SM&R EQUITY FUNDS

NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The SM&R Equity Funds (the "Funds") are diversified open-end management
investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Funds are comprised of the SM&R Growth Fund, Inc., SM&R Equity
Income Fund, Inc. and SM&R Balanced Fund, Inc.

The Funds have adopted a Multiple Class Plan under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Each had a single class of shares, and began offering five new
classes as of January 1, 1999. The existing shares are the Class T shares, and
the newly offered classes are: the Class A shares subject to an initial sales
charge of up to 5.00% and a distribution and shareholder servicing plan ("12b-1
Plan"); the Class B shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and a
12b-1 Plan; the Class C shares subject to an initial sales charge of 1.00%, a
contingent deferred sales charge, and a 12b-1 Plan; the Class J shares (Network
class) subject to a 12b-1 Plan, only; and the Class Y shares (Institutional
class) subject to no charges. The Class J and Y shares have not commenced
operations.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of financial statements. 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 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.

SECURITY VALUATION:
Investments in securities listed on national exchanges are valued at the last
sales price of the day, or if there were no sales, then at the last bid price.
Debt obligations that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies, authorities, and instrumentalities are valued on the basis of prices
provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing
service represent valuations at bid prices or on a basis determined without
exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may reflect appropriate factors such as
institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield quality, coupon
rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other
market data. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available
are valued as determined by the Board of Directors. Commercial paper is stated
at amortized cost, which is equivalent to value.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date order to buy
or sell is executed). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and
interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses
from security transactions are reported on the basis of identified cost for
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity. The
Funds intend to comply with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code relating
to regulated investment companies and intend to distribute substantially all of
its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal
income taxes is recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Fund shares are sold in a continuous public offering at net asset value plus a
sales charge. The Funds repurchase shares at net asset value. Dividends and
other distributions are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date and may be
reinvested at net asset value.

EXPENSES:
Distribution, qualification fees or other fees directly attributable to the
funds' class of shares are charged to that funds class operations. All other
operating expenses not directly attributable to a Funds' operations are prorated
among the Funds based on the relative amount of each Funds' net assets or
shareholders, and then allocated among the classes of that fund.

NOTE 2--OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE FEES:

principal underwriter for the Funds. Investment advisory and service fees paid

</TABLE>

The investment advisory agreement for the Growth Fund provides for incentive
fees that will increase or decrease the basic investment advisory fee, based on
the performance of the fund in relation to a specified industry index for the
funds with similar objectives over a rolling 36-month period. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999, the investment advisory fee was decreased by approximately
$202,743.

SM&R has agreed to reimburse the Funds for regular operating expenses, other
than taxes, interest, and expenses directly related to the purchase and sale of
investment securities, in excess of 1.25% per annum of the average daily net
assets. Regular operating expenses include the advisory fee and administrative
service fee, but does not include the distribution and shareholder servicing
fee.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES:
The Funds have adopted a 12b-1 Plan, with respect to the Funds' Class A shares,
Class B shares and Class C shares (the "Class A Plan, the "Class B Plan" and the
"Class C Plan", respectively and collectively, the "Plans"). The Plans permit
each class a distribution fee to compensate SM&R, or enable SM&R to compensate
other persons, including Distributors, for distribution costs such as service
fees paid to dealers, printing and distribution of prospectuses to prospective
investors, sales literature and other sales and distribution related activities.
The Funds pay compensation for Class A shares at 0.25% per annum of the average
daily net assets, for Class B shares at 0.50% per annum of the average daily net
assets and for Class C shares at 0.75% per annum of the average daily net
assets.

The Class B and Class C Plans also permit a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%
per annum of the average daily net assets to compensate SM&R, or enable SM&R to
compensate Service Providers, for providing ongoing servicing to shareholders of
the Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, no payments were made as
compensation under the Plans.
