DOMINION INSIGHT GROWTH FUND
A SERIES OF DOMINION FUNDS, INC.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Our Shareholders:

We are pleased to report the excellent results of Dominion Insight Growth
Fund's (the "Fund") third full fiscal year.  Your participation is particularly
gratifying as recognition of the Fund's  performance through periods of growth
mixed with volatility.

For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund's annualized total return was
54.32%.  For the same period, the S&P 500 Index and the Wilshire 5000 Index
increased 26% and 26.218%, respectively.

Further, in addition to increased and positive publicity by national financial
publications this past year, the Fund achieved Morningstar's 5 star ranking for
growth Funds.

New to the Dominion Funds for the near future will be the addition of our Cash
Account Trust (CAT).  Zurich Kemper Investments (ZKI) will manage the CAT with
the investment objectives to provide competitive performance, ready access to
your funds, and preservation of capital.  ZKI currently manages more than $11
billion in money fund assets, and we are confident of the synergy that will
develop with the Fund on your behalf.

While we recognize the dynamic factors influencing the markets, we remain
optimistic for the balance of 1996 and this next fiscal year as we anticipate
continued growth in the market sectors in which the Fund invests.  This
translates to opportunity for our shareholders. Achieving it for you is our
goal.

                                        /s/ DOUGLAS W. POWELL

The performance data presented does not reflect the deduction of the sales load
and, if reflected, the load would reduce the performance quoted.  The
performance data presented represents past performance, and the investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization and Nature of Operations

         Dominion Insight Growth Fund (Fund) is a separate series of shares of
         common stock of Dominion Funds, Inc.  (Company). The Company was
         incorporated in the State of Texas in June of 1992. The Company is
         registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as a
         diversified, open-end management investment company. In addition, the
         Fund is subject to various investment restrictions as set forth in the
         Statement of Additional Information. The effective date of the Fund's
         Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 was October
         27, 1992. The primary investment objective of the Fund is capital
         appreciation. The Company may designate one or more series of common
         stock. The only series currently designated is the Fund. Each share
         represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets of the Fund
         with each other share in such series and no interest in any other
         series.

         Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         Valuation of Securities

         Securities are valued at the close of each business day. Securities
         traded on national securities exchanges or included in national market
         systems are valued at the last quoted sales price; other securities
         traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which
         no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid
         price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
         available are valued at fair value according to methods selected in
         good faith by the board of directors.

         Investment Transactions and Investment Income

         Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are
         purchased or sold. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend
         date and interest income is accrued daily. Realized security gains and
         losses are determined on an identified cost basis.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         Cash

         Cash is held in a credit interest account at May Financial
         Corporation, a member of the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., bearing
         interest at a variable rate. At June 30, 1996, the interest rate was
         4.50%

         Organization Costs

         Organization costs have been capitalized and are being amortized on a
         straight-line basis over a period of five years. If any of the initial
         shares are redeemed before all the organization costs have been
         amortized, the proceeds will be reduced by the redeemed share's
         prorata share of the then-unamortized organization costs, in the same
         proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the total number
         of initial shares outstanding.

         Income Taxes

         The Fund's policy is to comply with all sections of the Internal
         Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
         distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders; therefore, no
         provision for income or excise taxes is required.

         Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and the cost
         of investments in securities may differ for financial statement and
         tax purposes. The character of distributions from net investment
         income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate
         characterization for federal income tax purposes. At June 30, 1996,
         there were no material differences. Also, due to the timing of
         dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are
         distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains
         were recorded by the Fund.

         Distributions to Shareholders

         Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

         On November 30, 1995, a distribution of $1.54 aggregating $1,003,817
         was declared from net realized gains from investment transactions. The
         dividend was payable on December 1, 1995 to shareholders of record on
         November 29, 1995.

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

         As of June 30, 1996, there were 1,000,000,000 shares of $.001 par
         value capital stock authorized of which 200,000,000 shares are

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

         The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement)
         with Insight Capital Management, Inc.  (Advisor) to act as its
         investment advisor. The Advisor also serves as investment advisor to
         certain private accounts. The Advisor's only previous experience in
         advising a mutual fund is advising the Fund. The Advisor provides the
         Fund with investment advice and recommendations consistent with the
         Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions, and
         supervises the purchase and sale of investment transactions on behalf
         of the Fund. For such services, the Advisor receives an annual fee of
         1.0% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed daily and paid
         on a monthly basis.
         
         The Fund has an Administration Agreement with Dominion Institutional
         Services Corporation (Administrator).  Pursuant to the Administration
         Agreement, and subject to the authority of the board of directors of
         the Fund, the Administrator is responsible for the administration of
         the Fund and overall management of the Fund's business affairs. The
         Administrator provides all services required to carry on the Fund's
         general administrative and corporate affairs. These services include
         furnishing all executive and managerial personnel, office space and
         equipment, and providing federal and state regulatory compliance. For
         its services, the Administrator receives an annual fee of 1.25% of
         the Fund's average daily net assets, computed daily and paid on a
         monthly basis.
         
         The Fund has a Distribution Agreement with Dominion Capital
         Corporation (Distributor). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement,
         the Distributor performs services and bears the expenses relating to
         the offering of Fund shares for sale to the public. As compensation
         for the services provided and expenses borne by the Distributor, the
         Fund pays the Distributor the sales charges. Sales charges for
         distributing fund shares were $375,308 for the year ended June 30,
         1996.
         
         During the year ended June 30, 1996, all orders for the Fund's
         investment transactions were placed through the Distributor, and it
         is expected that the Advisor will continue to place such orders with
         the Distributor.  Commissions charged by Distributor for executing
         investment transactions were $153,876 for the year ended June 30,
         1996.
         
         Certain directors and officers of the Company are also directors,
         officers and/or employees of the Administrator and the Distributor.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dominion Insight Growth Fund


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Dominion Insight Growth Fund, including the schedule of investments in
securities, as of June 30, 1996, and the related statement of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the three years in the period then ended, and the period October 27, 1992
(effective date of the fund Registration Statement under the Securities Act of
1933) to June 30, 1993.  These financial statements and the financial
highlights are the responsibility of the fund's 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 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 securities owned as of June
30, 1996, 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
Dominion Insight Growth Fund as of June 30, 1996, the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods
stated in the first paragraph above, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
