THE WALL STREET FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
         The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The primary
objective of the Fund is growth of capital. To achieve this objective the Fund
normally invests in common stocks, which, in the opinion of the investment
adviser offer prospects of sustained growth. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the
preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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) SECURITIES VALUATIONS - The fair value of investments is based on the
published last sale prices on national securities exchanges, or, in the absence
of recorded sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on such
exchanges or over-the-counter. When market quotations are not readily available
securities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the
Fund's Board of Directors.

(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - No provision for federal income taxes has been made
in the accompanying financial statements, since the Fund intends to continue to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of
its net investment income and net realized gains on investments.

(C) OTHER - Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are
purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net realized gains and losses are
determined on the identified cost basis. The 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 annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles.

(2) PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
         Purchases and sales of investment securities, during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 aggregated $9,835,763 and $15,060,518, respectively.

(3) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER:
         The advisory agreement provides for advisory fees of 1/16 of 1% monthly
(equivalent to 3/4 of 1% per annum) of the first $125,000,000 of average net
assets of the Fund. The present advisory agreement also provides for the adviser
to reimburse the Fund for any expenses (including the advisory fee but excluding
taxes, interest and brokerage fees and extraordinary expenses incurred in
connection with any matter not in the ordinary course of business of the Fund)
over 2% of the first $10,000,000, 1 1/2% of the next $20,000,000 and 1% of any
balance of the average daily net asset value.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1999, Wall Street Management
Corporation (WSMC) earned investment advisory fees of $61,915 with $29,561
reimbursed to the Fund for expenses.

         The adviser also serves as the Fund's principal underwriter. For the
six months ended June 30, 1999, WSMC received $28 as its portion of the sales
charge on sales of shares of the Fund. Certain of the officers and directors of
the Fund are officers and directors of WSMC.

         The Fund has arranged for American Data Services, Inc., of which the
Fund's Secretary and Treasurer is a principal, to prepare the accounting records
and perform administrative and transfer agent services for the Fund. Costs
incurred totalled $37,369 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Morse, Williams & Co., Inc. (MWC), 100% owner of WSMC, performs
administrative services for the Fund. This includes costs of shared office
expenses, rent, telephone charges and supply expenses. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999, no remuneration was paid by the Fund to MWC.

(4) CAPITAL STOCK:
         At June 30, 1999 there were 5,000,000 shares of $1 par value capital
stock authorized. Transactions in capital stock during the six months ended June
30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 were as follows:

Dear Stockholders,                                               July 15, 1999

         For the first six months of 1999, your Fund's net asset value per share
increased 16.2%. This performance was better than the S&P 500 and the benchmark
Russell 2000. Over the past twelve months ending June 30, 1999 your Fund's
return was 31.8%. CDA/ Wiesenberger ranked your Fund in the top 6% of all mutual
funds for the past year's performance.
         The market's breadth, as reported weekly in Barron's, showed sustained
improvement, which may bode well for continued positive developments. But within
this generally upward trend, we saw some extremely volatile returns from various
stocks and sectors. The Internet sector lost momentum completely during the
second quarter, with industry bellwether AOL declining from a high of $175 to a
low of $90. The large cap pharmaceuticals also ran into turbulence, with
full-blown corrections of 20% or more in such high caliber names as Pfizer. On
the other hand, the energy services sector, which had languished so long,
advanced as oil prices began what many are seeing as a further inexorable climb
towards $25. While these conflicting trends were at times disturbing to
individual holders, the overall trend is positive. We had long argued that a
market advance driven by an ever-narrowing list of companies was unsustainable
at best. A continued broadening of the market, to include smaller companies as
well as companies with arguably inexpensive valuations, should in the long run
be beneficial to the durability of any advance. We believe that the advance in
small to mid-cap names is soundly built, resting on such fundamental strengths
as a recognition of the commercial value of many bio-technology developments; a
growing acknowledgement that the Y2K issue and the "saturation" of the personal
computer market will not derail the advance of software and network innovation;
and finally, on superior valuation parameters which see these increasingly high
quality names selling at discounts to their growth rates.
         The Lehman Bond Index declined by 0.6% during the first half of the
year, as the 30 year Treasury yield climbed from 5.59% to 5.98%. More striking
is the change from the October 5th low point of a 4.74% yield to the June 25th
high of 6.16%. This increase, which many had feared might knock the props out
from under stocks entirely, was driven in part by evidence that the Federal
Reserve had adopted a "bias" towards tightening. The quarter point hike in the
Fed Funds rate that came at the end of June was accordingly fairly well absorbed
by the market. This is not the first time that the Fed has made noises, and let
the long end of the market essentially do the tightening on its behalf. This has
allowed the Fed to maintain its extraordinarily accommodative overall policy - a
policy which, we continue to believe, is driven by concerns over the fragility
of the global economy.

         Some of our investors have asked specifically about the global and
investment risks stemming from the Y2K issue, and concerns about the state of
worldwide, national and even local preparedness. At this point, we believe that
the impact may be felt in the following ways: We believe that corporate behavior
is to a large extent emulating individual preparedness actions. Some amount of
anticipation will affect purchasing decisions as we move through the balance of
the year. Overstocking now may lead to inventory dislocations early next year.
There is evidence that some companies are currently borrowing more than their
existing cash flow needs, the corporate equivalent of taking extra cash out of
your bank account in advance of New Year's eve. We do expect that the absolute
disruptions will be greater in Third World countries and in Europe than they
will be here, and that the disruptions here might approach those of the effects
of a sustained blizzard or storm. Because any uncertainties will be of an
extremely transitory nature, overt defensive action in a portfolio does not seem
to be indicated. As quality growth companies of the class that we own on your
behalf are generally impervious to modest economic fluctuations, we believe that
the portfolio is already fairly well positioned and many investments will
benefit from an eventual shift in corporate spending in favor of new
technologies for improved competitiveness in the new century.
         At mid-year, we have a market that has once again offered a
double-digit return to investors. The major risks are from the unquantifiable
and unpredictable, such as last year's near financial meltdown. Valuation does
not support major disappointments from fundamental expectations, as the recent
market action in some large cap names demonstrates. The market's struggle is
perhaps best framed by this question: Is AOL a bargain, having declined from
$175 or inexpensive based on earnings three years out? We believe that the
Federal Reserve will remain in a neutral to accommodative stance. We do expect
some slowing in year over year earnings growth, but do believe that the earnings
growth and inherent value in our portfolio names will be the key to future
investment success. As we have stressed before, we believe that the ability to
identify unassailable earnings growth in our investment opportunities will be
both our greatest challenge and our greatest value that we can add to the
management of your irreplaceable assets.

                                                            Sincerely,

                                                            /S/ ROBERT P. MORSE
