To Our Shareholders:

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

  Reflecting   the  strong  overall  investment  environment,  the  Income  Fund
continued to  achieve favorable  investment results  during the  third  quarter.
Based  on a net asset value of $63.39  per share on September 30, 1995, the Fund
showed a total investment  return of 5.4% for  the quarter after adjustment  for
the  reinvestment of cash dividends. This compared to comparable returns of 7.9%
for the Standard &  Poor's 500, 5.8%  for the Dow  Jones Industrial Average  and
1.9% for the Lehman Brothers Gov't/Corp. Bond Index. The year-to-date nine month
return  for the Fund was 24.0% compared to  similar returns of 29.8% for the S&P
500, 27.4%  for the  DJIA and  13.9% for  the Lehman  Brothers Gov't/Corp.  Bond
Index.  Based on CDA/ Wiesenberger figures, the average return for a universe of
237 balanced mutual funds over the first nine months of 1995 was 19.8%.

  During the third  quarter, the  economy experienced  a strong  rebound from  a
relatively  weak  second  quarter.  Real  Gross  Domestic  Product  grew  at  an
unexpectedly high 4.2% (preliminary basis) compared  to only 1.3% in the  second
quarter  with consumer spending, business investment, residential investment and
government spending all contributing to the gain. While inventories rose  during
the  quarter after declining  during the previous quarter,  the rate of increase
should not be considered too significant in view of a strong gain in final sales
pretty much in line with overall GDP growth. Inflation remained subdued and even
showed some improvement rising at a  surprisingly low 1.8% annual rate  compared
to a 3.2% rate in the second quarter. Net income for most corporations continued
to  show good year to year comparisons  although the rate of increase diminished
from the first half. In this regard,  a recent BUSINESS WEEK survey of some  900
corporations   showed  corporate  earnings  rising  11%  in  the  quarter  after
charge-offs.

  The continuing above average growth in corporate earnings accompanied by a low
rate of inflation  has created  a most  favorable environment  for investing  in
financial assets. In this regard, the flow of funds into stocks via mutual funds
has  been especially  significant. Foreign  investors are  also thought  to have
returned to  the  U.S. market  with  the dollar  having  shown recent  signs  of
strength.  During  the third  quarter,  such market  sectors  as communications,
financial, health care and technology (electronics and semiconductors) performed
the best while consumer cyclicals (autos and housing) and energy did the  worst.
Among  individual  issues held  in the  Fund,  Graco (+27.0%),  American Express
(+25.9%) and Merrill Lynch (+19.0%) did the best while Corning (-12.6%),  Cooper
Industries (-10.8%) and AMP (-8.9%) performed the worst.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

  Economic growth is expected to continue over the coming year although the rate
of  expansion  should  moderate  to  the  2-2  1/2%  range  from  the  4.2% rate
(preliminary basis) shown in the third  quarter of 1995. While inflation  should
remain  under good control, the rate  seems more likely to be  in the area of 3%
instead of  2% or  less as  some  of the  more optimistic  forecasters  suggest.
Corporate  profits are projected  to continue growing  in 1996 in  response to a
further improvement in profitability,  however, the rate of  growth may slip  to
mid to high "single digit" levels compared to 12% or more estimated for 1995.

  Even  though  interest  rates may  continue  to  ease somewhat  more  over the
immediate future  as investors  continue to  worry about  the direction  of  the
economy  and  further  discount  the  possibility  of  another  monetary  policy
adjustment by the Federal Reserve, the outlook for additional growth in 1996 and
an inflation rate in the area of  3% should keep rates from declining much  from
current  levels. Hence, the bond  market would appear to  be pretty fully valued
except on a  very short-term basis  where current momentum  may move the  market
higher.  The  stock  market,  on  the  other  hand,  seems  to  offer  a greater
possibility of further progress if corporate  earnings continue to grow at  near
historical rates. While equity valuation levels might appear rather full at near
16x  estimated 1996  earnings (based on  the S&P  500), it should  be noted that
historically this is more of an average level when compared to other periods  of
relatively  low inflation. Other factors  suggesting higher stock prices include
ample liquidity in the hands of both individual investors and corporations  with
stock  buyback programs and signs of increasing  interest on the part of foreign
investors in the U.S. market.

                                                                William B. Frels
