 Message from the Investment Manager
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report for The Monitor Funds. This
report covers the six month period ended June 30, 1996. It begins with a
discussion featuring the Funds' managers outlining recent activity in the
Funds' portfolios along with market performance information. We have presented
this information into a "question and answer" format for your convenience.
Included next are complete listings of the portfolio holdings of the Funds,
followed by the comprehensive financial statements and financial highlights.
 
After moving in tandem for most of the past five years, stock prices diverged
from bond prices this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose from 5117 at
the end of 1995 to 5654 at the end of June, 1996. Meanwhile, the yield on the
30 year Treasury bond rose from 5.90% to 6.90% in the same time frame. As a
result, inflation worries have re-emerged, with labor cost increases being the
latest surprise from recently released economic statistics. This chain of
events raises a fundamental question: is the economy accelerating or
decelerating? There is no doubt that "Fed-watching" will be a favorite past
time in the next several months and we may become more familiar with increased
volatility in both the stock and bond markets.
 
As always, we appreciate your confidence in The Monitor Funds. Please consider
adding to your fund investment by reinvesting your dividends, or make
additional share purchases through our Systematic Investment Plan ("SIPS").
The "SIPS" plan allows your Monitor Fund investment to be automatically
deducted from your Huntington checking account--so that you don't have to
remember to write a check, or place a telephone call. The Monitor Funds
Systematic Investment Plan is just another way that you can continue to build
an investment plan to suit your personal goals and needs--with a program which
is convenient and fits your schedule.
 
On behalf of The Monitor Funds and The Huntington Trust Company, I thank you
for your investment.

Q Can you comment on the interest rate environment during the first half of the
year, and how the Monitor Money Market Funds performed in this environment?
 
A Three month Treasury bills, a good proxy for the short term markets, started
and ended the first half of 1996 at about 5.10%. Between those times, however,
rates fluctuated between 4.90% and 5.30%. The Monitor Money Market Funds, with
their short term maturities, performed as they should have with their yields
mirroring the variability and fluctuations in short term rates.
 
Q What was the average weighted maturity of the securities in each fund at the
end of the period?
 
 
A The average weighted maturity of the securities in each of the Money Market
Funds, at the end of the second quarter was as follows:

    The Monitor U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund   45 days
    The Monitor Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund  54 days
</TABLE>
 
Q What is your outlook on interest activity in the near future?
 
 
A Stocks and other longer term investments have experienced a great deal of
volatility recently. This may translate into greater short term interest
fluctuations in the next few months.
 
Equity Funds
 
The Monitor Growth Fund
- -----------------------
 
Q What is your read on the stock market's performance during the early portion
of 1996 and how did The Monitor Growth Fund perform during this period?
 
A Stock prices have been buoyed by the continuing flow of money into equity
mutual funds. The pace and size of these flows reached epic proportions. Stock
prices, however, face a headwind in the form of higher interest rates. The
Fund performed reasonably well during this period, considering a significant
underweighting in the technology sector versus its peers and the S&P 500.

<PAGE>
 
 
Q Please identify a few of the Fund's top holdings at the end of the period,
along with a brief commentary on each.
 
 
A Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is the largest payroll and tax filing
processor in the United States, filing approximately 11 million payroll tax
returns per year. Earnings have grown 14% per year the last five years, and
are estimated to grow 16% in the future. Electronic Data Systems (EDS) was
recently spun off from General Motors. EDS provides corporate outsourcing,
data center management, networking and business consulting for a wide range of
industries and government. The likely inclusion of this company in the S&P 500
could provide a sharp upside move in the stock, as index funds rush to
purchase shares. Walgreen is the largest retail drug chain in the United
States. The company is currently undergoing a major remodeling effort of its
store base, moving away from strip mall locations and into larger, more
attractive free standing units with drive-thru pharmacies. While actively
signing up new health care plans, Walgreen's refuses to operate as a loss
leader. Its earnings are a model of consistency, growing at 13% historically
and 14% prospectively.
 
The Monitor Income Equity Fund
- ------------------------------
 
Q How did The Monitor Income Equity Fund perform during the first two quarters
of 1996?
 
 
A The Fund posted a total return of 7.3%* in the year's first half, in line
with its high-yield peer group, with its relative performance improving in the
second quarter after the stock market hit an interim peak. Equally important,
the Fund continued to earn and pay out income at a rate of 7.7 cents per
month, making it one of the highest yielding funds in its peer group.
 
Q What are your strategies for the third and fourth quarters of 1996?
 
 
A As of June 30, no change in strategy was contemplated. We will continue to
look for ways to maintain and increase the Fund's dividend stream. If capital
gains can be minimized, we may sell some of the Fund's lower yielding stocks
and replace them with higher yielding issues, while maintaining an overall
diversified portfolio that offers investors exposure to all major industry
sectors.
 
Income Funds: Monitor Fixed Income Securities Fund, Monitor Short/Intermediate
              Fixed Income Securities Fund, Monitor Ohio Tax-Free Fund
 
Q How did the Funds perform during the first half of 1996?
 
 
A The Monitor Fixed Income Securities Fund's total return was in line with its
benchmark indices and peer group averages, -2.04% (trust shares), -4.07%
(investment shares with load) versus -1.88% for the Lehman
Government/Corporate Bond Index and -1.40% for the Lipper Intermediate
Investment Grade Debt Fund Average. The total rate of return of the Fund was
negative due to the rapidly rising interest rates. The Monitor
Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Securities Fund** and the Monitor Ohio Tax-
Free Fund*** performed with their benchmark indices and peer group averages,
as well. Because of their short average maturity, these Funds had a modest
positive total rate of return despite the rapidly rising interest rates.

<PAGE>
 
 
 
Q What is your strategy going forward for the balance of the year?
 
 
A At June 30, 1996 the interest rate environment was unsettled, and no new
significant cash inflows were expected, we will likely maintain the present
maturity, credit quality and asset allocation of The Monitor Fixed Income
Securities Fund and The Monitor Ohio Tax-Free Fund. In the portfolio of the
Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, we plan to lengthen the average
maturity to a little past three years. This will be effected by selling and
consolidating all of the Treasury positions into a five year Treasury and
swapping short corporate bonds for the five year Treasury.
 
The Monitor Mortgage Securities Fund
- ------------------------------------
 
Q How did the Fund perform during the first half of 1996 and what changes were
made in the portfolio during this period?
 
A Total return of the Monitor Mortgage Securities trust shares for the six
months ending June 30, 1996, was 1.06%. This compares against the total return
of the Lehman Mortgage Index of 0.35% and the median Mortgage Securities Fund
for the same period of -0.80% as measured by Lipper Analytical Services.
Selected sales were made of inverse interest-only and inverse floater
securities during the first half of 1996, with proceeds reinvested into fixed
coupon, Agency guaranteed pass-throughs. Purchases emphasized a combination of
discount coupons of 7% or lower and premium coupons of 8 1/2% and higher. The
sales contributed to the Fund's reduced net asset value volatility during a
very volatile period in the bond market.
 
Q What is your strategy going forward for the balance of the year?
 
 
A As the first half of 1996 ends, we anticipate further reduction in holdings of
inverse floaters and reinvestment into fixed rate pass-through securities
offering an attractive combination of favorable yield premium against the
Treasury market and moderate volatility. As the second half of 1996 unfolds,
the portfolio has an effective duration close to that of the Lehman Mortgage
Index reflecting the management team's neutral posture against the Index. We
are anticipating a moderating rate of economic growth which should benefit the
fixed income market and, in particular, the mortgage securities market, which
continues to offer attractive value. We will view market weakness as an
opportunity to add to selected holdings at attractive prices when possible.

 Combined Notes to Financial Statements
JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
 
(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
 
30
<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. 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.
 
F. 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.
 
G. OTHER
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
 
H. 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
June 30, 1996.
 
 
                                                                              31

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
 
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest ($0.001 par value) of all the
Funds which may be divided into two or more classes of shares. Transactions in
Fund shares were as follows:

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--The Huntington Trust Company, N.A., the Funds'
investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual
investment advisory fee for each of the Funds at the following annual rates:
Money Market and Ohio Municipal Money Market: 0.30% of the first $500 million
of average daily net assets of each Fund, 0.25% of the next $500 million, and
0.20% of any amount over $1 billion; U.S. Treasury Money Market: 0.20% of the
Fund's average daily net assets; Growth and Income Equity: 0.60% of each Fund's
average daily net assets; and Ohio Tax-Free, Fixed Income, Mortgage Securities
and Short/Intermediate Fixed Income: 0.50% of each Fund's average daily net
assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee. The
Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole
discretion.
 
SUB-ADVISORY FEE--The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with
Piper Capital Management, Inc. (the "Sub-adviser"), pursuant to which the Sub-
adviser assists the Adviser in the purchase, sale and exchange of the portfolio
instruments for the Mortgage Securities. The Sub-adviser receives from the
Adviser an annual fee equal to 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
ADMINISTRATION FEE--Commencing January 11, 1996, SEI Financial Management
Corporation ("SFM") serves as administrator to each Fund under an
Administration Agreement. SFM is entitled to receive an annual fee of .11% of
each Fund's average net assets, paid monthly, for services performed under the
Administration Agreement. Effective January 11, 1996, SEI Financial Services
Company acts as the Fund's Distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLAN--Each Fund offering Investment Shares has adopted a
distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Growth,
Ohio Tax-Free, Fixed Income, Money Market, and Ohio Municipal Money Market
reimbursed SEI Financial Services Company ("SFS"), the Funds' principal
distributor, from the net assets of the respective Fund for fees SFS 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 SFS 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, SFS. Money Market, Ohio Municipal Money Market, and U.S.
Treasury Money Market incurred fees of 0.10%.
 
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES, PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING
AND CUSTODIAN FEES-- Commencing January 11, 1996, SEI Financial Management
Corporation serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds for
which it received a fee. The fee was based on the size, type and number of
accounts and transactions made by shareholders.
 
The Huntington Trust Company ("Huntington") provides certain accounting and
recordkeeping services with respect to the Funds' portfolios of investments,
with the exception of Mortgage Securities, for which American Data Services,
Inc. ("ADS") provides these services for an annual fee of $75,000. Huntington
receives an annual fee based on the level of each Fund's average daily net
assets, with the exception of the Mortgage Securities Fund.
 
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.
 
For the six month period ending June 30, 1996, certain Officers of the Trust
were Officers of SFM and SFS. Such Officers receive no compensation from the
Trust.

(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
Ratings Group, 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.
 
                                                                              35
