PRESIDENT'S LETTER

February 15, 1996
SECURITY

To Our Shareholders:
We have just completed one of the best years in history for the combined
equity and fixed income markets. The Standard and Poor's 500 Index rose an
amazing 37.58%, and the bellwether thirty-year Treasury bond declined almost two
full percentage points from 7.87% to 5.94% over the course of the year. These
gains are evidence of the rewards reaped by patient investors who stood pat and
even continued to invest during the distressing markets of 1994.*
REASONS BEHIND THE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN 1995
The Federal Reserve Board deserves much of the credit for the success of
the markets during the year. The board's chairman, Alan Greenspan, has done a
commendable job of assessing the condition of the nation's economy and deftly
applying the brakes in the form of restrictive monetary policy as needed to keep
inflation in check. The resulting slow, steady economic growth and stable prices
were an unbeatable combination. Bond market investors' fears of surging
inflation dissipated, and long-term bond rates fell to levels not seen in
several years.
Technology was the year's primary equity market theme, reflective of an
increased focus on productivity in our nation's factories and offices. We have
seen extraordinary technological gains attributable to rapid development of
computer applications in every field from word processing to assembly line
production. These gains have led to more rapid decision making processes and
substitutions for labor which have in turn reduced costs, contributing to
diminished inflation pressures.
CAN THE EUPHORIA CONTINUE?
At the close of 1995 the nation's politicians were locked in combat over an
attempt to agree on a balanced budget, bringing the federal government to an
abrupt halt and creating immeasurable noise in the financial markets. Investors
must keep their eyes focused on the big picture--the economic fundamentals which
continue to augur well for the long-term outlook. Inflation remains well under
control, the economy continues to move at a slow, sustainable rate of growth,
and the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee is likely to recognize that
additional cuts in short-term interest rates are justified.
We believe that earnings comparisons for the fourth quarter of 1995 will,
on balance, be sufficient to support current market valuations. Earnings are not
likely to be as robust as they were a year ago; however, they should be strong
enough to sustain the markets at their present levels. There will be some
earnings disappointments, as there always are, generating daily volatility in
individual stock prices which we have come to consider routine. As we move
through the first half of 1996, the focus will be on the extended slow growth of
the economy and the ability of corporations to continue productivity improvement
in order to generate earnings gains in that slow-growth climate.

THE LONGER TERM GLOBAL VIEW
In the United States we see an opportunity for the economy to benefit from
the national movement toward less government involvement in all aspects of our
lives. It is clearly possible that in the future the government will get a
smaller share of our total resources, with the greater part going toward
economic growth. The implications of this are enormously positive for financial
markets--lower interest rates due to a smaller government hand in our
pocketbook. Having a greater share of available resources dedicated to economic
growth bodes well for sustained rises in stock and bond prices.
Globally the same trends are at work. European countries are beginning to
recognize that their social welfare systems have grown beyond the capacity of
the people to support them. Growth of the free market system and the elimination
of communism as a viable political structure are strong pluses for global
economic growth. Reallocation of resources to the free market system improves
the lives of citizens and further enhances economic growth and positive
financial markets.
In the following pages our portfolio managers review the factors
influencing the performance of their respective funds in 1995. They also present
their management philosophies and outlooks for the year ahead. Our goal is to
provide you with positive investment results over time and the highest quality
service in the industry. We invite your questions and comments at any time.
Sincerely,

*Although we have just experienced a very rewarding year, investors should
remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and that
you may have a gain or a loss at redemption.

Dear Shareholder:
What a difference a year makes! In 1994 bonds took the worst beating since the
Depression years, but investors who kept long term goals in mind rode out the
storm. In the first five months of 1995 those patient investors had recouped all
of their 1994 losses, and enjoyed continuing gains throughout the balance of the
year. Both the taxable and tax-exempt sectors of the fixed income markets
performed extremely well as the thirty-year Treasury bond declined in yield
almost two full percentage points.
Perhaps the single most important factor behind the 1995 bond market rally was
investors' realization that inflation was indeed under control. The Federal
Reserve's Open Market Committee remained steadfast in their fight, holding short
term interest rates at or above 5-1/2% throughout the year. Long term bonds once
again became attractive, and investor demand drove their prices higher.
PERFORMANCE OF THE CORPORATE BOND SERIES
The Corporate Bond Series with its long term orientation capitalized on rising
bond prices, returning 18.2% to its shareholders in 1995.* As usual the bulk of
the portfolio was invested in corporate issues, with generally 5% to 10% of the
assets in government or federal agency securities for liquidity purposes. The
largest percentage of corporate bonds was rated in the single-A category,
because these issues tend to outperform higher rated bonds in rising markets.
The best performing sector of the corporate bond market was industrials,
represented in our portfolio by names such as Lockheed Corporation, Ralston
Purina Company, and Southwest Airlines Company. Industrials as a group were up
nearly 23% in 1995. Financial issues were excellent performers as well, rising
over 20% during the year. This sector of our portfolio includes banks such as
BankAmerica Corporation and Wachovia Corporation, finance companies like General
Motors Acceptance Corporation, and brokerage firms including Lehman Brothers
Holdings, Inc. and Bear Stearns.
The utility sector of the corporate bond market also did very well, increasing
over 22% in value. Our portfolio was underweighted in this area because of our
fear of the impact of changing regulatory restrictions. International issues
were strong performers in the index, but again were underrepresented in our
portfolio because of prospectus limitations which allowed us to invest outside
of the United States only in Canadian issues.

This chart references a change in Corporate Bond Series' Index. The Series' new
index is the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund, A Rated Corporate Index. We believe
the makeup of this index more closely resembles the composition of Corporate
Bond Series' portfolio.
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Corporate Bond
Series on December 31, 1985, and reflects deduction of the 4.75% sales load. On
December 31, 1995, the value of your investment in the Series' Class A shares
(with dividends reinvested) would have grown to $21,402. By comparison, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $27,045 based on the performance of the
Lehman Corporate Bond Index and to $27,825 based on the performance of the
Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund A Rated Corporate Index.
The performance illustrated above is based on the performance of Class A shares.
The performance of Class B shares will be greater or less than the performance
shown for Class A shares as a result of the different loads and fees associated
with an investment in Class B shares.
The performance data illustrated above reflects past performance which is not
predictive of future results.
The Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index includes all publicly issued,
fixed-rate, non-convertible investment grade dollar denominated, and
SEC-registered corporate debt. Investments cannot be made directly in an index.
The Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund A Rated Corporate Index includes all corporate
debt securities rated A or higher.

SECURITY February 15, 1996
FUNDS
The Corporate Bond Series in times of rising bond prices will frequently
maintain an average duration up to one year longer than its benchmark index. We
carefully monitor economic activity and other information that affects long-term
interest rates. When we believe it is appropriate, we adjust the duration and
quality to best position the portfolio for current market conditions.
PERFORMANCE OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SERIES
The U.S. Government Series had a particularly stellar year in 1995, returning
21.9% to its shareholders.* This Series, like the Corporate Bond Series,
capitalized on the benefits gained from long maturity bonds. The decision was
made early in the year to extend the maturities of many of the portfolio
holdings out beyond twenty years. Now at year's end, the timeliness of this
decision is apparent.

The bonds in this portfolio are all of the highest credit quality, as all are
issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.** At the close
of December about 28% of the assets were invested in GNMA mortgage pass-through
securities, on which the timely payment of principal and interest is guaranteed.
These issues were carefully selected to attempt to minimize prepayment risk.
Slightly over 22% of the holdings were U. S. Treasury bonds with maturities
ranging from thirteen to twenty-one years. The balance of the portfolio holdings
were issues of other federal agencies with maturities from twenty to thirty
years.
As with the Corporate Bond Series, the performance of the Government Series is
dependent on economic conditions and interest rate movements. We continue to
monitor reports carefully in order to adjust the holdings in the portfolio to
best serve the long-term investment objectives of its shareholders.
PERFORMANCE OF THE LIMITED MATURITY BOND SERIES
On January 17, 1995, the Limited Maturity Bond Series was introduced to fill a
gap that existed in our family of fixed income funds. With maturities generally
under ten years, it is an intermediate term fund with less volatility than
longer term funds, but with greater return potential under normal circumstances
than money market funds. Indeed, we noted at year end that the Limited Maturity
Bond Series' net asset value range from low to high was only half that of the
Corporate Bond Series. However, its total return of 13% was over 70% of the
longer fund's and well over twice that of the Security Cash Fund.*
This portfolio was managed in a "laddered" style; that is, the assets were
divided so that approximately 10% will mature in each of the next ten years.
This allows the portfolio manager to reinvest each year at then current interest
rates, which reduces volatility by spreading the maturity risk.
The assets of the Limited Maturity Bond Series were spread among U.S. Treasury
and government agency securities as well as investment grade and high yield
corporate bonds. The corporate

portion included issues in the financial, industrial, and utility sectors as
well as U. S. dollar-denominated Canadian bonds. The Treasury and agency
holdings made up nearly 32% of the portfolio, investment grade corporates 63%,
and high yield corporates the remaining 5%.
PERFORMANCE OF THE SECURITY TAX-EXEMPT FUND
Yields on municipal securities generally followed the thirty-year Treasury bond
yield's dramatic descent throughout the year. Tax-exempt issues underperformed
taxables to some extent, however, as politicians kept tax reform proposals
active in the news media. Despite lagging the taxable sector a bit, the Security
Tax-Exempt Fund returned 15.5% to its shareholders, the second-best total return
in its history.* All of the income distributions during the year are exempt from
Federal taxes; the portfolio contained no issues in 1995 that were subject to
the alternative minimum tax.

Among the strongest sectors in the tax-exempt market during the year were
electric revenue and water and sewer revenue issues. Our portfolio had
approximately 40% of its assets invested in these combined sectors throughout
the year. Utility-related tax- exempt bonds appeal to investors because they
"pay their own way" -- that is, the revenue streams from utility bill payments
provide the funds to repay the bondholders. Another sector that is similarly
defeased and that also performed well in 1995 is transportation, consisting
primarily of turnpike and toll road revenue bonds.
The duration of the Security Tax-Exempt Fund stayed quite close to that of its
benchmark index throughout the year, ending December at 7.79 years. Maturities
of individual issues in the portfolio ranged generally from ten to thirty years.
As with our taxable funds, the longer maturities in the fund tend to appreciate
more rapidly in climates of falling interest rates. The average quality of the
bonds ranged from A+ to AA most of the year.
We will continue to closely monitor tax reform proposals in the months ahead.
Many municipal bond analysts feel that we will probably have tax reform of some
sort, but that the likelihood of a pure flat tax is low. In the meantime,
uncertainty is keeping prices on tax-exempt bonds weaker than those on taxables,
and this creates attractive buying opportunities for municipal bond investors.
PERFORMANCE OF SECURITY CASH FUND
Money market funds in 1995 provided interest rates that were competitive with
those of many longer-maturity bonds. Security Cash Fund returned 5.0% for the
year on a high quality portfolio that invested only in top-tier commercial paper
and government agency securities.***
The main tool of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee in its fight against
inflation is short-term interest rates. Through-out the year they kept the
target rate on Federal Funds, the excess funds banks loan each other overnight,
between 5.50% and 5.75%. This kept interest rates on short-term investments used
in money market funds at very attractive levels, considering that inflation
remained around 3% throughout the year.
Security Cash Fund, like other money market funds, must invest its assets in
accordance with strict regulatory requirements. These regulations require that
we invest at least 95% of the Fund's assets in commercial paper that is rated in
the highest bracket by standard rating agencies. These include names such as
Coca Cola, General Electric, Wal-Mart, Winn Dixie Stores, Inc., and other major
corporations. Additionally we purchase short-term paper issued by agencies of
the Federal government, considered to be of the highest credit quality. As with
other money market funds, safety of principal is our utmost concern.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 1996
The fixed income team at Security Management Company is optimistic about bonds
in the months ahead. Although we don't expect a repeat of the outstanding
returns achieved in 1995, we believe there is still room for interest rates to
decline further. At this writing, the debate over a balanced Federal budget is
unresolved, and short term interest rates remain at historically high levels.
Once uncertainty over these two issues is removed, we believe bonds could stage
another rally taking long-term interest rates again below 6%. In our view it is
possible that rates could even go another 50 basis points lower to 5-1/2%.
Combining this upward price movement with a steady coupon interest stream, we
believe total returns for 1996 will once again reward patient long-term
investors.

$10,000 OVER THE LIFE OF THE SERIES
The Lehman Brothers Global Bond Index includes local currency-denominated
sovereign debt of 19 countries plus European Currency Units-denominated debt.
Investment cannot directly by made in an index.
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Global Aggressive
Bond Series on June 1, 1995 (date of inception), and reflects deduction of the
4.75% sales load. On December 31, 1995, the value of your investment in the
Series' Class A shares (with dividends reinvested) would have grown to $10,220.
By comparison, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $10,508 based on
the performance of the Lehman Brothers Global Bond Index.
The performance illustrated above is based on the performance of Class A shares.
The performance of Class B shares will be greater or less than the performance
shown for Class A shares as a result of the different loads and fees associated
with an investment in Class B shares.
The performance data illustrated above reflects past performance which is not
predictive of future results.

Dear Shareholder:
The Global Aggressive Bond Series enjoyed an excellent first seven months. The
Series boasts a 7.3% total return for its seven months of operation in 1995.*
The Series is off to a fast start in the new year and we are optimistic about
the prospects for all of 1996.
Investors in the Series haven't seen a decline in its income despite a drop in
U. S. interest rates. Yields overseas, particularly in certain transitional
economies, are much higher than those at home. The Series ended 1995 with a
standardized yield well in excess of 9%. We believe this level will be
maintained in the quarters ahead.
THE GLOBAL VIEW
Global bond investing often requires taking some less traveled roads. Over the
years, money managers have sold global and international bond funds as a way of
diversifying investment portfolios and reducing overall risk. They reasoned that
bond price movements in one country--the United States, for example--would move
independently of those in another country, such as Germany. Unfortunately, the
ongoing globalization of the world's economies, the ease with which capital
moves, and the flow of readily accessible financial information help to ensure
greater correlation of returns among the world's developed bond markets.
Therefore, we think investors need to expand their investment parameters and
seek out markets that offer the possibility of noncorrelated returns.
Fortunately, many of these markets offer high current income and profit
potential as well. Of course, many of these markets also present additional
risks.
PORTFOLIO POSITIONING IN 1995
The Global Aggressive Bond Series currently stresses bonds in certain
transitional markets, particularly in Eastern Europe and South Africa. We think
the U.S. bond market, and by extension most of the world's developed markets,
are fully priced. Meanwhile the economies of Eastern Europe and South Africa
need to attract capital and are offering yields and investor incentives to
assure that the capital keeps flowing.

MANAGERS' COMMENTARY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY February 15, 1996
FUNDS
We closed 1995 with major positions in Portugal, Poland, and South Africa.
Together they totaled 26% of the Series' assets. All three economies have strong
growth potential, relatively stable currencies, and governments committed to
fiscal restraint as well as pro-investor economic policies. Moreover, their bond
markets currently provide huge income advantages over those of the traditional
developed markets.
EMPHASIS ON DIVERSIFICATION
Aside from our concentration on transitional economies, the Series seeks to
strike a balance between developed market and LDC (less developed country) debt.
This diversification tends to mitigate volatility. Although the past volatility
of the Series is not necessarily indicative of future volatility, over the last
seven months the price volatility of the Series has been comparable to that of
ten-year U. S. Treasury notes.
We thank our investors for their continued loyalty and support.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1995
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security Income Fund, Security Tax-Exempt Fund and Security Cash Fund (the
Funds) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
diversified, open-end management investment companies. The shares of Security
Income Fund are currently issued in four Series, the Corporate Bond Series, the
U.S. Government Series, the Limited Maturity Bond Series and the Global
Aggressive Bond Series, with each Series, in effect, representing a separate
fund. The Income Fund is required to account for each series separately and to
allocate general expenses to each series based upon the net asset value of each
Series. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
A. SECURITY VALUATION -- Valuations of Income Fund's and Tax-Exempt Fund's
securities are supplied by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors.
Securities listed or traded on a national securities exchange are valued on the
basis of the last sales price. If there are no sales on a particular day, then
the securities are valued at the mean between the bid and the asked prices. If a
mean cannot be determined, then the securities for which market quotations are
available are valued on the basis of the current bid price. Securities for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued by a pricing service
considering securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon,
duration and rating. The Funds' officers, under the general supervision of the
Board of Directors, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided
by, the pricing service.
Cash Fund, by approval of the Board of Directors, utilizes the amortized
cost method for valuing portfolio securities, whereby all investments are valued
by reference to their acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium
or accretion of discount.
Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed
each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The
values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign
markets or the close of the New York Stock Exchange if earlier. All investments
quoted in foreign currency are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the
foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the close of business. The Global
Aggressive Bond Series' investments in foreign securities may involve risks not
present in domestic investments. Since foreign securities may be denominated in
a foreign currency and involve settlement and pay interest in foreign
currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S.
dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the
Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Global Aggressive Bond Series to
foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other
political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market
and/or credit risk of the investments.
B. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- The accounting records of the Funds are
maintained in U. S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in
foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and
certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds isolate that portion of results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising
from changes in the market prices of securities held.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio
securities, sales of foreign currencies, and the difference between asset and
liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar
value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange
gains or losses arise from changes in the value of portfolio securities and
other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from
changes in the exchange rates.
C. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS - Global Aggressive Bond
Series may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts in connection with
foreign currency risk from purchase or sale of securities denominated in foreign
currency. The Series may also enter into such contracts to manage changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio positions. These contracts are
marked to market daily, by recognizing the difference between the contract
exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized gains or losses.
Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled and are
reflected in the statement of operations. These contracts involve market risk in
excess of the amount reflected in the Balance Sheet. The face or contract amount
in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Global Aggressive Bond Series
has in that particular currency contract. Losses may arise due to changes in the
value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.
D. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains
and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis. Premium and discounts (except original issue
discounts) on debt securities are not amortized, except Security Tax-Exempt Fund
which amortizes premiums.
E. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the
year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their
ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences are
primarily due to the recharacterization of foreign currency gains and losses.
F. TAXES - The Funds complied with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distributed all of their
taxable net income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve them from all,
or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Therefore,
no provision for federal or state income tax is required.
G. EARNINGS CREDITS - Under the fee schedule with the custodian, Security
Income Fund, Security Tax-Exempt Fund and Security Cash Fund (the Funds) earn
credits based on overnight custody cash balances. These credits are utilized to
reduce related custodial expenses. The custodian expense disclosed in the
statement of operations does not reflect the reduction in expense from the
related earnings credits.
2. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fees are payable to Security Management Company (SMC) under
investment advisory contracts at an annual rate of 1/2 of 1% of the average net
assets of each fund, except for Global Aggressive Bond Series which the fee is
at an annual rate of 3/4 of 1% of the average net assets of the Series. The
investment advisory contract for Income Fund provides that the total annual

5. OTHER INFORMATION
Except for tax-exempt dividends, the income dividends paid by the Funds are
taxable as ordinary income on the shareholders' tax returns. None of the amount
taxable as ordinary income for Corporate Bond Series, U.S. Government Series,
Limited Maturity Bond Series, Global Aggressive Bond Series, Tax-Exempt Fund or
Cash Fund qualifies for the dividends received deduction available to corporate
shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
None of the exempt-interest dividends paid by Security Tax- Exempt Fund
have been determined to be attributable to interest from specified private
activity bonds. Thus, no portion is required to be reported as a tax preference
item on Form 4626 or 6251.
In some states, the portion of ordinary income dividends attributable to
the Funds' investment in direct obligations of the U.S. Government may not be
subject to state taxation. For the year ended December 31, 1995, interest on
U.S. Government obligations was 6%, 5%, 34% and 19% of Cash Fund, Corporate Bond
Series, U.S. Government Series and Limited Maturity Series gross investment
income, respectively. Since the qualifications for such exemption vary by state,
we suggest you consult your tax advisor for applicability.

AND SECURITY CASH FUND
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets and statements of net
assets of Security Income Fund (comprised of the Corporate Bond, U.S.
Government, Limited Maturity Bond and Global Aggressive Bond Series), Security
Tax-Exempt Fund and Security Cash Fund (the Funds) as of December 31, 1995, the
related statements of operations for the year then ended, statement of changes
in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended of

Government Series, Security Tax-Exempt Fund and Security Cash Fund; the related
statements of operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for the
period from January 17, 1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995
of Security Income Fund -- Limited Maturity Bond Series and the related
statements of operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for the
period from June 1, 1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995 of
Security Income Fund -- Global Aggressive Bond Series. These financial
statements and the 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the 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. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities
relating to uncompleted transactions, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Funds (including each of the Series of Security Income Fund) at
December 31, 1995, and the results of their operations, changes in their net
assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated above in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
