LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December, 2006

Dear Hennessy Funds Shareholder:

As I look at the last number of letters I’ve written to our shareholders, I realize that the message seems to be exactly the same - that the economy is in good shape and that the market should continue to grow. As I write this letter, I still truly believe that is the case! At Hennessy Funds, we look at current and historical quantitative data, ignoring the sensational media headlines, to make our investing decisions. It is that same data that leads us to our current view of the economy and the stock market. We maintain our optimistic opinion that the market is poised for continued, moderate growth as we move into 2007. Major economic indicators, such as unemployment, inflation and interest rates, remain at favorable levels. We expect corporate profits to continue to increase in the 10-15% range, which alone should be enough to propel the markets higher by that amount in the coming year.

During the past couple of years, we have experienced steady market growth supported by underlying revenue growth. However, we have seen revenue growth outpacing stock price growth, meaning that we believe stock prices are generally undervalued and have room to grow. We also see that the major market indices are currently undervalued versus their historical averages based on price to sales, which is the criteria that we use in our portfolios to determine a stock’s relative value. The Dow is undervalued by approximately 5% and the S&P 500 is undervalued by approximately 9%. Based on these findings, we believe that market has the ability to not only gain the 10-15% that corporate profits growth would suggest, but it could potentially experience an additional gain of between 5 and 9%. Based on our analysis, this excess return would bring the market more in line with its historical averages, putting the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 14,000 by the end of 2007.

Despite good market performance and positive economic indicators, the market is not experiencing the euphoria that we have seen in the past with technology or real estate stocks. Some investors continue to sit on the sidelines waiting for a huge surge in performance before investing more heavily. We believe, however, that smart investors understand we are in a continued bull market, and are investing accordingly.

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.hennessyfunds.com. Performance shown does not reflect a 1.5% redemption fee on shares held for less than 90 days. If it did, total returns would be reduced.

For the twelve months ending October 31, 2006, we saw strong performance among large-cap, dividend paying stocks. For the first time in a number of years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average outperformed the S&P 500, with the high dividend-yielding “Dogs of the Dow” leading the pack. Energy, commodities and industrial stocks have been particularly volatile over the past twelve months, but oil prices seem to finally be settling down.

We are committed to maximizing long-term performance results for our investors by following our disciplined investment formulas, and we refuse to manipulate short-term results in order to try and meet or beat our benchmark indices. We are pleased with the performance of our funds over the past year, as we are with their longer term performance. For the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2006, the Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund and Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II underperformed their benchmark indices. The Hennessy Focus 30 Fund outperformed the mid cap index, but lagged the S&P 500 Index slightly. For the period, the Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund returned 13.59%, and the Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II

HENNESSY FUNDS 1-800-966-4354

returned 15.97%, versus the S&P 500 at 16.34% and the Russell 2000 at 19.98%. The Hennessy Focus 30 Fund returned 16.18%, versus the S&P 500 at 16.34% and the S&P 400 Midcap Index at 13.43%. There was significant volatility in the energy, industrial and materials stocks in these three portfolios, and performance of those stocks was mixed during the twelve-month period, with some companies delivering well above average returns and some with well below average returns. We believe that choosing individual stocks, not sectors, is the best way to build a portfolio, and performance of these three funds versus their benchmark indices for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2006 can primarily be attributed to individual stock performance:

Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund: A variety of industrial stocks, including General Cable Corp., Manitowoc, Emcor Group and Amerco (parent company of UHaul), were portfolio leaders. Energy stocks Holly Corp. and Frontier Oil did well, however Sunoco and Oil States International showed poor performance during the period. Consumer discretionary stocks Escala Group and Six Flags experienced significant declines, which hurt the overall performance of the Fund.

Hennessy Focus 30 Fund: Materials stock Allegheny Technologies was the top performing stock in the fund, while Quanex was among the bottom performers. Industrial stocks McDermott International and Flowserve Corp. performed well, while Labor Ready did not. Healthcare companies WellCare Health Plans and Humana also performed well, however, consumer discretionary stock Building Materials Holding negatively affected the performance of the Fund.

Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II: Because this Fund rebalances in the summer, both the previous and current portfolios affected performance for the period. In the previous portfolio, purchased in Summer, 2005, Andersons Inc. was a top performing stock. Industrial stocks Badger Meter and Clean Harbors Inc. performed well, as did energy stocks Frontier Oil and Transmontaigne. Poor performance from home builders Standard Pacific, KB Home, Hovnanian and Ryland Group significantly hurt the performance of the previous portfolio. Within the current portfolio, purchased in Summer, 2006, AEP Industries, Casual Male and Meadowbrook Insurance Group are showing strong performance.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

As a note to our Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II shareholders, we are changing the fiscal year end of this Fund from June 30th to October 31st, to coincide with the fiscal year of our other Funds. Because of this, we also need to report performance of the Fund for that period. For the four-month period ending October 31, 2006, the Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II returned -4.47%, versus the S&P 500 Index at 9.11% and the Russell 200 Index at 6.22%. During the period, the underperformance of transportation stocks Old Dominion Freight, Universal Truckload Services and Arkansas Best Corp hurt the performance of the current Growth II portfolio. In addition, poor short-term returns from energy stocks Alon USA Energy, and FMC Technologies further hampered performance.

Our large-cap funds, which each select high dividend-paying stocks, fared better than our mid and small-cap funds for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2006. The Hennessy Cornerstone Value Fund and Hennessy Total Return Fund each outperformed their benchmark indices, while the Hennessy Balanced Fund underperformed slightly. The Hennessy Cornerstone Value Fund returned 21.00% for the twelve months ending October 31, 2006, while the S&P 500 returned 16.34% and the Russell 1000 returned 16.02% for the same period. The Cornerstone Value Fund had strong performance from stocks BellSouth, Merck, ING Groep and Reynolds American. Forty six of the 50, or 92% of the stocks in the Cornerstone Value Fund portfolio reported positive returns for the twelve-month period.

The Hennessy Total Return Fund returned 22.48% for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2006, and the Hennessy Balanced Fund returned 14.92%, versus the S&P 500 Index at 16.34% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 18.47%. Each of the “Dogs of the Dow”, the ten highest dividend-yielding stocks in the Dow Jones, which are the stocks included in both the Total Return and Balanced portfolios, had positive returns for the twelve-month period. Performance of both Funds was led by Merck, AT&T, J.P. Morgan Chase and General Motors. Despite strong performance from these stocks, the relatively low returns from short-term U.S. Treasury bills, which make up approximately half of the portfolio of the Hennessy Balanced Fund, caused that Fund to underperform its benchmarks.

We know that investing success comes from time in the market, not timing the market, so at Hennessy Funds we remain committed to our time-tested investment formulas. First and foremost, we remain committed to you, our shareholders, and we will always manage the

portfolios with your best interest in mind. Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in the Funds. Should you have any questions or want to speak with us directly, please don’t hesitate to call us at

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Small and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risk and differences in accounting methods.

The Hennessy Total Return and Balanced Funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund, making it more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund.

References to specific securities should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Fund holdings are subject to change. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments within this annual report for additional portfolio information, including percentages of holdings.

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2006

1). ORGANIZATION

The Hennessy Mutual Funds, Inc. was organized as a Maryland corporation on May 20, 1996 and consists of three separate series: Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”), Hennessy Cornerstone Value Fund (the “Value Fund”) and the Hennessy Focus 30 Fund (the “Focus 30 Fund”), formerly SYM Select Growth Fund. These Funds are open-end, diversified management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Growth Fund and Value Fund commenced operations on November 1, 1996. On September 17, 2003, Hennessy Advisors, Inc. became the investment advisor to the SYMSelect Growth Fund and changed its name to the Hennessy Focus 30 Fund.

The Hennessy Funds, Inc. was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 11, 1996 and consists of two separate series: Hennessy Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”) and Hennessy Total Return Fund (the “Total Return Fund”). The Balanced and Total Return Funds are open-end, non-diversified management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Balanced Fund and Total Return Fund commenced operations on March 8, 1996 and July 29, 1998, respectively.

The Hennessy Funds Trust was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on September 17, 1992 and consists of a sole series: Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II (the “Growth II Fund”). Prior to July 1, 2005, both the Trust and Fund were known as The Henlopen Fund. On July 1, 2005, Hennessy Advisors, Inc., became the investment advisor to the fund and the fund changed its name from “The Henlopen Fund” to “Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund, Series II”. The Growth II Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Growth Fund, Growth II Fund, Focus 30 Fund, Value Fund, Total Return Fund and Balanced Fund collectively represent the Hennessy Funds (the “Funds”).

2). SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

a).

Investment Valuation - Securities which are traded on a national or recognized stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Exchange-traded securities for which there were no transactions that day and debt securities are valued at the most recent bid prices. Instruments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis. When a price for an underlying security is not readily available or if a significant

HENNESSY FUNDS 1-800-966-4354

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

event has occurred that indicates the closing price of a security no longer represents the true value of that security, fair value pricing procedures have been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Funds. Fair value pricing determinations are made in good faith in accordance with these procedures. There are numerous criteria that will be given consideration in determining a fair value of a security. Some of these criteria are: trading volume of security and markets, value of other like securities and news events with direct bearing to security or market. Fair value pricing results in an estimated price that reasonably reflects the current market conditions in order to rate the portfolio holdings such that shareholder transactions receive a fair net asset value.

b).

Federal Income Taxes - Provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has not been made since the Funds have elected to be taxed as “regulated investment companies” and intend to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Net investment income and realized gains and losses for federal income tax purposes may differ from that reported on the financial statements because of temporary book and tax basis differences. Temporary differences are primarily the result of the treatment of wash sales for tax reporting purposes. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income to shareholders for tax purposes.

Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses, and realized gains/losses under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the 2006 fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Growth Fund had a $2,547,605 permanent book and tax basis difference relating to the Fund’s net operating loss which resulted in an increase in accumulated net investment income and a decrease in paid-in capital. The Growth II Fund had a $207,230 permanent book and tax basis difference relating to the Growth II Fund’s net operating loss which resulted in an increase in accumulated net investment income and a decrease in paid-in capital. The Focus 30 Fund had a $1,552,126 permanent book and tax basis difference relating to the Fund’s net operating loss which resulted in an increase in accumulated net investment income and decrease in paid in capital. The Value Fund had a $32,310,253 permanent book and tax basis difference relating to the expiration of the Fund’s prior year capital loss carry forward which resulted in an increase in accumulated realized gain and a decrease in accumulated paid-in capital.

c).	Income and Expenses - Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to the portfolio, such as advisory, administration and certain shareholder service fees.

WWW.HENNESSYFUNDS.COM

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

d).

Distributions to Shareholder - Dividends from net investment income for the Growth, Growth II, Focus 30 and Value Funds, if any, are declared and paid out annually, usually in November or December of each year. Dividends from net investment income for the Total Return and Balanced Funds are declared and paid on a calendar quarter basis. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually, usually in November or December of each year, for all of the Funds.

e).

Security Transactions - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective security.

f).

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 change in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

g).

Share Valuation - The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds charge a 1.50% redemption fee on shares held less than 90 days. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Funds will retain the fee charged as paid-in capital and such fees become part of that Fund’s daily NAV calculation.

h).

Repurchase Agreements - Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with member banks or security dealers of the Federal Reserve whom the investment advisor deems creditworthy. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient, in the event of default of 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.

i).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the

HENNESSY FUNDS 1-800-966-4354

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

course of preparing the Funds tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact on each of the Fund’s financial statements has not yet been determined.

In September 2006, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on their financial statements.

3). REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Total Return Fund has entered into reverse repurchase agreements with UBS PaineWebber, Inc., under which the Total Return Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them later at a mutually agreed upon price. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the average daily balance and average interest rate in effect for reverse repurchase agreements was $29,220,532 and 4.739%, respectively. At October 31, 2006, the interest rate in effect for the outstanding reverse repurchase agreement, scheduled to mature on November 16, 2006 ($12,460,000), December 21, 2006 ($14,368,000) and January 18, 2007 ($12,572,000) were 5.31%, 5.25% and 5.15% and was equal to 34.79% of the Total Return Fund’s total assets.

4). INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

5). INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Hennessy Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is the Advisor of the Funds. The Advisor provides the Funds with investment management services under a Management Agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. As compensation for

WWW.HENNESSYFUNDS.COM

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee from each Fund. The fee is based upon the average daily net assets of the Funds at the annual rate of:

Growth Fund	0.74%
Growth II Fund	0.74%
Focus 30 Fund	0.74%
Value Fund	0.74%
Total Return Fund	0.60%
Balanced Fund	0.60%

The Board of Directors has approved a Shareholder Servicing Plan which was instituted to compensate the Advisor for the non-investment management services it provides to the Growth, Growth II, Focus 30 and Value Funds. The Plan provides for a monthly fee paid to the Advisor at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Growth, Growth II, Focus 30 and Value Funds.

The Growth Fund, Growth II Fund, Focus 30 Fund and Value Fund have entered into agreements with various brokers, dealers and financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of shares of the Funds. The agreements provide for periodic payments by the Funds to the brokers, dealers and financial intermediaries for providing certain shareholder maintenance services (sub-transfer agent expenses). These shareholder services include: the pre-processing and quality control of new accounts, shareholder correspondence, answering customer inquiries regarding account status and facilitating shareholder telephone transactions. Fees paid by the Growth Fund, Focus 30 Fund and Value Fund to various brokers, dealers and financial intermediaries for the year ended October 31, 2006, were $1,484,374, $229,790 and $66,289, respectively. Fees paid by the Growth II Fund to various brokers, dealers and financial intermediaries for the four months ended October 31, 2006 were $95,515 and for the year ended June 30, 2006 were $340,607.

The Total Return and Balanced Funds have adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 which authorizes payments in connection with the distribution of the Total Return and Balanced Fund shares at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Amounts paid under the Plan may be spent on any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of shares, including but not limited to, advertising, compensation for sales and marketing activities or financial institutions and others such as dealers and distributors, shareholder account servicing, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current shareowners and the printing and mailing of sales literature.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”) acts as the Funds’ Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the directors; monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Funds’ expenses and reviews the Funds’ expense accruals. Fees paid to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC for the year ended October 31, 2006, were $2,904,210, $544,031, $439,657, $205,097 and $49,197 for Growth, Focus 30, Value, Total Return and Balanced Funds, respectively.

6). SECURITIES LENDING

The Growth and Value Funds had entered into a securities lending arrangement with the custodian. Under the terms of the agreement, the custodian was authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers against the receipt of cash collateral at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The cash collateral was invested by the custodian in a money market pooled account approved by the Advisor. Although risk was mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could have experienced a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower failed to return them. The agreement provided that after predetermined rebates to the brokers, the income generated from lending transactions was allocated 60% to the Fund and 40% to the custodian.

Expense Example

October 31, 2006 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.

Actual Expenses

The first set of lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales loads or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares less than 90 calendar days after you purchase them. IRA accounts will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee. The example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, shareholder servicing fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, interest expense or dividends on short positions taken by the Fund and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information within these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six-month period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second set of lines within the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange

fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period(1)
	5/1/06	10/31/06	5/1/06 - 10/31/06

Growth II Fund	$1,000.00	$ 876.80	$ 5.91
Focus 30 Fund	$1,000.00	$ 915.70	$ 5.84
Value Fund	$1,000.00	$1,091.50	$ 6.06
Total Return Fund	$1,000.00	$1,125.80	$15.00
Balanced Fund	$1,000.00	$1,089.00	$ 7.06

before expenses)
Growth Fund	$1,000.00	$1,019.11	$ 6.16
Growth II Fund	$1,000.00	$1,018.90	$ 6.36
Focus 30 Fund	$1,000.00	$1,019.11	$ 6.16
Value Fund	$1,000.00	$1,019.41	$ 5.85
Total Return Fund	$1,000.00	$1,011.09	$14.19
Balanced Fund	$1,000.00	$1,018.45	$ 6.82

(1)

Expenses are equal to the Growth Fund’s expense ratio of 1.21%, the Growth IIFund’s expense ratio of 1.25%, the Focus 30 Fund’s expense ratio of 1.21%, the Value Fund’s expense ratio of 1.15%, the Total Return Fund’s expense ratio of 2.80%, and the Balanced Fund’s expense ratio of 1.34%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent half-year/365 days (to reflect one-half year period).

This report has been prepared for shareholders and may be distributed to others only if preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. At this time, the registrant believes that the experience provided by each member of the audit committee together offers the registrant adequate oversight for the registrant’s level of financial complexity.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.


	FYE 10/31/06	FYE 06/30/06
Audit Fees	$16,000	$16,000
Audit-Related Fees		��
Tax Fees	3,600	3,600
All Other Fees

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. (If more than 50 percent of the accountant’s hours were spent to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, state how many hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.)

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
