Dear Policyowner:
[Photo of Arthur V. Ferrara]
On the Economy
The first half of 1995 was a period of transition for both the U.S. and
global economies and financial markets.
The slowing economy in the U.S. and the expectation of Federal Reserve easing
of interest rates have been very supportive of the markets during the first half
of 1995.
The current conventional wisdom is that real economic growth will strengthen
during the third quarter and fourth quarters. If such expectations are realized,
the Fed will have accomplished a "soft landing."
Abroad, the global economy was one of moderate growth with mild inflationary
forces. Consistent with their economies, the stock market returns in the United
Kingdom, Germany, and Japan were weak during the first six months of 1995 when
compared, in U.S. dollar terms, to the U.S. stock market.
On Our Financial Strength
Once again, we are proud to report that as of June 30, 1995, both The
Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company (GIAC), issuer of ValuePlus, and its
parent, The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, continue to enjoy the
highest ratings available from four of the nation's leading insurance company
evaluators: Moody's (Aaa), Standard & Poor's (AAA), A.M. Best (A++), and Duff &
Phelps (AAA). Although these ratings do not apply to ValuePlus' underlying
variable investment options, which are subject to the risks of investing in
securities, GIAC's triple-A ratings reflect its ability to meet its guarantee of
the policy's insurance related benefits.
I invite you to read the portfolio managers' interviews on the following
pages to learn more about the strategies used to manage your investment options.
The interviews highlight fund performance during the first half of the year.
Thank you for continuing to invest for your future through GIAC.
Regards,
/s/ Arthur V. Ferrara

Q. How did the Fund perform during the first six months of 1995?
A. The Guardian Stock Fund performed very well during the first six months of
1995. During this period, the Fund had a total return of 20.67 percent.* The
Fund slightly outperformed the S&P 500 Index, which had a total return of 20.11
percent.#
Of course, the longer-term results are more significant for investors who
are seeking to build wealth over time. From this perspective, The Guardian Stock
Fund has also done well over longer time periods. For the five- and ten-year
periods ended June 30, 1995, average annual total returns were 15.74 percent and
15.15 percent, respectively. As the chart below indicates, based on total
returns, for the periods ended June 30, 1995, the Fund outperformed its Lipper
peer group average, a group of mutual funds with investment objectives and
policies similar to those of the Fund, over the one- and five-year time periods.
The Fund ranked in the top quintile of the Lipper U.S. Variable Account Growth
Fund category for the five-year period and in the second quintile for the
one-year period.+

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What strategies did you use during this period?
A. For many years, our fundamental strategic approach to portfolio management
has been a hybrid: It combines a quantitative stock selection system as well as
fundamental judgments about the market sectors and individual securities.
Together these two elements work in a synergistic fashion. It is a "top-down
plus bottom-up" approach. Portfolio manager judgment comes into play from the
top down, making the strategic positioning decisions for the Fund's portfolio,
while the stock scoring system helps identify individual securities in the
particular sectors that the portfolio manager has selected. Let me explain a
little bit more.
Our proprietary stock scoring system, which we have been continuously
developing and refining since 1972, helps us locate attractive stocks. We follow
a universe of approximately 1,300 stocks and create a score for each stock
weekly. Using the stock's score, we determine the relative attractiveness of
buying, holding, and selling each security in our portfolio. The other essential
element of our process is portfolio manager judgment. This comes into play as
the portfolio manager, among other things, determines the portfolio allocation

dividends and distributions and the deduction of Fund expenses. The actual
total returns for owners of the variable annuities or variable life
insurance policies which provide for investment in the Fund will be lower
to reflect charges deducted from the separate account which relate to a
particular contract and the charges under such contract. Past performance
is not a guarantee of future results.

+ Lipper rankings were reported in Lipper's Mutual Funds Performance Analysis
Special Report, 2nd Quarter 1995. Rankings, for the periods ended June 30,

between large-cap and small-cap segments of the market; determines the portfolio
allocation between different economic sectors, such as energy, financial,
technology, etc.; and develops procedures to guide portfolio rebalancing.
Both aspects of our approach contributed to our good relative investment
performance during the first half of 1995. In general, the stock scoring system
successfully distinguished the better and poorer performing stocks. Although all
areas of the stock market did well this half of the year (even the stocks in our
bottom-ranked quintile had an average gain of 14.9 percent), the stocks that
were ranked in our top quintile showed an average gain of 20.4 percent. The
stock scoring system was clearly a valuable tool that enhanced portfolio
performance during this period.
The portfolio manager's judgment also contributed to the above-average
results. Our judgment on major issues during this period was pretty good. For
example, the Fund was substantially overweighted in technology during the
period, and it was the best performing sector of the twelve which we monitor. At
the same time, the portfolio was substantially under-weighted in utility company
shares, and that sector substantially underperformed in the market. Also, during
the first quarter of 1995, we surmised that the continuing decline in the
external value of the U.S. dollar would be an important stimulant for the shares
of U.S. companies with sizable global exposure. As a result, we moved a
significant portion of the portfolio into shares of these companies, which were
generally large-cap companies in either the technology or consumer nondurable
sectors. The move turned out very favorably, as many of those stocks were market
leaders during the balance of the first half of the year. We believe the theme
of large-cap growth-type companies leading the market is likely to continue
through the balance of 1995 and we will continue to move the portfolio in this
direction.
Q. What is your outlook on the economy?
A. The Federal Reserve has attempted to engineer a "soft landing" of the U.S.
economy in 1995, in order to contain inflationary pressures. At this point, it
appears that they have been generally successful. By "soft-landing," we mean two
or more successive quarters where real gross domestic product grows at less than
a two-percent rate and where a recession is avoided. Currently, it appears that
somewhat more rapid growth may resume in the fourth quarter of 1995 and continue
into 1996.
Looking forward for the next five years, we believe that two major areas of
growth stand out: first, high-tech capital equipment including exports of
high-tech capital goods; and second, consumer spending on healthcare, travel,
and recreation.
Q. What about the stock market?
A. Prospects for further stock market gains in the years ahead seem promising.
As the generation of "baby-boomers" ages, and their retirement financing needs
become more clear to them, the flow of money into the stock market seems likely
to increase. This investing may take many forms: direct, mutual funds, 401(k)
plans, pension plans, etc. Corporate stock buy-backs have also become an
important driving force in the marketplace, and the flow of funds from outside
the U.S. seems likely to increase. When you combine these factors with the
effects of an accommodating monetary policy and a reasonable level of stock
valuation, we believe that the basic conditions exist for potentially continuing
the bullish stock market.

A hypothetical $10,000 investment made at the inception of The Guardian Stock
Fund on April 13, 1983, would have grown to $57,775 on June 30, 1995. This
represents a total return of 477 percent! We compare our performance to that of
the S&P 500, which is an unmanaged index that is generally considered the
performance benchmark of the U.S. stock market. While you may not invest
directly in the S&P, a similar hypothetical investment would have had a total
return of 336 percent and would now be worth $43,645. The cost-of-living index,
as measured by the consumer price index, which is generally representative of
the level of U.S. inflation, is also provided to lend a more complete
understanding of the investment's real worth.

The Guardian Bond Fund
[Photo of Michele S. Babakian, Portfolio Manager]
Q. How was overall bond market performance during the first six months of 1995?
Were there specific sectors that did better than others?
A.The bond market performed extremely well in the first half of 1995 with the
Lehman Aggregate Bond Index producing an 11.44 percent return.* The Index's
return is made up of the returns of various types of fixed-income securities
with each sector class providing the following returns: 11.21 percent on
Treasury and agency securities, 13.80 percent on corporate bonds, 10.73 percent
on mortgage-backed securities, and 8.14 percent on asset-backed securities.
Corporate bonds obviously outperformed all other sectors of the fixed-income
market. This occurred despite narrow yield spreads to the Treasury curve.
Investor demand and low supply in the first quarter caused spreads to continue
to narrow to historically tight levels. In the second quarter, an increase in
the number of new issues caused spreads to widen. Nonetheless, new corporates
continued to be aggressively purchased.
Q. How did the Fund perform in this environment?
A. The Fund had a total return of 10.37 percent for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1995.# The chart below compares the composition of the Fund to the
Lehman Aggregate Bond Index at June 30, 1995.
The main sector that caused the Fund to lag behind the Index's year-to-date
return was the mortgage-backed sector. Interest rate volatility increased
significantly in the second quarter causing mortgage prices to lag behind the
performance of other fixed-income sectors. Our comparatively heavy allocation to
this sector is being maintained into the third quarter as, however, volatility
is expected to drop.
[The table below was represented as a bar graph in the printed material.]
The Guardian Bond Fund Lehman Aggregate Bond Index
---------------------- ---------------------------
Treasury & Agency 25.6 54.2
Corporate 25.9 16.7
Mortgage-backed 38.1 28.0
Asset-backed 6.8 1.1
Cash 3.6 0.0
Q. What has been your investment strategy so far this year and will you continue
it during the next period?
A. During the first quarter, we maintained a relatively large cash position
until a low growth/inflation trend was confirmed. This more defensive posture
included a higher allocation to Treasury securities and short-term asset-backed
securities. As the bond market rally continued, we became more bullish on the
market and extended the duration of the portfolio from being shorter than that
of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index to a duration on June 30 of 5.0 years, which
was .23 years longer than the Index. The steepening of the yield curve and
expectation of a Federal Reserve easing of rates prompted us to purchase more
assets in the shorter end of the curve. After reaching 34.4 percent at the end
of January 1995, the Fund's total Treasury and agency position has since been
pared down to 25.6 percent on June 30, 1995, while net purchases of higher
yielding corporate securities and mortgage pass-throughs have increased.
Q. What is your outlook on the economy?
A. The final two quarters of 1995 are expected to exhibit more stability in
yields as well as lower volatility levels. There may be mixed economic growth

statistics and inflation data but recent economic forecasts project that gross
domestic product figures for the third and fourth quarters should come in at
around 1.5 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively, with the annual consumer price
index rate, a rate that is used as a measure of inflation, expected to be
approximately 3.0 percent to 3.5 percent.
Unlike the first half of 1995 when the major calamities of the collapse of
emerging markets, the Mexican debt crisis, and depreciation of the dollar
occurred, the second half should exhibit more stability. Emerging markets have
recovered, the dollar has regained some of its strength and our domestic budget
process should be bullish for the market.
With the expected stabilizing of the U.S. and global financial markets and
with moderate gross domestic product growth, we believe that we can look forward
to continued positive returns.
"We expect that volatility in the mortgage market should decrease in the
third and fourth quarters from the high levels of the second quarter, causing
better total returns for this sector."

Baillie Gifford International Fund
[Photo of R. Robin Menzies, Portfolio Manager]
Q. We have all heard about the drop in the U.S. dollar. How has that affected
the international securities markets?
A. The clearest impact of the dollar's decline is that it has inflated the
returns from overseas investments. But if you look at the performance of
overseas markets in local terms, many of the overseas markets now appear
reasonably priced compared with the U.S. For example, the German market has
hardly risen at all and the Japanese market has fallen sharply.
However, many overseas markets have not yet reflected the strong growth in
local earnings because interest rates overseas are still quite high (with the
exception of Japan). Since there is still considerable room for interest rates
to fall in overseas markets (and low interest rates are generally good for stock
markets), stocks in these markets present a potentially good value. We believe
that the next six months will be positive for investors in overseas markets in
general.
Q. What factors and strategies affected the Fund's performance over the past six
months?
A. The Fund had a total return for the six-month period ended June 30 of 0.41
percent.* Our benchmark index, the Morgan Stanley Europe, Australia, and the Far
East (EAFE) Index had a return of 2.76 percent for the same period.# Japan had a
tough six months, with its stock market returning -8.2 percent in dollar terms
(-21.9 percent in yen). Correspondingly, our holdings in Japan (approximately
27.9 percent of the portfolio) retarded Fund performance. Fortunately, the other
Asian markets, where we have a sizable exposure, have done much better, as have
some European ones, especially on the Continent.
The Fund has had a strategy of hedging some of its exposure in yen in order
to protect U.S. investors from the effects of a decline in the highly valued
Japanese currency. This insurance policy was a costly one for most of the past
six months, as the yen continued to appreciate, but more recently the dollar has
been a little stronger and, currently, our hedges are profitable.
As regards individual stocks, we have continued to concentrate on
high-quality growth stocks which we buy and hold after in-depth research.
Examples of these include: some of the lightly regulated British utilities, such
as National Power, which are growing their dividends rapidly; Lufthansa, the
German airline whose freight and passenger business is booming and whose
management has improved enormously since privatization; and companies with
exposure to the rapidly growing economies of the Far East, such as Thailand's
Industrial Finance Company, whose shares have already risen by nearly 26 percent
this year.
Q. Are there any political or demographic factors that are making certain
countries or regions particularly attractive?
A. We are still impressed by the smaller Asian economies, several of which, such
as Malaysia and Thailand, are achieving real growth rates of 7 to 10 percent --
and look set to continue to do so.
We are impressed by the core hard-currency countries of Europe such as
Germany and Holland. There are many strong companies based in these countries,
and interest rates are likely to fall over the next few months.
The British market is also looking quite attractive; its valuation has been
depressed by overblown political concerns but earnings growth is still strong.

* Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends

# The Morgan Stanley EAFE Index is a leading unmanaged index of international
stocks. It is capitalization-weighted and carries a significantly higher
weighting (50 percent plus) in Japan than the Fund is normally likely to have
because the Fund seeks to diversify investments across all major
international markets. The performance of the Fund and EAFE may not therefore
always correlate closely. The EAFE Index is not available for investment.

Though the Japanese market remains very highly rated, its valuations are
now back to what are, for Japan, normal levels after the excesses of the "bubble
economy" period from 1985 to 1989 when prices rose out of control. Japan's
economic recovery is continually deterred by the strength of the yen, but
exporters, amazingly, seem to be slowly adjusting to this tough situation. It is
also encouraging that Japanese banks are finally recognizing their bad debt
problems. Compared to our benchmark, we have a relatively low weighting in Japan
at present; our next move will probably be to increase it.
The political wild card among the major markets is probably France. The
recently elected President Chirac is far less of a hawk on interest rates and is
less concerned about the strength of the franc. He is likely to cut interest
rates more over the next few months, and the French market should begin to show
a positive response to this.

Access to equity markets worldwide?
Many foreign markets have outperformed the U.S. market over the past ten
years. In today's market environment, an investor with a well-chosen mix of
domestic and foreign investments may experience higher overall returns than an
investor holding only U.S. investments. International funds such as Baillie
Gifford International Fund allow you to take advantage of many long-term growth
opportunities that exist beyond U.S. borders.

Value Line Centurion Fund
[LOGO]
Q. How has the Fund performed during the past six months?
A. We have been very pleased with the Fund's performance during the six months
ended June 30, 1995. It had a total return of 23.05 percent* compared to the S&P
500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which had total returns of 20.11
percent and 20.29 percent, respectively.# The stock market performance during
this period has been driven by large capitalization stocks (stocks of companies
with over $14 billion in market capitalization), stocks with high price/earnings
ratios (where the price is over eighteen times the earnings) and low yield
stocks (where the return is less than 1 percent).
Q. What has been your investment focus during the first six months of the year?
What will it be for the next six months?
A. Our investment focus remains the same as six months ago. The portfolio is
biased toward the technology sector, where we see continued earnings momentum.
Through the end of June, technology has clearly been the leader. We do not
anticipate making major changes to our strategy at this point. However, small
capitalization stocks represent an overlooked area and may be an area of
opportunity in the coming quarters as investors start bargain-hunting. In
anticipation of this move, the average market capitalization of the Centurion
Fund may drift lower as we see good value in this overlooked area. We will
continue to use the Value Line Ranking System and select only those stocks that
are ranked in the two highest categories for "timeliness" -- probable market
performance in the following six to twelve months.
Q. What is your outlook on the economy?
A. When the numbers are finally in, it is our view that the second quarter will
reflect some economic weakness, but it will not be the beginning of a slide into
recession. The economy appears sound and we believe that it should have a modest
rebound going into 1996. Inflation remains in check and interest rates should
continue to decline modestly. Corporate earnings remain sufficiently strong to
provide support for this market. While it is possible to have a correction at
any time, the long-term investor should use this as a buying opportunity. We
believe that the current economic cycle is of a longer term, having three to
four years remaining before we need to worry about a possible recession.

Value Line Strategic Asset Management Trust
[LOGO]
Q. How were the Trust's assets allocated in the first half of 1995?
A. The Strategic Asset Management Trust uses Value Line's proprietary stock and
bond market models to determine the suggested optimal asset allocation at any
given time. Although the Trust may place as much as 100 percent of its
investments in any given asset class, on average over time it will hold about 55
percent of assets in stocks, 35 percent in bonds, and 10 percent in money market
instruments. In the first half of 1995, the stock model continued to suggest a
moderately bullish stance, and 65 percent to 75 percent of assets were held in
stocks. The variable in the model that suggested a moderately bullish stance was
the decline in long-term U.S. interest rates. This, combined with a relatively
high level of free reserves in the banking system, offset the negative factor of
higher stock prices. The bond model determines what proportion of remaining
assets will be in bonds versus cash. The bond model moved from neutral to
negative in the first half of 1995. This shift was due to the declining yields
offered by bonds--meaning that the income earned from a bond compared to its
price deteriorated. The Trust has therefore purchased no additional bonds in
1995, and this asset class has stood at just over 10 percent of total holdings
throughout the period. That has left 15 percent to 25 percent of the Trust
invested in cash equivalents such as short-term U.S. government agency
obligations and repurchase agreements thus far in 1995.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions, and the deduction of Trust expenses. The actual total
returns for owners of the variable annuities or variable life insurance
policies which provide for investment in the Trust will be lower to reflect
charges deducted from the separate account, which relate to a particular
contract and the charges under such contract. Past performance is not a
guarantee of future results.
# The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index that is generally considered to be
representative of U.S. stock market activity. The Lehman Government/Corporate
Bond Index is an unmanaged index that is generally considered to be
representative of U.S. government bond and corporate bond market activity.
The S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index are not
available for investment.
Q. How did the Trust perform in the first six months of the year?
A. The Trust earned a total return of 15.56 percent in the first six months of
the year.* This compared with gains of 20.11 percent for the unmanaged Standard
& Poor's 500 Index and 11.80 percent for the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond
Index.#
Q. What were some successful investments during this period? Were there any
disappointments?
A. The Trust's stock investments are selected from among issues ranked highly by
the Value Line "Timeliness" Ranking System, which tends to favor stocks with
strong earnings momentum, strong stock price momentum, and attractive
valuations. Investments are currently well-diversified among about 130 different
stocks. Top contributors to performance during the first half of the year
included McDonnell Douglas (aerospace), Safeway (grocery), IBM (computers),
Capital Cities/ABC (broadcasting), and Medtronic (healthcare). As always, there
were disappointments, too, including Sunbeam (household products), Pep Boys
(retailing), Georgia Gulf (chemicals), and WMS Industries (recreation). These
disappointing stocks have been replaced with issues with the potential for
stronger earnings and price momentum.
As for bond investments, the Trust always stays with high-quality
selections. In 1995, the portfolio has held only U.S. Treasury bonds. Just over
half of these holdings are the 7.25 percent interest rate bonds maturing in
August, 2022; they have provided the Trust with an excellent total return of
about 19 percent in the first half of 1995.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>
Q. What are the Trust's allocation models saying as we point toward the
remainder of 1995?
A. As stock prices have risen, the Trust's stock market model has been moving
toward a neutral posture, although it remains slightly bullish at 60 percent
invested. The bond model remains negative due to this year's sharp rally in
prices, which resulted in a drop in yields. It seems likely, then, that at this
time the portfolio will be trimming its stockholdings a bit, with the proceeds
going into cash equivalents rather than into bonds.
"Over a significantly reliable period, history shows us that a certain
combination of stocks and bonds will have the same risk level as bonds alone,
but a substantially higher rate of return."

Model Indicator Allocation
-------------------------------------------------
Stock Slightly Slightly higher in stocks
Bullish Lower in bonds & cash
-------------------------------------------------
Bond Bearish Lower in bonds
Higher in cash
-------------------------------------------------
When the stock model is bullish, the Trust's stock allocation percentage
will be relatively high, and the bond and cash positions relatively low. The
stock position is also affected by the relationship of the stock model reading
to the current U.S. Treasury bill yield.
When the bond model is bullish, a greater percentage of the Trust's assets
will be allocated to bonds and a lesser percentage to cash.
The Trust's portfolio mix is based on the outputs of Value Line's stock and
bond computer models as well as the prevailing yield on three-month U.S.
Treasury bills. The models have been rigorously back-tested over a twenty-year
time span by Value Line's statistical research staff and have shown significant
predictive ability over this period. Although past performance of these models
is no guarantee of future results for the Trust, Value Line believes its models
can be successful in predicting future market trends.
There are no limits on the percentage of the Trust's assets that can be
invested in any of the three asset classes. But under "neutral" circumstances
and over a long time period, the portfolio will be 55 percent invested in
stocks, 35 percent in bonds, and 10 percent in money market instruments.

The Guardian Cash Fund
[Photo of Alexander M. Grant, Jr., Portfolio Manager]
Q. How did The Guardian Cash Fund perform during the first six months of 1995?
A. As of June 30, 1995, the current 7-day yield for The Guardian Cash Fund was
5.51 percent and the effective 7-day yield was 5.66 percent. The Fund produced
an annualized total return of 5.54 percent through June 30, 1995.*
Q. What was your investment strategy during this period?
A. As always, our investment strategy was to seek high current income along with
maximum safety by investing in a diversified portfolio of money market
instruments that, according to our criteria, we believe present minimal credit
risks. During the first half of 1995, the Fund only purchased securities from
issuers that had received ratings in the highest credit quality categories
established by nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations such as
Moody's and/or Standard & Poor's. Most of the portfolio (92.8 percent) was
invested in commercial paper; the balance (7.2 percent) was invested in
repurchase agreements.
Q. What factors affected the Fund's performance?
A. Our standard policy is to maintain the Fund's "average days to maturity" in
the short range. In the first half of 1995, this policy allowed the Fund to take
advantage of the higher yields which market volatility caused to become
available in the types of securities typically purchased by the Fund.
"A money market fund investment option is suitable for those who wish to
remain invested in the market but are concerned about safety of principal."
-- Alexander M. Grant, Jr.

Investments in the Fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
government. While the Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $10.00 per share,
there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
* Yields are annualized historical figures. Effective yield assumes
reinvested income. Yields will vary as interest rates change. The actual
total return for owners of the variable annuities or variable life
insurance policies which provide for investment in the Fund will be lower
to reflect charges deducted from the separate account, which relate to a
particular contract and the charges under such contract.

