 Message from the Investment Manager
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
I am pleased to present the December 31, 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders of
The Monitor Funds (the "Trust").
 
1995 was a remarkably favorable year for investors in equities and fixed
income securities. Buoyed by substantial improvements in corporate earnings,
as well as continued evidence that inflation is well in hand, domestic stock
and fixed income markets moved sharply higher. As a result, equity markets
surpassed previously obtained highs by a third and more as measured by many
indices. Fixed income markets experienced substantial recoveries from damage
that had been done in the preceding year.
 
As we look to 1996, it becomes evident that the economy has begun to
experience a considerable slowing in its rate of growth in recent months. The
Federal Reserve has already reduced the Fed Funds rate once as of this
writing. It is clear that they are anticipating the possibility of a slowdown
sufficient to produce at least a mild recession. It is also clear that both
automobile and housing industry activities have slowed. As these industries
are so substantial a portion of our economy, this trend is likely to have some
dampening effect on economic activity during the balance of the year. Caution
would be a reasonable byword for 1996.
 
To our benefit, however, we are still living in a relatively peaceful economic
environment, with inflation well under control, and a political scene
dominated by debates on balanced budgets and taxation reduction. This overall
climate has propelled the markets to the levels they currently enjoy.
 
We recommend that you take a moment to review the Management Discussion and
Analysis portion of this report. A graph comparison is included for each
fluctuating net asset value fund, which charts the path of your investment
compared with standard indices and/or averages. Also included is a portfolio
manager's discussion of the year's performance, market activity and outlook,
and fund strategy.
 
The complete Financial Statements for each of The Monitor Funds, including
their Portfolio of Investments, can be found on the following pages.
 
On behalf of The Monitor Funds, I welcome new shareholders. We continuously
strive to provide quality investment management services for our customers.

 The Monitor Funds
 
             ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  MONITOR GROWTH FUND
 
    At the beginning of 1995, growth stocks continued to distinguish
  themselves versus their cyclical counterparts. Technology stocks were big
  winners in the first quarter, and remained market leaders in the second
  quarter. Near the end of the year, the performance of these stocks was
  mixed, but overall, their gains for the year were impressive. We have
  under-weighted the technology group in recent months, believing that many
  stocks were overvalued and would under perform. During the year, we made
  substantial additions to existing holdings within the Fund including Crown
  Cork & Seal, Colgate Palmolive and Premier Industrial. New issues
  purchased in the Fund during the year include Sigma Aldrich, Wm. Wrigley,
  American Express and Home Depot.
 
    For the fiscal year ended 12/31/95, the Fund's Trust Shares total return
  amounted to 30.75%*. While this performance was very positive in absolute
  terms, it compares with 37.57% for the S&P 500. The shortfall is explained
  in part by the Fund's underweighting in the very strong technology and
  finance sectors due to overvaluation concerns. The Monitor Growth Fund's
  Investment performance was closer to the Lipper Growth Fund Index, which
  was up 31.48%.
 
    Our outlook for 1996 is for a more volatile stock market as the economy
  slows and corporate profits flatten and possibly decline modestly.
  Corporate revenues and profits are coming under pressure from a lack of
  unit growth and price increases, as well as reduced cost cutting
  opportunities. Equity prices continue to be supported, however, by
  declining interest rates, strong cash flows into stocks and bonds and
  reasonable valuations. Growth stocks, in particular, stand to benefit from
  lower interest rates and their relative immunity to a more difficult
  economic environment. The Fund remains underweighted in technology stocks
  but we expect to take advantage of opportunities to re-establish higher
  exposures to the better technology companies at attractive valuations
  during the course of the year. All in all, we are cautiously optimistic
  about the prospects for the stock market and believe the Fund is well
  positioned to benefit.

