Dear Fellow Shareholders:                                      January 16, 1996

1995 was a banner year for the financial markets. Both the Dow Jones Industrial
Average and the S & P 500 Index recorded their best annual gains since 1958. The
NASDAQ Composite turned in its second-best performance in its twenty-four year
existence.

The market gains can be attributed to the Federal Reserve Board orchestrating a
rare "soft landing" that led to modest economic growth, declining interest
rates, and low inflation. This environment propelled corporate profitability to
record levels as companies benefited from improved operating rates, stable
pricing and stronger balance sheets.

In terms of sector performance last year, the best performing groups were
financial, technology and healthcare. The under-performing groups were basic
industry, retail, energy and transportation. In the last few months of the year,
the larger capitalization stocks significantly out performed the smaller
companies as investors shifted out of the hot technology and financial sectors
to the energy-related and drug groups to take advantage of rising oil prices and
a promising pipeline of new drugs.

MARKET OUTLOOK/INVESTMENT STRATEGY

We remain bullish on stocks, although they are unlikely to surpass the
spectacular returns of 1995. In our view, the economy is poised for modest
growth, low inflation and stable interest rates. The Federal Reserve policy is
expected to ease in 1996, with the bulk of the move to occur in the first part
of the year. This type of economic environment should be positive for the
financial markets. Two limiting factors for the stock market are a slowdown in
corporate earnings growth and/or consumer spending levels, which affects about
two-thirds of economic activity. A sharp drop in spending could kick off a
recession, but based on current economic conditions, this appears unlikely in
1996.

As for 1996 being a Presidential election year, history suggests a "no fear"
attitude. Not since 1960 has the stock market been down in an election year.
Most gains have been in the 10-15% range.

The technology sector has been undergoing a significant reappraisal over the
last few weeks. We believe this to be a normal market pullback after this
sector's huge advance. We do not expect the correction to be long lasting and
believe it to be a buying opportunity.

We favor sectors with above average revenue growth potential trading at below
average price-earnings multiples relative to their two year growth rates.
Favored groups would include financials, computer service companies,
telecommunications, food and healthcare. We also look for the small cap issues
to gain the momentum this sector lost in the fourth quarter.

We appreciate your support of the Monetta Family of Funds and look forward to a
profitable 1996.

Sincerely,

COMMENTARY:

Over the past year the performance of Monetta Fund surged with the overall stock
market advance. The Fund posted a 28% return, its second best annual return
since inception.

Through most of the year, the Fund benefited from its investments in Technology
and Healthcare sectors. The Fund's best performing technology holdings were
Ascend Communications, U.S. Robotics, Altera Corporation and Teradyne Inc. The
healthcare component of the Fund was dominated with those companies that would
benefit from a capitated medical environment. The best performing Fund
securities in this sector were Oxford Health Plans, Physician Sales & Services,
HBO & Co. and Phycor, Inc.

During the year the Fund was very active as securities were sold in accordance
with our sell discipline. Net realized gains totaled approximately $62 million,
which resulted in a three dollar short-term capital gain dividend paid in the
fourth quarter.

As we enter 1996 the economy continues to advance at a moderate pace, however we
are detecting some concerns over consumer spending power. This suggests a more
cautious approach to investing, emphasizing those sectors/companies that will
generate solid earning momentum and accelerating revenue growth. As such, the
Fund is positioned to concentrate on those companies generating strong earning
results such as: Glenayre Technologies, Inc., which manufactures
telecommunication equipment; American Oncology Resources, a leading physician
practice management company focused on oncology; and General Nutrition Company,
which operates a chain of health products stores.

The Fund's above average cash position provides a cushion in the event of a
short-term market sell-off and an opportunity to purchase superior growth
companies at a discount to their growth rates.

COMMENTARY:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 1995, the Monetta Mid-Cap Equity Fund
posted a 24.5% return. And while past performance is no guarantee of future
results, the Fund continues to do well on a long-term basis, generating an
annualized return, since inception (March 1993) of 21.2%, significantly
outperforming the major stock market indices.

Through much of the year, the Fund was underweighted in the top performing
Technology sector.  However, the Fund's weightings in the Industrial and
Financial sectors produced competitive investment returns last year.

The Fund's top performing securities last year were Discreet Logic, Inc.,
Cascade Communication, 3Com Corporation and Analog Devices.

The Fund's financial investments benefited from the declining interest rate
environment as gains were realized on the following issues Money Store,
Beneficial Corporation, and Mercury Finance Corporation.

In addition, the Fund benefited from its investments in a diverse group of
industries.  Some of the better performers were Harman International,
Kennametal, Inc. and Value Jet Airlines, Inc.

Looking ahead, the manager believes the Fund's current emphasis in Industrial,
Financial, and Consumer Related sectors should remain intact.  Any significant
weakness in the Technology or Healthcare areas would be considered buying
opportunities as the long-term attractiveness of these industries is appealing.

COMMENTARY:

Monetta Large-Cap Equity Fund was launched on September 1, 1995. From its
inception through December 31, 1995, the Fund posted a 5.7% return.

The Fund has benefited from its holdings in the Technology and Basic Industry
sectors. The Fund's best performing issues were Computer Associates, Amgen Inc.,
First Interstate Bank and Pfizer, Inc.

At year-end approximately 90% of the Fund was invested in established growth
companies. Technology continues to be the dominate theme for the Fund,
especially the semiconductor and telecommunication sectors.

At this point, it appears the economy is poised for modest growth. With
inflationary risk receding, the previous degree of restrictive Federal Reserve
monetary policy is no longer needed. This suggests a stable interest rate
environment which should continue to benefit the Financial and Industrial
sectors of the market.

                                                                        Page 5

COMMENTARY:

Monetta Balanced Fund was launched on September 1, 1995. Since inception through
year-end the Fund appreciated 6.2%.

At year-end approximately 64% of the Fund was invested in common stocks and 36%
in the fixed income markets.

This is a conservatively managed fund as the fixed income sector are invested
primarily in short-term Treasury Bills. The common stock portion of the Fund is
invested in solid growth stocks representing all market capitalization ranges.
Approximately half of the stock portfolio is invested in the larger
capitalization growth companies with the balance split between mid-cap 
and small-cap issues.

The Fund will continue to maintain an asset composition in line with its primary
investment objective of capital appreciation and income.

During 1996, the Fund will continue to seek growth companies with the potential
of generating upside earning surprises. The average maturity of the fixed income
portfolio is not expected to change materially, as long as interest rates remain
in a narrow yield range.

COMMENTARY:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 1995 the Monetta Intermediate Bond
Fund was up 14.8%, slightly below the 15.3% return of the Lehman
Government/Corporate Intermediate Bond Index.

The Fund was managed conservatively during the year as maturities were shortened
during market rallies and assets were reinvested in the U.S. Treasury market.
The average maturity of the Fund during the year was approximately four years.

At year-end over half of the Fund was invested in Treasury Notes and Government
Agency issues with a weighted maturity of 7.1 years. Corporate Bonds,
representing 31% of the Fund, generally outperformed the Treasury securities
with similar maturities as investors worries over a possible recession
diminished.

In the coming months, we do not anticipate any major changes in the Fund's asset
mix or average duration. Based on the assumption of moderate economic growth, we
anticipate a relatively stable interest rate environment during 1996.

COMMENTARY:

According to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., Monetta Government Money Market
Fund ranked second for 1995 in its category of 105 Government Money Market Funds
with a one year return of 5.9%.

Throughout most of the year we maintained a bullish outlook. This was due to 
economic growth, low inflation and declining interest rates. As a result, the 
Fund average maturity during the year was in excess of 70 days, capitalizing    
on declining interest rates.

As of December 31, 1995, the Fund's 7-day yield was 5.38% down from the third
quarter yield of 5.75%. Approximately 53% of the Fund's assets are invested
in U.S. Treasury securities, with the balance in government agencies.

We believe the Federal Reserve Board will be accommodative in 1996 and therefore
we expect a relatively stable interest rate environment next year.

                                                                        Page 8

                         Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Trustees and the Shareholders of
  Monetta Fund, Inc. and Monetta Trust:


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Monetta
Fund, Inc. and Monetta Trust (comprising, respectively, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund,
Large-Cap Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund and Government
Money Market Fund), collectively referred to as the "Funds", including the
schedules of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of
operations for the period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets
for each of the periods presented in the two-year period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented in the ten-year period
then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' 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, as of
December 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Monetta Fund, Inc. and each of the respective funds constituting the Monetta
Trust as of December 31, 1995, the results of their operations for the period
then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented in
the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods presented in the ten-year period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   Monetta Fund, Inc. ("Monetta Fund") is an open-end diversified management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The primary objective of Monetta Fund is capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities believed to have growth potential. The
Fund generally invests in companies with a market capitalization range of $50
million to $1 billion.

   Monetta Trust ("the Trust") is an open-end diversified management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
following funds are series of the Trust:

Mid-Cap Equity Fund. The primary objective of this fund is long-term capital
growth by investing in common stocks believed to have above average growth
potential. The Fund typically invests in companies within a market
capitalization range of $1 billion to $5 billion.

