MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF THE FUND PERFORMANCE
- -----------------------------------------------

QUALITY BOND FUND

The continued interest rate increases in the second quarter contributed to a
general poor tone in bond performance for the period. In fact, the first six
months of 1999 return for the bond market is the worst since 1994. However on a
relative performance basis the Quality Bond Fund continued to shine. Performance
for the first six months was (0.87%) outperforming the average return by more
than 1 full percentage point. For the twelve month period, we rank #1 out of 157
funds, outperforming the average fund by 3.39%. Over the longer 5 year period
our ranking is #7 out of 88 funds. In addition, performance is strong relative
to the comparative Index (Salomon Bros. Broad Investment Grade Index),
outperforming in the first six months by 1.61%.

The Quality Bond fund outperformance vs. the Index for the first six months is
explained by both individual bond selection and successful interim duration
calls in the 2nd quarter. Additional relative performance vs. our competitors is
better explained by the fact that most bond funds were overly optimistic on the
potential for spread tightening in corporate and mortgage backed bonds (and thus
lost money when spreads widened). In addition, we suspect most were too long in
duration and thus lost more in market value when interest rates rose.

At the start of the third quarter the Quality bond fund is positioned long in
duration and about neutral in spread product. Near term we expect a "relief
rally" early in the third quarter as a result of the Federal Reserve's hints
that there would not be an aggressive tightening stance in conjunction with an
expected moderation in economic data and continued subdued inflation data. 30
year treasury rates could fall to 5.75% in this environment. In addition, long
term bond yields offer compelling value relative to inflation, foreign bond
yields and on an asset allocation basis, relative to common stocks.

However, we do not expect a sustainable rally to develop until the economy
demonstrates a significant slowdown. Any significant economic slowdown will have
to be precipitated by either an aggressive tightening mode by the Federal
Reserve, a sharp, sustained correction in the stock market or more likely, a
combination of the two. After the upcoming relief rally we expect a renewed test
of the recent bond price lows led by renewed concerns of Federal Reserve
tightening pressure. This renewed test of the lows will probably commence
sometime later in the third quarter or early in the fourth. We expect to put on
defensive positions prior to this event.

HIGH YIELD BOND FUND

The economy's continuing strength favored high-yield bonds during the six months
ended June 30, although they did not escape the negative effects of a general
rise in interest rates. High-quality bonds such as Treasuries fell sharply in
price, but declines were more muted for high-yield bonds, which typically are
more sensitive to the economic cycle than to interest rates.

As the new year got under way, high-yield bonds recovered much of the ground
lost during the second half of 1998, when a late-summer global financial crisis
sent investors all over the world fleeing higher-risk investments including
low-quality bonds. After the U.S. Federal Reserve cut key short-term rates three
times during the early fall and also engineered the rescue of a huge, highly
leveraged hedge fund, liquidity was sufficiently restored to revive investor
confidence. As it became apparent toward year-end that the U.S. economy was not
only withstanding global economic weakness but was growing strongly, demand for
high-yield bonds rebounded. Bonds in the telecommunications and media sectors
were particularly strong in the first quarter of this year, taking their cues
from surging stocks in those areas.

As spring wore on, however, the market's tone deteriorated. The economy's
amazing momentum, combined with rising commodity prices and very tight labor
markets, raised fears of an uptick in inflation and possible action by the Fed
to forestall it. Indeed, in May the Chairman of the Fed confirmed a "bias"
toward tightening. The markets generally expected a quarter-point increase in
the federal funds target rate at the end of June, but the possibility of a
larger increase - and even of a string of increases - cast a pall over fixed
income markets. Bond markets sold off in May and June; high-yield bonds held up
comparatively well, with their high income generally offsetting modest price
declines to provide flat or marginally positive returns.

The portfolio posted a respectable six-month return that was in line with or
somewhat better than major high-yield market benchmarks. Since the fund's
exposure to lower-rated bonds in the high-yield universe was (and is) moderate,
indices weighted toward such bonds - which were the best performers recently-
would provide difficult comparisons.

