THE HENLOPEN FUND
ANNUAL REPORT
JUNE 30, 1998
To My Fellow Shareholders:
The Henlopen Fund has completed another successful year, appreciating 32.8%
since June 30, 1997. While the short-term is important, our goal is to produce
superior LONG-TERM results for our shareholders. In that regard The Henlopen
Fund has generated 3 year, 5 year and since inception (December 2, 1992)
annualized returns of 24.5%, 20.9% and 21.7%. This investment performance
continues to support our belief that a strategy of investing in market-leading
growth companies, consistently and judiciously applied, is one of the most
effective ways to increase capital.
The year ending June 30, 1998 was both eventful and profitable for equity
investors in spite of the seemingly endless debate about valuation levels. As
has been the case for several years, the backdrop to equity investment continues
to be quite positive. Over the last twelve months long-term interest rates in
the U.S. have dropped 100 basis points (1%), employment has expanded, inflation
remains quiescent and the dollar has gained strength. This latter element has
been a direct result of many Far East investors fleeing their own markets and
currencies with the U.S. financial and investment markets becoming the
destination of choice. The flow of funds into the stock markets, regardless of
the source, remains strong.
While the economic environment remains generally positive, the work of finding
and investing in attractive securities is as challenging as ever. Domestic GDP
growth is still positive, but the rate of growth has slowed as the U.S. adapts
to both Asian financial turmoil and cyclical adjustments in many of our
important industries. As many companies and industries slow from their recent
rates of expansion, the concomitant volatility to stock prices is dramatic as
investors attempt to assess and value the changing circumstances.
On the following pages, you will see listed the companies currently in the
portfolio. We seek market-leading companies within industries as old as
insurance, retailing and manufacturing and as new as the Internet, solar power
and electronic commerce. Our target investments can be large companies
addressing large opportunities, such as Lucent (communications equipment) or
Pfizer (new drug discovery), or small companies addressing smaller but rapidly
growing opportunities such as AstroPower (solar power) or Steiner Leisure (spa
management). We feel broad diversity, by industry and size, combined with our
concentration on growth will continue to achieve strong results over time,
regardless of the ever-changing environment.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Michael L. Hershey

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Fiscal 1998 was a profitable period in which to be invested in growth equities.
For the year ending 6/30/98, the Fund appreciated +32.8%, while over the last
three years the Fund has appreciated at an annual compounded rate of +24.5%.
The financial and economic backdrop for this performance was positive and
included rising domestic GDP, falling interest rates and improving corporate
earnings. While international financial shocks, especially in the Far East,
provided unsettling news from time to time, these events actually boosted
domestic returns as foreign investors sought the strong currency and robust
equity markets of the United States.
Closer to home, money flows into mutual funds continued to be a positive
stimulant to equity prices. Much of this money flowed into funds that invest in
large capitalization, liquid, growth stocks resulting in historically high
valuations for many securities. Such valuations not only reflect the supply-
demand characteristics of the current market but also reflect the current low
level of inflation and the falling interest rates of the past year. While
recognizing the valuation risks inherent in the current environment, the Fund
continues to be able to find strongly growing companies at reasonable prices.
The Fund seeks to invest in market-leading growth companies that are generating
strong revenue and earnings growth, have strong management teams and highly
competitive products. Relying on internal research and judgement, the Fund
avoids artificial capitalization restraints so that large, intermediate and
small capitalization issues are normally included in the portfolio. The goal is
to be fully invested and to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio of such
companies spread among many industries and market sectors. The Fund's investment
approach is based on the conviction that capital is created as a business grows
and, therefore, owning the common stocks of growing businesses is the best way
for an investor to increase capital.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES --
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of The Henlopen
Fund (the "Fund"), which was organized as a Delaware Business Trust on
September 17, 1992 and is registered as an open-end management company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund commenced operations on December
2, 1992. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital
appreciation.
(a) Each security, excluding short-term investments, is valued at the
last sale price reported by the principal security exchange on which the
issue is traded, or if no sale is reported, the latest bid price.
Securities which are traded over-the-counter are valued at the latest bid
price. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined by the investment adviser under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are valued at
cost which approximates quoted market value. Investment transactions are
recorded no later than the first business day after the trade date. Cost
amounts, as reported on the statement of net assets, are the same for
Federal income tax purposes.
(b) Net realized gains and losses on common stock are computed on the
basis of the cost of specific certificates.
(c) Provision has not been made for Federal income taxes since the Fund
has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" and intends to
distribute substantially all income to its shareholders and otherwise
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies. The Fund has $1,044,039 of post-October
losses, which may be used to offset capital gains in future years to the
extent provided by tax regulations.
(d) Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis.
(e) The Fund has investments in short-term variable rate demand notes,
which are unsecured instruments. The Fund may be susceptible to credit
risk with respect to these notes to the extent the issuer defaults on its
payment obligation. The Fund's policy is to monitor the creditworthiness
of the issuer and does not anticipate nonperformance by these
counterparties.
(f) Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent
financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified to paid-in
capital.
(g) 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 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 these
estimates.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED
PARTIES --
The Fund has a management agreement with Landis Associates, Inc. (the
"Adviser"), with whom certain officers and directors of the Fund are
affiliated, to serve as investment adviser and manager. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Fund will pay the Adviser a monthly management fee at the
annual rate of 1% on the daily net assets of the Fund.
(3) DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS --
Net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are distributed to
shareholders.
(4) DEFERRED EXPENSES --
Organizational expenses were deferred and were amortized on a straight-line
basis over a period of five years. These expenses were advanced by the
Adviser who was reimbursed by the Fund. Organizational expenses were fully
amortized at June 30, 1998.
(5) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS --
For the year ended June 30, 1998, purchases and proceeds of sales of
investment securities (excluding short-term securities) were $41,406,869 and
$37,796,926, respectively.
(6) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES --
As of June 30, 1998, liabilities of the Fund included the following:
Payable to brokers for investments purchased $ 85,500
Payable to the Adviser for management fees 31,943
Other liabilities 20,911
(7) SOURCES OF NET ASSETS --

To the Shareholders and Trustees of The Henlopen Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets 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
The Henlopen Fund (the "Fund") at June 30, 1998, 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 each of the five years
in the period then ended and for the period from December 2, 1992 (commencement
of operations) through June 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Fund'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 June 30, 1998 by correspondence with the
custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
