                                 ANNUAL REPORT
                                  MAY 31, 2000

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thank you for your investment in the Badgley Funds. We sincerely appreciate the
trust you have placed in our mutual fund team.

During the last year the Badgley Funds assets have grown to over $36.6 million,
an increase of about 59%. We are proud of this growth in Fund assets.

This Badgley Funds, Inc. Annual Report reviews the activities of the Badgley
Growth Fund and the Badgley Balanced Fund for the twelve months ending May 31,
2000. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited our financial statements.

POSITIVE PERFORMANCE. FUND OBJECTIVES MET.

As this report details, performance of both the Badgley Growth Fund and the
Badgley Balanced Fund were positive over the last twelve months. The total
returns for the Funds were 15.86% and 9.23% respectively. This performance
compares very well with our benchmarks for the same period, the S&P 500 (10.48%)
and Lehman Brothers Intermediate Govt./Corp. Bond Index (2.49%) (please see the
fund graphs in the following pages).

Annualized portfolio turnover rates remain very low when compared to other
growth and balanced mutual funds. Turnover rates were 25.88% (Badgley Growth
Fund) and 28.78% (Badgley Balanced Fund).

The objective of the Badgley Growth Fund is long-term capital appreciation while
that of the Badgley Balanced Fund is long-term capital appreciation and income.
Over the last twelve months we met these objectives by investing in stocks of
companies that exhibit consistent and predictable earnings growth, solid balance
sheets, market dominance, and strong management. In addition to this equity
focus, in our Badgley Balanced Fund we met objectives by investing in
intermediate duration bonds characterized by high credit quality, liquidity and
higher relative values.

RECAP OF A VOLATILE MARKET: STOCKS & BONDS.

Our disciplined, long-term approach to the management of your Funds has
continued to pay off over the last twelve months. During this period many
investors chased returns by moving quickly from stock to stock. This behavior,
which included a good dose of sector rotation, increased volatility in the U.S.
stock market, creating one of the worst performing weeks (the week ending April
14) in capital market history.

Volatility was most extreme in the market's hottest sector, technology. Although
performance in this group led the market with an almost 50% return, it masked
the huge decline in the sector in April and May. During these two months, the
technology sector was down more than 50% from its high. Our stock selection in
this segment of the market proved solid as our selections outperformed this
segment of the S&P 500 Index. Three of our companies, Cisco, EMC and Intel,
returned over 100% for the last twelve months.

                                 ANNUAL REPORT
                                  MAY 31, 2000

Our commitment to a diversified portfolio, and our long-term view, kept us
invested in the healthcare field throughout the year. Many investors had taken
the view that political risks were too high. In the face of this challenge, the
group performed well and our selections in this sector, such as Medtronic (+56%)
and Pfizer (+32%), led to our out-performance.

This last year was also a good example of how our commitment to owning the best
companies pays off in sectors that may be out of favor. Due to rising rates,
both financial and utility sectors were challenged, but the strength of our
holdings, American International Group (+28%), State Street Corporation (+61%),
and AES Corporation (+71%), led to solid returns. Even in the difficult consumer
segments of the market, which finished the last twelve months in negative
territory, we had strong performance from several holdings, including Home Depot
(+25%), Starbucks (29%), and Sysco Foods (+44%). As always, we continue to
position the Funds in companies that can weather challenging economic
environments.

Similar to our equities approach, our dedicated approach to fixed income
investing led to overall positive returns during a period of tremendous bond
volatility. Three main themes contributed to this challenging bond market:
rising interest rates, an inverted yield curve, and budget surpluses resulting
in decreasing Treasury bond supply.

The Federal Reserve began raising short-term interest rates in June 1999. This
was an attempt to ward off inflation threats as the economy continued its fiery
expansion; however, it wasn't until the fourth quarter that interest rates
soared an average of 2% in the 2-10 year maturity range.

The fixed income markets did manage to recover in the first half of 2000 as
investors flocked to high quality bonds when NASDAQ stocks began to take a
serious beating. Also during the first quarter we experienced a relatively
unusual phenomenon--an inversion of the yield curve. An inversion occurs when
short-term interest rates exceed long-term rates. An inversion happens
infrequently and is usually short-lived as bond investors generally require more
yield on bonds with longer maturities than those with shorter maturities.
Initially the inversion was triggered by investors' expectations that the Fed
would continue its bias towards increasing short-term interest rates, but the
severity and prolonged nature of the curve's continued inversion is now being
attributed to expectations of a reduction in Treasury bond supply.

The U.S. government, which has been running budget surpluses in the last three
years and anticipates more in the foreseeable future, has begun to "buy back"
Treasury bonds to lower its current marketable debt. Additionally, the
government also has announced a reduction in future bond issuance. These
supply-reducing events are beginning to change the dynamics in the bond market.
With current and future supply of Treasuries dwindling, the fixed income markets
are grappling with finding a new "risk-free" asset to measure the merits of all
other asset classes. Despite the volatility in these markets, we remain true to
our discipline of being fully invested and focused on the best values in high
quality bonds.

