MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

MONEY MARKET FUND
 
Money Market interest rates fell dramatically during the second quarter of
1995. As was the case last quarter, the release of softer, non-inflationary
numbers, coupled with the market's increased perception that the Fed was done
tightening provided the impetus for significantly lower rates.
 
  The expanding economy we became accustomed to during 1994 continued to show
signs of moderating in the second quarter. Consumer spending, rates of
production and employment levels all dropped. The market's fear of near-term
inflation had decreased. The feeling that the Fed would be on hold for awhile,
or possibly even ease, led to an anticipatory flattening of the Treasury Bill
Curve. After two consecutive meetings where the FOMC took no rate action, the
Fed did in fact ease 25 basis points at their most recent meeting on July 6th.
 
  The Fund continued to outperform both its peer group of six selected funds
and the Donoghue first-tier money market index on a net basis. The Penn Series
Funds reported a net yield of 5.54% for the second quarter, 7 basis points
above the yield of its peer group (5.47%), and 8 basis points above the first-
tier index (5.46). The Fund ended the quarter with an average maturity of 44
days, equal to that of its peer group.
 
  More recent economic releases suggest that the U.S. economy may reaccelerate.
Consumer confidence remains high, real disposable income continues to trend
upward and unemployment remains below 6.00%, a level widely accepted as the
rate of full employment. New Home sales jumped up 19.9% in May. Existing home
sales, which tends to lag new home sales, also rose 4.7%, due largely to
declining mortgage rates. In addition, the June employment number reflected the
biggest gain in four months.
 
  The above factors could lead to a second half pick-up, the degree of which
remains uncertain. Any significant rebound would cause money market rates to
back-up. With this in mind, we plan to manage the Fund in a neutral fashion,
with a day count similar to our peer group. We believe we can outperform our
competitors without significant interest rate bets.

QUALITY BOND FUND
 
The U.S. Bond market continued its furious rally in the second quarter.
Outpacing the first quarter, 2 year treasuries fell 100 basis points while 30
year treasury rates fell 80 basis points over the period. Weakness in the
economy became more widespread as an inventory overhang built in the first
quarter spurred companies to quickly pare production. Shortly after the quarter
ended, the Federal Reserve eased 25 b.p.'s, belatedly following market yields
lower.
 
  Spreads on callable corporates and mortgage-backed securities widened in the
second quarter as concern over duration shortening in a rally caused investors
to sell. Non-call corporates also widened slightly, partly in sympathy to their
callable counterparts but also to a surge in new issuance by corporations.
Quality spreads remain historically small, surprising given that the market
rallies on recognition of a weak economy. We maintain an above average
 
quality portfolio. In addition, we have added higher-grade callable corporates
to the portfolio to take advantage of the recent widening.
 
  Performance for the quarter was excellent both on an absolute basis but
slightly sub-par on a relative basis. In the second quarter, the Penn Series
Quality Bond Fund posted +5.91% vs. +6.14% for the Lipper A Fund average. Over
the last 12 months our performance was +13.56% vs. +11.77% for the Lipper A
Fund average. Since 11-01-92, the inception of our management of the Penn
Series Quality Bond Fund, we have outperformed the competition. The Quality
Bond Fund posted a cumulative +21.37% vs. +20.04% for the Lipper A Fund
Average.
 
  Our performance was hindered by the defensive position we had entering the
quarter. That position was quickly shifted to a neutral position in the
quarter. Our sector selection away from mortgage-backed and callable corporates
assisted performance.
 
  We enter the new quarter slightly defensive in duration and wary of a modest
back up in yields. Our concern lies in a belief that the second quarter
represented an inventory correction, one which could well be over soon given
the sharp drop in production. Any pick-up in consumption would cause us concern
given the minimal amount of slack left in the economy. At the very least rates
may bounce higher as a reaction simply due to the massive rally over the last
eight months.

HIGH YIELD FUND
 
The high yield market posted strong returns in the second quarter of 1995,
following up on impressive gains during the first three months of the year.
However, the positive results masked a growing level of uncertainty in the
noninvestment-grade bond sector. As typically happens when the economy slows,
investors began to favor more creditworthy borrowers. As a result, high-yield
bonds lagged their investment-grade counterparts, and yield spreads widened
between high-yield and high-quality bonds, particularly in many cyclical
industries.
 
