                          A MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

     We are pleased to provide our annual report for shareholders of the DEM
Equity Fund and DEM Index Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000.

     The DEM Equity Fund, which was launched on April 8, 1998, and the DEM Index
Fund, launched on March 23, 1999, are pioneers in the "Domestic Emerging
Markets" segment, which we believe offers exciting opportunities for investment.
The Domestic Emerging Markets market segment is comprised of companies ("DEM
Companies") that are controlled by African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic
Americans or women and that are located in the United States and its territories
(the "DEM profile").

     DEM Equity Fund, a non-diversified portfolio, seeks aggressive long-term
growth through capital appreciation, the Fund invests in companies that we
believe are positioned for growth within the Domestic Emerging Market segment.
The Fund considers both capital appreciation and income in the selection of
investments, but we place primary emphasis on capital appreciation.

     DEM Index Fund is an unmanaged index fund designed to track as closely as
possible the performance of the DEM Index. The DEM Index was developed and is
controlled by The Chapman Co., an investment banking affiliate of Chapman
Capital Management, Inc., the Fund's investment adviser. It is a market
capitalization weighted index of companies that meet the DEM Profile.

     We are pleased that the DEM Equity Fund total return (+42.91% for
Institutional Shares and +41.69% for Investor Shares) and the DEM Index Fund
total return (+25.12% for Institutional Shares and +24.47% for Investor Shares)
outperformed their benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+16.16%) during
this twelve month period, which was marked by high market volatility and
changing investor sentiment regarding large and small capitalization stocks and
technology and "old economy" stocks.

     This period included the two strongest months of 1999, which served to
boost the negative ten months-to-date of 2000 to a positive twelve-month gain in
the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The U.S. economy showed continued, but slowing,
economic growth and volatile market performance in 2000. In the course of the
full twelve months, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates four
times (November, February, March and May) in order to slow an economy that they
believed was growing too quickly to avoid the threat of inflation. The Federal
Funds rate is currently 6 1/2% and the Discount Rate is 6%. As the economy
slowed, in part due to the effects of increased interest rates, the Federal
Reserve chose not to raise rates at three succeeding meetings in June, August
and October. Strong economic growth in the Gross Domestic Product for the first
and second quarters of 2000 slowed to 2.7% in the third quarter. Employment
levels tightened to 3.9% in October along with rising hourly wage rates and
continued mild inflation. Earnings warnings from major companies in the
technology sector, renewed violence in the Middle East, and rising oil prices
added to the strong market volatility in both September and October. The S&P 500
and Nasdaq hit new lows for the year in mid-October, and the Dow Jones
Industrial Average dipped below 10000. A late October rally helped to regain
some of the losses, but all the major indices incurred a year-to-date loss. The
rally was driven by a strong earnings report by Microsoft and comments by Alan
Greenspan that the nation's productivity boom was continuing and oil prices were
not causing severe economic problems. Tax-driven sales of portfolio securities
by mutual funds also spurred buying, as professional investors began to
anticipate the bullish January effect of retirement saving inflows. Although
investors jumped in to buy downtrodden technology stocks, a true rally is
uncertain, as the Nasdaq composite remains 33% below its brief high above 5000
in March and over 17% below the beginning of the year.

     The 30-year Treasury Bond closed October at a yield of 5.79%, well below
its close at October 29, 1999 of 6.16%, a shortage of long-term issues and the
bond market's belief that the Federal Reserve has stopped raising rates for now.
The yield curve lost its attempt to return to a normal pattern where short-term
rates are lower than long-term rates. October ended with decidedly inverted
rates, with only 10-year bonds yielding below 30-year bonds.

     Small capitalization stocks, with double-digit returns, outperformed large
capitalization companies during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2000.
Specifically, the Russell 2000 Growth Index gained 16.16% for the twelve months
ended October 31, 2000 compared to the S&P 500 Index's gain of 6.05%.

DEM EQUITY FUND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

     The DEM Equity Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, its
benchmark, returning 42.91% for Institutional Shares and 41.69% for Investor
Shares, compared to a 16.16% return for the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the
twelve months ended October 31, 2000. We are pleased to report that the DEM
Equity Fund's total net assets of $35,233,532 on October 31, 2000 have grown by
102% over the last twelve months. This increase is attributable to both a 61%
net increase in additional investment in the Fund and to the strong stock
performance of the DEM companies in the Fund's investment portfolio.

     Since the Fund's inception in April 1998, a $10,000 initial investment in
the Fund's Investor Shares would have grown to $19,164 (including maximum sales
charge of 4.75%), and a $10,000 initial investment in the Fund's Institutional
Shares would have grown to $20,373. In comparison, the same initial investment
in the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the same period would have grown to
$11,747.

         The Fund contains stocks in seven of the Russell 2000 Growth Index's
twelve sectors. As shown in the following pie charts, we continue to weight the
Fund heaviest in the Technology, Producer Durables, and Consumer Discretionary &
Services sectors as of October 31, 2000. Within the Russell 2000 Growth Index,
these same sectors gave returns of 17.31%, 18.83%, and -13.92%, respectively,
for the twelve months ended October 31, 2000. The Russell 2000 Growth Index
showed positive returns in six of the seven sectors represented within the Fund
over the same period.

     Our top three performers over the last twelve months were technology
companies: Nvidia Corporation (+461.8%), i2 Technologies (+330.7%) and
Informatica Corporation (+161.6%). NVIDIA (NVDA) is a computer graphics firm
headquartered in Santa Clara, California, which designs, develops and markets
three dimensional graphics processors and related software to the mainstream
personal computer market. Nvidia's stock split 2 for 1 in June and continued to
climb steadily in price appreciation. i2 TECHNOLOGIES (ITWO), headquartered in
Dallas, Texas, provides e-business solutions, services, marketplaces,
fulfillment and product development services. i2's stock also split 2 for 1 in
February, and continued to enjoy price appreciation as the year progressed.
INFORMATICA CORPORATION (INFA), a Palo Alto, California company, develops and
markets enterprise software services and products. Informatica's stock split 2
for 1 in March, and closed October within 10% of their 52 week high.

     The Fund's lowest three performers over the twelve months were Primus
Telecommunications Group (-77.1%), Startec Global Communications (-71.9%), and
Seranova (-69.9%). PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP (PRTL), headquartered in
McLean, Virginia, is a global telecommunications company that offers long
distance, internet access and data, web hosting and other related services to
business and residential customers. Their reports of record breaking 1st, 2nd
and 3rd quarter revenue and gross margin growth were not enough to offset the
decline in the stock price as the company continued to use cash to build its
infrastructure. We remain confident in the company's prospects as it has
developed an extensive, global fiber network that can exploit the technology
driving the convergence of voice, data, Internet and video applications into
packets.

     STARTEC GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS (STGC), headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland,
provides integrated communications services including voice, data and Internet
access. The company has suffered quarterly losses this year as it transitioned
from a primarily circuit-switched wholesale business to focus upon the growth of
higher-margin Internet-protocol-based digital services for voice traffic.
Startec's 3rd quarter earnings are showed improved revenues and increasing
higher-margin business customers driven by this strategy. Startec has also
announced a merger agreement that will add to the company's commercial marketing
and customer base.

     SERANOVA (SERA), located in Edison, New Jersey, and a spin-off of the DEM
company Intelligroup, is a global provider of eBusiness consulting services
using an offshore-based global delivery model. Losses during the year were
driven by high spending on marketing, branding and building-out of the
organization to prepare for the spin-off from its parent company in July, 2000.
Although 3rd quarter earnings showed a one-cent loss, the revenue and margin
continued to show strong growth, along with positive earnings before interest,
taxes, and depreciation (EBITDA), compared to negative EBITDA in prior quarters.
Seranova has also reported strong new client, project and international revenues
growth. A merger expected to finalize during the 1st quarter 2001 will fill out
Seranova's offerings of IT services to offer complete end-to-end solutions.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

     A new addition to the portfolio and our largest purchase in the last twelve
months was Infospace, an Internet content company headquartered in Bellevue,
Washington. Infospace provides commerce, information and communication
infrastructure services to wireless devices, merchants and Web sites. Other new
additions to the portfolio this year included technology companies that have
felt the effect of the market's pullback from that sector. We closed out
numerous positions in other technology companies that we believed would no
longer remain competitive in their industry groups, balancing these losses
against realized portfolio gains. Aspect Development was acquired by a fellow
DEM company, i2 Technologies. i2 had grown to such a large portion of the
portfolio due to the acquisition of Aspect Development and its own strong market
performance that we sold a portion of our holdings to realize some gains and
move toward attaining the appropriate security weighting in the Fund's
investment portfolio.

DEM INDEX FUND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

         The DEM Index Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, its
benchmark, returning 25.12% for Institutional Shares and 24.47% for Investor
Shares, compared to a 16.16% return for the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the
twelve months ended October 31, 2000. Much like most major indices, the DEM
Index experienced substantial volatility over the 12-month period ended October
31, 2000. The DEM Index followed an almost uninterrupted upward path from the
end of October 1999 through the beginning of March 2000. When the technology
sector experienced a sudden reversal in March, the DEM Index dropped
precipitously over the next four to five weeks. In subsequent months, the DEM
Index rallied several times, but ended the twelve-month period substantially
unchanged from the level reached in mid-April but well below the highs reached
in early March. The DEM Index experienced a much stronger rise than other major
indices in the early part of the twelve-month period and still managed to hold a
significant portion of this gain over the year. Consequently, the DEM Index
still managed to outperform these indices by a considerable margin.

         The DEM Index Fund has tracked the performance of the DEM Index fairly
closely but, as is usually the case with index funds, the Fund's operating and
management expenses caused it to trail the DEM Index. In addition, with only
$284,000 in assets under management as of October 31, 2000, it is difficult to
match the Fund weightings with those in the DEM Index in a cost-effective
manner. Therefore, over the twelve-month period, Investor Share and
Institutional Share performance is 0.84% and 0.19% below that of the DEM Index.

         Since the Fund's inception in March 1999, a $10,000 initial investment
in the Fund's Investor Shares would have grown to $15,822 (including maximum
sales charge of 4.75%), and a $10,000 initial investment in the Fund's
Institutional Shares would have grown to $16,724. In comparison, the same
initial investment in the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the same period would
have grown to $13,229.

     The changes in the portfolio were driven by many of the same trends
occurring in the wider stock market. Technology stocks rode a wave of favorable
investor sentiment through March 2000 before valuations came back to earth and
the market in general and technology stocks in particular saw their prices
plummet. Continuing news of dot com failures have had a negative impact on the
shares of technology stocks for most of 2000. Some sectors held their values
better than others. Among the better performing sectors were semiconductors and
fiber optics. Among the top ten performers in the DEM Index Fund, six were in
semiconductors and related fields, two were in fiber optics, one provides B-to-B
e-commerce software and one is a biopharmaceutical company. FiberCore, Inc.
(FBCE) was our top performer, turning in a 1,175.5% gain over the twelve-month
period ended October 31, 2000. The continued growth of data traffic over the
Internet has caused an unsated demand for the installation of fiber optic
cabling worldwide. Expanded uses for semiconductors beyond computer related
products into everything from automobiles, cell phones and appliances to toys
and building controls is driving demand for semiconductors. This was reflected
in our semiconductor stocks, such as Merix Corp. (MERX), Oak Technology (OAKT),
Nvidia Corp. (NVDA), Catalyst Semiconductor (CATS), Silicon Storage Technology
(SSTI) and Pericom Semiconductor (PSEM). These stocks advanced between 547.9%
(MERX) to 228.7% (PSEM). i2 Technologies (ITWO), a leading developer of supply
chain software, is also increasingly viewed as an e-commerce play, a perception
that helped this stock climb 330.7% during the period. Rounding out the top ten
performing stocks in the Fund was Neopharm Inc (NEOL), a company that develops
anti-cancer drugs. Neopharm gained 163.6% over this twelve-month period.

     The worst performers in the portfolio were affected by a variety of
factors, some industry-wide and some company specific. Chromatics Color Sciences
(CCSI), our worst performer for the period, fell 83.3%. We believe that
investors may be avoiding the stock due to the company's lack of revenue growth.
Warnaco Group (WAC) stock fell 81.6% in the period due to a weak retail
environment, several large inventory write-offs and a dispute with Calvin Klein
over issues related to Warnaco's licenses for CK products. Open Market (OMKT)
was among the weaker competitors in the B-to-B e-commerce software market,
prompting a decline of 81.3% in its stock price. Rounding out the five worst
performers are Agency.com (ACOM) and Marimba (MRBA), which fell 79.4% and 79.2%,
respectively. Despite exhibiting strong revenue growth and positive cash flow,
Agency.com suffered from investor disaffection with new economy stocks,
particularly those with a ".com" in the name as more and more dot com businesses
failed. Marimba also suffered as investors lost their enthusiasm for a once hot
sector. Marimba provides Internet-based software management products under a
model that was once called push technology. Despite solid sales growth and
turning the corner to profitability in 2000, Marimba stock price has declined as
other companies that used push technology under different models of push
technology have struggled and investors turned sour on the entire sector.

     Overall, the number of stocks posting advances and those posting declines
was fairly even, with 48 advancing and 51 declining.

OUTLOOK

     The Federal Reserve's goal for the economy of a "soft landing", in which
economic growth is slowed without resulting inflation or increased unemployment,
is still uncertain. Although somewhat lower, consumer confidence remains at a
historically high level. Long term, the technology sector appears to remain
attractive, but from a "re-valued" position that brings price earnings ratios
and valuations to a lower, more rational level. We believe that the near-term
outlook remains favorable for equities based upon continued economic growth, low
unemployment and low inflation. We believe that our strategy of investing for
the long term, combined with a focus upon quality companies, helps to weather
the normal ups and downs of the market.

     We thank you for your confidence and the opportunity to continue EARNING
your business.

                                                     Sincerely,

                                                     /s/ NATHAN A. CHAPMAN, JR.
                                                     Nathan A. Chapman, Jr.

company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
The Company currently offers three series; DEM Index Fund , DEM Equity Fund, and

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds.

SECURITY VALUATION - Portfolio securities primarily traded on an exchange are
valued at the last quoted sales price for that day. Securities traded
over-the-counter are valued, if bid and asked quotations are available, at the
mean between the current bid and asked prices. If bid and asked quotations are
not available, then over-the-counter securities are valued through valuations
obtained from an independent pricing service or as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors. Investments in short-term securities having a maturity
of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - No provision for federal income taxes has been made since
each Fund intend to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders of the Fund from
net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions
from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid annually in December.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND OTHER - The Funds
account for security transactions on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification
method for both financial and income tax reporting purposes. Interest income and
expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Income and common expenses are
allocated on a daily basis to each class based on its respective net assets.
Class specific expenses are charged directly to each class. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of The Chapman Funds, Inc. - DEM
Equity Fund and DEM Index Fund

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, of DEM Equity Fund and DEM Index Fund (the
"Funds") as of October 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations for
the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2000, by correspondence with
the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Funds at October 31, 2000, the results of their operations for
the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and their financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
