The Morgan Stanley Capital Index-Europe, Australia and the Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE) is an unmanaged Morgan Stanley Capital International Index that is designed to measure the performance of the developed stock markets of Europe, Australia and the Far East. Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500 Index"), is a widely recognized index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Standard & Poor's 500/Barra Value Index (the "S&P 500/Barra Value Index"), is constructed by dividing the stocks in the S&P 500 Index into two categories, growth and value, according to price-to-book ratios. Gross Domestic Product (the "GDP"), is the measure of the market value of the goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States. Price-to-Earnings Ratio (the "P/E Ratio"), is a valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings. The above indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in the underlying securities. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT FINANCIAL MARKETS IN REVIEW Dear MMA Praxis Shareholder: As the second quarter drew to a close, the market seemed more inclined to go out with a whimper than with a bang. After the gut-wrenching highs and lows of the past few years, this year's market has been in something of a holding pattern. Investors have been holding back ahead of a widely anticipated hike in interest rates at the end of June, and rising commodity prices have prompted new worries about inflation. On the plus side, the economic recovery has proved more robust than originally anticipated, with jobs growth well above previous expectations. But the real test of a sustainable recovery lies with bottom-line profits, and investors have been in wait-and-see mode ahead of second-quarter corporate earnings reports, due out in July. Add in the normal uncertainty of an election year, plus continued threats of terrorism and political instability in Iraq and other areas of the world, and you've got a wall of worry that's tough to climb. With most of the positives offset with negatives, returns on most asset classes were quite muted. The following chart highlights the returns of several widely followed indices: FIRST QUARTER 2004 SECOND QUARTER 2004 YEAR-TO-DATE RETURNS ------------------ ------------------- -------------------- S&P 500 Index(1) 1.69% 1.72% 3.44% ---- ----- ---- Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(1) 2.66% -2.44% 0.15% ---- ----- ---- S&P 500/Barra Value Index(1) 3.35% 0.80% 4.17% ---- ----- ---- MSCI EAFE Index(1) 4.34% 0.22% 4.56% ---- ----- ---- With optimism about the economic recovery weighed down with uncertainty, investors sought refuge in larger-cap stocks - reversing the trend from the previous several quarters, when smaller-cap stocks pulled well ahead of their bigger counterparts. Large company stocks generally out-performed their smaller cousins. Among investing styles, growth stocks generally fared better than value issues, but size had a bigger impact on performance than style. SNAPSHOT OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AND THE ECONOMY MMA's investment managers believe that most asset classes are close to their fair value ranges. Within these ranges, we believe valuations are somewhat better than they were earlier in the year when many equity-type asset classes approached overvalued levels. Since then, prices have declined and fundamentals have improved. The improvement is perhaps most noticeable with respect to U.S. stocks. The surge in earnings has contributed to more reasonable price/earn- ings metrics for many stocks. However, we continue to believe that investors should expect more subdued returns from stocks over the next five years (with volatility along the way), with average annual returns in the mid to upper single digit range. - -------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices. 1 With each passing month the economy gets stronger and we believe the United States is in a healthy recovery. Over the last year, real (inflation-adjusted) Gross Domestic Product(1) (GDP) grew at the fastest rate in 20 years. Though we believe the level of economic stimulus will decline going forward, and the economy will not maintain its recent pace, we believe the general economic pic- ture looks solid for the near future. Profits have boomed. Because profits suffered an unusually severe crash, the rebound has been almost as amazing. Cash profit margins are at levels not seen in decades, and the level of profits as a percentage of GDP, at over 10 percent, is extremely high. Obviously, this won't last forever. In our opinion, profit growth will definitely slow, but for the time being profi ts continue to surprise on the upside even while they slow. Not surprisingly then, inflation is picking up (more than 3 percent over the past 12 months) and rates have backed up in the bond market as a result, with the 10-year Treasury yield about one percentage point above its incredibly low level last summer. The virtual certainty of the Federal Reserve System raising short-term interest rates (which has now begun) has contributed to nervousness in the stock market. But it is important to understand that we believe rates are rising because the economy is getting stronger, and this is reflected in rising profits. A FEW COMMENTS ON RISK, EQUILIBRIUM, AND OPPORTUNITY Most investors normally think of risk in terms of cyclical risks, structural risks, geopolitical risks, and sometimes, secular factors. These days, however, the risks most often mentioned are oil prices and their impact on the economy, China's overheating economy, terrorism, and interest rates. These risks, with the exception of the terrorism wild card, don't seem worse than we've typically observed over the years. Financial asset valuations seem consistent with this observation, reflecting investors' willingness to take some risk, and perhaps their recognition that this could be a benign cycle with satisfactory returns supported by only moderate increases in inflation and interest rates. At the same time there is not a high level of optimism priced into financial assets, as investors understand that there are risks, including the hard-to-assess terrorism factor. So things seem to be in equilibrium for now. Equilibrium may sound like a healthy thing but we believe the real opportunity for investors is when things are not in equilibrium. MMA's investment process helps us deal with a complex and uncertain world and helps in our search for stocks and bonds selling at attractive prices. A disciplined focus on asset valuations is the key component. In our opinion this allows us to base decisions on what is "knowable," which really means what can be confidently evaluated. This analysis is most valuable when financial asset prices are out of balance, as they were a few years ago when value stocks and high-yield bonds were cheap and technology and large-cap growth stocks were massively overpriced. These are the opportunities we look for because we believe the odds for significant, long-term payoffs are so compelling. Unfortunately, great bargains are not an every-year occurrence and we are forced to wait patiently for the excesses of the market to create compelling opportunities. As previously noted, we believe that portfolio returns could be decent, though not spectacular, over the coming years compared to average inflation levels. At some point along the way, some of the risks discussed (or others not discussed) will turn into reality and there will be temporary losses. It is these "opportunities" that patient investors wait for. This is why truly long-term investors should welcome temporary market declines as an opportunity to buy assets on sale. - -------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

Ten months after revelations that some fund companies were striking deals with favored investors that resulted in cheating long-term shareholders, virtually every aspect of how mutual funds are run and sold is being scrutinized or reconsidered. Many of the changes rippling through the mutual fund world are, of course, being made under orders from regulators or threats of legislation in Congress. New rules from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are forcing enhanced compliance procedures to make sure that funds are following the rules and that fund boards are both independent and fully engaged in providing appropriate oversight. As a result, mutual fund directors, even those who have been doing their job well, are taking a fresh look at their practices. With this in mind, MMA management felt that shareholders would appreciate hearing from the independent directors who have been elected by you to provide fiduciary oversight of the funds that have been entrusted to MMA Praxis Mutual Funds. Elsewhere in this report, you can hear directly from the Trustees on matters of compliance, oversight, and stewardship. We hope you find these interviews helpful and informative. PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE Investment Concerns: CORE STOCK FUND: Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. INTERMEDIATE INCOME FUND: Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates. INTERNATIONAL FUND: International investing involves increased risk and volatility. Among others, additional risks include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, differences among various countries in how taxes are computed and paid, differences in accounting standards which can result in different valuations for similar companies, and differences in auditing and financial reporting practices. VALUE INDEX FUND: Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Securities indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and interest payments and do not take in account brokerage fees or expenses. Securities in the fund do not match those in the indexes and performance of the fund will differ. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. - ------- PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

The performance over the longer term is also noteworthy. Most importantly, over the past five years, this fund's A share (NAV) has outperformed the S&P 500 on a net basis, after expenses. Lipper, a widely used mutual fund research service, designated the Core Stock Fund A share (NAV) as a Lipper Leader based on its preservation of principal and for Tax Efficiency for the period ended June 30, 2004.(2) MMA PRAXIS INTERMEDIATE INCOME FUND Year to date through June 30, 2004, the Intermediate Income Fund A share (NAV) delivered performance of 0.02 percent.* Against the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index(1), it lagged by the slight margin of 15 basis points (0.15%)* on a net (after expenses) basis. The longer-term returns for this fund (A Share NAV) are 0.11 percent, 5.52 percent, and 6.09 percent for the trailing one, five and ten years respectively.* MMA PRAXIS INTERNATIONAL FUND This fund had two outstanding years in 1998 and 1999. However, from 2000 forward, the fund has performed at unacceptable levels. At the end of 2003, shareholders approved a recommendation from management and the trustees to replace the subadvisor who had managed the fund since inception. After an extensive search, led by Morningstar's institutional consulting division, we selected Evergreen Investment Management Co. to assume management responsibilities for this fund. Evergreen's international investment management team has been in place for nearly 13 years, and over this time period has developed an enviable track record of delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. Unfortunately, performance during the first six months of their stewardship has not been good. Year to date through June 30, 2004, the fund's A share (NAV) has generated a return of 0.64 percent, lagging its benchmark by nearly 4 percent.* Although we are obviously disappointed in the performance of Evergreen for their very short-term performance, we remain confident of their proven ability that should deliver competitive, risk-adjusted long-term returns for MMA Praxis International Fund shareholders. - ---------- * Returns shown are at Net Asset Value (NAV) and do not reflect the maximum front-end sales charge or applicable deferred sales charge.

(2) Lipper ratings for Preservation reflect funds' historical loss avoidance relative to other funds within the same asset class, as of 6/30/04. Preservation ratings are relative, rather than absolute, measures, and funds named Lipper Leaders for Preservation may still experience losses periodically; those losses may be larger for equity and mixed equity funds than for fixed income funds. Lipper ratings for Tax Efficiency reflect funds' historical success in postponing taxable distributions relative to peers as of 6/30/04. Tax Efficiency offers no benefit to investors in tax-sheltered accounts such as 401(k) plans. The Lipper ratings are subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Preservation and Tax Efficiency metrics over three-, five-, and ten-year periods (if applicable). The highest 20% of funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leaders, the next 20% receive a score of 2, the middle 20% are scored 3, the next 20% are scored 4, and the lowest 20% are scored 5. MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund was rated among 7,326 Large Cap Core funds for Preservation, and 799 Large Cap Core funds for Tax Efficiency. Lipper ratings are not intended to predict future results, and Lipper does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. The Lipper rankings are based on total return and do not reflect a sales charge. More information is available at www.lipperleaders.com. Lipper Leader Copyright 2002, Reuters, All Rights Reserved.

For the first six months of 2004, the fund (A Share NAV) posted a return of 2.41 percent*, which lagged both the Barra Value Index.(1) For a more detailed description of those factors that contributed to the fund's underperformance, please read the portfolio managers' commentary found later in this report. CONCLUSION At MMA, we continue to espouse the firm conviction that socially conscious investing, and the alignment of faith, values, and financial decisions can, and does, make a difference. This difference is manifested in a double bottom-line benefit. First, ongoing and proactive investing in companies, which the investor deems to be engaged in socially desirable activities or practices, can provide for competitive investment returns. Numerous academic research studies clearly reinforce this contention (see www.sristudies.org). Secondly, individual and institutional investors are increasingly exploiting the opportunity to drive their core values and missions through shareholder engagement by entering into meaningful dialogue with company management. At MMA, we have focused our initiatives in those areas where we feel we can make a material difference in the lives of those who are marginalized and powerless. For an update on our work in this area, please be sure to read Mark Regier's Stewardship Investing Update in this report. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with you in helping you meet your financial goals. We will continue to work hard to help you realize a "double bottom-line" return on the funds you have entrusted to us. Sincerely, /s/ John L. Liechty - ---------------------- John L.

We posed the following questions to our independent trustees: [PHOTO OF KAREN HARDER] [PHOTO OF RICHARD REIMER] [PHOTO OF CLAIR SAUDER] [PHOTO OF DONALD E. SHOWALTER] [PHOTO OF AL YODER] Q: WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY FOR A MUTUAL FUND TRUSTEE? An independent mutual fund trustee must have the qualities of integrity and optimism about the work he/she does in playing a small, but important, part in maintaining the integrity of the American financial system. The trustees must be mindful that the sponsor needs to be motivated to good performance and remain financially healthy and vibrant in order to meet the ever-changing economic and regulatory environment in which it operates - Donald E. Showalter An understanding of the mutual fund industry and business environment within which it functions; a strong belief in the "rightness" of socially responsible investing from the perspective of a Christian/Anabaptist based system of values. - - Karen Harder In addition to the expected qualities of a mutual fund trustee, an MMA Praxis trustee should have an understanding and appreciation for the core values and mission of MMA. - Clair Sauder Certainly a basic knowledge of financial markets is essential and beyond that, taking time to keep abreast of what is happening in the financial field as well as current economic conditions. Perhaps even more important is the ability to listen and make sound judgements about various issues faced by mutual funds. - - Richard Reimer Q: HOW HAVE THE MUTUAL FUND SCANDALS IMPACTED YOUR ROLE AS A TRUSTEE OF THE MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS? As a trustee, I have the responsibility to represent shareholder interests, in terms of the return they receive on their investments. I also represent the interests of MMA Praxis Mutual Funds investors in the essential relationships between fund management, service providers, and the mutual fund regulatory agencies. - Karen Harder The many new regulations imposed on the work of trustees as a result of the numerous scandals have given increased responsibility to independent trustees as they work on audit committees, nominating committees, etc. These new regulations require an increase in time and commitment on the part of a trustee. - Clair Sauder The recent scandals have certainly reminded us all that trustees are responsible for the conduct and performance of the funds. Therefore, I try to keep up with the legal changes affecting mutual funds and to make certain that the funds are in compliance as well as to continue to carefully monitor performance. - Richard Reimer 6 Q: HOW DO YOU EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS WHO MANAGE SHAREHOLDER FUNDS? As a trustee, I evaluate the performance of the investment managers in two basic areas: 1. The economic performance of each fund as measured by the benchmarks to which each fund's performance is compared. 2. The evaluation of how the fund managers adhere to the various risks to investors as disclosed in the fund's prospectus. - Donald E. Showalter Return on investment compared to the industry and the benchmark. Also, complying with the stated MMA Praxis mission statement. - Al Yoder Q: THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY IS UNDERGOING RAPID CHANGE. HOW DO YOU STAY ABREAST OF THESE CHANGES? The trustee must read and be prepared to do independent research. Each trustee spends considerable time with industry publications, Wall Street Journal and independent fund publications such as Morningstar reports. - Donald E. Showalter I try to do as much reading as possible: this includes materials distributed by MMA, BISYS, and our legal counsel. In addition, I try to keep up by reading daily newspapers and financial periodicals. - Richard Reimer Q: IN A NUTSHELL, WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY CARRIED BY AN MMA PRAXIS TRUSTEE? The trustee's most important duty is to protect the interests of the shareholder, which are primarily to make their money grow and/or to preserve their capital in funds they have selected to meet these needs in a framework of socially conscious faith-based investing. - Donald E. Showalter I believe my most important responsibility is to represent the interests of each MMA Praxis shareholder by assuring that the funds' activities are conducted within the stewardship investing guidelines and that our investment objectives are met. - Clair Sauder To make certain, to the extent possible, that the funds are following all of the relevant legal provisions and to evaluate the performance of the fund managers. - - Richard Reimer Q: WHAT MAKES MMA PRAXIS DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER MUTUAL FUNDS AVAILABLE TO INVESTORS? We have a faith-driven values philosophy. - Al Yoder MMA Praxis provides an opportunity for people who want their faith and values to be reflected in the way their investment assets are managed. MMA Praxis shareholders also know that, where appropriate, we challenge companies whose operations do not meet our stewardship investing philosophy. - Clair Sauder 7 MMA PRAXIS STEWARDSHIP INVESTING UPDATE MMA PRAXIS STEWARDSHIP INVESTING UPDATE 2004: A RECORD YEAR FOR SHAREHOLDER ADVOCACY While the five-month proxy season is barely over, statistics released by the Investor Responsibility Research Center (IRRC) indicate that a record 1,147 proposals have already been filed in 2004. This is up dramatically from 802 filed in 2002 - the year's widespread corporate scandals lit a fire under many concerned investors. And not only are resolutions being filed, they are receiving new levels of support - 161 received majority support (mostly issues related to corporate governance) in 2003, a record that could be broken in 2004. All of this activity is having real-world impact. According to Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the nation's leading provider of independent proxy voting analysis and services, 70 companies took action in 2004 to implement majority votes on previous shareholder resolutions. More than 40 companies took action on poison pills, while 50 moved to annual elections of directors. New stock market listing standards (promoted by shareholder advocates) have inspired greater director independence, strengthened board structures, and given shareholders more say on equity plans and repricings. A proposal, not yet adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), may even provide qualified investors access to the proxy ballot to nominate directors in certain circumstances. In addition, a new position of "corporate governance officer" is being seen at an increasing number of corporations and institutions. The election of an independent chairman (separate from the CEO) received new levels of attention, particularly in the wake of the stunning "vote-no" campaign targeting Disney CEO Michael Eisner. Executive compensation, along with board independence, were the top resolutions in 2004, targeting pay for performance, severance packages and stock options expensing. Many companies have engaged in a "radical rethinking" of executive compensation strategies, but according to ISS "examples of egregious pay still stand out" and remain a key component of the unfinished corporate reform agenda. Finally, ISS notes that socially responsible investor advocates (like MMA) "continued to negotiate [their] way closer to the mainstream, thanks in part to language that made the business case for SRI." Socially responsible investors reached agreements with companies on issues such as reduced greenhouse emissions, creation of environmental affairs offices, disclosure of global warming and environmental risks, and adoption of substantial human rights policies. MMA, rooted in our faith-based commitment to stewardship investing, is proud to be an advocate for "business case" arguments for corporate change. We have worked on a wide-range of issues with partner institutions through the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and the Social Investment Forum to leverage our voice to many different corporations. SECOND QUARTER VOTES HIGHLIGHT IMPORTANCE OF PROXY VOTING The proxy votes cast by MMA, on behalf of its shareholders, at corporate meetings across the United States and around the world indicate the importance of exercising this power in support of our stewardship investing values. In meetings held from April through June (the bulk of the annual proxy-voting season), MMA cast votes against the recommendations of management 378 times and supported 169 shareholder-filed resolutions. The votes were cast based on careful research and evaluation of each resolution and in accordance with MMA's proxy voting guidelines (available on the MMA Praxis Web site). We view proxy voting as a critical element of our rights and responsibilities as shareholders in hundreds of corporations and stewards of God's resources. 8 MMA MEETS SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION VOTE DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Last year, the SEC adopted regulations requiring all mutual funds to disclose and report their proxy voting records and guidelines. MMA Praxis Mutual Funds supported this move and has been proudly disclosing our proxy voting record - live - via the MMA Praxis Web site for over four years. MMA is on track to submit its first required proxy voting report to the SEC (known as "Form NPX") well ahead of the August 31 deadline. We encourage all investors to review the proxy voting records (and guidelines) of the mutual funds in which they invest - either on the mutual fund's Web site, by calling 800-527-3713 or by visiting the SEC's Web site, www.sec.gov. These records speak loudly to whose interests are being supported through the power of the proxy and whether your social convictions are being adequately represented. UPDATE ON MMA CORPORATE ENGAGEMENTS This wave of advocacy has lead to new corporate approaches to dealing with shareholders. ISS claims in its Preliminary 2004 Post Season Report, "To an impressive degree, constructive dialogue between shareholders and corporations replaced confrontation . . . and to the mutual benefit of both corporations and institutional investors." A record number of shareholder resolutions were actually withdrawn in the 2004 season - indicating a negotiated settlement on issues of concern or corporate commitments to a meaningful dialogues on the topic. MMA was privileged to be involved in a number of significant corporate engagements this proxy season. PROCTER & GAMBLE: FAIR TRADE PROMISES BECOME IN-STORE REALITY. In 2003, concerned shareholders won an agreement from P&G to launch the first Fair Trade Certified coffee product by any of the three largest U.S. coffee roasters, making the company one of the world's largest purchasers of fair trade coffee. An online retail launch for Millstone Mountain Moonlight Fair Trade Certified Coffee took place last fall, with great success. The product topped, by a significant margin, several other new coffee lines launched simultaneously. Currently, final product planning and marketing work is being completed for an in-store retail launch of its Fair Trade Certified coffee product this fall. PEPSICO: CONTINUED DIALOGUE AND SECOND-YEAR VOTE INSPIRE AGREEMENT ON HIV/AIDS REPORTING. Following a second year of dialogue and negotiation without signifi- cant breakthrough, MMA took a shareholder resolution seeking a report on the business risks of HIV/AIDS to Pepsi's current and future operations and markets, to the 2004 PepsiCo annual shareholder meeting for vote. While the resolution garnered the votes required to return for a third year, PepsiCo CEO, Steve Reinemund, announced to the gathered shareholders that the company was committed to addressing HIV/AIDS from a social and business perspective and would work with shareholders to do so. A follow-up meeting with PepsiCo executives has been scheduled for August. FORD: SHAREHOLDER INVOLVEMENT AND MEETING WITH INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR HIGHLIGHT COMPANY COMMITMENT ON HIV/AIDS. MMA has worked with other investors from the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) to move Ford Motor Company - - a major employer and distributor in South Africa, India, and China - to more inclusive and aggressive assessment of risks and response opportunities surrounding HIV/AIDS. The company is working on an in-depth analysis of the operational and market risks being faced and has included shareholder's independent commentary on the importance of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in its latest corporate social responsibility report. A meeting with Edsel Ford, lead director for this issue on the Ford Motor board of directors, and other key executives will take place at Ford headquarters later this summer. 9 PROCTER & GAMBLE: COMPANY COMMITS TO ANALYZING AND DISCLOSING HIV/AIDS IMPACT. MMA and other religious investors made a first approach to this consumer staples giant, seeking more information and involvement on the topic of HIV/AIDS and its impact in key P&G markets in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. The company was eager to talk and, prior to the closing of the proxy ballot, a withdrawal agreement was reached that would include shareholder involvement in the creation of a new HIV/AIDS section of the company's 2004 sustainability report. The company also agreed to announce P&G's commitments in this area at the upcoming shareholder meeting. SARA LEE: SHAREHOLDERS SEEK TO BUILD ON FAIR TRADE SUCCESS AT P&G. Hoping to use the retail success of P&G's launch of Fair Trade Certified coffee as inspiration, MMA and nine other institutional investors have recently approached Sara Lee. Shareholders seek to energize and expand Sara Lee's current - but minor - fair trade coffee purchases through dialogue and engagement. We are currently awaiting a response from the company. WORLD BANK GROUP: MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS OPEN NEW DOORS FOR CORPORATE IMPACT. While institutional investors cannot buy shares directly in World Bank institutions, this multi-lateral financial behemoth is a critical player in some of the world's largest and most socially and environmentally sensitive development projects. Many of these projects involve companies - as financiers or corporate partners - held in institutional portfolios. Over the past decade, the World Bank has emerged as an important - if often unofficial - standard setting organization, and one that has proven eager to engage the social investment community. Through the International SRI Working Group, currently chaired by MMA, we have had a number of opportunities to interact with key World Bank Group staff on topics of social and environmental standards, project financing policy, the business impact of AIDS and the Bank's leadership role with the global finance community. In particular, shareholders have worked to support the launch of the EQUATOR PRINCIPLES, which commit signatories (such as Citigroup, Barclays, and Dresdner Bank), to maintaining World Bank social and environmental standards for financing of major business and infrastructure projects around the world. Today, 80 percent of global project financing is provided by Equator-signatory institutions. In addition, the recent launch of the Bank's EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES REVIEW - and the social investment community's support of many of its key provisions - has inspired requests for dialogue from the Bank and several extractive industry corporations. These conversations have covered the current ineffectiveness of nature resource exploitation in alleviating poverty and contributing to development, the potentially beneficial role of the World Bank Group in extractive projects, and possible alternatives for resources currently targeting the extractive sector. In all, the conversations have been enlightening and have opened new doors for shareholders to influence many of the corporations and industries in which we invest.

However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates. During the first quarter of 2004, there was a great deal of concern about the lack of job growth despite solid economic growth. Fixed income markets were dominated by interest rate volatility based on monthly analysis of various economic metrics. In particular, employment growth was the main metric during the first half of 2004. Interest rates dropped during the first quarter, based on very weak employment growth. The second quarter began with a surprisingly strong employment report that, upon release, caused interest rates to rise immediately. Prior to the April 2 release of employment information, many market participants openly wondered when hiring would pick up. The March data, released in early April, quickly eliminated the naysayers and each subsequent jobs report throughout the quarter provided further evidence of a cyclical upturn in hiring. Evidence of solid economic footing and a mild uptick in inflation sent interest rates higher. The yield for the 10-year Treasury began the second quarter at 3.84 percent and ended the quarter at 4.60 percent. This 76 basis point (0.76%) rise in the 10-year accurately predicted the beginning of a more restrictive Federal Reserve monetary policy. Stimulative monetary policy is normally warranted in a depressed or slow growth environment. We believe the economy is neither depressed nor growing slowly. The economy is clipping along at a healthy 4 percent or so rate of growth. At the June meeting, which coincided with quarter end, the Federal Funds rate of 1 percent was increased to 1.25 percent. We believe this is a moderate step toward a less stimulative monetary policy. A step not intended to shock the system, but a very loud warning shot across the bow that more rate hikes are coming. In our view this marks the beginning of a phase of monetary policy that appears to be moving from highly stimulative toward neutral. In the statement that accompanied the 25 basis point (0.25%) rate hike the Fed provided further information on its current policy: "... the Committee believes that policy accommodation can be removed at a pace that is likely to be measured. Nonetheless, the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability." In other words, the Fed believes current inflation and growth data is not cause for concern but, if inflation should pick-up substantially, then the "measured" pace of perhaps 25 basis points (0.25%) per meeting could be increased to perhaps 50 basis points (0.50%) at a subsequent meeting. This Fed tightening cycle is arguably the most transparent monetary policy shift on record. Despite Alan Greenspan's often-cited knack for ambiguity, the Fed telegraphed quite clearly to the financial markets its intentions. On the day in which the Fed increased the Fed Funds rate, longer-term interest rates actually decreased moderately. We believe this indicates the capital markets had adequately anticipated and "priced-in" the beginning of the Fed tightening cycle. 12 The intermediate bond fund lost ground in the first quarter and then gained considerable ground during the second quarter by minimizing its exposure to rising interest rates. The outperformance during the second quarter was largely a result of the portfolio maintaining a duration (or interest rate sensitivity) of approximately 10 percent less than its benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.(1) As rising rates hurt bond returns, they hurt the portfolio less than the index or peer group comparisons. In addition, credit selection and below investment grade credit exposure continued to provide positive excess returns. OUTLOOK We believe the economy appears to be strong. Corporations are experiencing record profitability and have strong cashflow to show for it. Strong cash flow and modest financial leverage engender very low defaults and, therefore, stable to narrowing credit spreads for the remainder of the year. We believe the Fed will continue to raise the Fed Funds rate during the second half of the year. While the 10-year has already made quite a big move in the second quarter, we believe further pressure on the 10-year should result in higher yields.

