Summary of Accounting Policies Institutional Daily Income Fund (the "Fund") is a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund offers investors three managed portfolios of money market instruments: U.S. Treasury Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio and Municipal Portfolio. Presently only the Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Treasury Portfolio have been activated. The Money Market and U.S. Treasury Portfolios each have three classes of stock authorized, Class A, Class B and Pinnacle shares. The Class A shares of each Portfolio are subject to a service fee pursuant to each Portfolio's distribution and service plan. The Class B and Pinnacle shares are not subject to a service fee. Additionally, each Portfolio may allocate among its classes certain expenses, to the extent allowable to specific classes, including transfer agent fees, government registration fees, certain printing and postage costs, and administrative and legal expenses. Class specific expenses of the Fund were limited to shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent expenses. In all other respects, all share classes represent the same interest in the income and assets of each respective Portfolio. The distribution of the Pinnacle shares commenced on July 29, 1999. 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 valued at amortized cost. Under this valuation 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. b) 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 all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. c) Dividends and Distributions - Dividends from investment income (including net realized short-term capital gains) are declared daily, paid monthly and taxable as ordinary income. Capital gains distributions if any, will be made at least annually and in no event later than sixty days after the end of the Fund's fiscal year. d) Use of 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. e) General - Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, including accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. It is the Fund's policy to take possession of securities as collateral under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that the value of such securities is sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 2.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Board believes that the collective experience of the audit committee members, including their long-standing service as audit committee members, is sufficient to effectively carry out the role and obligations of the audit committee. In making its determination, the Board considered, among other things, the nature of investment company financials, and the fact that the audit committee is able to consult with the registrant's independent accountants and to seek outside advice, as it deems appropriate.