  For the first six months of the year, the fund's returns were right in line
with the Lipper Average of our peer group. Second quarter returns were slightly
disappointing, as several sectors that had shown strong performance in the
first three months of the year suffered corrections. A number of cyclical
industries lagged in the second quarter, as well as several depressed issues
that have yet to recover from 1994 losses. Two gaming issues, Hemmeter and
Capital Gaming, lost ground when the companies announced cost overruns on a
joint venture riverboat project in New Orleans.
 
  We continued realigning the portfolio to reduce potential volatility in the
slower-growth environment we anticipate. During the past six months, we
increased the number of higher-quality securities in the fund and trimmed many
of our riskiest issues. This defensive approach was generally beneficial,
except in April when the lower-quality tier of the junk bond market led the
advance. We also favored higher-coupon instruments, believing that most of our
market's second-half returns will come from income, rather than capital
appreciation.

HIGH YIELD FUND (CONT'D)
 
  Fears of a recession are premature, in our opinion, and we have a favorable
outlook for high-yield bonds in the second half of 1995. Lower interest rates
should rekindle growth later in the year, and the current strength of corporate
profits should help maintain positive credit quality trends for most of our
companies.
 
  We feel the high-yield market is at a crossroads, with its direction
depending on the course of the economy over the next several months. A more
definitive tilt toward an easy policy by the Federal Reserve could be viewed
favorably as likely to stimulate growth, or less favorably if it is seen as
confirming concerns over a recession. The stock market will also be an
important influence, as high-yield bonds often take their cue from equity
performance.
 
  Over the past 10 years, the greatest cumulative gains have come from the
upper tier of the high-yield market. Therefore, we see no point now in dipping
down in credit quality to pursue short-term price appreciation. Rather, we will
stick to our focus on BB- and B-rated bonds, which have performed best over
time and should weather economic changes better than weaker credits.
 
  In summary, we expect to see economic growth rise gradually to its historical
trend of 2% to 2.5% by year-end. This should be a good environment for high-
yield bonds provided supply and demand conditions do not worsen.

GROWTH EQUITY FUND
 
The Penn Series Growth Equity Fund posted a disappointing return in the second
quarter. Although the portfolio achieved a total return of 5.18% for the three
months, this result lagged considerably the 9.39% total return of the average
Lipper Growth Fund. Fortunately, the underperformance did not extend through
the entire period. In June, the Growth Equity Fund gained 4.07%, exceeding both
the S&P and the Lipper Growth average returns of 2.80% and 3.76%, respectively.
 
  As is usually the case when the fund significantly lags the competition,
blame for the poor relative performance in April and May rested largely on the
severe price downdrafts experienced by several specific securities. Many of the
issues that declined by several percent or more in the first two months of the
quarter fell on company specific developments and/or concerns within the
investment community that the firms' longer term fundamentals were dimming. The
reality of the marketplace today is that share prices adjust almost immediately
(and sometimes overadjust) to negative corporate announcements. Sometimes, only
rumors of disappoint are necessary to send a share tumbling. Issues that
reacted in April and May to this reassessment process included Albertson,
Cintas, Danka, Paychex Systems, and Michael Stores. Of the names included in
this group, only Michael Stores announced that earnings would fall
significantly short of Wall Street expectations, necessitating that projections
of earnings would have to be revised downward. The other shares fell on more
ambiguous concerns related to raw materials cost pressures, competitive
threats, and other issues where the tie-ins to earnings (a good proxy for
fundamentals) were less clear.
 
  In terms of sectors, the poorest performing stocks tended to be concentrated
in the various health care groupings. These stocks fell on
 
concerns that the marketplace, if not the Clinton administration, would impose
disciplines related to pricing on health care services and products. This poor
potential pricing environment would sharply curtail earnings growth of the
related entities. It is too early to reach conclusions as to the validity of
these concerns. Nonetheless, to reduce the portfolio's exposure to this risk,
the health care sector's weighting in the fund was reduced from over 24% at the
beginning of April to 17% by the end of the quarter.
 
