Dear Shareholder:
 
     If the Dow Jones Industrial Average were to continue its first half pace,
it would top 30,000 in the year 2000! Something to think about.
 
THE NUMBERS . . . UP, UP AND AWAY
 
     The first half of 1995 was the best six month period for the S&P 500 since
the opening two quarters of 1991. Up 20.2%, the S&P 500 bested both major small
company indices, the Russell 2000 and the S&P Small Cap 600, which were up 14.4%
and 14.7%, respectively.
 
     Pennsylvania Mutual Fund ('PMF') provided a 10.8% return. This is in
keeping with PMF's historical range of capturing 70% to 100% of major small-cap
index returns during dramatic updrafts. As a risk averse fund, PMF has rarely
matched the small-cap indices in early bull market phases. However, as a market
cycle matures, a turn away from growth and momentum to less exciting, low
valuation issues usually takes place. PMF's results are consistent with this
return pattern. OVER THE LAST TWENTY YEARS, WHICH ENCOMPASSES MANY MARKET CYCLES
AND PERIODS OF UNDERPERFORMANCE, THE FUND HAS GENERATED A 17.0% AVERAGE ANNUAL
RETURN.
 
SMALL-CAP STOCKS -- LAGGING THEIR WAY TO NEW HIGHS
 
     In the movie Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is told to 'Let The Force Be With
You.' The force in the first six months of 1995 was clearly with large-cap,
globally oriented stocks. The drop in the U.S. dollar and the submerging of many
'emerging' markets created a renewed interest in domestic, large-cap equities,
pushing the popular Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 indices to a long
string of new highs. In contrast, small-caps struggled to keep up. The Russell
2000 index of small-cap stocks finally eclipsed its previous high (March 18,
1994) in early June. In spite of the June surge, small-caps still lag their
large-cap counterparts.
 
WE HAD OUR 'SOX' KNOCKED OFF
 
     Contributing to the first half's spectacular market returns was a meteoric
rise in technology stocks. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ('SOX') was up
over 100% in the last twelve months.

     The current atmosphere of euphoria suggests that memories of the 'high
tech, high wreck' experience that occurred with the last technology stock run-up
in 1983 (and subsequent collapse) have been erased. Although small-cap
technology stocks are popular and available, it has never been a market segment
to which we have committed significant amounts of capital.
 
     Imagine if the auto industry, in order to compete, had to produce more
fuel-efficient, easier-to-drive cars every year while cutting prices in half. Or
better yet, consider the airline industry which has a long record of high unit
growth but, as an industry, has yet to make the first dime in profits. We feel
that both examples are analogous to the pressures that many companies face in
the technology sector. The rate of product obsolescence rendered by scientific
advancement has made it difficult for many technology companies to maintain
competitive advantages and generate attractive long-term returns on capital.
 
     Successful high technology companies require staggering amounts of product
innovation, incredible pricing power and uninterrupted earnings per share
gains - very hard to accomplish and very rare, indeed. For those companies that
slip in the competition, turnarounds are highly unusual. What these enterprises
may lack in retained earnings, they often make up in richly priced common
stocks.
 
     For anyone feeling depressed about missing the recent high-tech stock
run-up, we thought we would share some interesting investment trivia which runs
counter to popular current assumptions:
 
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
 
     IN SPITE OF THE RECENT STELLAR MARKET PERFORMANCE AND ENORMOUS UNIT GROWTH,
TECHNOLOGY STOCKS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN A DRAG ON THE LAST 15+ YEARS OF PERFORMANCE
FOR BOTH THE S&P 500 AND THE RUSSELL 2000.
 
     History provides additional perspective on these exceptionally emotional
phases of the market. Past 'bubbles' have reflected obsessions like the 'tulip
mania' in the 17th century, the 'Nifty Fifty' in the early '70s, the energy
stock bonanza of the early '80s and the 1991 biotech stock craze. In each of
these bubbles, the money made by those smart enough to invest early was only
exceeded by the amount of money lost by those who invested late.
 
     We believe that the appropriate way to participate in the technology sector
is to invest in companies who serve or benefit from the industry. It was the
suppliers of the picks and shovels, not the speculators, who made money during
the California gold rush. Our approach to the technology sector is similar.

WHAT WE DO
 
     Pennsylvania Mutual Fund uses a risk averse approach to invest in the
securities of small-cap companies. The investment approach attempts to
understand and value a company's 'private worth.' Private worth is what we
believe the company would bring if the entire enterprise were sold in a private
transaction to a knowledgeable buyer. The price we will pay for a security must
be significantly under our appraisal of its private worth. The consistent use of
this discipline, applied to less well-known securities, is the source of our
performance.
 
NO OTHER PLACE WE WOULD RATHER BE
 
     The Fund focuses on companies with market caps below $750 million. Although
our orientation is small-cap, the picking universe is by no means small.
Currently, more than 7,000 securities, representing over $700 billion in total
market capitalization, fall within our range. Our portfolio's size is virtually
insignificant given the scope of this investable universe. We believe small-cap
stocks, especially at the low end of the capitalization range, are generally
less-known and, therefore, less likely to be understood and properly priced by
investors.
 
HOW IT WORKS
 
     Investment returns in undervalued small-cap companies can be unpredictable,
out-of-sync with the market and generally frustrating. Specific returns in any
given period are related to individual securities and market conditions.
Nevertheless, we expect in any period to have our share of winners and to see a
few laggards.
 
WINNERS
 
     Our most recent successes are depicted in the table that follows. During
the first half of 1995, each contributed substantially to our performance and
are representative of our approach to investing. PMF's BEST PERFORMERS, as
measured by dollar impact, were:
 
<TABLE>

---------------------------------------   --------
 
<S>                                       <C>
Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc.              94%
Penn Eng. & Manufact. Corp.                    79%
Ag-Chem Equipment Co., Inc.                   148%
Claire's Stores, Inc.                          51%
</TABLE>
 
     Atlantic Southeast Airlines and Claire's Stores were relatively large
investments in stocks we knew well and regard as premier companies in their
respective industries. In both cases, we made investments when business
conditions were difficult and Wall Street expectations were low. Since the
beginning of the year, both the airline industry, in the case of Atlantic
Southeast Airlines, and the retail environment, in the case of Claire's Stores,
have improved modestly. However, the investment community's opinion of these two
companies has changed radically and they are now viewed as high quality growth
stocks.
 
     Penn Engineering and Manufacturing Corp. and Ag-Chem Equipment Co. are a
different breed of success story. Both of these companies have been long-term
micro-cap investments in the Fund's portfolio that finally caught the attention
of Wall Street. They are well-run family enterprises with long histories of
superior returns and strong balance sheets. As consistent high quality, low cost
producers in their respective fields, both generated the kind of financial
results that investors like. As long-term investors, we were rewarded for our
patience.

MORE PATIENCE REQUIRED
 
     One happy by-product of a bull market is that most of your stocks go up.
There are always a few exceptions. Our laggards generally fall into two
categories: undervalued companies that got cheaper (caught the flu) and those in
intensive care (with pneumonia). Fortunately, over the last two quarters, we
have suffered from only one of the latter. The five WORST PERFORMERS, as
measured by dollar impact, were:
 
<TABLE>

<S>                                           <C>
Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.                 34%
Anacomp, Inc. Cum. Cv. Pfd                      72%
NCH Corporation                                 14%
Arnold Industries, Inc.                         16%
Flexsteel Industries, Inc.                      21%
</TABLE>
 
     The only position in which we are
doubtful of recovering our full investment is
Anacomp. Although we were aware of the risk in owning a high yielding senior
security of this once successful technology company, it was a mistake and we now
have little hope for full recovery in this manufacturer of micro-fiche
equipment. As for our other underachievers, with a little more patience, any one
of these could make next year's winners list.
 
NO LONGER SMALL, UNKNOWN OR UNDER-OWNED
 
     THERE HAVE BEEN SOME EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SMALL-CAP SECTOR,
BUT THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU MAY THINK.
 
     Small-caps are no longer 'small' when compared to industry definitions of a
decade ago. The upward bias (success) of the overall equity market has elevated
the capitalization of small-cap stocks dramatically over the last ten years. For
example, the weighted average market cap of the Russell 2000 index of small-cap
issues has risen from $140 million in June 1985 to $410 million as of June 30,
1995.
 
     Morningstar, the leading independent mutual fund evaluation service, has
devised a set of market capitalization parameters that places equity mutual
funds into one of three capitalization boxes: small, medium or large. Portfolios
with median market caps under $1 billion are considered small-cap. Although we
do not have exact numbers, we believe the weighted average market cap in many of
these funds is close to $1 billion, a more revealing picture of just how 'big'
small-cap has become.

                          TEN YEARS OF EXPLOSIVE GROWTH!

                                    [GRAPH]

     [Pictorial  chart showing  increase in number of small-cap funds and assets
under  management  from 1984 to 1995;  in 1995,  310 funds  with $50  billion in
assets.]

     Performance success and investor acceptance has translated into a
significant flow of funds into the small-cap sector. In the mutual fund arena,
there are now over 300 small-cap funds representing approximately $50 billion in
assets. By contrast, there were only 24 small-cap funds with assets totaling $4
billion at the end of 1984. This over ten-fold increase in the number of
small-cap funds and category assets has changed the playing field in a
significant way. It is interesting to note that the majority


                                       5
 
<PAGE>
of the funds have elected to focus their energies at the upper end of the
Morningstar capitalization range ($500 million - $1 billion) where there is
greater liquidity but, by definition, more competition. In addition, something
similar to what happened in the late '80s with the S&P 500 now appears to be
unfolding in the small-cap arena with the Russell 2000. Indexation is alive and
well in the sector.
 
     The growth in small company funds and assets has dramatically decreased the
number of unknown, inefficiently priced stocks at the upper end of the small-cap
market. We have taken two countermeasures for the benefit of our investors.
 
     In the zone where most small-cap funds traffic ($500 million - $1 billion
in market capitalization), we believe that a higher level of portfolio
concentration is appropriate. Higher concentration will manifest itself in the
form of larger position weightings and an increased use of premier companies.
This approach implies confidence in our non-quantitative and non-Wall Street
research abilities. We believe that we are uniquely equipped to accomplish this
task by virtue of our 20+ years of small-cap investment experience and our
sizeable research effort.
 
     A second area of opportunity is at the other end of the capitalization
range, the sector known as micro-cap. The micro-cap universe has the largest
number of companies in which to invest, but the smallest number of institutional
investors who do so. Currently, fewer than 10 mutual funds have a micro-cap
charter. Micro-cap companies are the antithesis of what most professional
small-cap investors are looking for - they are not well known, not well
researched and their securities are not easy to buy and sell. These are
precisely the conditions that breed undervalued securities. As an experienced
institutional investor in a sector dominated by individuals, we believe that we
have a particular advantage in micro-cap research and trading capabilities, key
components for success. We believe that micro-caps offer today the investment
opportunities that small-caps did 15 years ago. We will continue to increase
their weighting in the portfolio.

STAR GAZING
 
     In spite of the spectacular run-up by large-cap equities since the market
lows of last December, there are several indications that small-cap stocks may
soon resume a leadership role. June was the first month of small-cap
outperformance since February, with the Russell 2000 up 5.2% versus a 2.4%
return for the S&P 500. This performance momentum has continued into the first
part of the third quarter, a good omen for small-cap issues. Also, now that the
U.S. dollar has stopped declining against other major currencies, domestic
small-cap stocks are competing on a level playing field. This has historically
given small-cap stocks a performance edge.

<PAGE>
     Finally, one has to wonder if the current level of low volatility is
sustainable in light of the market's high returns. While we cannot explain this
phenomena, we do not view this as a permanent condition. Since the last 10%
market correction in 1990, the pay-off has been with investors who took the
highest risk. We believe that over the next three years risk management will
have a similar pay-off. WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO ACHIEVING ABOVE AVERAGE LONG-TERM
RETURNS WITH THIS LOW RISK APPROACH.
 
     Your continued confidence is appreciated.
 
     Yours faithfully,

     The total returns and risk measurements presented in this report should not
be  considered representative of  total return or  risk of an  investment in the
Fund today. They  are provided  only to give  an historical  perspective of  the

                          RISK AND VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
 
     To  focus solely on the return component  of the investment equation is the
equivalent of evaluating  one's time  (return) in  a road  race without  knowing
anything about the course (risk). For example, was the course hilly or flat, did
weather  hinder or  help performance, were  thousands participating  or merely a
handful? By  knowing the  answers to  these and  related matters,  you then  can
properly  evaluate  the quality  of the  performance.  The same  is true  in the
investment world. Although  PMF has had  one of the  lowest risk profiles  among
small-cap funds, that in and of itself is not particularly helpful. Somehow, one
must link the concepts of risk and return together because one without the other
may be incomplete.
 
     Fund  risk (volatility) versus relevant indices  and peers can be evaluated
by using the generally accepted measures of standard deviation and beta, as well
as the Morningstar Risk Ratio.

     STANDARD DEVIATION is a statistical  measure of fund volatility over  time.
The lower the standard deviation, the less volatile and more consistent a fund's
historical  monthly  returns.  BETA  measures  a  fund's  sensitivity  to market
movements. The beta of  the S&P 500  index, chosen to  represent the market,  is
1.00.  A fund with a 1.10  beta is expected to perform  10% better in up markets
and 10%  worse  in  down  markets.  MORNINGSTAR  RISK  RATIO  is  a  proprietary
measurement  of  a fund's  downside volatility  relative to  other funds  in its
investment category. The average score for the  3 years ended June 30, 1995  for
all  equity funds was  1.00. These measures  of risk are  historical, may change
monthly, and are not necessarily predictive of future volatility.

** In constructing our peer group, we used the following method. We isolated all
   small  company  mutual  funds as  identified  by Morningstar.  We  began this
   process by first screening  the domestic equity  mutual fund universe  (1,803
   funds) for funds with a small company investment style. Of the 312 funds with
   a  small company  investment style,  only 267  fell within  the small company
   style box,  which Morningstar  has categorized  as funds  with median  market
   capitalizations  below $1  billion. In  other words,  we only  included funds
   whose actual investment practice matched  their investment style. We  further
   narrowed  the universe  by identifying funds  which were in  existence at the
   last general market peak (6/30/90) so, at a minimum, at least one full market
   cycle of comparison would  be available. And finally,  of the 84 funds  which
   passed  these screens, only  24 funds (managed  by other investment advisers)
   had $100 million in  assets or greater  at the last  general market peak.  We
   believe  that these 24 funds constitute a relevant peer group. This segment's
   $14 billion in assets represents approximately 26% of all small-cap  category
   assets.

                             RISK ADJUSTED RETURNS
 
     High  relative returns delivered with low relative  risk is the goal of our
investment program.  Beating appropriate  indices or  competitive entities  with
less risk is the desired outcome.
 
     Two  of  the  techniques for  evaluating  'risk adjusted  returns'  are the
Risk/Return Profile and the Return Per  Unit of Risk calculation, a method  used
by  Fidelity Investments in their Mutual  Fund Guide. Both depict results within
the context of the risk taken to achieve those results.
 
                              RISK/RETURN PROFILE
 
     The Risk/Return Profile  measures risk  as standard deviation,  which is  a
statistical  measure of fund volatility. The greater the standard deviation, the
higher the  volatility and  the  higher the  expected  return. The  actual  risk
spectrum  is defined at one end by the  riskless 3 month T-bill and at the other
end by the Russell 2000 index of  small-cap stocks. Any point plotted along  the
risk/return  line would indicate a level of risk and return comparable to either
the T-bill or the small-cap  index. A result above  the line indicates a  better
risk-adjusted  return; the  highest goal is  to beat the  small-cap index return
with less risk.

     [Pictorial  chart showing  average  annual return of the Fund,  the Russell
2000 and 3-month T-bills for the 10-year period from 6/30/85 to 6/30/95]


                           Risk (Standard Deviation)


 OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, PMF HAS GENERATED A HIGHER AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURN THAN
     THE RUSSELL 2000 INDEX OF SMALL-CAP COMPANIES WITH SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER
                                  VOLATILITY.
 
     Average annualized standard deviations of monthly returns for PMF,  Russell
2000  and 3 month T-bills for the 10-year period ended 6/30/95 were 13.7%, 21.5%
& 1.0%, respectively.
 
     Average annual total returns for PMF, Russell 2000 and 3 month T-bills  for
the  period were 11.7%, 11.2% & 5.8%,  respectively. See the Financial Review on
page 7 for additional information.

                            RETURN PER UNIT OF RISK
 
     The Return Per Unit  of Risk calculation shows  the relationship between  a
fund's  historical return and the amount  of risk associated with the production
of that total return. It is calculated by dividing a fund's average annual total
return by its average  annualized standard deviation  over a designated  period.
PMF's  return per  unit of risk  calculations versus relevant  indices and peers
over the past three general market cycles are depicted below.

     [Line graph showing general market cycles, including peaks and troughs, for
the period from June 1979 through June 1995.]