The Guardian Separate Account B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)
Note 1 -- Organization
The Guardian Separate Account B (the Account) of The Guardian Insurance &
Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC) is a unit investment trust registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. GIAC established the Account as a
separate investment account on November 16, 1984. The Account commenced
operations on June 28, 1985. The Account currently comprises eight investment
divisions which invest in the shares of certain mutual funds and unit investment
trusts. GIAC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance Company
of America (Guardian Life), issues the single premium variable life insurance
policies offered through the Account. GIAC provides for variable accumulations
and benefits under the policies by crediting the net premium payments or policy
loan repayments to one or more investment divisions established within the
Account or to The Guardian Real Estate Account (GREA), as selected by the
policyowner. GREA is another separate investment account established by GIAC.
The policyowner also has the ability to transfer his or her policy value among
the investment divisions within the Account and GREA. Six of the investment
divisions of the Account invest in shares of one of the following mutual funds:
The Guardian Stock Fund, Inc. (GSF), The Guardian Bond Fund, Inc. (GBF), The
Guardian Cash Fund, Inc. (GCF), Baillie Gifford International Fund (BGIF), Value
Line Centurion Fund, Inc. and Value Line Strategic Asset Management Trust
(collectively, the Funds and individually, a Fund). The Account's two other
investment divisions purchase units in the Smith Barney Fund of Stripped
("Zero") U.S. Treasury Securities, Series A (SB Fund) and are designated as the
1995 Trust and the 2004 Trust (collectively, the Trusts and individually, a
Trust).
GSF, GBF and GCF each have an investment advisory agreement with Guardian
Investor Services Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of GIAC. BGIF has an
investment advisory agreement with Guardian Baillie Gifford Ltd., a joint
venture company formed by GIAC and Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd.
Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account
are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities
of GIAC. The assets of the Account will not be charged with any liabilities
arising out of any other business conducted by GIAC, but the obligations of the
Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of
GIAC.
Changes in net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the
periodic determination of benefits under the policies. The net assets are
sufficient to fund the amount required under state insurance law to provide for
death benefits (without regard to the policy's minimum death benefit guarantee)
and other policy benefits. Additional assets are held in GIAC's general account
to cover the contingency that a policy's guaranteed minimum death benefit might
exceed the death benefit which would have been payable in the absence of such
guarantee.
Note 2 -- Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the
Account.
Investments
(a) Proceeds from the sale of single premium variable life insurance policies
are invested by the Account's investment divisions in shares of the
corresponding Funds or Trusts at net asset value. All distributions made by a
Fund are reinvested in shares of the same Fund.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20
<PAGE>
Separate Account B -- 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) The market value of the investments in the Funds is based on the net
asset value of the respective Funds as of their close of business on the
valuation date.
(c) The market value of the investments in the Trusts is determined by
Standard & Poor's Corporation (the Evaluator) on the basis of current offering
bid prices for the securities, if available, current prices for comparable
securities, the value of the securities as determined by appraisal, or any
combination of the foregoing.
(d) Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
(e) The cost of investments sold is determined on a last in, first out (LIFO)
basis.
During the six months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31,
1994, purchases of shares of the Funds by the Account aggregated $39,150,805 and
$92,975,188, respectively, and purchases of units of the Trusts by the Account
aggregated $1,554,795 and $1,612,687, respectively. Aggregate Account sales of
shares of the Funds during the six months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended
December 31, 1994 amounted to $51,572,990 and $101,419,559, respectively and
sales of units of the Trusts amounted to $1,258,320 and $2,628,017,
respectively.
Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Account are part of the operations of GIAC and, as
such, are included in the combined tax return of GIAC. GIAC is taxed as a life
insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Under current tax law, no federal taxes are payable by GIAC with respect to
the operations of the Account.
Note 3 -- Administrative and Mortality
and Expense Risk Charges
GIAC assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the
Account. To cover these risks, GIAC deducts from each policy a daily charge from
the net assets of the Account which, on an annual basis, is equal to a rate of
.50% of a policy's account value. GIAC pays all transaction charges to Smith
Barney Inc. on the sale of Trust units to the Account and deducts a daily asset
charge against the assets of each Trust for reimbursement of these transaction
charges. The asset charge is currently equivalent to an effective annual rate of
.25% of the daily unit value of each Trust.
GIAC deducts certain charges from the single premium which are known as
"policy loading". The policy loading includes sales and administrative expenses,
state premium taxes and a risk charge for the guaranteed minimum death benefit.
The gross single premium paid by a policyowner is allocated to the Account or
The Guardian Real Estate Account on the policy date and becomes the policy's
account value. Thereafter, allocated policy loading is subtracted from a
policy's account value in equal yearly installments at the beginning of the
second through the eleventh policy years.
In addition, GIAC also makes a daily charge for the cost of life insurance,
based on the face value of the policyowner's insurance in force, as compensation
for the anticipated cost of paying death benefits.
Currently, GIAC makes no charge against the Account for GIAC's federal
income taxes. However, GIAC reserves the right to charge taxes attributable to
the Account in the future.
Under current laws, GIAC may incur state and local taxes (in addition to

premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant.
In the event of a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, GIAC
reserves the right to charge the Account for such taxes attributable to the
Account.
Note 4 -- Net Assets, June 30, 1995
At June 30, 1995, net assets of the Account were as follows:
Accumulation of Annual Premium
Variable Life Insurance
Policyowners' Accounts $286,882,593
Owned by GIAC 5,889,789
------------
$292,772,382
============
The amount retained by GIAC in the Account comprises amounts which GIAC
allocated to the Account to facilitate the commencement of its operations,
unamortized allocated policy loading (see Note 3) and amounts accruing to GIAC
from the operations of the Account and retained therein. Amounts retained by
GIAC in the Account in excess of unamortized allocated policy loading of
$5,008,088 at June 30, 1995 may be transferred by GIAC to its general account.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)
Note A -- Organization and Accounting Policies
The Guardian Stock Fund, Inc. (GSF), The Guardian Bond Fund, Inc. (GBF) and
The Guardian Cash Fund, Inc. (GCF) (collectively, the Funds and individually, a
Fund), are each incorporated in the state of Maryland and are diversified
open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). Each Fund sold 10,000 of its shares to The
Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC) for $100,000 in order to
facilitate the commencement of its operations. Such shares were subsequently
deposited in The Guardian Separate Account A, a separate account of GIAC which
is registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. Shares of the Funds
are only sold to certain separate accounts of GIAC. The Funds are available for
investment only through the purchase of certain variable annuity and variable
life insurance contracts issued by GIAC. GIAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (Guardian Life). Significant
accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:
Investments
Investments in GSF and GBF are carried at value. Securities listed on
national securities exchanges are valued based upon closing prices on these
exchanges. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed
securities for which there have been no trades for the day are valued at the
mean of the bid and asked prices.
Certain debt securities may be valued each business day by an independent
pricing service (Service) approved by the Board of Directors. Debt securities
for which quoted bid prices, in the judgment of the Service, are readily
available and representative of the bid side of the market, are valued at the
mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in
such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its
evaluation of the market for such securities). Other debt securities that are
valued by the Service are carried at fair value as determined by the Service,
based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities
of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from
dealers; and general market conditions.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including
certain mortgage-backed securities and restricted securities, are valued by
using methods that each Fund's Board of Directors, in good faith, believes will
accurately reflect their fair value.
The valuation of securities held by GCF is based upon their amortized cost
which approximates market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940
Act. Amortized cost valuations do not take into account unrealized gains and
losses.
Investment securities transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or
sale. Repurchase agreements are carried at cost, which approximates value (see
Note C).
Net realized gain or loss on sales of investments is determined on the basis
of identified cost. Interest income, including amortization of premium and
discount, is recorded when earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund qualifies and intends to remain qualified to be taxed as a
"regulated investment company" under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code

of 1986, as amended (Code), and as such will not be subject to federal income
tax on investment income (including any realized capital gains) which is
distributed to its shareholders in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Reclassifications of Capital Accounts
During the year ended December 31, 1994, GSF reclassified ($113,817) to
paid-in capital from accumulated net realized gains/(losses) to reflect
permanent differences between income recognition on a tax basis and a GAAP
basis.
Dividend Distributions
GSF and GBF intend to distribute each year, as dividends or capital gain
distributions, substantially all net investment income and net capital gains
realized. All such dividends or distributions are credited in the form of
additional shares of the applicable Fund at net asset value on the ex-dividend
date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax
regulations. Differences between the recognition of income on an income tax
basis and recognition of income based on generally accepted accounting
principles may cause temporary overdistributions of net realized gains and net
investment income. Currently, the policy of GSF and GBF is to distribute net
investment income approximately every six months and net capital gains annually.
This policy is, however, subject to change at any time by each Fund's Board of
Directors.
GCF earns interest on its investments daily and distributes all of its net
investment income, increased or decreased by realized gains or losses, each day
GCF is open for business. Earnings for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are paid
as a dividend on the next business day.
All dividends and distributions are credited in the form of additional shares
of GCF at net asset value on the payable date.
Note B -- Investment Advisory Agreements
and Payments to Related Parties
Each Fund has an investment advisory agreement with Guardian Investor
Services Corporation (GISC), a wholly owned subsidiary of GIAC. GISC receives a
management fee from each Fund computed at the rate of .50% of the daily average
net assets during the fiscal year, payable quarterly. If total expenses of any
Fund (excluding taxes, interest and brokerage commissions, but including the
investment advisory fee) exceeds 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of
the Fund, GISC has agreed to assume any such expenses. None of the Funds
exceeded this limit during the six months ended June 30, 1995.
No compensation is paid by any of the Funds to a director who is deemed to be
an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of a Fund. Each director not
deemed an "interested person" is paid an annual fee of $500 by each Fund, and
$350 for attendance at each meeting of each Fund. The aggregate remuneration
paid by each Fund to its disinterested directors was $5,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.
Note C -- Repurchase Agreements
Collateral underlying repurchase agreements takes the form of either cash or
fully negotiable U.S. government securities. Repurchase agreements are fully
collateralized (including the interest earned thereon) and such collateral is
marked to market daily while the agreements remain in force. If the value of the
underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
44
<PAGE>
The Guardian Stock, Bond & Cash - 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
interest, the Funds will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by
the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or
the seller defaults, the Funds maintain the right to sell the collateral and may
claim any resulting loss against the seller. Each Fund's Board of Directors has
established standards to evaluate the creditworthiness of broker-dealers and
banks which engage in repurchase agreements with each Fund. Repurchase
agreements of more than one week's duration (or investments in any other
securities which are deemed to be not readily marketable by the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission) are not permitted if more than 10% of a
Fund's net assets would be so invested.

Note F -- Line of Credit
A $20,000,000 line of credit available to all of the Funds was established
with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. The rate of interest charged on any
borrowings is based upon the prevailing Federal Funds rate at the time of the
loan plus .25% calculated on a 360 day basis per annum. For the six months ended
June 30, 1995, none of the Funds borrowed against this line of credit.

