NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1996


NOTE A - GENERAL

The Chapman Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated on November 22, 1988,
and operates as a series fund.  There are currently two series, the U.S.
Treasury Money Fund (the "Money Fund") and the Institutional Cash
Management Fund (the "Cash Management Fund").  The Fund is registered as a
diversified open-end management investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  During fiscal year 1991, the Cash
Management Fund liquidated its portfolio and distributed the proceeds to
its shareholders.  Since 1991, there has been no activity, including
subscriptions for purchase of shares, in the Cash Management Fund, however,
the Cash Management Fund is still authorized to sell shares to investors
meeting the qualifications of the Fund prospectus.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund uses the amortized cost method, which approximates market value,
to value portfolio securities which is permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the
1940 Act provided the Fund complies with certain conditions.  The amortized
cost valuation method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date
of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization from date of
purchase to date of maturity of any discount or premium.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund's custodian takes possession, through the Federal Book Entry
System, of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements.
The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price.  In
the event of default, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral
and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
