Dear Shareholders:
 
In early 1994, the Federal Reserve began what was to be the first of seven
interest rate increases between February 1994 and February 1995, with the two
most sizable increases of 75 and 50 basis points occurring in November 1994 and
February 1995, respectively. Yet, the bear market environment of 1994 did not
abate until late in the first quarter of 1995, when the Fed's interest rate
increases finally took hold and the economy began to slow. The economic
environment turned more favorable for notes and bonds in the second quarter of
1995, but was somewhat tempered by the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Finally in
July 1995 the Federal Reserve reduced rates 25 basis points, which marked a
turning point for monetary policy from one of restraint to one of
accommodation.
 
RUSHMORE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO invests in the highest quality commercial paper
81.70%, and U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements 18.30%. The Portfolio had an
average maturity of 17 days on August 31, 1995. For the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1995, net income averaged 4.92% of net assets. We look for short-
term rates to have a market decline for the next few months.
 
RUSHMORE U.S. GOVERNMENT INTERMEDIATE-TERM SECURITIES PORTFOLIO invests
primarily in the current ten-year Treasury note. The objective of the Portfolio
is to provide high current income, while maintaining the safety of principal.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, the Portfolio posted a total return
of 12.07%.
 
RUSHMORE U.S. GOVERNMENT LONG-TERM SECURITIES PORTFOLIO invests in 10 and 30
year U.S. Treasury securities and, like the Intermediate-Term Portfolio,
strives to earn the highest income possible while maintaining the safety of
principal. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, the Portfolio posted a
total return of 16.35%.
 
The Federal Reserve, pleased that the economy looks substantially healthier
than in July when it cut interest rates, will likely put further rate cuts on
hold until at least its next policy meeting in November 1995. The economy, now
operating close to full employment, can grow without an acceleration of
inflation. For the short-term, rates will stay around present levels. Going
forward, however, the situation for notes and bonds is extremely attractive
because of the progress against inflation. For the
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
balance of the calendar year, we look for the economy to accelerate and rates
to move lower, this all being done quite possibly without further rate cuts by
the Federal Reserve.
 
We will continue our conservative investment philosophy and, as always, thank
you for your continued investment in The Rushmore Fund, Inc.
 
Sincerely,
 

/s/ Daniel L. O'Connor                /s/ Richard J. Garvey

Daniel L. O'Connor                    Richard J. Garvey

                            THE RUSHMORE FUND, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                AUGUST 31, 1995
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Rushmore Fund, Inc. ("Fund") is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified
investment company. The Fund consists of four separate portfolios each with its
own investment objectives and policies. These financial statements report on
three of the four portfolios: Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Government
Intermediate-Term Securities Portfolio, and U.S. Government Long-Term
Securities Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies which the Fund follows.
 
    (a) Securities of the Money Market Portfolio are valued at amortized cost
        which approximates market value. Securities of the U.S. Government
        Intermediate-Term Securities Portfolio and U.S. Government Long-Term
        Securities Portfolio are valued on the basis of the average of quoted
        bid and ask prices when market quotations are available. If market
        quotations are not readily available, the Board of Directors will
        value the portfolios' securities in good faith.
 
    (b) Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the
        order to buy or sell is executed). Interest income is accrued on a
        daily basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions
        are computed on an identified cost basis.
 
    (c) Net investment income is computed, and dividends are declared daily,
        in the Money Market, U.S. Government Intermediate-Term Securities and
        U.S. Government Long-Term Securities Portfolios. Income dividends in
        these portfolios are paid monthly. Dividends are reinvested in
        additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash.
        Generally, short-term capital gains are distributed quarterly in the
        Money Market, U.S. Government Intermediate-Term Securities and U.S.
        Government Long-Term Securities Portfolios. Long-term capital gains,
        if any, are distributed annually.
 
    (d) The Fund complies with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
        applicable to regulated investment companies and distributes all net
        investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
        tax provision is required.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
 
Investment advisory and management services are provided by Money Management
Associates, ("Adviser"). Under an agreement with the Adviser, each portfolio of
the Fund pays a fee for such services at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average
daily net assets of the portfolio.
 
Rushmore Trust and Savings, FSB (Trust), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Adviser, provides transfer agency, dividend-disbursing and shareholder services
to the Fund. In addition, the Trust serves as custodian

of the Fund's assets and pays the operating expenses of the Fund. For these
services, the Trust receives an annual fee of 0.25% of the average net assets
of the Money Market Portfolio, 0.30% of the average net assets of the U.S.
Government Intermediate-Term Securities and U.S. Government Long-Term
Securities Portfolios.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
of The Rushmore Fund, Inc.:
 
We have audited the statements of net assets of the Money Market, U.S.
Government Intermediate-Term Securities, and U.S. Government Long-Term
Securities Portfolio (three of the Portfolios) of The Rushmore Fund, Inc. as of
August 31, 1995, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at August
31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Money Market,
U.S. Government Intermediate-Term Securities, and U.S. Government Long-Term
Securities Portfolios (three of the Portfolios) of The Rushmore Fund, Inc. at
August 31,1995, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
