THE CHAPMAN FUNDS, INC.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY FUND
Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE A - GENERAL

The Chapman Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), is an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
The Company currently offers six series; The Chapman U.S. Treasury Money Fund,
The Chapman Institutional Cash Management Fund, DEM Equity Fund, DEM Index Fund,
DEM Multi-Manager Equity Fund, and DEM Multi-Manager Bond Fund. These financial
statements pertain to the U.S. Treasury Money Fund (the "Fund").

The Fund is a diversified series that seeks to earn as high a level of current
income as is consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of
liquidity. The Fund invests solely in short-term direct obligations of the U.S.
Government and repurchase agreements collateralized fully by direct obligations
of the U.S. Government.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation - The Fund uses the amortized cost method, which approximates
market value, to value portfolio securities pursuant to 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, however,
the Fund might be delayed in, or prevented from, selling the collateral for its
benefit.

Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends to shareholders of the Fund are
declared daily from net investment income, which consists of accrued interest
and earned discount (including both original issue and market discount), less
amortization of premium and the accrued expenses applicable to the dividend
period.

Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made since
the Fund intends to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and

to a Shareholder Services Agreement. For its services, CCM is compensated $18
per account subject to a monthly minimum of $1,500, excluding out-of-pocket
expenses.

CCM, has contractually agreed to limit annual expenses (excluding income, excise
and other taxes and extraordinary expenses) in excess of .53% of average daily
net assets effective March 17, 2000. However, CCM's obligation is limited to the
total of its advisory and administration fees. Prior to March 17, 2000, CCM
agreed to limit the Fund's expenses to .65% of average daily net assets on an
annual basis.

At April 30, 2000, approximately $11,000, was due from CCM pursuant to the above
agreements.

NOTE E - DIRECTORS' FEES AND RELATED PARTIES

defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, of the adviser. For the six
months ended April 30, 2000, these "affiliated persons" did not receive any
compensation from the Company.

plus certain expenses from the Company for each Board of Directors meeting they