  High tech issues were the biggest contributors to the fund in the latest
period. Many firms in this sector, in particular semiconductor and
semiconductor equipment concerns, have posted very strong revenue and earnings
gains for more than two years. This growth is being fueled by the 30% to 40%
volume gains in shipments of such high tech products as personal computers and
telecommunications equipment and handsets. Investors have shown a very strong,
and continuing, appetite for equities with exposures to these markets despite
valuations that exceed parameters established in prior economic cycles.
 
  Altogether, a total of $38.4 million in stocks were sold in the second
quarter. Besides the health care sector, most of the sales were concentrated in
high tech issues. We feel that a lower exposure to computer and related issues
is prudent given the extended price/earnings valuations accorded many high tech
shares. Offsetting the sales were purchases totaling $43.4 million. The new
additions were dispersed over a wide range of industries. In sum, the effect of
transactions in the quarter was to more broadly diversify the fund's holdings.

VALUE EQUITY FUND
 
The portfolio performed well even though we did not own many technology stocks.
By following our fundamental disciplines, we produced strong returns with
below-average risk through good stock selections, generating a total return of
10.2% vs. 9.5%.
 
  Our returns were driven in part by our substantial holdings of financial
service companies, such as American International Group, Citicorp, Freddie Mac
and Exel. As a group, the financial stocks in the portfolio returned a
spectacular 29% in the half. The investments we made in these companies during
the past few years were not an interest rate play. Rather, they were based on
the exceptional opportunities we saw in terms of growth and high returns on
capital, combined with reasonable market valuations. Quite simply, we thought
many quality financial stocks were cheap. The market now appears to have agreed
with that assessment. Despite their considerable price advance in the first
half of 1995, we believe many of these stocks are still undervalued.
 
  Based on such traditional valuation measures as average dividend yield and
price-to-book, the market is selling at its highest level ever. The dividend
yield on the S&P 500 has never been as low as it is today, in part because
dividend increases have badly lagged earnings, as some portion of cash flow is
being used to repurchase shares rather than pay dividends.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

VALUE EQUITY FUND (CONT'D)
 
  However, on other traditional measures, including price/earnings ratios, the
market looks more modestly priced. As a result of strong profit advances, the
P/E on trailing 12-month earnings estimated through June for the S&P 500 was
about 16X, not a high valuation. If corporate profitability can be sustained,
these numbers would not appear to suggest an overvalued market. This may be a
big if since corporate profitability is at all-time highs.
 
  The stock market through June 30th has now risen for 1,722 days without a
correction of 10% or more, the longest such advance in three and a half
decades. Throughout this period, there has been a confluence of positive
factors and an almost total absence of negatives. It's been a truly wonderful
time to own stocks.
 
  Inevitably, market conditions will change. The market appears to have
tremendous upward momentum coming out of the first half, but is also vulnerable
to shocks, whatever they may be. In this environment, we will continue to do
what we do best: purchase companies with superior business characteristics at
reasonable prices, and thereby seek to preserve capital and outperform the
popular indices regardless of the broad market direction.
 
QUEST FOR VALUE ADVISORS INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
FLEXIBLY MANAGED FUND
 
We made good progress on the investment performance road during the first six
months of 1995. Our individual security selection and risk avoidance strategy
remained rewarding although our cautious asset allocation and the market's love
affair with technology meant that some other funds had better results. Your
fund's primary objective, to make money and minimize losses during the market's
inevitable weak periods, continues to be met.
 
  The stock market surged to record levels during the second quarter, and the
bond market, which had suffered through a dismal 1994, rebounded strongly. As
is often the case, this performance was inspired less by actual events than by
a change in investor perceptions about the future. Six months ago, the Federal
Reserve was expected to continue its steady monetary tightening, whereas during
the past quarter, a mild stimulus was anticipated. The Fed's July reduction in
short-term interest rates has diminished the likelihood of a severe recession,
and it now seems probably that if a recession is avoided over the next six
months, it may not occur at all before the 1996 election.
 
  The stock market was dominated by red-hot technology stocks. The
semiconductor group, for example, followed a strong first quarter with a mind-
numbing 46% gain in the second. Investors were rightly attracted to such
results and poured money into mutual funds specializing in the technology
sector. This cash flow further boosted performance. Unfortunately, all this
excitement pretty much passed us by. We like to buy out-of-favor securities
with good potential and, we hope, much less risk.
 