     Market peaks and  troughs were derived  by taking the  daily S&P 500  cycle
highs  and lows, defined as a change of 10% or greater from the previous peak or
trough, and rounding  to the  nearest quarter. (Viz.  peaks: 11/26/80;  8/25/87;
7/16/90; troughs: 8/12/82; 12/4/87; 10/11/90.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
     Pennsylvania Mutual Fund (the 'Fund'), is a diversified open-end management
investment   company  established  as  a  business   trust  under  the  laws  of
Massachusetts.
 
a. Valuation of investments:
 
     Securities listed on an  exchange or on the  Nasdaq National Market  System
are  valued  on the  basis  of the  last  reported sale  prior  to the  time the
valuation is made or, if  no sale is reported for  such day, at their bid  price
for  exchange-listed securities and at the average of their bid and asked prices
for Nasdaq securities. Quotations are taken  from the market where the  security
is   primarily  traded.  Other  over-the-counter  securities  for  which  market
quotations are readily available are valued  at their bid price. Securities  for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value
under  procedures established and supervised by the Board of Trustees. Bonds and
other fixed income  securities may be  valued by reference  to other  securities
with  comparable  ratings,  interest  rates  and  maturities,  using established
independent pricing services.
 
b. Investment transactions and related investment income:
 
     Investment transactions are accounted  for on the  trade date and  dividend
income  is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.  Realized  gains  and losses  from  investment  transactions  and
unrealized  appreciation and depreciation  of investments are  determined on the
basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes.
 
c. Taxes:
 
     As a  qualified regulated  investment  company under  Subchapter M  of  the
Internal  Revenue Code, the  Fund is not  subject to income  taxes to the extent
that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year.
The schedule of  investments includes information  regarding income taxes  under
the caption 'Income Tax Information'.
 
d. Distributions:
 
     Dividend  and capital  gain distributions  are recorded  on the ex-dividend
date and paid annually in December. Dividend and capital gain distributions  are
determined  in  accordance with  income tax  regulations  which may  differ from
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.   Permanent  book  and  tax   basis
differences    relating   to   shareholder    distributions   will   result   in
reclassifications to paid-in capital  and may affect  net investment income  per
share.  Undistributed net investment  income may include  temporary book and tax
basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable  income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
 
e. Repurchase agreements:
 
     The  Fund enters into  repurchase agreements with  respect to its portfolio
securities solely  with  State Street  Bank  and Trust  Company  ('SSB&T'),  the
custodian  of its assets. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities
of no more  than seven  days. Securities  pledged as  collateral for  repurchase
agreements  are  held  by SSB&T  until  maturity of  the  repurchase agreements.
Repurchase agreements could  involve certain risks  in the event  of default  or
insolvency  of SSB&T, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability
of the Fund to dispose of the underlying securities.

voluntarily waived  by  Quest) for  the  six months  ended  June 30,  1995.  The

the Fund's average total net assets, .875% per annum of the next $50 million  of
such  net assets and .75%  per annum of additional  amounts of average total net
assets. Such fees are computed daily and are payable monthly to Quest.

                      POSTSCRIPT: WATCH US IN THE CORNERS
 
     There isn't much joy sitting in a summer traffic jam when you're headed for
the beach. One's mind tends to wander, contemplating some of the farfetched
symmetries of life; for example, how similar driving to a vacation home is to
investing. In both, the goal is clearly defined, and earlier achievement is
preferable to a long delay. Nevertheless, getting to the destination requires
both attention and patience. Once the traffic jam clears and more aggressive
drivers speed by on both sides, a sense of frustration sets in. We don't
appreciate it when we are going along at a good clip, only to see others rocket
by at very high speeds.
 
     But, in both investing and road racing, you have to finish in order to
finish first. There is usually challenging terrain with hills, straightaways and
curves. There are also obstacles, some foreseeable, others totally
unpredictable. Oil slicks and accidents are no more predictable than the exact
course of interest rates or inflation. At the end, victory belongs to those who
navigate the course with speed, precision and caution.
 
     Our own feeling of inadequacy on the highway is a reminder of our recent
underperformance in the dynamic stock market rally now underway. The well-tuned
small-cap vehicles in which we have invested are currently being passed by
momentum muscle cars and technology dragsters. As we barrel down one of the
longest straightaways in decades, more powerful equities have made our stock
cars look like little jalopies. Yet we believe we have not selected inferior
clunkers, but rather well-tuned vehicles with high return suspensions and strong
balance sheet brakes. Our diverse team can maneuver well in the economic turns,
ease by the interest rate slicks and avoid the overpriced accidents.
 
     Watch us in the corners. At some point the momentum muscle cars will run
out of fuel and pull over to wait for the tax loss tow trucks. The technology
dragsters, lacking brakes, will deploy their parachutes at the first turn or
become tech wrecks. The investment corners are where our vehicle performs at its
best. We think we see some of those yellow caution signs signalling curves in
the distance, so this race is far from over. We have competed in these races for
many years and we know our companies will finish well.
 
     Drive carefully.
