To Our Shareholders:
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, The Corporate Fund
Accumulation Program, Inc. provided a total investment return of
- -6.01%, based on a change in per share net asset value from $21.55
to $19.73, and assuming reinvestment of $0.540 per share income
dividends.
<PAGE>
The Environment
A sharp change in investor sentiment occurred during the six-month
period ended June 30, 1994. Following a series of better-than-
expected economic results, the Federal Reserve Board began to pursue
a less accommodative monetary policy, raising short-term interest
rates a total of four times from February through June month-end.
The expectation of increasing inflationary pressures and higher
interest rates initially heightened investor concerns and increased
financial market volatility during the period. However, as the
period drew to a close, it was the weakness of the US dollar in
foreign exchange markets that dominated the financial news and
prolonged stock and bond market declines.
The US dollar's weakness relative to other major currencies reflects
the deteriorating US trade deficit and widening net long-term
capital outflows. In 1993, an expanding US economy and recession in
other industrial countries led to a higher level of imports and
weaker export growth, widening the US trade deficit further. In
addition, global investors favored non-US dollar denominated assets
throughout 1993, which further depressed the dollar's value. This
trend has not improved significantly thus far in 1994 since foreign
inflows into US capital markets continue to decline, although US
investors are investing outside of the United States to a lesser
degree.
Over the longer term, if the economies of the United States' major
trading partners expand (improving the prospects for US export
growth), the outlook for the US dollar is likely to improve. In the
near term, central banks have attempted to reverse the dollar's
decline through currency market intervention. These efforts have met
with limited success thus far, giving rise to concern that the
Federal Reserve Board will be forced to continue to raise short-term
interest rates to attract investment capital back to the United
States and bolster the dollar's value. However, further interest
rate increases may jeopardize the US economic expansion. In the
weeks ahead, investors will continue to assess economic data and
inflationary trends as they focus on the US dollar in order to gauge
whether further increases in short-term interest rates are imminent.
Portfolio Matters
During the first half of 1994 interest rates rose at the fastest
pace in a decade. This was largely the result of the Federal Reserve
Board's tightening short-term interest rates four times during the
period. While the rate of inflation remained contained, other
factors contributed to the jump in interest rates. These included
the collapse of trade talks with Japan, which led to a drop in the
value of the US dollar to a historic low in relation to the yen. The
market also responded to the uncertainty surrounding the growing
tension on the Korean peninsula, the Whitewater situation and the
assassination of a Mexican presidential candidate. During the June
period, the long-term US Treasury interest rate rose from 6.41% to
7.61%.
<PAGE>
During the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, we shortened the
average maturity of the portfolio from 9.43 years to 7.14 years, and
we reduced the duration from 5.88 years to 4.61 years. This was
accomplished through the sale of long-term maturity issues of
electric utility companies which we believe will be coming under
competitive pressure. We also reduced our holdings of banks and
thrift institutions. We invested the proceeds in consumer financial
services and foreign sovereign credits. In addition, we increased
cash and liquid holdings as well. This cautious strategy reflected
our concern that interest rates would continue to rise.
In Conclusion
We appreciate your ongoing interest in The Corporate Fund
Accumulation Program, Inc., and we look forward to sharing our
investment strategy with you in our upcoming annual report to
shareholders.
Sincerely,
(Arthur Zeikel)

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Corporate Fund Accumulation Program, Inc. (the "Program") is
registered under the Management Investment Company Act of 1940 as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Program.
(a) Valuation of securities--Portfolio securities are valued by the
Program's pricing agent, Interactive Data Services, Inc. These
values are not bids or actual last sale prices but are estimates of
the price at which the pricing agent believes the Program could sell
such portfolio securities. The Board of Directors has examined the
methods to be used by the Program's pricing agent in estimating the
value of portfolio securities and believes that such methods will
reasonably and fairly approximate the price at which portfolio
securities may be sold and will result in a good faith determination
of the fair value of such securities. Short-term securities are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

(b) Income taxes--It is the Program's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.
(c) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered
into (the trade dates). Interest income (including amortization of
premium and discount) is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized
gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis.
(d) Prepaid registration fees--Prepaid registration fees are charged
to expense as the related shares are issued.
(e) Dividends to shareholders--Dividends from net investment income
are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates.