The portfolio benefited from our decision last September to increase exposure to
the telecommunications sector. This shift positioned the fund well for the
subsequent surge in that area, especially in April. Several portfolio companies
also announced mergers, which were profitable for the fund. In the early months
of 1999, we added further to our


<PAGE>


PENN SERIES FUNDS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF THE FUND PERFORMANCE
- -----------------------------------------------

HIGH YIELD BOND FUND

telecommunications holdings, bringing total exposure to about one-fifth of net
assets at the end of June. Around this time, we took advantage of the economy's
strength to purchase some bonds of cyclical companies. These bonds also
performed well, paralleling the greatly improved showing of cyclical stocks. The
quality of new issues coming to market declined steadily in recent months and we
were extremely selective in purchases of these securities. We were fortunate to
avoid credit problems in individual securities, which also contributed favorably
to relative performance.

Our outlook is generally cautious. If the economy continues to expand, the bull
market in stocks remains generally intact, and the telecommunications sector -
by far the largest source of high-yield bonds today - continues to consolidate
and prosper, we should see solid returns on high-yield bonds. On the other hand,
we cannot help but note the gradual rise in bond defaults (although none among
portfolio holdings), the relatively large calendar of offerings coming to market
relative to the flow of cash into the market, and the increasingly choppy
performance of stocks. Declining liquidity is also a concern because it may
foreshadow higher volatility. The Fed's return to a "neutral" bias, suggesting
at least a hiatus in further tightenings, should be constructive for the
high-yield market, given its sensitivity to fears that Fed action might derail
the economy.

We will continue to maintain our focus on B rated bonds, which should enable the
portfolio to perform relatively well if the economy slows. Our emphasis on
telecommunications should continue to prove beneficial. After double-digit
returns in 1996 and 1997, the high-yield market seems headed for a second year
of more modest returns, in which income plays the dominant role.

GROWTH EQUITY FUND

Despite some recent rumblings and a few Y2K jitters, a healthy environment for
equity investing remains in place. Interest rates and inflation are expected to
remain in check, while a moderate pace to the economy's advance should help to
elongate the expansion. Corporate profits continue to grow and improve in
quality. Further boosting the case for equity investing is the combination of a
diminished supply of common shares, caused by continued merger and acquisition
activity and corporate share repurchase programs, coupled with the continued
rise of funds


<PAGE>


dedicated to common stock investing in various retirement funds. Additionally,
on a longer term basis, the enhanced competitiveness of U.S. corporations should
boost profitability and continue to attract both domestic and foreign
investment.

The Growth Equity Fund advanced 9.61% in the first half of 1999. This return
compares with the 12.31% return for the S&P 500, the 11.64% return of the Lipper
Growth Fund Average, and the 11.88% return of the Lipper Growth Index. Despite
this short-term under-performance, the twelve month returns for the Growth
Equity Fund were quite strong at 27.75%. The Fund's return outpaced those
generated by the S&P 500 (+22.76), the Lipper Growth Fund Average (+18.87%), and
the Lipper Growth Index (+21.69%). For the three year period ended June 30, 1999
the Penn Series Growth Equity Fund returned 29.37% on an annualized basis as
compared to the 29.11% annual gain for the S&P 500 and the 25.14% return for the
Lipper Growth Index.

The Growth Equity Fund continues to emphasize ownership of companies capable of
generating consistent and sustainable earnings growth. Growth in both earnings
and sales for companies held in the portfolio are well above those of the
general market. As a result of an analysis that focuses on the evaluation of
earnings trends for individual companies, we have been able to establish and
maintain a significant edge in identifying firms that can and do produce
positive earnings surprise and subsequently report growth at rates that betters
their historical trends. Growth continues to be found most consistently among
technology, consumer cyclical, health care and financial service companies.

Among the Fund's largest holdings as of June 30 were Microsoft, Texas
Instruments, Tyco International, Cisco Systems, MCI Worldcom, Citigroup, MBNA
and IBM. New additions to the portfolio thus far in 1999 year include Applied
Materials, Tyco International, IBM, Nokia, EMC Corp., Qwest Communications,
AT&T, and Best Buy Company.

OUTLOOK
Going forward we remain convinced that the U.S. and global economies will be
dominated by the ability of technology to unlock opportunities for new products
and services and increase productivity.

Coupled with a wide range of global events, the benefits of the investments made
in technology have been continued domestic economic growth and, most importantly
for the investment markets, little inflation. Economic growth remains on target
with real GDP likely expanding at a 3% to 4% annual rate and forecasts of
corporate profits continue to be raised as more and more companies' reports are
stronger than expected.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF THE FUND PERFORMANCE
- -----------------------------------------------

Our expectation is that the quarterly earnings reporting period beginning in
mid-July will build upon the first quarter's solid results. A benign inflation
environment and positive earnings momentum should position the stock market to
perform reasonably well as we enter the year's second half.

INDEPENDENCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

VALUE EQUITY FUND

Value stocks came back to life in the 2nd quarter. After an extended period in
which stock market gains were driven by a limited number of technology and large
cap growth issues, market leadership broadened in the quarter to include
undervalued stocks with strong business fundamentals of the type owned in our
portfolios.

Value stocks include those judged to be trading at market prices well below the
inherent value of the business, while growth stocks include those believed to
have excellent long-term earnings growth prospects. The total return on the S&P
500 Index was 7.0% in the 2nd quarter. Within the S&P 500, however, the value
stock component exceeded the returns of the growth stock component by a wide
margin. In fact, value outperformed growth across the breadth of the market --
large cap, mid cap and small cap.

Periods of outperformance by growth or value, or by large cap or small cap, are
normal. Like a pendulum, when the market reaches one extreme or the other,
absent some unusual factor, it typically swings back. However, the degree of
outperformance by a narrow group of large cap growth and technology issues in
1997 and 1998 was exceptional by any standard, with many of these stocks being
bid up to unusually high price-earnings ratios.

We believe there are substantial economic reasons why growth outperformed value
in 1997 and 1998. The trends that drove the strong relative performance of large
cap growth stocks included large declines in interest rates over many years, and
the global economic weakness and commodity deflation of the past two years.

In the 2nd quarter, these trends showed clear signs of abating or reversing.
Since late 1998, for instance, interest rates have turned upward, and more
recently Asia has begun to emerge from its economic downturn.

Despite their gains in the 2nd quarter, the types of value stocks in which we
invest continue to trade at a significant discount to large cap growth stocks
and the market in general. We believe this bodes well for our value style in the
months ahead.


<PAGE>

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK -- FED WATCH

As the third quarter begins, a central issue facing investors is whether the
U.S. economy is likely to overheat, causing interest rates to rise further.

The debate surrounding this issue has resulted from warnings by Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan in mid-June that the recent growth rate of the U.S.
economy is "unsustainable" and that the reservoir of available workers is drying
up. In late June, in a preemptive move to keep the economy in check, the Fed
raised its target short-term interest rate by one-quarter percentage point, the
first increase in more than two years.

The Fed's action is consistent with our expectation that the three one-quarter
point easings of 1998 are likely to require reversal during 1999. Our current
expectation is that the Fed will continue to retract the 1998 easings in order
to maintain economic balance. That behavior should be positive for our
investment style and central to the performance of the U.S. equity market as a
whole.

Our stock selection was quite strong during the second quarter as we identified
a number of attractive investment opportunities. A common theme among these
investment companies with short-term issues (causing their share prices to
decline to bargain levels) versus long-term promise (creating reward potential).
A company's short-term challenges create buying opportunities for us and allow
us to take advantage of a favorable valuation for a long-term investment.

We believe our long-term perspective and emphasis on buying superior undervalued
businesses provide a competitive advantage over time and will serve our clients
well as the market renews its focus on business fundamentals and inherent value.

FLEXIBLY MANAGED FUND

Stocks made further progress in the 2nd quarter, but bonds were weak. Stock
market participation broadened markedly, with large-cap cyclicals and small and
mid cap stocks supplanting large blue chip growth stocks as market leaders.
Technology


<PAGE>
PENN SERIES FUNDS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF THE FUND PERFORMANCE
- -----------------------------------------------


stocks extended their gains, although the frenetic rally in Internet stocks
paused in April. The U.S. economy's continued resilience encouraged investors to
look beyond the handful of large growth stock they had favored when global
growth prospects seemed more uncertain. Cyclical stocks reporting sizable
earnings increases did well, and income-oriented stock revived. Natural
resources stocks continued to be buoyed by commodity price increases.

On the fixed income side, interest rates rose in the face of strong economic
growth and the Federal Reserve's announcement in May that it was biased toward
tightening. Investors immediately assumed that the Fed would raise short-term
rates at its June 30 meeting (which it did), but uncertainty about the size of
the increase and possible future increases weighed heavily on the fixed income
market. Treasuries and other high-quality bonds posted negative returns for the
quarter, and lower-quality (high-yield) bonds eked out positive returns only
because their high income offset modest price declines.

