                             MONY SERIES FUND, INC.

Dear Shareholder,

     The economy finally began to show some signs of slower growth during the
second quarter. The combination of higher interest rates, particularly for
mortgages; rising energy costs, especially at the gas pump; and stock market
weakness; notably in popular technology names, all served to impact consumer
spending. Retail sales and auto sales were weaker, housing activity slowed and
permits declined. The economy is still strong and is a long way from recession,
but this slower growth is what the Federal Reserve ("Fed") had in mind when they
began to tighten.

     The signs of deceleration are just beginning, and it is too early to tell
whether the monetary activity thus far has been sufficient to bring about the
desired soft landing. If the slowdown is not real, and stronger growth resumes,
then more tightening will occur until the transition to a slower growth path is
achieved. This is not just happening in the U.S. Central banks around the world
have been pursuing a tighter monetary policy to try to ward off inflation. This
is good news for the long-term sustainability of the economic and stock market
expansions, but will likely cause some problems for both in the short run.

     The question of whether and when economic activity has slowed enough to
suit the Fed creates uncertainty for businesses and investors. Soft landings are
difficult to engineer and create the risk of a harder fall than desired. We
expect continued earnings growth in 2000, but at a lower level than in 1999.
These uncertainties: timing of further tightening, extent of deceleration and
impact on earnings create a difficult environment for stocks. Some of this has
already been discounted, as many individual stocks have already had twenty
percent plus declines. The popular averages have not yet experienced this degree
of weakness due to the rotational nature of the declines, and the continued
popularity of big cap growth stocks.

     The outlook therefore is not great, but neither is it all negative. Stocks
will be supported by still growing earnings and improved valuations for most
companies, but will be constrained by concern about the Fed and still rich
valuations for the biggest growth names. The economic slowdown, worldwide
central bank concern about inflation and the growing Federal budget surplus
provide strong support for the bond market and some help for stocks.

     All in all the best outcome, and the one that the Fed would like, would be
for most stocks to mark time for awhile, and for some of the most overvalued
names to sell off a bit. If the market surges upward, and investors move right
back into the same big cap technology names, the Fed would probably lean toward
a tighter policy.

                                            Sincerely,

                                            /s/ KENNETH M. LEVINE

                                            Chairman

                             KEYNOTE SERIES ACCOUNT

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:

     Keynote Series Account ("Keynote") is a separate investment account
established on December 16, 1987 by MONY Life Insurance Company ("MONY"), under
the laws of the State of New York.

     Keynote operates as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Keynote holds assets that are segregated from all
of MONY's other assets and, at present, is used as a funding vehicle for
retirement plans maintained by state educational organizations and certain other
organizations to purchase tax-deferred annuities for their employees ("Group
Plans") and as a funding vehicle for annuities purchased by individuals,
principally for retirement purposes ("Individual Plans"). MONY is the legal
owner of the assets in Keynote. This report contains information related to
Individual Plans only.

     There is one separate account which consists of three subaccounts, two of
which are available to Individual Plans. They all invest solely in the Equity
Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of the MONY Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund").
The Fund is registered under the 1940 Act as an open end, diversified,
management investment company and is affiliated with MONY.

     The financial statements and footnotes of the Portfolio are contained on
pages hereinafter of this report and should be read in conjunction with these
financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Investments:

     The investment in shares of the Portfolio is stated at value which is the
net asset value reported by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's net asset value is
based upon market or fair valuations of the securities held in the Portfolio.

  Investment Transactions and Investment Income:

     Investments in the Portfolio are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains
and losses include gains and losses on redemption of investments in the
Portfolio determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded
on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income includes distributions of investment
income and capital gains from the Portfolio. Dividend income received is
reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio.

  Taxes:

     The operations of Keynote form a part of, and are taxed with, the
operations of MONY. MONY does not expect, based upon current tax law, to incur
any income tax burden upon the earnings or realized capital gains attributed to
Keynote. Based upon this expectation, no charges are currently being deducted
from Keynote for federal income tax purposes.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Because Keynote purchases shares of the Portfolio, the net assets of
Keynote reflect the Portfolio's investment management fee charged by MONY Life
Insurance Company of America (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MONY), the investment
adviser, which provides investment advice and related services to the Portfolio.

     Daily charges against Keynote for mortality and expense risks assumed by
MONY are computed at an annual rate of 1.0% of the average daily net assets of
the IVA Tax Qualified and Non-tax Qualified subaccounts and no charges are made
against the IVA Variable Payouts subaccount.

                            EQUITY INCOME PORTFOLIO

     During the second quarter the new economy stocks (technology, telecom,
Internet) sold off sharply while many of the old economy stocks (cyclical,
energy, financial) rallied. Some of the valuation disparity between these two
broad groups narrowed, but when technology rallied in June the gap widened
again. As a result the two markets phenomenon that has been in effect for the
past several years continues. At June 30, 2000 most stocks are now selling at
price earnings ratios that are not out of line historically, however the largest
one hundred names are still selling at very high multiples. The popular averages
which are heavily influenced by these big market cap stocks also reflect the
valuation disparity.

     The major risk continues to lie in these high quality, well known growth
stocks and in the big averages. The new economy is for real, and these stocks
are great companies and have very attractive futures, but this is more than
reflected in their prices. This valuation disparity has created opportunity in
the rest of the market where many good companies are selling at more reasonable
prices. If there is another sell off in the growth sector the rest of the market
would not be immune, but the values and the fact that many of these stocks have
already suffered major declines should provide some cushion.

     The slower economy and the uncertainties regarding the Federal Reserve
("Fed") indicate a more defensive strategy. This means less in economy-sensitive
sectors such as basic materials and more in healthcare and consumer staples. If
the Fed is nearing the end of its tightening then financial stocks, both banks
and insurance should do well. Finally, the energy sector remains as a major
overweight, including integrated oils, oil service and drilling and natural gas.
Demand remains strong, earnings estimates are being increased and dividend
yields are still attractive.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

     The Equity Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is one of the portfolios
offered within the MONY Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open end,
diversified, management investment company. This registration does not imply any
supervision by the Securities and Exchange Commission over the Fund's
management. The Equity Income Portfolio is presented here since it is the only
portfolio available to the Individual Plans of the Keynote Series Account
("Keynote").

     The Fund is currently offered only to separate accounts of certain
insurance companies as an investment medium for both variable annuity contracts
and variable life insurance policies. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its
financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  A. Portfolio Valuations:

     Common stocks traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the
last sales price as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange or at the last
bid price for over-the-counter securities. Bonds are valued at the last
available price provided by an independent pricing service for securities traded
on a national securities exchange. Bonds that are listed on a national
securities exchange but are not traded and bonds that are regularly traded in
the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the last available bid and
asked prices provided by an independent pricing service.

     Short-term securities with 61 days or more to maturity at time of purchase
are valued at market value through the 61st day prior to maturity, based on
quotations obtained from market makers or other appropriate sources; thereafter,
any unrealized appreciation or depreciation existing on the 61st day is
amortized to par on a straight-line basis over the remaining number of days to
maturity. Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity at time of
purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. The amortized
cost of a security is determined by valuing it at original cost and thereafter
amortizing any discount or premium at a constant rate until maturity. All other
securities, when held by the Fund, including any restricted securities, are
valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors. As of June 30, 2000, there were no such securities.

  B. Federal Income Taxes:

     No provision for Federal income or excise taxes is required because the
Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and
distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders.

  C. Security Transactions and Investment Income:

     Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains
and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified
cost for both financial and tax purposes. Dividend income received and
distributions paid to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date, and
interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are
amortized daily for both financial and tax purposes.

  D. Expenses:

     Each portfolio bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf, such as
advisory fees and custodian fees, as well as a portion of the common expenses of
the Fund, which are generally allocated based on average net assets.

                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                           JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  E.  Dividends and Distributions:

     Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains will
normally be declared and reinvested annually in additional full and fractional
shares.

     Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax
regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

  F.  Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements:

     Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Under an investment advisory agreement between the Fund and MONY Life
Insurance Company of America ("Investment Adviser" or "MONY America"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The MONY Life Insurance Company ("MONY"), the
Investment Adviser provides investment advice and related services for each of
the Fund's portfolios, administers the overall day-to-day affairs of the Fund,
bears all expenses associated with organizing the Fund, the initial registration
of its securities, and the compensation of the directors and officers of the
Fund who are affiliates of the Investment Adviser.

     For these services, the Investment Adviser receives an investment advisory
fee. The investment advisory fee is payable monthly and is computed as a
percentage of the Portfolio's average daily net assets at an annual rate of
0.50% of the first $400,000,000 of the average daily net assets; 0.35% of the
next $400,000,000 of the average daily net assets; and 0.30% of the average
daily net assets in excess of $800,000,000.

     Enterprise Capital Management ("ECM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MONY,
provides administrative services to the Fund. For its services ECM receives an
administrative fee, payable monthly and computed at an annual rate equal to
0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

     Aggregate directors fees incurred for non-affiliated Directors' of the Fund
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $22,103.

4. CAPITAL STOCK

     The Portfolio currently has 150 million authorized shares of capital stock
with a par value of $0.01 per share.

5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000 purchases and sales proceeds of
investments, other than short-term investments were $2,017,653 and $3,724,007,
respectively.

6. TAX BASIS UNREALIZED GAIN (LOSS) OF INVESTMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

     At June 30, 2000, the cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes,
the aggregate gross unrealized gain for all securities for which there was an
excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized loss for all
securities for which there was an excess of tax cost over value were as follows:

<CAPTION>
              UNREALIZED   UNREALIZED   NET UNREALIZED
 TAX COST        GAIN         LOSS       GAIN (LOSS)
 --------     ----------   ----------   --------------
<S>           <C>          <C>          <C>
12,605,685     4,404,163    (631,823)      3,772,340
</TABLE>

     Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to
differing treatments for futures and options transactions, paydowns, market
discounts, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

     Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Any taxable
gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