Large-Cap Equity Fund. The primary objective of this fund is to seek long-term
capital growth by investing in common stocks believed to have above average
growth potential. The Fund typically invests in companies with market
capitalization of greater than $5 billion.

Balanced Fund. The objective of this fund is to seek a favorable total rate of
return through capital appreciation and current income consistent with
preservation of capital, derived from investing in a portfolio of equity and
fixed income securities.

Intermediate Bond Fund. The objective of this fund is to seek high current
income consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in
marketable debt securities.

Government Money Market Fund. The primary objective of this fund is to seek
maximum current income consistent with safety of capital and maintenance of
liquidity. The Fund invests in U. S. Government securities maturing in thirteen
months or less from the date of purchase and repurchase agreements for U. S.
Government securities. U. S. Government securities include securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by its agencies or instrumentalities.

   Monetta Family of Funds is comprised of Monetta Fund, Inc. and each of the
Trust Series and are collectively referred to as the "Funds". The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the
preparation of their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles:

   (a) Securities Valuation

Investments are stated at market value based on the last reported sale price on
national securities exchanges, or the NASDAQ Market, on the last business day of
the period. Listed securities and securities traded on the over-the-counter
markets that did not trade on the last business day are valued at the mean
between the quoted bid and asked prices. Short-term securities, including all
securities held by the Government Money Market Fund, are stated at amortized
cost, which is substantially equivalent to market value.

                                                                       Page 29

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   (b) Federal Income Taxes

It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes is required.

The Funds intend to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which
allow them to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following
the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital
gains. At December 31, 1995, the Large-Cap Fund had an accumulated capital loss
carry forward for tax purposes of $1,591 which will expire on December 31, 2003.
Net realized losses of the funds may differ for financial statements and tax
purposes because of the deferral of post October 31 losses for tax purposes.

   (c) General

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Daily realized
gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the first-in, first-
out cost basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and
dividend income on the ex-dividend date.

   (d) Distributions of incomes and gains

Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds (except for the
Government Money Market Fund) on the ex-dividend date. The Government Money
Market Fund declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such dividends
daily. Due to inherent differences in the characterization of short-term capital
gains under generally accepted accounting principles and for federal income tax
purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income for book and federal
income tax purposes may differ. These differences are permanent in nature, and
may result in distributions in excess of book basis net investment income for
certain periods.

2. RELATED  PARTIES:

   Robert S. Bacarella is an officer and director of the Funds and also an
officer, director and majority shareholder of the investment adviser, Monetta
Financial Services, Inc. "Adviser". For twelve months ended December 31, 1995,
remuneration required to be paid to any director or trustee has been absorbed by
the Adviser.

   Each Fund pays an investment advisory fee to the Adviser, based on that
Fund's individual net assets, payable monthly at the annual rate of 1% for
Monetta Fund, Mid-Cap and Large-Cap Equity Funds; 0.65% for Balanced Fund; 0.60%
for Intermediate Bond Fund and 0.35% for the Government Money Market Fund. From
these fees the Adviser pays all the Fund's ordinary operating expenses other
than the advisory fee and charges of the Fund's custodian and transfer agent.
Investment advisory fees waived through December 31, 1995, for the Intermediate
Bond Fund were $17,132 of total fees of $19,834. Investment advisory fees waived
through December 31, 1995 for the Government Money Market Fund were $12,563.
Custodian and transfer agent charges of $6,111 for the period ending December
31, 1995 for the Government Money Market Fund were absorbed by the Adviser.
Additionally, brokerage commissions of $70,235 were paid by the Monetta Fund to

*Ratios and total return for the year of inception are calculated from the date
of inception to the end of the period.

**If certain investment advisory fees and charges of the Trust's custodian and
transfer agent had not been assumed by the investment advisor, the ratios of
expenses and net income to average net assets would be as follows:  for the
Intermediate Bond Fund, expenses would have been 0.75%, 0.88% and 0.75% for
1995, 1994 and 1993 respectively.  For the Government Money Market Fund,
expenses would have been 0.59%, 0.66% and 0.69%, for 1995, 1994 and 1993
respectively.  For the Intermediate Bond Fund, net investment income would have
been 5.46%, 5.34% and 3.66% for 1994 and 1993 respectively.  For the Government
Money Market Fund, the investment income would have been 5.17%, 3.39% and 1.66%
for 1995, 1994 and 1993 respectively.

The per share ratios are calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period.