With our substantial exposure to basic industry, natural resources, and energy
stocks, the portfolio benefited from the change in stock market sentiment
although our bond holdings were something of a drag on results. The portfolio's
8.85% year-to-date return was strong in absolute terms but lagged the broad
market as measured by the 12.38% S&P 500 Stock Index and the Lipper VA
Underlying Capital Appreciation Funds average of 13.75%.

Reflecting trends in the overall market several of our best contributors were in
the natural resources and energy areas. Our large holding in MacMillan Bloedel,
a Canadian forest products company, rose as improving lumber prices and
brightening prospects for global growth attracted investor interest. Positions
in Amerada Hess and other oil companies benefited from oil price increases.
Negative contributors included Tennessee Valley Authority bonds, which suffered
from rising interest rates. However, these bonds dell much less than Treasury
bonds of similar maturity because of their unique features. Financial stocks
were generally weak due to the rise in interest rates.

There was no significant change in our asset allocation. Equity exposure
increased a bit to about 54%, convertibles were approximately 26%, and bonds
about 15%. Major purchases included securities of Roche Holdings (convertibles),
Unionsource Energy, and Niagra Mohawk Holdings. Major sales included Atlantic
Richfield, which is involved in a merger, and Rouse convertible bonds which were
redeemed by the company.

<PAGE>


We remain cautious. The economy looks good, but market valuations
(price/earnings ratios, dividend yields) are expensive. We believe there is very
strong risk of higher interest rates in coming months, which historically have
hurt the financial markets before slowing the real economy.

Nevertheless, we continue to invest more than half of the fund in common stocks
because: 1) we hope our expertise enables us to benefit from specific company
situations or swings in investor enthusiasm and 2) the American economy is
strong and constantly creating new investment opportunities. We expect also to
continue holding significant nonequity assets to reduce the portfolio's overall
risk and enable investors to benefit from long-term advantages of common stocks,
but with less interim volatility.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

A favorable interest rate climate in most of Asia helped spur some economic
activity in markets which have been sluggish for the past several years. There
was an increase in Japanese economic expansion, beneficial for EPS growth.
Overall, increased liquidity helped to rerate the markets. Some companies seem
to be undertaking necessary restructurings: banks are beginning to deleverage
and many businesses are streamlining their operations to bring themselves more
in line with their Western counterparts in terms of profitability and
efficiency.

Foreign investor confidence in Japan was up over the quarter, with more
corporations willing to make large loans to Japanese businesses (Citibank made a
US $5 billion loan to Japanese Tobacco). Some sense of Japan regaining its lead
position in Asia was give when Prime Minister Keiso Obuchi deployed a
fact-finding mission to explore the dispensation of $30 billion in aid to
neighboring Asian economies. Real efforts to open the Japanese market to foreign
investors seem very promising.


Nonetheless, Japan's struggles continue. The Bank of Japan repeatedly sold Yen
for US Dollars during the quarter to prevent a rising Yen from stifling the
fragile economy. Massive losses continue to plague the banking sector, which
received major capital injections from the government. Unemployment remains
high, and market rumors still abound regarding Japan's Fiscal crisis and
continued recession. Many

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF THE FUND PERFORMANCE
- -----------------------------------------------

believe the recent Asian rebound is cosmetic, rather than stemming organically
from required fundamental reforms.

We added Smartone Communication (Hong Kong), a dominant franchise in the
telecommunications industry, with a high ROE of 38%, no debt and high free cash
flow. Additionally, the regulatory environment places high barriers to entry for
any new companies in the marketplace. A successful hedge of approximately 30%
against the Yen was removed in the first days of June, on the rising strength of
the Japanese economy.

The portfolio's investments paid off well this quarter. With Vontobel's Japanese
holdings turning in performance that was 2 1/2 times better than the market. The
returns were supported by rising profitability, high free cash flow, and double
digit ROE and EPS. Some of the recent Asian restructuring successes were not
represented in the portfolio, along with deep cyclicals, which did well during
the quarter. This was due to our investment process, which requires a consistent
history of good financial results to receive investment consideration. China,
Indonesia, and Korea were three of the best performing Asian markets during the
quarter. Because our investment philosophy dictates that we invest in countries
outside the index only when we are unable to find adequate investments in the
countries of the EAFE, the portfolio did not benefit from the upswing in these
markets. Nonetheless, our exposure in Hong Kong and Singapore made a positive
contribution to performance.

