Fellow Shareholders:

     The national economy is witnessing a period of exceptional stability marked
by a low level of inflation. In large part this has been brought about and is
persisting by reason of changes fundamental to production and consumer attitude.
We have entered a period dominated by vast and rapidly growing technological
advances most widely understood as being identified with the computer. This
dynamic force has expanded knowledge and consequent productive accomplishment
beyond the scope of anything heretofore possible. Machinery and equipment with
greater efficiency has come on line. Productivity is rising and labor costs are
declining. With skills enhanced in this process there is at hand a revolution in
production of goods and consequent increase of wealth. This in some ways is not
unlike the industrial revolution of the 1800's.

     As this technological impact has been developing, world-wide competition
and concern about continued job availability has tempered wage demands.
Technological replacement or relocation of employable talent has effected
consumer attitudes at all levels restrained their use of disposable income.
Consumers have become resistant to price increases. They have also become more
determined in demanding better quality in exchange for their earnings.

     At the same time social and retirement programs are coming under more
careful consideration as uncertainty arises about their dependability. And as
another generation comes closer to retirement events are suggesting to many
persons that they must begin to think in terms of providing means for their
retirement. In that event increased investment in suitable stocks and bonds will
be necessary to provide retirement benefits will occur. The demand for such
investments will rise and sustain improved market conditions.

     The technological changes recited here suggest better opportunities from
investing in companies most likely to prosper from manufacture of equipment in
the field of technology, for example, in contrast to consumer types of goods.
This kind of basic philosophy has served to motivate investment selections by
your Fund.

     Moreover, our analysis of the nation's economy leads to the conclusion that
interest rates are in a downward trend likely to continue over the next several
years. This belief is consistent with our view respecting inflation. These are
fundamental concepts upon which we will continue to rely in the management of
your Fund. We believe the market continues to hold opportunities for creation of
wealth and we will endeavor to find them for increasing your benefits.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        /s/ Charles W. Steadman

                                        Charles W. Steadman
                                        Chairman of the Board of

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
  Steadman Technology and Growth Fund

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Steadman Technology and Growth Fund, including the portfolio of investments, as
of June 30, 1995, and the related statements of operations for the period
January 1, 1995, through June 30, 1995 and for the year ended December 31, 1994,
the statements of changes in net assets for the period January 1, 1995 through
June 30, 1995, and the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the financial
highlights for the period January 1, 1995 through June 30, 1995, and each of the
five years ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1995, by correspondence with the
custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Steadman Technology and Growth Fund as of June 30, 1995, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for each
of the respective periods stated in the first papagraph, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                      STEADMAN TECHNOLOGY and GROWTH FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

1.   Significant accounting policies

     Steadman Technology and Growth Fund (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a nondiversified, open-end
investment company. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles for investment companies.

     Security valuation

          Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are
     valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the
     period. Investments for which no sale was reported on that date are valued
     at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Short-term investments
     are stated at cost, which, when combined with accrued interest receivable,
     approximates market value. All cash and cash equivalents are invested in a
     single money market fund maintained by the investment custodian.

     Security transactions and investment income

          Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains
     and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost
     basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
     and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

     Income taxes

          The Fund is subject to income taxes in years when it does not qualify
     as a regulated investment company under subchapter M of the Internal
     Revenue Code. The Fund accounts for income taxes using the liability
     method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the tax
     effect of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax
     bases of assets and liabilities, measured using presently enacted tax
     rates. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred
     tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

     Fiscal Year

          During 1995, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to
     June 30. The accompanying financial statement include audited financial
     statements for the six-month transition period ended June 30, 1995.

     Components of net asset

          In accordance with Statement of Position 93-2 "Determination,
     Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
     and Return of Capital Distribution by Investment Companies," the Fund
     reclassified to paid-in capital permanent differences between tax and
     financial reporting of net investment loss and net realized gains/losses.
     The results of operations and net assets are not affected by these
     reclassifications.

3.   Purchases and sales of securities

     During the six month period ended June 30, 1995, purchases and proceeds
from sales of investment securities aggregated $1,980,615 and $1,748,618,
respectively.

     The net unrealized depreciation of investments aggregated $35,404 of which
$69,859 related to gross unrealized appreciation and $105,263 related to gross
unrealized depreciation.