  The fund's positive results continued to be helped by the absence of
significant "losers." On the other hand, we had some significant winners.
Student Loan Marketing (Sallie Mae), for example,
 
generated gains that offset the total of all losing positions for the first six
months. We purchased this stock as well as Loews and Philip Morris when many
investors were focusing on their problems. As concerns subsided, their share
prices rebounded. Other top contributors, Manville, Weyerhaeuser, and PHH,
continued to enhance fund performance as the companies prospered.
 
  The biggest disappointment this year was the sale with only a modest profit
of Rockefeller Center Property bonds. This had been one of the fund's largest
positions and appeared to have good appreciation potential with limited risk.
Unfortunately, the march of events was worse than we anticipated. Pressure on
New York City real estate and unexpected actions by affiliated parties finally
caused us to preempt a possible loss. May all our disappointments end as
benignly!
 
  We continue to believe that caution toward the broad stock market is sensible
given today's investment environment. We see one positive factor -- continued
economic growth and the accompanying increase in corporate earnings; one
neutral factor -- interest rates, which are unlikely to fall much further; and
one negative factor -- stock valuation levels, particularly dividend yields,
which are disturbingly low. We try not to over-analyze these "macro" factors,
since all are dynamic and often cancel each other out. Nevertheless, in our
current reading of these signals, the caution light predominates over the green
or red.
 
  The most compelling lesson we draw from financial history is the superior
long-term returns generated by stocks versus money market securities and bonds.
But the stock market can suffer periodic debilitating losses, and investors are
wont to bail out during such times. Since major stock gains also tend to occur
in concentrated time periods, exiting the market increases the chance of not
being exposed to significant upward moves. By managing your fund to try to
cushion the effects of these inevitable downturns, we hope you will feel more
comfortable about remaining committed to the market and your long-term
financial goals.
 
  In hindsight, we would probably have done better with a more aggressive
investment posture these past six months, but the next six months may be an
entirely different story. Our approach, which blends caution regarding the big
picture with a ceaseless search for attractively priced individual securities,
has served well in the past, and we will stick with it.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
 
At June 30, the Fund's net assets totaled $60,542,965. For the second quarter
the Fund gained a total return of 3.78% vs. the EAFE at 0.73%. Year to date the
Fund produced a positive return of 1.38% vs. the Financial Times World ex-US at
0.6% and the EAFE Index at 2.60%. During the quarter, we increased our
weighting in the UK and Switzerland by about 2% each. In the Pacific Basin, we
increased our weightings in Singapore and Hong Kong, and sold completely out of
Korea and Indonesia. In Latin America, we halved our exposure from 1.4% to
0.7%.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND (CONT'D)
 
  In Europe, industrial production, durable goods orders and residential
construction all slowed in the first half as the effects of last year's tight
monetary policy are still constraining regional GDP growth. With the "bond
vigilantes" limiting government action on fiscal stimulus, monetary policy
remains the main tool of macroeconomic management. Accordingly, European real
interest rates have been falling. Earnings momentum has improved dramatically
for European companies in the financial, pharmaceutical and consumer durable
areas, while shares of cyclical companies have begun to reflect above-trend
earnings growth expectations. We remain underweight in the energy, consumer
services, industrial and basic material sectors.
 
  In Japan, the long-awaited upturn in the business cycle has failed to
materialize. With the economy choking on the effects of the strong yen,
prospects of a sustainable earnings recovery have dimmed. After Taiwan, Japan's
was the worst-performing market in the first half, posting a 23% fall in yen
terms. Investors continue to be spooked by 1) the deflationary effect of the
strong yen; 2) the scope of non-performing loans in the banking sector; 3) the
inability of insurance companies to meet their obligations due to insufficient
returns on their securities portfolios, and 4) the lack of policy leadership by
the current administration. We believe the Japanese economy can, in time, be
reflated through a combination of fiscal measures aimed at reviving private
consumption and a Bank of Japan recovery of the troubled banking sector. Its
high level of financial resources permits it to do so. The need for the
government to act is obvious; it has the wherewithal at its disposal. What is
lacking is political will and failure to acknowledge the mistakes of the past.
 