Low rates across Europe are starting to stimulate economic growth, consumer
spending, and increases in industrial production. EU issues that arose during
the quarter included Italy's forcing the Union to relax the deficit target of 2%
GDP, in addition to some unrealized talk of nations defecting from the Union.
Economic growth in the Union was sluggish, with high unemployment, particularly
in Germany. The U.S. rate hike caused some inflation jitters, but the ECB strove
to leave rates unchanged. The Euro was down 11.28% against the Dollar year to
date. On the plus side, the currency was given a boost as companies around the
world issued Euro-denominated bonds to take advantage of a competing arena for
capital.

We took profits on Zurich Allied (Switzerland) and Bank of Ireland. The Novartis
position (Switzerland) was closed during the quarter due to deteriorating
fundamentals. Purchases include Hunter Douglas in the Netherlands, Swisscom, and
Diageo, Next, and Tomkins in the U.K. Hunter Douglas provides venetian blinds,
with a strong presence in Europe and a 40% market share in the U.S. Swisscom is
a dominant player in the telecommunications industry. Diageo, also purchased at
a discount, owns food production and


<PAGE>


distribution franchises in the U.S., UK, and Germany. Their affiliates include
Guiness and Burger King. Next is an extremely successful middle-market fashion
retailer with a good track record, and high sales growth and operating margins.
Tomkins has a diversified presence in several businesses, including leisure
products and food production; it offers a substantial market presence in the
U.S. A partial hedge against the Euro, present throughout the quarter, remains
as of June 30, 1999.

Our European holdings, most of which are multinational businesses, benefited
from the declining Euro and the Asian recovery which made exports more
attractive to buyers outside Europe. Although our European holdings performed
relatively well, the portfolio was overweight in Europe at the expense of Asia,
which returned higher profits than core Europe during the quarter. In the face
of the declining Euro, our 40% hedge had a positive impact on performance.

SMALL CAPITALIZATION  FUND

The Fund performed well in the second quarter, a period in which small cap
stocks sprang back to life. After an extended period in which stock market gains
were driven by a limited number of technology and large cap growth issues,
market leadership appears to be broadening to small cap issues and undervalued
stocks with strong business fundamentals of the type owned by the Fund.

The Fund provided a total return of 15.9% in the quarter, exceeding the 15.6%
return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. For the first half, the Fund's
total return of 3.8% compared with 9.3% for the Russell 2000. We trailed the
index in the half because of the significant underperformance of small cap value
stocks in the first quarter.

We remain disciplined in our philosophy of buying undervalued small caps with
strong business fundamentals, including high cash flow and favorable earnings
prospects. We believe business fundamentals determine share price in the long
run and that well-chosen small caps will deliver excellent investment returns
over time. Despite the second quarter's resurgence of undervalued stocks of the
type owned by the Fund, small cap issues have lagged so badly for so long that
they remain significantly underpriced relative to large cap stocks based on
historic norms. To us, this suggests excellent

<PAGE>


PENN SERIES FUNDS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF THE FUND PERFORMANCE
- -----------------------------------------------


opportunities in small caps and a reduced risk profile in a normally volatile
asset class.

During the first half of 1999, we established new positions in an eclectic group
of undervalued companies, including BMC Industries (aperture masks and eyewear
lenses), Eastern Enterprises (natural gas distribution and barge
transportation), HA-LO Industries (marketing and promotional services), Keystone
Automotive Industries (automotive parts), National Computer Systems (information
services), Performance Food Group (food and food-related products for
restaurants and other institutions), Pillowtex (textile products), Ruddick Corp.
(supermarkets, and thread and yarn), Shopko Stores (a discount retailed
health-related service), SPS Technologies (fasteners for aerospace and
automotive markets), Spartech (plastics), Staff Leasing (payroll administration
and other employer services) and Tetra Tech (management consulting and technical
services).

BCM Industries, one of our new positions, has two main business units -
Precision Imaged Products (aperture masks for computer and television monitors)
and Optical Products (ophthalmic lenses). Profitability of the Precision Imaged
Products unit should benefit form improved pricing, while the Optical Products
unit should benefit from the ongoing integration of the Orcolite acquisition,
which increased BMC's share of the rapidly growing polycarbonate lens market
from 22% to 50%. We believe BMC's longer-term earnings power is $1.60 per share,
compared with a consensus estimate of $0.52 per share for 1999.

