LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS                                            INVENTOR FUNDS

DEAR INVENTOR FUNDS SHAREHOLDER:

   "What a difference a year makes!" That was the opening statement in our last
shareholder letter to you back in October. At that time we were referencing the
vast improvement in the market conditions which had occurred over the past
several months. Again we can make this same statement as Inventor Funds is
going through a period of significant transition -- one which we feel will
positively influence your investment with us -- as we prepare to join forces
with ARMADA FUNDS.

   As we informed you in our last report, Integra Financial Corporation, the
parent to the Fund's investment adviser, Integra Trust Company, had agreed to
merge with National City Corporation. As many of you know, this merger occurred
on May 2, of this year. Since 1986, affiliates of National City Corporation have
served as investment advisers to ARMADA FUNDS.The ARMADA family of mutual Funds
presently consists of eleven portfolios holding over $3.6 billion dollars.

   On February 12, 1996, the Inventor Fund`s Board of Trustees approved a
resolution naming National City Bank as investment adviser to the funds. This
resolution was presented to the Fund's shareholders for approval and passed
at a special shareholders meeting on May 2.

   Then on March 18, 1996, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved a plan to
merge the Inventor Funds into ARMADA FUNDS. Pending approval of shareholders at
a special shareholders meeting scheduled for August 1, 1996, the fund families
will merge in September. Proxy information about this meeting is being sent in a
separate mailing.

   Upon request of the Fund Adviser and with approval by the Board of Trustees,
the Prime Obligations and Treasury Securities Money Market Funds were dissolved
on May 31. Where positive consent was obtained from shareholders, assets in
these Funds were moved to an ARMADA money market fund having similar investment
objectives.

   The Inventor Equity Growth Fund will be merged into the existing ARMADA
Equity Fund. This Fund has similar investment objectives -- investing in stocks
of large sized companies having rapid earnings growth -- and is managed in a
similar manner as its Inventor counterpart.

   The remaining Funds -- GNMA Securities, Intermediate Government Securities,
Pennsylvania Municipal Bond, and the Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Money Market
- --will be merged intact into ARMADA FUNDS as new funds to the family. The
two Pennsylvania tax-free funds will continue to be sub-advised by Weiss, Peck
and Greer while the two taxable fixed income funds will then be managed by
National City.

                                                               APRIL 30, 1996  1

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS                                            INVENTOR FUNDS


   The merger between the funds will provide several benefits:

   A larger family and larger portfolios will create additional economies and in
some cases reduce the overall expense ratios, which may translate into more
earnings being passed onto the shareholder.

   Upon completion of the merger, ARMADA FUNDS will offer three equity funds,
seven fixed income funds and five money market funds. As your investment
objectives change or you wish to further diversify, you'll now have more options
to select from within the same fund family.

   Finally, it would be inappropriate to close without some discussion about
your Funds' performance. Since the beginning of the year, pressure on interest
rates has pushed them higher as fears pervade that a strong economy may bring on
higher inflation. Then at the end of January, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed")
made the move to increase the Fed Funds Rate by one-quarter percent. Since then,
the bond markets have kept a close eye on any indications that the economy is
overheating which could trigger further Fed action. Particular sensitivity has
been shown towards the strong employment figures reported near the beginning of
each month. This pressure has pushed 30 year Treasury Bond rates close to 7%,
with them often crossing this rather significant level. Intermediate bond rates
have been near the 6.75% range, while two to five year notes have been trading
well above 6% and over 6.5% on the longer end.

   This increase in interest rates has hampered fund performance within the
fixed income sectors as bond prices, which move in opposite direction of
interest rates, have fallen. This has provided negative year-to-date returns on
the three Inventor fixed income funds -- Intermediate Government Securities,
GNMA Securities, and Pennsylvania Municipal Bond. Despite posting negative
returns, the funds have performed near or at the top of their respective peer
group for year-to-date 1996. Each of these funds have ranked in the top quintile
of their peer group according to Lipper Analytical Services. This marked
improvement has been due to the defensive nature the managers have taken with
the funds and from the efforts that were initiated last year to help performance
results. Each of the fund managers have provided their own analysis of
performance in more detail in the Adviser's Review section of this report.

   1996 has seen the continuance of the bull market in stocks. As of April 30,
the Equity Growth Fund had a 7.6% year-to-date return, placing it in the middle
performance quintile for growth funds. One year performance was a very
respectable 29.95% placing it at above average performance for growth funds with
a 43 percentile ranking.

