SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

Millennium Funds, Inc.
December 31, 1999
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
We are pleased to present you the Millennium Funds Semi-annual Report. As of
12/31/1999, the Millennium Growth Fund gained 103% and the Millennium Growth &
Income Fund gained 98.7%, respectively, while the S&P 500 Index advanced by 21%.
As previously reported to you on our June 30 letter, 1999 unfolded with some of
the most volatile market conditions ever. Inflation fears, fluctuating CPI data,
and the hawkish Federal Reserve on one end and productivity gains, corporate
earnings momentum, and the deflationary force of the Internet economy on the
other end produced some of the most spectacular market moves ever seen.
Investment Outlook: Our overall market perspective remains extremely bullish. In
our judgment, federal budget surpluses, technology-related productivity
enhancements, strong US consumer, low unemployment rates, and continued low
inflationary forces provide a favorable backdrop for the equity markets.
Although we are positive on the markets, we do believe that extreme volatility
will continue. Therefore, individual equity selection will be of critical
importance versus ownership of a basket of sector equities. It is ever so
critical that we continue to invest diligently and with prudence.
We deeply appreciate having you as a shareholder in the Millennium Funds and
hope that you will keep our Funds as an integral part of your long-term
investment strategy.
Sincerely,
/S/ ROBERT A. DOWLETT

(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION:
The Millennium Growth Fund (the "Growth Fund") and the Millennium Growth &
Income Fund (the "Growth & Income Fund') are registered as non-diversified
open-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The Growth Fund's primary investment objective is growth of
capital. The Growth & Income Fund's primary investment objective is growth of
capital and dividend income. The Growth Fund commenced operations on July 16,
1997, and the Growth & Income Fund commenced operations on June 26, 1998.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
A. SECURITY VALUATION - Securities traded on national securities exchanges are
valued at the last sales price. Over-the-counter securities and listed
securities, for which no sales price is available, are valued at the last
bid price. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued
at cost, which, when combined with accrued interest receivable,
approximates value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under
the direction of the Board of Trustees.
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS - Security transactions are accounted for on the
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and
losses on security transactions are determined on the specific
identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is accrued daily.
C. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS - No provision for federal income taxes is
required since the funds intend to qualify as a regulated investment
companies and distribute all of their taxable income to their shareholders.
D. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - The funds record dividends
and distributions to shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
E. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS - The Growth Fund has incurred expenses of
$35,000 in connection with its organization. These costs have been deferred
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through July 15, 2002. The
Growth and Income Fund has incurred expenses of $42,687 in connection with
its organization. Those costs have been deferred and are being amortized on
a straight-line basis through June 25, 2003.

F. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make

liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"). Under this agreement, the Advisor provides the
Funds with investment advisory and management services for which the Funds pay a
fee at an annual rate of .95% of the average daily net assets of the funds.
The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. The Advisor has
agreed to reimburse the Funds to the extent necessary to limit aggregate annual
operating expenses to 1.45% of average net assets annually. Any such reductions
made by the Advisor in its fees or payments may be subject to reimbursement by
the Funds, if the Funds are able to effect such reimbursement and remain in
