VAN WAGONER FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Organization
Van Wagoner Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was organized on October 18, 1995
as a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company.
The Capital Appreciation Fund and the Growth Fund (collectively, the
"Funds") are separate, diversified investment portfolios of Van Wagoner
Funds, Inc. The majority shareholder of the Funds is an affiliate of the
investment adviser.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(a) Investment Valuation - A security traded on a recognized stock
exchange is valued at the last sale price prior to the time when
assets are valued on the principal exchange on which the security is
traded. If no sale is reported on the valuation date, the most
current bid price will be used. All other securities for which over-
the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the
most current closing price. Debt securities which will mature in more
than 60 days are valued at prices furnished by a pricing service.
Securities which will mature in 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. Any securities for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds' investment
adviser pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Directors.
(b) Repurchase Agreements - During the term of a repurchase agreement, the
market value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest,
is required to equal or exceed the market value of the repurchase
agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is
held by the Funds' custodian.
VAN WAGONER FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
(c) Expenses - The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly
attributable to each portfolio, such as advisory and custodian fees.
Expenses that are not directly attributable to a portfolio are
typically allocated among the portfolios in proportion to their
respective net assets.
(d) Federal Income Taxes - Each Fund intends to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a
regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions
of income to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it
from all or substantially all federal income taxes.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income
and net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at
least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Each Fund may periodically make reclassifications
among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the timing and
characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions
determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may
differ from GAAP.
(f) Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date
basis. Each Fund determines the gain or loss realized from the
investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security
lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual
basis.
(3) Investment Advisory Agreement
The Funds have an agreement with Van Wagoner Capital Management, Inc. (the
"Adviser") to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the
terms of this agreement, the Adviser is compensated at the rate of 1.25%
and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Capital Appreciation Fund
and Growth Fund, respectively. The Adviser has agreed to voluntarily
reduce fees for expenses (exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes and
extraordinary expenses) that exceed the expense limitation of 1.95% for
each Fund until January 1, 1999. Expenses of $54,760 and $53,928 were
waived in the Capital Appreciation and Growth Funds, respectively.
