Dominion Insight Growth Fund
A SERIES OF DOMINION FUNDS, INC.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Our Shareholders:

The Fund's 1999 fiscal year with a total return of 25.47%, and included a
long-term capital gain distribution of $2.25 for the year.

In January 1999's semi-annual report we said we were "looking for a continued
strong economy, low inflation, and low unemployment-all elements that central
bankers at the Federal Reserve strive for. This portends strong performance for
the market in general and growth stocks in particular." This has certainly
proved to be the case and is reflected in the Fund's performance.

Even with the summer's volatility, the stocks in the Fund's portfolio have
nearly all met or beat earnings expectations, and their business outlook
continues to look good. Current estimates for our stocks show that earnings
should grow nearly 50% this year and another 35% next year. Despite this
probable growth, the portfolio continues to trade at very reasonable valuations.
This means the possibility exists for stock price appreciation based on earnings
growth AND valuation.

As the market sells off with profit taking or expression of fear with Asia or
other crisis, we recommend it is a good time to make additional purchases. As in
the past 24 months, dollar cost averaging has proved its value.

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.

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Dominion Funds, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the

highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial
statements and 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of June 30, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and
broker. 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 the
Dominion Insight Growth Fund portfolio of Dominion Funds, Inc. as of June 30,
1999, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its

with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          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, and is
            registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a
            diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is
            subject to various investment restrictions as set forth in the
            Statement of Additional Information. The 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 capital share in the Fund represents an equal
            proportionate interest in the net assets of the Fund with each
            other capital 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
            income 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 on the national market
            systems are valued at the last quoted sales price on the day of
            valuation. Securities for which representative market quotations are
            not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good
            faith by the Board of Directors.

            SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

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

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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, 1999, the interest rate
            was 4.00%.

            INCOME TAXES

            The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal
            Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies
            and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net
            realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no
            federal income or excise tax provision is required.

            Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and the
            cost of investments in securities may differ for financial statement
            and income tax purposes. The character of distributions from net
            investment income or net realized gains may differ from their
            ultimate characterization for income tax purposes. At June 30, 1999,
            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 declared and paid from net investment income or net
            realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Short-term
            realized gains are reduced by current year net investment loss. The
            current year net investment loss was fully utilized to reduce
            undistributed short-term realized gains.

NOTE 2   -  DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS

            Distributions of $2.23 aggregating $2,138,324 and $.02 aggregating
            $13,078 were declared from net realized gains from security
            transactions. The dividends were payable on December 3, 1998 and
            June 25, 1999, respectively, to shareholders of record on
            November 30, 1998 and June 21, 1999, respectively.

            At June 30, 1999, the Fund had undistributed net realized gains of
            $3,256,119, of which $1,170,198 are short-term.

NOTE 3   -  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

            As of June 30, 1999, there were 1,000,000,000 shares of $.001 par
            value capital stock authorized of which 200,000,000 shares are
            classified as the Fund's series; the balance is unclassified. As of
            June 30, 1999, capital paid-in aggregated $9,137,781.
