                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
CONTINENTAL MUTUAL INVESTMENT FUND, INC.

         We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Continental Mutual Investment Fund, Inc., as of December 31, 1995, and the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1995, and the supplementary schedule of selected per share data and ratios for
each of the ten years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements and per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and per share data and ratios based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data
and ratios are free of material misstatement. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 1995 by corresponding with
the custodian. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary schedule
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Continental Mutual Investment Fund, Inc. at December 31, 1995, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, and selected
per share data and ratios for each of the ten years in the period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        During the year The Board of Directors determined that it would be in
the best interest of the shareholders to liquidate the Company. On December 18,
1995, the Company made a distribution to the Company shareholders which
effectively liquidated the Company. The Company ceased operations effective
December 31, 1995.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1995


(1) LIQUIDATION

        During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Board of Directors
determined that it was in the best interest of the investors to liquidate
Continental Mutual Investment Fund, Inc. (Company). On December 18, 1995 a final
liquidation was made to all investors based upon their prorata investment in
the Company less an estimate of the remaining liquidation costs.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, open-end management company. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the
preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

    SECURITIES VALUATION

        The value of securities traded on any national exchange has been
determined at their last sales price on the year end date. Investments are
stated at value based on latest quoted market prices or at fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors.

    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

        It is the Company's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute sufficient taxable income to its shareholders to eliminate federal
income taxes (see note 4). 

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        The Company considers all nongovernment debt instruments of
nine months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

    OTHER

        As is common in the industry, security transactions are accounted for
on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts
and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the
respective security.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT

        The Company is a diversified, open-end management company (Mutual Fund)
investing in common stocks, bonds, U.S. government securities and other
investments. Substantially all investors are individuals, trusts, and
corporations which reside within the United States.

(3)  MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY FEES WITH RELATED PARTIES

        The Company has contracts with Fund Management & Research Corporation
     wherein Fund Management & Research Corporation acts as an investment 
     advisor to the Company.

        The investment advisory contract with Fund Management & Research
     Corporation provides for a monthly advisory fee of 1/6th of 1 percent of
     the average total net assets of the Company during that month. Investment
     advisory fees paid or accrued to Fund Management & Research Corporation in
     1995 amounted to $21,107.

        In addition, the Company pays to Fund Management & Research Corporation 
     $750 per quarter to act as dividend paying agent and for maintaining the 
     voluntary accumulation plan. A total of $3,000 was paid under this 
     agreement during 1995.

        Fund Management & Research Corporation pays commissions and salaries
     and provides office space, office facilities, and equipment for the
     Company under the terms of the agreement.

        The president of Fund Management & Research Corporation is also
     president of the Company. All of the outstanding capital stock of Fund
     Management & Research Corporation is owned by such officer.


(4)  TAX STATUS

        The Company qualifies as a regulated investment company for the year
     ended December 31, 1995, which requires it to distribute 90% of its
     taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Company distributed
     sufficient income on December 31, 1995 to eliminate any federal income tax
     liability for 1995.

(5)  SALES AND PURCHASES OF SECURITIES

        Realized gain on investments for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 
     computed on the first-in, first-out basis. There would have been no 
     difference in the gain if average cost had been used for the year then 
     ended. Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term 
     investments, were as follows for the year ended December 31, 1995:
