PRESIDENT'S LETTER
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
MARCH 31, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
As President of your Corporation, I would like to take this opportunity to
share my thoughts on a subject that I believe is very important to all of us;
the need for tax incentives that will help Americans take personal
responsibility for their futures.
Voters all across America sent two clear messages in the elections held in
November 1994. They want their taxes reduced and they want their concern for
financial security addressed without adding new bureaucracies or government
programs. One of the methods to do this is to expand the availability of tax
incentives for individuals to invest in Individual Retirement Accounts. This
could be done in several ways such as:
restoring the universal availability of fully tax-deductible Individual
Retirement Accounts,
allowing non-working spouses to make a full contribution of $2,000 to an
Individual Retirement Account instead of only $250 as currently allowed,
eliminating the taxation on the distribution of earnings from Individual
Retirement Accounts.
All of us recognize that future generations will need to supplement social
security benefits by private savings in order to provide an adequate level of
retirement income. Expanding the benefits of IRA's provides tax incentives to
encourage savings which allows all individuals the opportunity to provide
financial security for themselves and their families. Encouraging savings
through tax incentives has additional indirect benefits. Americans' personal
savings rate has fallen from 8% in the 1960's to just 2% of disposable income
today. Expanding the benefits of IRA's will help reverse this trend, will
increase the amount of U.S. capital available for investment and should make the
U.S. less dependent on capital from foreign sources.
Changes to our current IRA laws, such as the ones I mentioned above, are
being discussed in Congress. I urge you to write to your Members of Congress
and to the President to tell them that you support expanded IRA legislation that
provides incentives and opportunities for all Americans to improve their
financial well being.
Finally, I appreciate your continued confidence in our products and
services.
Respectfully,
Keith A. Tucker
President

TOTAL RETURN FUND
MANAGER'S LETTER
MARCH 31, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
This report relates to the operation of the Total Return Fund for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The following discussion, graphs and tables
provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance during that
period.
The performance of the equity markets in the United States was
disappointing throughout most of 1994, turning positive during the last portion
of the Fund's fiscal year. Poor performance early in the fiscal year was caused
primarily by the Federal Reserve Bank's policy of raising interest rates. The
purpose of that policy was to slow economic growth, thereby alleviating
inflationary pressures that might accompany a strengthening economy.
Subsequently, the rate of inflation has remained low, the economy is now
expanding moderately and corporate profits are strong. The November 1994
elections and other political developments were also viewed as positive events,
signaling prospects for lower taxes and reductions in the size of government.
In an environment of low inflation and rising interest rates, our strategy
was essentially to maintain the structure of the Fund as existed at the
beginning of the year. We continued to emphasize companies that we perceived as
having the most potential for positive long-term change, primarily corporations
with efficient worldwide distribution systems and domestic companies with
international outlets for their goods and services. We increased our technology
holdings as the year unfolded, reflecting their improved worldwide competitive
position.
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the direction of the
Fund's performance remaining fairly consistent with that of the indexes charted
on the following page. Those indexes reflect the performance of securities that
generally represent the stock market (the S&P 500 Index) and the universe of
funds with similar investment objectives (the Lipper Growth & Income Fund
Universe Average). The Fund's performance, like equities in general, was
affected by rising interest rates more than any other factor during the past
fiscal year.
We anticipate that inflation will remain low and that the U.S. economy will
grow at a modest rate. We expect to continue to pursue the same strategies we
have recently employed, which we believe will produce solid returns in the long
term. The search for companies that have excellent prospects for superior
earnings and revenue growth will continue to be our mission.
Thank you very much for your continued support and confidence in our
organization.
Respectfully,
Russell E. Thompson
Manager, Total Return Fund

TOTAL RETURN FUND
PORTFOLIO STRATEGY:
Common stocks and OBJECTIVE: Current income while
securities convertible into seeking capital
common stocks. growth.
Cash Reserves STRATEGY: Invests primarily in common stocks, or
securities convertible into common
stocks, of companies that have a record
of paying regular dividends on common
stock and also have the potential for
capital appreciation. (May purchase
securities subject to repurchase
agreements. May invest in certain
options, futures and other hedging
techniques.)
The use of cash reserves (often invested
in money market securities) for
defensive purposes is a strategy that
may be utilized by the Total Return Fund
from time to time.
Moving into cash reserve positions at
times thought to be near a major stock
market peak may allow the Fund the
opportunity to capture profits and
attempt to cushion the impact of market
declines. The added flexibility
provided by our CASH RESERVES STRATEGY,
when deemed appropriate, may be used in
the management of the portfolio.

WADDELL & REED GROWTH FUND
MANAGER'S LETTER
MARCH 31, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
This report relates to the operation of the Growth Fund for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1995. The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you
with information regarding the Fund's performance during that period.
Stock market conditions during the past fiscal year were affected in
general by rising interest rates brought on by the credit tightening actions of
the Federal Reserve Bank. However, despite rising rates, a sharp advance in the
small cap sector of the market occurred beginning in June of 1994. The market
considered Congressional inaction on major health care reform and the November
election of a new party to power in Congress as positive developments. Also,
importantly, earnings for corporate America remained in a strong uptrend. The
primary beneficiaries of these developments were technology and health care
stocks.
The Fund's strategy was to identify well-financed companies experiencing
relatively high rates of growth. The Fund emphasized stocks of companies that
were achieving exceptional earnings, particularly companies in the technology
and health care industries. These companies included several that were making
their initial public offering of stock. The Fund continued to maintain its
holdings in certain companies that had grown larger in size than the typical
small-cap security but which still offered prospects for substantial growth.
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in better performance by
the Fund than the indexes charted on the following page. Those indexes reflect
the performance of securities that generally represent the small companies
sector of the stock market (the S&P 500 Index) and the universe of funds with
similar investment objectives (the Lipper Growth Fund Universe Average). The
Fund's performance exceeded that of the indexes because we selected stocks in
the industries that produced the better returns during the past fiscal year.
We anticipate that inflation will remain low and that the rate of growth in
the economy will continue to slow. We believe the long-term outlook for small
cap securities is extremely positive, so we expect to continue to pursue the
same strategies we have employed in the recent past in seeking to achieve the
Fund's objectives. As markets contend with current uncertainties in the
economy, short-term performance will depend largely upon the ability to select
those stocks that are most likely to appreciate. Our stock selection will focus
on companies that are likely to do well regardless of the macro-economic
backdrop.
Thank you very much for your continued support and confidence in our
organization.
Respectfully,
Mark G. Seferovich
Manager, Growth Fund

GROWTH FUND
PORTFOLIO STRATEGY:
Common stocks and OBJECTIVE: Capital appreciation.
securities convertible
into common stocks.
Cash Reserves STRATEGY: Invests primarily in common stocks, or
securities convertible into common
stocks, of companies that offer above-
average growth potential, including
relatively new or unseasoned companies.
(May purchase securities subject to
repurchase agreements. May invest in
certain options, futures and other
hedging techniques.)
The use of cash reserves (often invested
in money market securities) for
defensive purposes is a strategy that
may be utilized by the Growth Fund from
time to time.
Moving into cash reserve positions at
times thought to be near a major stock
market peak may allow the Fund the
opportunity to capture profits and
attempt to cushion the impact of market
declines. The added flexibility
provided by our CASH RESERVES STRATEGY,
when deemed appropriate, may be used in
the management of the portfolio.

WADDELL & REED LIMITED-TERM BOND FUND
MANAGER'S LETTER
MARCH 31, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
This report relates to the operation of the Limited-Term Bond Fund for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The following discussion, graphs and tables
provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance during that
period.
During the past fiscal year the Federal Reserve Bank raised interest rates
several times as it attempted to preempt perceived inflationary pressures and
achieve a slow, sustainable level of economic growth. The Federal Reserve
Bank's actions caused interest rates on intermediate-maturity instruments to
experience a sharp rise throughout most of 1994, peaking in November. Since
then, however, interest rates have fallen as it appears the Fed-induced rate
increases have achieved their intended effect on the economy. In response to
declining interest rates in the last part of the fiscal year, the market for
fixed income securities, including intermediate-maturity instruments, has staged
a modest rally.
To protect against the erosion in bond principal values caused by rising
interest rates in 1994, we reduced the average maturity of the Fund's bond
holdings to about 2.5 years and increased the level of cash on hand.. This
strategy allowed for some asset value protection while enabling maintenance of a
reasonable level of income.
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the direction of the
Fund's performance remaining fairly consistent with that of the indexes charted
on the following page. Those indexes generally represent the short-maturity
sector of the bond market (the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Short Investment
Grade Debt Index) and the universe of funds with similar investment objectives
(the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Fund Universe Average).
We expect the economy to continue growing slowly, and we believe the
Federal Reserve Bank will not raise interest rates as long as the economy
continues to grow at a slow pace. We believe that bond yields will remain at or
near historically high levels relative to rates of inflation. In view of the
prevailing market conditions, we intend to extend the average maturity of the
Fund's holdings by using our cash reserves to purchase bonds with relatively
longer maturities. When making new purchases, we plan to focus on higher-rated
securities that typically do relatively well in a period of slowing economic
activity.
Thank you very much for your continued support and confidence in our
organization.
Respectfully,
W. Patrick Sterner
Manager, Limited-Term Bond Fund

Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Indexes are
unmanaged.
(1) Performance data quoted represents past performance. Investment return
and principal value will fluctuate and an investor's shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown reflect
the payment of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), as
described in the Prospectus, upon total redemption assumed to have occurred at
the end of each period. The maximum CDSC is 3%, declining to zero at the end
of the third calendar year of investment. The CDSC's applied for the periods
shown are 3% (1 Year) and 1% (2+ Years).
(2) 9/21/92 (the initial public offering date) through 3/31/95.
(3) Because the Fund commenced operations on a date other than at the end of a
month, and partial month calculations of the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Mutual Fund Short Investment Grade Debt Index and the Lipper Short
Investment Grade Fund Universe Average (including income) are not available,
the investments in the Fund, Index and Lipper Universe were effected as of
September 30, 1992.
(4) The value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the ongoing
expenses of the Fund.
(5) The value of the investment in the Fund would have been $10,535 after the
deduction of the applicable 1% CDSC upon total redemption at March 31, 1995.

WADDELL & REED MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
MANAGER'S LETTER
MARCH 31, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
This report relates to the operation of the Municipal Bond Fund for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The following discussion, graphs and tables
provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance during that
period.
During the past fiscal year the Federal Reserve Bank increased interest
rates several times to preempt the inflationary tendencies that might result
from a strengthening economy. These increases in interest rates caused the bond
markets to fall throughout most of 1994. However, the November elections were
viewed very favorably by the financial markets, as prospects for tax cuts and
reductions in government regulation improved. These political developments,
combined with slowing growth in the economy, led to interest rate declines
during the last four months of the fiscal year.
The Fund continued its emphasis on long-term investment-grade municipal
bonds that provided the opportunity to maximize the Fund's yield to its
shareholders. We did not significantly alter the structure of the Fund's
portfolio in reaction to the rises in interest rates that occurred in 1994.
Rather, we maintained a long-range perspective, expecting that eventually
declines in interest rates would again work to the advantage of the Fund and its
shareholders.
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the direction of the
Fund's performance remaining fairly consistent with that of the indexes charted
on the following page. Those indexes reflect the performance of securities that
generally represent the municipal bond market (the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index) and the universe of funds with similar investment objectives (the
Lipper General Municipal Debt Fund Universe Average).
We expect the economy to continue growing at a steady albeit slower rate.
We also believe it is unlikely that the Federal Reserve will increase interest
rates as long as the pace of economic growth remains slow. Our focus will be on
continuing to seek the most attractive municipal bond opportunities available.
We believe that at current levels municipal bond yields are very attractive for
long-term investors.
Thank you for your continued support and confidence in our organization.
Respectfully
John M. Holliday
Manager, Municipal Bond Fund

WADDELL & REED GLOBAL INCOME FUND
MANAGER'S LETTER
MARCH 31, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
This report relates to the operation of the Global Income Fund for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The following discussion, graphs and tables
provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance during that
period.
During the past fiscal year, international currency markets experienced
considerable volatility stemming from significant fiscal problems facing many
foreign governments, as well as from rising interest rates in the United States
and other countries. Over the course of the fiscal year, the U.S. dollar
declined by 17% against the German mark and by 16% against the Japanese yen.
However, the U.S. dollar rose by over 50% relative to the Mexican peso, while
remaining essentially even against the French, British, Swedish and Canadian
currencies.
In view of the turmoil in the international currency markets, the Fund
maintained a balanced global position during the past fiscal year. About half
of the Fund's assets were allocated to short-term U.S. Treasury notes and money
market instruments. The Fund divided the remainder of its holdings between
lower-yielding instruments issued by core European countries, such as Germany,
France and Belgium, and high-yielding instruments issued by countries with
weaker currencies, such as Italy, Denmark and Sweden. During the latter part of
the fiscal year, the Fund increased its holdings in government securities issued
by Canada and Australia because they offered higher real rates of return and
provided strong potential for appreciation.
As charted on the following page, the strategies and techniques we applied
resulted in performance by the Fund this past fiscal year that fell below the
performance of the securities index that generally represents the short-maturity
sector of the international bond market (the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Short
World Multi-Market Index). This result was due primarily to the Fund's lack of
exposure to Japanese securities, which enhanced the performance of that index.
However, the Fund's performance exceeded that of the universe of funds with
similar investment objectives (the Lipper Short World Multi-Market Income Fund
Universe Average).
With the approval of the Fund's shareholders, as of April 20, 1995 the name
of the Fund is changed to Waddell & Reed International Growth Fund, and its
investment objective is changed to long-term appreciation, with realization of
income as a secondary goal. The Fund has selected a new portfolio manager, Mark
Yockey, to manage the Fund in accordance with its new objectives. Mr. Yockey
manages other international investment portfolios, including a large
international growth mutual fund. In the immediate future, the Fund will adjust
its holdings in pursuit of growth-oriented investment opportunities around the
world.
Thank you very much for your continued support and confidence in our
organization.
Respectfully,
James C. Cusser and John E. Sundeen, Jr.

WADDELL & REED FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
NOTE 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies
Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.
The Corporation issues five classes of capital shares; each class represents
ownership of a separate mutual fund. Each Fund except Global Income Fund is a
diversified fund. The assets belonging to each Fund are held separately by the
Custodian. The capital shares of each Fund represent a pro rata beneficial
interest in the principal, net income and realized and unrealized capital gains
or losses of its respective investments and other assets. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Corporation in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
A. Security valuation -- Each stock and convertible bond is valued at the
latest sale price thereof on the last business day of the fiscal period as
reported by the principal securities exchange on which the issue is traded
or, if no sale is reported for a stock, the average of the latest bid and
asked prices. Bonds, other than convertible bonds, are valued using
pricing systems provided by a major dealer in bonds or by an information
service. Convertible bonds are valued using this pricing system only on
days when there is no sale reported. Stocks which are traded over-the-
counter are priced using NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotations) which provides information on bid and asked or
closing prices quoted by major dealers in such stocks. Securities for
which quotations are not readily available are valued as determined in good
faith in accordance with procedures established by and under the general
supervision of the Corporation's Board of Directors. Short-term debt
securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Short-
term debt securities denominated in foreign currencies are valued at
amortized cost in that currency.
B. Security transactions and related investment income -- Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or
sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the
identified cost basis. Original issue discount (as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code), premiums on the purchase of bonds and post-1984 market
discount are amortized for both financial and tax reporting purposes over
the remaining lives of the bonds. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. See Note
4 -- Investment Securities Transactions.
C. Foreign currency translations -- All assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars daily. Purchases and
sales of investment securities and accruals of income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the
transaction. For assets and liabilities other than investments in
securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign
currency translation arise from changes in currency exchange rates. The
Corporation combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and
fluctuations in market value when computing net realized and unrealized
gain or loss from investments.
D. Federal income taxes -- It is the Corporation's policy to distribute all of
its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise
qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code.
In addition, the Corporation intends to pay distributions as required to
avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, provision has not been made
for Federal income taxes. See Note 5 -- Federal Income Tax Matters.
E. Dividends and distributions -- Dividends and distributions to shareholders
are recorded by each Fund on the record date. Net investment income
distributions and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are due to differing treatments
for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses, foreign
currency transactions, net operating losses and expiring capital loss
carryforwards. Permanent items identified in the period ended March 31,
1995 have been reclassified to additional paid-in capital as follows:
Undistributed Undistributed Additional
Net Investment Net Realized Paid-In
Income Gain Capital
-------------- ------------- ----------
Total Return Fund $33,894 $ --- $(33,894)
Global Income Fund --- 7,406 (7,406)
Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected
by these changes.
NOTE 2 -- Organization
The Corporation was incorporated in Maryland on January 29, 1992 and was
inactive (except for matters relating to its organization and registration as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and registration of
shares under the Securities Act of 1933) until September 21, 1992 (the date of
the initial public offering).
On April 24, 1992, Waddell & Reed, Inc. ("W&R"), the Corporation's
principal distributor and underwriter, purchased for investment 2,000 shares of
each class of the Corporation at their net asset value of $10.00 per share.
The Corporation's organizational expenses in the amount of $162,960 were
advanced to the Corporation by W&R and are an obligation to be paid by it.
These expenses are being amortized and are payable evenly over 60 months
following the date of the initial public offering.
NOTE 3 -- Investment Management And Payments To Affiliated Persons
Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company ("WRIMCO"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of W&R, serves as the Corporation's investment manager. WRIMCO
provides advice and supervises investments for which services it is paid a fee
computed on each Fund's net assets as of the close of business each day at the
following annual rates: Total Return Fund - 0.71% of net assets, Growth Fund -
0.81% of net assets, Limited-Term Bond Fund - 0.56% of net assets, Municipal
Bond Fund - 0.56% of net assets and Global Income Fund - 0.66% of net assets.
The fee is accrued and paid daily.
The Corporation has an Accounting Services Agreement with Waddell & Reed
Services Company ("WARSCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of W&R. Under the
agreement, WARSCO acts as the agent in providing accounting services and
assistance to the Corporation and pricing daily the value of shares of the
Corporation. For these services, each of the five Funds pays WARSCO a monthly
fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee shown in the following table.
Accounting Services Fee
Average
Net Asset Level Annual Fee
(all dollars in millions) Rate for Each Fund
------------------------ -------------------
From $ 0 to $ 10 $ 0
From $ 10 to $ 25 $ 10,000
From $ 25 to $ 50 $ 20,000
From $ 50 to $ 100 $ 30,000
From $ 100 to $ 200 $ 40,000
From $ 200 to $ 350 $ 50,000
From $ 350 to $ 550 $ 60,000
From $ 550 to $ 750 $ 70,000
From $ 750 to $1,000 $ 85,000
$1,000 and Over $100,000
The Corporation also pays WARSCO a per account charge for transfer agency
and dividend disbursement services of $1.0208 for each shareholder account which
was in existence at any time during the prior month plus $0.30 for each account
on which a dividend or distribution of cash or shares had a record date in that
month. The Corporation also reimburses W&R, WRIMCO, and WARSCO for certain out-
of-pocket costs.
The Corporation has adopted a 12b-1 plan under which W&R, principal
underwriter and sole distributor of the Corporation's shares, is compensated in
an amount calculated and payable daily up to 1% annually of each of the Fund's
average daily net assets. This fee consists of two elements: (i) up to 0.75%
may be paid to the Distributor (W&R) for distribution services and distribution
expenses including commissions paid by the Distributor to its sales
representatives and managers and (ii) up to 0.25% may be paid to reimburse the
Distributor for continuing payments made to the Distributor's representatives
and managers, its administrative costs in overseeing these payments, and the
expenses of WARSCO in providing certain personal services to shareholders.
During the period ended March 31, 1995, the Distributor received $1,940,308 in
12b-1 payments. During this same period W&R paid sales commissions of
$1,941,437.
A contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed against a shareholder's
redemption amount and paid to the Distributor, W&R. The purpose of the deferred
sales charge is to compensate the Distributor for the costs incurred by the
Distributor in connection with the sale of a Fund's shares. The amount of the
deferred sales charge will be the following percent of the total amount invested
during a calendar year to acquire the shares or the value of the shares
redeemed, whichever is less. Redemption at any time during the calendar year of
investment and the first full calendar year after the calendar year of
investment, 3%; the second full calendar year, 2%; the third full calendar year,
1%; and thereafter, 0%. All investments made during a calendar year shall be
deemed as a single investment during the calendar year for purposes of
calculating the deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge will not be
imposed on shares representing payment of dividends or distributions or on
amounts which represent an increase in the value of the shareholder's account
resulting from capital appreciation above the amount paid for shares purchased
during the deferred sales charge period. During the period ended March 31,
1995, the Distributor received $367,416 in deferred sales charges.
The Corporation paid Directors' fees of $6,394.
W&R is an indirect subsidiary of Torchmark Corporation, a holding company,
and United Investors Management Company, a holding company, and a direct
subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a holding company.

requires each Fund to measure and distribute annually, if necessary, ordinary
income for the calendar year and net capital gains realized during the twelve-
month period ended October 31. Code regulations permit a Fund to defer, into
its next fiscal year, net capital losses incurred from November 1 to the end of
its fiscal year ("post-October losses").

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the five mutual funds
comprising Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc.(the "Corporation"), issuer of the
respective five classes of capital shares (Total Return Fund, Growth Fund,
Limited-Term Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund and Global Income Fund) at March 31,
1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Corporation's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March
31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of
alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not
received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