4.   Investment advisory fee and transactions with affiliates

     Steadman Security Corporation (SSC) has provided advisory services under an
agreement which first became effective in 1972. On February 28, 1984, at the
Annual Meeting of the shareholders, a new Investment Advisory Agreement was
approved. Under the new advisory agreement, SSC will continue to provide the
same services it provided under the same terms and conditions of the previous
agreement. The agreement will continue in effect subject to the annual approval
by the Board of Trustees or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Fund. The fee for investment advisory services is based on 1% of the
first $35,000,000 of the average daily net assets of the Fund, 7/8 of 1% on the
next $35,000,000 and 3/4 of 1% on all sums in excess thereof. In addition to the
investment advisory fee, SSC received fees from the Fund for the performance of
delegated services (dividend disbursing agent and transfer agent) as defined in
the Trust Indenture, as amended. The fee for such services was computed on the
basis of the number of shareholder accounts calculated as of the last business
day of each month at $1.35 per account. SSC received reimbursements from the
Fund for the salaries and benefits of its employees who perform functions other
than investment advisory and shareholder service functions for the Fund.

     Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are "affiliated persons" of the
Investment Adviser, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

5.   Federal income taxes

     In the fiscal period ended June 30, 1995, the Fund did not meet the asset
diversification requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. Thus,
the Fund did not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Fund had a net investment loss in the
fiscal period ended June 30, 1995 and realized net capital losses in the fiscal
period ended June 30, 1995, therefore no income tax provision is required. A
full valuation allowance was provided throughout the fiscal period ended June
30, 1995 for deferred tax assets, totalling approximately $1,027,000 at June 30,
1995, which arise principally from net operating loss carryforwards and capital
loss carryforwards available for income tax purposes.

     The Fund has net operating loss carryovers approximating $2,496,000 which
are available to offset future net operating income in non-qualifying years, if
any, which expire as follows: (1999) $111,000; (2000) $272,000; (2001) $264,000;
(2002) $252,000; (2003) $236,000; (2004) $240,000; (2005) $254,000; (2006)
$194,000; (2007) $212,000; (2008) $198,000; (2009) $177,000 and (2010) $86,000.
Capital loss carryforwards aggregating approximately $206,000 are available to
offset future capital gains, if any, which expire as follows: (1997) $151,000,
and (2000) $55,000.

Components of net asset

In accordance with Statement of Position 93-2 "Determination, Disclosure,
and Financial Statement Presentation of income, Capital Gain, and Return of
Capital Distribution by Investment Companies," the Fund reclassified to paid-in
capital of permanent differences between tax and financial reporting of net
investment loss and net realized gains/losses.

6.   Unclaimed property

     In December 1989, the Fund and other Steadman Funds were contacted by the
Unclaimed Property Clearinghouse (the Clearinghouse), an association of some 45
member states organized to facilitate the collection for the states of unclaimed
property that is considered abandoned under the laws of the member states. The
Clearinghouse requested certain documents and information in order to determine
whether, and if so, to what extent its member states may assert claims for
abandoned accounts of the Fund's shareholders. On the basis of a review of the
documents and information provided in response to this request, the Special
Counsel for the Clearinghouse has informally asserted that the member states are
entitled to certain property of the Fund's shareholders. In addition, Steadman
Security Corporation holds certain unclaimed dividends of the Fund's
shareholders. In May 1991, the District of Columbia filed suit in the Superior
Court of the District of Columbia against the Fund, other Steadman Funds,
Steadman Security Corporation and its principal officer under the District of
Columbia Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act. Under this action the District
of Columbia sought possession and custody of the alleged abandoned property as
well as prejudgment interest, an unspecified amount of civil penalties, and
reimbursement for reasonable attorney's fees and costs. On March 25, 1993,
counsel for the District of Columbia, the Clearinghouse and the Fund executed a
settlement agreement, which involves no findings of any violations of law by the
Fund and other defendants. The Superior Court dismissed the suit as of November
30, 1993, although the terms of the settlement agreement do not call for
dismissal until after the closing of the agreement. The District of Columbia
appealed the dismissal. In accordance with the settlement agreement, record
title to certain shares of the Fund and associaled distributions were
transferred from the present shareholders of record to the members of the
Clearinghouse on the closing date, February 14, 1995. The shares will be
redeemed over a period of three years from this date. On May 9, 1995, the Court
of Appeals dismissed the appeal.