THIS CHART ASSUMES AN INITIAL GROSS INVESTMENT OF $10,000 MADE ON 6/25/98
(COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS). RETURNS SHOWN INCLUDE THE REINVESTMENT OF ALL
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. IN THE ABSENCE OF FEE WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS,
TOTAL RETURN WOULD BE REDUCED. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE
PERFORMANCE. INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE, SO THAT YOUR
SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL COST.

                                  MAY 31, 2000

1. ORGANIZATION

   Badgley Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated on April 28, 1998,
   as a Maryland Corporation and is registered as an open-end management
   investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Badgley
   Balanced Fund (the "Balanced Fund") and the Badgley Growth Fund (the "Growth
   Fund") (collectively referred to as the "Funds") are separate, diversified
   investment portfolios of the Corporation. The principal investment objective
   of the Balanced Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income.
   The principal investment objective of the Growth Fund is to seek long-term
   capital appreciation. The Funds commenced operations on June 25, 1998.

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.

   a) Investment Valuation -- Common stocks, other equity-type securities and
     fixed income securities with a maturity greater than 60 days are valued at
     the last sales price on the national securities exchange on which such
     securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a national securities
     exchange for which there were no transactions on a given day and securities
     not listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the average of
     the most recent bid and asked prices. Any securities or other assets for
     which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
     as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
     Instruments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at
     amortized cost, which approximates market value.

   b) Federal Income Taxes -- No provision for federal income taxes has been
     made since the Funds have complied to date with the provisions of the
     Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
     intend to continue to so comply in future years and to distribute
     substantially all of the Funds' investment company net taxable income and
     net realized gains to shareholders.

     Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent differences
     between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between
     various components of net assets.

   c) Income and Expenses -- The Funds are charged for those expenses that are
     directly attributable to each portfolio, such as advisory, administration
     and certain shareholder service fees. Expenses that are not directly
     attributable to a portfolio are typically allocated among the Funds in
     proportion to their respective net assets, number of shareholder accounts
     or net sales, where applicable.

   d) Distributions to Shareholders -- Dividends from net investment income of
     the Balanced Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from net
     investment income of the Growth Fund are declared and paid annually. The
     Funds' net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least
     annually.

   e) Organization Costs -- The costs incurred in connection with the
     organization, initial registration and public offering of shares,
     aggregating $26,461 for the Balanced Fund and Growth Fund each, have been

                                       20

                                  MAY 31, 2000

     paid by the Funds. These costs are being amortized over the period of
     benefit, but not to exceed sixty months from the Funds' commencement of
     operations.

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

   g) Other -- Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade
     date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment
     transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with
     the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend
     date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

   At May 31, 2000, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
   $22,419,537 and $9,969,686 for the Balanced Fund and the Growth Fund,
   respectively.

   At May 31, 2000, the Growth Fund had accumulated net realized capital loss
   carryovers of $52,331. The capital loss carryovers for the Growth Fund of
   $1,864 and $50,467 expire in 2007 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the
   Balanced Fund realized, on a tax basis, post-October losses through May 31,
   2000 of $27,404. These losses are not recognized for tax purposes until the
   first day of the following fiscal year.

   On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent
   book-to-tax differences, undistributed net investment income has been
   increased, and capital stock decreased by $3,568 and $68,728 for the Balanced
   Fund and Growth Fund, respectively. These permanent book-to-tax differences
   are the result of non-deductible organization costs and net operating losses.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

   The Corporation has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with
   Badgley, Phelps and Bell, Inc. (the "Adviser"), with whom certain officers
   and Directors of the Corporation are affiliated, to furnish investment
   advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, the
   Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, compensates the Adviser for its
   management services at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Balanced Fund's
   average daily net assets and 1.00% of the Growth Fund's average daily net
   assets. The advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.

   For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 and through September 30, 2000, the
   Adviser has agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Funds'
   other expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Balanced Fund's
   total operating expenses do not exceed 1.30% of its average daily net assets
   and that the Growth Fund's total operating expenses do not exceed 1.50% of
   its average daily net assets. Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to
   later adjustment during the term of the Agreement to allow the Adviser to
   recoup amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses
   for a period are less than the expense limitation caps, provided, however,
   that the Adviser shall only be entitled to recoup such amounts for a period
   of three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed. For the
   period ended May 31, 2000, the Adviser waived/reimbursed expenses of $133,024
   and $127,681 for the Balanced Fund and Growth Fund, respectively.

   "Distributor") a distribution and shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of each

   portion of the fee may be used by the Distributor to pay costs of printing
   reports and prospectuses for potential investors and the costs of other
   distribution and shareholder servicing expenses. During the period ended May

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Badgley Funds, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Badgley Balanced Fund and the
Badgley Growth Fund (constituting Badgley Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as
the "Funds") at May 31, 2000, the results of each of their operations for the
year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31,
2000 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.
