 Message from the Investment Manager
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report for The Monitor Funds for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997. The "Investment Review" section is the
prelude to this report, featuring the Funds' portfolio managers. In this
section, you will find a discussion of recent market activity as well as
investment performance, fund activity and strategy presented by the experienced
professionals who make up our investment management team. Following the
"Investment Review" are complete listings of the portfolio holdings of the
Funds, and the comprehensive financial statements and highlights.
 
In the third quarter of the year, we look for the pace of the GDP growth to
pick up. The fundamentals for consumer spending remain favorable, due in large
part to the following factors: job growth remains quite strong; income has
continued to expand; consumer confidence is at or near a record high; and
wealth has been boosted by strong financial markets. This state of affairs
should lead to a positive trend for the financial markets over the second half
of the year.
 
It is with great pride that I announce the opening of the Investment share
classes of Monitor Income Equity Fund, and Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed
Income Securities Fund. These two Monitor Funds, utilized by our trust
customers since their inception in 1989, were recently made available to all
retail customers. Monitor Income Equity is managed by Jim Buskirk, Chief
Investment Officer of our Trust division. The Fund invests in income producing
equities, emphasizing high current income and modest capital appreciation.
Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Securities Fund is managed by Steve
Geis, senior income manager of the Trust division and portfolio manager of
Monitor Fixed Income Securities Fund. In managing Monitor Short/Intermediate,
Steve strives to achieve current income by investing in fixed income securities
with a maximum maturity of individual issues of no more than five years. We
invite you to take a look at the expanded array of Monitor Funds. Please call
our Mutual Fund Services Center at 1-800-253-0412 for a prospectus. As with all
mutual funds, please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
 
On behalf of Monitor Funds and The Huntington National Bank, I thank you for
your investment. We are pleased that you have chosen us to help you manage your
financial goals.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW
 
MONEY MARKET FUNDS: MONITOR MONEY MARKET FUND, MONITOR U.S. TREASURY MONEY
MARKET FUND, MONITOR OHIO MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND (WILLIAM G. DOUGHTY, VICE
PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER, HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, TRUST DIVISION)
 
Inflation and long-term interest rates have been trending lower since the early
1980's. Budget and regulatory policy have played a role in producing this
result, but the Federal Reserve deserves most of the credit. The consistent
application of disciplined monetary policy is the main reason that inflation
and long-term interest rates are now so low. On the horizon, we look for the
Federal Reserve to maintain a steady economic policy over the next quarter.
 
We note that the short-term municipal market has been stable over the last
year, with one-year notes yielding between 3.75% and 4.00%, while floating rate
debt has ranged between 3.00% and 4.50% depending on seasonal periods. We would
look for this trend to continue over the balance of the year.
 
The economy in the second quarter grew at half the rate registered in the prior
four quarters, but the moderation did not necessarily signal that the economy
had settled into a sustainable pace. In many respects, the slowdown appeared to
be merely a pause. If economic growth resumes in the second half of the year,
interest rates could move higher again.
 
The average weighted maturity of the securities in each of the Money Market
Funds, at the end of the second quarter was as follows:

  Monitor Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund  51 days
  Monitor U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund   41 days
</TABLE>
 
EQUITY FUNDS: MONITOR INCOME EQUITY FUND (JAMES M. BUSKIRK, SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT AND CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, TRUST
DIVISION)
 
  During the first quarter of the year, Monitor Income Equity Fund demonstrated
the desired investment attribute of performing relatively well in a negative
stock market environment. During the most recent quarter, it again participated
in strong market advances, albeit at a slower rate of gain. The Fund's strong
dividend bias is the primary reason for this relatively less volatile
performance pattern.
 
  The industry rotation that accompanied the stock market's recent move to the
upside was in evidence in comparing the Funds's ten largest holdings at the end
of the first quarter with those at the end of the second quarter. Without
exception, the Fund's bank stocks fell in relative standing, with one such
former top-ten holding, National City, actually dropping out of the top 10.
Banks and most other financial stocks were relatively weak performers during
the second quarter, which should not be altogether unexpected given that
group's superior price action over the previous two years. Moving up the top 10
list, on the other hand, were such old-line blue chip stocks as General
Electric and Xerox, as well as such consumer stocks as Clorox, Bristol-Myers
Squibb and American Home Products. Investor focus during the quarter shifted in
favor of big, high quality companies with forecastable earnings growth.
 
  Dividend growth remains a key factor in the management of Monitor Income
Equity Fund, which was again benefitted by several more dividend increases
during the quarter. Worthington Industries (+8.35% dividend hike), DuPont
(+10.5%), Ford Motor (+9.1%), and Monsanto (+6.7%) were some of the more
notable companies, which contributed increasing income to the Fund's
shareholders. During the five-year period ended last December 31, the Fund's
annual dividend has steadily increased from 72 cents/share to $1.00. It is our
hope to keep the Fund on track to continue this benefit to our shareholders.
 
MONITOR GROWTH FUND (PHILIP H. FARRINGTON, VICE PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO
MANAGER; JAMES J. GIBBONEY, JR., VICE PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER,
HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, TRUST DIVISION)
 
  After the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in March, the
market did experience a correction--but only for an instant. Actually, the
market retreated about 6% after the announcement or just about 107 points from
the highs reached earlier in the year. Corporate profits and the strength of
the economy have surprised the doomsayers.
 
The Fund prospered by its fully invested position in the second quarter.
Pharmaceuticals, consumer nondurable and retail stocks were positive attributes
for the Fund. New positions installed during the quarter were Amp Inc. and
Cognizant Corp., while the Zero, Computer Sciences and Cintas positions were
increased.
 
Looking forward, we will continue to search out companies whose earnings and
dividend growth exceed the market. Because of the remarkable overvaluation of
the largest companies in the S&P 500, new commitments to Monitor Growth Fund
will likely be those in the mid-cap sector of the market. The Fund remains in a
fully invested position, so as to capture the capital appreciation potential of
the market which has served it so well this year.

INCOME FUNDS: MONITOR FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND; MONITOR SHORT/INTERMEDIATE
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND (STEPHEN M. GEIS, VICE PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO
MANAGER, HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, TRUST DIVISION)
 
Interest rates declined approximately 30 to 40 basis points during the second
quarter, boosting Monitor Fixed Income Securities Fund's net asset value, and
resulting in positive total rates of return for the quarter and year-to-date
periods.
 
The yield curve is not particularly steep in the maturity ranges that this Fund
typically utilizes, offering little inducement for extending maturities. Twelve
new corporate bonds were added to this portfolio during the second quarter.
Cash for these purchases came from sales of U.S. Treasuries. Our strategy for
Monitor Fixed Income Securities Fund is to continue adding higher yielding
corporate bonds to the portfolio.
 
Though less impacted by the movement of interest rates than longer maturity
funds, Monitor Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Securities Fund was also helped
by the 30 to 40 basis point decline in rates during the second quarter. Ten new
corporate bonds were purchased for the Fund. Despite a relatively flat yield
curve, we intend to lengthen the overall average maturity of the portfolio. We
would also expect to continue to purchase higher yielding corporate bonds.
 
MONITOR MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND (WORTH BRUNTJEN, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER; BRUCE SALVOG, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER,
PIPER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SUB-ADVISOR)
 
After a negative first quarter, the bond market staged a solid recovery in the
second quarter as yields dropped across the maturity spectrum. Economic growth
slowed from the heady first quarter pace, leading investors to anticipate a
reduced need for additional monetary restraint by the Federal Reserve.
 
Looking forward, our base economic case contemplates moderate economic growth
without inflationary imbalances. The usual signs of incipient inflation, such
as gold, commodity prices and the dollar, remain very well-behaved. Financial
market valuations, however, already reflect this stable, low inflation
environment. The chief risk to our outlook would be a resumption of above-trend
economic growth, which we believe would be met promptly by tighter monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve.
 
We are maintaining our duration at 110% of the benchmark, though additional
market strength could cause us to reexamine our tactical position. Longer term
valuation versus inflation remains attractive. Our emphasis in portfolio
structure after duration is on protecting the Monitor Mortgage Securities Fund
portfolio against an increase in fixed income market volatility. Proceeds from
sales and internally generated cash flows are being reinvested in noncallable
Treasury notes to further protect against prepayment vulnerability. We believe
that current valuations for many fixed income securities are grounded in the
expectation that volatility will remain low. Consequently, we anticipate that
we will add to the Treasury component of the Fund over the foreseeable future.
 
MONITOR OHIO TAX-FREE FUND (WILLIAM G. DOUGHTY, VICE PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO
MANAGER, HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, TRUST DIVISION)
 
With the equity market hovering near all-time highs, and yields on long
municipals uninspiring, individual investors might not participate aggressively
in the absence of an additional correction in the municipal market. Going
forward, changes in the trend for the treasury market will have some effect on
municipal yields. Municipal yields continue to be at the lows for the year,
and, given the supply and demand factors inherent in the market, we expect to
see prices remain more firm than Treasuries, even in a weaker market. For the
balance of the year, we will continue to look for value in the 10 to 15 year
maturity range for the Monitor Ohio Tax Free Fund portfolio, while seeking to
maintain an average life of six years.
 
                                                                               3

(a)Six months ended June 30, 1996 (unaudited).
(b) Distributions in excess of net investment income were the result of
    certain book and tax timing differences. These distributions did not
    represent a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
(c)Based on net asset value, which does not reflect the sales load or
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
(d)This voluntary expense decrease is reflected in both the expense and net
investment income ratios.
(e)Computed on an annualized basis.
(f) Per share information presented is based upon the monthly average number
    of shares outstanding due to large fluctuations in the number of shares
    outstanding during the period.

 Combined Notes to Financial Statements
JUNE 30, 1997
 
(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
 
The Funds 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
 
Securities of the money market funds (Money Market, Ohio Municipal Money Market
and U.S. Treasury Money Market) are valued using amortized cost, which
approximates market value. 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, it's the policy of 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 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.
 
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, 1996, $87,528 and $24,087 of undistributed
net investment income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments,
respectively, have been reclassified from paid-in-capital in the Mortgage
Securities Fund. In addition, $220,472 has been reclassified from accumulated
net realized gain (loss) on investments to undistributed net investment income.
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, 1996, 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>
 
E. DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS
 
Mortgage Securities may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which it sells
securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with
the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity)
but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Fund would benefit
to the extent of any difference between the price received for the securities
sold and the lower forward price for the future purchase plus any fee income
received. These amounts are included in interest income. The Fund maintains a
segregated account, the dollar value of which meets or exceeds its obligations
with respect to dollar rolls.
 
F. OTHER
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
 
G. 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 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, 1997.
 
(3) 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
investments 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 Fund Resources ("SFR")
serves as administrator to each Fund under an Administration Agreement. SFR 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. SFR
has entered into an agreement with The Huntington National Bank ("Huntington")
pursuant to which Huntington provides certain administrative services to the
Funds. Effective January 11, 1996, SEI Investment Distribution Co. ("SIDCO")
acts as the Fund's Distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement.
 
                                                                              31
<PAGE>
 
 
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 SIDCO, the Funds' principal distributor, from the net assets of the
respective Fund for fees SIDCO 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 provides that Mortgage Securities and U.S. Treasury Money
Market pay SIDCO 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, SIDCO. 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, SFR 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.
 
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") provided these
services. 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 ended June 30, 1997, certain Officers of the Trust
were Officers of SFR and SIDCO. Such Officers receive no compensation from the
Trust.

(5) 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. It is the Fund's policy that
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 instrumentality 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.
