(1) Performance data includes the performance of the predecessor limited
    partnership for periods before the TCW Galileo Funds' registration became
    effective. The predecessor limited partnerships were not registered under
    the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and, therefore
    were not subject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the
    1940 Act. If the limited partnerships had been registered under the 1940
    Act, the limited partnership's performance may have been lower.

(2) Inception date of the predecessor limited partnership.

(3) Inception date of the Fund was January 2, 1997.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------

Note 1 -  Organization

TCW Galileo Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), is an open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, that currently offers a selection of thirteen no-load mutual
funds known as the TCW Galileo Funds (the "Funds").  TCW Funds Management, Inc.
(the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Funds, as well as the
administrator of their day-to-day operations. TCW Asia Limited and TCW London
International, Limited are sub-advisers for the TCW Galileo Emerging Markets
Fund, and TCW Asia Limited is a sub-adviser to the TCW Galileo Asia Pacific
Equity Fund. The advisers are  registered under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940.  Each Fund has distinct investment objectives and policies.  There is one
diversified money market fund (the TCW Galileo Money Market Fund), four
diversified bond funds (the TCW Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund, the TCW Galileo
High Yield Bond Fund, the TCW Galileo Mortgage Backed Securities Fund and the
TCW Galileo Long-Term Mortgage Backed Securities Fund), a convertible securities
fund (the TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund), and seven non-diversified
equity funds (the TCW Galileo Core Equity Fund, the TCW Galileo Earnings
Momentum Fund, the TCW Galileo Mid-Cap Growth Fund, the TCW Galileo Small Cap
Growth Fund, the TCW Galileo Asia Pacific Equity Fund, the TCW Galileo Emerging
Markets Fund, and the TCW Galileo Latin America Equity Fund) currently offered
by the Company. The TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund commenced operations
on January 2, 1997, resulting from the exchange of limited partnership interest.
The assets and liabilities were transferred at historical cost from the limited
partnership to the Fund on January 2, 1997, and the fair value of which was
exchanged for shares of common shares of the Fund.  The transfer was treated as
a tax-free exchange in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.

The primary investment objective of each Fund follows: (1) the TCW Galileo Money
Market Fund seeks current income, preservation of capital and liquidity by
investing in short-term money market securities; (2) the TCW Galileo Core Fixed
Income Fund seeks capital appreciation and income through investment principally
in Core fixed income securities emphasizing high quality and liquid investments;
(3) the TCW Galileo High Yield Bond Fund seeks high current income through
investment principally in high yield fixed income securities; (4) the TCW
Galileo Mortgage Backed Securities Fund seeks income by investing primarily in
short-term mortgage backed securities; (5) the TCW Galileo Long-Term Mortgage
Backed Securities Fund seeks income by investing primarily in long-term mortgage
backed securities; (6) the TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund seeks high
total return from current income and capital appreciation through investment
principally in convertible securities; (7) the TCW Galileo Core Equity Fund
emphasizes capital appreciation and preservation with focus on long-term
results; (8) the TCW Galileo Earnings Momentum Fund seeks capital appreciation
through investment primarily in publicly-traded equity securities of companies
experiencing or expected to experience accelerating earnings growth; (9) the TCW
Galileo Mid-Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, primarily by
investing in publicly-traded equity securities of medium capitalization
companies; (10) the TCW Galileo Small Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation, primarily by investing in publicly-traded equity securities of
smaller capitalization companies; (11) the TCW Galileo Asia Pacific Equity Fund
seeks long-term capital appreciation, primarily by investing in equity
securities of companies in the Asia Pacific region; (12) the TCW Galileo
Emerging Markets Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in
equity securities of companies in emerging market countries around the world;
and (13) the TCW Galileo Latin America Equity Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation, primarily by investing in Latin American equity securities.


Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Accounting:  The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for
financial reporting purposes.

Security Valuations:  The value of securities held in the TCW Galileo Money
Market Fund is determined by using the amortized cost method applied to each
individual security unless, due to special circumstances, the use of such a
method would result in a valuation that does not approximate fair market value.
Equity fund securities listed or traded on the New York, American or other stock
exchanges are valued at the latest sale price on that exchange (if there were no
sales that day, the security is valued at the latest bid price).  All other
securities, including the bond fund securities, for which over-the-counter
market quotations are readily available, are valued at the latest bid price
prior to the time of valuation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
- -----------------------------------------


Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including
circumstances under which it is determined by the Adviser that sale or bid
prices are not reflective of a security's market value, are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the
general supervision of the Company's Board of Directors.

For Funds other than TCW Galileo Money Market Funds, short-term debt securities
with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued
at amortized cost.  Other short-term debt securities are valued on a marked-to-
market basis until such time as they reach a remaining maturity of 60 days,
whereupon they will be valued at amortized value using their value on the 61st
day prior to maturity.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:  Security transactions are
recorded as of the trade date.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Original issue discount
is accreted as interest income using a constant yield to maturity method.  The
TCW Galileo High Yield Bond Fund recognizes as interest income discounts on
securities purchased at the time the security is sold.  The TCW Galileo Core
Fixed Income Fund recognizes as interest income discounts on securities
purchased using a constant yield to maturity accretion method and also amortizes
premiums as a reduction to interest for securities purchased in excess of par
value on a constant yield to maturity amortization method.  For all other Funds,
premiums on securities purchased are not amortized, except for mortgage backed
obligations for which amortization has been elected as allowed by federal income
tax regulations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are
recorded on the basis of specific identification.

Foreign Currency Translation:  The books and records of each Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars as follows:  (1) the foreign currency market value of investment
securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are
translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and
expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective
dates of such transactions.  The resultant exchange gains and losses are
included in the Statements of Operations with the related net realized gain
(loss).  Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign
exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses
are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes.  It is not practicable to separately identify that portion of gains
and losses of the Funds that arise as a result of changes in the exchange rates
from the fluctuations that arise from changes in market prices of investments
during the year.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:  Certain Funds may enter into forward
foreign currency contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the
change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.
When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized
gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.  Risks may arise
upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated
movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar (See
Note 7).

Dollar Roll Transactions: The Funds may enter into dollar roll transactions with
financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the mortgage-backed
securities market. A dollar roll transaction involves a simultaneous sale by the
Fund of securities that it holds with an agreement to repurchase substantially
similar securities at an agreed upon price and date, but generally will be
collaterialized at time of delivery by different pools of mortgages with
different prepayment histories than those securities sold.  These transactions
are accounted for as financing transactions as opposed to sales and purchases.
The differential between the sale price and the repurchase price is recorded as
deferred income and recognized between the settlement dates of the sale and
repurchase. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not
be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold.
Dollar roll transactions involve risk that the market value of the security sold
by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the security.  There were
no such transactions outstanding as of October 31, 1997.

                                                         TCW GALILEO FUNDS, INC.

                                                                October 31, 1997


Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements secured by
U.S. Government obligations and in other securities. Securities pledged as
collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until
maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure that
the market value of the collateral is sufficient in the event of default;
however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreements, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to
legal proceedings.

Options: Premiums received from call options written are recorded as a
liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the
current market value of the option written. If the option expires unexercised,
premiums received are realized as a gain at expiration date. If the position is
closed prior to expiration, a gain or loss is realized based on premiums
received, less the cost to close the option. When an option is exercised,
premiums received are added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying
securities and a gain or loss is realized.  Call options purchased are accounted
for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired
through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid.  There were
no option contracts entered into during the year ended October 31, 1997.

Deferred Organization Costs:  For those Funds which commenced operations during
1993, organization costs of $50,000 per Fund have been deferred and are being
amortized on a straight line basis over a five-year period from the commencement
of operations of each Fund. Organization costs of $10,000 per Fund for the TCW
Galileo Small Cap Growth Fund, the TCW Galileo Asia Pacific Equity Fund and the
TCW Galileo Emerging Markets Fund have been deferred and are also being
amortized on a straight line basis over a five-year period from the commencement
of operations of each Fund.  Organizational costs of approximately $3,800,
$2,200 and $4,400 for the TCW Galileo Earnings Momentum Fund, TCW Galileo Mid-
Cap Growth Fund and the TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund,  respectively,
have been deferred and are also being amortized on a straight line basis over a
five year period from the commencement of operations.

Upon formation of the Funds, the Company sold and issued to the Adviser 10,008
shares of common stock (one share each of the TCW Galileo Money Market Fund, the
TCW Galileo Small Cap Growth Fund, the TCW Galileo Earnings Momentum Fund, the
TCW Galileo Asia Pacific Equity Fund, the TCW Galileo Emerging Markets Fund,
TCW Galileo Long-Term Mortgage Backed Securities Fund, the TCW Galileo Mid-Cap
Growth Fund and the TCW Convertible Securities Fund, and 2,000 shares each of
the other five Funds, collectively the "Initial Shares").  In the event the
Adviser redeems any of its Initial Shares from one or more of the Funds prior to
the end of the five-year period, the proceeds of the redemption payable in
respect of such shares will be reduced by any unamortized organization costs in
the same ratio as the number of Initial Shares being redeemed bears to the
number of Initial Shares outstanding at the time of the redemption.

Expense Allocation:  Common expenses incurred by the Company are allocated among
the Funds based upon the ratio of net assets of each Fund to the combined net
assets of all the Funds.  All other expenses are charged to each Fund as
incurred on a specific identification basis.

Net Asset Value:  The Net Asset Value of each Fund's shares is determined by
dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding
shares on each business day as of 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time for the TCW Galileo
Money Market Fund and as of 1:00 P.M. Pacific Time for the other Funds.

Dividends and Distributions:  Dividends from net investment income of the TCW
Galileo Money Market Fund are declared each business day.  It is the policy of
the equity funds to declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment
income annually and the bond funds to declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends
from net investment income monthly.  TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund
declares dividends from net investment income quarterly.  Distribution of any
net long-term and net short-term capital gains earned by a Fund will be
distributed at least annually.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income
tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency
transactions, market discount, losses deferred to wash sales and excise tax
regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect
net investment income per share. Undistributed net investment income may include
temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent
period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year-end is distributed
in the following year.

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


Use of Estimates:  The preparation of the accompanying financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported
amount of 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 these estimates.

Note 3 - Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code 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 tax provision is required. At
October 31, 1997, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for
federal income tax purposes was as follows:

Note 7 - Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Funds listed below invested in forward foreign currency contracts during the
year ended October 31, 1997.  These contracts are used for the purpose of
hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Funds' investment in
foreign securities.  These contracts are"marked-to-market" at the valuation date
at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses
are recorded in the Funds' financial statements.  The Funds record realized
gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed.  There were no
realized gains or losses recorded in the financial statements for the year ended
October 31, 1997. A forward contract is extinguished through a sale or the
expiration of the contract.  Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts
from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar.  The following forward foreign currency contracts
were outstanding as of October 31, 1997:

(5) For fiscal years beginning on or after September 1, 1995, a fund is required
    to disclose its average commission rate per share for security trades on
    which commissions are charged. This amount may vary from period to period
    and fund to fund depending on the mix of trades executed in various markets
    where trading practices and commission rate structures may differ.

(1)  For the period March 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) through October
     31, 1994 and not indicative of a full year's operating results.

(2)  Annualized.

(3)  The Investment Adviser had voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee, or to pay
     the operating expenses of the Fund, to the extent necessary to limit the
     annual ordinary operating expenses of the Fund to 1.09% of net assets
     through December 31, 1994. Had such action not been taken, total annualized
     operating expenses as a percentage of average net assets would have been
     1.24% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995 and 1.39% for the period
     March 1,1994 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1994.

(4)  For fiscal years beginning on or after September 1, 1995, a fund is
     required to disclose its average commission rate per share for security
     trades on which commissions are charged. This amount may vary from period
     to period and fund to fund depending on the mix of trades executed in
     various markets where trading practices and commission rate structures may
     differ.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ----------------------------




To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of TCW Galileo Funds, Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, of TCW Galileo Funds, Inc. (comprising TCW Galileo
Money Market Fund, TCW Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund, TCW Galileo High Yield
Bond Fund, TCW Galileo Mortgage Backed Securities Fund, TCW Galileo Long-Term
Mortgage Backed Securities Fund, TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund, TCW
Galileo Core Equity Fund, TCW Galileo Earnings Momentum Fund, TCW Galileo Mid-
Cap Growth Fund, TCW Galileo Small Cap Growth Fund, TCW Galileo Asia Pacific
Equity Fund, TCW Galileo Emerging Markets Fund, and TCW Galileo Latin America
Equity Fund) (the "Funds") as of October 31, 1997 and related statements of
operations for the periods then ended, the statements of changes in net assets
for each of the periods ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, and the financial
highlights for each of the respective periods in the periods ended October 31,
1997.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based upon 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
October 31, 1997 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers.  Where
confirmations were not received, we performed alternative procedures.  An audit
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe 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
Funds as of October 31, 1997 and the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
