State Bond Cash Management Fund



TO THE SHAREHOLDERS:

On July 31, 1995, State Bond Cash Management Fund (the "Fund") completed
thirteen years of operations. We wish to welcome the new shareholders that
joined us during the year, and thank all of our shareholders for their
investment in the Fund. 

The Fund continues its investment objective of generating current income
with preservation of principal and liquidity. As of July 31, 1995,
approximately 60% of the portfolio was invested in U.S. Treasury Bills. The
remainder of the portfolio is invested in high quality commercial paper. These
commercial paper issuers were evaluated and ranked in the top rating category
by two of the following nationally recognized rating services: Standard &
Poor's Corp., Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Investor Service, or Duff
and Phelps Credit Rating Company.

Since our last report of January 31, 1995, short-term interest rates
continue to be affected by the actions of the Federal Reserve (the "Fed"). In
February 1995, the Fed increased short-term rates for the seventh time in a
year, by 0.5%, as it continued its efforts to control inflation. The economy,
in reaction to these higher rates, began to give indications that it was
slowing. Home sales, retail sales, and other data suggested a rather anemic
economic environment. The Fed then reversed its trend of increasing rates with
a small decrease of .25% to short-term rates in early July. The net effect of
these actions was an increase in the Fund's seven-day annualized yield from
4.55% on January 31, 1995, to 4.93% on July 31, 1995.

We appreciate your investment in the Fund and look forward to helping you
meet your investment goals. Should you desire additional information, we would
welcome your inquiries.

Sincerely,


/s/ Keith O. Martens
Keith O. Martens
Vice President

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ORGANIZATION
 
The State Bond Cash Management Fund (the "Fund") is the only investment
portfolio of the State Bond Money Funds, Inc., which is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end
diversified management investment company. The primary investment objective of
the Fund is to maximize current income, preserve capital, and maintain
liquidity. The Fund invests exclusively in money market instruments maturing
in twelve months or less.
 
On June 14, 1995, ARM Financial Group, Inc. ("ARM") completed the acquisition
of substantially all of the assets and business operations of SBM Company
("SBM"). As part of the acquisition, ARM Capital Advisors, Inc. ("ARM Capital
Advisors"), a subsidiary of ARM, assumed the responsibilities of SBM as
manager of the Fund. The Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between
the Fund and ARM Capital Advisors contains the same material terms and
conditions (including the fees payable to ARM Capital Advisors) as were
contained in the Fund's prior Investment Advisory and Management Agreement
with SBM.
 
As part of the acquisition, ARM acquired all of the issued and outstanding
common stock of SBM Financial Services, Inc. ("SBM Financial Services"), the
Fund's distributor. Effective June 14, 1995, SBM Financial Services also
became the transfer agent for the Fund. Prior to the acquisition SBM
functioned as the transfer agent for the Fund.
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
 
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing portfolio securities in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Security transactions are accounted
for as of the trade date. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The Fund complied with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and distributed its taxable net investment
income. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.
 
The aggregate cost of investments in securities is the same for book and tax
purposes.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and distributed
monthly. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND PAYMENTS TO RELATED PARTIES
 
ARM Capital Advisors is the Fund's investment adviser. The investment advisory
fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of average daily net assets of the
Fund. Included in the investment advisory fee is .20% of the average daily net
assets which ARM Capital Advisors pays to SBM Financial Services under a Rule
12b-1 plan of share distribution. ARM Capital Advisors has voluntarily
undertaken to reimburse the Fund for any expenses in excess of .80% of the
average daily net assets for fiscal years ended 1995, 1994, and 1993 and .90%
and 1.00% for fiscal years ended 1992 and 1991, respectively, despite the fact
that higher expenses may be permitted by state law.
 
Certain officers and directors of the Fund are also officers of ARM, ARM
Capital Advisors, and SBM Financial Services.
 
3. CAPITAL SHARES
 
At July 31, 1995, the Fund had authority to issue twenty billion shares of
common stock, each with a par value of $.00001.

                        Report of Independent Auditors
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
 State Bond Cash Management Fund
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities including
the schedule of investments of the State Bond Cash Management Fund (the
"Fund") as of July 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations and
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The
statement of changes in net assets for the year ended July 31, 1994 and
financial highlights for the four years ended July 31, 1994 of the State Bond
Cash Management Fund were audited by other auditors whose report dated August
26, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion.
 
We conducted our audit 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
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned at July 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. As to
uncompleted securities transactions, we performed other auditing procedures.
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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
State Bond Cash Management Fund at July 31, 1995, and the results of its
operations, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
