PRINCIPLED EQUITY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. Significant accounting policies:
Principled Equity Market Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"),
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, closed-end investment management company. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust which are in
conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.
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. A. Investment securities--
Security transactions are recorded
on the date the investments are purchased or sold. Each day, at noon,
securities traded on national security exchanges are valued at the last sale
price on the primary exchange on which they are listed, or if there has been
no sale by noon, at the current bid price. Other securities for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at the last known sales price,
or, if unavailable, the known current bid price which most nearly represents
current market value. Temporary cash investments are stated at cost, which
approximates market value. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Gains and losses
from sales of investments are calculated using the "identified cost" method
for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
B. Income Taxes-- The Trust has elected to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
to distribute each year all of its taxable income to its shareholders. No
provision for federal income taxes is necessary since the Trust intends to
qualify for and elect the special tax treatment afforded a "regulated
investment company" under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
C. Capital Stock-- The Trust records the sales and redemptions
of its capital stock on trade date.
D. Deferred Organizational Expenses - Costs to be incurred in connection with
organization and registration will be deferred and amortized over a period
of 60 months from the date upon which the Trust commences operations.
2. Investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements: The investment advisory
contract with F.L. Putnam Investment Management Company (the "investment
adviser") provides that the Trust will pay the adviser a fee for investment
advice based on a rate of 1/4% of 1% per annum of the average monthly net
assets. The adviser has elected to waive .10% of the annual fee in the
Trust's first year of operations. David W.C. Putnam, a Trustee of the Trust,
is President and a Director of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Investment
Advisory Contract, the investment adviser is responsible for the management
of the Trust's portfolio. The adviser is obligated to supervise the
performance of administrative and professional services provided by others to
the Trust and will provide all facilities, equipment and personnel and if
requested office space necessary to perform its duties under the
Investment Advisory Contract.

2. Investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (continued): The Trust has
also agreed to an Investment Sub-Advisory Contract between the adviser and
PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. (the sub-adviser), whereby the adviser will
pay an annual rate of .15% of the Trusts average net assets to the
sub-adviser. At June 30, 1997, investment sub-advisory fees of $1,389 were
due which were included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the
accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the Investment
Sub-Advisory Contract, the sub-adviser is responsible for the investment and
reinvestment of securities selected by the adviser.
3. Administration and transfer agent services: The Trust has entered into an
agreement with Anchor Investment Management Corporation for administrative,
transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent services. Annual fees of $12,000
are payable under this agreement.
4. Related parties:
The President and Secretary of the trust is also a director and principal
stockholder of the Trust's investment adviser.
5. Certain Transactions:
For the six months ended June 30, 1997 the total expense increase, as shown
in the statement of operations, is $5,654 as a result of an expense offset
arrangement with its custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company. The Trust
could have invested the assets used by the custodian in an income producing
asset if it had not agreed to a reduction in fees under the expense offset
arrangement. In addition, the expense ratios in the Selected Per Share Data
and ratios are based on the total expenses, which include amounts that would
have been paid in lieu of an expense offset arrangement
6. Purchases and sales:
Aggregate cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales and maturities on
investments for the year ended six months ended June 30, 1997 were:
