the industries represented by these issuers, may negatively impact the share prices of these Securities. We cannot predict what impact any pending or threatened litigation will have on the share prices of the Securities. Foreign Stocks. Certain of the Securities in the Trust are issued by foreign companies, which makes the Trust subject to more risks than if it invested solely in domestic common stocks. These Securities are either directly listed on a U.S. securities exchange or are in the form of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") which are listed on a U.S. securities exchange. Risks of foreign common stocks include higher brokerage costs; different accounting standards; expropriation, nationalization or other adverse political or economic developments; currency devaluations, blockages or transfer restrictions; restrictions on foreign investments and exchange of securities; inadequate financial information; and lack of liquidity of certain foreign markets. Securities Selection. While Comerica has carefully evaluated and approved the Securities in the Trust for this purpose, they may choose for any reason not to recommend any or all of the Securities for another purpose or at a later date. This may affect the value of your Units. You should note that Comerica, acting in its independent capacity as an investment advisor to individuals, mutual funds, employee benefit plans, and other institutions and persons, may from time to time distribute information concerning the Securities included in the Trust to various individuals and entities in which they recommend or affect the purchase or sale of one or more of the Securities. This may have an effect on the prices of the Securities which is adverse to the interests of Unit holders and may have an impact on the price paid by the Trust for Securities as well as the price received upon redemption or termination. You should also be aware that Securities will generally not be removed from the Trust and additional Units of the Trust may be created even if Comerica no longer believes certain or all of the Securities have the potential to achieve the Trust's objective over the life of the Trust or issues a sell recommendation regarding any of the Securities. In addition, Comerica in its general securities business acts as agent or principal in connection with buying and selling stocks, including the Securities, and may have bought the Securities for the Trust, thereby benefiting. Comerica also acts as market maker, underwrites certain issues and provides investment banking services to companies, which may include the issuers of certain of the Securities in the Trust. As of the date of this preliminary prospectus, the final portfolio for the Trust has not been selected. The final prospectus will identify those portfolio Securities for which Comerica acts as market maker and/or provides investment banking services. Hypothetical Performance Information The following table compares hypothetical performance information for the strategy employed by the Trust and the actual performance of the S&P 500 Index in each of the full years listed below (and as of the most recent quarter). These hypothetical returns should not be used to predict future performance of the Trust. Returns from the Trust will differ from its strategy for several reasons, including the following: - - Total Return figures shown do not reflect commissions paid by the Trust on the purchase of Securities or taxes incurred by you. - - Strategy returns are for calendar years (and through the most recent quarter), while the Trust begins and ends on various dates. - - The Trust has a maturity longer than one year. - - The Trust may not be fully invested at all times or equally weighted in all stocks comprising its strategy. - - Securities are often purchased or sold at prices different from the closing prices used in buying and selling Units. You should note that the Trust is not designed to parallel movements in any index, and it is not expected that it will do so. In fact, the Trust's strategy underperformed its comparative index in certain years and we cannot guarantee that the Trust will outperform the S&P 500 Index over the life of the Trust or over consecutive rollover periods, if available. S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen by Standard and Poor's to be representative of the leaders of various industries. Page 13 COMPARISON OF TOTAL RETURN(2) (Strategy figures reflect the deduction of sales charges and expenses but not brokerage commissions or taxes.)

(2)Total Return represents the sum of the change in market value of each group of stocks between the first and last trading day of a period plus the total dividends paid on each group of stocks during such period divided by the opening market value of each group of stocks as of the first trading day of a period. Total Return figures assume that all dividends are reinvested semi-annually. Strategy figures reflect the deduction of sales charges and expenses but have not been reduced by estimated brokerage commissions paid by the Trust in acquiring Securities or any taxes incurred by investors. Based on the year-by-year returns contained in the table, over the full years listed above, the Structured Portfolio Plan Strategy and S&P 500 Index achieved an average annual total return of 12.10% and 4.39%, respectively. Public Offering The Public Offering Price. You may buy Units at the Public Offering Price, the price per Unit of which is comprised of the following: - - The aggregate underlying value of the Securities; - - The amount of any cash in the Income and Capital Accounts; - - Dividends receivable on Securities; and - - The maximum sales charge (which combines an initial upfront sales charge, a deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee). The price you pay for your Units will differ from the amount stated under "Summary of Essential Information" due to various factors, including fluctuations in the prices of the Securities and changes in the value of the Income and/or Capital Accounts. Although you are not required to pay for your Units until three business days following your order (the "date of settlement"), you may pay before then. You will become the owner of Units ("Record Owner") on the date of settlement if payment has been received. If you pay for your Units before the date of settlement, we may use your payment during this time and it may be considered a benefit to us, subject to the limitations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Organization Costs. Securities purchased with the portion of the Public Offering Price intended to be used to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs (including costs of preparing the registration statement, the Indenture and other closing documents, registering Units with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and states, the initial audit of the Trust portfolio, legal fees and the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee) will be purchased in the same proportionate relationship as all the Securities contained in the Trust. Securities will be sold to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period (a significantly shorter time period than the life of the Trust). During the period ending with the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period, there may be a decrease in the value of the Securities. To the extent the proceeds from the sale of these Securities are insufficient to repay the Sponsor for Trust organization costs, the Trustee will sell additional Securities to allow the Trust to fully reimburse the Sponsor. In that event, the net asset value per Unit of the Trust will be reduced by the amount of additional Securities sold. Although the dollar amount of the reimbursement due to the Sponsor will remain fixed and will never exceed the per Unit amount set forth for the Trust in "Notes to Statement of Net Assets," this will result in a greater effective cost per Unit to Unit holders for the reimbursement to the Sponsor. To the extent actual organization costs are less than the estimated amount, only the actual organization costs will be deducted from the assets of the Trust. When Securities are sold to reimburse the Sponsor for organization costs, the Trustee will sell Securities, to the extent practicable, which will maintain the same proportionate relationship among the Securities contained in the Trust as existed prior to such sale. Minimum Purchase. The minimum amount you can purchase of the Trust is $1,000 worth of Units ($500 if you are purchasing Units for your Individual Retirement Account or any other qualified retirement plan). Transactional Sales Charge. The transactional sales charge you will pay has both an initial and a deferred component. The initial sales charge, which you will pay at the time of purchase, is equal to the difference between the maximum sales charge of 2.95% of the Public Offering Price and the sum of the maximum remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee Page 14 (initially $.195 per Unit). This initial sales charge is initially equal to approximately 1.00% of the Public Offering Price of a Unit, but will vary from 1.00% depending on the purchase price of your Units and as deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee payments are made. When the Public Offering Price per Unit exceeds $10.00, the initial sales charge will exceed 1.00% of the Public Offering Price. After the initial offering period, the initial sales charge will be reduced by the amount of the creation and development fee. Monthly Deferred Sales Charge. In addition, three monthly deferred sales charges of approximately $.0484 per Unit will be deducted from the Trust's assets on approximately the twentieth day of each month from June 20, 2003 through August 20, 2003. If you buy Units at a price of less than $10.00 per Unit, the dollar amount of the deferred sales charge will not change, but the deferred sales charge on a percentage basis will be more than 1.45% of the Public Offering Price. Discounts for Certain Persons. If you invest at least $50,000 (except if you are purchasing for "Fee Accounts" as described below) the maximum sales charge is reduced, as follows: Your maximum If you invest sales charge (in thousands)* will be _______________ ____________ $50 but less than $100 2.70% $100 but less than $150 2.45% $150 but less than $500 2.10% $500 but less than $1,000 1.95% $1,000 or more 1.20% * Breakpoint sales charges are also applied on a Unit basis utilizing a breakpoint equivalent in the above table of $10 per Unit and will be applied on whichever basis is more favorable to the investor. The breakpoints will be adjusted to take into consideration purchase orders stated in dollars which cannot be completely fulfilled due to the requirement that only whole Units be issued. The reduced sales charge for quantity purchases will apply only to purchases made by the same person on any one day from any one dealer. To help you reach the above levels, you can combine the Units you purchase of the Trust with any other same day purchases of other trusts for which we are Principal Underwriter and are currently in the initial offering period. In addition, we will also consider Units you purchase in the name of your spouse or child under 21 years of age to be purchases by you. The reduced sales charges will also apply to a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing Units for a single trust estate or single fiduciary account. You must inform your dealer of any combined purchases before the sale in order to be eligible for the reduced sales charge. Any reduced sales charge is the responsibility of the party making the sale. If you commit to purchase Units of the Trust, or subsequent series of the Trust, valued at $1,000,000 or more over a one-month period, commencing with your first purchase you will receive the reduced sales charge set forth above on all individual purchases over $100,000. You may use rollover proceeds from a previous series of the Trust, termination proceeds from other unit investment trusts with a similar strategy as the Trust, or your redemption or termination proceeds from any unit investment trust we sponsor to purchase Units of the Trust at the Public Offering Price less 1.00% (for purchases of $1,000,000 or more, the maximum sales charge will be limited to 1.20% of the Public Offering Price), but you will not be eligible to receive the reduced sales charges described in the above table. Please note that if you purchase Units of the Trust in this manner using redemption proceeds from trusts which assess the amount of any remaining deferred sales charge at redemption, you should be aware that any deferred sales charge remaining on these units will be deducted from those redemption proceeds. Investors purchasing Units through registered broker/dealers who charge periodic fees in lieu of commissions or who charge for financial planning, investment advisory or asset management services or provide these or comparable services as part of an investment account where a comprehensive "wrap fee" or similar charge is imposed ("Fee Accounts") will not be assessed the transactional sales charge described in this section on the purchase of Units. We reserve the right to limit or deny purchases of Units not subject to the transactional sales charge by investors whose frequent trading activity we determine to be detrimental to the Trust. Employees, officers and directors (and immediate family members) of the Sponsor, our related companies, dealers and their affiliates, and vendors providing services to us may purchase Units at the Public Offering Price less the applicable dealer concession. Immediate family members include spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and trustees, custodians or fiduciaries for the benefit of such persons. The Sponsor and certain dealers may establish a schedule where employees, officers and directors of such dealers can purchase Units of the Trust at the Public Offering Price less the established schedule Page 15 amount, which is designed to compensate such dealers for activities relating to the sale of Units (the "Employee Dealer Concession"). You will be charged the deferred sales charge per Unit regardless of any discounts. However, if you are eligible to receive a discount such that the maximum sales charge you must pay is less than the applicable maximum deferred sales charge, including Fee Accounts Units, you will be credited the difference between your maximum sales charge and the maximum deferred sales charge at the time you buy your Units. If you elect to have distributions reinvested into additional Units of the Trust, in addition to the reinvestment Units you receive you will also be credited additional Units with a dollar value at the time of reinvestment sufficient to cover the amount of any remaining deferred sales charge to be collected on such reinvestment Units. The dollar value of these additional credited Units (as with all Units) will fluctuate over time, and may be less on the dates deferred sales charges are collected than their value at the time they were issued. As Sponsor, we will also receive, and the Unit holders will pay, a creation and development fee. See "Expenses and Charges" for a description of the services provided for this fee. The Value of the Securities. The Evaluator will determine the aggregate underlying value of the Securities in the Trust as of the Evaluation Time on each business day and will adjust the Public Offering Price of the Units according to this valuation. This Public Offering Price will be effective for all orders received before the Evaluation Time on each such day. If we or the Trustee receive orders for purchases, sales or redemptions after that time, or on a day which is not a business day, they will be held until the next determination of price. The term "business day" as used in this prospectus will exclude Saturdays, Sundays and certain national holidays on which the NYSE is closed. The aggregate underlying value of the Securities in the Trust will be determined as follows: if the Securities are listed on a securities exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, their value is generally based on the closing sale prices on that exchange or system (unless it is determined that these prices are not appropriate as a basis for valuation). However, if there is no closing sale price on that exchange or system, they are valued based on the closing ask prices. If the Securities are not so listed, or, if so listed and the principal market for them is other than on that exchange or system, their value will generally be based on the current ask prices on the over-the-counter market (unless it is determined that these prices are not appropriate as a basis for valuation). If current ask prices are unavailable, the valuation is generally determined: a) On the basis of current ask prices for comparable securities; b) By appraising the value of the Securities on the ask side of the market; or c) By any combination of the above. After the initial offering period is over, the aggregate underlying value of the Securities will be determined as set forth above, except that bid prices are used instead of ask prices when necessary. Distribution of Units We intend to qualify Units of the Trust for sale in a number of states. All Units will be sold at the then current Public Offering Price. Dealer Concessions. Dealers and other selling agents can purchase Units at prices which reflect a concession or agency commission of 2.25% of the Public Offering Price per Unit. However, for Units subject to a transactional sales charge which are purchased using redemption or termination proceeds or on purchases by Rollover Unit holders, this amount will be reduced to 1.3% of the sales price of these Units (0.5% for purchases of $1,000,000 or more). Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents who sell Units of the Trust during the initial offering period in the dollar amounts shown below will be entitled to the following additional sales concessions as a percentage of the Public Offering Price: Total sales Additional (in millions) Concession _____________________ ___________ $10 but less than $12.5 0.05% $12.5 but less than $15 0.10% $15 or more 0.15% Dealers and other selling agents will not receive a concession on the sale of Units which are not subject to the transactional sales charge, but such Units will be included in determining whether the above volume sales levels are met. Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents include entities that are providing marketing support for First Trust unit investment trusts by distributing or permitting the distribution of marketing materials and other product information. Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents will not include firms that solely provide clearing services to other broker/dealer firms. Dealers and other Page 16 selling agents who, during any consecutive 12-month period, sell at least $250 million or $500 million worth of primary market units of unit investment trusts sponsored by us will receive a concession of $2,500 or $5,000, respectively, in the month following the achievement of this level. We reserve the right to change the amount of concessions or agency commissions from time to time. Certain commercial banks may be making Units of the Trust available to their customers on an agency basis. A portion of the transactional sales charge paid by these customers is kept by or given to the banks in the amounts shown above. Award Programs. From time to time we may sponsor programs which provide awards to a dealer's registered representatives who have sold a minimum number of Units during a specified time period. We may also pay fees to qualifying dealers for services or activities which are meant to result in sales of Units of the Trust. In addition, we will pay to dealers who sponsor sales contests or recognition programs that conform to our criteria, or participate in our sales programs, amounts equal to no more than the total applicable transactional sales charge on Units sold by such persons during such programs. We make these payments out of our own assets and not out of Trust assets. These programs will not change the price you pay for your Units. Advertising and Investment Comparisons. Advertising materials regarding the Trust may discuss several topics, including: developing a long-term financial plan; working with your financial professional; the nature and risks of various investment strategies and unit investment trusts that could help you reach your financial goals; the importance of discipline; how the Trust operates; how securities are selected; various unit investment trust features such as convenience and costs; and options available for certain types of unit investment trusts. These materials may include descriptions of the principal businesses of the companies represented in the Trust, research analysis of why they were selected and information relating to the qualifications of the persons or entities providing the research analysis. In addition, they may include research opinions on the economy and industry sectors included and a list of investment products generally appropriate for pursuing those recommendations. From time to time we may compare the estimated returns of the Trust (which may show performance net of the expenses and charges the Trust would have incurred) and returns over specified periods of other similar trusts we sponsor in our advertising and sales materials, with (1) returns on other taxable investments such as the common stocks comprising various market indexes, corporate or U.S. Government bonds, bank CDs and money market accounts or funds, (2) performance data from Morningstar Publications, Inc. or (3) information from publications such as Money, The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, BusinessWeek, Forbes or Fortune. The investment characteristics of the Trust differ from other comparative investments. You should not assume that these performance comparisons will be representative of the Trust's future performance. We may also, from time to time, use advertising which classifies trusts according to capitalization and/or investment style. The Sponsor's Profits We will receive a gross sales commission equal to the maximum transactional sales charge per Unit for the Trust less any reduction as stated in "Public Offering." We will also receive the amount of any collected creation and development fee. Also, any difference between our cost to purchase the Securities and the price at which we sell them to the Trust is considered a profit or loss (see Note 2 of "Schedule of Investments"). During the initial offering period, dealers and others may also realize profits or sustain losses as a result of fluctuations in the Public Offering Price they receive when they sell the Units. In maintaining a market for the Units, any difference between the price at which we purchase Units and the price at which we sell or redeem them will be a profit or loss to us. The Secondary Market Although not obligated, we intend to maintain a market for the Units after the initial offering period and continuously offer to purchase Units at prices based on the Redemption Price per Unit. We will pay all expenses to maintain a secondary market, except the Evaluator fees and Trustee costs to transfer and record the ownership of Units. We may discontinue purchases of Units at any time. IF YOU WISH TO DISPOSE OF YOUR UNITS, YOU SHOULD ASK US FOR THE CURRENT MARKET PRICES BEFORE MAKING A TENDER FOR REDEMPTION TO THE TRUSTEE. If you sell or redeem your Units before you have paid the total deferred sales charge on your Units, you will have to pay the remainder at that time. How We Purchase Units The Trustee will notify us of any tender of Units for redemption. If our bid at that time is equal to or greater than the Redemption Price per Unit, we may purchase the Units. You will receive your proceeds from the Page 17 sale no later than if they were redeemed by the Trustee. We may tender Units that we hold to the Trustee for redemption as any other Units. If we elect not to purchase Units, the Trustee may sell tendered Units in the over-the-counter market, if any. However, the amount you will receive is the same as you would have received on redemption of the Units. Expenses and Charges The estimated annual expenses of the Trust are listed under "Fee Table." If actual expenses of the Trust exceed the estimate, the Trust will bear the excess. The Trustee will pay operating expenses of the Trust from the Income Account of the Trust if funds are available, and then from the Capital Account. The Income and Capital Accounts are noninterest- bearing to Unit holders, so the Trustee may earn interest on these funds, thus benefiting from their use. First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of ours, acts as Portfolio Supervisor and Evaluator and will be compensated for providing portfolio supervisory services and evaluation services as well as bookkeeping and other administrative services to the Trust. In providing portfolio supervisory services, the Portfolio Supervisor may purchase research services from a number of sources, which may include underwriters or dealers of the Trust. As Sponsor, we will receive brokerage fees when the Trust uses us (or an affiliate of ours) as agent in buying or selling Securities. The fees payable to First Trust Advisors L.P. and the Trustee are based on the largest aggregate number of Units of the Trust outstanding at any time during the calendar year, except during the initial offering period, in which case these fees are calculated based on the largest number of Units outstanding during the period for which compensation is paid. These fees may be adjusted for inflation without Unit holders' approval, but in no case will the annual fee paid to us or our affiliates for providing services to all unit investment trusts be more than the actual cost of providing such services in such year. As Sponsor, we will receive a fee from the Trust for creating and developing the Trust, including determining the Trust's objectives, policies, composition and size, selecting service providers and information services and for providing other similar administrative and ministerial functions. The "creation and development fee" is a charge of $.050 per Unit outstanding at the end of the initial offering period. The Trustee will deduct this amount from the Trust's assets as of the close of the initial offering period. We do not use this fee to pay distribution expenses or as compensation for sales efforts. This fee will not be deducted from your proceeds if you sell or redeem your Units before the end of the initial offering period. In addition to the Trust's operating expenses and those fees described above, the Trust may also incur the following charges: - - All legal expenses of the Trustee according to its responsibilities under the Indenture; - - The expenses and costs incurred by the Trustee to protect the Trust and your rights and interests; - - Fees for any extraordinary services the Trustee performed under the Indenture; - - Payment for any loss, liability or expense the Trustee incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, in connection with its acceptance or administration of the Trust; - - Payment for any loss, liability or expenses we incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in acting as Depositor of the Trust; and/or - - All taxes and other government charges imposed upon the Securities or any part of the Trust. The above expenses and the Trustee's annual fee are secured by a lien on the Trust. Since the Securities are all common stocks and dividend income is unpredictable, we cannot guarantee that dividends will be sufficient to meet any or all expenses of the Trust. If there is not enough cash in the Income or Capital Accounts of the Trust, the Trustee has the power to sell Securities in the Trust to make cash available to pay these charges which may result in capital gains or losses to you. See "Tax Status." Tax Status This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning Units of the Trust. This section is current as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and these summaries do not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, these summaries generally do not describe your situation if you are a corporation, a non-U.S. person, a broker/dealer, or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section does not describe your state or foreign taxes. As with any investment, you should consult your own tax professional about your particular consequences. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service issued new withholding and reporting regulations effective January 1, 2001. Foreign investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of these regulations. Page 18 Trust Status. The Trust will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a Unit owner, you will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of the Securities and other assets held by the Trust, and as such you will be considered to have received a pro rata share of income (e.g., dividends and capital gains, if any) from the Trust asset when such income would be considered to be received by you if you directly owned the Trust's assets. This is true even if you elect to have your distributions automatically reinvested into additional Units. In addition, the income from the Trust which you must take into account for federal income tax purposes is not reduced by amounts used to pay Trust expenses (including the deferred sales charge, if any). Your Tax Basis and Income or Loss upon Disposition. If the Trust disposes of Securities, you will generally recognize gain or loss. If you dispose of your Units or redeem your Units for cash, you will also generally recognize gain or loss. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, you must subtract your tax basis in the related Securities from your share of the total amount received in the transaction. You can generally determine your initial tax basis in each Security or other Trust asset by apportioning the cost of your Units, generally including sales charges, among each Security or other Trust asset ratably according to their value on the date you purchase your Units. In certain circumstances, however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after you purchase your Units (for example, in the case of certain dividends that exceed a corporation's accumulated earnings and profits). If you are an individual, the maximum marginal federal tax rate for net capital gain is generally 20% (10% for certain taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets). The 20% rate is reduced to 18% and the 10% rate is reduced to 8% for long-term gains from most property acquired after December 31, 2000, with a holding period of more than five years. Because the Trust has a maturity of less than five years, the reduction in the capital gains rate for property held for more than five years could only possibly apply to your interest in those securities if you are eligible for and elect to receive an in-kind distribution at redemption or termination. Net capital gain equals net long-term capital gain minus net short-term capital loss for the taxable year. Capital gain or loss is long-term if the holding period for the asset is more than one year and is short-term if the holding period for the asset is one year or less. You must exclude the date you purchase your Units to determine your holding period. The tax rates for capital gains realized from assets held for one year or less are generally the same as for ordinary income. The Internal Revenue Code, however, treats certain capital gains as ordinary income in special situations. Rollovers. If you elect to have your proceeds from the Trust rolled over into the next series of the Trust, it is considered a sale for federal income tax purposes, and any gain on the sale will be treated as a capital gain, and any loss will be treated as a capital loss. However, any loss you incur in connection with the exchange of your Units of the Trust for units of the next series will generally be disallowed with respect to this deemed sale and subsequent deemed repurchase, to the extent the two trusts have substantially identical Securities or other Trust assets under the wash sale provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In-Kind Distributions. Under certain circumstances, as described in this prospectus, you may request a distribution of Securities (an "In-Kind Distribution") from the Trust when you redeem your Units or at the Trust's termination. By electing to receive an In-Kind Distribution, you will receive whole shares of stock plus, possibly, cash. You will not recognize gain or loss if you only receive Securities in exchange for your pro rata portion of the Securities held by the Trust. However, if you also receive cash in exchange for a Trust asset or a fractional share of a Security held by the Trust, you will generally recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the amount of cash you receive and your tax basis in the Trust asset or fractional share. Limitations on the Deductibility of Trust Expenses. Generally, for federal income tax purposes, you must take into account your full pro rata share of the Trust's income, even if some of that income is used to pay Trust expenses. You may deduct your pro rata share of each expense paid by the Trust to the same extent as if you directly paid the expense. You may, however, be required to treat some or all of the expenses of the Trust as miscellaneous itemized deductions. Individuals may only deduct certain miscellaneous itemized deductions to the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income. Foreign, State and Local Taxes. Some distributions by the Trust may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Any dividends withheld will nevertheless be treated as income to you. However, because you are deemed to have paid directly your share of foreign taxes that have been paid or accrued by the Trust, you may be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for U.S. tax purposes with respect to such taxes. Page 19 Under the existing income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Trust will not be taxed as corporations, and the income of the Trust will be treated as the income of the Unit holders in the same manner as for federal income tax purposes. Retirement Plans You may purchase Units of the Trust for: - - Individual Retirement Accounts; - - Keogh Plans; - - Pension funds; and - - Other tax-deferred retirement plans. Generally, the federal income tax on capital gains and income received in each of the above plans is deferred until you receive distributions. These distributions are generally treated as ordinary income but may, in some cases, be eligible for special averaging or tax-deferred rollover treatment. Before participating in a plan like this, you should review the tax laws regarding these plans and consult your attorney or tax advisor. Brokerage firms and other financial institutions offer these plans with varying fees and charges. Rights of Unit Holders Unit Ownership. The Trustee will treat as Record Owner of Units persons registered as such on its books. It is your responsibility to notify the Trustee when you become Record Owner, but normally your broker/dealer provides this notice. You may elect to hold your Units in either certificated or uncertificated form. All Fee Accounts Units, however, will be held in uncertificated form. Certificated Units. When you purchase your Units you can request that they be evidenced by certificates, which will be delivered shortly after your order. Certificates will be issued in fully registered form, transferable only on the books of the Trustee in denominations of one Unit or any multiple thereof. You can transfer or redeem your certificated Units by endorsing and surrendering the certificate to the Trustee, along with a written instrument of transfer. You must sign your name exactly as it appears on the face of the certificate with signature guaranteed by an eligible institution. In certain cases the Trustee may require additional documentation before they will transfer or redeem your Units. You may be required to pay a nominal fee to the Trustee for each certificate reissued or transferred, and to pay any government charge that may be imposed for each transfer or exchange. If a certificate gets lost, stolen or destroyed, you may be required to furnish indemnity to the Trustee to receive replacement certificates. You must surrender mutilated certificates to the Trustee for replacement. Uncertificated Units. You may also choose to hold your Units in uncertificated form. If you choose this option, the Trustee will establish an account for you and credit your account with the number of Units you purchase. Within two business days of the issuance or transfer of Units held in uncertificated form, the Trustee will send you: - - A written initial transaction statement containing a description of the Trust; - - A list of the number of Units issued or transferred; - - Your name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN"); - - A notation of any liens or restrictions of the issuer and any adverse claims; and - - The date the transfer was registered. Uncertificated Units may be transferred the same way as certificated Units, except that no certificate needs to be presented to the Trustee. Also, no certificate will be issued when the transfer takes place unless you request it. You may at any time request that the Trustee issue certificates for your Units. Unit Holder Reports. In connection with each distribution, the Trustee will provide you with a statement detailing the per Unit amount of income (if any) distributed. After the end of each calendar year, the Trustee will provide you with the following information: - - A summary of transactions in the Trust for the year; - - A list of any Securities sold during the year and the Securities held at the end of that year by the Trust; - - The Redemption Price per Unit, computed on the 31st day of December of such year (or the last business day before); and - - Amounts of income and capital distributed during the year. You may request from the Trustee copies of the evaluations of the Securities as prepared by the Evaluator to enable you to comply with federal and state tax reporting requirements. Income and Capital Distributions You will begin receiving distributions on your Units only after you become a Record Owner. The Trustee will credit dividends received on the Trust's Securities to the Income Account of the Trust. All other receipts, such as return of capital, are credited to the Capital Account of the Trust. Page 20 The Trustee will distribute any net income in the Income Account on or near the Income Distribution Dates to Unit holders of record on the preceding Income Distribution Record Date. See "Summary of Essential Information." No income distribution will be paid if accrued expenses of the Trust exceed amounts in the Income Account on the Income Distribution Dates. Distribution amounts will vary with changes in the Trust's fees and expenses, in dividends received and with the sale of Securities. The Trustee will distribute amounts in the Capital Account, net of amounts designated to meet redemptions, pay the deferred sales charge or pay expenses on the last day of each month to Unit holders of record on the fifteenth day of each month provided the amount equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. If the Trustee does not have your TIN, it is required to withhold a certain percentage of your distribution and deliver such amount to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). You may recover this amount by giving your TIN to the Trustee, or when you file a tax return. However, you should check your statements to make sure the Trustee has your TIN to avoid this "back-up withholding." We anticipate that there will be enough money in the Capital Account of the Trust to pay the deferred sales charge. If not, the Trustee may sell Securities to meet the shortfall. Within a reasonable time after the Trust is terminated, unless you are a Rollover Unit holder, you will receive the pro rata share of the money from the sale of the Securities. However, you may elect to receive an In- Kind Distribution as described under "Amending or Terminating the Indenture." All Unit holders will receive a pro rata share of any other assets remaining in the Trust, after deducting any unpaid expenses. The Trustee may establish reserves (the "Reserve Account") within the Trust to cover anticipated state and local taxes or any governmental charges to be paid out of the Trust. Distribution Reinvestment Option. You may elect to have each distribution of income and/or capital reinvested into additional Units of the Trust by notifying the Trustee at least 10 days before any Record Date. Each later distribution of income and/or capital on your Units will be reinvested by the Trustee into additional Units of the Trust. There is no transactional sales charge on Units acquired through the Distribution Reinvestment Option, as discussed under "Public Offering." This option may not be available in all states. PLEASE NOTE THAT EVEN IF YOU REINVEST DISTRIBUTIONS, THEY ARE STILL CONSIDERED DISTRIBUTIONS FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES. Redeeming Your Units You may redeem all or a portion of your Units at any time by sending the certificates representing the Units you want to redeem to the Trustee at its unit investment trust office. If your Units are uncertificated, you need only deliver a request for redemption to the Trustee. In either case, the certificates or the redemption request must be properly endorsed with proper instruments of transfer and signature guarantees as explained in "Rights of Unit Holders-Unit Ownership" (or by providing satisfactory indemnity if the certificates were lost, stolen, or destroyed). No redemption fee will be charged, but you are responsible for any governmental charges that apply. Certain broker/dealers may charge a transaction fee for processing redemption requests. Units redeemed directly through the Trustee are not subject to such transaction fees. Three business days after the day you tender your Units (the "Date of Tender") you will receive cash in an amount for each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit calculated at the Evaluation Time on the Date of Tender. The Date of Tender is considered to be the date on which the Trustee receives your certificates or redemption request (if such day is a day the NYSE is open for trading). However, if your certificates or redemption request are received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or after any earlier closing time on a day on which the NYSE is scheduled in advance to close at such earlier time), the Date of Tender is the next day the NYSE is open for trading. Any amounts paid on redemption representing income will be withdrawn from the Income Account of the Trust if funds are available for that purpose, or from the Capital Account. All other amounts paid on redemption will be taken from the Capital Account of the Trust. The IRS will require the Trustee to withhold a portion of your redemption proceeds if it does not have your TIN as generally discussed under "Income and Capital Distributions." If you tender at least 2,500 Units, or other such amount as required by your broker/dealer, for redemption, rather than receiving cash, you may elect to receive an In-Kind Distribution in an amount equal to the Redemption Price per Unit by making this request in writing to the Trustee at the time of tender. However, to be eligible to participate in the In-Kind Distribution option at redemption, Fee Accounts Unit holders must hold their Units through the end of the initial offering period. No In-Kind Distribution requests submitted during the nine business days Page 21 prior to the Trust's Mandatory Termination Date will be honored. Where possible, the Trustee will make an In-Kind Distribution by distributing each of the Securities in book-entry form to your bank or broker/dealer account at the Depository Trust Company. The Trustee will subtract any customary transfer and registration charges from your In-Kind Distribution. As a tendering Unit holder, you will receive your pro rata number of whole shares of the Securities that make up the portfolio, and cash from the Capital Account equal to the fractional shares to which you are entitled. The Trustee may sell Securities to make funds available for redemption. If Securities are sold, the size and diversification of the Trust will be reduced. These sales may result in lower prices than if the Securities were sold at a different time. Your right to redeem Units (and therefore, your right to receive payment) may be delayed: - - If the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); - - If the SEC determines that trading on the NYSE is restricted or that an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the Securities not reasonably practical; or - - For any other period permitted by SEC order. The Trustee is not liable to any person for any loss or damage which may result from such a suspension or postponement. The Redemption Price. The Redemption Price per Unit is determined by the Trustee by: adding 1. cash in the Income and Capital Accounts of the Trust not designated to purchase Securities; 2. the aggregate underlying value of the Securities held in the Trust; and 3. dividends receivable on the Securities trading ex-dividend as of the date of computation; and deducting 1. any applicable taxes or governmental charges that need to be paid out of the Trust; 2. any amounts owed to the Trustee for its advances; 3. estimated accrued expenses of the Trust, if any; 4. cash held for distribution to Unit holders of record of the Trust as of the business day before the evaluation being made; 5. liquidation costs for foreign Securities, if any; and 6. other liabilities incurred by the Trust; and dividing 1. the result by the number of outstanding Units of the Trust. Any remaining deferred sales charge on the Units when you redeem them will be deducted from your redemption proceeds. In addition, until the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period, the Redemption Price per Unit will include estimated organization costs as set forth under "Fee Table." Investing in a New Trust The Trust's portfolio has been selected on the basis of capital appreciation potential for a limited time period. When the Trust is about to terminate, you may have the option to roll your proceeds into the next series of the Trust (the "New Trust") if one is available. We intend to create the New Trust in conjunction with the termination of the Trust and plan to apply the same strategy we used to select the portfolio for the Trust to the New Trust. If you wish to have the proceeds from your Units rolled into a New Trust you must notify the Trustee in writing of your election by the Rollover Notification Date stated in the "Summary of Essential Information." As a Rollover Unit holder, your Units will be redeemed and the underlying Securities sold by the Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, during the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period. The Distribution Agent may engage us or other brokers as its agent to sell the Securities. Once all of the Securities are sold, your proceeds, less any brokerage fees, governmental charges or other expenses involved in the sales, will be used to buy units of a New Trust or trust with a similar investment strategy that you have selected, provided such trusts are registered and being offered. Accordingly, proceeds may be uninvested for up to several days. Units purchased with rollover proceeds will generally be purchased subject to the maximum remaining deferred sales charge on such units (currently expected to be $.145 per unit), but not the initial sales charge. Units purchased using proceeds from Fee Accounts Units will generally not be subject to any transactional sales charge. We intend to create New Trust units as quickly as possible, depending on the availability of the Securities contained in a New Trust's portfolio. Rollover Unit holders will be given first priority to purchase New Trust units. We cannot, however, assure the exact timing of the creation of New Trust units or the total number of New Trust units we will create. Any proceeds not invested on behalf of Rollover Unit holders in New Trust units will be distributed within a reasonable time after such occurrence. Although we believe that enough New Trust units can be Page 22 created, monies in a New Trust may not be fully invested on the next business day. Please note that there are certain tax consequences associated with becoming a Rollover Unit holder. See "Tax Status." If you elect not to participate as a Rollover Unit holder ("Remaining Unit holders"), you will not incur capital gains or losses due to the Special Redemption and Liquidation, nor will you be charged any additional transactional sales charge. We may modify, amend or terminate this rollover option upon 60 days notice. Removing Securities from the Trust The portfolio of the Trust is not managed. However, we may, but are not required to, direct the Trustee to dispose of a Security in certain limited circumstances, including situations in which: - - The issuer of the Security defaults in the payment of a declared dividend; - - Any action or proceeding prevents the payment of dividends; - - There is any legal question or impediment affecting the Security; - - The issuer of the Security has breached a covenant which would affect the payment of dividends, the issuer's credit standing, or otherwise damage the sound investment character of the Security; - - The issuer has defaulted on the payment of any other of its outstanding obligations; - - There has been a public tender offer made for a Security or a merger or acquisition is announced affecting a Security, and that in our opinion the sale or tender of the Security is in the best interest of Unit holders; or - - The price of the Security has declined to such an extent, or such other credit factors exist, that in our opinion keeping the Security would be harmful to the Trust. Except in the limited instance in which the Trust acquires Replacement Securities, as described in "The FT Series," the Trust may not acquire any securities or other property other than the Securities. The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will reject any offer for new or exchanged securities or property in exchange for a Security, such as those acquired in a merger or other transaction. If such exchanged securities or property are nevertheless acquired by the Trust, at our instruction they will either be sold or held in the Trust. In making the determination as to whether to sell or hold the exchanged securities or property we may get advice from the Portfolio Supervisor. Any proceeds received from the sale of Securities, exchanged securities or property will be credited to the Capital Account of the Trust for distribution to Unit holders or to meet redemption requests. The Trustee may retain and pay us or an affiliate of ours to act as agent for the Trust to facilitate selling Securities, exchanged securities or property from the Trust. If we or our affiliate act in this capacity, we will be held subject to the restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trustee may sell Securities designated by us, or, absent our direction, at its own discretion, in order to meet redemption requests or pay expenses. In designating Securities to be sold, we will try to maintain the proportionate relationship among the Securities. If this is not possible, the composition and diversification of the Trust may be changed. To get the best price for the Trust we may specify minimum amounts (generally 100 shares) in which blocks of Securities are to be sold. We may consider sales of units of unit investment trusts which we sponsor when we make recommendations to the Trustee as to which broker/dealers they select to execute the Trust's portfolio transactions, or when acting as agent for the Trust in acquiring or selling Securities on behalf of the Trust. Amending or Terminating the Indenture Amendments. The Indenture may be amended by us and the Trustee without your consent: - - To cure ambiguities; - - To correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision; - - To make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or - - To make other changes determined not to be materially adverse to your best interests (as determined by us and the Trustee). Termination. As provided by the Indenture, the Trust will terminate on the Mandatory Termination Date as stated in the "Summary of Essential Information." The Trust may be terminated earlier: - - Upon the consent of 100% of the Unit holders of the Trust; - - If the value of the Securities owned by the Trust as shown by any evaluation is less than the lower of $2,000,000 or 20% of the total Page 23 value of Securities deposited in the Trust during the initial offering period ("Discretionary Liquidation Amount"); or - - In the event that Units of the Trust not yet sold aggregating more than 60% of the Units of the Trust are tendered for redemption by underwriters, including the Sponsor. Prior to termination, the Trustee will send written notice to registered account holders which will specify how certificates, if any, should be tendered to the Trustee. If the Trust is terminated due to this last reason, we will refund your entire transactional sales charge; however, termination of the Trust before the Mandatory Termination Date for any other stated reason will result in all remaining unpaid deferred sales charges on your Units being deducted from your termination proceeds. For various reasons, including Unit holders' participation as Rollover Unit holders, the Trust may be reduced below the Discretionary Liquidation Amount and could therefore be terminated before the Mandatory Termination Date. Unless terminated earlier, the Trustee will begin to sell Securities in connection with the termination of the Trust during the period beginning nine business days prior to, and no later than, the Mandatory Termination Date. We will determine the manner and timing of the sale of Securities. Because the Trustee must sell the Securities within a relatively short period of time, the sale of Securities as part of the termination process may result in a lower sales price than might otherwise be realized if such sale were not required at this time. If you own at least 2,500 Units of the Trust, or such other amount as required by your broker/dealer, the Trustee will send the registered account holders a form at least 30 days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date which will enable you to receive an In-Kind Distribution of Securities (reduced by customary transfer and registration charges and subject to any additional restrictions imposed on Fee Accounts Units by "wrap fee" plans) rather than the typical cash distribution. See "Tax Status" for additional information. You must notify the Trustee at least ten business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date if you elect this In-Kind Distribution option. If you do not elect to participate in either the Rollover Option or the In-Kind Distribution option, you will receive a cash distribution from the sale of the remaining Securities, along with your interest in the Income and Capital Accounts, within a reasonable time after the Trust is terminated. Regardless of the distribution involved, the Trustee will deduct from the Trust any accrued costs, expenses, advances or indemnities provided for by the Indenture, including estimated compensation of the Trustee and costs of liquidation and any amounts required as a reserve to pay any taxes or other governmental charges.

Risk Factors Securities. An investment in Units should be made with an understanding of the risks which an investment in common stocks entails, including the risk that the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities or the general condition of the relevant stock market may worsen, and the value of the Securities and therefore the value of the Units may decline. Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile increases and decreases of value, as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation Page 1 and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises. Both U.S. and foreign markets have experienced substantial volatility and significant declines recently as a result of certain or all of these factors. Small-Cap Companies. While historically small-cap company stocks have outperformed the stocks of large companies, the former have customarily involved more investment risk as well. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources; may lack management depth or experience; and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments than large companies. Some of these companies may distribute, sell or produce products which have recently been brought to market and may be dependent on key personnel. The prices of small company securities are often more volatile than prices associated with large company issues, and can display abrupt or erratic movements at times, due to limited trading volumes and less publicly available information. Also, because small cap companies normally have fewer shares outstanding and these shares trade less frequently than large companies, it may be more difficult for the Trust to buy and sell significant amounts of such shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing market prices. Dividends. Shareholders of common stocks have rights to receive payments from the issuers of those common stocks that are generally subordinate to those of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks of, such issuers. Shareholders of common stocks of the type held by the Trust have a right to receive dividends only when and if, and in the amounts, declared by the issuer's board of directors and have a right to participate in amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the issuer have been paid or provided for. Common stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or provide the same degree of protection of capital as do debt securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or preferred stock will create prior claims for payment of principal, interest and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its common stock or the rights of holders of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. Cumulative preferred stock dividends must be paid before common stock dividends, and any cumulative preferred stock dividend omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders of cumulative preferred stock. Preferred stockholders are also generally entitled to rights on liquidation which are senior to those of common stockholders. Foreign Issuers. Since certain of the Securities included in the Trust consist of securities of foreign issuers, an investment in the Trust involves certain investment risks that are different in some respects from an investment in a trust which invests entirely in the securities of domestic issuers. These investment risks include future political or governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment or receipt of payment of dividends on the relevant Securities, the possibility that the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities may become impaired or that the general condition of the relevant stock market may worsen (both of which would contribute directly to a decrease in the value of the Securities and thus in the value of the Units), the limited liquidity and relatively small market capitalization of the relevant securities market, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, economic uncertainties and foreign currency devaluations and fluctuations. In addition, for foreign issuers that are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there may be less publicly available information than is available from a domestic issuer. Also, foreign issuers are not necessarily subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. The securities of many foreign issuers are less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable domestic issuers. In addition, fixed brokerage commissions and other transaction costs on foreign securities exchanges are generally higher than in the United States and there is generally less government supervision and regulation of exchanges, brokers and issuers in foreign countries than there is in the United States. However, due to the nature of the issuers of the Securities selected for the Trust, the Sponsor believes that adequate information will be available to allow the Supervisor to provide portfolio surveillance for the Trust. Securities issued by non-U.S. issuers generally pay dividends in foreign currencies and are principally traded in foreign currencies. Therefore, there is a risk that the U.S. dollar value of these securities will vary with fluctuations in the U.S. dollar foreign exchange rates for the various Securities. On the basis of the best information available to the Sponsor at the present time, none of the Securities in the Trust are subject to exchange control restrictions under existing law which would materially interfere with payment to the Trust of dividends due on, or proceeds from the sale of, the Securities. However, there can be no assurance that exchange control regulations might not be adopted in the future which might adversely affect payment to the Trust. The adoption of exchange control regulations and other legal restrictions could have an adverse impact on the marketability of international securities in the Page 2 Trust and on the ability of the Trust to satisfy its obligation to redeem Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption. In addition, restrictions on the settlement of transactions on either the purchase or sale side, or both, could cause delays or increase the costs associated with the purchase and sale of the foreign Securities and correspondingly could affect the price of the Units. Investors should be aware that it may not be possible to buy all Securities at the same time because of the unavailability of any Security, and restrictions applicable to the Trust relating to the purchase of a Security by reason of the federal securities laws or otherwise. Foreign securities generally have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be exempt from the registration requirements of such Act. Sales of non-exempt Securities by the Trust in the United States securities markets are subject to severe restrictions and may not be practicable. Accordingly, sales of these Securities by the Trust will generally be effected only in foreign securities markets. Although the Sponsor does not believe that the Trust will encounter obstacles in disposing of the Securities, investors should realize that the Securities may be traded in foreign countries where the securities markets are not as developed or efficient and may not be as liquid as those in the United States. The value of the Securities will be adversely affected if trading markets for the Securities are limited or absent.