  In Korea monetary conditions will remain tight due to a massive boom by the
Chaebol (conglomerates). Their expansion in the auto, steel and petrochemical
industries will result in structural overcapacities and will keep margins low.
Second, Korea's widening trade deficit reflects its dependency on imports of
components from Japan and the effects of the strong Yen. Korea is still
primarily an assembler of finished goods and lacks the strong manufacturing
capabilities that lead to innovation and absorption of technology. The Taiwan
market was disappointing during the first half, due to weakness in the banking
sector and perceived political uncertainty.
 
  In Latin America, Mexico's foreign capital outflows and the domestic savings
shortfall have shrunken growth prospects and made valuations difficult. We took
advantage of a market recovery to substantially reduce positions.
 
  With the U.S. dollar showing signs of forming a bottom, the portfolio's
exposure to the European currencies is fully hedged. We are awaiting signals
from our models to also hedge against a weakening Japanese Yen.
 
  On average, stronger than expected earnings are being reported by European,
Far Eastern and Japanese companies. As falling government bond yields around
the globe increase the attractiveness of stock investments, we are optimistic
that equity returns will improve during the second half of 1995.

SMALL CAPITALIZATION ACCUMULATION TRUST
 
The small capitalization company sector, as measured by the Russell 2000,
appreciated 9.4% for the second quarter of 1995 and 14.4% for the first half,
with technology and financial services contributing nearly half of the index's
second quarter increase. Small cap companies tracked larger companies' stock
performance during the quarter but continue to lag for the half. Our funds'
performance lagged the Russell 2000 in the second quarter and year-to-date as a
result of our underweighting in technology stocks, and our overweighting in
high quality Real Estate Investment Trusts (the worst-performing sector in the
second quarter). We are obviously dissatisfied with this, but we remain
committed to rigorously pursuing our value-oriented stock selection
methodology, of investing in superior companies in good industries with strong
management, which we believe produces the best long-term returns. This is
sometimes difficult in any one quarter or period when one sector so completely
dominates the performance of the market, but we are confident this approach
serves our investors the best long-term result.
 
  It is worth emphasizing how our value-oriented investment discipline has led
to this underweighting in technology and why in the long-run we believe our
strategy is the correct one. Our underweighting in technology is a result of
our company-specific bottoms-up stock selection and our conservative approach
to preservation of capital -- and is not a sector allocation decision. As you
know, we emphasize investment into companies with ongoing, sustainable
franchises with high competitive barriers. Over extended periods of time, such
companies can achieve returns in excess of their cost of capital and grow
shareholder value by protecting their businesses against competitors. In the
technology sector, this describes very few companies, perhaps an Intel or a
Microsoft. Most small technology companies rely on only a few products, which
have increasingly and dangerously shorter life-cycles in the current whirlwind
pace of innovation and obsolescence. Meanwhile, these small companies also have
little protection against competitors who can leapfrog them quickly with a
better product or increased capacity, while our resource-constrained company
focuses on commercial development! Also, many small tech companies only have a
short history of company performance, not sustainable proven franchises. A few
companies will be successful but many will simply disappear. This is unlikely
to happen to most of the companies in our portfolio. The burst of excitement
over Technology has lifted the prices of most technology stocks and the Russell
2000 index, the same way that "a rising tide lifts all boats", seemingly no
matter the quality of the product or company! We believe this is a shorter-term
phenomenon, while our longer-term emphasis drives us to invest only in
companies that seem likely to produce superior returns over many years.

PENN SERIES FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - JUNE 30, 1995 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Penn Series Funds, Inc. (Penn Series) was incorporated in Maryland on April
22, 1982. Penn Series is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company.
 
  Penn Series is presently offering shares in its Money Market, Quality Bond,
High Yield Bond, Growth Equity, Value Equity, Flexibly Managed, International
Equity and Small Capitalization Funds (the Funds). It is authorized under its
Articles of Incorporation to issue a separate class of shares in each of two
additional funds. Each Fund would have its own investment objective and policy.
 
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
Penn Series in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
  INVESTMENT VALUATION:
  MONEY MARKET FUND - Investments in securities are valued under the amortized
cost method, which approximates current market value. Under this method,
securities are valued at cost on the date of purchase and thereafter a
proportionate amortization of any discount or premium until maturity is
assumed. Penn Series has agreed to maintain a dollar weighted average portfolio
maturity appropriate to the objective of maintaining a stable net asset value
per share. The Penn Series Board of Directors (The Board) has established
procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the net asset value per share for
purposes of sales and redemptions at $1.00. The Board performs regular review
and monitoring of the valuation in an attempt to avoid dilution or unfair
results to shareholders.
 
