Dear Shareholders:
Practically everyone would like to annualize the first quarter results. Both
bonds and equities provided excellent returns for investors according to
Ibbotson Associates. For now, investors seem to have positive expectations on
interest rates and are enjoying the benefits on earnings attributed to the
declining dollar. Additionally, they have become increasingly confident in the
ability of the Federal Reserve to engineer a soft landing (i.e., low inflation
without a recession) for the economy.
For the last six months there was even more good news for the markets. The
November election results combined with two additional Federal Reserve moves to
raise short term interest rates and good news on inflation amid signs of slower
economic growth all helped restore investor confidence.
What can be confusing is that a soft landing and a recession often look very
much the same. The economy is on an unpredictable course, and experts seem to be
particularly divided in their opinions. (Opinions always seem to get farther
apart when markets set new highs.) Bulls argue that earnings are excellent and
will remain healthy because of stringent cost controls and improving overseas
operations. Bears believe the Dow is at its peak for the cycle. Also, the
consensus of a soft landing can be shaken badly if the Fed has to raise interest
rates to protect the dollar. Finally, all signs do not indicate inflation can
remain under control.
There is much evidence that we have entered a period where interest rates,
whether increasing or decreasing, are likely to trade in a narrower range.
Slower but steady economic growth, coupled with a moderate inflationary
environment should prove to be positive for fixed income investments. The
uncertainty in the economy over whether we are heading toward a recession or a
soft landing should create buying opportunities in the equity markets.
The saga of the dollar reaffirms the fact that most events are neither totally
positive nor totally negative. The dollar will buy less in Europe and Japan, but
will buy more in Mexico and Canada than a year ago. However, determining which
investments benefit and which suffer from any event is very difficult and
requires experienced professionals to make the best decisions.
Finally, as always, it is important to remember not to vary from your investment
plan and that diversification across asset types and geographic regions is
important because asset classes tend to perform differently from each other in
different market conditions.
Sincerely,
Paul Gooding, President
Advantus Capital Management, Inc.

PERFORMANCE UPDATE
[PHOTO]
WAYNE SCHMIDT, CFA
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The Advantus Money
Market Fund is a mutual fund designed for
investors seeking a high level of current
income consistent with preservation of
capital and liquidity. The Fund plans to
achieve its objective by concentrating
investments
in short-term money market instruments
including U.S. Treasury Bills, high grade
commercial paper and bank certificates of
deposit.
-Seeks to maintain stable net asset value.
-Free checkwriting and telephone redemption.
-Dividends declared daily and paid monthly.
INVESTMENT IN THE ADVANTUS MONEY MARKET FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED
BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FUND WILL BE ABLE
TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
PERFORMANCE
The Fund's seven day compounded yield was 5.38 percent* as of March 31, 1995.
For the six month period the Fund's total return was 2.39 percent.*
The short term interest rates continued to grind higher over the past six
months. Yields on the three month U.S. Treasury Bill increased 108 basis points
to yield 5.85 percent, while yields on the six month Bill were only 68 basis
points higher to yield 6.11 percent. With inflation running at a 3 percent
annual rate, money market yields now offer investors a profitable place to park
cash.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
In February, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds rate for a seventh time
during this monetary tightening phase. The Fed Funds rate is now 6 percent, up
from 3 percent, while the discount rate has been increased to 5.25 percent, also
up from 3 percent. The higher rates are beginning to slow economic growth.
Prices of goods and services have remained stable, a key goal of Fed policy.
Higher short term rates and moderate inflation have brought value back to the
money market asset class.
Due to slower economic growth, the Federal Reserve is expected to be near or at
the end of its monetary tightening phase. With short term rates stabilizing, our
strategy has been to maintain the Fund's average days to maturity at a market
neutral 30 to 40 days. At the end of the quarter the Fund's average maturity was
33 days.
The Fund continues to be void of derivative securities. We invest exclusively in
U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agencies, and high quality commercial paper to
maintain both excellent liquidity and quality.
OUTLOOK
Short term interest rates are in a period of consolidation as the market ponders
future Federal Reserve action. The Fed has done a masterful job of achieving
price stability with slower economic growth and we expect the Fed to keep short-
term rates unchanged in the near term. The inflation and economic data received
in the upcoming quarters will dictate future Fed policy, as the Fed evaluates
the effect of the previous seven tightening moves.
2
<PAGE>
ADVANTUS MONEY MARKET FUND
MARCH 31, 1995
We believe that short-term rates will remain relatively stable as we move
farther into 1995. The trend toward significantly higher short-term rates is on
hold and rates should remain in a narrow range during months ahead. Once we feel
more certain that the Fed has completed its monetary tightening phase we will
look to extend our average days to maturity.
*Historical results are not an
indication of future performance.

The seven-day compounded yield is computed by determining the net change in the
value of a hypothetical account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of a seven calendar day period, dividing that change by seven, adding one to the
quotient, raising the sum to the 365th power and subtracting one from the
result.

ADVANTUS MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Advantus Money Market Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. On February 14, 1995, shareholders of the Fund
approved a name change to Advantus Money Market Fund, Inc. (effective March 1,
1995). Prior to March 1, 1995, the Fund was known as MIMLIC Money Market Fund,
Inc.
The significant accounting policies of the Fund are summarized as follows:
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
All securities are valued at the close of each business day. Pursuant to
Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended), all securities are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market value, in order to maintain a
constant net asset value of $1.00.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and
discount computed on a level yield basis, is accrued daily.
FEDERAL TAXES
The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required.
The Fund's policy is to make required minimum distributions prior to December
31, in order to avoid federal excise tax.
Net investment income may differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of temporary book-to-tax differences. The character of
distributions made during the year from net investment income may differ from
their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to
the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are
distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses)
were recorded by the Fund.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly in
cash or reinvested in additional shares. Capital gains, if any, are paid
annually.
(2) INVESTMENT SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
For the period from October 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995, purchases of
securities and proceeds from sales aggregated $106,632,292 and $100,755,861,
respectively.
(3) EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On February 14, 1995 shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment
advisory agreement with Advantus Capital Management, Inc. (Advantus Capital or
the Adviser). Under the agreement, Advantus
9
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
(3) EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--(CONTINUED)
Capital manages the Fund's assets and provides research, statistical and
advisory services and pays related office rental and executive expenses and
salaries. Advantus Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIMLIC Asset
Management Company (MIMLIC Management) which, prior to March 1, 1995, served as
investment adviser to the Fund. The fee for investment management and advisory
services is based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at the annual rate
of .50 percent, which is the same as under the old agreement.
The Fund pays The Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Company (Minnesota
Mutual), the parent of MIMLIC Management, a flat fee of $977 per month plus
$1.50 per month per account for transfer agent fees and expenses.
The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution relating to the payment of
certain distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (as amended). The Plan provides for a fee up to .30 percent
of average daily net assets to be paid to MIMLIC Sales Corporation (MIMLIC
Sales), the underwriter of the Fund, to be used to pay certain expenses incurred
in the distribution, promotion and servicing of the Fund's shares. MIMLIC Sales
is currently waiving all of the distribution fee from the Fund.
The Fund also bears certain other operating expenses including outside
directors' fees, custodian fees, registration fees, printing and shareholder
reports, legal, auditing and accounting services, organizational costs and other
miscellaneous expenses.
The Fund pays an administrative services fee to Minnesota Mutual for
accounting, auditing, legal and other administrative services which Minnesota
Mutual provides. Prior to February 1, 1995, the administrative service fee was
$3,350 per month. Effective February 1, 1995, the administrative service fee is
$2,500 per month.
Advantus Capital (MIMLIC Management prior to March 1, 1995) directly incurs
and pays the above operating expenses and the Fund in turn reimburses Advantus
Capital (MIMLIC Management prior to March 1, 1995). During the period from
October 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995 Advantus Capital and MIMLIC Management
voluntarily agreed to absorb $75,683 in expenses which were otherwise payable by
the Fund.
As of March 31, 1995, Minnesota Mutual and subsidiaries and the directors
and officers of the Fund as a whole own 7,591,836 shares or 25.4 percent of the
Fund's total shares outstanding.
Legal fees were paid to a law firm of which the Fund's secretary is a
partner in the amount of $1,949.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The Advantus Family of Funds offers a variety of services that enhance your
ability to manage your assets. Check each Fund's prospectus for the details of
the services and any limitations that apply to a particular Fund:
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES: You can move all or part of your investment dollars from
one fund to any other Advantus Fund you own (for identical registrations within
the same class) at any time as your needs change. Exchanges are at the then
current net asset value. (Exchanges from the Money Market Fund will incur the
applicable sales charge, if not previously subjected to the charge.)
Shareholders may make four exchanges or telephone transfers between the Funds
each calendar year without incurring a transaction charge. Thereafter, there
will be a $7.50 transaction charge for each additional exchange or transfer
within the calendar year. Systematic Exchange Plans are exempt from this charge.
INCOME DISTRIBUTION FLEXIBILITY: You can have your fund dividends and other
distributions automatically reinvested with no sales charge, direct them from
one Advantus Fund to any other you own within the Fund family or, if you desire,
we'll pay you in cash.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN: You can set up a plan to receive checks at
specified intervals from you fund account--subject to minimum guidelines.
DIRECT DEPOSITS: At your request we will deposit your dividends or systematic
withdrawals directly into your checking or savings account instead of sending
you a check.
TELEPHONE TRANSFER: You may transfer money from one Advantus account to any
other Advantus account you own just by calling our toll free number. Sign up for
telephone exchanges on the Advantus Application or complete the telephone
authorization form.
SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER: If you have an Advantus Money Market account you may
transfer a set amount of money to another Advantus Fund to diversify your
investment portfolio and take advantage of dollar-cost averaging.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENT OF INSURANCE PREMIUMS: You may automatically pay your
Minnesota Mutual insurance premiums out of an Advantus Money Market account.
REDUCED SALES CHARGES: Letter of Intent, combined purchases with spouse,
children or single trust estates, and the Right of Accumulation make it possible
for you to reduce the sales charge on Advantus's non-money market funds.
SPECIAL PURCHASE PLANS: Our special purchase plans enable you to open an
Advantus fund account for as little as $25 and lower your average share cost
through "dollar-cost averaging." (Dollar-cost averaging does not assure a
profit, nor does it prevent loss in declining markets.) One of these plans--The
Automatic Investment Plan--allows you to invest automatically each month from
your checking or saving account.
IRAS, OTHER QUALIFIED PLAN: You can use the Advantus Family of Funds for your
Individual Retirement Account or other qualified plan including SEPs, profit
sharing, money purchase or defined benefit plans.
GROUP INVESTMENT PLAN: This plan provides employers and employees with a
convenient means for investing in the funds through payroll deduction.

TELEPHONE REDEMPTION: You may call us and redeem shares over the phone. Amounts
over $1,000 will be wire transferred to your personal bank account. The
prevailing wire charge will be added to the withdrawal amount. Amounts for less
than $1,000 will be mailed to your bank on your behalf. To set this up, please
send a voided check from your bank.
ACCOUNT UPDATES: You'll receive written confirmation of every investment you
initiate (monthly statements for your Money Market account) and quarterly
reports to help you track all of your investments in the Advantus Family of
Funds, and annual tax statements. Semiannual and annual reports will provide you
with portfolio information, fund performance data and the current investment
outlook.
TOLL-FREE SERVICE LINE: For your convenience in obtaining information and
assistance directly from MIMLIC Sales Corporation, call 1-800-443-3677. Our
voice response system is available from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Friday,

asset values and your account balances.
HOW TO INVEST

registered representative of MIMLIC Sales Corporation, distributor of the Funds.
