LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
June 30, 2006
ARTHUR D. ALLY
As I write this, our world seems full of turmoil and conflict. In spite of that, I am pleased to report that neither the markets nor our funds have performed too badly during the first half of 2006 as you can see from this semi-annual report.
Actually, I could make that same statement about the past 30 years. In fact, I would like to share an historical perspective with you: Over the 30 year period (January 1, 1976 thru December 31, 2005) the market, as measured by the S&P 500 Stock Index (an unmanaged index in which an investor cannot invest), experienced the following results1:
| • | Decreased by over 20% in only one of those years, |
| • | Decreased by less than 20% in five of those years, |
| • | Increased by less than 20% in eleven of those years, and |
| • | Increased by over 20% in thirteen of those years |
Of course, past performance can never be considered to be an indication of future results but isn’t that interesting from a historical perspective?
As for a current perspective, our various Timothy Plan money managers agree that both the stock and bond markets could continue to be difficult for the remainder of this year. Nevertheless, each of them has expressed confidence that we should be able to close this year in positive territory.
I would also like to point out that each of our managers has subscribed to our policy that preservation of principal is job #1 so, even though short-term market movements are impossible to accurately predict on a consistent basis, they are all proceeding accordingly.
In the meantime, our unwavering commitment to morally responsible investing remains firmly in place. This is what our Lord has called us to do and it is simply not negotiable.
I am also pleased to report that our Biblical Stewardship Seminar Series is now being taught by numerous certified instructors in churches throughout our land. If you would like information about having this course taught in your church, please call us at 1-800-846-7526.
Once again, thank you for being part of the Timothy Plan family.
Sincerely,
Arthur D. Ally,
President

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited):
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as wire fees and low balance fees; and indirect costs, including management fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs,” (in dollars) of investing in the Fund, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the 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 “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

FUND PROFILE

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance 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 direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.
| Beginning Account Value January 1, 2006 | Ending Account Value | Expenses Paid During Period* January 1, 2006 Through June 30, 2006 | |||||||
Actual | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,030.40 | $ | 6.04 | |||
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | 1,000.00 | 1,018.80 | 6.01 | ||||||
| * | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.20%, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 days/365 days (to reflect the one-half year period). The Fund’s ending account value on the first line in the table is based on its actual total return of 3.04% for the six-month period of January 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
SMALL CAP VARIABLE SERIES
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
The Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series (the “Fund”) was organized as a diversified series of The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-ended investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1993 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Fund’s primary objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) while abiding by ethical standards established for investments by the Fund. The Fund is one of a series of funds currently authorized by the Board of Trustees. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation.
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price on the last business day of the period. Securities for which quotations are not available are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment manager, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to the review and supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Unlisted securities, or listed securities in which there were no sales, are valued at the closing bid. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
The Fund generally determines the total value of its shares by using market prices for the securities comprising its portfolio. Securities for which quotations are not available and any other assets are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by each Fund’s investment manager, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to the review and supervision of the Board.
The Board has delegated to the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the Adviser or Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by the Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The Adviser must prepare a report for the Board not less than quarterly containing a complete listing of any securities for which fair value pricing was employed and detailing the specific reasons for such fair value pricing. The Trust has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the Adviser and Sub-Advisers with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.
The Fund generally invests the vast majority of its assets in frequently traded exchange listed securities of domestic issuers with relatively liquid markets and calculates its NAV as of the time those exchanges close. The Fund typically does not invest in securities on foreign exchanges or in illiquid or restricted securities. Accordingly, there may be very limited circumstances under which the Fund would hold securities that would need to be fair value priced.
B. Investment Income and Securities Transactions.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
C. Net Asset Value Per Share.
Net asset value per share of the capital stock of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

D. Federal Income Taxes.
It is the policy of the Fund to continue to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
E. Use of Estimates.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Note 2 – Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, aggregated $1,228,162 and $1,843,649 respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Note 3 – Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Timothy Partners, Ltd., (“TPL”) is the investment adviser for the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) that was renewed by the Board on February 25, 2005. Under the terms of the Agreement, TPL receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and reimburse other expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses, excluding brokerage commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses, interest, taxes, capital expenditures and extraordinary expenses, to 1.20% of average daily net assets through the life of the Fund. As a result, TPL has waived a portion of their fee and reimbursed the Fund for expenses in excess of the limit in the amount of $10,849 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in the future. Any waiver or reimbursement by TPL is subject to repayment by the Fund within the following three fiscal years if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding its current expense limitation. An officer and trustee of the Fund is also an officer of the Adviser.
TPL earned advisory fees of $23,966 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Fund did not owe advisory fees to TPL at June 30, 2006.
At June 30, 2006, the cumulative amounts available for reimbursement that has been paid and/or waived by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund are as follows:
