Dear Investor:

Thank you for your interest in the Bonnel Growth Fund. Our Fund began operations
on  October  17,  1994.  The Fund has  achieved a total  return of 37.65%  since
inception. 

                                                   12/31/94 - 12/31/95

          The Bonnel Growth Fund                          45.22%

The Bonnel Growth Fund is a no-load mutual fund that seeks  long-term  growth of
capital by investing in common stocks of companies  with growth  potential.  The
fund focuses on mid-sized  companies  that  historically  grow faster than their
larger  competitors and offer great  opportunity for achieving gains. Of course,
the performance of mid-sized company stocks may be more volatile. This is why we
strongly  suggest you use our ABC  Investment  Plan(R) to build your position in
the Bonnel Growth Fund.  Please refer to the Fund's  prospectus  for  additional
information on the Fund's investment objectives and practices.

Art Bonnel has been expertly managing money for 25 years. Before teaming up with
United Services,  Art managed a highly rated growth mutual fund for another fund
group.  United Services offered him his own namesake fund where he could put the
same stock selection strategy to work for you in--the Bonnel Growth
Fund.

One factor drives the Bonnel stock selection  strategy---the  search for quality
growth companies.  Out of a universe of almost 9,000 stocks,  only about 1% pass
Art's strict selections process. Art's time-tested
strategy seeks out growth companies that have:

          * strong,  quality earnings from operations 
          * a leading position within its  market  niche  
          * a  clean  balance  sheet  with  little  debt  
          * a management team with substantial equity ownership

You may  purchase  shares  directly  from  the  fund  by  mailing  the  enclosed
application with an investment check. Our investment minimums are:
