                            PORTFOLIO MANAGER REPORT

        COMMENTS FROM DISCUSSIONS WITH GARY J. GUTHRIE, PORTFOLIO MANAGER

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED   The fund has a total return of 6.51%(1) and
OVER THE PAST SIX-MONTHS     33.73%(1), exclusive of sales load for the six
AND ONE YEAR PERIODS?        months and one year ended August 31, 1999,
                             respectively. This compares with the S&P 500 Index
                             returns of 7.32% and 39.81% for the period. The
                             average growth and income fund tracked by Lipper
                             Inc. returned 7.08% and 31.16% for the same six
                             months and one year periods.

WHAT IS THE COMPOSITION OF   The fund is currently invested in 78 companies,
THE PORTFOLIO AT THIS TIME?  which represent 33 industries. We are broadly
                             diversified with the single largest equity holding
                             at 3.8% of the portfolio while the ten largest
                             positions represent 27.1%(2) of the portfolio as of
                             August 31, 1999.

WHAT COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE    Investor sentiment on value/cyclical issues waned
ON THE MARKET AND FUND       as the focus of concern became pending Federal
PERFORMANCE?                 Reserve rate hikes. Financial shares were hardest
                             hit, while new life began to stir in technology
                             shares.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR     Strength in earnings tempered with further concerns
THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?         of year-end Fed action will probably continue the
                             markets' roller coaster action of the last several
                             months. Barring any significant Y2K problems, the
                             focus will remain on the Fed's battle to contain
                             any building inflationary pressures.

    period would have been 2.26%, and 28.36% for the one year return.

The performance of the Magna
Growth & Income Fund is measured
against the Standard & Poor's 500
Index and the Lipper Growth &
Income Fund Index. The S&P 500 is
generally representative of the
performance of the domestic large
capitalization stock universe.
The index does not reflect the
deduction of expenses associated
with a mutual fund, such as
investment management and fund
accounting fees. However, the
Lipper Growth & Income Fund
Index, a managed index, and the
Fund's performance do reflect the
deduction of fees for these
value-added services. The Fund's
total returns would have been
lower had certain fees not been
waived during the periods shown.

Investment return and NAV will
fluctuate, so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than the
original cost.

                    MAGNA INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT BOND FUND

                           PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT

      COMMENTS FROM A CONVERSATION WITH L. CLARK ZEDRIC, PORTFOLIO MANAGER

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM     The fund provided a total return of (1.97%)(1)
OVER THE PAST 12-MONTHS,     exclusive of sales loads, for the 12-month period
AND DURING THE FIRST         ended August 31, 1999. In comparison, the Lehman
EIGHT MONTHS OF 1999?        Brothers 6-10 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index
                             rose 0.02% and the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year
                             Government/Corporate Bond Index rose 3.36% for the
                             period.

                             Through August 31, 1999, the Fund's 1999
                             year-to-date total return, exclusive sales charges,
                             was (4.34%).(1) During the same period, the Lehman
                             Brothers 6-10 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index
                             lost 3.51%, and the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year
                             Government/Corporate Bond Index rose 0.92%.

THE FUND'S 12 MONTH RETURN   During the 12 month period, interest rates rose
DECLINED DRAMATICALLY FROM   substantially in the 5-10 year range. The ten year
THE SAME PERIOD ONE YEAR     bond went from 4.97% the end of August 1998 to
EARLIER. WHAT PRIMARILY      5.98% at month-end August 1999. Because bond values
ACCOUNTED FOR THE            rise as interest rates fall, this rise in rates
DECLINE?                     pushed our total return lower. The fund is
                             concentrated in the 5-10 year area.

EVEN THOUGH THE FUND         Yes. As of August 31, 1999 over 67% of the
DECLINED, YOU WERE ABLE      portfolio was invested in Federal Agency Bonds and
TO MAINTAIN A HIGH           U.S. Treasury Notes with the remainder in high
QUALITY PORTFOLIO AND A      quality corporate paper and cash. The Fund's
RELATIVELY GENEROUS          dominant credit rating was AAA; the Fund owns
COUPON RATE.                 nothing below an A rating. As of August 31, 1999
                             the average portfolio coupon rate(2) was almost
                             7.00%.

HOW HAVE YOU POSITIONED THE  An essential part of our strategy is to maintain a
FUND FOR THE COMING YEAR?    "ladder" with bond maturities spread over several
                             years. This helps us to lessen the impact of
                             interest rate fluctuations on the value of the
                             portfolio and ensures that some bonds mature each
                             year. We continue the "ladder" strategy and
                             recently have been extending the length slightly by
                             purchasing some bonds with 10 to 14 years maturity,
                             modestly increasing average life and duration. This
                             action reflects our view that interest rates after
                             rising a full percentage point in the 5-10 year
                             range, may increase slightly but then should
                             decline in the months ahead. We do not want to
                             deviate from our overall strategy. We feel that
                             even though the 5-10 year range was the worst
                             performer in this past year it could very well be
                             the best in the year ahead.

(1) With a maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the total return for the fiscal year
    ended August 31, 1999 would have been (5.88%), and the total return for the
    1999 year-to-date period (through August 31, 1999) would have been (8.13%).

(2) The interest rate stated on the face of a bond represents the percentage of
    interest to be paid by the issuer on the face value of the bond.

*Portfolio composition
subject to change.
Percentages based upon net
assets.

The performance of the Magna
Intermediate Government Bond Fund
is measured against the Lehman
Brothers 1-5-Year
Government/Corporate Bond Index
and the Lehman Brothers 6-10-Year
Government/Corporate Bond Index;
those two indices are unmanaged
and generally represent a range
of 1-5 and 6-10-year maturities.
These indices do not reflect the
deduction of fees associated with
a mutual fund, such as investment
management and fund accounting
fees. The Fund's performance
reflects the deduction of fees
for these value-added services.
The Fund's total returns would
have been lower had certain fees
not been waived during the
periods shown.

Investment return and NAV will
fluctuate, so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than the
original cost.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND FUND DESCRIPTION

Magna Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end, diversified management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as
amended. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 28,
1994, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest in multiple series. Two series commenced investment operations on
September 1, 1994, the Magna Growth & Income Fund and the Magna Intermediate
Government Bond Fund (the "Funds"). One series commenced investment operations
on July 7, 1999, the Magna Money Market Fund.

The investment objective of the Magna Growth & Income Fund is to seek long-term
growth of capital, current income and growth of income. The investment objective
of the Magna Intermediate Government Bond Fund and the Magna Money Market Fund
is to achieve current income consistent with preservation of capital.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation: Equity securities listed on an established securities
exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the closing sale
price on the exchange where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale
during the day, and in the case of over-the-counter securities not so listed, at
the last bid price. Long-term debt securities are valued by a pricing service,
which determines valuations of normal institutional-size trading units of
long-term debt securities. Short-term debt securities having a maturity of 60
days or less from the valuation date are valued at amortized cost which
approximates market value.

Investment Transactions: All securities transactions are recorded on a trade
date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of
securities are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Repurchase Agreements: A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller
at the time it sells securities to the Funds to repurchase the securities at a
mutually agreed upon time and price which, in the case of the Funds'
transactions, is usually within seven days. The total amount received by the
Funds on repurchase agreements is calculated to exceed the price paid by the
Funds, reflecting an agreed upon market rate of interest for the period of time
to the settlement date, and will not necessarily be related to the interest rate
on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United
States government securities. Repurchase agreements will be fully collateralized
at all times. However, to the extent that the proceeds from any sale upon
default in the obligation to repurchase is less than the repurchase price, the
Funds would suffer a loss. Also, the Funds might incur costs and encounter
delays in liquidating collateral.

Deferred Organizational Expenses: The Funds bear all costs in connection with
their organization, including the fees and expenses of registering and
qualifying shares for distribution under Federal and State securities
regulations. All such costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a
period of five years from the dates each Fund commenced operations: September 1,
1994, for the Magna Growth & Income Fund and the Magna Intermediate Government
Bond Fund.

                                   continued
                                       24

                                  MAGNA FUNDS
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

Offering Expenses: All expenses in connection with the Magna Money Market Fund's
organization and registration under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933
were paid by the Fund. Such expenses are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over twelve months beginning with the date of the initial public offering.
The Fund paid $10,808 in offering costs.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: The Magna Intermediate Government
Bond Fund and the Magna Money Market Fund declare dividends from net investment
income daily and make payments monthly. The Magna Growth & Income Fund declares
and pays dividends from net investment income quarterly. Each Fund also
distributes all of its net capital gains, if any, on an annual basis, normally
in December. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income
distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. The differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
mortgage-backed securities, expiring capital loss carryforwards, and deferrals
of certain losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences have been
reclassified among the components of net assets.

Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for
federal tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so
qualifying, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent
that they distribute all of their taxable income, including realized capital
gains, for the fiscal year. In addition, by distributing substantially all of
their net investment income and capital gains during the calendar year, the
Funds will not be subject to a federal excise tax.

Expenses: Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
directly to that Fund. Expenses relating to the Funds collectively are prorated
to the Funds on the basis of each Fund's relative net assets.

Estimates: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to make certain
estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Each Fund has entered into a separate Investment Advisory Agreement with Union
Planters Bank, N.A. ("UPC"). Under these agreements, each Fund pays a fee,
calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the respective average daily net
assets of such Fund. This fee is 0.75% for the Magna Growth & Income Fund, 0.50%
for the Magna Intermediate Government Bond Fund, and 0.40% for the Magna Money
Market Fund. UPC has voluntarily agreed to reduce its fees with respect to the
Magna Growth & Income Fund to 0.50% and with respect to the Magna Intermediate
Government Bond Fund to 0.40% of daily net assets through August 31, 1999. Also,
the UPC has voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee for the Magna Money Market Fund
to 0.17% of daily net assets through August 31, 2000. This voluntary reduction
has been in effect since September 1, 1995 for the Growth & Income Fund and the
Intermediate Government Bond Fund; the Magna Money Market Fund has been in
effect since July 7, 1999. For the period ended August 31, 1999, UPC voluntarily
waived investment advisory fees of $322,563, $77,435, and $55,293 for the Magna
Growth & Income Fund, Magna Intermediate Government Bond Fund, and the Magna
Money Market Fund, respectively.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (unaudited)

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999, 100% of the dividends distributed by
the Magna Growth & Income Fund qualified for the dividends-received deduction
for corporate shareholders.

The Magna Growth & Income Fund capital gain dividend distributions from
long-term capital gains for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999 was
$2,809,929, of which, $2,809,929 was taxed at 20%.

As of August 31, 1999, the Magna Intermediate Government Bond Fund had a capital
loss carryover of $96,095 which will expire in 2004 to offset any future net
capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To
the extent that this carryover is used to offset future capital gains, it is
probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

As of August 31, 1999, the Magna Money Market Fund has a post October 31, 1998
loss of $1,562. Capital losses incurred after October 31, 1998 within the fund's
fiscal year, may be deferred and treated as incurring the first day of the
following year. The Magna Money Market Fund has elected to defer this loss until
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Trustees
  Magna Funds

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations
and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Magna Growth & Income Fund, Magna
Intermediate Government Bond Fund and Magna Money Market Fund (separate
portfolios constituting Magna Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at
August 31, 1999, the results of each of their operations for the period then
ended, the changes in each of their net assets for the periods presented, and
the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Funds' management, our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