The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Despite the meandering path taken by U.S. stocks during the first half of the year, broad equity market indexes like the Standard & Poor's 500 Index(1) stand within a few percentage points of their highs since bottoming in early October 2002. Strong, but moderating, economic growth continued into the first half of 2004, after racing ahead in the second half of 2003. Even as economic growth moderates, corporate profits have remained strong into the first half of this year on the benefits of increasing profitability, deep cost cutting, and strong demand. We believe profit growth, too, will likely slow from its quick pace as operating efficiencies get competed away throughout the year, but for now, U.S.-based corporations appear to have gained a purchase on the slippery slope to recovery. Market leadership appears to be slowly shifting from the riskiest stocks in the most tenuous sectors of the economy to larger, more stable companies whose businesses are less reliant on the strength of the economy. Still, early in the year, economically sensitive stocks - those whose profits ebb and flow with the success of the economy at large - delivered huge profit growth results in comparison to a year ago. We believe these outsized profit gains are unlikely to continue, both because they resulted from deep cost cutting and because comparisons with last year become mathematically more difficult to surpass as the year wears on. And so, a hand-off appears to be occurring, where larger companies whose stocks did not benefit greatly from 2003's bull market are beginning to grab more attention from investors looking for predictability. On the economic front we're also seeing an important hand-off from fiscal-led to job-led consumer spending. As interest rates rise in anticipation of faster economic growth, and the benefits of last year's tax cuts wear off, mortgage refinancing and lower taxes are no longer spurring the American consumer. Instead, the economy has seen an increase in jobs and personal income, both of which appear to be picking up the slack. Rising interest rates and the specter of inflation still have some economy watchers nervous, but all in all, we believe the economic recovery is reasonably healthy. With this as a backdrop, MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund performed reasonably well during the first half of the year. The fund (A shares, up 3.47 percent) outperformed its benchmark, the Standard and Poor's 500 Index(1) (3.44 percent) during the first half of the year for a number of reasons. First of all, the types of companies we typically invest in - those with higher-quality financial profiles - have performed well as the leadership handoff began. Secondly, our slightly more defensive portfolio fared well as the market rally of 2003 fizzled. Investments in energy, consumer - ---------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

In general, the decisions we made at the portfolio level, including sector weightings and our slightly defensive position, were positive to performance for the first half of the year. Stock specific decisions also were a net positive, though they had a smaller impact than our top-down decisions. Among our consumer staples holdings, PEPSICO, GILLETTE, KIMBERLY CLARK, and PROCTER & GAMBLE performed particularly well, all delivering double-digit returns for the first half of the year. Often referred to as defensive stocks, the stocks name here typically perform better later in economic cycles, after growth slows to a moderate pace. By comparison, these stocks trailed their more speedy peers in the race to the top during last year's fast economic growth recovery.(1) Another area of strength so far this year was the energy sector. Among our energy holdings, ANADARKO PETROLEUM, TRANSOCEAN OFFSHORE, and SCHLUMBERGER all rose in the double digits, followed closely by BP and ENSCO INTERNATIONAL. These stocks rose not so much because the spot price of oil rose to above $40 per barrel during June, but more because of the expectation that increasing global demand for oil would persist. With the U.S. economy recovering and China and India continuing to increase their demand for oil, we believe things are looking better in the oil patch, especially for the oil services companies that will benefit from increased drilling.(1) While its stock only rose a modest 10 percent during the first half of the year, TARGET CORPORATION generated the largest positive impact on the portfolio among individuals stocks. The company continues to perform well even as it competes against Wal-Mart. Long saddled with low-growth department store assets, analysts have been suggesting that the company could grow faster if it sold its traditional department store properties. Target management resisted this argument for years, saying that while the department store unit grew slowly, it generated free cash that was being used to aggressively build out the Target store network. Nonetheless, speculation and later an announcement that Target would be selling its Marshall Field's stores to May Department Stores pushed the stock higher. Target also expects to announce a sale of its Mervyn's stores in the near future.(1) On the negative side, a few stock specific cases dampened returns during the first half of the year. FANNIE MAE, a regular target for criticism on Capitol Hill and in the business news, came under increasing scrutiny during the early part of the year for the manner in which it hedges risk. Also, the perennial discussion about removing the perception that the U.S. federal government fully backs the company reared its head yet again. We believe that even if Fannie Mae's government sponsored entity (GSE) status was revoked and the company was forced to operate as a regular publicly traded company, it demands a higher stock market value than investors are granting it now. We believe it remains cheap relative to our earnings expectations for the company. We'll continue to watch the political situation, but we expect the company's financial results to speak louder than all of the blustering rhetoric.(1) Another negative for the portfolio was MEDTRONIC, though the stock traded virtually flat during the period. However, it underperformed many of its peers in the medical technology industry and the health care sector at large. It remains one of our favorite investments for its wide stable of medical products, despite having trailed Boston Scientific and St. Jude Medical in the latest round of product introductions of drug-coated stents. The stents are a small portion of Medtronic's revenue stream, and only represent the difference between "very good" and "great" future profit growth. We believe Medtronic's stock price is still reasonable even if profit growth is only "very good."(1) - ----------- (1) Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy individual securities.

