     President's Letter
Dear Shareholder:
 
The Walnut Street Funds is pleased to present you with our 1995 annual report.
The economic environment of 1995 led to strong increases in equity prices in
general, resulting in new highs on major stock indexes. Short-term yields sta-
bilized during 1995 with an "easing" in the Federal Reserve Bank rate policy.
 
Investors continue to show confidence in money market funds, as industry-wide
money market assets during 1995 grew by 26%. The Prime Reserve Fund experienced
growth in assets of more than 75% during 1995, reaching assets of $156.9 mil-
lion on December 31, 1995. The seven-day current yield for the Prime Reserve
Fund was 5.19% on December 31, 1995, with an average maturity of 45 days.
 
Walnut Street Funds, Inc. and General American Investment Management Company,
the Fund's investment adviser, remain committed to providing our shareholders
with excellent service and professional investment management.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                       /s/Rene C. Lorio
 
                                          Rene C. Lorio
                                          President
                                          The Walnut Street Funds, Inc.
 
  Yields will fluctuate with market conditions. Past performance is no
  guarantee of future returns. Investments in money market funds are not
  insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and there is no assurance
  that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
  $1.00 per share. The Fund is currently waiving certain fees. Had fees
  not been waived, the 7-day current yield would have been 5.11% and the
  total return would have been lower. The voluntary waiver of fees may
  be modified or terminated at any time, which would reduce the Fund's
  performance.

     Notes to Financial Statements
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
The Walnut Street Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Maryland Cor-
poration on January 22, 1993 and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company currently
consists of one series. The Walnut Street Prime Reserve Fund (the "Fund") com-
menced investment operations on July 21, 1993.
 
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 at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) SECURITY VALUATIONS
 
Securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. This
method values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter as-
sumes a constant rate of accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount
or premium.
 
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The
Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute income to share-
holders within the allowable time limits. Therefore, no federal income tax pro-
vision is required.
 
At December 31, 1995, the Portfolio had a capital loss carryover of approxi-
mately $10,600 which is available to offset future net realized gains on secu-
rities transactions. Such capital loss carryover will expire in fiscal year
2002.
 
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Net investment income is declared daily and paid monthly.
 
Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from methods used to determine the
corresponding income and capital gains amounts in accordance with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles.
 
(D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
 
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date and interest income is ac-
crued daily. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and
amortized over the life of the respective securities.
 
(E) ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
Costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial registration of
the Fund are being amortized over the period of benefit not to exceed 60 months
from the date upon which the Fund commenced investment operations.
 
If any or all of the shares representing initial capital of the Fund are re-
deemed by any holder thereof prior to the end of the amortization period, the
proceeds will be reduced by the unamortized organizational expense balance in
the

same proportion as the number of such shares redeemed bears to the number of
initial shares outstanding immediately before the redemption.
 
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
General American Investment Management Company acts as the Fund's investment
adviser (the "Adviser"). The Adviser manages the investments of the Fund and is
responsible for all purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities.
 
As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser,
the Fund pays the Adviser a Management Fee, accrued daily and payable monthly,
that is equal, on an annual basis, to .25% of the Fund's average daily net as-
sets on the first $250,000,000 of the Fund's net assets, .24% of the Fund's av-
erage daily net assets in excess of $250,000,000 up to $500,000,000, .23% of
the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000 up to
$750,000,000, .22% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of
$750,000,000 up to $1,000,000,000, and .21% of the Fund's average daily net as-
sets in excess of $1,000,000,000.
 
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to assume/waive expenses for the Fund to the

     Independent Auditors' Report
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Walnut Street Prime Reserve Fund:
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, includ-
ing the schedule of investments, of the Walnut Street Prime Reserve Fund as of
December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years
in the two-year period then ended and for the period from July 21, 1993 (com-
mencement of investment operations) through December 31, 1993. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's man-
agement. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial state-
ments and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights 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 De-
cember 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by man-
agement, 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 presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Walnut Street Prime Reserve Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the
periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