   As this will most likely be our final shareholder report to you, all of us
associated with the Inventor Funds want to thank you for investing with us. We
also want to assure you that we feel that ARMADA FUNDS will live up to your
investment expectations in the future. As we approach conversion dates, we will
keep you informed of anything significant that may impact your account. Again,
thank you for investing with Inventor Funds.

ADVISERS' REVIEW                                                  INVENTOR FUNDS


ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The economy put in a deceptively strong performance in the first quarter of the
year as real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 2.3%. Aggregate activity was
actually significantly more robust than this number suggests, as large gains in
final sales were somewhat offset by the first outright decline in inventories
since the previous recession. Employment growth has been impressive so far this
year, with job growth averaging over 270,000 over the last three months, while
the unemployment rate stands at a cyclical low of 5.4%. Large job gains appear
poised to continue as jobless claims have declined nine out of the last ten
weeks, while other employment data such as overtime levels point to continued
strength in the labor market. Also contributing to the upturn in the economy has
been the housing market, which has yet to turn down even in a significantly
higher interest rate environment. Accordingly, we foresee continued above
average growth in the second quarter of 1996, with a GDP forecast of
considerably over 3%. On the other hand, the second half of the year should
moderate as consumer demand softens due to higher debt burdens and interest
rate sensitive sectors finally turn down.

Inflation for 1996 has thus far seen a modest uptick as food and energy prices
continue to increase substantially. However, if these always volatile sectors
are taken out of consumer and producer price indices, the "core inflation"
picture looks much better. Consumer inflation should remain close to the 3%
level for this year, which while the highest in four years, is quite respectable
given the tendency for inflation to accelerate as economic expansions age. We
continue to believe that the key to future inflation trends are centered on wage
and productivity trends, both of which though currently positive, bear very
close monitoring.

Given the apparent strength of the economy, the market has priced in 50 basis
points (bp) of Federal Reserve Board tightening by the end of the year. We agree
with the market and foresee at least one 25 bp increase in the Federal Funds
rate in the third quarter, followed by another 25 bp increase in the fourth
quarter.

Although the stock market has continued its impressive performance into 1996,
the bond market has not. After the 30-year Treasury bond hit a low of 5.95% at
the end of December, rates have increased sharply, as investors feared that
stronger growth could not be attained without higher inflation. Through May, the
yield on the 30 year bond has increased by over 100 bp, resulting in a -11.11%
total return. This is significantly worse performance than the corresponding
period in 1994, the worst year for the long bond since 1926. Looking forward, we
expect rates to rise even further as the economy and inflation continue to
display signs of strength, which ultimately will force the Fed to tighten.
However, as these concerns fade towards the end of the year, long rates should
decline back to today's levels of around 7%.

ADVISERS' REVIEW                                                  INVENTOR FUNDS


EQUITY GROWTH FUND
   Sub-adviser: STI Capital
                Management, N.A.
   Portfolio Manager: Anthony Gray

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Equity Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in a
diversified mix of common stocks, warrants and convertible securities considered
undervalued at the time of purchase. In selecting securities for the Fund, the
adviser will evaluate other factors believed to affect capital appreciation such
as the issuer's background, industry position, historical returns on equity and
the experience and qualifications of the management team.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

The investment strategy for the Equity Growth Fund emphasizes a bottom-up
approach focusing on securities with strong historical growth rates that have
shown indications for sustaining this growth in the future. In a slowing
economy, the Fund looks for companies that offer between 5% to 15% in earnings
growth potential. Since the inception of this Fund in August of 1994, little has
changed in the basic strategy and philosophy used to manage the Fund.

What has changed, however, is the attractiveness of certain industries and
issues, which is common in the challenging investment environment which we now
face. The market continues to grow, breaking records in growth and size, even as
mixed indicators leave an unclear picture of the

state of the economy. Growth stocks have slowly come back into favor as
faster-paced smaller companies have become fully valued and investors become
more interested in larger, more consistent growth companies. Technology stocks
have caused several market indices to generate returns well above the
performance of most managers for of the past year. While these stocks are
definitely an influence on the market, the price volatility and lack of
consistent earnings makes this a difficult sector to weight fully, while
positioning for long term price appreciation. Performance has been strong
despite a limited exposure to these securities.

ADVISERS' REVIEW                                                  INVENTOR FUNDS

The Equity Growth Fund continues to focus on larger cap companies with strong
historical growth trends. Focus has shifted back to a more select group of high
quality companies with strong growth potential, especially in the slowing
economic environment. Industry sectors such as financial, health, leisure and
media have been overweighted, while energy, autos, and retail are below market
weighting. Stock selection within these sectors will add the most value as the
market remains indecisive about the economy. For the 12 month period ending
April 30, 1996, the Fund had a total return of 29.95%, nearly matching the 30.21
industry overage total return as calculated by the S&P Composite index.

SECURITIES FUND
   Sub-adviser: Wellington Management
                Company
   Portfolio Manager: Thomas L. Pappas

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The investment objective of the Fund is to preserve capital and maintain a high
degree of liquidity while providing current income as is consistent with the
standards prescribed for the portfolio.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

For the 12 month period ending April 30, 1996, the Intermediate Government
Securities Fund had a total return of 7.09%, outpacing the industry average of
6.93% as measured by Lipper Analytical Services for Intermediate U.S. Government
Funds. However, the Fund underperformed the Merrill Lynch 3-5 Year
Intermediate-Term Treasury Index which returned 7.94% for the same period.

The bond market certainly has had two very different lives during the last
twelve months. For the first half of that period, interest rates fell and bonds
appreciated in price. Accordingly, the Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) share price
rose by $0.29. However, in the last six months, rates rose and bond prices
suffered; in that time, the Fund's NAV price declined by a comparable $0.27.

The Fund attempted to weather this volatile environment by maintaining an
approximate 55% weighting in mortgages and carefully managing interest rate risk
within the Treasury sector. The Fund was able to provide a better than 7% total
return over that time period, largely due to the extra income provided by the
mortgage market. Mortgages continue to offer 1/2% to 1% more income per year
versus Treasuries, and therefore continue to look attractive.

During the last few months, we have reduced the Fund's exposure to both very
short and very long maturities, preferring instead to emphasize the "middle"
maturities, i.e. those in 3-8 years. Five year Treasuries now yield 6.4%: over
1% more than money market funds and 3-4% more than inflation.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

For the 12 month period ending April 30, 1996, the GNMA Securities Fund had a
total return of 7.97%, beating the industry average total return of 7.75% for
GNMA Funds as calculated by Lipper Analytical Services by nearly 1/4 point. The
Fund also outperformed its unmanaged benchmark index, the Lehman Brothers GNMA
Index, which returned 7.84% over the same period.

The bond market certainly has had two very different lives during the last
twelve months. For the first half of that time, interest rates fell and bonds
appreciated in price. Accordingly, the Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) share price
rose by $0.30. However, in the last six months, rates rose and bond prices
suffered; in that time, the Fund's NAV price declined by a comparable $0.34.

The Fund attempted to weather this volatile environment by controlling interest
rate and prepayment risk while remaining fully invested. This largely involved
owning "seasoned" GNMA pass-throughs instead of newer securities which have more
prepayment uncertainty and risk. The Fund was able to provide an 8% total return
over that time period, largely due to good relative performance by GNMA
mortgages. Mortgages continue to offer 1/2% to 1% more income per year versus
Treasuries, and therefore continue to look attractive. Pursuant to this outlook,
as of April 30, 1996, the Fund consisted of 89.4% GNMAs, 6.4% FHLMC's and 4.1%
Repurchase Agreements.

On an absolute basis, mortgages look attractive as GNMA 7.5% pass-throughs now
yield 7.75%, their highest yield in twelve months. These securities tend to face
less refinancing risk in the current environment, and, like all GNMAs, are
backed by the credit of the U.S. Government.

ADVISERS' REVIEW                                                  INVENTOR FUNDS

PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL
BOND FUND
   Sub-adviser: Weiss, Peck & Greer L.L.P.
   Portfolio Manager: S. Blake Miller

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from
both regular federal income and Pennsylvania personal income tax while
preserving capital.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

Market psychology was generally bullish over the last three quarters of 1995.
The market was driven by an almost unanimous view of the Federal Reserve's (the
"Fed") direction. Towards the end of 1995, the consensus view began to splinter,
as the economy and employment levels remained strong. Subsequent to the most
recent Fed action to lower rates on January 31, 1996, the market began to price
in a tightening move. This sharp reversal in perceptions produced negative
returns for all but the shortest maturities along the yield curve.

The Pennsylvania economy continues to show signs of strength as well as an
improving budgetary situation as evidenced by a fourth consecutive operating
surplus recorded for fiscal 1995.

