SAMCO Fixed Income Portfolio .Notes to financial statements
April 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

                                                                         


1. Organization

The SAMCO  Fund,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  was  organized  as a
Maryland  corporation  on  August  4,  1997 and is  registered
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  as an
open-end,   non-diversified   management  investment  company.
The  Company  currently  has one  portfolio,  the SAMCO  Fixed
Income  Portfolio  (the  "Fund").  The costs  incurred  by the
Company  in  connection  with  the  organization  and  initial
registration    of   shares   are   being   amortized   on   a
straight-line  basis by the  Fund  over a  sixty-month  period
beginning   with  the   commencement   of  its  operations  on
December    30,    1997.    The    unamortized    balance   of
organizational expenses at April 30, 1998 was $90,628.

Investment Objective

The  Fund  is  designed  to  provide  investors  with a  total
return  which  consistently  exceeds  the total  return of the
broad U.S.  investment  grade bond  market.  Total  investment
return is the  aggregate of dividend  and interest  income and
realized    and    unrealized    capital    gains/losses    on
investments.   The  Fund  seeks  to  achieve   its   objective
through  superior  security  selection and emphasis on current
income, while maintaining a duration neutral posture.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management
to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Securities

Securities  transactions  are  recorded on a trade date basis.
Interest  income  and  expenses  are  recorded  on an  accrual
basis.  The Fund  amortizes  discount  or  premium  using  the
yield-to-maturity   method  on  a  daily  basis,   except  for
securities  having a maturity  date of less than sixty days at
the   time  of   acquisition   which   are   amortized   on  a
straight-line  basis.  Dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the
ex-dividend  date.  The Fund uses the specific  identification
method for determining gain or loss on sales of securities.

Income Tax

There is no provision  for Federal  income or excise tax since
the  Fund  intends  to  continue  to  qualify  as a  regulated
investment  company  ("RIC")  and  intends to comply  with the
requirements  of  Subchapter  M of the  Internal  Revenue Code
applicable  to  RICs  and to  distribute  all  of its  taxable
income.

Valuation

Securities  traded on an  exchange  are  valued at their  last
sales   price  on  that   exchange.   Securities   for   which
over-the-counter  market  quotations  are available are valued
at the  latest  bid  price.  Securities  purchased  with sixty
days or less  remaining  to maturity  are valued at  amortized
cost which approximates fair value.

Expenses

Seix  Investment  Advisors,  Inc. (the  "Investment  Adviser")
has agreed to  voluntarily  waive its fee and to reimburse the
Fund  for  expenses  exceeding  0.45%  of  average  daily  net
assets.   During  the  period  ended  April  30,   1998,   the
Investment  Adviser,  voluntarily  waived  $6,534 of  advisory
fees, and $31,978 for  reimbursement  of other expenses is due
from the Investment Adviser.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Dividends to Shareholders

It is the  policy  of the Fund to  declare  and pay  dividends
from  net  investment  income  monthly.   Dividends  from  net
short-term  capital gains and net long-term  capital gains, if
any, are normally  declared  and paid  annually,  but the Fund
may make  distributions  on a more  frequent  basis to  comply
with the  distribution  requirements  of the Internal  Revenue
Code.  To the extent that a net  realized  capital gain can be
reduced  by a capital  loss  carryover,  such gain will not be
distributed.

Income  and  capital  gain  distributions  are  determined  in
accordance  with federal tax  regulations  and may differ from
those   determined  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted
accounting  principles.  Permanent  book  and tax  differences
relating   to   shareholder   distributions   will  result  in
reclassifications  to  paid-in  capital  and  may  affect  the
distributable  amount  of net  investment  income  per  share.
Undistributed   net   investment   income,   accumulated   net
investment   loss,   or   distributions   in   excess  of  net
investment   income  may  include   temporary   book  and  tax
differences which may reverse in a subsequent period.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement

The  Company's  Board of Directors  has approved an investment
advisory  agreement  with  the  Investment  Adviser.  For  its
services  as   investment   adviser,   the  Company  pays  the
Investment  Adviser a monthly  fee at an annual  rate of 0.25%
of  the  Fund's  average  daily  net  assets.  Currently,  the
Investment Adviser is waiving all of its fee.

Pursuant  to  its   Administration   Agreement,   AMT  Capital
Services,  Inc. (the "Administrator"),  two employees of which
serve as officers of the  Company,  earns a fee for  providing
fund  administration  services  to the  Company.  The  Company
pays the  Administrator  a monthly  fee at the annual rate not
to exceed  0.15% of the  Fund's  average  daily net assets and
reimbursement  for  out-of-pocket  expenses  pursuant  to  the
Administration  Agreement.   Pursuant  to  the  Administration
Agreement,  the  Administrator  will be paid a minimum  fee of
$50,000  for  services  provided  to the Company for the first
twelve months after the fund commences operations.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchase   cost  and   proceeds   from  sales  of   investment
securities,   other  than  short-term  investments,   for  the
period ended April 30, 1998 were as follows:

      Purchases          Purchases             Sales                 Sales
   U.S. Government   Other Securities     U.S. Government       Other Securities

4. Investment Transactions (continued)

The components of net unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation)
of  investments  based on Federal  tax cost at April 30,  1998
for the Fund were as follows:

                                                               Cost for Federal
 Appreciation           Depreciation         Net Depreciation    Tax Purposes
 ---------------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------
   $6,240                ($25,457)             ($19,217)          $11,568,517

5. Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements  under which a
bank  or  securities  firm  that  is a  primary  or  reporting
dealer in U.S.  Government  securities  agrees,  upon entering
into a contract,  to sell U.S.  Government  securities  to the
Fund  and  repurchase  such  securities  from  the  Fund  at a
mutually agreed upon price and date.

The Fund will engage in repurchase  transactions  with parties
selected on the basis of such  party's  creditworthiness.  The
collateral  on  repurchase  agreements  must have an aggregate
market  value  greater than or equal to the  repurchase  price
plus  accrued  interest  at all  times.  If the  value  of the
underlying   securities   falls   below   the   value  of  the
repurchase  price  plus  accrued   interest,   the  Fund  will
require  the seller to deposit  additional  collateral  by the
next  business day. If the request for  additional  collateral
is  not  met,  or  the  seller   defaults  on  its  repurchase
obligation,   the  Fund   maintains  the  right  to  sell  the
underlying  securities  at  market  value  and may  claim  any
resulting  loss against the seller.  However,  in the event of
default or bankruptcy by the  counterparty  to the  agreement,
realization   and/or   retention  of  the  collateral  may  be
subject to legal proceedings.

6. Capital Share Transactions

As of April  30,  1998,  there  were  2,500,000,000  shares of
$.001 par value  capital  stock  authorized.  Transactions  in
capital stock were as follows:
