</TABLE>
     The stock market, as measured by the bellwether indices - the Standard and
Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, continued to
march higher in the first half of 1998. However, the six-month period exhibited
two different trading environments. During the first quarter, the stock market
advance was broad-based, driven by strength in the domestic economy, low
inflation, and stable bond yields. Robust capital flows into U.S. stocks, which
included heavy mutual fund buying, persistent share repurchases, and a record
level of foreign participation, also played a dramatic role in pushing stocks
higher. The second quarter experienced more modest gains by the popular indices
but the stocks of small and mid-sized companies, in many instances, recorded
losses. In fact, the year-to-date performance differential between the S&P 500's
50 largest companies and the next 450 was among the most extreme of the last
five decades. In large part and for a number of reasons, the strong capital
flows into U.S. stocks have been attracted to the liquidity of large company
stocks. Bond yields declined moderately across the yield curve over the first
half of the year, but here again, first and second quarter performance differed
as short-term interest rates fell in the first quarter and long-term interest
rates caught up in the second quarter.
     The LKCM Equity Fund is managed to provide long-term capital appreciation
via investment primarily in common stocks of mid-sized and large companies. The
LKCM Equity Fund posted a very attractive absolute total return in the first
half of 1998 despite being outpaced by its benchmark index, the S&P 500. The
Fund's performance was primarily impacted by two factors during the period.
First, our focus on both risk as well as reward, through a conscious valuation
discipline, capped some of the upside. Second, while the Fund selectively owned
a number of large-cap stocks, we continued to dedicate a material portion of
Fund assets to shares of mid-sized companies, which appeared to offer a better
reward/risk trade-off. As of June 30, 1998, the Fund had over-weight positions
in the Energy sector (11.8%) and the strong performing Health Care sector
(15.3%) when compared to the S&P 500. As of June 30, 1998, the total net assets
of the portfolio were $40,738,568 with 90.2% of net assets invested in common
stocks and 9.8% in cash reserves net of liabilities. As we evaluate the
investment opportunities going forward, the LKCM Equity Fund appears well
positioned with a mix of investments in the common stocks of larger companies
with strong free cash flow but at reasonable valuations and medium-sized
companies with niche growth opportunities.
     The LKCM Small Cap Fund is managed to maximize capital appreciation through
investment primarily in common stocks of smaller companies. After three strong
years in which the Fund exceeded its benchmark, the Russell 2000, by generating
20%+ annual returns, the Fund modestly trailed its bogey in the first half of
1998. Over the years, the Fund's outstanding performance has been driven by
investment in shares of niche companies, purchased at reasonable prices, which
possessed a unique potential to grow their businesses at above-average returns
on invested capital. During the first half of 1998, an over-weight position in
the Energy sector (9.5%) and an under-weight position in the Technology sector
(4.7%) had a material impact on short-term performance. As of June 30, 1998,
total net assets of the portfolio were $284,250,962 with 84.0% of net assets
invested in common and preferred stocks and 16.0% in cash reserves net of
liabilities. The LKCM Small Cap Fund, primarily composed of the
compellingly-valued common stocks of niche companies with attractive growth
prospects, is solidly positioned to enter the second half of 1998.
     The LKCM International Fund seeks absolute returns through the active
management of the International Equity markets, with a focus on mid/large cap
stocks. The Fund combines a geopolitical approach (avoiding risk) with a
detailed bottom up search for quality companies. The portfolio has been heavily
weighted toward Europe (average 91% of equity only) notably France, Italy and UK
as TT International (TTI) believes that Asia remains unsafe. In addition, the
situation in Japan is also difficult with consumer confidence at a very low
level and even the new Prime Minister seemingly unable to change policy. In
Europe the benign political environment combined with low interest rates has and
will continue to provide good opportunities on a stock specific basis. The Fund
has seen significant growth in the last six months and now has assets of over
$50 million; in a rising market the effect of this cash flow has been the main
cause of the underperformance. Looking ahead, while TTI remains confident about
the long term prospects for Europe, they also expect volatility brought about by
further concerns in Asia/Japan and a possible pull back in the U.S. from which
Europe will not be immune.
     The LKCM Balanced Fund is managed using a total return approach, which
emphasizes capital appreciation, income generation, and protection against
excessive volatility. In order to attain the desired reward/risk profile, the
Fund invests in a blend of common stocks, convertible securities, government and
corporate bonds, and cash. As expected, the Fund's performance fell between that
of the S&P 500 and the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond
Index. Given the strength in the stock market during the first half of the year,
the portfolio's equity investments provided the lion's share of the total return
during the first six months of 1998. The portfolio's bond investments generated
significant investment income and are an important part of managing volatility.
In fact, the fixed income component of the portfolio did serve to dampen
volatility in the more difficult equity market of the second quarter. As of June
30, 1998, total net assets were $1,515,982 with 59.6% invested in common stocks,
6.5% in convertible securities, 25.3% in corporate bonds, 5.2% in U.S. Treasury
obligations, and 3.5% in cash reserves net of liabilities. The "total return"
philosophy of controlling risk via a blend of asset classes remains an
attractive investment alternative for most market environments.
     The LKCM Fixed Income Fund emphasizes current income and capital
preservation. The Fund's strategy is to invest in a combination of noncallable
bonds for their offensive characteristics and callable bonds as defensive
investments in order to create a high quality, low volatility, intermediate
maturity portfolio. The Fund modestly trailed its bogey, the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index, during the first half of 1998 due
primarily to timing issues related to securities purchases at the inception of
the Fund. We have relied upon our internal research capabilities in order to
identify corporate bonds with strong credit profiles and attractive yields. The
average effective maturity of the Fund at the end of the second quarter was
approximately 4.7 years and the average quality was AA. As of June 30, 1998,
total net assets were $10,574,033 and the asset mix was 59.0% in corporate
bonds, 35.5% in U.S. Treasury Notes, and 5.5% in cash and cash equivalents. The
portfolio is well positioned to benefit from the current environment of low
inflation and continued economic growth.
     As we enter the second half of 1998, a number of positive factors remain in
place for the equity market including strong cash flows into mutual funds,
stable to falling interest rates, favorable demographics, a high level of merger
activity, improving productivity, and robust corporate share repurchases.
However, we remain guarded about the high level of valuations relative to
historical standards, the threat to corporate profit margins as economic growth
slows, and the few number of stocks participating in the most recent stock
market advance. We remain sanguine about the direction of interest rates but we
have identified a number of "wild cards" that inject some uncertainty into our
outlook for flat to slightly lower interest rates. After balancing the positives
and negatives facing the equity market, we expect stock market returns to revert
back to the historical average of 8% to 10% total returns (including dividends)
laced with intermittent corrections and greater volatility. Interestingly,
despite our valuation concerns regarding the overall market environment, our
investment team continues to discover attractive investment opportunities.
Overall, the environment we foresee is favorable for firms that intensely focus
on the merits of individual stocks and the nearly twenty-year investment
heritage of LKCM prepares us well for such an environment.

LKCM Funds
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES. LKCM Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act as a diversified open-end, management company. The Trust
was organized as a Delaware business trust on February 10, 1994 and consists of
five series of shares comprising the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, the LKCM Equity
Fund, the LKCM Balanced Fund, the LKCM Fixed Income Fund and the LKCM
International Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), the assets of which are invested
in separate, independently managed portfolios. Investment operations of the
Funds began on July 14, 1994 (the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund), January 3, 1996
(the LKCM Equity Fund), and December 30, 1997 (the LKCM Balanced Fund, the LKCM
Fixed Income Fund and the LKCM International Fund). The LKCM Small Cap Equity
Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation. The LKCM Equity Fund seeks to
maximize long-term capital appreciation. The LKCM Balanced Fund seeks to provide
investors with current income and capital appreciation. The LKCM Fixed Income
Fund seeks to provide investors with current income. The LKCM International Fund
seeks to provide investors with a total return in excess of the EAFE Index. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds
in preparation of the financial statements.

    1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange or
    the Nasdaq Stock Market for which market quotations are readily available
    are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made.
    Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
    security is primarily traded. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S.
    securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are
    readily available are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and
    asked price. Securities listed on a foreign exchange for which market
    quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales price
    available before the time when assets are valued. Fixed-income securities
    (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less) are normally
    valued on the basis of quotes obtained from pricing services. Fixed-income
    securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued
    at amortized cost if it reflects fair value. Other assets and securities for
    which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities)
    will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the
    Board of Trustees. 

    2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Fund's policy to meet the requirements
    of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies
    and each Fund intends to distribute investment company net taxable income
    and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
    provision is required.

    3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements 
    with broker-dealers or banks that meet the credit guidelines established by
    the Board of Trustees. In connection with transactions in repurchase 
    agreements, it is the Fund's policy that the custodian take possession of
    the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the 
    principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest.
    If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, 
    realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

    4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Small Cap Equity, Equity and 
    International Funds intend to pay dividends and net capital gains 
    distributions, if any, on an annual basis. The Balanced and Fixed Income
    Funds intend to pay dividends on a quarterly basis and net capital gain
    distributions, if any, on an annual basis. 

    5. FOREIGN SECURITIES: Investing in securities of foreign companies and
    foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically
    associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These
    risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and
    economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and
    foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices
    more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the
    U.S. government. 

<PAGE>

    6. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Funds are 
    maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated
    into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of
    investment securities, assets and liabilities at the daily rates of
    exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend
    and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing
    on the respective dates of such transactions. For financial reporting
    purposes, the Funds do not isolate changes in the exchange rate of
    investment securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the
    market prices of securities. However, for federal income tax purposes the
    Funds do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in
    foreign exchange rates on realized gain or loss from the sale of investment
    securities and payables and receivables arising from trade date and
    settlement date differences.

    7. FORWARD CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The LKCM International Fund 
    utilizes forward currency exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging 
    foreign currency risk on unsettled trades. Under these contracts, they are
    obligated to exchange currencies at specific future dates. Risks arise 
    from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their
    contracts and from movements in currency values. 

    8. EXPENSE ALLOCATION: Common expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated
    among the Funds based upon (i) relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred
    on a specific identification basis, or (iii) evenly among the Funds,
    depending on the nature of the expenditure. 

    9. USE OF ESTIMATES: 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 
    those estimates. 

    10. OTHER: Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade 
    date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on
    the identified cost basis. Dividend income and dividends and distributions
    to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is 
    recognized on the accrual basis. Generally accepted accounting principles
    required that permanent financial reporting and tax differences relating to
    shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital.

B. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS: Luther King Capital Management
Corporation (the "Adviser"), serves as the investment adviser to the Funds under
an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"). The Adviser receives a fee,