Through the end of the third quarter of 1995, the Fund maintained an average
maturity of approximately 5.5 years. At year end, the average maturity had been
reduced to 5 years, thus insulating the Fund from the difficult market
experienced thus far in 1996. The Fund continues to seek out individual
securities that provide above average yields for the interest rate risk
taken.

1 For the period ended April 30, 1996. Past performance of the Fund is not
predictive of future performance. The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund commenced
operations on August 10, 1994.

For the 12 month period ended April 30, 1996, the Fund had a total return of
5.06% versus a total return of 5.81% for the average Pennsylvania Intermediate
Term Fund as reported by Lipper Analytical Services and a total return of 6.70%
for the Lehman Brothers 5 Year Pennsylvania Index. The underperformance versus
the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Index is attributable to the risk adverse nature
of the Fund's prospectus that keeps the Fund among the shortest of the category.
This limited the Fund's performance during the strength of 1995, but has aided
the Fund during the weakest of 1996.

   Sub-adviser: Wellington Management

   Portfolio Manager: John Keogh

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Prime Obligations Money Market Fund seeks to preserve principal value and
maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

The Prime Obligations Money Market Fund was positioned with a longer average
maturity for most of the fiscal year in order to take advantage of declining
short term interest rates. In response to slow economic growth and low
inflation, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") lowered the Federal funds rate three
times from 6.00% to its current 5.25% level. The start of 1996 looked like the
Fed-engineered "soft landing" would continue; however, lower interest rates and
a better employment environment revived consumer spending. Real Gross Domestic
Product ("GDP") grew 2.8% for the first quarter of 1996, double what the market
had expected. High quality commercial paper and federal agency discount notes
represented the largest segments of portfolio holdings.

TREASURY SECURITIES
MONEY MARKET FUND
   Sub-adviser: Wellington Management
                Company
   Portfolio Manager: John Keogh

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Treasury Securities Money Market Fund seeks to preserve principal value and
maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income. The Fund
invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements
involving such obligations.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

The Treasury Securities Money Market Fund is AAA rated by Standard & Poor's
Corporation, and is therefore required to maintain weighted average maturity of
no more than 60 days. While well within this higher standard, the Fund was
positioned with a relatively long average maturity for most of the fiscal year
in order to take advantage of declining short term interest rates. In response
to slow economic growth and low inflation, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed")
lowered the Federal funds rate three times from 6.00% to its current 5.25%
level. The start of 1996 looked like the Fed-engineered "soft landing" would
continue; however, lower interest rates and a better employment environment
revived consumer spending. Real Gross Domestic Product grew 2.8% for the first
quarter of 1996, double what the market had expected. At the end of the period
the portfolio remained with 2/3 of its holdings in U.S. Treasury obligations and
the balance in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasuries.

PENNSYLVANIA TAX EXEMPT
MONEY MARKET FUND
   Sub-adviser: Weiss, Peck & Greer
   Portfolio Manager: Janet A. Fiorenza

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Fund seeks to provide current income
exempt from regular federal income tax and Pennsylvania personal income taxes,
consistent with the stability of principal. The Fund invests in high quality
debt obligations issued by or on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
its political subdivisions and financing authorities.

All securities in which the Fund invests must be rated in one of the two highest
short-term rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations or be of comparable quality as determined by the
sub-adviser.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

For the 12 month period ending April 30, 1996, the average weighted maturity of
the Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Fund ranged between 50 and 60 days. As
of April 30, 1996, approximately 50% of the Fund's assets were invested in
variable rate demand obligations which have daily and weekly put options and
rate resets; the remainder of the Fund's assets invested in longer-term
securities maturing within 397 days. The Fund is sound and cushioned with
relation to current events and trends in the financial markets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                     INVENTOR FUNDS

APRIL 30, 1996

1. ORGANIZATION

   Inventor Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") was organized as a Maryland
corporation under Articles of Incorporation dated April 22, 1994. The
Corporation is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company with seven funds:
Equity Growth Fund, Intermediate Government Securities Fund, GNMA Securities
Fund, Pennsyslvania Municipal Bond Fund, Prime Obligations Money Market Fund,
Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, and Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Money Market
Fund (referred to as a "Fund" or collectively as the "Funds"). The Funds'
prospectus provides a description of each Fund's investment objectives, policies
and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's
interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds.

   SECURITY VALUATION -- Investment securities of the Prime Obligations Money
Market Fund, Treasury Securities Money Market Fund and the Pennsylvania
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Money Market Funds") are stated at amortized
cost which approximates market value. Under this valuation method, purchase
discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized ratably to maturity and are
included in interest income. Investment securities of the Equity Growth Fund,
Intermediate Government Securities Fund, GNMA Securities Fund and the
Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund (the "Non-Money Market Funds") which are listed
on a securities exchange for which market quotations are available are valued by
an independent pricing service at the last quoted sales price for such
securities on each business day. If there is no such reported sale, these
securities and unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price.

   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Cost used in
determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are
those of the specific securities sold, adjusted for the accretion and
amortization of purchase discounts or premiums during the respective holding
period which is calculated using the effective interest method. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend
date. Gains and losses from pay-downs of mortgage-backed securities are included
in net investment income.

   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for Repurchase
Agreements are held by the custodian bank until maturity of the Repurchase
Agreements. Provisions of the Agreements and procedures adopted by Integra Trust
Company (the "Adviser") ensure that the market value of the collateral,
including interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the
counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral
declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of
the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Funds also invest in
tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party
repurchase agreements are maintained by the broker's custodian bank in a
segregated account until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the
agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued
interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default. If the counterparty
defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters
into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be
delayed or limited.

   TBA PURCHASE COMMITMENTS -- The Intermediate Government Securities Fund and
the GNMA Securities Fund may enter into "TBA" (to be announced) purchase
commitments to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond
customary settlement time. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities
in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be
purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the
risk of decline in the value of the funds' other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase
commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities,
generally according to the procedures described under "Security Valuation"
above.

   TBA SALE COMMITMENTS -- The Intermediate Government Securities Fund and the
GNMA Securities Fund may enter into sale commitments to hedge its portfolio
positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery
agreements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contract
settlement date. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market
value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures
described under "Security Valuation"

APRIL 30, 1996

above. The contract is "marked to market" daily and the change in value is
recorded by the Fund as unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is
closed through the accquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment the Fund
realizes a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the
underlying security. If securities are delivered under the commitment, the Fund
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit
price at the date the commitment was entered into.

   EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are
charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are
prorated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.

   DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The Equity Growth Fund declares and pays
dividends from net investment income on a monthly basis. The Intermediate
Government Securities Fund, GNMA Securities Fund, Pennsyslvania Municipal Bond
Fund, Prime Obligations Money Market Fund, Treasury Securities Money Market
Fund, and Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund distributions from net
investment income are declared on a daily basis and are payable monthly. Any net
realized capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at
least annually.

   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as
a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

   ORGANIZATION COSTS -- Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Funds
and are being amortized over sixty months commencing with operations. In the
event any of the initial shares of the Funds are redeemed by any holder thereof
during the period that the Funds are amortizing their organizational costs, the
redemption proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Funds will be reduced
by the unamortized organizational 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 redemption. These costs include legal fees of approximately
$53,415 for organizational work performed by a law firm of which an officer and
trustee of the Funds is a partner.

   OTHER -- Certain officers of the Funds are also officers of the Administrator
and/or Distributor. Such officers are paid no fees by the Funds for serving as
officers of the Corporation.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES

   The Funds and the Adviser have entered into an investment advisory agreement,

Such a fee is computed daily and paid monthly. The Adviser is responsible for
the supervision of, and payment of fees to, the Sub-Advisers in connection with
their services.

   SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of SEI Corporation ("SEI"), became the Fund's Distributor pursuant to an
agreement dated August 1, 1994. The Class A shares of the Funds have a Rule
12b-1 Distribution Plan (the "Class A Plan"), under which such shares bear
distribution expenses and related service fees at the annual rate of up to 0.25%
of their average daily net assets.

   Pursuant to an administration agreement dated August 1, 1994 SEI Financial

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS                                 INVENTOR FUNDS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE INVENTOR FUNDS, INC.

   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Inventor
Funds, Inc. comprising, respectively, Equity Growth, Pennsylvania Municipal
Bond, Intermediate Government Securities, GNMA Securities, Prime Obligations
Money Market, Treasury Securities Money Market and Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Money
Market Funds as of April 30, 1996, and the related statements of operations for
the year ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the respective periods presented. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on 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 April
30, 1996, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, 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 the financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the respective portfolios comprising the Inventor Funds,
Inc. as of April 30, 1996, the results of their operations for the year then
ended, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each
of the respective periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
