    Applicant's Representations
    
        1. Applicant is an open-end diversified management investment 
    company organized as a Maryland corporation. On March 4, 1988, 
    applicant registered as an investment company under the Act, and filed 
    a registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 
    and section 8(b) of the Act. The registration statement became 
    effective on July 13, 1988, and applicant's initial public offering 
    commenced immediately thereafter.
        2. On February 16,1994, applicant's board of directors approved an 
    agreement and plan of reorganization (the ``Plan'') between applicant 
    and TCW Funds, Inc. (``TCW Funds''), a registered, open-end management 
    company. The Plan provided for the transfer of all of the assets and 
    liabilities of applicant's sole series, the Money Market Portfolio, in 
    exchange for shares of TCW Galileo Money Market Fund (``Galileo''), a 
    series of TCW Funds.
        3. Definitive proxy materials relating to the Plan were filed with 
    the SEC on March 23, 1994, and proxy materials were mailed to 
    applicant's on or about March 25, 1994.
        4. On April 6, 1994, the SEC issued an order\1\ permitting 
    applicant to exchange its assets and liabilities for shares of Galileo, 
    provided that applicant's shareholders approved the exchange. In the 
    application requesting that order, it was stated that the reason for 
    the reorganization was to help reduce overall operating expenses 
    because of economies of scale achieved by spreading certain management 
    and administrative expenses over a larger asset base. Applicant's 
    shareholders voted to approve the Plan at a special meeting of 
    applicant's shareholders on April 20, 1994.

    20130 (Mar. 11, 1994) (notice) and 20201 (Apr. 6, 1994) (order).
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        5. As of May 23, 1994, applicant had 87,893,619 shares outstanding, 
    having an aggregate net asset value of $87,893,619, and a per share net 
    asset value of $1.00. On May 23, 1994, pursuant to the Plan, applicant 
    transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the TCW Funds, Inc. in 
    exchange for shares of Galileo. The aggregate net asset value of the 
    Galileo shares received was equal to the net asset value of applicant's 
    shares held. Applicant then distributed the Galileo shares it received 
    pro rata to its shareholders, in complete liquidation of applicant.
        6. No brokerage commissions were paid in connection with the 
    reorganization. The expenses applicable to the Plan, consisting of 
    accounting, printing, administrative, and certain legal expenses, are 
    estimated to be approximately $10,000. These expenses have been or will 
    be paid by TCW Funds Management, Inc., applicant's investment adviser.
        7. At the time of the application, applicant had no shareholders, 
    assets, or liabilities. Applicant is not a party to any litigation or 
    administrative proceeding. Applicant is not engaged in, nor does it 
    propose to engage in, any business activities other than those 
    necessary for the winding up of its affairs.
        8. Applicant intends to file Articles of Dissolution with the 
    Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation.
    
        For the SEC, by the Division of Investment Management, under 
    delegated authority.