While this performance is often explained by an increase in the use of technology which lead to above trend productivity gains, increasing international trade, and the end of the Cold War, we believe there is a bigger, more profound reason for it. Over this same period, interest rates consistently fell, making investments in equity shares ever more enticing. Some analysts have suggested that as much as 40 percent of the market gains over the last 20 years or so can be attributed to lower and lower interest rates. Why does this matter now? Because we believe that rising, not falling, interest rates are more likely over the next few years, meaning that the last 20 years' tailwind may actually become a headwind that impedes the upward progress of equity prices. The correlation is not perfect, and there have been instances where rates rose and so did stocks, but over longer periods of time higher interest rates are a negative influence on stock prices. We say this not to suggest that investors should completely shun equities as part of their portfolio, but rather to temper expectations as they look into the future. We believe stock valuations in general are in a reasonable range, and there don't appear to be any large dispersions in expected returns among different types of equities. That is, we see no obvious advantage to investing in large versus small company stocks or growth versus value. However, one place we continue to believe offers reasonable prospects is among the largest companies in the economy. The biggest companies are trading at discounts to their normal levels relative to their profits. This has come about over the last five years or so as their stocks have not moved higher even as their profits have nearly doubled in some cases. We think this trend plays into our hands as large cap investment managers, but we will still have to identify those high quality companies whose stocks trade at valuations that underestimate their profit growth prospects.

SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 41 MMA PRAXIS VALUE INDEX FUND MMA PRAXIS VALUE INDEX FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' LETTER INVESTMENT CONCERNS: Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Securities indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and interest payments and do not take in account brokerage fees or expenses. Securities in the fund do not match those in the indexes and performance of the fund will differ. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. After opening up a gap of value style outperformance early in the year, so-called value stocks and growth stocks returned roughly equal performance for the first six months of the year. The modest absolute returns and the lack of divergence between the two investment styles mirrors what we have been observing in the stock market at large. That is, the strategies that worked in 2003 are not working so far this year. Last year's advantage to value style investing and the outperformance of low priced, high-risk stocks, appears to not be working any longer. Small company stocks have continued to do well early in the year, but that strategy has also begun to yield smaller advantages as large company stocks make up lost ground. We describe these trends not to encourage investors to try to guess which market sector or style strategy will perform best in the coming period, but to explain past performance in the context of a fickle market. It also serves as a reminder that a properly managed portfolio has elements of different asset classes and equity types that, when combined, can reduce risk and may improve performance if rebalanced on a periodic basis (though not too often). As we often remind investors in this section, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund is a passively-managed portfolio that we recommend be used as part of an asset allocation model. We don't recommend that it be used as an attempt to time the market when value-style investing is in favor by other market participants. Such behavior is fraught with danger and often causes investors to experience returns lower than what the mutual fund actually earned for investors who remained invested through the period. The fund's first half underperformance relative to its benchmark, the Standard and Poor's 500/ Barra Value Index,(1) was most significantly driven by lack of exposure to companies excluded from the fund for socially responsible (SRI) reasons. This factor negatively impacted the fund by 1.05 percent. The fund also underperformed due to a lack of exposure to the smaller companies in the benchmark index. This factor impacted the fund by 0.20 percent. However, some of this underperformance was offset by good performance in some names not in the index that are held by the fund. The most notable company was BP.(2) - ---------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

Index constituents are determined twice each year and stocks are purchased in relative proportion to their market values. We continue to believe the fund remains appropriate for diversified investors seeking exposure to the U.S. large-cap value portion of the market and who want their investments to reflect their values.

Among others, additional risks include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, differences among various countries in how taxes are computed and paid, differences in accounting standards which can result in different valuations for similar companies, and differences in auditing and financial reporting practices. BACKGROUND MMA Praxis International Fund invests in international equities, which are screened to exclude companies deemed not socially responsible (SRI). This means that several industries are excluded from investment, and investment in certain other industries is limited. Excluded industries include tobacco, gambling, defense, alcohol, abortifacients, nuclear power, and adult entertainment. Investing in other industries is limited, for example, in the manufacturing and mining industries. In addition, some large companies, which dominate the Europe Australasia, Far East (EAFE) index, are excluded because they do not meet SRI criteria (e.g. Ericsson, Siemans, Hitachi, UBS). There are about 880 companies that are not appropriate for investment due to these restrictions. However, the MSCI EAFE Index,(1) against which this fund is compared, has no such restrictions. Thus, holders of the MMA Praxis fund should remember that investments are made using rigorous SRI criteria. The large number of excluded names and industries means that comparing the fund with an index that has no such restrictions can and does result in wide performance deviations. STRATEGY During the first half of 2004, Japan was overweight with an average weight for the period of 23.51 percent. We believe Japanese equities are inexpensive, and have benefited from three things: China's strong growth, a strong U.S. economy, and the first stage of new domestic demand in Japan itself. As has been the case in the United States and Europe, the lowest quality Japanese equities performed the best. Your fund concentrates on better quality companies and did not fully participate as a result. This was particularly significant in the banking sector where the fund owned the best banks and the worst banks outperformed. We make no apologies for sticking to what we believe are better quality companies with good management. Emerging market exposure was reduced during the first half from about 14 percent to 5 percent. Emerging markets did very well in 2003, and have had to deal with several "one off" situations, which collectively have caused signifi cant declines across the board in Emerging Markets. These "one-offs" include: the surprise defeat of India's ruling party in its recent election, China's sharp change in economic measures to reduce growth and inflationary pressure there, and the Yukos energy trial in Russia. - --------------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

TO OBTAIN PERFORMANCE INFORMATION CURRENT TO THE MOST RECENT MONTH END, PLEASE VISIT MMAPRAXIS.COM. 60 Some of the specific names that added to performance during the period are as follows (these are some of our favorite companies that did well): - - BRASCAN is a Canadian conglomerate that we have held for several years. We meet with the management regularly. When we first bought it, it was trading at a 34 percent discount to its net asset value. Over the years, it has changed from a rag-tag group of businesses, to a more focused group of companies that we believe generate good cash flow.(1) - - OTP BANK is Hungary's largest commercial bank. Business has been booming because mortgage loans have been introduced over the last few years, and OTP has been the largest player in this trend. The government passed tax laws favorable to home ownership. However, these laws have recently become less generous and we have been reducing OTP holdings as a result.(1) - - VIVENDI UNIVERSAL, a much-maligned French media company under its former management, has new management, and is selling off non-core units, of which there are many. It is paying down debt with the proceeds, and we believe the remaining businesses are good cash flow businesses.(1) - - One of our favorites, SMITH & NEPHEW, keeps on keeping on. It is a leading UK producer of artificial hip and knee joints. The populations of Europe, Japan, and the United States are aging, and our research has revealed that the demand for their important products will increase significantly over the next decade. It is one of three manufacturers that share the world market.(1) Now let's turn to some names that didn't do so well: - - Top on our list of underperformers was RELIANCE, an Indian conglomerate. It is involved in telecommunications (cellular), energy, and petrochemicals. It is one of India's blue chips. When the heavily favored incumbent BJP party was ousted from power in favor of the Congress party, the Indian market declined significantly. Reliance was down about 35 percent in a short period of time. We reviewed the holding and concluded that nothing had changed about the company, and we would continue to hold it.(1) - - NOKIA is the most widely known manufacturer of cell phones. It's shares had a tough half, and we concluded that competition was growing significantly and that it would not regain its preeminent position in a more crowded global field. We sold it.(1) In general, the funds' management looks for the best value (e.g., Brascan when we bought it) and growth (e.g., Smith & Nephew) companies we can find. We like well-managed companies, or companies where there is an improvement underway. Cash flow is more important to us than earnings because it is more difficult for companies to manipulate cash flow. And our search is for companies that are socially responsible. OUTLOOK In the international markets, we believe the second half of 2004 will be much like the first half of the year. Uncertainty about the effects of higher interest rates, geopolitical issues, and high energy prices may continue to dominate investor sentiment. As a result, we believe the international stock markets are likely to remain in a trading range. In this environment, stock selection could be the key to performance. We have positioned the fund to take advantage of some of the best global companies, and we believe this will benefit total return over the longer term.

SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 74 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION: The MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, as amended and restated December 1, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Trust currently consists of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, and the MMA Praxis International Fund (individually a "Fund", collectively "the Funds"). Also known as the Intermediate Income fund, Core Stock Fund, International Fund, and Value Index Fund. The Funds offer two classes of shares, Class A and Class B. Each class of shares in the Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Securities Valuation: Securities are valued at market values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and market values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Funds use various independent pricing services to value most of their investments. If market quotations are not available, the securities are valued by a method which the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. Securities Transactions and Related Income: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where 75 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets or other appropriate basis. Risk Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies: Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include adverse future political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those countries. Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments on their capital markets by foreign entities, including restriction on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to the relevant nation's interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available or result in lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries. Foreign Currency Translation: The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities of the Intermediate Fund, Value Index Fund and the International Fund denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized/unrealized gain (loss) from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities including investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The International Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of specific foreign currencies at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts for the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The International Fund will enter into forward contracts as a hedge against 76 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) specific transactions or portfolio positions to protect against adverse currency movements. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the International Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Restricted Securities: Investments in restricted securities are valued by the Board of Trustees or valued pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Valuation Procedures"). The Valuation Procedures contemplate the Board's delegation of the implementation of the Valuation Procedures to the Funds' adviser. In valuating restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Funds' adviser will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures require that the Funds' adviser report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of restricted securities and actions taken in connection with the Valuation Procedures. Community Development Investments: Consistent with the investment criteria for socially responsible investing, the Board of Trustees of the Fund has authorized the Funds to make certain types of community development investments. In connection with the community development investments, the Funds have received from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order that would permit each of the Funds to invest a limited portion of their respective net assets in securities issued by an affiliate of MMA Capital Management (the "Adviser"), MMA Community Development Investments, Inc. ("MMA-CDI"). MMA-CDI is a not-for-profit corporation that was organized specifically to promote community development investing and it seeks to fund its efforts primarily through the sale to investors of interests in certain investment pools that it has established (the "CDI-Notes"). Assets raised through offerings of CDI-Notes are then invested directly in non-profit and not-for-profit community development organizations. Each Fund, in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, would be permitted to invest up to 3% of its net assets in CDI-Notes. CDI-Notes have certain specific risk factors associated with them. These types of investments offer a rate of return below the prevailing market rate at acquisition and are considered illiquid, unrated and below-investment grade. They also involve a greater risk of default or price decline than investment-grade securities. However, these investments have been determined by the Board of Trustees as being a beneficial way to carry out each Fund's goals for stewardship investing at the community level. In addition, these investments are priced in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Intermediate Income Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid semi-annually for the Core Stock Fund, the Value Index Fund, and the International Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from net realized 77 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute timely all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the International Fund will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld. Other: Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to each Fund on the basis of relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class are charged directly to that class. Each Fund maintains a cash balance with its custodian and receives a reduction of their custody fees and expenses for the amounts of interest earned on such uninvested cash balance. For financial reporting purposes for the period ended June 30, 2004, custodian fees and expenses paid by third parties were $5,082, $6,052, $1,137 and $21,558 for the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, Value Index Fund and International Fund, respectively.