  QUALITY BOND, HIGH YIELD BOND, GROWTH EQUITY, VALUE EQUITY, FLEXIBLY MANAGED,
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY AND SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUNDS - Portfolio securities
listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on
the securities exchange or securities market on which such securities primarily
are traded or, if there has been no sale on that day, at the mean between the
current closing bid and asked prices. All other securities for which over-the-
counter market quotations are readily available will be valued on the basis of
the mean between the last current bid and asked prices. When market quotations
are not readily available, or when restricted or other assets are being valued,
the securities or assets will be valued at fair value as determined by The
Board.
 
  The high yield securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest are
predominantly speculative as to the issuer's continuing ability to meet
principal and interest payments. The value of the lower quality securities in
which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest will be affected by the credit
worthiness of individual issuers, general economic and specific industry
conditions, and will fluctuate inversely with changes in interest rates. In
addition, the secondary trading market for lower quality bonds may be less
active and less liquid than the trading market for higher quality bonds.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The books and records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars on the following basis: market value of investment securities, assets
and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and purchase and sales of
investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
  The Funds report certain foreign currency related security transactions as
components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such
components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes. The
Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity
securities which are due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that
which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.
 
  Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the level of governmental
supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of
political or economic instability.
 
  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Security transactions are
accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date and interest income is accrued as earned. The cost of investment
securities sold is determined by using the specific identification method for
both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
 
  DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends of investment income and realized
capital gains from investment transactions of the Quality Bond, High Yield
Bond, Growth Equity, Value Equity, Flexibly Managed, International Equity and
Small Capitalization Funds will be declared and paid annually. Dividends of net
investment income and realized capital gains, if any, of the Money Market Fund
are declared daily and paid monthly. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
primarily due to differing treatments for mortgage--backed securities, market
discount and foreign currency transactions.
 
  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of each of the Funds to comply with
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including
realized gains, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for
federal income or excise taxes.

2 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
  The Funds may trade financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of investing activities and to assist in managing exposure to
market risks such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These
financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency
exchange contracts and futures contracts.
 
  The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the
investment the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and
do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The
measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only
when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
 
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN
TRADING
 
  FUTURES CONTRACTS - Each of the Funds, other than Money Market, may enter
into financial futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities,
currency or contracts based on financial indices on a future date. A Fund is
required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain
percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by
a Fund each day, dependent on daily fluctuations in the value of the
underlying security, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as
unrealized gains or losses by a Fund. A Fund's investment in financial futures
contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated future changes in
interest or exchange rates. Should interest or exchange rates move
unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial
futures contracts and may realize a loss. The Quality Bond Fund has entered
into futures contracts during the six months ended June 30, 1995. Open futures
contracts held by the Quality Bond Fund at June 30, 1995 were as follows:

   FUTURES CONTRACTS                                       CONTRACTS   VALUE

   September 1995 10 Year Treasury Notes..................     10    $1,100,938
</TABLE>
 
  WRITTEN OPTIONS - Each of the Funds, other than Money Market, may write
covered calls. Additionally, each of the Funds may buy put or call options for
which premiums are paid whether or not the option is exercised. Premiums
received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains.
Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are
offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the
realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium increases the
cost basis of the securities purchased by a Fund. As writer of an option, the
Fund may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold
(call) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the
price of the securities underlying the written option. The Flexibly Managed
Fund has entered into put options during the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Purchased put options open and outstanding at June 30, 1995 are disclosed in
the schedule of investments.
 
  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - The Funds will generally enter into
forward foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign
exchange rate risk. A Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S.
dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period
between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is
delivered and paid for. A Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S.
dollar value of securities it already owns denominated in foreign currencies.
 
  Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate, and are
marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded by the Fund as
an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the
contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
 
  The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities, but
it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.
Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential
gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition,
the Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are
unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Flexibly Managed and
International Equity funds have entered into forward foreign currency
contracts for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
 
  At June 30, 1995 there were no open contracts in the Flexibly Managed Fund.
Open forward foreign currency contracts held by the International Equity Fund
at June 30, 1995 were as follows:
