KEYCO BOND FUND, INC.

Southfield, Michigan 48034
(248) 353-0790
May 22, 1998
To Our Shareholders:
We are pleased to send you this Semi-Annual Report of Keyco Bond Fund, Inc.
for the six-month period ended March 31, 1998.
Net investment income for the six months was $754,426 or $.60 per share
compared with $772,914 or $.61 per share last year. The $18,488 decrease
resulted primarily from lower interest income. Interest income decreased
because interest rates on new bonds purchased in recent years have been
lower than the interest rates on the bonds which they replaced.
During the period, ten bonds were called or sold. The $3,168,738 proceeds
from these dispositions were reinvested in bonds maturing in ten to sixteen
years. Portfolio turnover for the six-month period was 11.9%.
The net asset value of the Fund was $27,397,370 or $21.62 per share at March
31, 1998, which was an increase of $274,312 or $.22 per share from September
30, 1997. This increase is primarily from net investment income and
realized gains on investments which have not yet been distributed. As of
March 31, 1998, the weighted average annual yield on the Fund's portfolio
was 6.2% based on cost and 5.8% based on market value, and the weighted
average maturity was 10.2 years.
In October 1997 the Board declared quarterly dividends which total $1.21 per
share for the year ending September 30, 1998. Dividends of $.44 per share
have been declared for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Additional
dividend payment dates are May 1, August 3, and November 2, 1998.
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Keyco Bond Fund, Inc. was held
December 16, 1997. At the meeting, Gail A. Dishell, Mark E. Schlussel,
David K. Page, Thomas E. Purther and Ellen T. Horing were elected Directors,
and the selection of Coopers & Lybrand as independent auditors was ratified
and confirmed.
If you have any questions concerning the Fund or the attached information,
please feel free to call me.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
/S/ Joel D. Tauber
President

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Keyco Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") has registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end,
diversified management company. The Fund became qualified as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code on
October 1, 1979. Management intends to distribute to the
shareholders substantially all earnings from that date. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
a. Security Valuation: The Fund has invested substantially all
of its assets in long-term state and municipal debt
obligations. Investments in these tax-exempt securities are
stated at fair value. The fair value of the investments is
provided by the Fund's custodian, who utilizes a matrix
pricing system. Due principally to a decrease in interest
rates, the fair value of the investments is currently above
cost, resulting in unrealized appreciation. The principal
amount of each bond, as reflected in the schedule of
portfolio investments, is due at maturity when the bond must
be redeemed by the issuer.
b. Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund's intention to
comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
c. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade-
date basis. Cost of securities sold is determined by
specific identification. Distributions to shareholders are
recorded when declared. Interest on investments is recorded
as earned.
d. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
2. Net Assets Applicable to Outstanding Capital Shares:
Details of net assets applicable to outstanding capital
shares are as follows:
Capital stock, $.02 par value; authorized 3,000,000
shares; issued and outstanding 1,267,258
shares at March 31, 1998 $ 25,345
Additional paid-in capital 730,733
Retained earnings prior to July 1, 1979 24,093,500
Accumulated undistributed net investment income 505,579
Accumulated undistributed net realized gain from
securities transactions 142,592
Net unrealized appreciation of investments,
March 31, 1998 1,899,621
---------
Net assets, March 31, 1998 $27,397,370
===========
3. Purchases and Dispositions of Securities:
The cost of purchases and the proceeds from dispositions of
securities, other than United States government obligations and
short-term notes, aggregated $3,388,230 and $3,168,738,
respectively.
4. Portfolio Manager:
The Fund does not retain the services of an investment advisor or a
third-party portfolio manager. The Fund, acting through its
officers and with the review provided by the Board, makes investment
decisions internally.
5. Related Parties:
Legal and accounting expenses incurred include $12,500 for
accounting and administrative services provided by an entity owned
by an officer of the Fund.
