Dear Shareholder:
 
  The Directors and Officers of the Asset Management Fund, Inc. are pleased to
send the Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders for the six months ending April 30,
1997.
 
  Throughout most of the period, a very benign inflationary environment pushed
bond prices higher and yields lower despite a rapidly growing economy and
increasing tightness in the labor market. The Federal Reserve, however, after
several warnings, finally said, "enough" and on March 5th, 1997 raised short
term rates by 25 basis points as a precautionary move designed to quell any
doubts that they continued to stand "foresquare" against inflation, be it
perceived or anticipated.
 
  Prices slumped and yields advanced, but only to the extent that the inflation
sensitive long end of the Treasury curve remained essentially unchanged over the
six month time frame while the short end of the Treasury curve cheapened by
about 20 basis points as short rates were forced upward in response to the Fed's
action.
 
  The durations of all the AMF portfolios were shortened early in 1997 in the
expectation that rates would likely be pressured upward by the robust economy
and for the foreseeable future. We would anticipate maintaining a fairly
defensive posture until there is greater certainty that economic growth will
moderate and that the Fed will remain on the sidelines. However, for a host of
reasons, the AMF portfolio managers are staunchly bullish over the longer term
and expect that current conditions will ultimately give-way to a prolonged
period of restrained economic activity and lower rates.
 
  As always, whatever our market view, the AMF portfolio management team remains
committed to providing professional asset management services and will continue
to manage the portfolios in a manner consistent with the objectives of our
shareholders. Thank you for investing with the Asset Management Fund.
 
Sincerely,
 
Rodger D. Shay
 
Rodger D. Shay
President

ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Asset Management Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") consists of five separate portfolios,
the Money Market Portfolio, the Short U.S. Government Securities Portfolio, the
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) Portfolio, the Intermediate Mortgage Securities
Portfolio and the U.S. Government Mortgage Securities Portfolio.
 
A. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management company. Significant accounting policies
are as follows:
 
SECURITY VALUATION
 
  Money Market Portfolio:
 
  Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost method, which
approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any
discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. The Portfolio
seeks to maintain net asset value per share at $1.00.
 
  Short U.S. Government Securities Portfolio, Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
  Portfolio, Intermediate Mortgage Securities Portfolio, and U.S. Government
  Mortgage Securities Portfolio:
 
  Portfolio securities are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and
asked prices, which may be furnished by a pricing service, at prices provided
directly by market makers, or using matrix pricing methods. Portfolio securities
for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
using methods determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term
instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued based upon
their amortized cost.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
  Eligible portfolio investments may be purchased from financial institutions,
such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The seller will be required on
a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreements
at not less than the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements are conditioned
upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system
or with the Fund's custodian.
 
DIVIDENDS TO STOCKHOLDERS
 
  Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net
short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually.
 
FEDERAL TAXES
 
  No provision is made for Federal taxes as it is each Portfolio's intention to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite
distributions to the stockholders, which will be sufficient to relieve each
portfolio from all or substantially all Federal income and excise taxes.
 
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
 
  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 these estimates.
 
OTHER
 
  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the cost of
investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for
both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
