We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of

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

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 as of 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 Foundation Growth Stock 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
Foundation Growth Stock Fund (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). Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required.
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 securities.
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, trust and
corporations which reside within the United States.

The investment advisory contract with Fund Management & Research

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 officers.
(4) TAX STATUS

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