 The Monitor Funds
 
  THE MONITOR INCOME EQUITY FUND
 
    The Monitor Income Equity Fund participated meaningfully in the stock
  market's advance in the first quarter of the year, posting a total return
  of 7.05%, even though this portfolio was defensively positioned for the
  entire period with a 15% weighting in short maturity U.S. Treasury
  obligations. Diversification has served the Fund well throughout the year.
  Although the Fund's high yield bias dictated that we not invest heavily in
  some of the faster paced arenas such as technology, solid dividend
  increases by steady performers such as Worthington Industries, DuPont,
  Monsanto and Chemical Bank benefited the shareholder. In the third
  quarter, the Fund's financial sector did fairly well as a new round of
  bank mergers moved the entire group to higher valuation levels. In
  contrast, by the fourth quarter, the financial sector made little upside
  progress, but the Fund benefitted from strength in the cyclical stock
  sector, particularly in energy issues. Monthly dividend payments have
  remained steady, resulting in a full year dividend of 96 cents per share,
  well ahead of 1994's payout of 87 cents per share.
 
    For the fiscal year ending 12/31/95, the Monitor Income Equity Fund's
  total return was 29.26%*. This compares with 37.57% for the S&P 500. This
  Fund' high yield bias caused it to lag the S&P, due in large part to its
  limited exposure to the technology sector.
 
    Looking forward to 1996, our strategy will be to continue to provide
  shareholders with the same relative high yield and modest dividend growth
  that have characterized the Fund for the past four years. While attempting
  to keep portfolio turnover low, we plan to gradually swap out of some of
  our lower-yielding issues and replace such sales with out-of-favor
  securities that offer higher current yields. Beyond that, we plan to hold
  the majority of the current portfolio for their dividend increases.

 The Monitor Funds
 
  THE MONITOR OHIO TAX-FREE FUND
 
    For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the total return of the
  Lehman Brothers State General Obligation Index was 16.25%, while the total
  return of the Monitor Ohio Tax Free Fund was 11.35%* for Trust Shares and
  8.87%*+ for Investment Shares. However, the Lehman Brothers State General
  Obligation Index is not subject to the portfolio maturity, geographic, or
  credit quality restrictions of the Fund. The Fund must have an average
  portfolio maturity of four to seven years, and may not purchase any
  security with a maturity of greater than fifteen years. Furthermore, under
  normal market conditions at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be
  invested in Ohio tax-exempt securities rated in the top three categories
  or of comparable credit quality. Accordingly, we believe that the Lehman
  Brothers State Five Year General Obligation Index provides a better
  benchmark for the Fund. This index had a total return for the fiscal year
  ended December 31, 1995 of 11.62%.
 
    During the next year, we will look to sell securities maturing in the 10
  to 15 year range. This strategy will reduce the risk of a large cash
  inflow at one time and help to keep the average life of the Fund at about
  six years. Historically, the supply of new municipals is light in the
  first quarter of the year. But with interest rates at historic lows, we
  should see new issue volume increase as municipalities refund outstanding
  debt which carries a higher interest rate.

 The Monitor Funds
 
  THE MONITOR FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND
 
    As a result of the sharp drop in interest rates in 1995, the Fund
  produced the largest total rate of return in its six year history. Just as
  in 1991, when rates also declined dramatically, this performance should be
  viewed as a pleasant reward, but not necessarily as a repeatable event.
  After three straight years of rates moving over two full percentage points
  from peak to trough, we expect more stability in 1996. Less volatility
  would be more the historical norm for interest rate movements, would be a
  more positive environment for the overall economy, and is more in keeping
  with what bond investors should expect. Bonds, by their very nature, are
  intended to provide a steady source of income and a return of original
  principal at maturity. A total rate of return markedly higher or lower
  than the income or yield generated is generally transient.
 
    For the fiscal year ended 12/31/95, the Monitor Fixed Income Securities
  Fund Trust Shares had a total return of 17.95%* compared with 19.24% for
  the Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Bond Index and 16.62% for the
  Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Fund Average. In a flat or
  falling interest rate environment, we would expect the Fund to slightly
  underperform the Lehman Index, and more closely track the Lipper index.
  This is attributable to the longer maturities and lower credit quality of
  the Lehman index versus the constraints for the Fund.

  THE MONITOR MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND
 
    For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund's Trust Shares
  total return was 31.1%*, assuming that all distributions were reinvested.
  This compares against 16.1% for the Merrill Lynch 3-5 year Treasury Index
  and 16.23% for the Lipper Analytical Services U.S. Mortgage Funds Average.
  In the future, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage Index will be used as the
  Fund's market benchmark replacing the Merrill Lynch 3-5 year Treasury
  Index.
 
    The Fund's favorable performance in 1995 reflected holdings in
  securities with characteristics different from the Lehman Brothers
  Mortgage Index. These security types also contributed to the disappointing
  performance in 1994. Looking ahead, the Fund's investment manager expects
  to further reduce the Fund's volatility through sales of inverse interest-
  only and inverse floating mortgage-backed derivative securities with
  reinvestment of proceeds into issues with less volatile characteristics,
  generally fixed coupon mortgage pass-through securities issued by
  Government sponsored entities.

  THE MONITOR SHORT/INTERMEDIATE FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND
 
    The Fund recorded the second best total return in its six-year history
  in calendar year 1995. As in 1991, this excellent performance came as the
  result of a sharp decline in interest rates. We would expect rates to
  exhibit much less fluctuation in 1996. Under this scenario, bond investors
  could expect to earn the coupon or yield on their investments, but would
  not experience higher/(lower) total rates of return due to unrealized
  appreciation/(depreciation) of the market value of the bonds because of
  interest rates moving to lower/(higher) levels.
 
    With respect to the Fund's credit quality, average maturity, allocation
  between bond market sectors, and diversification, we will most likely
  maintain the past and present course. Credit quality has, and will
  continue to be our principal focus. The vast majority of the bonds in the
  portfolio are U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds rated single A or
  higher. Given our laddered distribution of maturities, and our
  unwillingness to engage in interest rate timing, the average maturity of
  the Fund deviates only modestly from a three year target. Allocation
  between bond market sectors refers to the relative attractiveness of
  Treasuries, corporates, and mortgage-backed securities to one another.
  Although corporate spreads seem low by historical measures, for this short
  maturity fund we think they represent good value. Diversification, of
  course, refers to the concentration of assets in one company or industry.
  It is a hallmark of investing and, although the SEC regulations would
  permit far more concentration, we choose to have much broader
  diversification.
 
    For the fiscal year ended 12/31/95, the Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed
  Income Securities Fund's total return was 12.81%*. This compares with
  10.84% for the Lipper Short Term Investment Grade Debt Fund Index, 12.83%
  for the Merrill Lynch 1-5 year Composite Treasury Index and 15.31% for the
  Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Index. In a flat or falling
  interest rate environment, we would expect the Fund to slightly
  underperform the Lehman Index, but more closely track the Merrill and
  Lipper indices. This is attributable to the longer maturities and lower
  credit quality of the Lehman index versus the constraints for the Fund.

  THE MONITOR SHORT/INTERMEDIATE FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND
 
   Growth of $10,000 Invested in The Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed Income
                         Securities Fund--Trust Shares
 
    The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in
  The Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Securities Fund--Trust Shares
  (the "Fund") from July 3, 1989 (start of performance) to December 31,
  1995, compared to the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Index
  ("LIGC")+ and the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Composite Treasury Index ("ML1-
  5YCT")+ and the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Government/Corporate Index (MLI-
  5YGC)+ and the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Debt Fund Average
  ("LSTIGDF")++.
 
 
 
 
 
  PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT
  RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE SO THAT WHEN SHARES ARE
  REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL
  FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT
  FEDERALLY INSURED.
 
  *The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
  distributions. The LIGC and the ML1-5YCT have been adjusted to reflect
  reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices.
 
  +The LIGC, ML1-5YCT and MLI-5YGC are not adjusted to reflect sales loads,
   expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission
   requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. These indices are
   unmanaged.
 
  ++The LSTIGDF represents the average of the total returns reported by all
  of the mutual funds that Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. has determined
  belong in that category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales loads.
  However, the total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that
  the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in a
  fund's performance.

 Combined Notes to Financial Statements
DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
(1) ORGANIZATION
 
The Monitor Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust consists of seven diversified and two non-diversified portfolios
(individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds"). The
following Funds comprise the Trust:
 
 The Monitor Money Market Fund ("Money Market") The Monitor Ohio Municipal
 Money Market Fund  ("Ohio Municipal Money Market")* The Monitor U.S.
 Treasury Money Market Fund  ("U.S. Treasury Money Market") The Monitor
 Growth Fund ("Growth") The Monitor Income Equity Fund ("Income Equity") The
 Monitor Ohio Tax-Free Fund ("Ohio Tax-Free")* The Monitor Fixed Income
 Securities Fund  ("Fixed Income") The Monitor Mortgage Securities Fund
  ("Mortgage Securities") The Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed Income
 Securities  Fund ("Short/Intermediate Fixed Income") *non-diversified
 portfolio
 
Money Market, Ohio Municipal Money Market, U.S. Treasury Money Market, Growth,
Ohio Tax-Free, Fixed Income, and Mortgage Securities each offer two classes of
shares ("Trust Shares" and "Investment Shares"). Investment Shares are
identical in all respects to Trust Shares, except that Investment Shares are
sold pursuant to distribution plans (the "Plans") adopted in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The objectives of the Funds can be found in the
current prospectus.
 
The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited
to the Fund and to the class in which shares are held.
 
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements.
The actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS
 
The Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") has determined that the best method
currently available for valuing portfolio securities of the money market funds
(Money Market, Ohio Municipal Money Market and U.S. Treasury Money Market) is
amortized cost. The Trust's use of the amortized cost method to value the money
market funds' portfolio securities is conditioned on their compliance with Rule
2a-7 under the Act.
 
Equity securities held by the Growth and Income Equity which are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchanges are valued at
the last sale price or, if there has been no sale on that day, at the mean
between bid and asked prices. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the
latest bid prices. Bonds and other fixed income securities held by all the
Funds (other than the Mortgage Securities) which may trade on a national
securities exchange and/or over the counter are valued at the last sale price
on that day, if available; otherwise, they are valued by an independent pricing
service that takes into consideration yield, stability, risk, credit quality,
coupon, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances
of security or trading market, and any other factors or market data the
independent pricing service deems relevant in determining valuations for normal
institutional size trading units of debt securities, and does not rely
exclusively on quoted prices.
 
U.S. Government obligations held by the Mortgage Securities are valued at the
mean between the over-the-counter bid and asked prices as furnished by an
independent pricing service. Portfolio securities for which market quotations
are not readily available are valued on the basis of quotations provided by
dealers in such securities.
 
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the
time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
market value. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at
net asset value.
 
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession,
to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have
segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral
under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been
established by the Trust to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each
repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at
least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement
transaction.
 
The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by
the Funds' adviser to be
creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or
established by the Trustees. Risks may arise from the potential inability of
counterparties to honor the
 
42
<PAGE>
 
terms of these agreements. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the
repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.
 
C. INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Bond premium and
discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended (the "Code"). For stripped mortgage backed securities,
Mortgage Securities uses the constant yield method for income recognition
purposes.
 
The amount shown in the financial statements of Mortgage Securities for net
investment income for the year ended December 31, 1995, differed from those
determined for tax purposes because of certain book and tax timing differences.
This resulted in distributions to shareholders in excess of net investment
income for book purposes. These distributions did not represent a return of
capital for federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to the tax nature of
distributions. As of December 31, 1995, $147,819 has been reclassified in the
Mortgage Securities Fund from distributions in excess of net investment income
to accumulated net realized loss. Net investment income, net realized loss, and
net assets were not affected by this change.
 
D. FEDERAL TAXES
 
It is the Funds' policy to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year
substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax
are necessary.
 
At December 31, 1995, Ohio Tax Free, Income Equity, Fixed Income, Mortgage
Securities, and Short/Intermediate Fixed Income, for federal tax purposes, had
capital loss carryforwards, which will reduce each Fund's taxable income
arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent
permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to
shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve each Fund of any
liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss
carryforwards will expire as listed below:

- ------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
 
Additionally, net capital losses of $210,092 attributable to security
transactions of the Mortgage Securities incurred after October 31, 1995, were
treated as arising on January 1, 1996, the first day of the Fund's taxable
year.
 
E. DEFERRED EXPENSES
 
The costs incurred by Mortgage Securities with respect to registration of its
shares in its first fiscal year, excluding the initial expense of registering
its shares, have been deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of five years from the Fund's commencement date.
 
F. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds
record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions
such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement
date.
 
G. DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS
 
Mortgage Securities enters into dollar roll transactions, with respect to
mortgage securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, in which the Fund sells
mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agrees to
accept substantially similar securities (same type, coupon and maturity) at a
later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions are short-term
financing arrangements which will not exceed twelve months. The Fund will use
the proceeds generated from the transactions to invest in short-term
investments which may enhance the Fund's current yield and total return.
 
H. OTHER
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
 
I. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
 
A Statement of Cash Flows is presented for Mortgage Securities due to its
participation in dollar roll transactions, which are considered to be financing
transactions. This statement presents information on all financial transactions
which have been settled through the receipt or disbursement of cash. The cash
amount shown in the Statement of Cash
Flows is the amount reported as cash in the Fund's Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and represents cash on hand in its custodian bank account and does
not include any short-term investments at December 31, 1995.

fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at
its sole discretion.

Effective January 11, 1996, SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM") serves
as administrator to each Fund under an Administration Agreement. SFM is

reimbursed Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the Funds' principal
distributor, from the net assets of the respective Fund for fees FSC paid which
relate to distribution and administrative services with regard to the
respective Fund's Investment Shares, if any. Mortgage Securities and U.S.
Treasury Money Market, have adopted a separate Plan, which provided that
Mortgage Securities and U.S. Treasury Money Market paid FSC to finance any
activity which is principally intended to result in the sale of their
Investment Shares subject to their Plan. The Plans provide that all of the
Funds may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.25% (except for Mortgage
Securities, which may incur up to 0.50%) of average daily net assets of each
Fund's Investment Shares, on an annual basis, to reimburse or compensate, as
the case may be, FSC. Money Market, Ohio Municipal Money Market, and U.S.
Treasury Money Market incurred fees of 0.10%.

transactions made by shareholders. Effective January 11, 1996, SEI Financial
Management Corporation serves as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for
the Funds.
 
The Huntington Trust Company ("Huntington") provides certain accounting and
recordkeeping services with respect to the Funds' portfolios of investments,

Inc. ("ADS") provides these services. Huntington and ADS receive an annual fee
based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets.
 
Huntington is the custodian of the Funds' investments and other assets for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's average
daily net assets.

(6) INVESTMENT CONCENTRATION
 
Ohio Tax-Free and Ohio Municipal Money Market invest a substantial portion of
their assets in obligations and notes issued by the State of Ohio, political
subdivisions thereof, and agencies, instrumentalities, authorities of districts
of both the State and its political subdivisions. Such issues must have been
rated A or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or by Standard & Poor's
Corporation, for Ohio Tax-Free, or A-2, P-2 for Ohio Municipal Money Market or,
if not rated, of equivalent quality as determined by the Funds' investment
adviser.
 
If there should be a default or other financial crisis relating to the State of
Ohio, an Ohio municipality or an agency or instrumentally of the State or the
municipality, the market value and marketability of the Ohio municipal bonds in
Ohio Municipal Money Market and Ohio Tax-Free's portfolios and the interest
income to the two Funds could be adversely affected.
 
 
                                                                              47

 Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Trustees of The Monitor Funds:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments (except for the credit ratings by
Moody's and S&P), and the related statements of operations, of cash flows (for
the Monitor Mortgage Securities Fund) and of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the nine funds constituting The Monitor Funds (the "Trust")
at December 31, 1995, and the results of each of their operations, cash flows,
the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of
securities at December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where
confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