GBG Funds Inc., Baillie Gifford International Fund
and Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)
Note A -- Organization and Accounting Policies
GBG Funds, Inc. (the Company) is a diversified open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (1940 Act). The Company, which was incorporated in Maryland on October
29, 1990, was formerly known as Baillie Gifford International Fund, Inc. Shares
of the Company are offered in two series: Baillie Gifford International Fund
(BGIF) and Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Fund (BGEMF). The series are
collectively referred to herein as the "Funds." Shares of the Funds are only
sold to certain separate accounts of The Guardian Insurance and Annuity Company,
Inc. (GIAC). GIAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance
Company of America. The Funds are available for investment only through the
allocation of contract values under certain variable annuity and variable life
insurance contracts issued by GIAC. Upon commencing its operations on September
13, 1994, BGEMF sold 2,000,000 shares of its capital stock to The Guardian Life
Insurance Company of America for $20,000,000 to facilitate the commencement of
operations.
Valuation of Investments
Investments are carried at value. Securities listed on foreign exchanges
and for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing
price on the exchange on which the securities are traded at the close of the
appropriate exchange or, if there have been no sales during the day, at the mean
of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded in the over-the-counter
market are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities
listed or traded on any domestic (U.S.) exchanges are valued at the last sale
price or, if there have been no sales during the day, at the mean of the closing
bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available, including restricted securities and illiquid assets, are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the
Company's Board of Directors. Investing outside of the U.S. may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with domestic investments
including: the possibility of political and economic unrest and different levels
of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
Repurchase agreements are carried at cost which approximates market value
(See note E).
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars as
follows:
(1) The foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets
and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
the current rate of exchange.
(2) Purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The resulting gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
It is not the practice of the Funds to identify that portion of the results of
operations that arise as a result of changes in the exchange rates from
fluctuations that arise from changes in the market price during or at the end of
a reporting period except as noted below.
Realized foreign exchange gains and losses, which result from changes in
foreign exchange rates between the date on which the Funds earn dividends and
interest or pay foreign withholding taxes or other expenses and the date on
which U.S. dollar equivalent amounts are actually received or paid, are included
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
55
<PAGE>
GBG Funds -- 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in net realized gain on foreign currency related transactions. Realized foreign
exchange gains and losses which result from changes in foreign exchange rates
between the trade and settlement dates on security and currency transactions are
also included in net realized loss on foreign currency related transactions. Net
currency gains and losses from valuing investments and other assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the period end exchange rate are
reflected in net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign
currency related transactions.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection
with planned purchases or sales of securities, or to hedge against changes in
currency exchange rates affecting the values of securities denominated in a
particular currency. A forward exchange currency contract is a commitment to
purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward
rate. Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts
are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency
related transactions by the Funds. When forward contracts are closed, the Funds
record realized gains or losses equal to the differences between the values of
such forward contracts at the time each was opened and the value at the time
each was closed. Such amounts are recorded in net realized gain or loss on
foreign currency related transactions. Neither Fund will enter into a forward
foreign currency contract if such contract would obligate the Fund to deliver an
amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio
securities or other assets denominated in that currency.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Net realized gains
or losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified
cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis.
Taxes
Each Fund intends to qualify to be taxed as a "regulated investment
company" under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (Code), and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on income
(including any realized capital gains) which is distributed in accordance with
the provisions of the Code to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required. Security transactions after October 31 are treated as
arising on the first day of the Funds' next fiscal year.
Investment income received from investments in foreign currencies may be
subject to foreign withholding tax. Whenever possible, the Fund will attempt to
operate so as to qualify for reduced tax rates or tax exemptions in those
countries with which the United States has a tax treaty.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds intend to distribute each year, as dividends, substantially all
net investment income and net capital gains realized. All such dividends or
distributions are credited in the form of additional shares of the Funds at net
asset value on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in
conformity with federal income tax regulations. Differences between the
recognition of income on an income tax basis and recognition of income based on
generally accepted accounting principles may cause temporary overdistributions
of net realized gains and net investment income. Currently, the Funds' policy is

June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)
to distribute net investment income approximately every six months and net
capital gains once a year. This policy is, however, subject to change at any
time by the Company's Board of Directors.
Reclassifications of Capital Accounts
In accordance with recently approved accounting pronouncements, the Funds
have recorded reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassifications
have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to
present undistributed income and gains or accumulated losses on a tax basis
which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. During the year
ended December 31, 1994, BGIF and BGEMF reclassified ($322,462) and ($13,799),
respectively, to paid-in capital from accumulated net realized gains/(losses) to
reflect permanent differences between income recognition on a tax basis and a
GAAP basis. In addition, amounts distributed for tax purposes in excess of net
investment income in 1993 for BGIF have been recorded as a temporary
overdistribution of net investment income in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets. These amounts reflect the effect of temporary differences in the
computation of net investment income for financial reporting and tax purposes.
Note B -- Investment Management Agreements
and Payments to Related Parties
The Company has investment management agreements with Guardian Baillie
Gifford Ltd. (GBG), a Scottish corporation formed through a joint venture
between GIAC and Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. (BG Overseas). GBG is responsible
for the overall investment management of the Funds' portfolios subject to the
supervision of the Company's Board of Directors. GBG has entered into
sub-investment management agreements with BG Overseas pursuant to which BG
Overseas is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds' portfolios.
GBG continually monitors and evaluates the performance of BG Overseas.
As compensation for its services, GBG receives a management fee computed at
the rate of .80% of BGIF's daily average net assets and 1.00% of BGEMF's daily
average net assets. One-half of these fees (.40% relating to BGIF and .50%
relating to BGEMF) are payable by GBG to BG Overseas for its services. Payment
of the sub- management fees does not represent a separate or additional expense
to the Funds.
No compensation is paid by the Company to a director who is deemed to be an
"interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Company. Each director
not deemed an "interested person" is paid an annual fee of $500 and $350 for
attendance at each meeting of the Company. The aggregate remunerations paid by
BGIF and BGEMF to the Company's disinterested directors amounted to $3,375, for
the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Note C -- Deferred Organization and Initial
Offering Expenses
BGIF incurred expenses of $39,110 in connection with its organization and
registration. These expenses were advanced by GIAC and were repaid by BGIF upon
completion of its first year of operations. BGEMF's expenses of $2,536 in
connection with its organization and registration were advanced by GIAC and will
be repaid when it has completed one year of operations or when net assets reach
$50 million, whichever comes first. These expenses have been deferred and are

being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period, beginning with
the commencement of BGIF's operations in February, 1991 and BGEMF's operations
in September, 1994.
Note D -- Investment Transactions

Forward foreign currency contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell
a specified amount of foreign currency at a future date and at a future price.
Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms
of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign
currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
At June 30, 1995, BGIF had open forward foreign currency contracts, as listed
below, with net unrealized gain of $138,789 which are included in net unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation).

Note E -- Repurchase Agreements
Collateral underlying repurchase agreements takes the form of either cash
or fully negotiable U.S. government securities. Repurchase agreements are fully
collateralized (including the interest earned thereon) and such collateral is
marked-to-market daily while the agreements remain in force. If the value of the
underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued
interest, the Funds will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by
the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or
the seller defaults, the Funds maintain the right to sell the collateral and may
claim any resulting loss against the seller. The Company's Board of Directors
has established standards to evaluate the creditworthiness of broker-dealers and
banks which engage in repurchase agreements with the Funds. Repurchase
agreements of more than seven days' duration (or investments in any other
securities which are deemed to be not readily marketable by the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission) are not permitted if more than 10% of the
applicable Fund's net assets would be so invested.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995 (unaudited)
1 -- Significant Accounting Policies
Value Line Centurion Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements.
(A) Security Valuation.
Securities listed on a securities exchange and over-the-counter securities
traded on the NASDAQ national market are valued at the closing sales price on
the date as of which the net asset value is being determined. In the absence of
closing sales prices for such securities and for securities traded in the
over-the- counter market, the security is valued at the midpoint between the
latest available and representative asked and bid prices. Short-term instruments
with maturities of 60 days or less at the date of purchase are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term instruments with
maturities greater than 60 days, at the date of purchase, are valued at the
midpoint between the latest available and representative asked and bid prices,
and commencing 60 days prior to maturity such securities are valued at amortized
cost. Other assets and securities for which market valuations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as the Board of Directors may determine in
good faith.
(B) Repurchase Agreements.
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, the Fund's
custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of
which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including
accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one
business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis
to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default of the
obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and
apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain
circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be
subject to legal proceedings.
(C) Federal income Taxes.
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
of its taxable income to its shareholder. Therefore, no federal income tax is
required.
(D) Dividends and Distributions.
It is the Fund's policy to distribute to its shareholder, as dividends and as
capital gains distributions, all the net investment income for the year and all
net capital gains realized by the Fund, if any. Such distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. All dividends or distributions will be
payable in shares of the Fund at the net asset value on the ex-dividend date.
This policy is, however, subject to change at any time by the Board of
Directors.
(E) Amortization.
Discounts on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the life
of the security with a corresponding increase to the security's cost basis;
premiums on debt securities are not amortized.

1 -- Significant Accounting Policies
Value Line Strategic Asset Management Trust (the "Trust") is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its
financial statements.
(A) Security Valuation.
Securities listed on a securities exchange and over-the-counter securities
traded on the NASDAQ national market are valued at the closing sales price on
the date as of which the net asset value is being determined. In the absence of
closing sales prices for such securities and for securities traded in the
over-the-counter market, the security is valued at the midpoint between the
latest available and representative bid and asked prices.
The Board of Trustees has determined that the value of bonds and other
fixed-income securities be calculated on the valuation date by reference to
valuations obtained from an independent pricing service which determines
valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities,
without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. This service takes into account
appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of
securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading
characteristics and other market data in determining valuations.
Short-term instruments with maturities of 60 days or less at the date of
purchase are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
Short-term instruments with maturities greater than 60 days at the date of
purchase are valued at the midpoint between the latest available and
representative asked and bid prices, and commencing 60 days prior to maturity
such securities are valued at amortized cost. Other assets and securities for
which market valuations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
the Board of Trustees may determine in good faith.
(B) Repurchase Agreements.
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, the Trust's
custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of
which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including
accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one
business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis
to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default of the
obligation to repurchase, the Trust has the right to liquidate the collateral
and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain
circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be
subject to legal proceedings.
(C) Federal Income Taxes.
It is the Trust's policy to qualify under, and comply with, the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholder. Therefore, no federal
income tax provision is required.
(D) Dividends and Distributions.
It is the Trust's policy to distribute to its shareholder, as dividends and
as capital gains distributions, all the net investment income for the year and
all the net capital gains realized by the Trust, if any. Such distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

generally accepted accounting principles. All dividends or distributions will be
payable in shares of the Trust at the net asset value on the ex-dividend date.
This policy is, however, subject to change at any time by the Board of Trustees.
(E) Amortization.
Discounts on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the life
of the security with a corresponding increase to the security's cost basis;
premiums on debt securities are not amortized.
(F) Investments.
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains
and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost
basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discount, including
original issue discount required for federal income tax purposes, on investments
is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 -- Trust Share Transactions, Dividends
and Distributions
Shares of the Trust are available to the public only through the purchase of
certain contracts issued by The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc.

Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
An advisory fee of $1,764,412 was paid or payable to Value Line, Inc. (the
Adviser), the Trust's investment adviser, for the six months ended June 30,
1995. This was computed at the rate of 1/2 of 1% per year of the average daily
net assets of the Trust during the period and paid monthly. The Adviser provides
research, investment programs, supervision of the investment portfolio and pays
costs of administrative services, office space, equipment and compensation of
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
78
<PAGE>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
administrative, bookkeeping and clerical personnel necessary for managing the
affairs of the Trust. The Adviser also provides persons, satisfactory to the
Trust's Board of Trustees, to act as officers and employees of the Trust and
pays their salaries and wages. The Trust bears all other costs and expenses.
The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Trust for expenses (exclusive of
interest, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) which in any year exceed
2.5% of the first $30 million of the average daily net assets, 2% of the next
$70 million and 1.5% on any excess over $100 million. No such reimbursement was
required for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Certain officers and directors of the Adviser and Value Line Securities, Inc.
(the Trust's distributor and a registered broker/dealer), and of GIAC are also
officers and Trustees of the Trust. A former officer of GIAC who is also a
trustee of the Trust was paid a fee of $1,370 by the Trust for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Trust paid
brokerage commissions totalling $367,010 to Value Line Securities, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, which clears its transactions through
unaffiliated brokers.
The Trust has an agreement with GIAC to reimburse GIAC for expenses incurred
in performing administrative and internal accounting functions in connection
with the establishment of contractowner accounts and their ongoing maintenance,
printing and distribution of shareholder reports and providing ongoing
shareholder servicing functions. Such reimbursement is limited to an amount no
greater than $18.00 times the average number of accounts at the end of each
quarter during the year. During the six months ended June 30,1995, the Trust
incurred expenses of $275,318 in connection with such services rendered by GIAC.
