SHAREHOLDER SUMMARY
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
FOUNDED: 1992

WADDELL & REED FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Corporation issues six classes of capital shares; each class
represents ownership of a separate mutual 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.
F. Futures -- See Note 6 -- Futures.
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). The original Corporation consisted of five mutual
funds - Total Return Fund, Growth Fund, Limited-Term Bond Fund, Municipal Bond
Fund and International Growth Fund (formerly known as Global Income Fund.)
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 original 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 the
original mutual funds. These expenses are being amortized and are payable
evenly over 60 months following the date of the initial public offering.
Asset Strategy Fund was incorporated in Maryland on January 31, 1995 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 April 20, 1995
(the date of the initial public offering).
Asset Strategy Fund had prepaid registration fees in the amount of $23,659
which 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 12
months.
Asset Strategy Fund's organizational expenses in the amount of $759 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, International Growth Fund - 0.81% of net assets, Asset
Strategy Fund - 0.81% of net assets, Limited-Term Bond Fund - 0.56% of net
assets, and Municipal Bond Fund - 0.56% 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 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 September 30, 1995, the Distributor received $1,512,774
in 12b-1 payments. During this same period W&R paid sales commissions of
$1,421,157.
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 September 30,
1995, the Distributor received $269,296 in deferred sales charges.
The Corporation paid Directors' fees of $5,139.
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.

NOTE 6 -- Futures
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit, in
a segregated account, an amount of cash or U.S. Treasury Bills equal to a
varying specified percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as
the initial margin. Subsequent payments ("variation margins") are made or
received by the Fund each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value
of the underlying debt security or index. These changes in the variation
margins are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Upon the
closing of the contracts, the cumulative net change in the variation margin is
recorded as realized gain or loss.

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 six mutual funds
comprising Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation"), issuer of the
respective six classes of capital shares (Total Return Fund, Growth Fund,
International Growth Fund, Asset Strategy Fund, Limited-Term Bond Fund and
Municipal Bond Fund) at September 30, 1995, the results of its operations for
the six months then ended for the Total Return Fund, Growth Fund, International
Growth Fund, Limited-Term Bond Fund and Municipal Bond Fund and for the period
from April 20, 1995 to September 30, 1995 for the Asset Strategy Fund 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
September 30, 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.