Sales included Artesyn Technologies, Basin Exploration, Borg Warner Automotive,
Guilford Mills, KCS Energy, Lydall, Magellan Health, Nuevo Energy, Terra Nova
Holdings, United Wisconsin Services, West point Stevens and Volt Information
Sciences.

EMERGING GROWTH FUND

The Penn Mutual Emerging Growth Portfolio outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth
Index in the second quarter, gaining 21.91% vs. 14.75% respectively. Year to
date, the Penn Mutual Emerging Growth Portfolio is up 53.33%, while the Russell
2000 Growth Index is up 12.82%. Performance came in the beginning and at the end
of the quarter driven by Internet, Technology and Media stock price movements.
We have increased the number of holdings markedly due to new cash inflows and a
large volume of new stock issues. Relative


<PAGE>



to large cap stocks, we believe that we are still at the early stages of a small
cap growth stock rally. We believe that the portfolio is positioned to benefit
from continued stock market demand for the fastest growing smaller companies.

Our top investments remain those with strong revenue growth generated from
emerging industry segments. Each name has the qualifications we like to see:
secularly attractive industry category, accelerating revenue growth rate and a
demonstrated proprietary advantage with attendant barriers to entry and to
competition. Particularly attractive is the satellite broadcasting industry,
which is benefiting from growing consumer demand for high-quality video
entertainment delivered over the television. Satellite programming includes
extensive offerings of pay per view and premium television channels, which are
not readily available on cable. Moreover, the industry is benefiting from
government deregulation of local broadcasting, and satellite channel capacity is
already 10 times that of cable television. Interestingly enough, satellite
players may extend this video-oriented lead as cable companies invest in
providing Internet access, rather than in increased channel capacity. As such,
cable companies have left their core business vulnerable to attack from a
premium product.

The Internet firewall market is yet another emerging subsegment of the Internet.
Its unit volume should grow linearly with the sheer explosion of web and email
sites on the Internet. Currently, firewalls are by far the most important
security product used on the Internet. As corporations launch transaction and
interactive sites, firewalls block access by unauthorized users of a
corporation's most precious IT (Information Technology) assets. Firewalls
protect IT assets from points of connection to the Internet, and as the number
of these connections per organization rises, firewall demand reacts similarly.

We continue our strategy of searching for new investments that illustrate the
attractive characteristics of an emerging growth company. The common themes are
fast revenue growth, a recently emerged industry segment, proprietary advantage
that allows the firm to gain market share, and open-ended revenue potential
which will sustain 20% growth for at least 3-5 years. It is a strategy we adhere
to which has caused our small company portfolio to significantly outdistance the
stock market averages, despite the relative lackluster performance of small cap
stocks.

We want to thank you for your continuing support, and we look forward to what we
hope will be a prosperous second half of 1999 together.

PENN SERIES FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - JUNE 30, 1999
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, Small Capitalization and Emerging Growth Funds (the Funds). It is
authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to issue a separate class of
shares in one additional fund. The 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. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

    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 maintains 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, SMALL CAPITALIZATION AND EMERGING GROWTH 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, purchases and sales of
investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

    The Funds do not isolate the portion of realized and unrealized gains and
losses on investments which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from
that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Such
fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments.

    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.


<PAGE>

    DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends of investment income and realized
capital gains of the Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Growth Equity, Value Equity,
Flexibly Managed, International Equity, Small Capitalization and Emerging Growth
Funds will be declared and paid annually. Dividends of net investment income 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: The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated
investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue code and to
distribute all of their taxable income, including realized gains, to their
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

    Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized
gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may
differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains recorded in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these
differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital
accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do
not require such reclassification. Distributions from net realized gains for
book purposes may involve short-term capital gains, which are included as
ordinary income for tax purposes.

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 transaction 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 month period ended June 30, 1999. There were no open futures contracts
at June 30, 1999.

    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 month period ended June 30, 1999. Purchased put
options open and outstanding at June 30, 1999 are disclosed in the schedule of
investments.

    FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Funds may 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.


<PAGE>

    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 High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed and
International Equity Funds have entered into forward foreign currency contracts
for the six month period ended June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999 there were no
open contracts in the High Yield Bond Fund and the Flexibly Managed Fund. Open
forward foreign currency contracts held by the International Equity Fund at June
30, 1999 were as follows:
